AN AMATEUR BAD MAN'S BAD
BREAK.
WOULD BLOW UP BUILDING
His Nitro-Glycerin Proves to Have
Been Only a Bottle of Colored
Water.
Omaha, Neb., March 11.—A bold at-
tempt was made yesterday to rob the
Merchants' National Bank at Thir-
teenth and Farnam Streets by a man
who, although at first believed to be
a desperate criminal, is now believed
by the police to be a lunatic.
The man gave his name as L. L.
Fee, formerly of Rockford, 111. He
walked into the bank and, menacing
Vice-President Drake with a bottle
which he said contained nitro-glycer-
in, demanded $5000 cash. Mt. Drake,
though believing for a moment that
his life and those of his fellow officials
and employes of the bank might be
in imminent danger, conferred care-
fully with the would-be robber until
other officials called the police and
the man was taken into custody. Tests
by the police seem to show that the
contents of the bottle were harmless.
At the police station the man said
he came from Rockford, 111., last Oc-
tober. Since then he has lived in
Omaha and has been out of work.
He is a plumber by trade, and, it is
said, has been drawing $5 a month
from the Plumbers' Union while out of
work. ; ,
Fee ackaowledged that he never was
in Kansas City, and that his story of
having money in a bank -in that city
was untrue. He said that he had read
in books of banks being robbed in
the manner he attempted, and that he
determined to try the scheme. He
insists that the bottle contained no
nitro-glycerin, but was really only wa-
ter with a little coloring material in
It. The police took the bottle to the
river bank and fired into it with a
rifle. The bottle was broken, but there
was no explosion.

Work of Midnight Assassins.
Paducah, Ky.: One hundred masked
riders rode into the town of Birming-
ham, Marshall County, Monday night,
shot six negroes, one of them, it Is
believed, fatally, and whipped five oth-
ers. Tfi§ riders took possession of
the town and fired into every negro
cabin in the place. la one of these,
John Scruggs was fatally hurt, and his
wife, three children and a granddaugh-
ter were struck by bullets.
Twenty-Six Doomed Men.
Birmingham, England: The long pe-
riod of anxiety and suspension over
the fate of the entombed miners at
Hamstead colliery came to a head
Tuesday night for the crowds waiting
at the month of the pit, when it was
announced that there was no possi-
bility of any of the men being taken
out alive. Fire broke out in the col-
liery on last Wednesday morning,

New York: Stockholders of the
United States Steel Corporation, it was
announced recently, have reached the

of the stock books in the last nine
months and the increase in the num-
ber of stockholders since last summer
has been larger than In any similar

THE YHAYER CASE REMANDED.
No Difference Between Personal and
Written Solicitation.
Washington, March 10. — The Su-
preme Court yesterday reversed and
remanded the case of the United
States, plaintiff in error, against Ed-
ward S. Thayer. Thayer was indicted
for violation of the civil service act in
naving solicited a contribution to the
Republican campaign fund from post-
office employes in Dallas, Texas. A
demurrer to the indictment was sus-
tained by Judge Meek on the ground
that as Thayer had asked for the con-
tribution by means of letters it was
not actual solicitation within the mean-
ing of the act
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
rendered by Justice Holmes, emphat-
ically disagrees with this view. "It
appears to us no more open to doubt,"
the Court says, "than that the statute
prohibits solicitations by written as
well as by spoken word. It is not,
even primarily to save employes from
interruption and annoyance in their
business. It is to check a political
abuse, which is not different in kind,
whether practiced by letter or word
of mouth. We can see no distinction
between the delivery of a letter and
sending it by a servant of the writer."
"ALL'S WELL" WITH FLEET.
Remarkable Wireiess Message Re-
ceived at Pensacola.
Washington, March 10.—About the
last place that the Navy Department
expected to hear from the Atlantic
fleet for at least six months was on
the Atlantic Coast, yet this is what
has happened. The Navy Department
yesterday received a telegraphis mes-
sage from its wireless station at Pen-
sacola, which had been in direct com-
munication with the battleship fleet,
a most remarkable performance, con-
sidering that the wireless message was
obliged to traverse the Gulf of Mexi-
ico, then cross overland the State of
Texas, part of Mexico, and again trav-
erse several hundred miles of ocean.
This particular message was from
Rear Admiral Thomas, In command of
the second division, and was as fol-
lows:
"Have you any important news from
home?"
