BELIEVED TO BE HYPN0TIzED
Home Has Been Visited by Hundreds of People, Who Cannot Account for the Strange Hap
 peninqs.

Mount Horeb. Wis.-The citizens of this village have been considerably troubled during the past few weeks by the actions of Henry Brophy, a young lad II years of age.
 The boy lives with his grandparents in the center of the village and is a lad of more than usual intelligence. The grandparents are aged people. They are retired farmers, having purchased a nice home at Mount Horeb and moved to that village about a year ago.
 The first strange acts were no ticed on March 3. and since that time stories as weird as the phantom ghost have been transpiring in rapid sue cession.' The strange occurrences al- ways take place in the presence of the boy, never when he is absent from the house.
 Some of the best and most highly respected people of Mount Horeb claim to have witnessed scenes for which they cannot give the slightest expla- nation.
 It seems that the prevailing circum- stances are that all articles that move about in a mysterious manner nearly always travel in the direction of the boy, who is usually on the opposite side of the room from that side from which the article starts.
 On one occasion a relative brought a basketfui of eggs 10 the house and set them upon the table. and while talking to the members of the family. oue egg suddenly flew out of the bas. ket, striking the boy in the face On another occasion drawer in the sew. ing machine came out of it's place and came flying through the room, scat. tering the contents in every direction.

Mr.. Caldwell sat up for the opera
ton, instead of assuming the un-

through the ordeal was able to chat
pleasantly with those about him.
The eucaine made it impossible for
him to feel any pain in the leg
which was being severed, although
the saving of the bone gave him a
slight jar. Mr.. Caldwell laughed
and joked, and regaled the surgeons
with stories of his boyhood. At the
close of the operation the patent,
laughingly confessing that he had
feared the outcome of the ordeal
but the expressing hope of his re-
covery, asked for a toby, which he
lit and smoked with quite a relish.
Mr.. Caldwell's friends, of course,
hope and pray for his recovery, but
without any consideration of what
is in the future, they have the mans S
display of nerve in his severe test

reer as matter for satified contem-

DREHER.

Everybody did not get to the
opening and dedication of the new
High school building on Saturday
but from the apparent good feeling
that was in evidence among the
visitors present it is safe to say
that the affair was success. Prof
Oday, of Honesdale, and Greasy, OF
Hawley, and county superintendent
Koehler were present to encourage
the good work already done. The
scholars who are privileged to at
tend school in the new building
should take pride in their work and
have a care for the edifice so nearly
completed, that we trust will stand
as a monument to the liberality and
interest manifested in the cause OF
education by the people in Dreher.
The appearance of the new building
with its intended comforts for teach
ers and scholars, show marked
contrast in comparison with the
Hopedale school house of twenty
years ago. The boys and girls OF
to-day certainly have an opportunity
to show what they can do.
