a GOLDEN HARVEST.
Ten-DoIlar Gold Pieces to Fill
Cotton Basket,

DALLAS, Tex, Augast 80 Especial.
The following story from Troupe Tex
} sounds very much as though Joe Mul
hatton had been In that Vicinity:
| On last "Wednesday, while Mr.. Hueb
ner, who lives five miles south of here Il
Cherokee county, was breaking groun'
for oats he noticed several pieces of vel
looking stuff among the clods {
)dirt but at first took them for small fla
rocks and gave them no attention until
they came very regular. He hen picke'
up one Ct the pieces and to his astonish
msnt discovered teu-dollar gold piece
He at once retraced his steps to see i
the other supposed rocks were also golt
pieces and found that they were. FL,
began picking them up until aoon hi
pockets were full. About the time theJ
we're getting scarce about the ground he
started his plough sgain, but made little
headwsy on account of stopping his
plough to gather the money. He con-
| tlnued alorg putting the money In his
dinner basket until 1t was filled. He
then began filling
LARGE COTTON BASKET
which he succeeded In filling bsfore he
quit work for the night. In the mean
time he had about all to be found. After
dark he hsstened to town to deposit his
immense and easily gotten fortune In the
bank here. Next day he continued his
search, but failed to find more of the
"yellow boys" Mr.. Huebrer is In

and refers to the bank for proof. Every
body has bsen around to see the large

DINooEN, Neb., August ga most
remarkable discovery has recently devel'
opsd In this city. 1t Is Of suoh an as
founding nature that the correspondent
hesitstea to give the circumstances to the
public on account OF being barred at
present from giving the names, although
there is no good rssson why itshould not
be done. Mowever, the gentleman who
has made the discovery requ ests 1t. This
disclosure consists In proving beyond the
possibility of doubt By scientific means
the existence OF the human soul, laying
bare the greatest secret of nature, and
proving the doctrine OF eternal faith,
"thst the soul of man doth llve," the
disclosures and proofs of which will
shortly startle and astonish the entire
world.
For the sake of convenience the gem
tleman alluded to will be called Mr.. Holl-
and, q man of small ststure, mild eye,
and Thoughtful countsnance, q devout
Christian, possessing a peculiar belief
that the soul Of man is counterpsry
OF the body itself; and In this theory of
tho dual man he sought the key of life
and death. He reasoned that within
the body of bone and sinew was yet an
other body existing in vspcry form which
death alone should free, and thst by q
simple microscopic device the dull sight
of human eyes might penetrate the min
utest particles of the air we breathe and
see the soul take form and fight to tho
boundaries of another world.
EUREKAl
His attention was first attracted to this,
he says, by a man lying upon sofa with
a pain 10 his foot, and yet there was no
foot there to suffer, the leg having been
smputated nearly to the hip. "For
years, says Mr.. Holland, "this incident
ran through my mind, until at last / re-
solved upon an experiment. i procured

The fated moment came about 1O
