ISM.Tho The acxton hurried to the courthouse ana soon the iron lonituo'of tbo old ball was spreading the alarm. The eburoh bolH took itup , until the very hills seemed to ooho back the cry , "Alorp.in Is coming. " The wildest oxcltomont provallod , nil kinds ot ox- trnvagnnt ntorlos gained ctoilonco. women falntod , ohildroii wept from dread of they know not what , nnd strong man iirayod for uollvurniico from the destruction that was exvcepiDK down upon thorn. . Such was tUo reputation of thU bold raldor that all oxpoctoJ the town to bo burnud and the Inhabitants killed. The oxultdmunt and suspcn.io wore torrlblo , JUut'soon the reaction cntno and actlvo measures for doronso wore planned. The old brass c ruin on , only used on occasions line the Fourth of Julv , was brought out. The blacksmith shops opunod , the forges lltrhtod , and nail rodi cut Into slugs which were liaully sowed into cloth * aok9 to servo as ammunition. It was not lonjf before the old brass pot of " 70 was ready to ueal destruction to the robul raldor and his horde. The militia wuro called out , and quickly the streets of tnU platurosquo Jiltlo city were allvo with men nrmod with nqulrrol rllles , old muskuts , axes , xwordi , purdon rakns and grubbing boos , ready to detond their homo and flroMdo. While the work of defense was KOlnt , ' on , Thu \ ViiinnnVcra not Idle. Sljvor spoons were hastily placed la ash b.irrols or dropped Into the cistern , money \vus burled under the ho.irthstouo or In the collar and tno inoro porUblo valuables se creted In the clothes of their owners. Ono lady bobbled around , her noekuU weighted down witn the entire Invoice of family sil ver waro. A farmer u few mllei out of town who had hoard ot Morgan's coming placed S OO in gold In a common blacking jox tuul put it lu u morll&o In the weight log of bis elder press , where It was found tliroo ' months after oy his son. thaold Kdiillomun havlnir entirely forgotten in his bewilderment where ha hid his treas ure. Slrango fancies took color from their fours. Ono youug lady thought only of tbo family Blockings and linstilv lining her capacious hoop skirt with this part of the family wnrdrobo moved around like an am- mated clothosborso. The dawn of n beautiful Sabbath morning found throe companies of militia and score ) of citizens rostinc on their ar.ns anxiously awaiting news from Morgan. Soon uftor sunrise the sound of cannonading was heard in the direction or Sallnovlllo , on the extreme woslorn line of the county. Directly the now * came that a fight YTUS in progress near that town , between - tween union sohlloM under Major Hue and Morgan's men. The two coniDaules ot mounted militia under command of Captain James BurblcK and William Uoalultor , Jr. , together with the foot company under Unit- tain J. M. Curry , wllh the urtillory , departed at once to meet 1110 enemy. Morgan ana his band of well mounted men , numbering 2.40'J ' Croujcul the Ohio Ulvur from ICmittlcky Into Indlann near tno first of July 1S03. Tboy were all picked men , few ot them overtwenty- llvo years of ago , and all of thorn sons of'the best southern families , principally Kon- tucltlnns. They were superblv mounted , many of them on Kentucky thoroughbreds. Gen. Morgan himself rode u chestnut stallion , whoso pcdlsrca was familiar on two continents , and which carried him through that fearful rtdo lo the Mold of surrender. They worn well equipped , well trained , full of the flro of youth , nnd commanded by a man in whom they placed Implicit confidence. Such was Morgan the raiaor and his band , when be boastingly said that bo would water his cavalry horses In Lake Erie , frcotaocon- Icdcrato prisoners at camp Usnisou , bum Salem , U. , then the moat noted under ground fuaiUvo sliivo station in the northern states nnd glvo tbo Vnnks a tusta of war on their own doorsteps. Morgan , llko many of the southern leaders , thought tha northern states were pretty well drained of able boillod men and that a raid such its ho pro posed would bo comparatively easy. But bo bad not go'uo far before his mind was disabused of this false Idea. Hols reported m saving that Ohio was the dumndoit. stnto ho over saw , for the very woods scorned ulivo With bush whackers. Good authority mates that 120,000 militia took the llolu against Morgan , nnd It is said that the report afterwards made by him ot the Immense resources , both In men and otherwise hold In reserve by tha north , was the most disheartening that reached tbo toutborn leaders during tbo war. Once across tbo Obiorivar Morgan bejuu Htoaling borsoH , pillaging houses and stores and burn ing buildings , Oil iluU'fiit Mko u Cyclone , laying waste the fair homos ana quiet vil lages of Indiana and Ohio , holly pursued by federal troops and militia. When cornoroa ho would boldly attack ins oncmv and re treat at thn Mrst favorable moment. This fox cuajo had been kept up ucnm Indiana and Ohio tor overlhroowcoks.oacb encounter making the lln nl result more certain , Morgan's jaded troops would gladly have orouud tbo Ohio river into Kentucky or Virginia soon utter entering the tttito with tha uluudor and horses already secured , but f.ulornl gun boats and federal solalcn bafllod his every effort In this direction. A disastrous o counter occurred during uu attempt by Man- gan to cross tha Ohio river lit UulTttigton'r Bar near Uluunerhasol's Ulaud , a auot lands famous by tbo intrigues of Anron Burro Heru be was opposed by a largo federal force aided bv gun boats on the river and oamo verv near being captured , but escaped with lomo GJU cavalry , wltu the loss of bis most valued uld , Colonel riull UnUo. who was tuken prisoner by the union troops at this point. Still moving parallel with tha Ohio rlvorvhlcu bo yet huued to cross , ' Morgan Jliirrlml on. When It was heard that lie ana hU band nndiarrivod ut Spriugllold , Jefferson county , Ohio , tUaoltUoiis of Salinovillo , which lay right on his course , began nutlvo prepara tions for his reception nnd for the defense of the town , A company of scouts was lit once organized whoio duty it was to learn the In tentions nnd destination of Morgan and his men. Much v credit is dui tuobo onergotlo citizens , for the Information furniihed by thorn enabled Major Uanoral Urooku , wUoso hondquarlern weru nt U'ollsvillo , O. , some flltoon mlles away , to soail u regiment of Pennsylvania troopi to Salinovillj by rail , In time to take position In and around that vil lage before Morgan arrived. When the con federates apnnarod In slghtupon the Monroo- vllleroaa advancing upon Sulinovlllo , tbey- ducoverecl that the blue Jndcots wora too many for them and thny wheeled and coun termarched on the double quick. But scarcely had they begun their rutroat when they were brought up with a sharp turn bv Sbackloford'a union forces under command of Major Hue , stationed on the Hurson farm. Finding himself almost aurrauiidod Morgan at once formed in line of battle and linpoiu- ouiily attacked bin would-be cuptoH. After a brisk Virniliti Morgan retreated In a west erly direction but rallied again when u vol- to ; from the Michigan cavalry put them Into a complnto rout , b'roin this time It was a running tight for about four mlles won In tbo direction of Meolmiilcjlnvvn , whoiittio forcoi of MaJorKuogave up the pursuit ana ratumed to Saltnovlile. Morgan lost lu this CIJCOIHI- ter ubout.10 men taken prUonoi-j , twenty- flvo to thirty wounded and oca ktllod. The uulrm loss was small. During this skirmish tbu llnoa.of tlm contending forces were on op- Iposito aides of tbu resilience of n Mr. Moore , and while tbo btillots wrromowingtbpllowor beds In tbo front yard and tinging llko a jwartn of angry beei lu the barnyard the ward fata IWUIIB opou and , TUo family Cow Ituii Out , n tbo road.

