HIS MIND A BLANK.
Washington Man Has Queer Expert
ence for Three Weeks.

Living for several weeks with his
mind an absolute blank, although to
all appearances his brain was in nor
NAL state, was the strange psycholog-
ical experience undergone by George
B. Harmon, a rancher of Crescent
Wash, who mysteriously disappeared
from Spokane on the night of March
Is.
From the time he was rendered un
conscious by blow on the head from
blunt instrument in the hands of a
thug and robbed of 5000 in the Divi
sion street cut on the night of his dis
appearance Mr.. Harmon remembers
nothing until his memory was re
stored as mysteriously as it had been
lost when he fell from a scaffold on
a ranch near Helena, Mont, April 81
and sprained his ankle.
How he recovered consciousness
after being beaten into insensibility
by the footpad, where he went after
ward and how he came to be working
on ranch in Montana are alike prob
lens which are shrouded in the deep
est mystery.

New England Against Saloons.

Conditions governing traffic in intox-

New England will become consider
ably disturbed on the first of May,
when changes in local option take eff
feet and temperance workers are
pointing to the general situation as an
index of spreading sentiment against
the saloon. In Vermont only 20 cities
and towns will legalize the sale of
liquor this year, as compared with so
licensed cities and towns five years
ago. 1t is estimated that about 1000
men were employed in the places
which will have to close the ensuing
year.

STEAL MAIL BAGS WORTH $500, 900
London Reports Theft-New York De-
MES Any knowledge of 1t.

London, April 3O-The London pos
tai authorities have learned that two
bags of mail from this city containing
securities and other valuables worth
100000 were stolen in New York the
latter part of last month. According
to the reports received here, one of
the bags was destined for St. Louis
and was shipped by the Majestic
which arrived in New York on March
26; the other, destined for Brooklyn,
was shipped by the steamer Quilah,
which arrived at New York March 30.
Both bags disappeared in transit be-
tween the steamers and the postoffice.
1t is said that they were handed over
to the mail boats and receipted for.
Efforts have been made to keep the
theft a secret while the investigation
is going on.
Postal Inspector Mayer of New York
said that it was true that a couple of
mail bags which had arrived here late
| in March were missing and as yet I'M
accounted for but the authorities here
were inclined to believe that the alb
sence of the bags were due to an error.
He said he thought they had probably
been wrongly labeled.

Hunted In Vain.

A crowd of men and a divining rod have caused a good deal of amusement in and around the littla town of Jones' boro during the past few days
 There is a development company operat- ing around Sh; des valley. It is under stood that some man or men received a hunch that the ground around there con- tained some precious metal. Anyway this crowd started out to find it if it was there and they took along more tools than grave digger would care to use
 The divining rod was the main stay and they worked both late and early to see if they could not land on some thing. That rod was carried around as if it was a piece of gold and the pros pectors were looking every minute for it to drop on something valuable. It did drop one time, but the only thing that resulted was an old copper helmet.
 One of the owners got on to the scheme and when he went out to the place he found some tools which had been left and decided that he would take them home. However he thought about it again and decided to post a sign on the prop erty and here is what he had printed.
 You can go as far as you like, as often as you like and as long as you like, but please remember that the com pany has to share in the find" The sign was posted this morning and it is more than probable that the search for lost treasure will be discontinued.

NOISE IN CONVENTIONS.
One in Which, Writer Says, Con-
 anches and Partners Were outdone.

From the Chicago Record Herald
 The noisest the jolliest, the most ex- citing. and perhaps least logical cam paign was that of 1S40. William Henry Harrison, hero of an Indian victory .t Tippecanoe, plain old man. who hal llved his opponents sneeringly said. in a log cabin decorated with coon skins and had drunk hard cider, was selected bv Ihurlow Weed as a better candidate than Henry Clay. The issues between Van Buren, the democratic candidate. and harrlson, were not clearly drawn. out the adventitious circumstances of Har- rlson's early life were skllfully utilized TOT theatrical effects. Processions. miles long, with log cabins, cider barrels. and coon skin caps on poles, stretched from state to state. Glee clubs were a feature or the campaign, and the Indian fighter was fairly sung into office
 In the convention of 1860 began the modern custom of cheering and counter cheering. The Seward contingent gave a parade the day of the convention. While they were marching Lincoln SUD- porters filled the wigwam. With the naming of the candidates began the cheering. Murat Halstead says that when Seward was nominated and sec onded 'the shouting was absolutely fran tic, shrill, and wild. Commanches or pam thers never struck higher note nor gave screams with more internal intensity Looking from the stage over the vast amphtheater, nothing was to be seen be- low but thousands of hats-a black mighty swarm of hats-hying with the velocity of hornets, over a mass of hu- man heads, most of the mouths of which were open"
 But when Lincoln's nomination was seconded the west was heard from 'I thought the Seward yell could not be surpassed" says Halstead, but the Lin coin boys were clearly ahead, and, feel-- ing their victory, as there was a lull in the storm, took deep breaths all around, and gave a scream that was positively awful and accompanied it with stamping that made every plank and pillar in the building quiver."
 On the third ballot Lincoln was nom- mated The shouting was so deafening that the cannon which was discharged on the roof of the building could not pc heard inside.
