BUSINESS REVIVAL
 ON SOUND BASIS

BOSTON Oct. 12.-There Is no es- caping the fact that the revival In business has developed into broad movement based upon sound domes tie demand, which gives every inc dication Of expanding and broadening in the months to come. All indices attest this
 For instance. bank clearings for September throughout the United States were the largest on record, nearly 60 per cent. larger than a year ago. when the stock exchanges were closed and business and finance were paraiyzed
 Again, the Steel Corporations m- filled tonnage in tho face of record breaking production and rapidly ad- vancing prices showed a sensational increase of over 100000 tons bring. ing the aggregate unfnled orders to the highest point since the end Of 1913. It is authoratively estimated that October will show as heavy, ii not a heavier increase, notwithstand. ing the further marking up of quota tions.
 Practically every center in the west with the possible exception of the northwestern lumber districts, reports widespread prosperity, and 1t is hard to see how it could be otherwise in view of the prospects of the biggest grain crop ever harvested and the lar gest corn yield with but on exception.
 The unparalleled profits accruine to the metal industries show no signs of lessening. And the crops that must feed the world with their bountiful yield are almost a reality
 An of these factors are tangible Grouped with the outstanding and pronounced case in money 1t is diff cult to forecast other than Q long era of prosperity that may lead to infla ton Boston News Bureau)

WIRELESS TOWERS
 NO LoNesR NEEDED

f's---
 SAN FRANCISCO-A wireless tele- graphy instrument, recently invented which eliminates the construction Of the present towering steel structures for sending and receiving wireless messages by simply projecting 9 wire along the ground for a short distance was announced here today by R. B.. Woolverton, United States radio inc spector. In collaboration with Palmer B. Hewitt, Of Holster CaliG. Mr. Wol- verton has been experimenting for months with the new apparatus
 According to its discoverers, the new method has proved eminently successful in receiving messages from Honolulu. sayville. Arlington Va. and other distant stations An absolute freedom from static conditions has been achieved in the reception of mes sages, but lesser success has been ob- talned in transmitting messages.
 So far only a single wire 300 feet long stretched along the ground has been used in receiving messages. but experiments with ground antennas are in progress. The experimenters as- sert their Invention will entirely do away with wireless towers.-( (Tacoma Ledger)

MADE ILL BY
Her UNCANNY POWER
"Witch's' Husband Joins
Three Bedidden Sons.

Gloyersville, N. Y.-John Bennett,
aged, gaunt, helpless, husband of the
mysterious woman who was known as
the witch of the Adirondacks," lies
i'll of rheumatism in his isolated home
ut Hope, In wooded and mountainous
Hamilton county. There. too, are his
three sons, George, thirty-six years,
who has been in bed twelve years.
Ward, thirty-two, who has not risen
from his pillow for fourteen years, and
Wank, thirty. who has been bedridden
for ten years.
The mother Of this unfortunate trio,
Mrs. Sarah Bennett, sixty years old, is
In the State Asylum For the Insane at
Utica. She was committed by Judge
Wank Talbot Of this place in May,
|1914. While she dwelt in her lonely
abode at Hope-so i'll named for her
and her family-she exercised an I'M
canny influence yer her three sons.
Whether it was mesmerism or hyp-
Observation-Disclosures was her power over
them-they shrank and shivered before
q glance from her gloomy. deep set
eyes. She declared they were i'll. that
they must remain in bed, and there
they stayed, year in and year out, their
wills completely s%ubseryient to hers.
Their minds became weakened, their
bodies atrophied from lack Of exercise.
They are really i'll today, although the
farmers whose homes are scattered
Whereabouts remember them as strap
ping youths. Frank, the youngest, is
in the worst condition, ~paralyzed from
the waist down. Ellis brothers have
had their beds moved nearer his that
they may help him a little. While their
mother lived with them she kept them
secluded. yet she gave them care; the
Humane society could not aid them;
the authorities could not touch them.
Their father earned a scanty living
from the unwilling soil. but 1t suficed.
Old man Bennett was himself sus-
reptible to his Wife's strange influence,
but when she sought to exercise her
power on him he fed and hid In the
woods. DR.. d. r. Hagadorn is attend
