HYPNOTIC WORK.

in a hypnotic sleep. This he did with
apparent ease and the man was still
in that state when taken to the Bio
theater about o'clock. Shortly aft
er the curtain was rung up the pro-
lessor had the sleeper become per-
fectly rigid. after which he had sew
eral persons lift him OFF the cot and
place him in a standing position.
When in this position. Mr.. Willard
had the muscles relaxed and called
on the man to awaken, which he did,
much to the amusement of the large
audience present. The card tricks
performed by the Man of Mystery
were exceptionally clever and re-
ceived much applause. The stunts
performed by the men who were I'M
der the hypnotic spell, were such as
to keep the house in roar of laugh
ter. Several moving pictures were
thrown on the canvas and these with
the other acts made very good
nights entertainment.

Copper mining in the Lake coun-

with little change. Ore production
is good and development work in
the mines being attended steadily by
the continued growth of value of The

CHICAGO. Feb. President
Harry Pullamsof the National league
made il plain today between sessions
of the league meeting that he was
willing To forego the glory and sal
airy attached tn his position in order
TO save himself worry.
1t is known that the best of feel
ing does net exist between ar Pull
liam and Garry Hermann, chairman
of the national commission. and Pres
ident Charles W Murphy of the Chi
cago national club. but il was mol un-
til today thai the warfare assumed a
serious aspect. when Mr.. Puliam is
sued q statement declaring he WAS
tired of warfare and. after leaving
for California next Monday. would
not be surprised TO hear that he had
been deposed by those in the league
who he claims 10 be antagonistic 10
his administration.
The proposed amendment Ia the
national agreement in relation To the
class IA league was discussed and
while no definite action was taken,
the sentiment appeared to favor the
change \ similar spirit was mani
tested at the session OF the American
league directors. With the display
of Willingness ON the part of the ma
jor league magnates, II Is probable
that the American association. East
ern league, and Pacific Coast league.
will be placed i'll class by thelli-
selves. according to their desire.
In the National league session II
was decided TO amend rule Ga 50 that
the umpires will not have the power
to fine players or the men on the
coaching lines. In future. VIOLA
tions of the rules of the national
game may be punished only by order
ing the offender TO the club house.
but he may not take up position
either i'm the grandstand or the
bleachers. Another innovation was
the adoption of rule that managers
of home grounds will not be permit
ted to voice any sentiment regarding
ground rules in case the visiting
team ENTERS protest against exist
ing conditions. The umpire is to be
the sole Judge in such an emergency.
In the major league clubs IL was de-
cided by the rules committee that a
limit of % players shall be the max
imum during the playing season. on
and after May Is: and 80 during the
/ so-called "off season" which pre-
cedes the warmer contests of the
clubs for pennant hOnors.
The committee decided to stop the
practice of certain managers of shift

der to give their teams an advantage
when the batters on the opposite side
show great strength at the plate
When one pitcher is taken out. his
successor must remain In the bon

The scoring rules were amended al
the suggestion of committee OF
sporting writer's, and 1t was decided
that the umpires of minor leagues
must use their own judgment In the
matter OF imposing fines. In major
leagues the fines in the past have
been settled by the clubs, and as 4
result the penalty did not fall SUN
GENTLY heavy upon the playing of

cided that in minor leagues, wher,

WHY THEY VOTED THAT WAY.


There has been much discussion Of
the tariff bill Explanations without
number have been put forward to
show why certain articles were placed
under high rate and others under a
low rate. Since returning to their
homes some congressman and some
senators have been telling the people
why they voted as they did. Such e&-
plantations are not necessary, Tor
there is but one reason-namely, the
congressman and senators voted as
they did because they desire to be
reelected. There used to be talk and
is yet of adhering to party principles,
but that was just a disguise for the
real reason. because 1t was thought
a man must of necessity abide by his
party's principles if he ever wished
to have a chance to get another nom
ination and reelection. But there

Upon hearing of this superintend-

but the engineer refused in most en-
phatic terms. He wasn't prepared to
cross the Jordan that morning, 60 he
proposed to abide by the train rules

charge of the engine himself.

IOWA's CRUCIAL TEST.

AS a, state capable of withstand
ing abnormal or extreme weather con-
ditions Iowa has been put to severe
test twice wiUnin the present year.
And it has passed thru these crises in
way to strengthen the faith of those
who all along believed that no other
state possesses so many advantages
and assurances for the man who lives
by the sweat Of his brow, and par
ticularly the farmer
During the early part Of the sum-
mer we had an extended period of wet
weather which in some states would
have utterly drowned out all crops
except grass. It looked dubious for
small grain and corn even in Iowa for
a while and there was pretty severe
damage on low and fiat lands that
were not thoroughly drained. But in
the aggregate the loss was not enor-
NOUS by reason Of too much moisture
Then came the dry, hot weather, be-
i ginning early in July and continuing
practically until the LIST of September.

NEWTON TRAGEDY OFFERS WARNING.

The terrible accident at Newton on
Monday in which a prominent business
man of that city and his wife were in
stantly killed by the overturning of an
automobile offers its suggestion in the
matter Of road building which should
receive immediate attention. This I'M
fortunate Newton man was driving at
slow speed and with every effort to be
careful He had reached one of those
long stretches of county highway COM
mon to every county in Iowa at which
the roadway had been graded very high
in the center with deep ravines on the
side. In the Newton case the descent
was reported to be thirty feet, but this
matters little. If 1t had been six or ten
feet the car could have been upset just
as easily. The trouble was with the
width of the road.
The Newton man saw that farmers
team was greatly frightened in pass
ing. For fear that the farmer would
be crowded over the embankment and
upset with plunging team to handle
the driver of the car edged over to his
side just as far as he could. He mis-
calculated, his car turned turtle and the
two We're killed in an instant
This accident might have occurred
within a few miles of almost any town
in Iowa. AS the use of autos increases
it will occur again unless we protect
our lives by providing wide turnouts
in these long stretches of embankment
roadways. Drivers of horses are all
conscious of danger in meeting an auto
on one of these roads for even a safe
most cases a very slight side-step will
cause a spill. Not all auto drivers are
so considerate as to court death them
selves and usually the driver of the
horse vehicle is left to escape as best
he can.
SO it becomes matter of urgent
public precaution to see that roads of
this character have their harbors of re-
treat in the form of widened turnouts
not more than sixty rods apart. We
must recognize the presence of the
autocar We must see its greatly in
ereasing frequency upon our public
highways and we must not neglect tc
build roads that are safe to travel on
trusting to luck for the preservation OF
our lives. An accident like the one a,

country it would mean virtually q
failure Of crops. Certain kinds OF soil
can rot Withstand two extreme ex-
ceases es climatic conditions, one close
ly following the other. Iowa crops were
again damaged. This is admitted. But
from Eo large section of the state has
como reports Of failure or even serious
alarm. Hence it may be inferred that
neither the drenching nor the drouth
has very greatly harmed Iowa.
A state that possesses such re-
operative powers that it can emerge
from such an ordeal of weather excess
es as that thru which Iowa has passed
this season, without immense injury,
is entitled to the pride felt by it's citi-
zens and the praise they bestow, as
well as their abiding faith.
One important result of the states
successful grapple with apparently
weather conditions the
past season will be the strengthening
of confidence in its future. Having
behaved SO sp!endidly this "off'' year,
little apprehension will be felt regard
ing the years and seasons that are to
follow. The past and present is suf-
ficient criterion by which to Judge
the future. Nothing short of a cata-
clysm or other improbable and wide
spread catastrophe can down old Iowa.
She has stood the crucial test.
