most dastardly, diabolical and nenoish
acts that a depraved and british man
can commit Everybody has holy
horror of "ghouls", and they are
Stunned and loathed by all classes OF
whenever a grave is desponed ana
some sacred remains that have been
laid to eternal rest have been as
turbed or stolen, the inner senslDlltuss
of the entire community are aroused
AGAINST such q proclamation Of the dead,
and no effort is spared to apprehend
and punish the perpetrator. Every
nelghborhOod has, in some period OF
its existence, been stirred to deepest
indignatfon by the devilish work Of the
ssehoul'', and even Topeka Is not e11-
empt from the depredations OF the
=rave robber. Within the past four
weeks many positive instances can
truthfully be cited where grave ROB-
hing has been carried on with impun-
ity under the very eyes OF the police
and with their appreciation and sane
ton. This may seem strange 10 the

In fact, every day It is stili being car
ried on to a degree that Is simply as
founding, and in place OF protesting,
there are different ways Of grave rob

ceptacle Of its prey.
This puts another phase on the mat

allied and Goduke than ever engaged
the energies of man. Grave robbing is
the daily avocation of the world re-
nowned hoy phenomenon, and his
success has so astonished the world
that it has been said of him: His

cheats the coffin of its prey, and in
this way robs scores Of graves every
year of their would-be victims.
His private residence. and the Office
of the Vital Magnetic Institute at 615
Van Buren, street is where grave rob
bling is done 18th the eanction and
commentator Of the public. Every
hour Of the day and every day Of the
week this wonderful healer stretches
forth his magnetic hands and robs a
grave Of its victim. He is the grave
especial and implacable foe. Scores of
our people, who but a. few weeks ago
were candidates for an early grave,
now rejoice that they have been res
cued from the very jaws Of death and
the mouth of the grave by the subtle,
soothing. mighty magnetic touch Of
this youthful healer.
The past month the Institute has
been visited by a constant throng of
the afflicted from all over the state,
who could nowhere else find relief.
They are not novelty hunting and
curiosity seeking individuals, but
among the number may be seen many
of the most prominent citizens Of the
state jouTneying toward this great
Mecca of health in hope that
his magnetic hands may relieve
the Affections that have for so
many years defed the most
able physicians, who have. from
time to time. given them the cheerful
assurance that their only hope of res
cue from their af1iction was quiet
nook in the cemetery, quoting these
emotional lines of Montgomery as a
consolation to their blighted hopes.
There is a calm for those who weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie and sweetIy sleep,
Low in the cold, cold ground"
On staff and crutch or borne by the
loving arms of friends, they come to
him. dragging their weary, emaciated
and shrunken limbs, and among them
are nervous, careworn faces. whose
owners have suffered for years with
chronic ailments for the relief and
cure Of which they have sought in
vain and with despair depicted In
every look and move with hope long
since fed yet daring to hope that the
seeming impossible might be accom-
plished
But how different their counten-
ances when they emerge from the
treatment rooms.
What a transformation has been
wrought. Hope illumines their faces.
Vitality marks their step and with
head erect and firm, elastic tread they
go forth to shower blessings on their
