CHATTER AMENDMENTS SIGNED.
Mayor Approves Orders Adopted by
 Aldermen Monday.

Mayor Martin yesterday signed the bills passed by the aldermen on Mon day night providing for the several amendments to the charter that were recommended by the board In the list of reports that have been filed and published from time to time, as they were offered arc about ten changes. The most important one and one which may cause some trou- blc is that relative to letting contracts for permanent pavcmcnts
 As it is now the permanent paving commission has the full say in the matter. It outlines the way the work shall be done, gets bids and then makes the contract Under the pro posed amendment tho making of the contract must go through the public works department which has the streets under it's care If also pro- vldes that the public works depart mont shall prepare the specifications and all other matters necessary to the paving.

And yet, when the method of escaping from these bonds are understood 1t all seems so simple that 1t is surprising that any intelligent person should be deceived by such commonplace tricks.
 "One of the best rope-tyng tests" Mr. Darlington explained, lis that of the Davenport Brothers, two clever mediums who have deceived thous- ands of persons. In preparing the rope with which they are to be tied they take one of the cords by the mid dle and form at that point bow, or double loop. All that is necessary to make this knot is to wind the cord once around the fingers and, through the ring thus formed draw a small portion of the cord on each side, in opposite directions. This, in fact is a double slip-knot, the loops of which may be diminished or increased in size as the ends are drawn tight or released. Leaving the two loops open. the two ends of the rope are passed through two holes F, red purposely in the chair and with the ends the med iums are secured tightly, the legs be- ing fastened to the bottom of the chair while the arms a'e bouri close to the body. To all appearances they are thoroughly secured, but this is what really happens the moment that the cabinet is closed they draw back their legs a little, thus sackening the knot sufficiently to permit them to ex- tract one hand With the other hand they hold the knot, ready to be drawn tight again as soon as the hand is re- placed, and the legs are extended, but, with one hand free, 1t is quite easy for them 10 make all the racket and producc as many varieties of phe- non1ena as the most captious critic could require, Moreover, when the knots arc examined after the sitting. all appear in perfect order, "~~From "The 5pork Detective, by John k.

DAVIS NOT GUILTY
Rustin Jury, Out 13 Hours, Frees Man Accused of
 Murder.
NINETEEN BALLOTS TAKEN
No Further Prosecution Unless IncN- pcctcd Evidence Is Jn-
 carthcd.

omaha, Nob Dee. lO After thirteen hours delberation tho jury in the case of Charles r, Davis charged with the murder on he morning of September 2, of Dr, Frederick T. Rustn, agreed upon a verdict of not guilty. The vcr- diet was reached at 6;1J a. m. and two hours later Judge Sears received it and ordered the discharge of the prisoner
 It required l9 ballots to reach an agreement The first stood fl to for acquittal Of the charge of murder in the first degree The lone juror main- tained his position for four ballots, and after that was joined by another in voting for conviction on lesser charge,
 The case had attracted unusual att tcnton. not only because Of the prom thence of tho victim, who was one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the city, and the mystery surrounding tho tragedy but because Of the family connections of the defendant.
 It is not believed that any further prosecutions will be undertaken in con- ncction with the Killing of Dr. Rustn unless unexpected evidence should be discovered.
 County Attorney James P, English, who conducted the prosecution, said toe day that Mrs Abbe Rice would be rec leased
 Dr. Rustin's widow has gone 10 Ha- vorhtll, Mass, to make her home with her parents,
 Mrs, Abble Rice, the central figure in the prosecution of Davis, wept when informed that the matrons department of the city jail where she has been since q few days after the death of Dr. Rustn, could be her home no longer Before the trial she declined to leave the jail when her father offered to fur nish bail Now she will leave for Des Moines as soon as her father sends the necessary fund and will remain there until her husband, Irving Rico, who resides in Boston, and with whom she has become reconcled is able to pre- pare a home for her,

TABLE TIPPING.
How the Spirits" Arc Said 10 do
 These Things.


 I,nvltating. or tipping, the table is exhibition of psychic force that ls always watched with interest, and vet there are scores of means by which these results may be obtained fraudulcntly In fact, apparatus manu- factured for this express purpose may be procured from the established deal CTS in such articles, for the old fashioned method of lifting the table with hand or knee is now classed as far too primitive a trick to be worked effectively, Instead, when the table Is either very small, or very light, the medium uses little rubber sucker" but when 1t Is a large or heavy table that is to be levitated the services of an accomplice are usually employed.
 Thus, as one example of these methods. both the medium and his assistant wear stout leather band strapped to their wrists, under the cuffs. Attached to this is an iron rod which extends about an inch beyond the leather band TO lift the table, therefore, t is only necessary that the projecting portion of the piece of iron should be slipped beneath it., for in this position 3 vise-lilfe grip can be obtained that will permit of the table being moved in all dircc- tions without the slightest danger of detection by ordinary inspection.
 still another method that Mir, Car rington describes requires that both the medium and his accomplice shall ho supplied with stout leather strap, In this case the strap goes round the neck under the clothing, and atta ached to the lower end is strong hook, which can bc brought into acquisition as needed, When the lights have been eXtinguished the two operators slip the hook from its place of conceal ment, attach it to the under side of the table, and when they straighten, or stand mp, even the heaviest piece of furniture can bc lrvitatcd with comparatively little difficulty