Morgan continued his course northward parallel with the Cleveland nnU IMttsburg railroad , passing to the west of the llttlo sta tion of Summltvillo. Bahlnd him were lev eled fences , trampled gralntlolds mil gutted stores. It was juit harvest tlmo. The men rode tlirontrb oat Holds , feeding from the shocks and scattering the carefully bound grain in nil directions , farm houses werodospoilcd of all their oatabloi and val uables , Ituvoc Iti-lRiird Hnprnini ) , whllo not far in his rear were the thunder and dust of pursuing uavulry. Uoforo him rolled a wave of terror that broke upon thoqulot of tint boiutlful Sabbath tnornliig llko an impcndlncr doo.n , scattering the Inhnbl- tnnu llko cbnlt before the wind , Botbosda church lay directly In his courso. Hundreds of citizens , with their famlllo < , had gathered there to worship. Thn woods which sur rounded the church were full of line norsos. What a picnic for ho Johnnies. Morgan saw thorn , but , fortunately , mistook thorn for union cavalry , nnd. fearing mi attack , veered sharply to tha eastward , turned nlmost a rlghtangle. nnd crossed tUa railroad just north of Mlllport. Almost nt the Instant Morgan made this discovery the ohurch uoople learned of Morgan's -approach , and such indlgnltlcd hustling as then occurred among thuso good people never was beard of before. Tbo elders forgot to pass the plato and the mlnlsicr contented him self with quoting tbo text : "Flee from tno wrath to come. " Got and wait not on tbo order of your going , and they flew as if the wratb was not moro tlnui a nook behind them. Ono good brother tried to drlvo aw.iv with the bltchlngpait , forget ting in his haste to untie his horso. Many of these presontllved right In the direction taken by Morgan and had loft members of tbolr families at homo , as well as several line bones In the homo pasture lot. How began a race to roacb their places of abode before the raiders could arrive , frighten their lamliies and capture the horses. Thu writer , then a small lad , was with his par ents going to church , and arrived In plain sight of tha rebels us they were crossing the loilroad track just below the church re ferred to. A young man was galloping up the railroad track on n line hor.10 , having Just oiciipod from Morgan. The ro.id was full of church ueoplo , who wcro urging their horses to their utmost speed. P.Miryliixly .loluoil 111 thu Mud Hush for homo. Just as wo reached tbo hill over looking tholittlo village of Diiugannon , on whose highest point was located the Catholic church , some one bad evidently given thu alarm , and the people wora pouring out of windows and doors , tumbling over ono another. Vnest and sermon were swallowed up in the ono great thought of .self-pruservation Morgan and his band meanwhile , aflor crossing the railroad , moved alnioat directly ea.st on the road , passIng - Ing through Squire John vVlllinra's farm and a heavy body of timber to the east , and emerging on the Hanover and West Point road at tbo farm of Daniel McCaliator. Mrs. McCaltstcr , familiarly icnown as Aunt Ce cilia , when .ilia neard Morgan was expected , declared tbntsbo would broomstick tne dirty devil if bo came to her houso. But when ho actually did snow up she waa so frightened that she took a stltcu in her side and leaning against the wall managed to gasp out , "help yourselves , " which they did with n will. They would split a loaf of bread , drop a roll of Dutter notwcon.and mounting their hordes , canter off wllh a dinner for three or four. Thosa travel-siuined kuigbls of tbo blue grass region uad a taste for dainty dishes , and no matter how much toey disliked the Ohio Uoys in blue they wuro not averse to partaking of tha pies and cakes made by their good looking sisters at homo. The way these hungry raiders devoured the plos and sweet cakes found in thosa farmers' pantries was a caution. They would ride up to a farm bouse and On I or'cliu Old l-'arinor to Sitt 'Km lip , " moaning tbo milk crocks. Tbo milk they would drink from tbo crocks while seated In their saddles , breaking the omnty ones against the spring house , lo tbu inlhifto ills. gUht of tbo farmer , whn would have to set milk in tbo toakotlles and fryingpaus until he could go to town for more crocks. Morgan was now on the direct road to the scone of tha surrender , ana was making all possible haste toward the Ohio rivur. On they galloped , exchanging hones with a 1 they mot. One man , an cider in the church , with his daughter , was mot by them in Iho road. Ho was driving a line horse , which tliov took at the point of a revolver , and left him hold ing bis lines over empty shafts. The men in tbo front ranks would stop at farm houses nnd exchange their jaded horses for fresh ones found In tbo barns orvasturo llelds and tbon urop in line at tbo rear. Passing down thcravlno which loads south east to Jackson snboolhousa tboy entered the broad , bjautiful valley ot Buavor creek and crossed Its north branch at Donaldson's ' farm , just wcat of Lebanon church. At this form the raiders ouptureri a big wild colt , which bad dolled its owner's attempts to tame it , and which , whoa lirst saddled by its uaptor.t , kicked , fouglit and plunged until frou from all but its bridltf , was once tnoio saddled and although ridden only uuout live mlles was regained by its owner next day almost ns elocilo as the old farm imlmaii. Although almost In thu clutches of tbo union forces , Morgan's men still Uapt up tbolr marauding depredations. Fine horses , cash , clothing , watcher , boiled shirts , eatables , Kvorythliifj Went. These chivalrous knights ofion presented tbo lady of the house with papers of pins , bolts cf muslin or calico , and occasionally a fashionable bat , whicu they bad stolen from some store on the roulo in exchange for urllclos appropriated by them. Houses wera comparatively scarce by this time , the farmers having bad warning had bidden their horses In deep ravines in thu heavy Umber. On entering thu largo barn of John Fleming , just oist of Lebanon church , thu gray coata were much dUgublcd at llnding no horses , allbough Iho barn was full ot heavy harnoss. Ono of thorn asked Mr. Flaming where all bis horses woro. "Oh,11 replied he , "I work oxon. " "SVell. " said tbo wouid-bo approuri- nior of homo llesb , "You koup a b 1 of a lot of harness to work oxen.1 Morgan was now rapidly noarlng the spot where bo was Huosequontly cnpiurod. The federal troops at Sallnovlllu nftor learning the direction ho bad taken moved eastward from thtit town on 4 course parallel to Hint taken bv Morgan , but noaiar the crouk. Their object was to get nboad of the raiders and turn them from their course toward tha Ohio river and capture them If possible. Whllo Iho Untied Slalns troops were thus engaged tbreo companies of militia from Now Lisbon bad moved out upon the Hanover and West Point road end were stationed across the line of Mor gan's advance , except the horse company under Captain Hosteller , jr. , who , becoming impailout nt tnj nomippoarunco of tbo enemy , had pushed on toward Sallnovlllu and tnlsvcd Morgan altogether. The foot company wai posted on a bill to tbo north of Iho Hanover & \Voat Polr.t , road , wllh Iho old ba > s cannon loaded lo thn miuzlo with pieces of null road aud wltu colors Hying lluuily tu JIuw Doiru Morgan and his man on sight. The other mounted company , commanded by Cupialn James Uuruluk was drawn up in line on tbo high way , near tbo McDonald farm , directly across the llnu of Morgan's advance. Laarn- log Unit Morgan was In their immediate vicinity two scouts named Sterling and Con- Ions were at once sent out lo ascertain bli whereabouts. Tboy soon returned and re ported thu enemy crossing thu north fork of Ltttlo Beaver , about one lullo back. This news created intouso oxoliomunt among ibo men , After waiting some lima further for the appearance of Morgan , , two moro iceuu volunteered to ride forward , Lieut. C. IJ. Maus and Thouius Daily. As tboy reached thocrojtof asleep hill Just eaat of the resi dence of John Fleming , tboy rode right lute tbo advauca guard ot the guerdllaai Mr , Mau was captured , but Daily , who wus mounted on a race horse e o ped by diwparata ridlug to hU cumpan'y , Captalu Uurblclq dooming tils nnndfnt of rr.lUtln Inadoqnnto to cope with Morgan , ordered thnm to fall bclc upon Iho limitary stationed nn Urn hill. When tboy arrived nt the point Indicated thov found x < inlr Wiu. Uorivart , tbo color bonror , Frank Itodirors and .loromo Nblson. Captain Curry on soolnir Morgan's man galloping toward them ordered his men to I Inn for their lives. The ; plkod tha old cannonripocd up llio am munition and took to the woods. By this lima tha wbolo militia force had dwindled to los than a dozen men. At this critical point the stanch old color bearer , \Vm. Darwart , took a llrmar grasp on the ( lag staff and sum "By Judas , Thlrf U tlm American 1'l.ig and 1 will illo by It. " The guerrillas having reached a uolnt on the West Point road Just oppostto the stand taken ty tha militia , sent out n ll.i ? of. iruoj by Charloi Maus , the scout whom they ha 1 captured nnd pressed into service , under escort of two officers , They rode up nnd Mnus called to Captain Bur- ulclt , whom they requested to go with them to O'-'ticral fOorL'tin , wblcn ho did. Morgan proposed to respect both persons nnd piop- orty wbllo in tbo stnto of Ohio on Iho condi tion that ho bo nl lowed to pass unmolested outot tbo ntato. To this Captain Burnlck agreed. Morgan then requested thu captain to accompany him ns n guaranty that the proposed condition bo rcspcclcd by the troop * and mlllliu which ho might uncountor. The two rode on side by slJo for about four miles , Morgan remarking upon tbo ncnuty and fertility of thu > country and occasionally asking a question of the cuptuln in regard to the dlstnncu they were from the Ohio river , whore the best fords were , what wus the latest news from Lsn , etc. Suddenly turning lo Cuplain Burulek , Morgan asked him if ho would accept the surrender of liU slclt , wounded and worn out soldiuia. The surrender - render was accepted. As Ihia march con tinued Morgaii , who leapt nn anxious oya on the horizon , observed a cloud of dust to his right and roar. Turn ing to Burbick ho asked Its moaning. Ho waa answered , ' 'It U union cavalry. " Mor gan scrutinized