The local police arrested three men yester

all the rooms looking after the pipes , and i
taw minutes after ha had gone Miss Sprinl
missed her gold watch and other valuables

constitutional ainonduicnt recounted lia
passed. I Imvo no idoi ; ho will lliul cnoup'
YOIOH uncouutcil to make it u law , as the cii
cuuistaiifos arc very different from that c
the recounting a former amendment th
one the legislature is acting under at pre !
ent to allow members $ n l > cr day instead c
$11 , as before , and to sit sixty days instead c
forty. I suppose 1 am larRoly rosnonsiblo fc
that recount , and the facts are these :
Important amendments had been bcfoi
the people several times without being ca
rlcd , apparently through InditTercnci
not enough citizens caring about the tnatti
to express their opinions cither way. Tli
amendment of 188(1 ( wns in a different ilx ,
was pretty fairly voted upon , but throug
RTOSS carelessness of election ofllcers tli
vote was not entered on the ixill books , an
r consequently not returned to the county an
state canvassing boards. Attention wn
called to this by accident , as usual. M
partner in the \ asp at Wahoo , Mr. Bcatt ;
in looking up other matters disco' '
orcd a poll book of a Hohcmlii
precinct in which no return wha
ever was made on thu aincnclinci
question. lie did not think it possible In
that some votes must IMVO been cast or
way or the other on that amendment. Tli
wns during the session of the legislatur
tind on my return home my attention \vi
called to the matter , and n further Invest
gallon , and inquiry showed the same stai
of facts elsewhere. It was taken up in U
'Wasp and Senator Vandemark brought tl
question Iwforo the legislature. The i
formal evidence wo could gather seemed s
.strong that that body ordered the ballots ai :
poll books to bo sent to thu capltol to bo r
counted , nnd they were so counted under tl
< llrect supervision of the secretary of stat
Mr. I-Jiws , by clerks detailed from the d
imrtuienls of state , committee clerks and
few outsiders appointed , I bollovo. all undi
oath , and nearly all holding positions undi
the state that they were unlit for if tin
could not count this vote correctly , or wci
capable of falsifying the count.
It was found that many precincts made i
record of the constitutional vote , or 01
grossly incorrect , owing to the carelessne :
with which the "yes'1 or ' 'no" hi
been scratched on the ticket by the vote
but the principal omission was in a tot ,
ju-gloct to enter this vote on the poll book
Apparently in the fight for local and oth <
ofllces this vote was overlooked ; oven tn tl
Krcat city of Omaha two or thrco wan
failed to make return on said voto.
There was some excuse for inexperience
election oflleers in the fact that our popul
tlon Just at that time had increased so su
< lonly that not enough poll books of th
year with a printed form for thoamcndmon
were on hand , and a number of old boo !
were sent out not so printed , taking it f
gra nteU that the precinct omeers would wri
u the proper words and record the von
They did not , as a ruin , and the reeou
honestly showed enough such errors , whlc
reclined , carried the amendment as it stan
today , nnd the only ono wo over havocarrU
It has hcen Intimated , and In your paj
Among others , that this recount was 11
fair ; that thcro was some Job in it , Plea
look nt the facts , U could do the
members of that legislature no good , ns
they did not nrollt by It. What
Interest could the young men taken out of
the oflk'd , and the committee clerks
have In making a fnbto record t They could
not hope to nil become members of n future
irglslnturo and got the f3 per day or any
other emoluments , nnd they work under
oath to do their fluty.
