SHOWS THE HUMAN VIBRATIONS.
Frenchman Who Thinks He Has
Photographed the Emotions.

DR.. Baraduc of Paris has been lee
turing, says the Health Record. at the
Theosophical society's room In London
on human vibration. He showed many
photographs of these alleged vibra-
tions by placing n sensitized film on
one OF the nerve centers.
He usually places the film at night
and leaves II till morning. The vibra-
tions of the subject throw the nitrate
of silver on the film into n correspond
ing form Of vibration. which is found
registered on the film when developed
Just as the light reflected from an
object through the lens of n camera
registers the form of that object.
DR.. Baraduc had also many pictures
taken in the ordinary way by means
of the camera. In these various states
of emotion are shown. Sudden anger
appears as sort of whirling shower
of sparks and vapor. a state of high
spiritual contemplation produces a
misty globe of light some way above
the sitter's head.
In one picture the etheric double Of
n woman kneeling in prayer is shown.
According to the doctor the etheric
cosmic forces are continually stream
ing into us and becoming individual
lied, or streaming out. being disindi-
vidualized, mingling again with the
general stream.
One photograph showed the vibra-
tion of telepathic communication
some had lines in ribbons of light.
showing attachment. In one, taken
rs the doctors wife passed away, the
line or bond which had always ap-
peared between them is seen for the
first time broken.

1t Is reported that one of our we'll
known young men went out to visit
couple Of capricious young ladies' the
other night, and 1t seems that they
framed it up on him to some extent
and planned to have all sorts OF sport
when he came to spend the evening.
As he was accredited with being
some what bashful they Thought 1t
would be great joke to initiate ev-
erything he did. When he appeared
in the parlor he blew his nose, and
each of the girls promptly followed
suit. The incident struck him rather
funny at the time, but lie didn't make
any particular cute remark about 1t.
He said mice evening" and sat down
and they repeated the performance.
The repetition of the remark caught
him again, so before he did anything
more he rubbed his hands together
and stroked his hair, and they did the
same. mot so cold tonight" he ven
turcd, in order to be sure OF his ground
and they repeated with slight change
in emphasis, "Not so cold tonight"
There was "a slight twinkle OF mischief
in their eyes, and he caught the cue.
He Strengthened his collar and they
did the same, and one of them smiled
n tritle. He didn't hesitate any longer
but deliberately stopped down aud
turned up his trousers.-1daho Falls

'pecial to THE NEW ERA.

Special to THE New ERA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. lst.
Arrivals OF cattle from the range
country last week were small, as was
the total cattle supply. The run of
"a, 900 head here for the week was
smallest of any week this year. The
market advanced 10 to 20 cents. but
buyers refused to become enthusiastic
claiming that prices are too high Tor
heavy consumption OF beef. Average
pricc OF beef steers for the month OF
January this year was highest in
twenty-five years, and was 50 cents per
cwt. above the average for the last
ten years. The run OF cattle here to-
day is 10000 head, and is light at all
the markets, and in view of the at
tractive prices being paid, 1t would
seem that there is general shortage
of beef cattle in the country ready Tor
market. Packers have complained OF
the low average quality Of offerings
this winter as compared with former
wears, A shipment OF seven cars OF
pulp fed steers from Oregon arrived
last week, and sold at s. 40 to S5 60,
and mixed lot of Colorado beef
steers went at 81 so to 81 30. Stockers
and feeders have been in light supply
from the west and southwest, feeders
ranging from $3.50 to $500, stockers
Al 90 to 81. So, stock cows and hcifers
In great demand at $3.50 TO S4'oo'
Fleshy feeders have gone out for
short feed lately at prices up to S5.9o.
The sheep and lamb market closed
last week In bad shape, but the in-
difference of buyers late last week has
changed into eagerness today, ana
sales are 10 to 25 higher, and more 10
some cases. At the close OF last week
AZ go was quoted as an outside price
for lambs on the Chicago market, out
the bulk OF lambs here today sold AT
81 so to 81. .85, and big string went at
Al. 10. The run here today Is 9,ooo
head, composed chiefly OF lambs. The
market on other classes Is not fully
tested today, although yearlings
reached 90. so for tops. Wethers are
worth 81. 90 to $3.50, ewes 81. So to 30. 10.
Light feeding lambs have been selling
around s8 25, and partly fed lambs at

