THE SPOOkS.
Since the earlier revelations by The
TRIBUNE of the remarkable spiritual man
ifestations under the auspices of Col.
Sweet and Madame La Secher, some of the
most respectable people of Bismarck have
taken an interest IN the seances, and as the
medium develops under the Colonel's
manipulations, the nature OF her COM
munications grows more and more start
ling. Col. Sweet is thoroughly in earnest
in his work, and in order 10 bring him

spirit land, has taken to low diet and per-

able to materialize the friends who have

Col Sweet has concluded 70 discontinue
the public receptions for while, and con-
fine his efforts to private seances, or "de.
veloping circles,' as they are called, until
he can present Madame in less nervous
state and insure the success of all her un-
dertakings.
