Buried alive! That was the awe scene witnessed by 300 people who had assembled at the park, yesterday afternoon, and who had come on pleasure bent. It was not occasion to create merriment and many of the spectators shuddered with horror as they saw a young man in the full possession of liis faculties, one to whom life was as dear as to any of the spectators, descend into his grave, voluntarily lie down into a coffin and pass from consciousness to a state resemb- death itself. Morbid curiosity had attracted the spectators, but even the stoutest heart faltered as the-grave diggers commenced to shovel in upon the plain pine box the excavated earth and all realized for a certainty that Wyatt lay six feet below the earth in a hypnotized state. For thirty-three hours the young man will lie in the narrow charnel house without food, without water and connected with the living world above only by means of a wooden pipe through which he receives fresh air. The feat of remaining in a hypnotized condition in a grave for thirty-three hours seems increditable but such is the facts in this case at least.

The burial was made at 3:30 yesterday afternoon and was witnessed by a large assemblage of persons of which a large number were ladies. The grave had been previously dxig and a hugh coffin box lowered to the bottom. A horse blanket was spread inside the box and Prof. Wyatt descended and reclined therein. His brother, who is a mesmerist, also descended and with a few passes induced a powerful hypnotic sleep which will last till tonight.

The lid of the coffin- box was replaced and a square wooden pipe adjusted to an aperture in the top of the box directly over the face of the sleeper. The pipe extends about three feet above ground and gives Prof. Wyatt fresh air from above, and spectators a means of looking down onto what has every appearance of being a dead man's countenance. Yester- clay afternoon as the pipe was being- adjusted, the crowd pressed too near the open grave and a large quantity of gravel was dislodged and fell onto Wyatt's face, making it necessary to open the box and awaken the sleeper. The second attempt was successful, and in thirty minutes Wyatt lay under six feet of gravel, rocks and soil.

Before closing the coffin box especial attention was called to the position in which the young man was lying and the position of his arms which were crossed, it being said that he would be found in the identical posture this evening, thereby proving that the sleep was genuine. A small iron pipe at the foot of the box extending above the ground, facilitates the circulation of fresh air and prevents the suffocation of the interred man. A watch is constantly kept and today many people viewed the living mains. Some people might think and with grounds, that the hypnotic sleep was a fake and that food and water could be passed down the pipe to the imprisoned man, but so far a strict watch has been kept and nothing irregular has been noted. Shortly after eight o'clock this evening Prof.

Wyatt will be restored to consciousness. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE OUBBD By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of Ihe ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the neons lining of tbe Euatachlan Tube. When this tube geta inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless tbe inflammation oan be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in- named condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care. Send for circulars, free. P. CHENEY Toledo, O. fold by drucgists, 75c.

Lathrop C. Stow, mayor of Grand Rapids, writes Mayor McKee as "I have just learned that the Evening Press Newsboy band of our city has planned an extensive concert tour, and that Logansport is included in the list of fortunate cities to be visited. I desire to say iu this connection that this band made up of thirty-six newsboys taken from the streets of Grand Rapids, has come to be an instilu- tion of which our citizens are very proud. "The work that the Evening Press has done in the interests of our dependent newsboys has borne splendid fruit, and the result is plainly noticeable from the improved condition of the 1200 newsboys who are cared for by the Press. I do not believe that the world can show a charitable work productive of so much good as that, carried forward by our courageous little evening paper, and as a citizen of Grand Rapids and a friend of our dependent younorsters, I am naturally desirous of seeing their efforts succeed."