Iho moving mass Ihrough his glass n few minutes , then suddenly excusing himself roilo back IhroUtth his band , Ho re turned to tbo front in about llvo ininu'os and Proposed to Surrender his ontlro command lo Captain Burdlck or. condition that tbu men should retain ttioir side arms , bo passed and receive safe conduct out of the stalo. Captain Burdlok accepted the surrender of Morgan and bis command nn the conditions immeu. The confederates hud reached a point on tbo Hanover nnd West Point roaa Just where tfto Sallnovlllo and Now Lisbon roia crosses it at right angles. Morgan seeing the dust raised by approaching troops too1 ; a white handker chief from the breast pocket of bis blbuso and ticing it onto his riding slick fjavo it to Burdick ann told him to rldo quickly lo ( ho roar supposing ho would bo attacked from that point , nnd prevent the troops from llring on his men. Captaiu Burdlck started back through the mass ot kicking horses whoso riders bad dropped Into fence corners , to- tallv exhausted us soon us tbo order to sur render had been given. Ho bad nut gone far wnou ho saw his presence was needed in front rather than tuo rear. ( lust ily extricating himself from thu plunging animals ho threw down ulonco anil by a short dolour reached tbo front of tbo colnmuml witb tbu Hue of truco. As ho paused General Morganwho had i.ot moved his position , shouted , "Hurry up , boys , with that Hag of truco. " The union soldiers under Major Hue had come up a lane loading to tbo residence of David Crubaugh and formed 111 hatllo line along the orchard fence to tbo right. The line extended lo the lefcaeross Iho road and along the eastern edge of the clump of limber on Ibo left. A second Hag of truce was also sent out across u Hold to tno right , carried by Lieutenant C. D. Maus , the soout who was captured and bad been bold as a prisoner and guide by Morgan's men. Captain Burbick carried tbu tint : of trucu to tno union line where it crossed the biirhway. Here be was mot by Major Hue to whom ho stated tbo facts of Morgan's surrender to himself ( Bur- biok ) . Mujor Hue accepted tlio tarms of surrender and sent an aldo for General Sbackloford.who was at that time eating his dinner at a Mr. Patterson's , thrco miles away. General Shackloford came In all haste , but would not accent tbo terms of sur- rcndor , in fact refused to rocogniio any previous surrender. As General Shackle ford rode up , General Morgan was in trout of his command surrounded by bis ofllcors and shouted , "I Surrendered to Captain Hurbick. " The confederates were "disarmed , their muskets discharged.and loaded into wagons and hauled to Salinovillo , to which place Morgau and bis men were also taken immedi ately uftor their final surrender. From Saliuuvillo they were taken directly to Wellsvillo , where the privates were paroled ; Morgan and several ot his ofllccrs wcro sent io Iho Columbuj , O. , penitentiary on u charge of boncstcaling. From hero Morgan escaped uud later ou rejoined the con fedora to army and was killed September 4 , 1SUI , at Greenville , Tenn. The scene of tbo surrender was worthy of the brush of an artist. To the right was" the fertile valley of Beaver croak in all the tjoauty of early harvest ; bovond were ibo wooded hills from whoso summits could bo scon part of thu stales of Ohio , Pennsylvania und West Virginia , including a gllmpso of the valley of tbo Ohio river , wbila to tbo loft xvas uu alternation of ilno old woods and open Holds , orchards and well kept homes. The location of Iho surrender was on the farm of David Orubaugb , sltuaica on the West Point and ' Hanover roadand lying immediately west o'f tVestUeavorchurch , in Madison township , Columbian county , Ohio , six miles soutli from rsow Lisoon , nine miles east of Saline villo und ton miles north of Wellsvillo on tbo Ohio rlvor. The surrender occurred July 215 , ISfVJ , about - . p. m. Captain Burbick described General Mor gan's p'jrsonnl uppnaranco on tno dav of bin surrender as follows : Ho was six foot tall and , its near as bo could judge , would weigh 11)0 ) pounds , \Viinofnplmnllil I'r.i | > ortlonK , und carried no surplus llcsh. His dross con sisted of grav oiouso , grav pants , a grav flannel shirt nnd a broad planter's hut. General Morgan did not carry a sword and had nothing about him to indicate Ills rank. The ontlro command wuro completely worn out , having been almost constantly In the snucilo for twenty-live days , many of them weio sick , some ot thorn b'tdly wounded nnd all .suffering from want of slcop. No doubt tbu surrender must.havo been a irreat relief lo them. The entire number claimed lu his HUrrondor to Captain Burbick wasi'J. ; . This included tbo .sick nnd wounded. It is doubtful if tliero were 2UO moil of the entire band tit for duty ut Iho tlmo ofthosurrondor. There bus boon u great deal of controversy as to whom Morgan surrendered. Wbila no ono conversant with Ibo fuels will protoud to question that tbo near presence of tbo Penn sylvania und Michigan troops under com mand of General Shauklefora was the im pelling cause , the fact that Morgan did sur render to Cnptuin Durbiclras ubovo narrated Is unquestionably true.

