A Dream that Proved True.

Nearly everybody here, says the
Silver State, and along the railroad
knew ]. G.. Big Brown the conductor,
who ran on the G.. p. r. r. few years
ago. He died recently, and j. X.
Hopkins, now OF Princeton, Illinois,
sends the following relative TO his
death from the Chicago Times OF March
80:
CARTHAGE, H., March 20. - A
strange incident has come to light
which may interest people who be-
lieve in the fulfllment OF dreams.
There was to be a ball in Dallas City,
this county, few days ago, and n
prominent young society lady of the
place was preparing TO attend. Her
escort was to have been j. G. Brown,
a Santa Fe railroad conductor. The
night preceding the party the young
lady dreamed that she beheld wagon
drawn by two horses, and in the vehi-
Gle lay the mangled body Of man
whom she could not fully recog-
nize, but who strongly resembled her
intended escort. The hideous dream
frightened her, and in the morning
she communicated it to several friends,
who laughed at what they termed her
foolish fancies. Conductor Brown was
fatally mangled by the cars that day
at noon, and as the solemn procession,
headed by the wagon bearing the
mangled remains, filed up the street
the young woman cried: "That il
my dream! Oh, that was my dream p
and swooned away.

canto OF Dante's Inferno, acted in all its
fiery pomp and splendor. Banners of
fame would now be waved out by dark
smoke hands, then ten million curling
little pennons Of FIRE would hiss and
futter, then vanish, and a dark and
reeling tower Of smoke. whose darkness
was stabbed and spangled with flame and
sparks. would fill the scene, while all
around the surrounding buildings grimly
shot back from rejecting surfaces a
crimson greeting. and up in the far-ofi

pale for shame, and the moon through
the drifted smoke glowod like bowl OF

BEER.
A Few Figures and Points Regard
ing that Beverage.


One of the curious phenomena Of
the day is the steady increase in the
consumption Of beer in this and other
countries. Notwithstanding the grow
ing cheapness OF wine and the in
creased production Of whisky, the con-
sumption of beer seems to outstrip
that Of all other drinkables. Forty
years ago the total consumption of
beer in this country was only 36,000,-
900 gallons; it is now about $50, ,000,-
900 gallons, being an increase OF
nearly twenty-fold, while the increase
in the consumption Of spirits in the
same period has only been 80 per cent.
OF course much is due to the cheap
ness OF the popular beverage. Lager
beer is within the range Of every
purse, and it is becoming the fayorite
drink not only Of Germans and Amer
leans, but even of Frenchmen, ltal-
ians and Spaniards.
In this country the increased con-
sumption averages over 10 per cent
per annum. In 1887 the sales OF malt
liquor were 29,199,741 barrels, not
quite half barrel to every man,
woman and child in the country. We
figured some months ago that the con-
sumption in this State alone was five
and one-half gallons per head OF our
people, including men, women and
,Is1I... I.. tRaVtc af tho State
the native wines still hold their own
against King Gambrinus. But in the
cities beer steadily makes its way.
The business of beer-brewing here,
as in England, is one Of the most prof
table in which person can engage.
According to the figures furnished in a
late number of the Brewers Journal
the actual cost OF material consumed
in making a barrel of beer is at the
present time 81 Is. In Illinois and
Wisconsin the brewers are mixing
corn with their barley, which reduced
the cost OF the ingredients very ma
terially. The cost of manufacturing
and barreling is about 80 cents; the
tax is 81; il the cost OF delivery, col
lection and advertising be figured at
dollar more, a liberal estimate, the to-
tai cost to the brewer will be SO 9S,
say "a per barrel. The barrel con-
tains 81 gallons, so that we may figure
that the cost to the brewer is some
thing under 13 cents quart. 1t must
pay pretty we'll to sell this article at
five cents glass.
Beer is being adulterated, as we
said, with corn in the Northwestern
States; in England they are mixing
sugar with the compound in the pro-
portion of one part OF sugar or syrup
to twenty pounds of malt. But the
best beer there as here is one which
contains the largest proportion Of bar
ley matt and the least proportion Of
anything else. Probably the best and
most wholesome beer in the world is
made from California chevalier barley.

A CHANGE OF POLICY.
Sherman declared that the policy OF
the Government was changed by this
amendment, but this did not seem to
scare anybody, for a policy that had
reduced prices thirty-three and third
per cent in the last thirteen years was
not entirely satisfactory, and il re-

The History o" CInmbus.,

The following, according to the Lon
don Standard, is a boys composition
about Clumbus:" Clumbus was a
man who could make an egg stand on
end without breaking it. The King Of
Spain said to Clumbus: Can you
discover American Yes said Clum-
bus, If you will give me ship So
he got ship and sailed over the sea
in the direction where he thought
America ought to be found. The
sailors quarreled, and said they be-
lieved there was no such place. But
after many days the pilot came to him
and said: Clumbus, | see land.
Then that is America, said Clumbus.
When the ship got near, the land was
full of black men. Clumbus said SIS
this American yes, it is, said they.
Then the chief said: Il suppose you
are Clumbus?' you are right said
he. Then the chief turned to his men
and said; There is no help for it; we
are discovered at last

The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
That this committee cordially and en-

penses, restored many millions of acres of

plus in the Treasury and tighten the bur-
den of taxation on the mass Of the peo-

The line of policy laid down in the

especially commends itself to US as a sure
guarantee of prosperity to all classes of
producers and of that genuine and hon.
est protection to labor SO long promised
but never vouchsafed by the monopolistic
legislation of the so-called Republican
party.
We congratulate the whole country,

cludes all further immigration of Chinese
laborers to this country, andprevents those

President Cleveland, and earnestly and

We favor the exclusion from our coun.
