gang of laborers arc at work laying
brick and the gasoline ice meltor is
giving great satisfaction. About half
a , block of new brick have been laid
and there remains but one more block
to llnish.
The Sleeper is Awakened.
The pulse of Ira Muntzkc. the young
man who was hypnotized by long dis
tance telephone last Saturday even
ing was Increased trom18 to % in
less than half a minute'by Dr. .1. H.
- Gilpln. who put him to sleep , and de
creased back to IS in still briefer time
Monday afternoon when the hypnotist
came to the C' . 11. Krahn tailor shop
to see how his subject was doing. A
number of proiossionul men were
present when Or. Gilpln increased the
sleeping man's pulse. Dr. W. II. I'll-
ger look the young man's pulse at the
hypnotist's suggestion and found the
great increjwo a half minute later. He
then took the- pulse after it had hern
den cased. Besides this performance
Dr. Gllplu , by pointing his hands at
the sleeping man. raised him to a .sit
ting position and with a snap of the
lingers the sleeper's head fell heavily
onto the pillow.
To a News representative who was
present nt this performance Dr. Gil-
pin explained that the high pulse boat
was obtained by exciting the young
man's nerves.
"You know. " said the doctor , "If you
should happen to step on a live snake
your pulse boat would increase great
ly. It Is similar in this case. "
Many who have been skeptical as to
Mnutzke's long sleep would have boon
clearly convinced had they been present
ent at K calm's shop when Dr. Gilpln
explained to The News man and Dr
Pllger how Mantzko was put to sleep
In the course of his explanations Dr
Gilpln told of how he saved Mnntzke
from probable death when that young
man was given up by physicians.
Could Feel Pain.
"Mantzko was a habitual cigarette
llond. " said Dr. Gilpln. "He weighed
but 105 pounds and physicians had giv
en him up. Since I have had him ho
has gained wonderfully In weight. Ho
now weighs 152 pounds and he Is not
nervous as ho once was.
"His being hypnotized seems to do
him good. It does not harm him in
any way. I bollove a fast of twenty-
four hours each week is good for any
man. I myself have been asleep over
fifty hours under hypnotic Influence
and it has never done mo any harm.
I bo 11 mo I am as healthy as any man
In the United States. "
"Could any one wake Mantzke , and
would ho feel It should a pin be driven
Into him ? " asked The News man.
"Yes , " leplled the hypnotist. "He
certainly would feel It. If a lire should
break out and if he should he burned
or shaken real hard he would be awak
ened. He Is not In a stage beyond
that. A cannon might ho Hied off
right near him but he would not hear
It , hut to the touch he Is sensitive and
could be awakened , although ho could
be put Into n stage of sleep where he
could not feel pnln. " I ' i
Then the hypnotist told of how j '
Mant/.ke Is usually told by him in ad
vance that ho Is to sleep for fifty
hours commencing on a certain day or
night and then when ho arrives nt a
certain place where ho Is lo sleep ho
becomes nervous and thinks of his
sleep. Then the time of his sleep
conies and he goes to bed and the
lopnotlst tells him over the telephone
lo sleep and ho slumbers on until
awakened by him or otherwise.
"It has been said , doctor , that
Mant/.Ue Is not hypnotized but Is un
der the Influence of a strong opiate
which has a tendency to make him
sleep a certain length of lime , " again
interrupted The News man.
"You can nsk any physician If that
Is possible , " replied Dr. Gilpln. Then
asking Dr. Pllger the question , Gil-
pin was corroborated In his statement'
that no drug could be used with any
success for that purpose , and even If a
drug should bo used it would be" very
dlfllcuU to secure one to counteract It
In any si > ecifled time.
Dr. Gilpln then told In a very inter
esting way the mysteries of the art of
hypnotism and on nil his arguments
ho was agreed with by the physician.
Mantzko was placed In a cot shortly
before the time the curtain raised In
the Auditorium , carried from Krnhn'a
shop and was awakened before a largo
audience.
Mantzke was again visited by Dr.
Gilpln at 7:25 : Monday evening and
ifter the hypnotist had made him "rig-
d , " two attendants with tiie aid of Dr.
Gilplu placed the sleeping man on a.
cot , where again he was made "nor-
nal. " At 8:15 : ho was carried through
rear door onto the stage in the Au-
lltorlum and at 8-10 : Dr. Gllpin stop-
; > ed into the audience and aroused the
sleeping man , who lay on n cot near
Uie footlights on the stage.
H was a grcwsome sight , the hypno
tist in the audience going through his.
motions and the seemingly til 111 cult
iwakening of the young man who had.
slept for fifty hours. When Mantzke
was fully awakened Dr. Gilpin was
heard to cry , "Grab him ; " At the
same moment Mrs. Gilpln , who is also
a Hypnotist , cried "Grab him ! " and
there was a rush for the young man ,
!
whose sudden arousing seemed to daze
him.
A Grewsome Sight.
"You see , we don't know what they
will do when they wake up , " explained
Mrs. Gilpln to a News man.