MARTIANS HELD TO BE ANDROGYNOUS The Jinn tit Mnrs Very Different Prom the Man of Kmh-Tlimnoiiliy'1 Astron omy I'niitlon of Our World in the Unlvorno. ni Modern scicntis's 'linvo not yet proved that Mars is lnh&tift'6d , nnd , according lo thcosophy , they wljfg'pl bo" able to , for the reason that ages ago jtho people who lived on Man migrated to ou Invisible companion globe. Mrno. BlnvnWky.ln her "Secret Doc trine , "declares lhat , there nro several Marsoi , and that this Is equally true of every planot. A nlanot , in the occult philosophy , U ro- gar Jed as n being , ovary atom of which Is nllvo and bus a ro'iHciousnoss of Its own. The body of mans made up of oansulou molecules , nnd likewise Is tbo lifo of a planet "tho sum-total of nil the lives upon It. It Is donu-d that there U suou u thing as dead matter. ' Man Is sold lo exist on seven pianos of consciousness , or strata , of the universe , the lowest of which is tbo physical. An nstrnl piano has long boon postulated in tbo east , and modern scientists bnvo of Into years partially recognized this in admit ting the existence of what has been termed "lummlfurous other. " This astral or olbcronl pinna la said to bo the state next higher than the physical , and It is on this Piano , thcosophy claims , that thought takes form aud has actual oxlstonco. It Is by moans of this nnral light ihnt spiritualistic mediums produce phenomena and clairvoy ants sco 11'to Ibo past und compute tbo future. Matter Is declared to bo only the manifestation of the < ix liner forces. The 1 physical body must obov the mind , and In ihls philosophy the mind is given oxlslonco on unothar piano. So witb-tho germ of lifo. Mars nnd nil other heavenly bodloa nro said to be of the physical or lowest stratum , and p.ro the fourth of a septenary chain. Each ono of tbo Mars chain Is as much Mars as the ono visible from earth. Theosophy claims to have received Us teachings from mabattnas , porfoctwd mon who , according to Its teachings , having gained ovary experience on this oartb , were thorooy enabled to evolve out of tbolr physical oodles. These mahatmas , to help along humanity in Its evolution , returned to oarlh , which necessitated taking physical bodies again and subjecting themselves to rebirth. Tbo tbcosophlcal muhutmas do not claim to bo supernatural beings. It was their teaching through Mmo. Blavntsky that they nro only a stop further In evolution nnd that , having calnod all knowledge of this earth they can bundle liner forces in nut nro not known on the physical piano. The thcosophienl explanations offered as to Mars arc highly intoresilnif , says the Now York World , nnd at least uttnmpl to answer problems which materialistic scien tists admit tboy have no solution for. That they nro liio true explanation theosophlsts firmly bollovo , but tbev do not claim that "more thau glimpses of the condition or Mars ara kuown to the members of the Thcosophl- cul society , though the adopts are credited wllh being fully poslcd. Three secret oc- ault linrarios are believed to exist in remote regions of tbo east , which uro said to contain the history of every nnciont pooplo. It Is explained that tbo reason raoro Information mation is not given nut is because oectijt .science , unlike materialistic , is inter woven wilh ethics. Mars is said to have an occult connection with our oarlh , and n knowledge of Ibis would confer superhuman powers on iboso who understood it. So it is that to Initiates only is this higher informa tion given. Although Mara is capable of sustaining Illo , according to theosophy , no human beings pow live on this planet. The Mars wUlch wo sou la said to exist on'thu physical plane , mill * is therefore visible ) wilh Ibn physical eye or with material in struments. The sumo is true of all planets which uro visible. Mars is Iho only planet of its chain which is solid matter , and it is tbo lourth. The oUior six Marsos cannot bo seen from this oarili , but each would become - como visible from a planet on u. correspond ing piano of the oaribuhnin. It Is-the thoosopliical teaching that suns arc. the hearts of s.Vatoms and planets tbolr vital centers. Everything works under a law of cycles. Day and night , sleeping and waking , the ebb und How of tbo seasons , nro illustrations. Therefore , as Plato makes Socrates savin tho"Pbiuao. " "May