Many large cities have already ta-
ken steps to prevent the exhibition of
moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight, and the idea is one which the
maller cities can well afford to pattern
after. In all probability it will be the
last light the present generation will
be permitted to see. Nevada is the
only state in the Union which has not
yet put the ban on the brutal contests
of this sort, and the exhibition on the
4th at Reno will probably cause the
legislature of that state to enact such
laws as will prevent pugilistic en-
counters in the future.

This medium is one of the most sur-
prising of all. Here mediumistic power
actually is brought into play. The
medium really does divine the very
thought of the sitter; but he does by
the use of his most carefully trained
powers of observation. He knows that
in writing the names of persons, the
sitter already has made up his mind
about the departed friend. The others
he will think about momentarily before
writing them down. ' The medium
watches the writing operation intently.
He notices it may be only an instan-
taneous hesitation before each name
until the real one comes, and that
goes down without the slightest hesita-
tion. The medium notes which name
this is in its order on the sheet of
paper, and when the list is cut into
slips and handed to him, he gives that
one an unobserably different fold
When the slips are al placed In the
basket and shaken up and the sitter
draws them out one by one the medium
recognizes it by, this method of fold-
ing. Having seen the name when fold-

ed the greatest school- in Texas for
young men and women. This school
has educated hundreds of, young men
and women who were not able to pay
either their tuition or board, and all
that was required of them was their
word of honor that they would pay
when they were educated and secured
positions. Of these hundreds who se-
cured their education in this manner
the number who failed to keep their
word of honor by re-paying Prof. Mayo

counted on the fingers on one hand.

bonuses for him to move his school,
but he refused all offers and accepted
a bonus of less than one-half what oth-

burned building with a handsime three-
story brick and stone structure. The
total estimated value of the buildings
and grounds at this time is in the
neighborhood ot$250,000, and this to
a most wonderful showing, considering
that the promoter started with nothing
and has built up the greatest' normal

to show what schools will do for a
town. It to worth more to Commerce
than all other enterprises combined.

“THIS IS MY S1ST BIRTHDAY”
Belvidere Brooks
Belvidere Brooks, the general man-
ager of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, was born in Wheelock,
Tex.,’ July 6, 1859. At 12 years of age
he started his career as a messenger
boy in Navasota, Tex. When he was
not running messages he was studying
the telegraph code, and before he was
15 he was able to send and receive
over the wires. At 20 he was an ex-
pert telegraph operator.- After work-
ing for two years for the Houston and
Texas Central Railroad he obtained
employment with the Weetern Union.
In 1880 he became manager of the
company’s office in Navasota, where
he began eight years previously as a
messenger. From Navasota he was
transferred to Dallas and later was
superintendent of the offices in Waco,
El Paso and Galveston. After leaving
Texas he was‘given charge of the
Western Union offices in Denver, from
which point he was transferred to the
% general headquarters in New York,

With » cotton acreage at least one-
third greater than last year and with
crop conditions better, the prospects
are that Wichita county will this year
produce at least 12,000 bales of cotton.
This is fine, when it is considered
that only for the past few years has
any attempt been made at cotton rais-
Ing. In fact, fifteen years ago there
was not a cotton gin in the county,
and a bate of cotton when brought to
town on a wagon was considered some-
thing very extraordinary and some-
what of a curiosity. That was at a
time when the farmers had the one
crop idea and were planting all their
land to wheat and oats, and, in favor-
able years, they made money, perhaps
a great deal more than if the same
amount of land had been planted to
cotton. But the one crop idea has play-
ed out entirely in Wichita county, and
in this whole section of the country
and since that time farm land values
have doubled and tripled in price. Be-
sides this great advance In the price
of lands, the big ranches are almost
entirely a thing of the past. The own-
ers have discovered that they cannot
afford to grass,catUeoe land that
would bring readily all the way from
$18 to $35 per acre, and wisely sold
them out to parties who resold them
to farmers in tracts of 160, 320 and
640 acres. So long as the county held
to the big ranch and one crop idea,
there was not much prosperity to re-
cord, but by the adoption of the pres-
ent methods of farming—raising not so
much of one particular thing, but a lit.
tie of nearly everything, of which the
rich and fertile soil is capable of pro-

Premier Laurier to Tour the West
Ottawa, Ont., July 6.—All arrange-
ments have been completed for the
departure tomorrow of Premier -Lau-
rier and his party for their extensive
tour of the west. It will be the pre-
mier’s first visit to that section of the
Dominion in thirteen years and with
the next general election in view the
trip is naturally regarded as of great
political significance.
Sir Wilfred will be accompanied by
Hon. John P. Graham, minister of rail-
ways, E. M. MacDonald, M. P., and
F. F. Pardee, the Liberal whip. Other
prominent Liberal leaders are expect-
ed to join the party en route. \

and then opens the pellet to verify
it A sitter acknowledges it to be
his.. Then he tells the others one by
one, with never a slip or a word
missed. It’s very pussling, but the
explanation is easy. The medium
knows in advance the question the
confederate will ask. He also knows
his pellet by an undetectable fold
known only to them. He announces
this question end then picks up a
pellet to verify it. But the pellet
he takes up and opens is not the pellet
written by the confederate. He an-
nounces that he was right He has
thus gotten one pellet ahead of the
game and he reads the message on
pellet No. 2. By this opening a pel-
let ahead of the one he profeseed to
have read, he is able to see every
pellet ia advance of announcing its
contents.
