BIG DOlN'S At CONVENTION HALL

larity and festivity of the occasion. Bet
| ter go and enjoy the fun.
Last night there was another great
crowd on hand, and the indications are
that interest In the show is not yet at
| flood tide Every one who goes returns en-
| thusiastic and spreads praise to all the
neighbors. The greatest advertisement
| the show has are the persons who have
visited IT. And last nights, attendance
was larger than that on the opening
night.

The first 1000 women who reach the
booth Of the C. F. Sauer Company to-
night will receive samples of that COM

Probably the best pleased of all the
demonstrators are the ladies at the sur

one Of them, chow many names have

touch with the crowds. Our cause Will
undoubtedly get a great impetus through

Vain Invocation of Power.

Then, invoking the power of suggestion
he spoke in the dead mans ear.

your heart action-your heart action is
beginning. 1t is beginning"
Slowly and dramatically Davenport re-
peated this in the ear. Then, changing
his tone Of voice to an imperious COM
mand, he cried, sharply:
Bob. Bob. Can't you hear me? Your
heart is beginning to beat. Your heart
is beginning to beat
Again and again he repeated this as
surance to the inanimate form. while the
medical men looked -grimly on. Not a
muscle of the body stirred, and there was
absolutely no sign Of animation.
Again Davenport changed his methods.
Leaning over Simpsons right ear, he
spoke confidentially: "Oh. l say. Bob"
he said, in a quiet, conversational tone,
look, your heart is beginning to beat
He repeated this soothingly time AFTER
time, but without effect. Simpson appar-
emily was as dead as the prOverbial door

Then he went out and the medical men

years old. and was accustomed, II Is said.

Hypnotist to Make Fight.

Everton has employed counsel and will
fight the case. 1t has been suggested that
he will make the plea that the man was
still alive when the autopsy was per-
formed. citing various cases Of suspended
animation as proof Of this. DR.. Duncan
Quackenbos. professor emeritus of Co
lumbia University. and one Of the leading
authorities on hypnotism in this country.
said that 1t was not unlikely that Simp-
sons was a case of suspended animation,
and that an autopsy should be made with
caution or perhaps deferred until there
was no possibility of life.
Eight physicians assisted in performing
the autopsy, and they issued a signed
statement at it's close stating that death
was due to rupture Of the aorta, the
trunk line Of the arterial system. This
indicated, according to the coroner. that
death primarily was due to natural
causes and that the man probably had
been suffering for some time from an
aneurism.
Death was practically instantaneous and
probably occurred just as Simpson was
coming out of the trance. Whether the
strain he was put under when Everton
stood on. his body during his rigidity
caused the rupture. cannot be ascertain
ed. The result of the autopsy will more
than likely bring about Everton's re-
lease on bail.

Notwithstanding the declarations OF ply

asked that Davenport be allowed to try

YOUNG BUT THRIFTY
THE GLENDALE BANK
The Expectations of Cashier Slaughter
Have Been More Than Realized.

The Glendale State bank, though it
has been in oDration only about a
month. has already proved that there
was room in that growing community
for such a financial institution. Cash
Ter w. H. Slaughter of the bank, speak
ing yesterday Of the outlook, said that
it was most promising. and that the
business to date had gone beyond his
expectations. The deposits are now
near the $4,000 mark. It is to be con-
sidered that that real growth of Glen
dale has not yet begun. 1t will date
from the actual beginning OF opera
tions of the beet sugar factory. A
little later, said Mr.. Slaughter, a farm
loan and mortgage business will be
established as an adjunct of the bank.
Mr.. Slaughter is trained in his line.
He comes, moreover, of a family Of