it not bo that life nnd dcalQ ro also alternate ! " Man wakes und sleep * , and , according to theoso phy , be reincarnates. On the same principle , planets waite and sloop , nnd live and die , as do universes. Our moon was the last incar nation of our earth. Just on whloh of the six InvlslblO'planols tbo people of Mars llvo is known only to tha fow. It Is taught that seven great races In habit , say-en grand continents on each planet , tbu different races incarnating into each other. Wbontbo sovtuth race is evolved the planet goes lo sleep , nnd its inhabitants migrate lo tbo next invisible plauot of the chain , which , having difteront conditions , gives a cow Held of experience. Our earth Is said to bo the fourlh planet of its chain and. in its fourlh round. 1'hopros- ont inhabitants nro the fifth raoo. In this way It is explained why man on this earth has Hvo senses , flvo extremities , llvo vital centers In the t > ody. live Hngor.- , , toes , ato. On whichever of the seven planets tbo Martians may bo , Ihoy must bo a vary extra ordinary race. Ono of Iho best informed theosophists In this city , and ono who is of Mmo. Blavalsky's school , bolluvos that tbo people of Mars uro eltnor androgynous or nearly so. Mmo. Blavatsky plainly taught that the neople of Venus were In that state wboro each unit bad atlulucu Iho attributes of both soxcs- which Is Ihu true Plalo'iio marriage. It is taught that tbo inhaoilants of earth will attain ' .ho androgynous stale in Us next round , and that this Is essential to udvancea occultism. Claude Wright deus not think Flammarlou Horlous In the BUggoslion that the people of this earth inoarnatn on Mars , us brought out In ojio of tbo French astronomer's novels. Flammarion. who la a member of the Theo- Bophlcal socialy. could llnd nolhlng to verify that In Mmo. Blavataky'sSccrotDoctrine , " which work ho hifciily prizes. As to tbo appearance ot man on Mara , theosophlsts bollovo It a mistaken notion to pattern him after tbo roun of this oartb. rheosophists assort ihat wo of this oarlh were vaslly dilTuront In abapo and size in our earlier stages of evolution. In thcosopby the universe and overylblnc In it lb regarded as a unit , und from this springs the IIrat object of iho Thooiophlcal society : to form tbo nucleus of a universal brotherhood of man. Boliovinir that thought takes form on the aslral piano , It Is nrguod that a vail of thought-photographs hangs over n man nnd exerts n hypnollo in- Huunco over him ; that other charged with ovll plQluL'os Iniluoucos thu oarlh for evil , and that the com bined ovll of tha pictures ot a planet Influence * , other planou a > ono man influ ences another. Phobos und Doltnos , Iheosnpby leaches , are not moons belonging to Mars. A moon is ald to oo the mother of a planet , as our moon is Iho producer of our earth , uud. Is uut a shell sapped of iln vitality by transmigra tion , und must In tbo course of Umodls- Integrate ns thn mooes of .Murs , Venus and Mercury uro declared to bava dnno. No planet , according to this doctilno , can have two logillnmto moons. In Ibis connection occullsts noio Hut ; although modern scientists bold tbo wlsijom of Ihu nnclenls lu llttlo entcom , Ibo I wo nnlcllltos of Mars were known lo tno ancient Egyptians , but were discovered by moUuru sclcutlsis only re cently. - , As declared by Laplauo and Faya , Phobos moves lee quicklyto.pa n moon. Therefore u.s Fuvo saw , it diutroya the accepted theorv that PhobosYSS thrown oil by Mars. The bypulhoftU that moons wora molten massei thrown oftfrom , planets , and that planets wore thrown off irom a molten sun , bun no iilaco in ocuuocionce. | Thu inolion muss theory would luako ovolullou aimless and dupondriii upon'accident , they say ; whereas , In tbo occult philosophy , all is ys- tamuticully ouvdlont to inllexlolo law.

Biavauky taught that tbu sun was the biff older brother and not the father of tbo planou that rovolva around him , and that It ls not in a Uiu of oombuntluu , out Is a vehicle of iilrctncal forcai which trau - mlta the nvAlnnt enenry to the planoUi. The sun Is analogous to thn hum > in hnurt , which propels the llfo-llulil to all parts of thu body , The * un boats every eleven yoaM , us tbo heartbeats every second' and could the human heart bo made luminous , it Is claimed that It would snow corresponding upots.

