iaIize Themselves and Converse
With the COmpany-Most Wonder
fuI Manifestations on Record.
A series of spiritual manifestations which
com pletely eclipse anything Of the kind
heretofore recorded, recently occurred in this
city. The Eddy brothers, Professor Slsde,
the Davenports, and other well known med
iums, have from time TO time astonished
the world with their unaccountable demon
stratiops, but nothing ever produced by any
OF these can compare in wonder, aud beauty.
and marveIlousness, with the materializa.
tions which have been witnessed in Leaven-
worth during the past week. The occasion
referred to was
| STRICTLY PRIVATE
| affair, and for this reason we have not refer
/ red to II sooner, though We have been in pos
| session OF all the main facts since last Sat-
| urday; now. however, since the'mstter is be-
| Ing talked about by everybody, and since
| idle gossip is giving TO the affair a thou and
| false and Iudicrous features, il is entirely
proper for US 10 give a correct version of the
transaction, in order to correct the many
absurd rumors in regard to IL, as well as TO
put on record this latest and greatest achieve
ment in the line Of
SPIRIT MATEsIALIZATIoS.
Its well known to the public that Colonel
Eaton, OF this city, is a spiritualist; and in
this, as in everything else, he Is thorough
he does no halfway business. He is we'll
known, not only 10 the people OF Kansas,
but TO the people of the country generally.
The prominent part he has acted in Amert- |
can politics-being now, as for many years
past a member OF the National Democratic |
CommIttee-has made his name familiar TO |
the people of the country. For years past he |
and his wife have been firm and consistent |
believers in the spirituaistic philosophy. /
They have made FIRE a lent visits TO the resi- I
dence of Prof Mott, the celebrated material.
izing medium, at Memphis, No and while
there Col. Eaton has received proofs of Tie
reality of the
THE FUTURE LIFE,
which, II true-and he has no reason 10 doubt 1
TO convince any rational man
that those who have ..shuflled off this mortal
coil" do not only still live, but have the pow
.r of appearing to and conv.rsng with their
friends in the flesh. He has h ID satisfactory |
interviews with Gov. Wilson shannon, Col.
sacks and many others-names which, in
he past were familiar TO the people of X IL |
3as, but which now
"Have been carved for many year,
On the tomb" IL
Having been intimately acquainted and asgo- |
lated with these gentleinen- pollilcsly ana 1
ooiaIly during life, he naturally feels i'm p lc-
fIy con fident of his ability 10 recognize their 8
IDENTIFY, aad the proof being sucn as the .
Judgment cannot resist, IL must be admitted
,y believers and unbeiieyers alike, that his
,Slief in the reality of the demonstrations he |
Ias witnessed. is, 10 say the least, not at ALI [
urprising. During one of the visits referred
O MIR. and Mrs. Eaton saw and cnnversed 4
with their daughter Katie, who died at the
Lge of three weeks, and who has now been
THIRTY YEARS IN THE SPIRIT LAND. o
At many subsequent meetings they saw | I
er and conyeTsed freely with her, and she | i
vas also seen by many other visitors, some

videBce were necessary. During one OF
heir interviews above referred 10, the young \
