MISGUIDED SEWARD BOOMERS.

It is a matter of regret that misguided parties in Seward originating and spreading broadcast throughout the country false pertaining to conditions at Anchorage They do seem realize that what is published cr knock Anchorage also reflects upon the entire rail- road project The ice conditions at Anchorage fully to all concerned and published in the original railroad report of the commission appointed by President Taft early in 1913 The conditions were understood by the constituted and the secretary of the interior probably knows about the subject than of these parties in Seward whose desire to advance the price of town lots leads them to a serious
 The conditions fully described in early articles appearing in Railway Marine News and briefly repeating same it authorativey be said that Anchorage being miles the coal fields than Seward and for steamships during the spring, and early fal that point bound be the strategic construction headquarters it undoubtedly will be the summer loading point for the Mata nka coal simply because the utilization of that port will the long rail haul to Seward including two heavy grades the souhbod haul Why these parties cannot be shown the of their ways is mystery.
 It is true that the booming of town lots false nfaton at any railroad terminal great mistake CordoVa has 200 miles of railroad which is doing recordbreakng copper and that has settled down to existence with steady payroll and gradual increase in it's business, but booming at the present time On the other hand both Seward and Anchorage during the construction period will be bustng cncident with such construction but the that construct on period is and the of aborers and hangeron each town will have to settle down to an existence exactly in keeping with the industrial payroll and op eratons then permanently established,
 The indes advice to the investor would be not to buy lots speculation at point along the proposed railroad in Alaska, unless personal investigation shall be made At the present time the best opportunities for investment locations not yet announced that to the future at ChckaoOn Mines and at the future town in the Broad Pass district simply because the former will have

POOR MAIL SERVICE IN ALASKA.

The policy trying to put the postal service of the United States paying basis at the cost of efficiency that service will likely receive attention in the session of Con- gress There widespread discomfort in the cities and over the introduction shorghed economies into the rage and distribution of the mails The rural free delivery system has been greatly impaired by parsmoniOus admnsra Starting the theory that primarily the posoice department should be made to pay instead of nung in adhesion to the long accepted and gradually ap proved doctrine that first and ast the business of the post office is convenience and accommodate the public the suits management of that great ns tuition could not well have been other than they
 When all sad however, the people of the United States far better off with respect to mail service than the people of the territory of Alaska We have 1t authority that can trusted that far postal accommodation is the people Alaska for about tWotds of have under the to boast of the o the which they allegiance From the time navigation stops in September until the accumulated mail arrives late in

 Whatever be the real cause of the failure of the United States government with its vast to transport the mails regularly Alaska and to distribute them promptly throughout that territory it is certainly not due to any desire the part of the people of the United States to have the postal service make favorable financial showing at the end of the fiscal year That rae not the first consideration The first consideration that all people under the Stripes everywhere shall have the best mail vice possible, whatever the expense.

THE LITTLE WHITE VICTIM.

We really should be thankful that
we live in these enlightened times,
when our lives cannot easily be sworn
away in the courts, when medical men
know something of medicine, and
hanging judges" are few and far be-
tween. A few weeks ago some merry
picnickers I'm western town refreshed
themselves with ice cream, and short
ly afterwards they were tying them
selves in sailors knots, and several
narrowly escaped death. The learned
physicians who were summoned said
that ptomaine poisoning was response
BILE, and nobody was hanged.
Had that occurred a hundred years
ago, the doctors would have said that
arsenic was the cause of the calamity
and the officers of the law would have
gone hunting for the poisoner; then
woe betide anybody who was known
to have grudge against any of the
sufferers! How many innocent people,
accused of poisoning, have been le-
gally butchered will never be known
until the roll is called up yonder, but

question has a strong booster in this
gentleman, who has been practicing
what he breaches for many years past.
Each year he has been in the habit of
feeding u bunch of purehred baby
beeves for the summer market, and
each time has been successful in get
ting out on the venture. At his farm
he maintains drove of Hereford cat
tie and aside from the regular breed
ing business, he raises a drove of steers
for the killers each year.
Many feeders think that purebreds
are for breeding and most anything
will do for the killers, but cases of
this sort argue well for cattle of good
blood to be finished for the market.
The feeder who recently made these
remarks is emphatic in saying that it
pays to raise purebreds for feeding
purposes, and his advice to young men
just getting into the livestock business
is TO get start on II purebred herd as
soon as possible. A good start short
ems the road to n successful ending in
business of this sort.

