MANY MEN MADE BETTER BY
THE Y. N. C. A. CONVENTION
Were Meetings All
Churches Big Sum Foreign Work.

gelist W. A. Sunday of Chicago two
years ago.
AT all of the evangelical churches
of the city special sermons were
preached at both the morning and ev-
eEing services by delegates to the
convention, and the scope and plan of
Y. NJ. c. A. work was explained with
detail never before attempted in the
local pulpits. The benevolences of the
Association are widespread and are
directed in such a practical way as to
render them of the greatest possible
usefulness to young men in all walks
of life. The Y. NJ. c. A. is without
creed, and in its desire to do good
knows neither race, color nor nation
ality. Next perhaps to the church 1t
is the greatest agency in the United
States in helping young men develop
their better natures and in lifting
them up to a Christian citizenship.
Its object is to bind men together in
the bonds of common brotherhood
and to lift them up into the atmos-
phere of the Christ-life, where they
can realize their kinship with deity.
There were three meetings under
the auspices of the Association on

pressions when necessary. Thru the
mind every organ of the body may be
assisted, and it is thru unconscious ac-
ton of the mind upon the body that so
many diseases are produced and so
many cured.
A study of psychology and sugges-
ton will enable physician, when a
patient first consults him, to ascertain
the part imagination plays in the COM
plant. Imaginary or not, it is real to
the patient.
Every careful observer knows that
the functions of the human body may
be greatly disturbed thru mental inau-
ences, and that such disturbances, if
prolonged, result in fixed functional or
nervous diseases, and that these func-
tional arrangements often terminate in
organic disease and sometimes in
death.
That mental activities are capable of
producing chemical and anatomical
changes in our bodies is a demonstra-
BILE fact. It is also true that while
properly directed thoughts are always
conducive to conditions of health, per
verted mental conditions as certainly
produce functional and organic disease.
Alcoholism is now justly regarded as
perverted mental condition of which
the uncomfortable drink habit is the
outward manifestation. The fact that
alcoholism yields so readily to sugges-
tive therapeutics is positive proof of its
mental origin and on this account its
rational treatment can be accomplished
only along the line Of psychic methods.
Auto-suggestion is as potent in its
influence as when exerted by another.
Even when reason is dethroned, the
thought held by the subjective mind
holds a power over bodily functions.
The following convincing illustration is
vouched for by the Lancet, London,
England:
An English lady, disappointed in
love in her younger years, became in
sane and lost all account Of time. Be
lieving she was still young and living
in the same hour in which she parted
from her lover, taking no note of years,
she stood daily before the window
watching for his coming. In this men.
tai condition she remained young.
Some American travellers, who saw
her, were asked to guess her age
They, not knowing her history, placed
her under 20 years. She was, at the
time, "a; but she had not wrinkle OIL

RECENT LAND SALES
Property Changes Hands at Peshasain
AT High Figure

J. A. Siddall sold his forty acre tract
of land at Peshastin last Friday to
man by the name of Abrogast, recently
from South Dakota. Mr.. Siddalps
place besides house and outbuildings
had some fruit trees set out last year.
Consideration, $10,500. Mr.. Siddall
bought 80 acres nearly two years ago
from w. S. Newland for $4,000 and
sold forty acres to DR.. Saunders of We
natchee.
Charley Gibbs, the oldest settler in
the valley near Peshastin, sold his 80
acre tract to S. P. Beecher last week
for $4,000. Mr.. Beecher already
owned 200 acres adjoining the Gibbs
place. He will put water on all the
land and divide il up into 10 acre
tracts and sell it out 10 actual settlers.
c. S. Craig sold 20 acres near Pc
shastin, to a Montana man last Friday
for 10000. Mr.. Craig bought 40 acres
year ago last September from S. P.
Beecher, giving him 10000 for the
tract and now has 20 acres left for
which he asks $4,000.
Dave Gould closed deal last week
for his place near Peshastin, some 225
acres, to H. T. Robinson, recently
from Iowa, for a consideration of $4,000.
Mr.. Gould homesteaded the place in
1892, and is one Of the old timers in
this section. He is contemplating 60
ing either to California or Oregon.

