SONS HYPNOTIZED BY THEIR MOTHER

Three Strapping Men Strong and Healthy Have Remained in Bed for Years TKY WERE IN FEAR OF DEATH Have Been ted to Believe That, Bhould They Qet Out of Bed, Death Would Follow—Physicians Declare Their Ilia Are Imaginary. Gloversvllle, N. Y. —Hypnotized by their mother into the belief that they were suffering from hereditary heart disease in an aggravated form, three grown men had been lying in bed for years In their home, on the road running from Northville, Fulton county to Welle, Hamilton county. Physicians examined the three men and declared that they were in aa sound physical trim as can be for three blXtootere who have remained In bed ■och a length of time. The men are sons of John Bennett a farmer. The mother is a robust woman Intelligent in appearance, about 60 yeara old. The sons are George, n yeans old; Ward, 29, and Wank, 21 yeans. They were under the Impression that the slightest shock would result in sudden death. George had been In bed for eight years, Ward ton years, and Frank six yeara. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bennett insist the men are awful sufferers. They had trouble with a firm of contractors potting through a State highway near their home because the blasting had a serious effect on their sons’ condition. The three men were types of Hamilton county residents —hardy, robust men, somewhat pale from their long of exercise and sunshine, but all sound as a dollar, according to competent medical men. This verdict has no effect on the parents or the sons, who persisted in declaring themselves very ill men. Neighbors and visitors to the many summer camping resorts in the Adirondacks have heard of the case and called on the men,, The authorities of Hope, in which town the Bennetts reside, offered to send the men to a hospital, but Mrs. Bennett insisted upon a guarantee for the safe return of her boys, and protested that to move them would bring on an attack of their troubles and cause death. The authorities abandoned the plan some time ago.

In or Out of Cell.

Ballsfon, Spa, N. Y. —Jesse Rose of Saratoga Springs, a prisoner in the county jail, escaped and then returned. The Jail officials could not solve the mystery surrounding Rose’s disappearance. He was lodged in jail to await the action of the grand Jury on a charge of trying to add two prisoners, Datson and Stoddard, to escape. It was alleged that he passed a saw through the cell window and that the prisoners used it to saw the bars. Rose asked the assistant jailer, Garling, for a piece of pftper on which to write a note. He got it and later the cell was found empty, with this note pinned to the bunk: “By the time you get this I will be gone.” The eell was locked, as were the doors and windows, and this made th escape all the more mysterious. Late that afternoon Rose was found in his cell. He refused to tell where he had teem.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, BBNSSET.ABR, IND

TOO MUCH GOLD PRODUCED.

BsW to bwCuuzc of High Prices and Labor Unroot london, Eng.-—An interesting suggestion la made in regard to the increased cost of bring, which, like an earth wave, has sent a tremor throughout Europe, causing food riots in Franoe, aa outcry against the butchers In Belgium, and protests against the dearer meat and milk in Germany, while it Is largely responsible for the labor unrest In England. This suggestion js that the enorhas upaet the balance of prices and that the world has not yet shaken itself down to a true adjustment Statistics show conclusively that in England, on the Continent, and in North America nearly all the commqper and most necessary articles of food have been steadily riping In price since the century opened. Meat, especially bacon, in England the poor man's favorite food; milk, bread, and sugar all cost more. It la calculated that there is a 10 per cent increase in the weekly budget of household expenses in England. Prof. Chapman at a meeting of the British Association predicted that the next three yeara would be an era of strikes, due to the fact that, whereas up to 1896 the cost of-Jivlng had been tolling, it had since then been rising.

SEE HUMAN AURA WITH UNAIDED EYE

Doctors Watch the Demonstration with Young Professional Woman as the Subject HAZE APPEARS ABOUT HER BODY Bluish-Gray Film, In Three Layers, Rings Model’s Form—Broken by Touch —Shows Diseased Portion of Lungs. Philadelphia, Pa. —Several Philadelphia physicians who witnessed a series of experiments conducted by Dr. Arthur W. Yale, a consumption specialist, are convinced the human body is surrounded by a sort of film, known as the human aura, saving seen it with their own eyes. For fear his work would prove fruitless the experiments were conducted secretly until a few days ago. Then physicians and friends interested in scientific work were invited to what is termed a “scientific seance.” An artists’ model, a girl 20 years old, was obtained as a subject. The aura is more distinct in a woman than a man for a reason as yet unexplained. The room was darkened so all chance of a shadow falling on the model was removed. The guests then were provided with slides, designed to make the aura visible. After a few moments of looking at the model the observers asserted the girl’s body was surrounded by a nebulous gaze in the form of a distinct bluish-gray ring. After the eye had been aided the lenses were dispensed with and the unaided sight discerned the aura’s glow. Professor Rosenthal says the aura is visible in three distinct' places; Next to the body a dark band a quarter of an inch wide, an inner aura, or band of light, and the outer aura. Dr. Yale intends to continue his experiments, believing it may aid him In making a correct diagnosis when treating consumption by indicating the position of the diseased portions of the lungs. That may be possible, as it is a theory that whenever the body 1b diseased, there is a break in the aura. To test that theory further, the physician had a patient undress and examined his chest through the slide. The aura was visible, but' under the left shoulder wa3 broken, seemingly indicating that part of the chest was where the disease lay.

Fellow workmen tried to stop him, but he eluded them until George Kears, a moulder, seized him and smothered the flames with his coat.

The latest dispatches say that Ifuerta has decided to accept the terms proffered by Presklent Wilson through Envoy Lind and that peace is in sight, It is difficult to conjecture what the dispatches tomorrow or the day alter will say. Chicago’s population is 2,388,500, an increase of 62,100 over last year, according to the count of the Chicago Directory company, which began to distribute the 1914 city directory today. School enrollment in Gary’s public schools exceeded even, the estk mates of the principals of the different school buildings. The Emerson school has raised its estimate from 1,000 pupils to a little over 1,100. A corresponding heavy increase in the other schools has been reported. Honesty is sometimes found in unexpected places and occasionally it is absent in places where one would expect to find it. It is a sad thing to find a concrete example of dishonesty, small, petty* dishonesty where one had expected real honor and manhood to exist. But this world is filled with surprises and we bump against some jolts that puzzle us almost every day. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Cohen and children departed this morning for South Chicago and will go from there to the city, and he will then decide in what business he will engage. Mr. Cohen liked Rensselaer and it is believed in time he would have built up a very good business, but fie had property interests ,at Indiana Harbor that required him to spend much of his time there and this decided him to sell out here and locate either in Chicago or some near suburb. He made many friends while here and left a good record behind him.