Mantzke was rushed from the stage
into a dressing room , where he took ;
light nourishment and soon appeared I
looking refreshed , behind the wings ,
!
where he announced himself as "feel
ing line. " lie was soon introduced to ,
the audience , who cheered him. Ho
was given a chair with a class of subjects -
jects attached to the company and I
about live local joting men who submitted
.
mitted themselves to be hypnotized by
Dr. and Mrs. Gilpin.
Soon , with the aid of music and a t
few "first" instructions , during which l
ho weeded out some of those upon ,
whom they could not operate , the hyp
notists received attention from their
class and it was only a short time lat
er when they had the young men be-
.
lievlng they were tending "teething"
,
babies ; that they were great orators ;
that they had nine fingers on their left
hand ; and that they wore teaching ca
nary birds to sing. There was great
laughter derived when several of the
local young men went through their
.
parts in such earnestness that they
left no doubt with the audience that
they were under hypnotic influence.
The feature of the evening's entertainment
,
tainment was the "human stairway , "
during which live young men were put (
to sleep and then made rigid. Kaeh
.
man was placed with neck and foot
resting , as a step , and Dr. and Mrs.
I
Gilpln walked up the steps- , stepping
1
each time on the stomach of the young
r
men. At this moment Mrs. Gilpln suf
fered an attack of indigestion and had
to retire for a few moments , but the
hypnotist , who weighs 175 pounds 1
again walked up this human stairway. .
Several times he called out "rigid" and
the forms of all five men could be seen 1
to strain at the same moment to an 1
extremely rigid position.
To show that there is no opiate used
In his operation , Ur. Gilpin will hyp *
notize a man Wednesday who will play *
a piano for eleven hours without stop- '
ping.
Cow Wins Battle , Pony is Killed.
Co'lomo Times : A pony recently

cow's horns and tetaliated by "giving

New Factory to Be Built.
At a special meeting of the city J
council held In the city hall Tuesday ,
morning a resolution was passed by (
the city dads showing that they wel-
,
. coined the Norfolk Oil and Chemical
| I works to Norfolk ; that they favor the.
. company's present site for a factory , | i
' , north of the old brick yard , and will ,
give the new enterprise all the protec- .
. tlon that Is in their power. J
] Tills resolution was passed by the
council after an hour's discussion as
to whether or not it was in the conn- [ j
j ell's power to grant W. W. Wasson , !
manager of the Norfolk Oil and Cliem- [
. leal company , a permit to build a fac- ,
tory. Mr. Wasson had previously , dur- .
. lug the meeting , asked for the permit
| I and with his request submitted a largo
, number of affidavits sworn to by some
of the leading business men of Waterloo - .
lee , la. , where the company has maintained - .
tained a plant for over four years. |
'Among ( the signers of some of the af- ] 1
lldavits was the county attorney of
I the county In which Waterloo is leI -
I I cated , and the city attorney of Water-1
loo. All the Waterloo business men
declare that the Waterloo plant Is a
i ' clean one and that never has there j i
been any complaint against It. They
declare it is located in the business
section of the city and that their own
offices are located not many feet away
from it. There is no noise , smell or
nuisance of any kind caused by this
factory , they say.
i ' The Norfolk councllmen seem favor-
ably impressed with the new factory
and arc of the opinion that Mr. Was-
son will not be hindered from going
, ahead with the construction , although
they are powerless to grant a permit ,
owing to the fact that the site north of
the old brick yard is out of the fire
limits.
When asked for his opinion by one
of the councilmen , City Attorney Barn-
hart declared that because there is no
ordinance prohibiting the construction
' of the factory at the present time.
' there is nothing to hinder Mr. Wasson
I from going ahead with the construe-
tion of the plant. The new ordinance
which is about to bo read a second
time by the council , prohibiting the
building of such factories without a
license , will have no effect on Mr. Was-
son's plant , should the plant be com .
pleted before the ordinance is passed. ,
said thn city attorney.
Ho admitted that the council has no i
power to stop the construction of such
a factory , and that the citizens , if they
can prove that the plant Is a nuisance , ,
can Ille an injunction against it. Conn-
cilmnn Kauffman , who has some prop-
erty near where the plant Is to ho i
built , declares he is In favor of it being -
ing built there and that it will increase i
the value of his property. When ad-
journment took place Constable John i
Flynn declared that there was to be a i
petition filed against the construction i
ot the plant , by property owners living
in the vicinity of the old brick yard.
' Mr. Flynn was handed the many af
fidavits and it was believed property
owners will be convinced that the
plant will bo of value to them on the
- present proposed site. Should this lo
cation be changed it is hinted that np-
{ plications have been received to take
I the plant to a different part of the
! city.
Preceding the discussion on the
chemical factory the council allowed
. Superintendent Craig to proceed with
the completion of paving Norfolk ay-
enue. It was brought out that there
are several spots in the newly laid
j concrete which were frozen. Mr.
Craig agreed to repair all defective
places before laying any brick.