a gray hair; youth sat gently on cheek
and brow. She was held by thoughts
of youth and love, and it retarded the
marks of age.
The imagination may be wrought
upon by reading-as instanced by pat
ent medicine advertisements-or by
hearsay, or may be wholly creative. In
each case it is the outgrowth of men
tai condition and the result is that the
unreal becomes the real, the ultimate
result frequently proving fatal.
The fatal power of imagination was
illustrated recently in the case OF a
Russian railway employe who was, by
accident, shut up in refrigerator car.
He wrote on the wall, I am becom-
ing colder" Later, I am slowly
freezing" Still later, and the last, I
am half sleep, these may be my last
words
When they took him out he was
dead; but it was found that the tenn
perature of the car was only Sc; the
apparatus was out of order. His auto
suggestion working on his imagination
killed him.
The Philadelphia Press gives the fol-
lowing interesting and highly sugges-
five incident of the power of sugges-
ton thru imagination:
ION one occasion when Ii Hung
Chang, as premier, was having bitter
fight with some of the more conserva-
tive members of the Tsung Ii Yamen,
he received, as present, a magnif-
cent cake which he had reason to sus-
pect contained poison. He set the
cake aside and set to work to find out
who was at the bottom of the plot. The
crime was traced to three men, one OF
whom, at least, was absolutely guilty.
Ii had the trio brought to his yamen.
When they arrived they were ushered
into his presence and were received in
his courtliest manner. The cake was
produced with the remark that polite
ness forbids my tasting it until the three
generous donors have had an opportun-
ity to enjoy its excellence" !"
Iii cut the cake and one Of his ser
vitors handed it to the unwilling guests.
Each took piece and ate, or pretend
ed to eat. One of them crumbled the
pieces and let them fall upon the floor,
but the two others ate calmly without
manifesting any emotion.
Within ten minutes the two men
began to show symptoms Of suffering.
Ii smiled benignantly and said to the

ERECT MORE
BUILDINGS
Peter Ismert and Others viii Build on
Chickasha Avenue

Chickasha avenue is to have still
another building. Before the work
was well begun on the eleven new
buildings the announcement is made
that instead Of there being four build
ings on the north side Of Chickasha av-
enue between 4th and 5th streets there
will be five and perhaps more.
Peter Ismert, who recently sold his
property lower down the street said
this morning that he would begin at
once to erect two story brick build
ing just west of the Sayer-M Mckay
buildings on the north side of Chick
asha avenue. Parties owning adioin-
ing lots are figuring on letting the
contract to build with Mr.. Ismert and
it is possible that half block Of new
buildings will be going up together
on this side Of the street.

BRYAN HELD
UP BY TEDDY
And Relieved Of his Owner ship Goods
RacicaI Measure Proposed

Chicago, July PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
San entirely new and extremely ra-
dical proposition for control Of the
railroads has been advanced by Pres
ident Roosevelt. 1t involves partial
government ownership Of transporta-
tion lines by actual purchase Of stock
The suggestion has been made in
a semi-oficial way, but whether Pres
ident Roosevelt would adopt the
scheme, which is SO nearly socialistic
in its development, may well be doubt
ed. It has been stated however, that
he is actually considering such rec
ommendation and that It is part Of the
proposition to bring the railroads 70
time BY securing receivers for them.
The two schemes fit into each 9TH
er perfectly. 1t would be practically
impossible for the government to Sc
cure the appointment Of receivers Of
to control in any way receivers after
they were appointed unless it had q
monetary interest in the railroad. Il
it owned stock, no matter how small
an amoant, It would have standing
/ in court, the same as the largest cred
litor Of the road.
The idea Of purchasing stock Is
practical one, but is undeniably gov
ernment ownership on small scale
and inevitably would result in actua
ownership in the long run. The the
ory of those who have advanced thi
scheme for the consideration of Pres
ident Roosevelt is that by compare
lively small investment in stock ther
might be small measure of govern
ment ownership but without any gov
ernment control 50 far as the runnin
Of the road is concerned.
