ices.

OF BESSIE STEWART.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.-From the dream
depths of weird cataleptic trance,
Bessie Stewart, daughter of a Missouri
farmer, utters prophecies and fortells
events so unerringly that all northeast
Missouri is amazed.
In the grip of these cataleptic stages
she describes death bed scenes in far
off cities hours before the wires bring
the news to relatives of the dead in the
neighborhood.
She is able to foretelI accidents days
and weeks before they befall those she
points out as future victims. When
she emerges from this trance state she
remembers nothing of what she has
said or done.
The family and friends of Miss
Stewart have known here to shut her
self up in a, darkened room and play
the most difficult piano selections
compositions that she had never seen
before and had never heard.
At other times she has submitted to
having herself blindfolded and has
read page after page Of books and col
umn after column of newspapers

UNITED AFTER
FIFTY YEARS

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 2o.--Fifty
years ago Peter Gannaw, 407 north
Seventh street, bid goodbye to mis-
brother, Dan Gannaw, at their old
home in eastern Canada.
This week, for the first time in the
half century that has interviewed, they
are united, Dan Gannaw having ar
a visit to his brother, Peter, from
whom he has been separated so many
years.
And OF course Dan didn't overlook
the opportunity of having his little
joke
Peter Gannaw was just about to
retire for the night when a knock
came at the door, and a stranger was
admitted, making inquiry for the head
upstairs and when he reached the
lower floor, the unknown caller was
seated in the parlor.
Dan at once made application for
a job as harvest hand. But Peter
Gannaw didn't have a place open, and
so informed the caller, stating that
he had all the men he needed at the
time, but that he would, If he came
around later, give him place.
That didn't close the interview,
however. The stranger began inquir-
;
dition of the country, the wages, ETC.,
and all this time Peter Gannaw want
ed to go to bed, and the questioning
of his caller didn't please him a bit.
and he so informed his interviewer.
And just about the time that Peter
had made up his mind to get rid of
the fellow some way or other, the
caller disclosed his identity as Dan
the brother whom he had not seen in
the half century that had elapsed
since they said goodbye at the old
farmstead in eastern Canada.
And many hours passed before Pet

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Transconti-
mental railways are facing a suspeu-
sion, by the interstate commerce COM
mission, of advances in freight rates
proposed recently. New rates, to be-
come effective Sept. 2 would increase
the transportation charges Of many
commodities from the Atlantic sea-
board to Pacific coast terminals. They
would make also some reductions to
intermountain destinations.
Vigorous protests are being received
from eastern manufacturers and ship
pers and from Pacific coast jobbers
and merchants. 1t appears likely that
many of the proposed increases will
be suspended pending a thorough in
quiry.
Generally the increase would be
made by the cancellation of existing
commodity rates thereby forcing the
commodities to take the higher class
rates.
