The Uncanny Beings Can Rap on the
Table—An Interesting Seance
In Which a Number Teh
Shoe'ia the Spirit.
It was a jolly crowd that sat dowit to
the table, turned the lights, low, placed
their hands on the table and waited for
the spirit to come. . . . ^
This happened the-other night at one
of oar fashionable houses m the city.
There was in the company a cultured
widow, a blushing bride, an attractive
young lady, » young business man. one
who bad thrown ofl the state of single
blessedness, a college J>oy. and, a citi-
zerf.'
First a deathly silence was enjoined
by the medium; then all oommeneed to
sing songs, varying, in solemnity from

A Bright Outlook for the New Year-
Professor Bond’s Great La
bor for Elevating the
’ - *' City’s Schools.
J i—JOl
Athens Jias reason to be proud of her
Public Schools.
A little more than five years ago Mr.
Branson organized some two or three
Aapie Rooney to Home-Sweet Homo.
At last the spirits came and the little
table began to kick up all.kinds.of An
tics. It was'especially fond of stand
ing on one leg and that leg was near
by — who was especially quiet und
intent.
When it bad finished cutting its ca
pers, the table settled Sown, like the
young man who sows bis wild oats, gets
married, and finds that his better half is
art ezpei t in handling the broomstick.
After several questions from the me
dium the centre of the table was loudly
rapped and a spirit announced herself
from the other world where she had
been for six years.
Upon being asked for her name she
refused to give it, and with true wo-,
manly instinct refused to intimate her
age: She wished to talk to tbe young
business man who sat at the ta
ble.
Many questions passed to andfro and
were satisfactorily answered, so much
so that the medium and others were
highly pleased and believed that a xeal
spirit from the other world was present
with them.
Finally the question of matrimony
was reached and the spirit was asked if
the young man would ever get married.
“Yes” was the reply with two dis-
inc t raps upon the table.
“What is her name,”was asked. Tlien
the medium called through the alpha
bet, until the letter “N” was reached.
Here the spirit rapped upon the tat-le.
In this manner the name was spelled
out and found to be N P-
“This is a farce and a humbug,” ex
claimed the young man, Who believed
hiioself to be thoroughly ingratiated
into the affections of another young
lady.
With that the spirit refused to talk
. any more with any presumptuous mor-
. t&l who would dare question her exis
tence.
This spirit was then sent oft after
another and in two minutes returned
with the spirit of a gentleman who bad
been dead seven years.
After an interesting conversation tiia
spirit left, and a black imp from the
lower regions came up to speak wi th
the College boy, followed by that of a
disappointed lover to sjieak with the
young married couple.
The seance over, all agreed that it was
a most wonderful thing, and that the
revelations were exactly true.
F,ach one was asked if he or she bad
done anything towards causing the
raps.
All replied in the negative, until the
last gentleman was reached, when he
simply held up a number ten foot that
had rested within two inches of tbe ta
ble leg.
*“0b, shaw!” was the only reply,
“You mean thing, you ought to be
aahamedjof. yoursel f.*”
The young man had grown tired of
waiting for the spirits to come, and bad
manufactured them himself.
The scene ended in confusion.
K>nui Mortgage Statement.
Topeka, Deo. 22.—The Daily Capi'tel
taints the eighth monthly mortgage
statement from registers of deeds of
fifty-five counties in Kansas. The total
mortgages released is $1,601,164; total
leoarfied $1,118,800. Excess of farm
mortgages released, $487,866. The cty
mortgages show a net reduction o!
£ 1,859. The total net reduction of in-
btedneas for the month of November,
on bqth farm and city mortgages, in
fifty-five counties is $573,225. Take the
same ratio of reduction for the twent;y-
three remaining counties east of the
one-hundredth meridian, and it leaves
$881,738 as the amount of debt reduc
tion in eastern and central Kansas for
tbe month of November. This is
legitimate redaction and does not in

dwellings, churches and skating rinks.
The city did not own a single building
suitable for the purpose.
About a dozen young teachers inex
perienced in graded work, constituted
the corps of instruction.
The system has grown year by year
until the three hundred pupils at the
begining now number about twelve
hundred and fifty in round numbers;
the old dwellings, churches and skating
rinks have given away to commodious
brick buildings with modern appliances;
and the corps of instruction now num
bers twenty-nine skilled teachers, full
of energy and enthusiasm in tbe pur
suit of their chosen profession. Even
this number is not large enough to meet
the demands of the situation properly.
Just here, it is proper to note that the
cost of tuition per pupil per month last
year, as shown by the Superintendent’s
report was only $1.20; whereas to edu
cate our children under tbe old regime
of privaie.schools would jeost at least
twice as much.

