A glove contest between George Bennett and Frank Gudger is billed to take place Monday evening. Tuesday evening the East bound passenger train was wrecked near tileuu's Ferry. The chair car, sleeper and tourist cars were .ditched. Five or six persons were injured, but none seriously. The accident was caused by a broken axle on the baggage car. James Patton who has the contract to take out the petition in the Armory Hall has completed the inside work, and the room is now ready for the Militia boys to spread themselves on drill nights or entertain their friends with a grand ball. Eev. J. II. Barton will be absent the next three Sundays. His pulpit ■will be supplied by Rev. D. A. Clemens of Lower Boise, and the evening of the following Sunday by Rev. M. H. Mend of Nampa.

Yesterday another company consisting of Rev. and Mrs. E. N. Murphy, Rev. and Airs. Wharton of Boise, Mr. and Mrs Bar ton, Miss Abby F. Hull arid Lou Craig of Caldwell started. HYPNOTISM. Prof. Holzel's hypnotic exhibition In the Opera House Thursday evening was unfortunate iu that his influence did not seem to extend beyond Iiis travelling companions. It was cer tainly not a satisfactory demonst ration, although there were two fairly good tricks; yet none beyond the scope of old time legerdemain. The putting of a subject into the rigor mortis state— stiffness of death—is a trick the writer saw performed 30 years a go by an apostle of the "black art" who made no pretentions to hypnotic powers. However we will not undertake to say that in this instance hypnotism had nothing to with the perfomance. The difiiculty with Professor Holzel's de monstrations were that he did nothing with the aid of his alleged subtle power which has not beeu don« without it,ex cept of course the putting of subjects to sleep, which if genuine, was all right. T he suspicion is though that there was not much genuineas about it. At any rate there is a suspiciou. Mr. Cooper who went upon the stage and submit ted to the professor's "passes" says he felt not the slightest twinge of hypnotic or other influence, except a'strong desire to make a speech on the iinancial question to the rather slim audience so as, lu a measure, to compensate for the dreariness of the regular program. Lawrence Uipson also submitted to the mesmerist, but was a most unsympathetic subject. Even his back refused to itch. But then it is a pretty hard undertaking to put a widewake Calciwe lite to sleep which probably accounts for the pro fessor's failures. The Boise people may more readily, s^pk the_ drowsy god. The verdict is quite general that Prof. Holzel is a fake but that conclusion may be a little severe. The Tribune withholds tinal judgment pending the result of last night's performance. ON POWDER RIVER. PUc«r Enterprise on That Streim Now in Optr itim Dr. J. W. Bartlett and Judge Ol den have returned from trips to the Powder river placer mine and to the opal mine in which Dr. Bartlett is the chief owner. The work at the Pow der river enterprise is being pushed rapidly forward. The company has located all the ground along Powder river for a distance of 3even mile*, at the upper end of which they divert their water. From this point they h^ve a flume to the mouth of the river where the principal work is pow being done. This flume has only.beea com pleted a short time aud the ground has been worked only a few w?eks. The end of the flume is nearly 100 feet above the bar, giving a good pressure for the giant. The water is played on the bank and bar from a three-inch nozzle and about a quarter of an acre has beefi worked, the pay grouud hav ing been just reached. A cleanup will be made In a few days. The bar is on the upper side of the junction of the Powder and Snake rivers, and was formerly known as the Shaw bar. I)r. Bartlett expects to start dev elopment on the opul mine by the first of August. He is now waiting for Boston parties who are interested with him and as soon as they arrive work will be planned. He will favor sinking the shaft at least 50 feet be low the present level before he will be satisfied. The color of the opal will improve with depth and he thinks at this depth rare ones will be found. This will.make the shaft about 80 feet deep.—Statesman. FOUND IN THE COLUMBIA.