As for myself , I never thought of the fl
( 2 Increase ) n day , or the wording of the
amendment and had nothing to do with its
make-up. I was simply , nsn cltbr.cn of Ne
braska , Indignant nnd felt outraged to think
that our people wcro so careless or Incompe
tent that wu could not got n fair return on
an Imiwrtant amendment , and when I had
icason to bellovo that thcro was nn error In
the count I "whooped it up" for all It wns
worth until the legislators took hold , and
the result Justified us and should bo an ob-
icct lesson to the state for nil time but It
has not been , apparently. I have never re
ceived so much ns "thank you" from anyone
since , if the expense and time must ba ex
pended again to call the people's attention
to tholr own negligence cither in voting
ing or counting Mr. Jan sen's bill
Is all right ; gonhcad with your counting , and
let us have the truth. But the difference In
the two situations Is this : The election of
1830 was a comparatively quiet and unexcit
ing election. Wo voted on separate ballots
( if I recollect ) , pains wcro taken to call the
voters' attention to the amendment nnd they
voted on It pretty fairly , Uut many local
onices wcro at stake , nnd In the counting late
at night- men tired and sleepy after they
ascertained how their particular friends
canio out the amendment was overlooked.
This election was an exciting national and
local one ; wo voted untlisr a different ballot ,
with the amendment almost "out of sight"
In the yard long list of names , so Unit it was
probably overlooked in the voting , rather
than In the counting. The omission In trail
books Is not likely to occur again , so that
this recount will hardly change the result ,
but. If our people must , have another object
lesson , go ahead.
It points to ono conclusion : some better
method of appointing Judges and clerks of
elections Is needed. Hotter men nnd better
places of holding important elections , nnd a
count every hour , so that the late , sleepy ,
nxhnustcd work may bo avoided. Look at
It : The result of n long , expensive , harassIng -
Ing campaign , perhaps , nullified or changed
by a few hour's work of incompetent , tired
out or reckless men In the very last stage of
the game , nnd the most important. Very
respectfully , JOHN A. MAcMuitrur.
HAWAIIAN INTRIGUE.
Kurtltrr Light from Dr. Uurycn About Mill-
lutorMmlth'H MUilon.
OMAHA , Feb. I ) . To the Editor of TUB BBB :
I have read the report of a conversation
with your reporter concerning the situation
in the Hawaiian Islands. As to the main
facts It Is substantially correct , but It may
make n false Impression' two or thrco
points.
Dr. Smith nnd his sister came to this
country in the interest of the churches on
the island of Hawaii and also to secure
means for the establishment of tin industrial
school for native youths of both sexes. Their
efforts were entirely successful.
Meanwhile it was their endeavor to spread
information in this country which might
prepare the minds of our public men for
Intelligent action , should there bo a crisis in
the affairs of the islands. The citizens ol
Hawaii of American descent were alrcadj
anxious and often conferred together. There
was , however , no public action , nor was
thcro any intention to take the initiative Ir
any movement designed to disturb the exist
ing government.
Dr. Smith did not propose any policy or
the part of our government , nor did liny per
son connected with the government contcm
plate any aggressive act tending toward interference
torferenco in the affairs of thu islands. Hi !
object was to enable persons of influence
hero to percclvo the complications whlcl
were likely to appear and bo ready to form i
Judgment In view of them at the righ
moment.
It Is distinctly to bo understood that Dr
Smith did not anticipate any design on tin
part of the white people to Invltn the inter
vention of a foreign power. They simplj
foresaw that circumstances might at an'
moment occur which would favor a crisl :
precisely similar to that which is now pro
scntoli , and then' the question" ns to tin
future relations of the islands to other coun
tries would como up for settlement.
It was natural that the majority of thi
wnlto people being Americans by birth o
descent would prefer to see the islands ii
close relations with our government , and i
it should finally appear to bo praetlcubli
connected with our country. The fathers o
some of them had been missionaries of tin
American board , to which the civltizatioi
of the Islands is duo. The father
of some of them were the f miner
of the excellent constitution and laws undo :
which they wcro living. Nor needltbodeniei
that they were deeply interested in the pros
perlty of this country and aware of tin
value to our commerce of u close conncctioi
witli the islands and to our general interest
of the control of the key point in the Pacitl
ocean.
Thcro can bo no doubt that in the event o
the probable occupation of the islands b ;
some power they would welcome the advcn
of our government.
The object of the conversation of yestei
day was to show that the question before ou
government at this moment is n very larg
and Important one , and .that the movcmcn
which has led up to it is not the result of th
plot of a faction , murh less the selfish plai
of certain sugar planters , but is the issue o
the logic of events. It was sure to cornea
some time. It is as well that it should com
now.
