L. W. Wakeley, general pnasenger agent
of the Burlington, who, accompanied by
Qeneral Freight Agent Ppcns nnd George
Bommem of Chicago, nsxMtant to V'lco
TreHldfnt Wlllnrd, ha been making an ex

cf the Burlington, returned Saturday morn
Ing. leaving Mr. Fpcns and Summers to
continue on a more extensive trip to
Denver and Salt Ijike C'ltr.
"The Worlnnd extension Is gnlng right
along and the line Is being ballasted n
fast as built," wild Mr. Wnkeley. ' Plenty
of splendid ballast Is enHlly obtainable on
the Cody road, near the trark. The Hunt
ley Irrigation project of the Yellowstone Is
progressing. This will be the first Irriga
tion scheme to be built In he Crow reser
vation, watering about ffi.flOO acres, and a
man who draws an eighty-acre prize at
that drawing will have something worth
having, for the land will be worth $70 an
acre at the time-of the drawing.
I,ond of Wnnderfnl nesourrea.
"The whole IU Horn country, as well
aa the Yellowstone nnd Crow agency Is
a land of wonderful future development
and settlers are flocking In all the time.
The whole northwest Is awake to the
opening of the Shoshone reservation this
ummer and thousands will be on hand to
take a chance at drawing an eighty or
ISO-acre tract Besides the agricultural
possibilities from Irrigation the mountains
are known to contain a vast amount of
mineral wealth. On the day we went Into
the basin a capitalist from Beaumont,
Tex., was on the same train with several
oil experts, who had a car load of ma
chinery for the purpose of developing oil.
The Shoshone mountains and the Kerwln
district are attracting many Interested In
mining, who are hunting the mining pos
sibilities. "Sheridan Is all worked up over the pros
pects of a beet sugar factory which Is prac
tically assured. Former Superintendent
Gillette Is finishing up a deal with the
reclamation service which will bring to
Bheridan all the water that country needs
for Irrigating a large section between the
Bis; Horn mountains and Sheridan.
Wealthy men are behind the enterprise for
the construction of ditches and the develop
ment of water rights. This combination
will assure a sut;ar factory for Sheridan
and will likewise furnish ample water for
ditches already constructed.
Corbett Dam Nearly Finished.
"Tho Corbctt dam, a part of the govern
ment work across the Shoshone river, Is
under way and will be completed without
waiting for the construction of the great
dam west of Cody. This will probably be
ready by 19u7 and will Irrigate about 30,600
acres between Corbett and Frannie. Cattle
have wintered well this winter and are In
good condition, the ranges also beginning
to look green after a dry winter.
The windup of the colonist rates April
7 and 8 put a large number of people Into
that country and made a whirlwind finish
of the largest colonist business ever done
by thU road."
Stlcknejr to Inspect.
President A. B. Stickney and all of the
chief officials of the Chicago Or eat Western
are scheduled to arrive in Omaha April 20
on a tour of inspection of the road. Some
time will be spent in the city looking over
the terminals at this place and in confer
ence with the Commercial clubs of Omaha
and Council Bluffs. President Btlckney Is
till greatly Interested In the Omaha grain
market and will give some time to the
grain men while here. His road la still
maintaining the through rates on export
grain and is hauling more grain east than
any other Omaha road at the present time.
Delays to Tralna.
Trains to the west and northwest were
all delayed Thursday because of the sleet
and snow, accompanied by high wind, but
the wires along all the roads have been
repaired and the trains are again running
under telegraphic orders. Several of the
trains were a few hours late, hut all suc
ceeded in getting through without acci

