HYPNOTISM IN A COURT.
They F It In Their Intrlgoei Learned
Men Pronounce Opinions.
An interesting case was recently
brought before the criminal court ot
Munich. A Polish adventurer named
Lubirz-Czyuskl had appeared in Dres
den as a professional hypnotlzer. Dres
den has many rich people who have
nothing special to keep them employed
and the man with the unpronounce
able name found plenty of faithful fol
lowers. Among them was a lady of
good family, beautiful and rich. The
"professor" declared his love to her,
she accepted him, and there, under or
dinary circumstances, would have been
an end to the matter. Unfortunately,
however, Czyuskl had already a wife,
and he tried to get out of the difficulty
by a sham marriage, asking his new
spouse to keep their union secret. But
the high born lady's relatives got
wind of the affair and had the adven
turer arrested, accusing him of having
hypnotized his victim., Half a dozen
learned men, says the Berlin Echo,
were summoned from as many univer
sities to decide whether it was possible
to influence a person to such an extent
that all resistance is impossible. The
Jury failed to be convinced that such
is the case. The charge against Czyus
kl, of having made the lady subservient
to him without her consent, was dis
missed, but he was found guilty of
disorderly conduct and of criminal
acts against the public morality and
sentenced to three years' imprison
ment, with five years' loss of civic
honors. The Berlin Nation says; "We
do not believe that hypnotic influence
is irresistible. When we see the ex
hibitions of professional hypnotlzers
we are led to think that they command
obedience. If a hypnotized person ia
fold, 'You are a dog,' he will begin to
bark and crawl on all fours. But we be
lieve that all such people are only
somewhat stupid individuals, who fol
low no other influence than the wish
to appear interesting or to please for
some reason or other the hypnotlzer.
I have often discovered proofs of this.
One man, for Instance, was told that
in a certain place there was a wall
too high for him to Jump over. He
went to this place and began to Jump,
but he always jumped backward!
None of the great scientists who inter
est themselves in hypnotism have ever
declared that they themselves could
be influenced. It is impossible with a
person feeling his responsibility, and
neither Judge nor Jury could be influ
enced." A BOY SCULPTOR.
Phenomenal Artistio Development of a
Ton-Year-Old Alabamlan. .
Ben Nelson Alexander lives in Val
ley Head, Ala. He is 10 years old.
When only 2 years old, when sitting at
the table during a meal, he would make
chickens, ducks, pigs, or any familiar
object by rolling the crumbs of his
bread. His talent Increased, and when
old enough to play out ot doora he made
things of mud with such astonishing
success that his parents furnished him
with molding clay. His mother allows
him a large room in the upper part of
the house, and he has made all the
principal houses of the town and
placed them in regular streets, as they
appear in the town. Some time ago a
gentleman came to the house, and,
wishing to test his talent, asked him to
make a bust of him. The little fellow
brought a "chunk of dough" and began
shaping it, never looking at it, but In
the gentleman's faee the whole time.
In half an hour he had molded very
feature, even to a mole on the left ear
and a trifling pear on the neck. He
has busts and some life-sized figures
of prominent men, besides dogs, pigs
and other animals. He has been of
fered a free scholarship at Cooper
Union, New York, but his mother ia
not willing for her "little man" to leave
her yet
Two Irish Anecdote.
We have so often laughed at Pat for
his droll errors of speech that it is
pleasant to laugh with him occasion
ally at the expense of some one else.
It is possible to do this when we recall
the old tale of the Yankee and the Irish
man, who were riding along a country
road together, when they came to a
gallows. "See that, Pat?" said the
Yankee, with a smile. "Where would
you be if the gallows had its due?"
"Rotding alone," said Pat, quietly. An
other funny tale is told of a rather idle
Irish boy on board a man-of-war. It
was very difficult to keep him at work,
and the boatswain who had charge of
him was much annoyed by the boy's
laziness. Seeing him In the maintop
one morning, gazing idly out at the
sea, the boatswain called out to him:
"Come down out of that, ye rashcal!
Come down out of that, an' ol'll give
yez a dozen whacks wid de rope."
"Faith, sorr," replied the boy, "oi
hrouldn't come down If ye offered m
(wo dozen."

FIUE.
