MESSENGERS FROM HEAVEN.
Mysterious Manifestions Of Spiritual
Presence in a Farm House near
Madelia.
Ending in the Discovery of Nicely
Managed Love Plot:

A dispatch to the Pioneer Press from
Madelia says that Miss Nelson, an eigh.
teen-year-old daug hter of H. Nelson,
who lives in Butternut Valley Aine
miles northeast of that village, has
seen so-called messenger from Heaven
in the shape of a white dove carving
an open book. The dispatch then goes
on to state that Miss Nelson called
sister to see the vision, but it was visi
BILE to NO one except herself. The dove
passed across the bed chamber and dis
appeared at the foot of the bed, and since
that time the household has been dis
turbed by rapplngs, stove griddles
rattling on the stove, whistling and
humming of tunes, which sounds can
not be located, but resemble the human
voice. These are not only heard by
young lady, but by any one present in
the house either day or night. And so
far, no one has been able to locate the
strange sounds, or tell what would
cause the stove griddles to dance.
This latter happens only when the young
lady passes by, but not near enough to
touch anything.
Another mysterious thing in connec.
tion with the affair is that small articles
belonging to Miss Nelson are continu-
ally disappearing. even when the house
is locked and a watch kept around the
place, the largest article being a dress
and part of this, Il skirt, being found in
tree in the yard the next morning.
Wednesday night the Norwegian
Lutheran pastor held meeting in the
house, hoping by this means to drive
the ghostly and spiritualistic sounds
away. There were about hundred
people present, and all that could get
in the house came away satisfied that
these sounds were heard and that the
stories were not all fiction. The family
were anxious to have any one come to
hear and see for themselves, and find
out the cause of the disturbance if pos
sible. People Hooked there from
fifteen and twenty miles around.
A later telegram announces thae the
excitement has abated owing to the dis.
covery of human agency. The girl is
said to have lover who is distasteful
to the old man, and a scheming wife
fine property-g plot to scare the
old man to acquiesce in marriage
mother and daughter discovered rap
ping, etc.,-all are chapters in the dark
and gruesome plot.
