(hosts Sy It Will Do No Good to Cluss 1he Saloons An Egyptian Who of Died Thousands Ago Still Kicking, Years The meeting at the Progretsive spiritu. al hall yestordsy afternoon proved very Interesting, even to those who have not been converted to that form of bellef. The spirlt of a Reman senator was the first to take poasession of one of the me: diuma, and opened hisaddress in poetry then followed with a prose argument in favor of spirltun'ism aud closed with an- other poetical effusion, of conslderable merlt. There was much curlosty to know who this Roman senator was, snd in answer to a query, he replicd through the medium, *“Wherever you can tell the name of the Roman that sald in the senats that a man goes to he!l with a plece of money in his mouth, then you have my name.” No one was able to re- eall any euch personage, and here the matter dropped. An Indian chlef known as *“Midnight,” then got control of & nadium, who pro- ceeded to glve quite a discoursein & mort of unintelligabie mixture of Indian with English, 1t was finally asked him what he thought of having the saloons closed in Council Bluffa. He anewered that he dld not believe it would do any good but, Grivaco Landamus,the Egyptlan, who had commenced a dl!cuurlu here at & meeting two wecks ago could tell ‘more about it than he. It appesrs that the Indian *‘Midnight” could get ¢ mtrolof the mediumeasier thin the Egyptian, end thia sccounted for his first takine peacersion of the modinm and then turniag ler over to Graeces.

At m-Mm" two weiks #go he commenced a discourse on ““A Loat S. ul,” and yesterday e continued the thems. It seems that he found fault with the re- port made of bis specch then,atd he took ooeasion yoaterday o rebake’ the - pross, showing that, though dead nearly yoare, he sttll retsins ths human pro- pensity to ki k sbont what the news. papers say. His address, as glven through the mediumship of Mrs, Bradbury, was as follows: ‘‘Have you vot as parents often thought how dumb your children are!

But to u on with that lost soul. 1 believe wo brought it first to the sea. 1 told you nothing was lost. There is but a rebound The rebound kas to be taken, and that Jost spirit Is gainivg, yet galning a liold: and as you teach your bables how to take their tottering steos in thetirst loszons (f life, eo these epirits have to be brovght back and tangh-, and the lessons they have neglected, in white or In black, sro against them. They have to toil and march on their ways and s day by day, month by month, r by yeur, tlll their life is con- summatod, They have t» muke their own atonement. They rec gaize 1o si- vior you with your life. Yon do not have some ovno else to live 1t So mach the brighter your life will be by golng through thio vicissitudes, 8o your characters will ¢omo out brighter with the chastisement. Thoy continue to grow on, and by {hat growlng have advanced in humanlty. It sees things with a brighter, cloarer vision, By good actlons they atone their charactor, they atone their past, and 8o by that wonderful machinery ihey come to the frout littla by litde, till at last they act Jike spirits with their proper calibre and they can teach you the way they have come. However, there is still advancement. We bave our schools hers in which you are taught to manags and condact your- self to a higher standard, and to pattcrn by those who have got up to the realms of more perfect case. Underetand, that as you have dark and light, sunshine and shadow, that p-os spivlt that went away bad hay a right to come back as a good one. When they first come back, they sieze the medium aud make him act strange. They come back, and if they 'have had a love of drink, they mika those whom they con- trol huve such a desire, This Is why yon will not close your saloons, Men who are fond of drink will make resoluticns time and tlme agaiu, yct they cannot pass the door of loon, They ara taken in by that irresis'able force as was spoken of & fow minutss azo. When you obey na- ture's laws and get brelghter retlections, then your naloona will be able to clo and you will then begin to know what i fs tolive. You will have to begin at the base and start your structare afresh. 1 tell you it 1s vp-hill wors, which 1t will take your Life to scoomplish. Then comes that brighter than all the f )mcluunmu of & we l-spent life. The rough and rugged road has been trav: ersed; the redemption of our atonement has boen golg op; and you lay your burden down and pass to the other side. * But make Itas Jight as you can, and then you won't bave that dark, deep, troubled breast of that one that was lost and fs saved.” FOOLING WITH THE SLATE, The East Kod, as It Can't Have the Jounty Seat, Would Like the Legislative Homors, Last week's Macedonian submite eacefully to s voice of the people on g—'n wunE s question, and rites to s All uwllolul‘,nmtlom that have figured M()NDAY MARCH 23, 1885, in political issues of the past seem now to be eettled, at least for several years to come, Another railroad esst and weet =|thioogh the county In the near future practically settled the civision queation.

Visions of injunctions have been dancing before the eyes of the men by day and by night, It was ourrently reported that Captain Overton had three strapgers here, who wers gathering up ovidenco under kis directions, and that they got frightencd by threats and ekip- ped out.

A Little Statesman Who Might Taken for & Page. New York World. The oddest looking addition to the Sen- ate comes with Wisconsin. His name is Spooner. He Is the successer to Angus Cameron, wh> served out Mait Carpea- ter's unexplred term, He occupiis Sen- atoe Oullom’s old seat upon the short row behind the main body of the Republican Senators' seats. There have been before in the Senate [neignificant looking men, but never one who hasappreached Spoon- er in this regard. It Is the castom of the clerks and metsengers about the Senate when they ara In the Senate chember waitiog for orders to drop into any of the vacant ssats that there may happen to be in the back rows. Spooners position gives him the appearance of a meseongar walting to carry some bundle, Thers s not one * the messengers or clerks who does not look to be more of & man than he. Inthe first place, he is_under- pized. He is not a bit over five feot six inches in hefght and wouid not welgh over a hundred and twenty pounds. This would not be enough to make him look consplenously inferior among the tall men in the Senate if ha had a good sized head, one even in proportion to his small body. Senator Ves! is a smallman, but he has a large head full of character, and asho sita at his deek compares very favorably with those about him. Spoon- er's head is grotesque in its emaliness. His face is almost wizened in its thioness and sharpness of line. The lower part of hie face runs to asharp point, His eyes sro smsll and deeply sunk. His nose s s'oping, thin and stralght. His mouth is very large. His hair 18 a thick, sandy red which is brushed up fllppintly as if with a etifl whisp-broom from his right ear smooth into a solid bank of huir which stands cut ot rght avgles from the left side of his heao, completely covering ghe laft ear. The hair upon the back of his hoad is also brushed 10 this central point. He has the apprarance of having: been out ia a very high gale of wind and cof having had his hair troz:n stiff when {he wind was b'owing at its highest gnage of velocity., Invoiunterily, as one looks a% Spooner, he thinks of his windward and his Jeowsrd aides. Underncath his wildly blown masa’of hair his naturally small face becomes so veduced through contrastthay nothng but & photegesph would make any one belleve in the seal absurh'ty of his appearance.
