HER LAST PUBLIC MEETING.

Mrs. Scovel, the spiritualist, Made Her
Last Appearance Sunday Evening.
The Spiritualist Research Society
closed their meetings at the court
house Sunday evening after a continu-
ance of nearly two months, conducted
by Mrs. S. G. Scovell, the spiritualist
and medium, and her work has been
very satisfactory to the members of the
society. Her lecture on ''Inspiration"
as we'll as her tests were interesting.
After the meeting was over at the
court house few members of the Soc
iety gathered at the residence OF F. E.
Clark and witnessed some very fine
spiritual demonstrations, which were
truly remarkable to those who saw
them. A rebel soldier and Mason,
who was captured by party of union
men, scouting under the command OF ].
B. Wolgemuth, came to Mr.. Wolge-
muth through the medium and made
known his presence by referring to war
incidents during his capture and before
leaving the medium gave several Ma
sonic signs, among which was the Ma
sonic grip. A grandfather of Mr..
Clark, who was a Methodist preacher
for 40 years, controlled the medium and
gave an interesting religious talk, re-
calling incidents in Mr.. Clark's and his
own life, which we're reliable and true
in every instance. The sickness, death,
funeral journey from Sanborn to Mil
waukee and burial services of Mr.. Geo.
Bryan's nephew was described to him
in an accurate manner even people at.
tending the funeral were described,
Other numerous tests were given OF an
equally vivid character.

row was the scene OF most enjoyable
social function Friday evening, the oc-
casion being the reception rendered to
Rev. a. G, Stevens and wife by the

handsome floral decorations which
gave to the surroundings a charm of
beauty pleasing to the,eye. The guests
were received by MIR. and Mrs. Morrow,
assisted by Mrs. r. N. Kratz, and in
troduced them to the pastor and his
wife who were stationed in the parlor.
After the formal introduction was over
the guests arranged themselves in the
various rooms to enjoy the musical pro-
gram which had been provided. It
consisted of vocal and piano solos and
recitations, all OF which was quite in
teresting. Light refreshments were
served in the dining room and over the
delicacies the guests discussed various
topics OF interest.
MIR. Stevens is a young man of very
pleasing appearance and the four years
he spent as pastor of the church at
Redfeld endeared himself to the people,
who they were very anxious for his re.
turn. The members of the church ex.
pressed themselves as being we'll pleas

to extend to MIR. Stevens the cordial

The Closing Night.

Taking everything into consideration,
the election and the exciting time that
goes with it, the chrysanthemum chow
was quite successful, and the Ladies'
Cemetery association does not feel that
it's labor has been all N vain. The
attractions, the flowers. the arrange
ment and the concert were far in excess
OF the show last year and with the ex-
perieuce of two years they will be able
to add new features. Thursday evening
was the closing night and the crowd
was very satisfactory in the way OF
numbers. An informal musical pro-
gram was rendered early in the even
ing and those who took part in it retir-
ed with considerable credit to them
selves.
After the musical program was finish
ed the balance OF the evening was con-
sumed in auctioning off the flowers and
nearly every body present carried away
memento of The occasion. Mr.. and
Mrs. Newbury and Corles are entitled
to considerable credit for the beauty
of the decorations and the artistic ar
rangements OF the roses and chrysap-
themums, and among the latter there
were some very handsome varities.
The other adjuncts of the show, the
supper and concert, were taken care OF

have their part complete success and

Deputy Brooks Landed One of the Mid
night Marauders Monday.
Deputy Sheriff Brooks is always on
the lookout for suspicious characters
and his attention has been drawn to a
young fellow who was connected with a
robbery which occurred in Mitchell
during the summer, but no proof could
be secured to hold him. He went away
and was absent for some time and re-
turned Saturday. Mr.. Brooks was no.
titled of a robbery which occurred at
Canova last week and the description of
the party fitted this fellow sufficiently
so that George placed him under ar
rest. No sooner was the prisoner in
Jail that morning when Sheriff Elliott
drove in from Salem in search of man
and upon investigation Deputy Brooks
man was the same fellow that Elliott
was after. 1t develops that this fellow
stopped over night at hotel in Salem
last week and went away early in the
morning before breakfast. After his
departure gold watch and three gold
rings we're missed from one of the
rooms. A little investigation around
town revealed the fact that these arti-
,cles had been sold to a party here, who
identified the prisoner as having sold
them. Sheriff Elliott took his man
back to Salem on the Omaha at noon
Monday.

IN UNGENTLEMANLY ATTACK
The Gazette Severely Questions the In

The Gazette Severely Questions the In
tegrity and Honesty of Mrs. Earl.
Gazette: II, as our East Perry town
ship correspondent said last week,
Mrs. Edith Earl denied all knowledge
of Miss Vests electioneerirg for nor,
it seriously shakes the Gazette's faith
in the refining, purifying and ennob-
ling influence that women are to bring
into politics as the advocates Of woman
suffrage claim they will. When the
Gazette made the statement that Miss
West was working for Mrs. Earl's cleo
tion it knew what it was talking about
II also had the best of evidence that
Mrs. Earl knew exactly what Miss
West was doing, long before making
the statement accredited to her by the
East Perry correspondent. A cam
paign lie is bad enough from anyone
but is doubly hideous when made by a
reputed christian woman. The Ca
zette tried to use Mrs. Earl with fair
ness and courtesy during the campaign
but it does not propose to be falsely
accused of lying, even by woman, and
it deems itself justified in correcting
Mrs. Earle's false statement. 1t might
have taken the matter up last week
but preferred to wait until after cleo
tion 80 that the explanation could not
be classed as campaign story.
The above is an infamous libel upon a
lady whose honesty and integrity has
never been questioned. The founda-
ticn of the Gazette's attack upon Mrs.
Earl is found in the Perry correspond.
ence which reads as follows: "Mrs.
Edith Earl is calling in our neighbor-
hood and denies all knowledge of Miss
West electioneering for her." Here8is
where the Gazette thinks its honor
was assailed and without inquiring
! further as to the correctness of the re.
port declares that Mrs. Earl told q
falsehood. Saturday Mrs. Earl was in
the city and was shown the article and
was justly indignant over the SANDER.

The first dancing party of the season
was held at the new opera house Fri
day evening and was designed to be

attendance was not large, owing to the
disagreeable evening, yet the affair
was decidedly a pleasant one in every
respect. The Parlor orchestra furnish
ed some good music. The decorations
for the chrysanthemum show of the
evening before were left in place and
added much to the joy and beauty of
the scene. If the succeeding parties
are as enjoyable as was the opening one