General Armstrong of the Hampton Instl
tuto , himself a native of the islands am
familiar with all the circumstances , says
' The recent Hawaiian revolution is the logl
of events , the result of irresponsible powc
in bad and incompetent hands. Tin
Hawaiian queen Is utterly unscrupulous
without character , capable of any extrein
folly or wickedness to attain her ends. Sh
is intelligent , knows what is right , has hai
an excellent cabinet , but preferred evil ad
visers. Her restoration to power would nieni
the destruction of the progressive element i
Hawaiian life , and the collapse of al
hope for that people. The situation is nov
most critical. Great commercial dcvoloj :
monts are expected from the completion o
the Nicaragua canal. Enormous prospective
American interests are at stako. Th
United States must now secure control o
Hawaii , the most Important strategic
In the Northern Pacific ocean , or Knglam
will get it. The commission sent from th
Hawaiian islands to bring about an nnnoxn
tlon to the United States is composed o
most high-minded and estimable men , whor
I have long known personally. Mt
Dole , the provisional president , 1
ono of the best men. Amei
lean people , capital , ideas , and influcnc
largely predominate there. The populatlo
is a curiously mixed cno , containing man
Asiatics hard to assimilate , malting the slti :
ation difllcult , indeed desperate. America
missionaries were instrumental In the r <
demption and building up of Hawaii. It
political redemption is now as much a
American duty as its moral redemption eve
was. The United States government shoul
act witli vigor and promptly annex th
Hawaiian islands , "

TWO LINCOLN FAILURES
G , 8. Kelley & Oo.s' Hardware Store Closed
"WhiloTaking Invoice. "
HOW THE PRESENT TROUBLE OCCURRED
Columbian Tailoring Compnny Cauie *
Little Incitement In l.nncniitor Cotiiitf
Commercial Circles Creditors
Not Satisfied with the Dcnl.
* , Neb. , Feb. 0. [ Special to Tnn
BEK. ] The hardware store of O. S. Kclloy
& Co. of 10J3 O street boars on its front
door the legend , "This store closed while
taking invoice. " It develops , however , that
the real cause of the close up is the fact
lhat Kelly , Maus & Co. of Chicago held n
chattel mortgage for $3,520.23 and the Loo-
Clarkc-Andrcsen Co. of Omaha hold one for
* 323.70. There are also claims loan un
known amount , but it is evident that they
exceed Iho assets.
The failure is said to bo duo to the man
ipulation of the firm's books by tholalo busi
ness manager , J. F. Hayden , who some
months ago sold his holdings to T. Milton-
bcrgcr. Haydcn was formerly n member of
the firm of Hayden & Flanlgan , out of the
ruins of which the present corporation had
boon bulldcd. Ho had subscribed for $10,000
worth of slock in Iho now company , but
while the others had paid in full , ho had
only turned in $100 on the stock account.
ho discovery that the firm was heavily in-
olvcd was made only a few weeks ago. and
llhough Kelley Iricd his host to straighten
> ut matters ho couldn't succeed , and so gave
t Into cliumo of the principal creditors. The
'limmons Hardware company of St. Louis
led an attachment for $50' ) today. .
The Columbian Tailoring company , a
ihowy establishment which turned out cheap
lothlng , has also failed. The concern was
'un ' by Sanderson & Drown , the former hav-
ngcharco of the Lincoln store and Brown
if the Topeka branch. Some weeks ago at-
achmcnt suits wcro begun against the
' 'opoka house and the fact was wired hero.
