YOUTH LIES
ASLEEP IN
SELF-HYPN0S|S
PROFESSOR COULD NOT BE
HEARD OVER PHONE
YET MAGNETISM :
WORKS
Young Man Goes Into Mesmer
ic Sleep Before Crowd Via
Voice Through Phont.

rs the young man, lying in
an apparent deep sleep, in the
floughton window on north
Michigan street, subject Of self
hypnosis, was his sleep induced
by a post-hynotic suggestion, or
is he hypnotised at ALL are
questions Plymouth residents
who witnessed the exhibition last
evening, are asking themselves.
AS advertised, a young man
was put to sleep, by the sugges-
ton over telephone of Prof. Gil
pin, who was located at Mich
igan City. He now lies in the
show window of the empty Nets
ker room on north Michigan
street, where after a sleep of
fifty hours he will be awakened
by the professor, when the hyp-
notism show comes to town,
Thursday evening.
The crowd which gathered in
front of the window, where the
exhibition was made1 last even
ing, saw a young man, apparent
ly eighteen years of age, of slight
stature, and unhealthy looking,
enter the window, in company
with another member of the
company. a desk telephone had
been installed in the window and
over this, the assistant called
Michigan City, and got Prof.
Gllpin on the line. The lad took
the phone, while seated on the
edge OF a cot in the window, and
was heard to say, Hello Mr..
Gilpin, Yes, hear you all
right, Yes---Yes, etc., getting
weaker all OF the time, until he
suddenly droppe the receiverand
fell upon the cot asleep. The ais
sistant arranged the subject, and
well he is there yet. The only
hitcsl in the proceedings was
the fact that Gilpin could not be
understood by the assistant, or
by the local central. The stunt
was pulled off, Immediately after
the heavy storm last evening,
and the long distance lines were
extremely noisy. Others who
listened on the line, say that
Gilpin could not be heard, and
not possibly understood. Any
way the lad went to sleep.
The operation could be easily
explained by the theory of post
hypnotic suggestion. 1t is a well
know theory OF hypnotism, that
suggestions given them while
hynotiSed, almost any length
of Stme after shey have been
awakened. This the subject
While hynotised might have been
told. that at $50 o'clock, on
Tuesday night of this week, he
would go into a long sleep
which would last, until broken
by the operator. Thesuwggestion
by voice over the phone, would
be all that is needed to effect
the result, caused by the post
suggestion.

WEEDS NOT
CUT ALONG
THE ROADS
GROWTH is so HIGH IN
MANY PLACES THAT
THEY HIDE THE
FENCES
Law Requiring Obnoxious
Weeds to Be Destroyed
Is Disobeyed in Many
Instances

Many of the country roads
throughout Marshall and sur
rounding counties are reported
as being in bad condition because
OF weeds. Persons who travel
the roads say that in many sec
tons the weeds along the roads
for miles are SO high that they
hide the fences and no one seems
to pay any attention to them.
They say that many roads Off
Gals neglect to comply with tine
the attention of public officials
laws which require the cutting
wed, In some instance when
was called to the growth of weed
they sought to shift the response
bility for the condition to each
other. with the result that none
did anything to bring relief.
Weed cutting along public
highways is regulated by statue.
The subject is covered by, Sec i.
tions 1907, 1908 and 1909 of
Burns Revised Statutes. 1905,
which are as follows:
1907. That all land owners
through or along whose lands

thistles, burrs, docks and other
obnoxious weeds growing along
said highway and contiguous to
their lands, to be cut down and
destroyed FOR the length and dis
tances the said highway shall ex-
tend along or through their lands
"7S0S. Any land owner along
or through whose lands public
highways are laid out and ex-
tended, who shall, in compliance
with Section l of this act, cut
down and destroy for the length
and distance said highway shall
extent along or through his lan1s
all briars, thistles, burrs, docks
and other noxious weeds grow
ing along said highway, shall
be allowed for such work or ser
vice the sum of one dollar and
twenty-five cents a day, eight
hours to constitute a day, and
proportfonate thereto: the work
to be done under the direction of
the supervisor in charge of said
road district, and to be credited
upon his road taxes as other
work is credited.
"sS09. That any such land
owner who neglect or refuse
after the said goth day of August
each year, to comply with the
eil':s',clts Lecified IL first sec
ton OF this act, the supervisor
in charge of said road district
shall thereby be empowered to
secure the services of any resi-
dent property owner of said road
district to cut down and destroy
such briars, thistles, burrs and
docks and other noNious weeds,
said resident property owner to
y a. Nef for sch W. or ser
vice the sum of $1.25 a day,
eight hours to constitute a day
and proportfonate thereto, and he
to be credited upon his road tax

1t is said that on many OF the
roads in Marshall county there
has been no cutting of weeds
during the entire summer, in
| spite of the above provisions OF
] the law.

in Electra that at has a cyclonic
sweep and power, demoniacal intsn-
sity, which are we'll nigh unbearable
in their assault upon tile nerves. From
the abrupt and sinister opening to the
wildly triumphant close the grip of
the music scarcely relaxes for a mo-
ment.''
Among the remarkable musical pas
sages of the score are those express
sive of the interview between Electra
and her mother, that In which the sis
tiers mourn the death OF Orestes, that
in which Electra lights Aegisthus to
his doom and the recognition scene
between Electra and her brother.
Electra in Greek mythology Is
the daughter OF Agamemnon, King
of Argos and Mycenae and OF
Clytemnestra. After the murder of
