EXPOSURE
At Seance Stirs Up
Trouble Among Spir-
ltuaIlstS,

La Grange, Ind. Aug. IA. - The
greatest excitement prevails at the
camp of the Indiana association of
Spiritualists, at Chesterfield, as a re-
suit of the interruption of seance
given by a materializing medium
whose reputation has spread the
length and breadth of the country.
The meetings Of the association are
held annually upon its own grounds,
situated near the city, and the leading
spiritualists gather from this and
surrounding states. DIR. and Mrs. X.
Fl. Mendenhall, of Muncie, Ind, have
a cottage In the extreme northeast
corner Of the camp and here, on ac-
count of the wide reputation Of the
medium, most of the materializing
seances have been held.
About twenty people were gotten
together for a seance at the cottage,
most of whom were not acquainted
with each other and came from all
parts of the state. Mrs. G. w. Kin
nard, a member of the Central Chris
tian church of Chesterfield, around
whom were seated three or four
friends made the exposure by grab
bing the supposed spirit, after which
panic ensued. Mrs. Kinnard said:
81 was so sure that the spirit was
none other than Mrs. Mendenhall that
l could not keep from grabbing the
woman just to satisfy myself. She
told me and my friends that the spirits
would materialize and that we could
recognize them. reached right
out, and with both hands got hold Of
the woman who was standing up. I
held her to make sure that 1t was no
spirit, and while I was holding her
someone turned up lamp in another
room, and lighted the seance room. I
was holding to Mrs. Mendenhall. All
in the seance saw me. Mrs. Menden-
hall tainted. After the light was turn
ed up great excitement prevailed and
the house was cleared as speedily as
possible"
Mrs. Kinnard bears a good reputa-
tion for veracity, and the truth of her
assertions. has been questioned by but
few of the spiritualistic people.
Those in attendance at the seance
back up her assertions.
= Mrs. Mendenhall has sent out the
statement that il there was an expo
sure she had no knowledge of it,
because while she is conducting a Sc
ance she is totally oblivious to any
thing but the spirit world.

SOlumuus, Au5. IL.
The code builders have concluded
10 refer the matter of civil service to
the legislators. leaving them to decide
whether 1t shall go into the code.
This decision was reached because the
state bar committee refused Ito stand
for civil service unless 1t was provided
for cities. The code will make only
minor changes in the municipal own
ership laws. Ayl present municipalities s
may own their own light pants, water
works, and these provisions will prob
ably be adopted without much revision.
Governor Nash has decided to stay
away from Representative Guerin's
clanbake. which is to be held at San
dusky today and tomorrow. Somebody
gave out that Che governor would at
tend and that he would take his code
with him and exhibit it to the members.
