He went through with the program without a hitch, entertaining hundreds who . had gathered on the streets to witness the performance.; A committee composed of Messrs. C. G. Palmberg, Frank Hart, Lou Spraver, William EInger and E.Lindlngam con cealed a book in the shoe store next to the Central hotel. At the , top of page 361 the word Monday was selected Messrs. 'Sprauer and Palmberg made a detour of the olty before they placed the book under the counter of the store and took up their position at the door of the store to await the arrival of the hypnotist., At about 1 o'clock Mr. McEwen stepped Into a two horse open buRgy at the. door of the opera house. He was accompanied by the other members of the committee.' A heavy black handkerchief was 'tied in many folds about his eyes. Standing erect, he seized the lines and tho won. dferful drive was begun. The course taken was identical to th.vt followed !y the two members of the committee that hid the book.. It 'was down Twelfth street to Commercial, west on Commer cial to 'Seventh, north on Seventh to 3ond,east on fcond to Tenth, south on Tenth to Commercial and east ore Com mercial to the shoe store. Upon reach ing the place McEwen drew rein, jump ed from the buggy, entered the stove and went 'without hesitation to ihe counter and 'secured the book. Then he drove back to the opera house and In the presence of the committee placed his finger on the word. The members of the committee testify that every thing connected with the performance was perfectly straight. Those who oc cupied the carriage , with McEwen felt rather nervous when woodpiles and street cars were approached but nothing like an accident occurred.
