LAST A Marvelous, Mysterious Force Which Gives Wonderful Mental and Phys- ical Strangth; Overcomss All Dis- sases; Enables You to Know the | Secret Natures of Others and to| Handle Them as You Piease, Prof. R. F. Robertson, Psych. D., C. D., 18 the greatest living teacher of Persondl Magnetism. He has astounded the scientists of the world. He has discovered a new system of developing and imparting m: netic force. He belleves the great power he h discovered lles dormant in every in- dividual. He guarantees you can master its great secrets at your own home and per- form wonders of which you have never dreamed. You can know at a glance the secret natures, talents, weaknesses, strength and vices of every person you wmeet. You can quickly develop marvelous physical and mental power, overcome all diseases in yourself or others, banish pain and bad habits without drugs or surgery. Prot. Robertson can read your secret nature and influence your thoughts, though a thou- sand miles away. He can teach you how to Ao the same: This may secm incredible, but he absolutely guarantees this result under & forfeit of §1,000.00 in gold. The power of hypnotism, persuasion, threats and en- treaties pales into insignificance when com- pared with the wonders of this mighty force. Professor Robertson calls his new dis- covery the “Ki-Magi" System of Personal .Influence. You do not have to have sub- jects upon which to practice. . Professor Robertson's instructions are so plain and explicit that you can road them carefuliy | and at once use this great power secretly to influence and control the thoughts and de- sires of anyone you wish. You will be startled and mystified at the wondertul | things you can do; you will be astounded | at the amazing power that you can exer- | clse over others. Prominent ministers of | the Gospel, lawyers and business men Ym\’u\ mastered Profescor Robertson's new sys- | tem, and they glve it their highest endorse- ment. 8. 1 Yetter of Middletown, Pa., says: *Your ‘Ki-Magl' System of Personal Influ- ence has brought me that success in busi- ness for which I have been looking. It is the magnet that controls; there Is no guess- work about It—it is & scientific fact. It has | taught me to know and control myself as well as others.” Dr. Hu H. Childs, pox No. 70, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., writes: “In your ‘Ki-Magl’ System of Porsonal Influence 1 have found what I have for years searched for in vain. 1t has changed my whole trend of thought and given my life a new meaning. 1 feel younger and stronger every day. I find in 1t the key to business success. , Mrs. A. B.

A Lynching and OfMecers a Hard Time to save Prisoner, PERRY, Ia., Jan. 17.—(Spocial Telegram.) —Harry Pattee, teller of the First National bank, on returning from the calico ball, a big social function, at 2 o'clock this morn- ing, was shot in the right breast just be- low the nipple by two men who were stea ing meat which hung on the back porch of Bis father's house. He had undressed and was ready for bed when he heard a nolse and on going to the back door saw the men and grappled with one of them, who shot him and ran away. He got back into the house and called for help. His father and two sisters were aroused and called Drs Trout and Ross. The wound bled freely, but they could not locate the ball. Harry rested easily during the day, but tonight is worse and it is feared will not rally again. To- morrow, if well enough, X rays are to be used to locate the bullet Marshal Riseer telephoned to Knoxville for bloodhounds, which arrived at 9:15 over the Rock Island and were immediately put on the trail. They followed it to the old pesthouse, now occupled by Steve Crandall, a fellew-about-town, who is on parole from Jall for stealing a hog sorae time ago. He | had gone down town and given himself up to be taken to Adel to jal\ to serve out his sentence. He was locked up and the hounds put on the trall for the other man. They tracked him through a barn and there lost the trafl. He Is supposed to have taken a horse and left town. Talk of Iynching has been rife all day and the officers decided to take Crandall to Adel to jall at T this evening. A mob of several hundred got together and tried to get the prisoner away from the officers. Clubs and fists were freely used, a rope was passed through the crowd and was put over Crandall's head, but the officers got it off again. Someone hit him in the face witha club and broke his nose. After drawing revolvers and threatening the crowd the officers managed to get Crandall on the 7 o'clock train for Adel. The disgrace of a Iynching was narrowly averted. The other man {s still at large, but it 1s expected he will be arrested in a day or so. DES MOINES, Ia., Jan. 17.—(Special Tele- gram.) —Governor Cummins was this even- ing notified by the captain of the militia company at Perry that he had already called out his company to patrol the city in connection with the shocting by robbers lest night of Harry Pattee. The governor had not been asked to call out the mil- itia and the action of the Perry captain was unauthorized, but the governor said he would make no objection to the militia company acting as a police force if they HANDY WITH CARVING KNIFE Sheep Butcher Attempts to Make Pro- fessional Vietim of Col. ored Wom At 9:30 o'clock yesterday evening Arch Harvey, excited and short of breath, ap- peared in the police station and after hold- ing onto a door casing unti\ ne caught yp with his breath, said: “Deys a man been cuttin' a gall up jes now. Over at 'Leventh street. He's cut- tin' her now' The six or seven officers in the rooms rushed for overcoats and clubs and started on a run with Arch, who was so excited that he could not say where the murder was being done. Up some dark stairs, over the hand laun- dry of H. Slaughter at 205 North Eleventh street, they found the girl who had been carved, a broken tumbler and some colored folks. The girl had an inch and a half long cut on her shoulder. The man had escaped. The woman was Hattie Walker; the man, Burrell Handy, with whom she had been living since she came to Omaha. She had been to the police statioh early in the even- ing to protest against Burrell, who had | been beating her for weeks. Hattie has been workiug for Mrs. Slaughter, who feeds boarders.

