porter, yesterday, that Mrs. Eliza Nc
Laughlin, wife OF III. H. Mclaughlin. X.
K T. carpenter, who resides at No. 800 East
Ninth street, had effected some remarkable
cures recently by the means OF personal
electricity. Wishing to know exactly what
there Was in the report, representati We OF
the BAzoO visited her last evenings and
spent an hour bo;h pleasantly and oft
ably.
Mrs Mclaughlin is pleasant appear
ing lady some forty years OF age, and has
resided in S,dalia four years. She came
here from Mitchell, Indiana, but not until
recently has il become known that she was a
clairvoysnl ard mind reader in addition to
curer OF neuralgia, rheumatism, headache,
etc, by electricity.
Mrs Mclaughlin" said the reporter,
lis il true that you are u clairvoyant and
mind-reader?'
well, yes, claim To he both"
"Have you any objections TO test In
the latter capacIIvg
Not the least in the world. In fact, /
will be glad to exhibit my powers in that
direction"
The lady then requested the
reporter to PROFOUND to her any number
of questions, mentally, which could be
answered In the negative or affirmative,
and she would endeayOr to answer them.
Passing her hands over her forehead
three or four times. then closing her eyes,
she announced ready" and as rapidly as
the Ipterrogatives revolved i'm the mind of
the reporter, Mrs. Mclaughlin gave her
answers, either yes or 10, and they
we're correct in every instance
Emerging from what appeared to be a
trance The lady stepped over TO the re-
porter, and taking his hand, exhibited her
powers of e ectricit,, the shock being equal
almost To that produced by battery.
This through, Mrs. Mclaughlin next
branched off As a ciairvoyani, and in this
direction she is certainly remarkable
woman, her power of Discerning objects
not pr s=nt being wonderful indeed.
You are also called fortune teller, are
you not ?" asked the reporter.
81 suppose / am. by some" replied the
lady, "Dut do not care To he classed as
such. j have been visited Dy young ladies
their sweethearts, and my answers on such
occasions bave probably won Tor ME the
the distinction Oi being mere fortune
teller"
ado You have many calls from those Who
desire to know what the future has in store
for ihem?"
ayes, indeed"
What class of people generally visit
your
my callers are not confined to any par
ticulsr class. cater to the young and old,
rich and poor. The most aristocratic peO-
pie in the city visit me, and my answers
must have satisfied them that am 8 mind
reader, as they have called several times to
ask me questions. Why, have had the
bet business men i'm Sedalia to visit and
interrogate me before they would engage
in some speculation they had been conIem-
plating"
at would be good idea for sporting
men to get pointers from you as regards
bsil games, horse races, etc., would it not?"
81 have never failed yet when asked for
information on these points. When the
Leadville ball club reached Sedslis l was
asked by young man which club would
be successful, and told him the Blues.
The next day he came again and told
him the same thing. l had never heard of
the visiting club, and knew nothing of their
record as players"
"Have you effected many cures in Sc
DALAI"
"Yes, quite a number / am now treat
ing young lady for rheumatism whom the
doctors had failed to benefit. and she is
rapidly getting we'll. claim that l can
give immediate relief in eases OF headache
and neuralgia"
Mrs. Mclaughlin was asked many more
questions by the reporter, but lack of space
compels the interesting interview to De
brought to q close.
