The letter was delivered to Mrs. John Wright of Bellefont- ain. who before her marriage, four years ago last July, was Miss Clara Darker. She remembered haveng written her name on an egg she packed for shipment at a gro- cery in Wnich she was employed a bout SIX a5nth before her marriage.

SPECIAL DRY" RULE
ADOPTED BY HOUSE

Washington, Dec. 23.-Under a spe.
cial rule, which was adopted without
a roll cali, the house began an eight
hour debate on the Ilobson resolution
to submit to the states a constitution
al amendment for national prohibition
A rolling chorus of aye" greeted
the question and the house then
plunged into N OF the most interest.
Ing, II not the most spectacular, de.
bates OF recent.years. %
The passage of the rule was con.
coded by those who oppose the Hob.
son resolution, many of whom voted
for the rule to get the resolution out
to a vote. Passage of the resolution
requires a two-thirds vote in the
house and a two-thirds vote later in
the senate before it is submitted to
the states.
The passage OF the rule was pre-.
ceded by a statement by Democratic
bate on both sides. Mr.. Underwood
made 1t clear that the Democratic
leadership in the house was in favor
OF meeting the issue with a vote.
The debate on the rule had been a

mated at 1000 head, as against
3,041 a week ago and 322 the cor
responding day a year ago.
Further Improvement developed in
the market for fat and killing grades
OF cattle today under the influence OF
a light supply, a good, strong local
demand, and builish wires from out
side market centers. Good action
was had on both beef steers and
butcher cows and for the most part
sales were a dime higher. making
current prices IS a 40c higher than
at the low time last week.
A quiet, steady trade was had for
stockers and feeders. The fact that
Friday is to be a holiday at all lead
ing markets served to check the up
ward trend to prices that started
earlier in the week as ii cuts down
the time for dealers TO make a clear
ance.
Sluggishness featured in the hog
market. Supply was of generous
volume and all buyers were out to
cheaper cost. Trading basis was
reached late in the day and was judg-
ed to be 5610c lower in most in
stances. Tops went at 81, with the
bulk of the sales from $685. a 6.95,

SPIRIT Child
AWARDED TO MEDIUM MOTHER
BY AN OHIO COURT.

Cincinnati. Dec. 24.-The celebrat-
ed spirit child case was settled to-
night in court here. Judge German
awarded to Mrs. Plymouth Weeks the
custody of the ~12-year-old lad who
the late Louis Kraft. a shrewd and
wealthy political leader, believed was
miraculously sent from beyond" to
be his son, he having been childless.
Mrs. Weeks who formerly was a
well known spiritualistic medium.
was believed by Kraft, according to
declarations he made before bis
death. to be the spirit mother" OF
the child. The boy, sometimes
known as Louis Kraft, jr., was liber-
ally remembered in the will of the
politician.
But there was another claimant
for his custody. This was Mrs. Dora
Haus Guinen. wife of a farmer, who
swore that the lad was hers. and de-
comfortable fortune left him by
Kraft.
Judge German, in deciding the
matter, said he believed the problem
Of the boys motherhood vas some
what in doubt, but he would award
him to Mrs. Weeks, because she had
taken good care of him for a long
time and, besides, evidence had
shown that Mrs. Guinen's r had
not been above criticism.
The decision was probably largely
influenced by the fact that a doctor
testified today that he was present
when the child was born. Mrs. Weeks
was undoubtedly the mother, he said,
and the birth was a normal one.
Mrs. Weeks husband was living with
her in the house at the time, the ply
stefan swore, but Kraft, the politi-
clan, signed the birth certificate and
insisted hat he was the father of the
child.
The case was a remarkably strange
one. Kraft was testified when
this contest was begun-always had
. longing for an heir, but although
apparently happily married for years
never had me-. He became interested
in spiritualism. and through Mrs.
Weeks got in touch, as he believed.
with the spirit of a young he
had known who had died some years
before.
This spirit told him, according to
his own story, repeated by witnesses,
that he would have a spirit child
to whom he should leave a good part
of his fortune. Therefore, when Mrs.
Weeks baby was born he accepted il
as his own, cared for ii during life.
and in his will made ample provision
for its future.
All Of this came out when Krafts
will was filed for probate. Then ap-
peared Mrs. Guinen, the farmers
wife, who vowed hat the spirit
child" was no such thing. but was a
very material boy, who had been born
to her by a former husband, Albert
Haus, and had been given over to
Mrs. Weeks. the s~piritualist, al the
latter's solicitation.
Haus, the ex-husband, who is n
teamster, backed up the story of his
former wife and declared that he was
present when the baby was born In
q hospital in this city. Mrs. Guinen,
fortified by this testimony. sued out a
writ Of habeas corpus for possession
Of the lad.
There was a mass of testimony ad.
duced as to Kraft's spiritualistic be.
liefs. and still more conflicting evi-
dence as to the actual birth OF chill.
dren to Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Guinen
The case has been in court for more
than . month.