Claims poured In , but when presented at
ho store the head cutter gave out the
assuring Information that Mr. Sanderson
, vas out of the city , but would return in a
Tow days. No action was taken pending his
arrival until the German National bank ,
which holds a ? T > 00 claim , began attachment
proceedings. When an attempt was made to
servo them the head cutter pulled out a bill
of sale executed some weeks before to C. Al-
linan & Co. of Chicago , and Informed the
creditors that ho was In possession for the
new firm. While the attorneys were debat
ing what to dy they were starllcd by Iho in
formation that the concern had packed nil
Its goods and they were Ihen at the depot
awaiting shipment. Attachment pai > crswero
served , but the officers failed to respond to
the railroad " company's invitation to come
down and identify the goods , and they were
shipped away. The concern Is also said to
have a branch in Sioux City.
On n Serious Charge.
The police arc gradually weaving a wel
around John Murray , the man arrcsled lasl
night on the suspicion of being the assailant
of Mrs. Berry , an actress connected wltli
the McCann-Ivcndall company , playing al
one of the local theaters. Murray's wife
whom ho had on several occasions threat
ened to kill , is nn employe at the same hole
at which Mrs. Berry boarded , and bears t
close resemblance in form and features t (
the woman assaulted. The police theory i ;
lhat he thought It was his wife , and mad <
the assault. It is evident that ho mean
murder , as the woman's head was cut to th <
bone , and she would have undoubtedly beci
killed had she not held her hands over he :
head when ho struck. As it was two of hoi
lingers were broken , and the others badl ;
cut and mangled.
Murray lives at Twcnty-sevculh and Clin

WHAT IS MESMERISM ?
lr. Crnmmer r.lven the View of High Miull-
cnl Authority.
OM/IIA. l-"ob. a To the Editor of Tun
Bne : Prof. Reynolds' statement In his
interesting interview on hypnotism that
medical men of prominence are Just
beginning to recognize. It ( hyp
notism ) nnd use it in their professional work
Is to n certain extent misleading. It does
not give the true position of doctors in re-
ffard to the subject.
It Is evident that Prof. Reynolds sees the
necessity of throwing an air of mystery
around the matter in order to make his
special field of work successful and remuner
ative , and naturally not , much expenditure of
brain force is required In this direction , con
sidering how little the average layman
knows of the subject.
Dr. Charles L. Dana of New York , an
eminent specialist in nervous nnd mental
diseases , has in a recent text-book on these
subjects described hypnotism ns follows :
"Hypnotism Is a morbid mental state
artificially produced and characterized by :
(1) ( ) Perversion or suspension of conscious
ness. ( 'J ) Abeyance of volition. ( ! ) ) A con
dition of suggestibility leading the patient
to yield readily to commands or external
sense impressions , and (4) ( ) intense concen
tration of the mental faculties upon some
Idea or feeling.
"Men are almost as easily affected as
women'but ; persons of n docile mind and
tlioso trained to some degree of mental
discipline and capacity 'for ' submission , such
as soldiers and artisans ; lire more sensitive.
In this country the percentage of hypnotlza-
blc subjects is less tluui it is in Europe.
Hysterical and insane persons are not very
susceptible. Those who have been mesmer
ized once are more castoaffected afterwards
and may even pass into' the state Involun
tarily. " '
After describing various methods of In
ducing the state ho says ; "Hypnotic states
may bo self-Induced by 'rigorously ' fixing the
attention upon some object. The ecstatic
states of the saints anri'Tho nirvana of the
Buddhists are forms of .hypnotism ; so also
arOj.tho trance statcy * . into which some
clairvoyants and spiritualistic preachers
place themselves : tltif aamo curious pho-
nomon is at the bottom of the so-called
"mind-healing" scloncoj , ' and it enters into
rational therapeutics ilnd orthodox religion.
The capacity of the human mind for hypnot
ism or soml-hypnotjo states Is , therefore , a
most curious and Important fact. "
In giving the symptoms ho says : "Tho
patient will now respond automatically tp
any outside command or will bo dominate ! )
by any idea which Is suggested to him. He
will talker walk , or run , or gesticulate ,
nssumo expressions ofright , anger or joy
entirely in acco-danco with the command
given. Apart from these commands he is
entirely dead to the outside world. He
hears , sees , smells , tastes and feels nothing.