TEN REASONS FOR
COUNTY DIVISION

First.-Wc could have our own
county High School If we chose.
Second.-We could have respectable
roads.
Third.-The developments along
the Missouri Paci tic would soon equal
those along the Santa Fe.
Fourth.-The taxes Of the Missouri
Pacific would not be taken across the
river to educate the SOuth-Siders.
Fifth.-COunty business could be
attended to promptly without danger
to life during blizzards.
SiXth.-Our taxes would be no high
er,-prObably much lower after second
year.
Sevcnth.-Land values would be
doubled, and we would not be obliged
to sell better land with better water
rights, for about half values obtained
on the south side.
Eighth. Business follows the line
Of railroads, and the country along the
Missouri Pacific has its own interests
as distinct from the south side, as
Adams county from Denver county.
Ninth.-The money paid out for
county expenses would be distributed
at home.
Tenth.-Wc would secure local in
ilucncc in state legislation, for the
first time in our history.
So far, the south side has advanced
but one reason for opposing, viz,
1--WE want to boss the job and spend
your s26, 900 taxes where IL will do rs
the most good" To the narrow mind
ed or dishonest, this is ample reason,
but in the long run it will prove a
boomerang. The north side has be-
come thoroughly alive to its interests
and are already 'srotting" the poll
tictans for next election, In case
county division is not secured this
time. The whole quarrel IL continued
can only result in injury to the valley
south OF the river. Trade boycott
will result next, and various other
interests will be separated, while Il
pcaceable division could be made, as a
means OF mutual benefit. Thriving,
prosperous towns along the Missouri
Pacific railroad through the proposed
Grant county would mean dollars to
the south siders where they get cents
now. Let us hope that they may soon
come into possession Of more sense
cents.
| would commend to the thoughtful
among our south side neighbors, the
words of Lincoln Steilns in February
number of the american Magazine"
in which he says:
"One way of stating what is going
on all about us today is to say that
communitics-cities and counties,
states and nations, are becoming
conscious. Like man when himself.
human society is rising out of the in
structivc into an intelligent state of
being. A common sense is developing
of the relations of individuals and in
stitutions, to one another and to the
whole. This means mind; a Public
mind distinct from the minds OF any
or even all the individuals in The
community. And this public mind,
conscious of common purpose, is
co-ordinating all the resources, efforts
and powers of states and their people
to the service OF the welfare of ALL"

is 1T JUST, THAT THE NORTH
SIDE GO TO HERSELF?
County Division Necessity. Numerous Reasons Why.

money? The levy for county purposes
is l6 mills. The uorLh side, on Il
million and half valuation, will pay
into the county cxchcquer over
S2i 900. What becomes OF this money?
Do you know? Do you stop to figure
that ki"wa county gets along hand
s0mely on Il 81 mil levy for school and
county purposes? Why does Otero
have to keep pushing up the levy for
county purposes from year to year?
Our bonded Indebtedness is only
sli, 800. AT g per cent interest, the
annual interest charge on these bonds
is only $50, IA triiling sum as compared
with the taxes collected. II Is thought
that the fees paid into the various
county Offices are sufficient to pay the
salaries OF these officials. Where.
tell us, does this Sl36.OO 90? Is IL
not time to begin To turn on the
search light? Is 1t not high time that
an economically disposed people, such
as live on the north side, and who, in
their struggles to pull through with
economize, should propose to get away
from the eYtravagance that character
izes the south side methods Of admin
istering our county affairs? 1t GER
tainly appears SO to the thoughtful
mind. To better ourselves and poster
ity IS perhaps the strongest reason we
can possibly advance in favor OF coun-
ty division. We know we can soon
reduce the rate OF taxation. Any man
OF ordinary mental calibre can figure
out how this can be done.
Fifth, The north side is paying
81, $50 for the privilege Of sending one
pupil to the La Junta school. We are
paying II mills on our assessed valua-
tion fer this privilege. This will be
cut of If the new county is created.
Sixth, II we are given the new
county, the people here can avoid the
heavy court expenses incurred on ac-
count OF the criminal prosecutions,
the greater part Of which originate on
the south side.
Seventh, II given county division,
this fertile valley and the towns in IL
will double in population and the
assessed valuation within a few years.
There Is no doubt of this. and this
fact will not only benefit this valley,
but all contiguous territory, and, in
cidentally, the state at large. This is
worth working for.
We can not understand why anyone
who gives this question any thought,
and divcsts himself of his bias and
prejudice, and excludes from his mind
the sclflshness that may have crcpt
into his being, can for one moment
stand up, and in the face Of the above
reasons, offer the slightest objections
to this proposed new county. He who
does it, If he be resident Of the north
side, is opposing his own interest and
the interests of the coming genera
tions, and he will live. long enough to
see the error of his ways. The south
slider, we all know, has only a selfish
motive for the animus of his Opposi-
tion to the proposition.