their quarters in the two new buildings
now under way, the one, a large six

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Dec. 21.—The
ground in the vicinity of Gaylor’s slope,
at Plymouth, began to settle suddenly,
and in less than two honrs the surface,
to the extent of two or three acres,
broke np and caved in.
The big breaker of the mine is very
shaky, and may fall any moment. The
engine house, oil house and storage
rooms surrounding the breaker, are
gradually sinking, and tbe machinery
is being moved as fast as possible by
gangs of men, who work in great
danger, as the surface may cave in and
bury them at any moment.
The house of a miner named Richard
Glace, which began to sink late in the
afternoon, is now in ruins. Glace and
his family escaped. The officials of the
mine are unable to account for tbe
sinking. The town is greatly excited.

A FRIGHTFUL STORY
Of Mordar and Cannibalism Cornea from
a Town in Poland.
Vienna, Deo. 2h—■A frightful story
of murder and cannibalism comes from
Mjechow, a small town in Russian Po
land, in the province of Kielce. Three
peasants enticed a shoemaker named
Levanoffsky into a forest under the pre
tence of showing him where some
money was concealed. When they had
reached a secluded place in the woods
they turned upon the man and beat
him to death. He was known to carry
a considerable sum of money with him,
and to get this was the object of the
murder. Being anxious to conceal the
crime, they stripped it and cat it to
pieces. Then they gathered a quantity
of wood and heaped it about the re
mains and started a fire. As soon as
the fire was under headway the mur
derers left the spot. The fire went out
without having consumed, all tbe body.
Later on a workman from the same
vicinity was passing near the scene of
the murder, and saw a piece of half
suo uiuiuoi v auu can a vi unu
roasted flesh in the ashes of what had
been a fire. He supposed that some one
had been cooking game, and had left
part of it there. He took the flesh
home and told friends of his luck in
finding it. As meat was a rare luxury
they readily complied. While devour
ing the horrible food, some one accused
the finder of having stolen the meat.
To prove that he was not a thief, he in
vited them to accompany him tP the
forest. There a closer search uncovered
other remains of the murdered shoe
maker, and horrified the men with the
evidence of what they had been eating,
It was ascertained that Lavanoffsky
was missing, and the murderers were
arrested.

Gainesville,, Tex.* Dee. 22.— A very
strange discovery was made by some
wood-choppers who were working in
the Hills west of this place. They
brought to town a skeleton, end the
section of a tree that bore evidence of
the truthfulness of their story. They
cut down a large oak tree which was
partly hollow, bnt the entranoe to tbe
hollow portion had almost entirely
grown over, leaving only a narrow slit
in the ontside of the tree. When the
tree fell to the ground it was split open
by the shock, and there, lying in the
center of the broken wood w/vs tfce
skeleton of a man. 0." One ankle of
the «kr.'ctOii was a baud of iron attach
ed to a piece of chain, evidently from
the manacles worn when be sought re
fuge in the hollow tree. From all indi
cations the skeleton has been entombed
for many years, for tbe tree had grown
sufficiently to almost cover the opening
through which he crawled to hide. Two
of the ribs were broken in such a man
ner as to lead to tbe belief that it was
done by a bullet. The suppo-ition is
that the man escaped from some prison,
and had fled with a portion of his man

had sought refuge in the tree aud died

scarcely said this when Mrs. Sage
clutched his throat, and with the force
of madness, threw her weight on him
and pushed him into the street and
slammed the door.
Trembling and exhausted, Mrs. Sage

the venerable financier, Mr. Sage has
received 1,200 letters from cranks in all
parts of the United States and even
from Europe. Some were in other lan

thing he did was tio tell Byrnes. This

of them, and translations of the foreign
ones. With the doing of t v *t Mr. Sage