with Omaha only getting a touch of the
cold which accompanied the storm. Freci

LIVELY TIME AT A SEANCE
British Army aad Nary Officers Caleb
Fakir Who Impersonates
Spirits.
LONDON, April 14. Light, the official
organ of the spiritualists, continues It
exposure of spiritualistic "fakes." This
time the exposure Is made by Lieutenant
Colonel Mark Mayhew and Rear Admiral
W. Usborne Moore, who have caught Mr.
Craddork, one of the best known mediums
In the spiritualistic world, impersonating
spirit forms.
The story, told graphically by Lieuten
ant Colonel Mark Mayhew, la as fol
lows: Being anxious to witness the phenome
non of materialization my wife and t
were tnken by some friends of ours to
Mr. Crad'lock s house at Tinner, to take
part In a seance. We went In perfect
confidence and without a shadow of sus
picion, but by the time the seance wis
over we were forced to the conclusion
that the whole thing was unadulterated
fraud.
The room In front of us was pitch dark.
and behind the circle It was slightly Il
luminated by a red photographic lantern.
After an address by the medium sup
posed trance voices of an unquestionably
"ventriloqulal" character began. They
could easily be recognized as the
medium's voire disguised.
After somewhat lengthy Intervals,
forms, purporting to be relations of sit
ters, came round the circle Illuminating
their faces with luminous screens. Mont
of these bore a striking resemblance to
one-another and were "fakes" of the most
obvious character the false beard, mus
tache etc., being badly stuck on and
would have done poor credit to a fourth-
inie luarioiieiic allow.
line or two forms pretending to be
relations I had never had came to me,
and a little child to my wife, calling
her "mother" we had never lost a child!
My wife and 1 were forced to agree that
tne perrorrnance was a fraud.
we went again the week after and the
same characters were impersonated, 1. e..
Dr. Green, Dr. Arnold, Sister Amy, La
Belle Cerise and Joey Orfmaldl. Again
the same miserable farce took placo,
which could only find its parallel in thj
gullibility of some of the sitters, one
lady remarking to her husband as a form
came to them, "Why, It's your father!"
and he the husband answered, "Why, so
It Is no It Isn't: It's mother!"
"Joey" Informed me that one of the
. - ' - a,. . it. j i. Ii.lll. -I . TT 11.', x
am glad to say, Is alive, and for her, very
well. I therefore determined to expose
W'hat I was convinced was fraudulent
and having obtained an Invitation for my
wife, self and friend, the Hon. Dudley
Carleton (late Ninth Lancers), we at-
tenueu at i-inner, paying tnirty shillings.
i ne usual impersonations were made.
Joey" announced that Mr. CarletniVa
mother was present Lady Dorchester be
ing alive and welll A small piece of
mirror was handed round and we were
asked to believe it was spirit light.
An old person with a stuck-nn whlta
beard went to one and then another and
then there came to me a form with a
turned-up white collar, evidently stage
property. He came quite close and I
immediately seised him by the arms. He
struggled violently, and unable to sret
away threw himself backwards into the
caoinet, pulling me with him.
1 called for light from Mr. Carleton,
who carried a small electric lantern, and
I found the person I had seized vu Mr
Craddock himself. Some confusion fol
lowed and the medium was recognized
in the light.
A Mr. Rodd, who was present, saw him
remove the false mustache and place It
in ma pocaei. i men released him, and
his wife concealed him behind tho cur
tain. He then pretended to go under
control of Dr. Graen. who exnreaaed rila.
approval of the proceedings.
Rear Admiral Moore, who was In charge
now, assumed command, with the ap-
vivi ui an, ana appointed a searon
committee to search the medium and his
wife.
The door was locked and the key given
to Admiral Moore. The lamp was
lighted, and I found a small electrlo
torch, evidently used for "spirit" lights
In a drawer in the cabinet, which, when
examined by several, before the seance,
had been empty. The medium, however,
refused to be searched and ordered us
out.
Mrs. Cradock attacked Admiral Moore
with a fire shovel In her attempt to get
the key from him. Admiral Moore again
demanded a search from Craddock, who
placed himself In fighting attitude and
threatened to "set about" any one who
touched him.
Everything possible was done for some
time to get the medium to submit to a
search, but although the admiral begged
him for the sake of his wife and child
and his reputation, he absolutely refused.
The admiral then told him we could only
conclude he was a fraud, to which he
said: "Call me what you like, you shall
not search me now." The medium offered
a teat seance at a future date.
Mr. Carleton, Mr. Rodd and my wife
give me full leave to state that they
concur In every way In the denunciation
of Craddock aa a trickster. He may
have been, may be now a medium, but
1 say without doubt that on this occa
sion he was caught red-handed imper
sonating spirits.
NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Italian Doctor Announces Remedy for
' Disease Heretofore Beyond
Power of Medlclae.
LONDON, April 14. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) An Italian doctor, the Chev
alier Cesare Ballabene, has Just announced
to the Therapeutical society of London
that he has discovered a new and certain
cure for gout, rhematUm and obstinate
neuralgia. The theory Is said by the doc
tor to contain ideas new and startling.
An exhaustive paper on the subject has
just been read by an English colleague of
the chevalier, the latter' acquaintance
with the English language not being suffl
clently Intimate to allow him to undertake
the task.
Dr. Ballabene, however, avers that he
has come to England for the purpose of
relieving sufferers from the ailments men
tioned, which he claims are rendered espe
cially acute by the cold and damp climate.
He belteveu In the theory that the pri
mary cause of rheumatic and gouty dis
eases is an Infectious element, probably
composed of micro organisms circulating
In the blood. 1 For the destruction of these
microbes he has prepared a chemical com
pound which, he asserts, has proved most
efficacious.
At first he experimented on frogs and
rabbits, and then tried his remedy on hu
man patients. Of 1,800 people In Italy and
Germany, of ages varying from to S3
years and Illnesses dating from a few
months to thirty years, W per cent were
completely or partially cured.
The treatment is hypodermic, and Dr
Ballabene confidently states that neuralgic
and rheumatic patients are virtually cured
after a few days and no bad results follow.
The preparation Is injected by means of
the common Pravats syringe by Intro
ducing the needle deep into tho muscular
tissues.
The Imposing name of "Anthralgonlcon'
has been given to the new remedy. It la
a Greek word, meaning "the vanquisher
ot pain," and is appropriately applied it
the compound effects all that its discoverer
claims for It.
The paper was very favorably received
by the society and many Inquiries Were
addressed to Dr. Ballabene on the subject
of the effects produced by the remedy.
which were considered to be satisfactorily
answered.

