In 1868, Lizzie NJ Trask, Of Vienna,
lie. was dressmaking in Lewiston. She
ZANE into possession of a gold twenty-five
cent piece with q h:eIc II l. THIS she
showed as q curiosity TO her friends. At
that time she had a little niece 2 years
old, daughter of Jonathan p. Trask, now
the wife of Leman Butler, trader in Dit.
Vernon. The little coin Lizzie once
showed to her niece Addie whca she was
4 very small girl, telling her that she
would give it TO her when she was old
enough TO take care of it. Lizzie died
twelve years ago. In her possession vas
a lady's wallet with several compart-
ments. This wallet her mother used until
her death. seven years 80.
Then James, a brother Of Lizzie, had
It, and it has beer in constant use almost
daily ever since, either by him or his
wife. The little gold coin was never seer.
after Lizzie's death or before fof several
years by her friends, and its whereabouts
was not known. and, in fact, itseNistonce
had passed from their memory. a few
days ago Mrs. Butler made her parents a
visit, stopping with them several nights.
While there she dreamed that she saw
her Aunt Lizzio's wallet. and that it was
faced with green, and in a certain com
partment she found the little gold coin
which she saw so many years ago. On
telling her mother her dream she was in
formed that Lizzie did have n wallet
which answered her description, and
that her Uncle James had it. The wallet
Addie had never seen. She then visited
her uncle and told her dream to her
aunt, who laughed at the idea Of any
thing being in it other than what she
and her husband had placed there. But
at Adde'S earnest solicitation she pro-
duced it, and as soon as Addie saw it she
exclaimed: THAT is the same wallet
that l saw In my dreami" and pointed
out the compartment that held the treas
ure. She then took a needle, and, run
ming it TO the bottom, she drew forth a
newspaper, and in it was, indeed, a gold
quarter with n hole in it, wrapped, no
doubt, by tho hand of her aunt at least
twelve years before, where it had lain
all this time, without the knowledge of
any one, until Adde'S dream caused it
to be brought forth. Augusta (Me.) Age

DESIRABLE MOVE.

The news Of a combination between the
Union Pacific and Denver, Texas & Fort
Worth is now partially confirmed. The
information carries on its face evidence of
its probability. The president of the
Fort Worth road is Gen. G. NJ. Dodge
who was one Of the original projectors Of
the Union Pacific and is now a director Of
the transcontinental road.
The combination is in a line with the
Northwestern combination. 1t gives the
latter road an outlet from Omaha to the
Pacific coast and the Union Pacific an
eastern extension. The Fort Worth deal
would give that line a through route from
the Gulf OF Mexico to the Black Hills as
soon as the thirtY-eight mile gap between
the Cheyenne Il Northern and the Wy
oming Central is completed and eventually
a connection with the Northern Pacific.
1t will also form another connecting link
between the gulf and the Pacific.
This combination would undoubtedly
prove beneficial to Cheyenne because it
would greatly increase the traffic which
now passes through it, and would tend to
make OF the town even more Of a railroad
center than it is now. It would also mean
the extension Of a line to the Yellowstone
park. a development of the intervening
country to hat extent and a vast increase
Of the Eastern and Southern excursion
travel bound for the Wyoming wonder
land.
Where there is much smoke there is al
ways some FIRE. A combination between
the gulf road and the Union Pacific is a
natural and desirable one. There has
been much talk OF it and there are mutu-
al interests involved.
We sincerely hope that ii will prove to
be true, as it will mean a good deal for
Cheyenne and Wyoming.

LIVELY PACE

Mr.. 4. Amoretti, the Lander banker
who was in own yesterday, furnishes
even better evidence than has been re-
ceived, OF the extraordinary activity which
prevails in the oil regions OF Fremont
county. The lately started town OF Tim.
buctoo is a genuine roarer from all ac-
counts and corner lots while not quite
so valuable as they are in Cheyenne find
ready sale at prices which would put to
blush those received for acreage property.
Pretty nearly everybody in that section
has taken up an oil claim and according to
Mr.. Amoretti no less than $40, 600 has
passed through his bank in payment Of
these claims.
People who are looking forward to
Wyoming development through the COM
paratively slow medium of agriculture
may be surprised next spring at the boom
the territory will take on through its coal,
iron, oil. soda and copper developments.
Parts OF Crook county, including the
Belle Fourche region, show decided indi-
cations of the Fremont excitement over
oil and the coal development about the
eastern edge Of the Black Hills has GER
tainly reached marvellous proportions.
The spring and summer will undoubtedly
be exceedingly lively in Wyoming, and
the long neglected mineral resources Of
the territory will have a very great deal
to do with the activity.

In a recent article in the YoUth's Cont-
pdnton, on How to Cure a Cold" a
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bed time. 1t is a dangerous treatment
as it opens the pores OF the skin and
leaves the system in such condition that
another and more severe cold is certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons has fully demonstrated that there
is nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t acts
