A HAUNTED HEADBOARD.
a Rapping Spirit Pursues Mrs. How
ard and Sends Her to Bed Ill
washington. y. c., progreSs.)


About one month ago strange knock
ing or rapping on the headboard of Mrs.
Geo. Towards bedstead was discovered.
which alarmed her. At first it was not 50
frequent or loud. However. it became
more frequent and louder. At times It
wild rap every five minutes. 1t is heard
more frequently ut night than any ether
time. but it is often heard i'll the day
time. 1t became SO annoying that Mrs.
Howard went to her mothers and it fol-
lowed her there She returned home and
it so worked upon her nervous system
that She has taken her bed. Dozens of
people have heard it and testify to tbs
fact. Some nights it is perfectly awful
and no one hearing it is able 10 sleep
long ut a time At first it would not
knock when any other person was i'll the
room with Mrs. Howard but not it
knocks with others in the room. 1t does
not always contine itself to the headboard,
but will knock ON the mantel or in other
portions Of the room. Several latnes
who have been in the rooms when it would
rap have been frightened badly. 1hey
say that Il most strange feeling comes
over them.
Mr. G.. Il. Harding, the brother of Mrs.
Howard, often stays in the room wlth
her since she has been sick and he also
hears it. None seem able to solve the
mystery 1t raps three times and then
stops. The bedstead shakes when it raps.
1t only raps when Mrs. Howard is III
the room, but it does not contine ltsel-
to any one room.
Several preachers and doctors have
tried to solve the mystery. but adj nave
failed. Many theories have been advanc-
cd but none have been accepted. We do
not believe in the ability of a spirit TO
perform such an act and yet we are as

Milwaukee, Wis, Saturday, Sept. 10th:
1--WE recognize in all nations alike
the right to defend their liberty and to
assert their independence by force of
arms.
1--WE consider every war for the
purpose of territorial expansion to be
an act of brutal force, hostile to our
American spirit of civilization and
humanity.
1--WE condemn any and every at
tempt to spread the blessing of civiliza-
ton at the point of the sword, because
it is hypocrltlcal pretext merely, be-
hind which there are lurking the greed
and avarice of concentrated wealth.
1--WE protest against the policy of
conquest pursued by our administra.

territory of the United States by force