BOER LEADERS ARE BITTER
Oaa Speaker Declnree that Tran
srlrnta should Have So Voice
la Government.
JOHANNESBURG, April H.-Speclal Ca
blegram to The Bee.) The Boer leaders
have been acting with amazing Indiscretion
recently and the end is not yet. At a re
cent meeting of Het Volk at Pretoria
speeches of a most violent character were
delivered by Messrs. Smuts and Hey era.
Large portions of these discourses were
taken up with an abuse of Lord Mllner.
Mr. 8muts also made a furious attack on
the mining Industry, which he said was by
no means a necessity to the best Interests
of the country. Mr. Smuts attempted a
forecast of his Ideas regarding the future
of Het Volk and the future ot the country.
"It would be the work of a Het Volk gov
ernment," he said, "to try Its utmost for
Us ex-civll servants. They must be put
back Into their old positions' He also de
clared that the miners of the Rand wbo
might be oft tomorrow for Australia or the
Klondike ought to have no show In the leg
islation of the colony.
Mr. Smuts echoed General Delarey's con
tention that the state treasury should be
thrown open for tUe benefit of the Boers,
saying that If the riiillions promised by the
mine owners in respect to the war debt
were handed to the inhabitants of the coun
try to enable them to have a chance of (jet
ting on their feet again they could all ex
ist. The resolutions passed by the meeting
expressed satisfaction at the cancellation
of the recently promulgated constitution
and at the grant of Delf-government to the
Transvaal and Orange River colony. Only
a few weeks ago Mr. Essellng hinted for
the first time In public at the possibility of
the Boers being in power and ridiculed the
idea that such an event would be prejudi
cial to the country. Mr. Smuts, uncon
cerned with the necetisity of concealing
anything, had gone a step farther.

UP-TO-DATE BANKERS CATCH ON

"The Stocking Room" la a Denver Insti
tution and "warm money" Is plentiful.
Out of deference to their fair deposi
tors, to whom fashion dictates few pock
ets, but who have many mysterious places
about their persons wherein to conceal
their money, many of the Denver banka
have private rooms where such conceal
ment may be made. "Ladles' Parlors."
they are called by the modest Denvente,
who would blush to think of the promi
nent part tha: the stocking plays in bank
ing. But this dainty piece of feminine wear
ing apparel does play a big part In bank
ing. A polite young man, secretary and
treasurer of one of the trust companies,
tells bow he came to put In a ladles' par
lor." "On day about five years ago," he said,
"a very handsome woman came Into our
bank. First she looked about her uncer
tainly and then she stepped to my desk.
'Young man.' she said, "is this what you
call a modern bank?' I humbly expressed
my opinion that it was. "Well, It's either
way behind the times or the women don't

In great contempt. Then she sized up my
little office, looked me over, smiled and
said:
" 'My husband Insisted that I should do
my banking here. Now, young man. If
you will kindly step out of your office
for about two minutes, close the door and
stand watch outside, I might make a lit
tle deposit with your people.'
"I meekly got out. But when she stepped
out and handed me about a dozen bills of
the biggest denomination ever Issued by
Uncle bam a great light struck me. The
bills were warm.
"Since that time we have taken over the
counter Immense sums of raoney that have
that warm feeling. We now have a reg
ular suite of ladles' rooms. Stocking room?
Oh, no, not altogether. Some times they
carry their money elsewhere." And he
meaningly folded his arms across his
breast.
As a general rule the trust companies
have equipped themselves with these lit
tle offices for ladles, and the big national
banks have not.
The International Trust company has a
full suite of pretty rooms fitted up for the
ladles' taste. There are locks on the doors,
thick carpels on the floors and the furni
ture is Just what a woman might pick out
for her private boudoir.
Across the hall the n.agniQcent First Na

room which women might call their own.