Ho can bo burned , cut or injured without
showing any. signs of feeling. At a sugges
tion he may be mudo catalcptic.somnnmbulic
or paralytic. This state is termed somnambu
listic trance. If left to himself , ho gradually
sinks into a deep sleep , from which ho can
with diniculty bo roused. After a time
rarely more than ono or two houis. he
awakes as from ordinary slumber. This
latter state is called trance-coma , or lethur-
cio hypnotism. The attempts of the Cbareot
school to divide hypnotic phenomena int (
thrco forms , the somnambulic , cataleptic ant
lethargic , are hardly .successful. Sensitive
subjects can bo thrown ntonco into lethargy ,
catalepsy or somnambulistic states ut the
command of the operator.
"Thophenomena of hypnotism depend upon
the wonderful sensitiveness and quickness ol
the subject in responding involuntarily , with
all his nervous energy-to outside suggestion.
Dishonest persons may learn the latter trick
and thus simulate the hypnotic state. Trav
eling mesmcrizcrs utilize such persons
largely , hence no confidence can bo placed in
the phenomena exhibited by them. "
This Prof. Dana calls major hypnotiza-
lion. Mesmerists usually claim that thcit
subjects'will como out of the hypnotic state
.without aid. Physicians who liavostudied It
/carefully know that they will sleep nn hout
or two and then recover.
In regard to the effects of this condition on
the patient , Dr. Dana asserts thafhypnotisn
Is no doubt associated with changes in the
vascularity of different parts of the brain
and with rapid breaking-down of nervt
tissue. Animals constantly subjected tc
hypnotic influence become demented.
The state of major hypnotism is probablj
pathological. It is a neurosis. Minor hyp
notlo states are but slightly removed fron
the normal , and their production is not in
Jurious. "
After giving some tests for detecting slmu
lation. the author thus refers to Its employ
ment for the cure of diseases : "Tho practice
of using major hypnotization Is Injurious
tending to exhaust the nervous force ant
weaken the will. It should bo done onlj

"Tho induction of minor hypnotic states by
suggestion Is not harmful If carefully ami
nodcrately employed , its practical results ,
lowevcr , arc not great , nnd the method Is
odious , uncertain , nnd sometimes ridiculous.
t has Its value In pedagogy , among children ,
n ncurasthonu ami morbid habits , The gen
eral popularization of hypnotism by means of
nlmf-curcs , Christian science , Me. , nccom-
illslies Its result ut the expense of mental
demoralization : and faith-healing Institutes
arc moro pernicious elements in society than
gin mills. "
Evidently the same views ns to the harm-
'ulncss of the Induction of the hypnotic state
nro maintained nbrond , for some European
countries have forbidden public exhibitions
ns a protection to the people whoso morbid
curiosity will lend them to shatter their ner
vous systems In such useless experiments.
The professor's claim of some inborn or
God-Riven quality in his own person Is the
veriest bosh. The phenomena nro entirely
subjoetivo , duo to the condition of the pa
tient's nervous systcrrH
Dr. Beard said years ago that the almost
universal belief that the mesmeric form of
emotional trance is caused by some force or
lutd ( animal magnetism ) passing from the
body of the operator into the body of the
subject Is as far from the truth as any view
on any subject can | > ossibly be.
In producing this form of trance , Indeed ,
the presence of the operator or mngnetlzer ,
so called , is not needful ut till ; any influence
or circumstance that the subject expects
will put him Into a trance is liable to produce
that effect , particularly If. as is usually the
case , the emotions of wonder and fear are at
the same time acted upon.
As to the nu'dlcal virtues of hypnotism ,
the public ought to bo assured that the con
servative stand outlined above Is endorsed by
; ho profession almost universally. Prof.
Dana has n largo hospital experience , bus
studied the subject carefully and Is a man
who would reject no means of curing the sick
that held out any reasonable pros-
> ect of success. On the othcrhaml , the edu
cated physician will in these investigations
usually detect and denounce the harmful and
damning effects on the human system which
the traveling mesmerist , who is in the busi
ness for gain , overlooks or purposely ignores.
