SWITCHING ENGINE AND CREW TO BE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED IN THIS CITY. Heavy Interchange of Freight Between Vandalia and Pennsylvania Requires Steady Crew. Owing to the heavy increase of the local freight business on the Vandalia and Pennsylvania railroads, a permanent switching crew is to be installed in this city, in the immediate future. Beginning on Monday of this week, a switching engine, caboose and crew from Fort Wayne have been operating here temporarily, until the regular crew is estahlished. The crew which is now employed here, consists of an engineer, fireman, three brakeman and a conductor. The crew is in charge of Conductor W. G. Brown of Fort Wayne. The Pennsylvania company has given notice to local freight office that it would advertise the run in Fort Wayne in the near future. This is done, to permit trainmen to apply for the run. The oldest men in the service are given perferenee in assigning positions on new runs. The heavy interchange of freight traffic between the Pennsylvania and Vandalia railroads, is one reason for the necessity of the switching crew as a pemanent factor in the local freight yards. Plymouth is becoming more and more a center for such interchange, being located centrally and directly with many of the leading cities and centers of this section of the country. The temporary switching train will remain here until the regular run is established. Notables Here Today. Edward Grant and Rev. I. P Anderson of Huron, S.

LOCAL FREIGHT TRAFFIC ON BIG INCREASE

YOUTH LIES ASLEEP IN SELF-HYPNOSIS

PROFESSOR COULD NOT BE HEARD OVER PHONE YET MAGNETISM WORKS Young Man Goes Into Mesmeric Sleep Before Crowd Via Voice Through Phone. "Is the young man, lying in an apparent deep sleep, in the Houghton window on north Michigan street, a subject of self hypnosis, was his sleep induced by a post-hypnotic suggestion, or is he hypnotised at all," are questions Plymouth residents who witnessed the exhibition last evening, are asking themselves. As advertised, a young man was put to sleep, by the suggestion over telephone of Prof. Gilpin, who was located at Michigan City. He now lies in the show window of the empty Metsker room on north Michigan street, where after a sleep of fifty hours he will be awakened by the professor, when the hypnotism show comes to town, Thursday evening. The crowd which gathered in front of the window, where the exhibition was made last evening, saw a young man, apparently eighteen years of age, of slight stature, and unhealthy looking, enter the window, in company with another member of the company. A desk telephone had been installed in the window and over this, the assistant called Michigan City, and got Prof. Gilpin on the line. The lad took the phone, while seated on the edge of a cot in the window, and was heard to say, "Hello Mr. Gilpin, --Yes, I hear you all right, Yes---Yes, etc., getting weaker all of the time, until he suddenly dropped the receiver and fell upon the cot asleep. The assistant arranged the subject, and ---well he is there yet. The only hitch in the proceedings was the fact that Gilpin could not be understood by the assistant, or by the local central. The stunt was pulled off, immcdiatly after the heavy storm last evening, and the long distance lines were extremely noisy. Others who listened on the line, say that Gilpin could not be heard, and not possibly understood. Anyway the lad went to sleep. The operation could be easily explained by the theory of post hypnotic suggestion. It is a well know theory of hypnotism, that suggestions given them while hynotised, almost any length of time after they have been awakened. This the subject while hypnotised might have been told, that at 7.30 oclock, on Tuesday night of this week, he would go into a long sleep, which would last, until broken by the operator. The suggestion by voice over the phone, would be all that is needed to effect the result, caused by the post suggestion. Withstands Operation. Alpha Wade formerly of this city, now of Laporte, is here visiting with his sister Mrs.Bert Bushman for a week, and convalescing from an operation for appendicitis, which he underwent at the Holy Family Hospital at Laporte, a couple of weeks ago. He is getting aong nicely. Attend Reunion at Rochester. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Martindale, of Kimmell, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Martindale of this city, Mr. and Mrs. Riley Lamb and Mr. and Mrs. I.