An additional dispatch received by
Pensacola from Admiral Thomas dat-
ed on board the Minnesota at 8 o'clock
Sunday night, was as follows:
"The position Cf the fleet at this
moment is latitude 14.37 north, longi-
tude 102.01 west"
Went After Bank, but Failed.
Texarkana: The Bank of Horatio
at Horatio, Ark., fifty miles north of
here on the Kansas City Southern
Railroad, waa entered Sunday night
by burglars who dynamited the vault
and partially wrecked the safe, but
failed to reach the money. The dam-
age to the vault and safe is about
|500, covered by insurance. The ban-
dits, secured nothing of value except
$40 in pennies, which had been left
out of the safe. There is no clue.
Wheat, Corn and Oata.
Washington: The quantity of wheat
in farmers' hands on March 1 was 23.5
per cent, equivalent to 148,721,000
bushels of last year's crop, compared
with 28.1 per cent, or 206,644,000 bush-
els of tie 1906 crop on hand March 1,
1907. The quantities of corn and oats
on the same d%te follow: Corn (esti-
mated), 37.1 per cent 962,429,000 bush-
els of last year's growth; oats (esti-
mated, 35.5 per cent, 267,476,000 busn*
els, of last year's growth.
No Ons Personally Blamed.
Cleveland, Ohio.: In a storm of
snow and sleet, Collin wood Monday
went on burying the victims of the
Lakeview School fire of Wednesday
last Seventy funerals were conduct-
ed. At there were not enough
hearses, street oars were pressed into
service to carry the dead to the ceme-
teries. "We hold no one responsible,
for the lire and its attendant loss of
life," is said to be the Collinwood
School Board's decision.
Returns from the Hamilton County

Fire Monday damaged the drug store
of J. R. Magee, the wholesale drug
bouse of the Western Drug Company,
and the Rogers rooming house at Ab-
ilene. The drug stock will prove al-
most a total loss.
Sunday night a fire at Karnes City
destroyed Tobin Brothers' general

WHENCE THE PREJUDICE?
□
Prejudice, a child of ignorance, is
ever the opponent of progress. Many
will see and yet deny the evidence of
facts, because they are saturated with
the belief of the infallibility of their
own judgment. They close their eyes
systematically to truths which do not
adapt themselves to their precon-
ceived ideas.
One thing, probably, more than any
other which has led to unfavorable
opinions of "hypnotism," has been the
demonstrations as given by stage hyp-
notists. The placing of a subject for
a number of hours asleep in a public
window, strikes the masses as some-
thing marvelous and thereby creates
fear and wonderment. One serious ob-
jection to all performances of this
character is that wrong impressions
and false ideas arfe engendered there-
by.
But let us reason together. Should
we proscribe a thing we know to be
efficacious because the abuse of it is
injurious? Again let us reason to-
gether. Is hypnotism put to pervert-
ed use more frequently than other
sciences in which the artful take un-
fair advantage of their too credulous
victims?
Hypnotism should be a part of every
medical student's training, and not
left to the ignorant quack and char-
latan. There is nothing to be feared
in the thing itself, but it is in the
insufficient technical knowledge of the
operator that the danger lies.
Then again there is much preju-
dice in consequence of the general
opinion that prevails; viz., that only
the weak, sickly, nervous, hysterical
persons can be hypnotized. This en-
tirely wrong supposition is based eith-
er Hipon imperfect observation, or
upon a narrow field of -experimenta-
tion.
Erroneous Impressions.
It is an error to suppose that one
under hypnotic control will the more
readily yield to either criminal or
immoral suJEeestum Jwtt the reverse
is true. It is impossible for an opera-
tor to impress a suggestion so strong-
ly upon a subject as to cause him to
perform an act in violation of the set-
tled principles of his life. The more
repulsive a suggestion is to the hyp-
notee the stronger his resistance. .
The man of true dignity of soul
keeps his dignity intact, and one of
real kindness of nature shows no
trace of harsh feeling. A truly tem-
perate man, when under hypnotic
control, cannot be made to simulate
or yield to drunkennes; nor can a
truly modest person be induced to do
that which, in waking hours, would
savor of immodesty.
A virtuous woman, is, indeed, in less
danger of assault while in the hyp-
notic state than she is in her normal
condition; for the simple reason that
hypnotic subjects are always endowed
with a physical strength far superior
to that possessed in the normal condi-
tion. Besides, the moral tone of the
hypnotic subject while in that condi-
tion is always elevated.
