A $4,000 DINNER.
And Just to Think 1t Was Beef
steak Dinner, Too.

Ten thousand dollars for a dinner!
And merely beefsteak dinner at
that! That is the pace in New
York, The dinner in question was
served the other evening at the Hotel
Metropole, and George A. Kessler
was the host. The favors for the
guests were $50 silver mugs. With
IN a stones throw of this revel there
were probably a large number of
starving men and women to whom
the price of one of the mugs would
have meant new life and new hone,
But the beefsteak eaters hadn't time
or thought for the hungry ones IN
the outside.

Nothing Like a Junket to Make

Practically all of the members of
congress who went to Panama on
that junketing trip recently have re-
turned to Washington converted. ="
They now approve of the purchase of
the canal, of the expenditures that
have been made upon the work, of
the revolution that separated the
canal zone from Columbia, of the
enlargement of the influence of the
United States in tne Caribbean,

amount of money that may hereafter
be needed to carry the canal to COM

SCHOOL ON WHEEL WON'T ROLL.
Train That Hauled Politicians About
Won't BE Operated This Year.

Dawson may not welcome the ag-
riculturai college on Wheels" along
with other towns over the state, as
it seems probable now that the train
will not be operated as had been
planned for the coming Spring. In
dlcations now are that the train will
be abandoned for the present year,
because of the probable inability of
the dean and other attaches of the
State Agricultural College to accom-
pany it on it's rounds.

PILL ROLLER VS.. PREACHER
FORMER SAY LATTER ARE MED

TRYING TO TREAT DISEASE.

ATLANTA.-Rece announce
ment that the Baptist ministers of
Atlanta had determined to take up
psychical study not only with view
to furthering their efforts in the saw
ing of souls, but for the purpose of
the treatment of physical ills of the
body, has rather aroused some of the
medical profession of Atlanta, and
an interesting discussion is on.
The doctors, a number of whom
have been interviewed, think it not
only presumptious but dangerous for
1he ministers to take up the busi-
hess of body healing, and they do not
hesitate publicly to say so.
1t is a thing the church has no
business fooling with" says one
prominent physician. Il am bitter
ly opposed to this movement, and l
think it should be taken up imme-
diately by the people and crushed

The Dawson news., 1909-01-27
Declare 1t Dangerous.

Others declare it a very danger
Gus movement and assert that the
treatment, of disease is a thing the
church should have nothing to do
with.
The movement had its origin early
last week when following a presen-
tatiOn of the subject by DR.. Len G.
BrOughton the Baptist ministers de-
cIded to take up psychological meth
DDS for the purpose of assisting men,
bers of their congregations in getting
rid of certain bodily ills which they
believe are more or less mentally
superinduced, and which cannot be
readily reached by medicines.
The idea of the ministers, accord
ing to one of them, is rather to sup
plement than interfere with the work
of regular physicians.
DIR. BrOughtOn's Experience.
In his discussion of the subject
DR.. BrOughton gave an example
which came to his attention years
ago when he was practicing medicine.
The malady failed to yield to or
dinary remedies, and Dr.. Broughtou
then sought to convince the patient
that he did not have any disease at
all, the result of which was, through
operation of the mind, convalescence
and ultimate recovery
DR.. ]. M. Crawford, one of the
physicians who discusses the subject,
says DR.. BroughtOn ought to have
been prosecuted for this, because if
the diagnosis was right in the first
place the tendency of his action was
to delude the patient into the belief
that he was beyond danger, which
might have resulted through neglect
of treatment in an incurable condi-
tiOn.

summer was run several weeks ago and took a number of the valley pco-
 pie to the cool hills for a stay of a couple of days. The success of the
 first excursion and the great convent
 ence which such opportunities for an outing furnish the people of the val
 ley is the reason for d continuation of
 tFc policy of running excursions to the high elevations at q popular price.
 The excursions will take place on Sat
 urday and Sunday, August II and E. The rate tD Prescott or Iron Springs will be S3.50. The return limit may be extended to August 24, by deposit
 ing the ticket and fifty cents in the Prescott office. Owing to the great number of Phoenix people who are al- ready in the mountain resorts many will take advantage of the opportunity to visit with their friends for a weel. or ten days at the popular price.
 Another feature which will induce many people to take the trip is the fact that on the 18th of August there will be an excursion from Prescott to Crown King at a rate of S1.jO. The Crown King line runs through the Bradshaw mountains and was one of the most difficult railroads to build. The grades encountered were such as to make q switchback the only prac- tical way of mounting them. The trip is one of the most unique in the country as resort to the switchbac6 is rarely necessary and there are few people who have ever travelled over one. Beside the peculiar engineering of the road it runs through the | toughest of mountain scenery.
