ORDERS TO THE AUToMATA

When our esteemed contemporary fhe, Standard, told it's readers that Mayor Lee should be given an oppor- hunfty to @do more along the same 1ine'. the statement was undoubtedly Interpreted as practically an order from the local machine to the Repub- 1ican. privates, the automata of the party, to renominate the Mayor. Indi- Eations are that with their usual lack of personal opinion and their usual lear Of punishment if disobendient, the a1tomata will obey the order.
 when our esteemed contemporary the Post, asserted the Republicans Fare bound to support the present ad- aninistration and rise fall on it's mer- its,', the statement was undoubtedly Interpreted by the automata as a con- firmation of the, original order of the machine though the Standard and also as determining, in advance of the convention, the issue upon which the party's campaign is to be based viz, approval of the harbor line and car barn surrenders in particular, and the Lee administration in general This too, although an unpalatable and even 1auseating dose to many of the automata, has undoubtedly been ,swa1- lowed by them, and they will march to the polls on Nov. 2 and carry the machine orders into effect as unfalt- cring1yS as well fabricated automata obey the directing levers of their in ternal machinery.
 When our esteemed contemporary, the Post, declared on Thursday that "tl1e regulara& well-oiled, full pocket Republican machine is for Lee, and for Lee it will stay,'' it may have been Expressing it's own opinion, but to the Rutomata it was an order that Morris and Arnold. be dropped on pain of the machines lasting displeasure, and a warning that campaign funds will. be distributed only to the Lee faction, with incidentally an allusion to a plen- titude of such funds for. the faithful
 And so we find. that complete ar arrangements for the campaign have been made by the machine, and the automata fully directed as. to what they shall do and what they shah not do. They have been ordered to re- nominate Lee, to endorse his policy

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Prof- Hugo Muensterberg, instructor of psy- choiogy at Harvard. takes issue with Bishop F'allows. J. D. Quackenboss, and his fellow instructor, William James. all sponsors of mental tele- pathy He says that after years of studying every phase of the subject he is assured that such a phenomenon does not exist. -z<
 Mental telepathy is an utter impos- sibility, he declares. owing to the un- likelihood of any two minds being so finely attuned as to vibrade in unison at every phase of thought. Asked re- garding hypnotism, Prof, Muenster- berg said:
 .I have placed over 200. subjects un- der hypnotic Spell and have never used the same method with any two alike. A variety of mental diseases, including a craving for stimulants, have beer cured in this fashion It is utterly absurd to declare, however, that bodily ills can be permanently cured by hypnotism. The pain may be alleviated, but the disease still re- mainS.''

THE STOCK MARKET
Watson. Alpers & Col

The foreign political situation and the action of money lenders are the elements that still exist as restraints upon the resumption of sustained upward movement. In the absence of unfavorable developments in these di- rections, the improvement should go further and if these phases shoud d turn a positive gratifying side to specua- tion. the prospects, would favor this improvement reaching important di- mansions. While, therefore, conserva- tism is not out of place. the purchase of stocks on reactions of moderate de- grees appears to us the profitable pol icy to pursue.

tried at the next term of state circuit
court in this (Gregory) county. It is
that OF the state VS.. Mrs. Tickle, a well
known resident of Dallas. The action
involves the sum of $50, and will be as
molly contested as though the stakes
We're 100000. Mrs. Tickle is charged
with grand larceny as the result of her
alleged refusal to surrender to a man
named McMasters the sum of $50
which Mrs. Tickle is said to have found
on h streets of Dallas during a cele-
bration on July 3 of last year. McMas-
tiers claims the money is his, and al

render it to him, hence the action was
instituted against her on the charge of
grand larceny, which is a penitentiary
offense. Mrs. Fickle has engaged at
torneys to fight the case.
