Well, what then are the uses of Hyp notism? "Hypnotism may be used as it thera- pcutis agent for the purpose of curing a thousand ills; it may be used as an anaesthetic; it may be used as a sop orific; it may bo used, as 1 have abundantly demonstrated, as a corrective of bad habits; it may be used as aueui- enegogue; it may le used as a stimulus to those who are slow and dull their in their studies at school' it may be used lot the purpose of improving the memory, and for many other benellent purposes. Who are suseeptiblo to tho hypnotic inlluenceV "All people who honestly place them selves in the proper condition by obeying the injunctions of the operator, may avail themselves of the almost unlimited benefits of this most wonderful, and at the same time most benign science." 1 see you are to give an exhibition of your hypnotic ability in the Opera House in this city Wednesday evening I wish to ask if you will demonstrate the various phases of the science publicly? Most assuredly I BhalL A can see no good reason winy the public should not havo alUhe means possible to be come familiar with the utility of the science."

The army will be taken to Topeka for trial for obstruc ting United States mails, The men are good natured, and the government officials do not ex pect further trouble. This is how it happened: The special train arrived at Scott City at 5 o'clock and found a gang of men busily engaged in repairing the track. It took about forty minutes to complete the work, bnt before the train was ready to pnll out General Saun ders' train was seen approaching in the distance.

It had gone back to Modoc to allow the westbound mail train to pass. Marshal Neeley stationed his deputies about the special train, and he and General Attorney Wag-gener walked westward to the Bwitcy'' to meet the commonweal's; ers. The stolen train stopped at the switch and General Saunders alighted from the engine and walked rapidly toward the depot, accompanied by a half a dozen of his men. He was intercepted by Marshal Neeley and Mr. Waggen-er, who stated to him their mission.

Mr. Waggener, having been sworn in as a deputy, read the writs to the general, who desired thirty minutes to confer with his officers. The request was granted and both sides withdrew to their respective trains. At the expiration of thirty minutes General Saunders appeared at the door of Superintendent Clark's special car, where he announced he would turn over the train to. the company and surrender the army to the authority of the government.

Drawing Our Pay. "At the proper time" says the Governor "we will ncte whether the commissioners pay him," having reference to the publication of the final tax notice. To be sure, Papa Kskridgc, that is one of the things we are here for; that is our part of the job the contract did not specify whether the commissioners would bring it to us or we were to go after it, but we don't propose to quibble over small technicalities we'll go after it. But come now, dady, 'aint that what is hurting you so badly? Eskridge Continues to Whine. Rats, Kskritlge, you talk like a kid! You know very well it isn't the duty of Tidings to go to the county officials for copy.

The law plainly says the Treasurer must causk said notice to be published at a certain date. Thats what he is there for and thats what he is paid for. The law can't be tortured by Eskridge into any other construction: Lawmakers never contemplated that the newspaper men would know when Treasurers would have their work ready for printing; nor were they supposed to run after them for copy. We repeat they are paid for th.at work and should attend to it. If they don't they are alone responsible.

And as for the county footing any bills, why, dear Gov. thats a mistake. Don't worry for a moment in that direction. Neither will the bondsman of the Tidings. Now can you get through your befuddled brain who will.

Their battery was Brad ford and Varvcl and can be credit ed with a splendid 3 hours work J. M. Ilamme was hurt at first and retired from the game.

We are feeling rather, friendly tuday, and propose to let Eskridga off easy. He is all broken up over his defeat in the First ward fight and really isn't responsible.