Redmond Clnims Lav: to Heal Imminent ne Sta Wounds. LONDON, Jan. 17.—John Redmond, M. P. responding to a national address, presented to him at Edinburgh this evening, said he believed Ireland would soon sec a law which would heal the wounds of the century and give the Irish people a chance of living in peace and prosperity on their own sofl. If the chance of settling the Irish land question was lost by rejection of the mea- sure, sald Mr. Redmond, there would be an overwhelming justification for such a| strong, menacing and dangerous public movement in Ireland as he would be sorry to see. He thought the spirit of concillia- tion with the Dublin lard conference would be reproduced in the House of Commons, and if so the political patties might com- mence the work of appeasement and justice Hitherto the Irish nationalists had been fighting landlordism and not the landlords, whom they wished would remain to take a part In the government of the country The demand on the treasury in connection with the voluntary purchase scheme was not unreasonable. Thé deficit would disap- pear In ten years by the reduction in the cost of governing Ireland. Laying aside the questions of what was due to the land- lords, and of the debt due to Ireland, it would be a profitable investment to settle the land guestion which had baffled the best English statesmen, had been a source of poverty, misery and bloodshed and had caused the emigration of millions of Irish- men to America who cherished there an undying hatred for the Union Jack He did not pelleve the settlement of the land question would settle the home rule question and he would hestitate to say that it would be the removal of the last obsta cle. In conclusion said he, if the last chance lost, the losers would be the landiords and those desiring to maintain the connec- tion between England and Ireland. The | Irish people were ready to accept the situa- tion in the event of the acceptance or the refusal of the pending proposition. AMERICAN 'VARSITYS BEST German Professor comings of HI Laments Short- National Seats of Learning. BERLIN, Jan. 17.—German scholars are beginning to give unusual attention to American intellectual progress. Prof. Weltz of Freiburg university, comparing the eclen- tific development of Germany and the United States, says the real American danger exists in intellectual rather than economic things. The foremost among the new world uni- versities, he points out, are better equipped than those in Germany for comprehensive tralning, and the munificent gifts from pri- vate Individuals for libraries, museums, laboratories and professorships supply the American professors with facilities for fn- struction superior to those of their German colleagues. Therefore, Germany i in dan- ger of being surpassed by the United States in intellectual development. Describing how German workers are handicapped by the inadequacy of libraries, Prof. Weltz remarks: German investigators often painfully real- ize the fact that their American colleagues work under far more favorable circum- stances. We have libraries, numerous and good, but there is not a single one where it can with certainty be reckoned that adequate material exists for the subject in hand. The larger German umiversities, like Berlin, Munich and Goettingen, have often Attempted to get means for supply- ing the missing books, but in vain. After several weeks of correspondence with six or more libraries the inquirer finally ascer- tains that it is impossible to write a dis- sertation In Germany at all In conclusion, the professor asserts that the Americans not only have the better tools, but owing to their large teaching staffs and more minute subdivision of sub- jects, the American students are able to pursue individual scientific tests more ef- tectively.

He had no doubt that the treaty would be ratified ax he was assured that no serlous opoosition was to be expected from those democrats who regarded it with disfavor Senators Platt (Conn.) and Aldrich (R discussed the prospect antl-trust leg- islation. Both were of the apinion that some measure could be passed, although it was pointed out that with less six weeks remaining, it would be difficult to over- come any strenuous opposition Senator Beveridge (Ind.) told the presi- dent that it was now certain the omnibus statehood bill would not be passed by the senate.

Dissiporove Water Cure. Final action has been taken by the pres- ident and secretary of war in the case of First Lieutenant Edwin A. Hickman of the First cavalry, oue of the officers tried by courtmartial for administering the water cure to Filipino prisoners. The military court acquitted him and the papers have been indorsed with the simple word ‘“dis- approved,” evidently intending to depre- cate the employment of the water cure witheut affecting the judgment of the court in acquitting the officer on the general ground that its employment in this in- stance was justified by circumstances.

In his address President Warren sald the | wool growers of the country were In better | condition now than they had been for years past. The country, he said, is practically free from old wool stored in former years by speculators, and with the marketing of the clip this year he believed better prices would prevail.

Attempts to take him have proved”ineffectual and he has al- ready killed one man, a negro, and wounded several white men. Ilahabitants of the nelghborbood are terrified. After his escape from jall, where he was confined for shooting a negro foreman and Xilling a negro at the lime works in Shel- byville, Benton returned to Shelby county, heavily armed, and threatened H.

He is now keeping his pursuers at bay. Victor Talking Machines from $15.00 to $50.00.
