"A Wonderful Exhibition.

Mrs. Abbott, the Georgia wonder, gave
an exhibition of her wonderful power at
the rink Saturday night and convinced,
the audience that she is all that has been
claimed for her. Tho exhibition was
given under the supervision of local
committee consisting Of the following
gentlemen: DR.. DePuy, Dr. Thorold,
DIR. Moore, Judge Rose, w. B. S. lrlmble
Rev. VIM. Gibb, Alfred Steel, W. Il.
Green aud DR.. Archibald. This commit
tee furnished subjects for Mrs Abbott's
display Of power and all OF them declared
themselves satisfied that the lady exer-
cised some remarkable and mysterious
power OF which no satisfactory expiana-
ton can be presented. Mrs. Abbott
herself does not attempt an explanation;
che has the power but knows not whence
it comes. Various explanations Of the
feats she performs have been attempted
-mesmeric, spiritualistic and hypnotic
theories have been advanced, but the
fact remains that the mysterious power is
exercised and science is at a loss to ac-
count for it. The first thing Mrs. Abbott
did was to place chair in the hands Of
committeeman, told him to hold it
still and then by. simply placing her
hands on it moved it where she willed
despite the efforts of the committeeman
to remain stationary. She then lifted
the members OF the committee IN success
sion as they sat on a chair, by simply
placing the palm of her hand against the
chair post. While this test was made
two of the physicians on the committee
observed her bare arms and declared that
there was no exhibition of muscular
force. She stood erect on the heel Of one
foot and four Of the committee could not
push her off her balance. A strong chair
was placed on the platform and Judge
Rose seated IN it, then W. B. S. Trinbie
seated himself bestride the Judge and a
pyramid was formed by the elevation of
Alfred Steel, Rev. VIM. Gibb and DR..
Moore at the top of the heap. Mrs. Alb
bott without apparent effort raised the
whole aggregation from the floor. Dan
Wallace, and afterwards Nell Wallace,
laid their hands on Mrs Abbott's and
thereby received her power to such an
extent that Judge Rose could not lift
either OF them from the floor. If Mrs.
with ease. When she willed otherwise
four OF the committee could not bulge
her. The exhibition is wonderful aud
there is much unsatisfactory speculation
as to whence this peculiar power comes.

Senator Casey is in receipt OF com,
from Mr.. Oxnard OF the
Grand Island, Neb, beet sugar works,
stating that pressure of business is now
so great with him that he can not visit
jamestown this fall as he intended. He
states that he will be here. however, in
the spring and look the ground over,
relative to the establishment IT the fac
tory-proposed. Nothing could be done
during winter anyhow and the purpose
OF the visit can be equally as we'll served
in the spring. Senator Casey is confident
that this point will be selected as the
first place where beet sugar works will be
erected. The enterprise is all new. and
in some degree yet, experimental. There
is little reason to doubt, however, the
successful cultivation OF the beet and
manufacture of the product in North Da-
kota and il SO in jamestown.
