C-S Several skeptical young men attended the seance last Saturday evening with the deter imitation of exposing what they considered 8 palpable fraud. Accordingly one of them managed to a seat neal the cabinet from which the spirits ma terialized. The clothing of the medium was sewed securely to a chair in the cabinet, the circle formed and the lights turned down. Soon the spirit of the father of one of the company was materialized and reached out to shake hands with his son, when the young man near the cabinet grappled with the messenger from the other world and threw him to the floor. The believers imme- diately hurled themselves upon the daring young man, upon which the other skeptics took hand in the affair and for while great disorder reigned. The lights were at length turned up, when, to the amazement of the believing circle, the mater;alized spirit proved to be the medium in airy attire. The clothing out of which he had slipped remained sewed to the chair. The indignation was great, among the spiritualists as we'll as others, and tar and feathers were strongly talked of for a time, but finally cooler judgment prevailed and warrant was sworn out for Wyman's arrest for obtaining money under false pre-. tences. A hearing was had before Justice Baird, Wyman pleading guilty, and in de- fault of bail was remanded to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury.
 Wyman is one of the most noted medi urns in the West, being the chief medium al the recent Iowa State Spiritualist camp meeting in Clinton, and coming to this place from Evanston and Chicago, where he has been holding successful seances.

 Congressman Morrison Wants Them
 Distributed Among The Commit ttees.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Congressman Morrison now comes out in favor of distrib- utlng the work of the House Appropriations committee. He thinks it simply impossible Tor one committee to properly do all the work now assigned to that committee, no matter who is the chairman. He favored a proposition brought up in the Forty-sixth Congress to distribute some of the work of the Committee; but when Mr. Randall had been defeated for Speaker in the Forty eighth Congress and the proposition was again agitated MT. Morrison opposed it and favored leaving the Appropriations commit tee all the power and importance it ever had as 8 matter of courtesy to Mir. Randall, it's chairman. Since that time Mr. Morrison says he has learned not to allow desire to act courteously to an opponent to pre- vent his doing what he believes to be right. He thinks the appropriation bills are more than any one committee can manage and be will favor the distribution of a part of them among the committees to which they properly belong.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-When the United States Supreme court met at noon to-day all the members were present except Justices Blatehford and Matthews. who left Washing ton this morning to attend Mir. Hendricks funeral. On the opening of the court Attor- hey General Garland made formal announce ment of the death of the Vice President of the United States. He said: itSince the ad- journment of this court on last Wednesday the heart of the nation has been soreIy touch ed by the death of the Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks. This is not proper place to pronounce an eulogy upon the use fitness and splendid character of Mir. Hen dricks, but he has been so long conspicuous in the public service, has filled thoroughly admirably so many places of high trust, in- cluding the second in rank in the gift of the people, and he has been prominent member of this bar for so many years, I deem it becoming to request the court to lay aside its docket and pause before this sad event that now overshadows the whole country and out of respect for the memory of this good and faithful servant to cease its labors until after the last funeral rites are performed to-mor- Towjand therefore suggest that the court do now adjourn until Thursday next" Chief Justice Waite responded, expressing regret at the sad event ,and as further mark of re- speet to the memory of the dead the court adjourned until Thursday
