FULFILLMENT OF DREAMS.

IF Friends Forctold.

From the Medical and Surgical Reporter.
This singular incident occurred on the
occasion of the late murder of MI. II. M.
S~tribling by l. E. Gladson, at Markham,
Fauquier county, Va, the former a des,
cendant of Chief Justice Marshall, ana
OF DIR. Stribling, 80 eminent for his treat
ment of the insane. Two remarkable
condolences have been published in con
nection with the killing of young Strib-
ling, viz:
DIR. Walter Bruce, his brother-in law,
a native of Virginia, now resident at
Micanopy, Fla, late on Friday night,
December %, awoke from a sound sleep,
feeling that there was some mysterious
presence in his room, and got up and
lighted a lamp. Finding no one, he re-
turned to bed and fell into q light sleep,
and had a dream or vision of his wife's
brother, h. Nj. Strlbling, in a deadly
conflict, in which he had his throat cut
in a horrible manner, and was removed
to a store near by, placed on a counter,
and after a lapse of time died from the
effects of the wound. DIR. Bruce, though
far from believing in ''isms," such as
~spiritualism, visited a medium in the
town, who told him that some awful
calamity had befallen young Strlbling
The vision and its effect Oh the mind Of
DIR. Bruce prevented him from sleeping.
Sure enough, the next mail from
Virginia announced the death of his
brother-in-law in the exact name and
at the very hour he had appeared to him.

A GROWING CITY

The remarkable growth of Omaha
during the Last few years is a matter of
great astonishment to those who pay an
occasional visit to this growing city. The
development of the Stock Yards-the
necessity of the Belt Line Road-the
finely paved streets-the hundreds of new
residences and costly business blocks,
with the population of our city more than
doubled in the last five years. ALI this
is a great surprise to visitors and 10 the
admiration of our citizens. This rapid
growth, the business activity, and the
many substantial improvements made a
lively demand for Omaha real estate, and
every Investor has made a handsome
profit.
Since the Wall Street panic last May,
with the subsequent cry of hard times,
there has been less demaud from specula-
tors, but a fair demand from investors
seeking homes. This latter class are
taking advantage of low prices In build
ing material and are securing their homes
at much less cost than will be possible q
year hence. Spectators, too can buy
real estas , cheaper now and ought to take
advant present prices for futur

ave' opments in Omaha than the past

We could reasonably desire. New man

all add to the prosperity of Omaha.
There are many in Omaha and through
out the State, who have their money In
the banks drawing a nominal rate of n

Omaha real estate, would bring them
much greater returns. We have many
bargains which we are confident will

near future.

Old Evansville Foreman.

Denver News.
The article which appeared in the
News of Saturday morning concerning
the great amount of type set in the office
on Wednesday night has been the cause
of considerable comment among the typo
graphers of the city. Each all conceded
that the setting OF 2l4 200 ems in nine
hours by nineteen compositors, and that,
too, on solid minion, ia something far
above the average; and also taking into
consideration the fact that it ia very sell

nineteen ''swifts" are employed in the
same office. The record made that night