When the nvorago render of Tni : BEK has this morsel dlgostod ho Is very upt to lay down nls paper and say "Pshaw 1" or some other word oxprosslvo of an Irritated Incredulity. I would say Just here to my republican friends ncd to such of my demo cratic friends as can "Heed" that the stalo- montls easily proven , and if they will ob tain the proper stalUttcs Ihoy will find the statement entirely correct. Escanuba U a beautiful city of 8,000 people , located on Green bay In a lund-lookcd harbor and has iho largest and most extensive ere docks in the world ; an average of 150 trains per day bring in their load of iron ere und this is what , uudor tbo fostering care of the MoKiuloy bill , makes Escannba tuch a ship ping point. Wisconsin mines , smells and uses in building Iho Iron whnlobacks an iui- mcnso nmountuf iron , nnd tha vast army of workman know far bettor than papers can tell thorn thai , but for Iho wise provisions of that much abused McICmloy bill , their mines would shut down and utter stagnation ensue throughout the entire nor born part of Wis consin und Michigan. Talking wltu Captain Scaducn , superintendent of ono-of the largo mines at Crystal Falls , Mich. , ho said : "I don't want to hear a word about democracy. Lot tbo doraocralio parly rule Iho counlrv nnd my bread and butter is gone ; mv men uro in good condition and own their own homes , Out they , nor I , want no democrats around here to lake our means of supoort from us. " Lot mo impress upon the working people of Nebraska tbo fact that the republican party , much abused as It is , Is tno only party that baa sought and is still soaking to make it posslulo tor every laboring mun to own liia own homo , by enabling those who employ to pay remunerative wages. You can hide th t fact uudor "forco" bills nnd other mystifying arcumonts , but it is today the only teal practical question before the American pooplo. Do you want protection to your industries and prosperity at homo , or free Irado and factories boarded up and .the land full of tramps , and other oountriei prospering at our expensei Ishpoming nnd Noguunu are towns of 13- , 000 a'nd 8,000 respectively and nro wholly built , lip and supported by iron mines ; close these mines up und tbo country would not Support a cat , much less a democrat. The "great unwashed" are Catherine hero today to go through the form of nominating a can didate for congress. Mr. Finn , the editor of a paper hero , scorns lo bo m Iho load , but I would pnoncr try lo prophesy what Jim Uill will do lhan what ibo average democratic convention will. I have made a wonderful discovery ; I have actually cured a case of buy fovor. It hap pened thusly. I haw u gentlemen got on the tram wllh a basket of trout * I Interviewed him. Ho looked trulhful. Ho said ho caught , not bought , thorn. I found out where it was , and then telegraphed a bay fever friend of ml no named Kelly to meat mo at such u pluco and wo would have a Hsu. Well , ho came , suffering severely from hay fjver. Wo Uarled out and after walking half a milo on poles over u swamp we took n boat and went to Hshing. I n.sked Kelly bow bis nuy foverwas ; "Very bad , " came tno rooly. Ton minutes nflor ho caucht a two- pound trout and two ml nut os later it one- pound one. "How are you'feeling , Kelly ? " 1 sang out. "Bettor keep still. " Three moro llsh were landed and I ventured again , "How's hay fever , Kelly I" "Bailor I tell you ; Keep still. " After four hours wo sized thorn up , forty-four elegant trout that weighed thirty-four and ono-quarlor pounds , and the hay faver was all gone. I'vo beard that $20 gold pieces were "good for sere oycs" but in this case two- pound trout boat & ! 0 gold pieces all hollow. I ran across a Nebraska man up here , nud In a conversation bo told mo the following story about a Nebraska town not a thousand miles from Omaha : The town of B was growing nnd possessed many of the requisite points of a "city" but was snort a cometory. Tbo town was "united" thut u comoiury must bo forthcoming , so ono wus purchased. Then tbo trouble began. They wcro all united ou tha point that they should have n fence , but what kind ) One-third of th'i town wanted n nickel fence , ono-tbird moro thought a good board fence would do , wbilo the balance said a strong Darbcd wire fence would coat loss and do us well. Politics , religion and scandal were forgot ten , nnd too moro It was discussed tbo move "sot1' tboy became. Finally u grand powwow was hold , una ns all sldns wcro firm , nnd u fence hud to bo made , matters - tors were compromised sand the ground fenced Ir. with one-third picket , one-third board and tbo balance wiro. My informant further added that inoro wasn't a republican In the town. It may bo news to your readers thai Michi gan possesses ibreo gold mines that are turning out a very ; good grade of ora. Some I saw ran as high ns f-'JU per ton , 1 Ocllovo that none are on a paying basis as yet , but they make "assessments , " winch m'ulways necessary In a well regulated mine.