As the subjective mind never sleeps,
and as its first law is self preserva-
tion of the individual, and as it is
more alert when the objective mind
is in abeyance, and as it is in com-
plete telepathic communication with
the operator, I hold that the latter
cannot even think an impure thought
without the knowledge of the sub-
ject
A natural criminal may be made to
do a criminal act when under the con-
trol of hypnotic suggestion, or at a
stated time by sub-hypnotic sugges-
tion, but the same suggestion, no mat-
ter how forcibly given, would have no j
such effect upon a man of real moral
worth. The criminal would commit
th* crime just as quickly and just as
readily, if not a little more so, when
in his normal condition.
Laboratory experiments (the paper
dagger act, etc.), count for nothing,
prove nothing, because some trace of
consciousness always remains to tell
the subject he is playing a part. When
he submits to be hypnotized he as-
sures himself that no possible harm
can befall htm; this ts an auto-sugges-
tion of self protection.
A suggestion that would imperil the
life of the subject (the hypnotee) if
carried into execution would be re-
sisted with an energy proportioned to
the degree and imminence of the peril
involved.
The Benefits of Hypnotism.
By properly directed suggestions,
the progress of perverted mental
activities may be arrested, evil habits
of thought can be radically changed,
and natural conditions of health re-
stored. The same results as obtained
in the natural, or self-induced sleep
of which I spoke in a previous ar-
ticle.
The subject should be placed in a
rcceptive condition; from this state
the objective senses are in abeyance
and the purposes are not so likeiy to
be thwarted by adverse autosuggea- '
tions.
Right here I wish to correct a very
general erroneous impression regard-
ing the breaking down or weakening
of one's will by hypnotism. There
Is no such thing as breaking down
the will of the subject. Hypnotic con-
trol is an agreement between the will
of the operator and the will of the
subject. It is not, therefore, the pow-
er of one will over another, but the
blending of two wills; the subject be-
ing passive; the operator, positive.
Therefore the operator does not work
against the will of the subject, but in
harmony with it. When both wills
are exercised to accomplish an ob-
ject there can be no resistance and
the results cannot be anything but
satisfactory.
Mental, moral and physical short-
comings, says Prof. John D. Quacken-
bos, are capable of elimination by hyp-
notic suggestion.
Better natures can be brought to
the surface, and conscious sensitive*-
ness substituted for moral anesthesia.
Young culprits can be redeemed, crim-
inal inclinations and desires removed,
and, above all, generations yet unborn
can be influenced for the better by
this means.
In every case where hypnotism is
used for the good of the one hyp-
notized, the will of the subject is
greatly strengthened. It enables one
to concentrate the mind upon any one
thought to the exclusion of all others;
it rouses latent impulse to a degree
and force of which the patient was
previously incapable. In the case of
an inveterate drunkard, who is anxious
to be cured of the habit, but has not
sufficient strength of mind to resist
the craving, hypnotic suggestion fur-
nishes him with a strengthened will
and a firm resolution that will tide
him over crises and eventually remove
the desire. •
The question is repeatedly asked:
"Does not oft repeated hypnotism
weaken the subject?"
It matters not how many times th ?
subject is brought under the influence
of the hypnotist, if the purpose is to
aid the subject mentally, morally or
physically. But when a subject is
used by a traveling stage hypnotist
night after night for public exhibition,
his will is greatly weakened instead of
strengthened, he almost loses his iden-
tity, and eventually becomes a mere'
automaton.
It is a well known fact that subjects
who have been long and continuously
employed on the stage for the pur-
poses of exhibition invariably become
nervous wrecks. It is with this class
of subjects that the evils of hypnot-
ism have been made manifest to tftb
general public. In fact, much of tne
popular prejudice against hypnotism
arises from witnessing stage exhibi-
tions of this character. There is no
need to debase a science for the mere
matter of amusement and money
making (or, rather, money getting),
when there are so many noble ave-
nues of usefulness open to it
The value of hypnotic suggestion in
surgery has been demonstrated by
th« profession in many notable in-
stances. It is not, by any means, as
popular as it should be, but this is
largely due to the fear of the sur-
geon that the patient might not re-
main under the influence during the
operation. There is no ground for
such fear under the hands of a skill-
ful operator.
There is no reaction, no shock,
when coming out from under hypnotic
influence. It may be given as an
anaesthetic, producing deep sleep and
unconsciousness; or, as in many
cases, the condition of analgesia is
preferable — inhibiting pain without
losing consciousness.
Black Magic or White Magic?
Black magic is the name frequently
applied to "hypnotism." It is often
referred to' as the work of the devil.
