BOONE WAS HERE.

Prof. Boone, the hipnotist and mind reader, attracted a good crowd at the opera house last Monday evehing, and performed several feats that were very mystifying to the audience, such as finding articles in the audience, while blindfolded, which a committee had hidden, hipnotism, etc. His subject was placed in a hipnotic sleep in Myer’i? drug store window on Saturday night at 8 o’clock and continued in such sleep until awakened on the stage Monday night, as advertised. A postoffice key who hi iilen by a committee of citizens at the electric light plant Monday afternoon, and Mr. Boone, while blindfolded, drove over the same devious route taken by the committee, found 1 • key, drove back to the postoriiee, unlocked the box to which the key belonged, took a letter found therein and delivered same to the party to whom it was addressed, all within a very short space of time.