The Lancaster county company has had
its second loss this year. The first wan
paid with money on hand, but the com
pany is now collecting a five mill asaes
nient. C50 cents per $1,000). The com.
pany is now nearly threeand a half years
old and has made but one other ases
mentdO cents per$100;. With the $1.50
memberHliip fee the total cost has been
30 cents per $100, $3.00 per $1,000, at
this rate the cost for $1,000 for five
years will be but about $3.50.
I wish every man in Nebraska couH see
this statement and then compare it with
his old line policy.
The company has Rained $40,000 since
January 1st, and Iihuco now has $120,
000 insured. I will seud a marked copy
of this paper to every member of the
company, and hope each one will hand it
to his neighbor who is not a member of
our company and thus make him sick of
his skin game company, whfch is carry
ing his insurance at cost, as they claim.
cyclone.
We have a good healthy Cyclone com
pany now, three years old, in which we
have had but one assessment (10 cents
per $100.)
The fees are but $2.00 and an advanced
assessment of () cents per $100. Thus
you will see that it hascost but $4.00 for
$1,000, $0.00 for $2,000. Now compare
again with your old policy for cyclone
ajid if you desire insurance in this line
ask our accent for it or call on the secre
tary, J. Y. M. Swigart, corner 11th and
M streets, or write him. II you wait on
agents to hunt you, you will have to
nuy them. Heuce it is cheaper for you to
hunt the agent for insurance as well as
anything else. What would you think of
a farmer who never went to the store to
purchase anything such as plows, har
rows, machinery, etc., etc., but would
wait for the implement men, dry goods,
grocer, druggist, jeweler, and clotuer to
cull and see whether he was in need of
such things? Yet nearly every one waits
until the man who has a job lot of insur
ance to dispose of comes around and
sells the insurance, and the man that
buys it, in consideration at a large profit
to himself and of a, few foreign fellows in
whom you have no interest and who
have none in you after the cash is deliver
ed. During the legislature the stock com
panies' lobby cluimed that their respec
tive companies lost money last year in
this state.
Now let us look at the sworn statement
of the secretaries of the eighty-seven for
eign companies that filed reports with the
auditor. Their reports show that they
collected $1,553,044 for premiums and
paid out $1,013,022 for losses a differ
ence of $540,022. The lobby either lied
or the management expenses are entirely
too high.
There are three state stocK companies
whose reports show that they received
$203,405 in premiums and paid out for
losses $113,432. Hence they had a place
for Jfl4U,U'JJ. These companies wrote
$14,101,081, the rate was $18.50 per
In the reports from forty-one mutuals
we find that they insured $6,152,464,
(nearly one-half the amount insured
written by the state stock companies,)
and yet the amount collected was but
$39,676. or about one-seventh the
amountcollected by the companies whose
lobby told the members of the legislature
that the mutual plan was unsafe. The
averageamount collected by the mutuals
was but 65 cents per $1,Q00, for five
years this will amount to the sum of
an rsr
If any farmer would place this averaee.
$18.50, that his stock insurance would
cost him on $1,000 out at interest for
five years it would bring him 92 cents,
and he could pay his average 65 cents
and at the end ot Ave years he would
have a balanceof interest aloneof $1.47,
and the $18.50 besides. Those precious
lobbyists told us last winter that the
plan of mutuals was all right on paper.
I would like to ask them how it looks in
history.
hat is true m fire and cyclone insur
ance is also true in hail insurance. We
have a hail company and would like to
insure every farmer in Nebraska on the
mutual plan. If you areat all interested
write us soon, that we may seud you
supplies. We will this week send out a
large list with this article marked, and
will send an order lor sample copies of
the Farmers Institute, published at
Mason tity, Iowa. That paper is the
best authority on mutual insurance that
1 know of. It is a monthly, but every
number is worth the year's subscription
to any man at all interested in insurance
It is (he official paper of one hundred
und thirty-four mutual companies. It
has a farm head work department that
is worth several times the price it will
coHt you. It has other features that will
please you well. The price is fifty cents
per year, but we have made arrangement
by which you can get The Wealth .Mak
Kiis and the Farmers Institute one year
for $1, if sent to me. This offer applies
to new subscribers to The Wealth Mak
kiis, or those who are not in arrears for
subscription unless the delinquency is
paid up at the time.
Later. I have a letter from Samuel
Liclity in which he informs me that their
company has just paid a loss of $1,300
in three weeks from date of fire. Now
what will the croakers say about the
farmers mutuals not paying unless they
haveapile laid up (for ageutsand officers
to divide)?