This insinuation is very facetiously
met by Dr. Burr of Chicago:
"And the Lord God caused a deep
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept; and he took one of his ribs
and closed up the flesh instead there-;
of."
"This was suggestive anaesthesia
for a surgical purpose. This makes
God the father of hypnotism, rather
than the devil.
"The satanic origin of this most
beneficent art has been attributed to
it too long already by the Ignorant
and superstitious, and needs no en-
couragement! Therefore repudiate
this enterprising practitioner in toto."
Necromancy is "black magic;" pure
occultism is white magic. The differ*
ence is as great as night is different
from day. One is of the dark; the
other is of the light. The same
force may be used for both. It is
white magic when it Is used for some
noble purpose and for the good of hu-
manity; but it may well be termed
"black magic" when used for evil pur-
poses. Magi is simply another name
for teacher or practitioner of magic:
"The inspired magi from the orient
came."
My concluding article will be a
summing up of more than 25 years'
experience and observation along the
lines of "hypnotism," "clairvoyance,"
"clairaudience," "impressions" and
"premonitions."
These will be assertive, positive, but
not dogmatic.

FARMERS' EDUCATIONAL
AND
CO-OPERATIVE UNION
OF AMERICA
I
A HEART TALK.
President Barrett Appeals to the
Hearts of Men.
Friends and Brethren:
We have just closed at Memphis the
greatest meeting the farmers of this
country have ever held.
In numbers, in enthusiasm and in
co-operative fellowship it surpassed all
the meetings that have gone before
and furnishes the most gratifying and
conclusive evidence that the Farmers'
Union is neither at a standstill nor a
sluggard in the progressive march of
the times.
From first to last the same harmo-
ny prevailed that has always charac-
terized the organization, and the plans
for the ensuing year were agreed upon
without dissent or division.
When we look backward and con-
template th6 steady and stately
achievements Of the past three years—
all that our great organization has
done and all that its splendid powers
make possible for the future—we may
well rejoice, and the spirit of amaze-
ment at the work may give place to
thankfulness for the grace that has
guided our efforts and the helpful har-
mony that has made them win.
There is absolutely no reason known
to men why the Farmers' "Union should
not become—if it is not already so—
the greatest business organization in
the world. We are marching now
sturdily and hopefully toward that
goal
We must inevitably mold the South,
the West and the North into an irre-
sistible and beneficent company that
will sway the nation for the nation's
good. In a great cause that is neither
selfish nor unprofitable we must help
ourselves, and in so doing help our
country to a larger and nobler plane qf
happiness and prosperity.
Who is there among us who doubts
our power or capacity to serve this
noble purpose in the history of our
times?
The things that we fight for are
laudable and logical things. The
claims that we make are reasonable
and righteous claims. The betterment
ws,seek must and surely will include
uxb betterment of our country and of
the people of every class. God
helps those who help tuemselves, and
we are best invoking the divine bless-
ing and sturdiest when we stand stur-
dy and steadfast for the measures and
the party which increase our character
and enlarge our prosperity.
Let me congratulate you once more
that, in the face of panics and amid
prices falling everywhere, we have
held steadfast the values of our farm
products and sustained cotton at the
rim of what we ask, even thougi the
bottom dropped from stocks and 'bad
securities. But for the banded strength
of 2,000,000 farmers, cotton would
have fallen from fts high estate to a
5 cent value. The world knows this
and the world respects and hears a
body that can defend its own.
Two little words of counsel will suf-
fice for this message of today. It is
better to single-shot one idea than to
scatter bird-shot suggestions over a
wide area of advice.
First—Let us make our farms every-
where self-supporting, and we can
smile into the face of every panic
which gamblers are able to manipu-
late. Let every farm be a province of
plenty, a walled city of industrial de-
fense. Let us sow and reap from the
soil that Is ours the necessaries of life
and we can then in any possible emer-
gency forget the luxuries and defy the
conspirators who would starve us into
industrial submission to their plans.
Tickle the soil with muscle and touch
it with brain, and it will furnish every-
tfr&g we need and build the best estab-
lished rampart against our enemies.
And once more, Ijp wary of the poli-
ticians. As the organization grows
greater and more powerful, the schem-
ing politician with his skilled lieuten- l-
ants becomes more and more solicitous
of our happiness and success, and
more and more determined to use it as
the stepping stone to his personal
profit or his political preferment.
Watch this fellow and avoid him to
the end. By this man the Farmers'
Alliance fell, but by this man let us
never fall. Give every man thine ear,
but few thy tongue. Weigh counsel
careftilly, and with keen eyes consider
the man who gives it.
