the slightest occurrence between DR.. Hyslop
and his mediums which is not entirely explain
able from the kind of abnormal brain action
which every psychologist knows from observa-
| neurotic berrations,-abnormal happenings
| which certainly do not need the spiritualistic
| machinery. But while the psychologist
jects in the one in the other. the ex-
planation through spirits superfluous and
illogical he ought to be willing to confess that
behind the mere argument of reason stands
| more powerfully still the argument of emotion
his whole being abhors this repellant caricature
of immortality this vulgar materialism which
makes the after life trivial continuation of
the lowest stratum of Our personality
Of course this ethical and religious aspect of
the great problem lies to-day outside of our
discussion. If we were to consider it, we should
have to insist that the idea of eternal life is de-
taken as such temporal habltatlon of man
in remote quarters. But l wished to abstract
here from. the speculations of the philosopher: /:
l wished to deal with our question only as a
psychologist. The problem is thus not whether
our dead friends are going on with their exist
ence and are willing to talk; it is only whether
such automatic writings can be accredited as
supernatural messages from them.
The Scientists Duty
| 0F course, the public at large would hardly
have been influenced SO much by the slate
| writing of pathological mediums if there did
not exist a latent belief that all such uncon-
| scious utterances spring from a deeper sub
conscious personality. Such a subconscious
self may then be free from the limitations of
our conscious self, may have knowledge and
| insight which go beyond our conscious powers,
may thus perhaps enjoy kind of long distance
wireless connection with other selves, and may
afford, finally, even the longed for information
| from the dead. But it is the duty of the scien
tist to emphasize that this belief, which is so
| fruitful for every superstition, has not the

Watch is Located.

Last spring while Miss Agnes
Moran was teaching in the coun-
try she lost her watch one day
while coming to town. When
missed others who were driving
back of the buggy she was in
were asked If they saw it but
stated they had not. The watch
was advertised and the number
recorded at the jeweIry stores.
One day recently the watch was
taken to Jaquet's for repair and
the number noted. The matter
was reported and when ques-
toned by County Attorney
James the young lady who left
the watch stated it was given
her by young man who is
known to have been driving
into town in a rig back of Miss
Moran. The young man will
be questioned and if he gives
up the watch the matter will be
settled quietly, otherwise Miss
Moran will redeem her property
by law.

The Journal is certainly Gre
ating a very friendly feeling be-
tween the Missouri Pacific and
Falls City. 1t seems that these
papers have been sent to the
roads directory in New York and
the road has inquired of the COM
mercial club if the sentiments of
our people are correctly indicated
by the Journal. The matter of
the division for this road is said
to be slated for determination in
the spring and the Journal is
doing a splending work to insure
its going some where else. We
understand the matter is to come
up before the commercial club in
the near future and that efforts
will be made to minimize the
injury the paper has done the
town.

THE TICKET.

OF course there are many who
regret deeply the defeat of Judge
Sedgwick, but if he had to be
defeated this paper would pre-
fer Judge Reese to be the man.
The charges against Judge
Sedgwick were so baseless that
the chief regret is the methods
employed rather than the re-
suit obtained The county
ticket named is excellent and
merits the undivided support of
the party. 1t will seem a little
strange not to have simon pure
republicans running for treas
urer, sheriff and clerk of the
court. but the peculiar situation
has deprived the party OF candl-
dates for these Offices. While
the vote doesn't show it, still
more than half of the republi-
cans of Falls City voted for
Lord. Fenton and Loree. Many
republicans wrote the names of
these gentlemen on their tick
cts but neglected to put a cross
in the square and therefore lost
their votes. Without discussing
the principle sacrificed in such
voting, the fact remains thai
m ny republicans preferred
these gentlemen to candidate:
from their own party, and sucl
preference is responsible for tn,
fact that the dominant part,
has no candidates for the prin
cipal county offices.

Detroit, Mich.-Arthur GLADDEN., SIS,
a prosperous farmer of Dimondale, is
dead of a broken heart. Owing to the
ambition of his wife to move to the
city, GLADDEN. had sold his farm for
$4,000 and purchased home in Ian
sing. When the time came to give
up possession of the beautiful cottage
and broad acres which had been his
home SO long, GLADDEN. wandered from
field to field, from stable to stable,
taking last looks at all of which he
thought so much. Climbing into the
haymow, he covered himself in the
fragrant clover, the strings of his
heart snapped and he died without
word or a cry. When found, his face
was still wet with the tears that had
coursed steadily down his cheeks for
the last week. It was found that the
day before his death Farmer GLADDEN.
had offered to buy back the farm for
$1,000 more than he had received, but
the offer was refused.

Mother of Thirteen Small Quail.

Marysville, Or E. V. Robinson
of Plain City, this county, who claims
the distinction of having rescued dur.
ing his boyhood days Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks from drowning
in the Big Darby Creek, near this city,
is now becoming quite noted for his
success in raising quails by hand.
While driving a few weeks ago he
came upon a quail's nest containing
19 eggs, which he carried back home
and placed under a bantam hen. In
Just three weeks the little hen became
the proud mother of 13 little brown
quails. They are so small that per
son could hold the entire covey in the
palm of one hand
At different times Dr. Robinson has
raised no less than IS of the birds,
setting them at liberty when they are
full grown. If raised where they can
not hide under bushes or brush they
become as tame as chickens.