SAYS HYPN0TISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subsection.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to Cambridge (AIass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
Off log" The professor predicted u
great field in the future for the expert
In mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
do it on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thOughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. 1t is simply case OF
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only slight hypnosis
Is necessary to effect cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, Is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science of dag
nOsis has been carried into the field
Of experiment. PsychO-analysis has u
great future"

went ahead. Perhaps she was nerv.
Gus perhaps she forgot to put in some
necessary ingredients; however that
may be, the dumplings were dismal
failure. They were fiat and heavy ana
of color, and Elizabeth. who was heart
broken over It, wanted to throw them
into the alley, or give thcn , the de-
serving poor, but Mrs. Turner didn't
like to see anything go to waste, so
she had them served up.
The members of the fdmily ate some
steak and potatoes ani then tackled
the dumplings. After .nting small
portion, old Mr.. Turner reared up and
yelled, aud bit piece out of the bao&
of his chair and then began rolling
around on the floor. Then Robert
Gregson Turner gave a good imitation
of "A contortionist: and presently Mrs.
Turner and the clerks did some ground
and lofty tumbling. Outrageous and
apothecaries were summoned, and OF
course, they decided that the family
had been poisoned with Arsenic. And
who but Elizabeth fleming could have
administered the poison? Her guilt
was manifest. So Elizabeth went to
Jail.
A great mass of evidence was in
troduced by the prosecution at the
trial, and all of IL was so trifling as
to be absurd. Great stress, for in
stance, was laid upon the fact that
Elizabeth had reppntpdly asked ner.
mission to make apple dumplings. This
was considered conclusive proof that
she had contemplated the crime Il Iona
time. It didn't occur to anybody that
dumpllngs were not necessary to the
administering of arsenic. Had shs
been anxious to poison the Turner'S
she had opportunities every day.
Mrs. Turner testified at great length,
and in every sentence showed her
hatred of the girl. She testified that
there had been paper of arsenic I'm
the drawer of the kitchen table, and
when she recovered from her sickness
she looked for the paper, but It was
gone. This made deep impression
their minds, to the exclusion of the
story of one of the clerks, who swore
that the package of arsenic had been
missing before Elizabeth went to work
for the Turnere. 1t was taken for
granted that srsenic had been used,
because an ign0fant doctor and more
| ignorant druggist said so. In after
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1916-10-06

years an eminent British scientist
wrote a paper on this case, and DEM
onstrated conclusively that the Turn
ers were not poisoned with arsenic,
whatever caused their sufferings. None
of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning
was present.
All evidence against the girl was
freely admitted, but whenever a wit
ness for the defense was on the stand,
his evidence was ruled out on one
pretext or another, and the unfortunate
girl was found guilty and sentenced
to death. Had she been convicted of
making bad dumplings and fined five
shillings that would be no cause for
complaint. but the girl really was
hanged for making poor dumplings.
Nobody outside the courtroom and the
Turner family ever believed she was
n pOisoner.
Nothing could be more pitiful than
the fate of Elizabeth Fennlng. Such
determined efforts were being made in
that IL seemed almost certain her SEN
tence would be committed. But all
the efforts failed, and on the morning
of July 26, 1915, she was told to pre-
pare herself for translation. She came
from her cell wearing white muslin
dress and a snowy cap. Her pretty,
gentle face was untrOubled, her eyes
undismayed. Hardened criminals and
men accustomed TO horrible scenes had
tears on their checks while the execu-
toner bound Der hands. A distin-
guished citizen of London, who had
worked night and day to save her,
stepped up to her, sobbing, and said :
"Tell me, Elizabeth, In the name of
God, that you are innocent"
''In the name of God, then, I am
innocent" replied the girl, and they
were her last words. She died at the
age of twenty-onc, and no galows was
ever put to more barbarOus use.
Next day, ana for several days there.
after crowds collected In the street
where the Turner's lived, and bombard
| ed the house with rocks, and It was
a long time before any of the Turner'S
could appear in public with safety
Elizabeth's parents had bankruptet
themselves trying TO secure justice fol-
her and a fund was raised for theil
relief. and the fact that money fol
that fund came from all over Europe
shows how intense was the indignation
over the murder OF this unfortunate
girl.