And may the God of our fathers
guide us in continual discretion to the
welfare of our families, our country
and the right. Loyally yours, Charles
S. Barrett, National President.
Not Land, But Labor, That's Wanted.
Of what use to you would be thou-
sands of broad acres if all other per-
sons also had all the land they could
use? Your land would have no value
and would return you no good except
that you worked it yourself. And who
would want more land than he could
use upon such terms? A good neigh-
bor under such circumstances would
be worth a whole county of soil. Aside
from what you actually use in your
own person, you do not want land far
the sake of the land, but for- the pur-
pose of keeping some poor landless
wight off until he has consented to
give you one-half or one-third of what
he and his family can raise on it.
The value of land, therefore, de-
pends not on its richness, but on the
fact that there must be men without
any land, who may be forced by their
necessities to pay you for the use of a
spot of God's footstool where they may
work and produce the good things of
life. You thenefore fence up the lands
with paper titles, defend them by some
mystic words in old books somewhere,
and fool the landless into giving their
consent to sustaining you in your pos-
session and keeping them out of pos-
session until they divide up with you!
And the landless in this country are
a majority, as they are in Europe, from
whence this system of deceit and in-
justice was imported. And without
the consent of this landless majority
at the polls at every election, you
would have no title to a bit of land
you were not using.—Appeal to Rea-
son..
This is the year when you want to
try the three P's as a comfort-bringer.
They are peanuts, psgs and poultry,
and to these things add prudence in
all things, and you will be very near
the kingdom.
If you find that the Union can't help
you in any way, for goodness' sake be
broad-minded enough to help it all you
can. Men who are away up in th*
world owe it to their humbler brethren
to lend a hand.
Life is too short to do all that we
want to do, hut by putting our efforts
into the Union and all pulling together
we can make an impression that will
work long after we are lain down in
the cold and silent dust
The fact is, you can't Just tell when
you may speak a good word for the
Union that may bring rorth good fruit
Keep at it the same as the merchant
keeps tending to his own business, and
the results will surprise you.
Have you taken time yet to fix up
the flower beds for the madam and
the girls? Better take this time now.
Folk£ will think some old scalawag
lives at your place, if you don't—and
the think will be about right, too.
Keep things around your place clean.
You can thus save doctors' bills, main-
tain the respect of your neighbors and
your own self-respect, which is one of
the most essential to the well-being of
any good citizen.
Don't fail to go to the educational
campaign meetings.
It is real amusing to see how the
friends of cotton speculation refer to
it as "legitimate" speculating.
It will be a reflection on every clti-
sen who falls to respond to the prof-
fered opportunity of getting rid of all
the trash about his premises.
Was your last Union meeting the
best you ever had? It ought to have
been, and it is your fault if it was not.
Get busy living up to your opportuni-
tiese.
There is a lot of school houses all
over this country now surrounded by
trees that would have been in the
open field if it had not been for the
Farmers' Union. Let the good work
go on and on.
POULTRY POINTS.
It is not too late to plant trees yet,
and we'll bet tea cents to a stageplank
that you have overlooked some place
where a tree would do all right if it
had a chance. Go plant it right away.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such a manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors. To obstruct the outlook
is In very bad taste as well as very
annoying to those confined to * the
house. Trees and shrubbery should
be placed so as to form a background
or setting for the dwelling.
Those who have disfranchised them
selves In those States where poll tax
qualification prevails have no kick,
coming whatever the ills of govern-
ment may be.
One of the most humane ways to
kill a fowl is the old-fashioned way
of cutting off its head.
When only one breed is kept there
is always a uniform shape, size and
color, which make them attractive.
Poultry will not do as well if fre-
quent change is made from sweet to
sour milk, and from sour to sweet
Some believe that the chicken and
egg business is the best small busi-
ness in the world—for some people.
When an untried food has been
grown, it Is safe to try a few feeds
before feeding it as a full ration and
watch the results.
There are something over 500 farm
papers in the United States, and all
of them devote more or less space
to poultry raising.
Many are making the poultry busi-
ness pay, although do not get the
fancy prices of those who live near
the city. But the price of building
material and feed is correspondingly
lower.
In order to keep in eggs, St is as
necessary to have a succession of
layers as much as it is necessary to
have a succession of cows to have
milk all the time.
Pop c<#rn has about the same feed-
ing value as other hard flinty corn.
We do not believe that poultry eat
it quite as well. When popped they
