WENT MAD OVER MONEY.
Sad Experience of a Minnesota
Family.

st. Cloud, Mimi, February 28.-In Sep.
TENDER last Mr.. Fisher, then living in this
city, concluded t. remove to Oregon. He
accordingly sold his farm, receiving there
for $500. Thinking that be might be
robbed of this money en- route, he placed
it in charge of his daughter Teresa. The
girl took 5000 and sewed it up in a quilt
Fifteen hundred dollars she put into a
lard pail, Towering it up with lard,
and placed il, together with some
other Baggage, into car. From
the balance she paid for the tick
cts for herself, father and mother, and
kept the remainder on her person. The
day before arriving at their destination she
lost her reason from fretting over the safety
of the money. she offered small sums
from what she had on her person to pas
sengers on the train whom she supposed
wanted to rob her. but, imagining that
they were still not satisfied snd wanted to
kill her for the balance of the money in
trusted to her by her father, she finally
jumped finn the fast-moving train near
Pascoe, w. T., nearly killing herself by
the fall. She was picked up, and on being
found insane was confined In the Stella
COON asylum.
In the latter part of January she some
how managed TO escape, and was only re-
captured about a week ago and returned to
the asylum. During her freedom she dress
ed in male attire and in the day time
wandered through the country. At night
she would sleep in the woods, under bridges
and remote places, in order to avoid ar
rest. The quilt and lard pail containing
the entire possessions of the Fisher family
have been lost and they are entirely desti-
tude. The mother has since died from
grief over the heavy misfortune. The
family is well connected here, and sister
OF the young lady is nun at Portland,
Ore.

Jefferson CITY. Feb. rs. About II O'Clock
last night the night Waterman at the CAPT

Imperial ball room where State Treasurer
holland was and notified him that eight
suspicious looking characters were in the
capitol building near the treasurer's Office,
and positively refused to leave when or
dered by the watchmau.
Mr.. holland Immediately went to the
scene and with the assistance of several
men succeeded in dispensing the tough
characters.
1t is thought be some that these men in
tended to rob the state treasury, as it had
been published by several papers that all

A few samples from among 10000

been absent. She has wandered over
the face of the country in search of
him, and she would now like to have
him take up the search. Many such
cases occur. Letters containing
souvenirs dear to the senders. but ut
terly va!ueless to any one else. are re-
ceived; letters of advice detailing
whole pension schemes to be substitu-

letters OF eXtravagant commentator,
of censure. of anger, of contempt, of
wrath, of unmitigable hostility; let
tiers OF insane writer's threatening
vileness and violence; letters excited
by the granting of pensions
and asking benisons upon the
heads of all concerned; letters of Bit

men upon those who have been trying
to do their simple duty-all these and
multitudes of others, fantastic, sober,
rational and wild, pour by the hun
dreds and thousands into the mail of

patience which forbears to respond,
and the sense of duty which compels
the neglect of idle inquiries, arise
many of the complaints and denuncia-

the figures which will show how idle
such complaints in general are / need
only say that the number of papers of

PUTTING BABY TO BED.
An Incident Which May Prove Of Great
Value to Many Parents.

An Incident Which May Prove Of Great
Value to Many Parents.
Last spring | spent night with a
friend. There were two children in
the family-the youngest bright,
restless boy, four years Old. who might
stand for the typical American child
aptly defined as "a bundle of nerves.
A lady and gentleman with their two
children were visitors at the house,
and after supper. Mrs. Brown, neigh
Dor, left her little boy and girl in my
friends care while she went to make a
call in the village.
The evening wore on. The children
played hard, and little Franks eyes
opened wider and wider with the in
toxication of the unusual excitement
After his bedtime was long past, his
mother came into the room where her
husband and | sat, and asked, anxious
ly: what shall do? told Frank he
could sit up until Mrs. Brown came
after her children, supposing she
would be gone only a few minutes.
Now, shall break my promise TO him,
or risk his being cross and i'll by all
this excitement"
Her husband raised his voice little,
and said: Where is Frank? l want
TO see him"
The child Immediately left his play
in the dining-room and ran to his
father, who lifted him in his arms and
held him from him for a moment, then,
clasping him lovingly, asked, in that
iovial tone of comradeship no child
could resist:
Whose boy are you?"
OF course the answer came. proudly:
''Papa's boy"
My boy"-a little surprised-"ar
you sure?"
The child laughingly re-asserted his
ownership.
well" continued the father, my
boy always does just what his mother
thinks best-gOes to bed just when she
thinks it's time"
A pause. Are you sure you're my
boy?" Oh. yes, he was papa's boy.
Then mamma" said the wise father,
~ on can undress this fellow just as
fast as you like"
The child was put into his little bed
in an adjoining room whence he could
hear the merry chatter of the other
children and the talk of the older peo-
pie and see the bright lights. There
was no lamp in his room. but somebody
laid down on the bed with him for
few minutes, when all at once he
turned his face to the wall and his clos
ing eyelids almost caught the happy
laugh on his lips as he dropped off to
dreamland. | said to myself: II will
put an account of this incident where
the fathers and mothers of those ba-
bies who associate bedtime with a cy-
clone of sobs, tears and spankings, or
a barter of candy and sugar for obedi-
ence, may read and profit by it if they
will. "-AnHa H. Libby, IN Christian

AN OLD SLAVES SECRET.

great deaf of e1citemtn nj at Moor6eld, Har-
dy county, over The publication of the fact
that company has been organized TO open
and work silver mine, located by local
tradition for Fifty years past in "Middle
Mountains few miles from the town.
Ten years before the war John Cater, a
slave owned by small farmer near Moor
field, locate the mine, and, going to his
master, told him he would show him where
the mine was provided he would set him
free. The master refused to do this, so the
old 6srkey never told where the silver
could be found. When the war set Cal
ter free he moved with family TO Mount
Pleasant, Pa
He died some years ago, but before his
death told his son Henry where to find the
mine. Henry has been back several times
and obtained silver from the m ne and had
it tested. 1t proved to be of the very best
quality, and Henry has various things
which he saws is made of this silver. For
years people have never been able to find
it.
However, large body of land on Middle
Mountsin was purchased BY a body of
gentlemen, composed of 5. A. McMechen,
H. s. Carr and others. Some of the COM
pany have been in correspondence with
Cater about the mine. Cater says the
mine is on this land, and finally agreed to
come and point it out for 25 per cent of the
yield of the mine. Cater arrived last
week, and work was begun at once to fix up
the papers. Cater seems very confident
about the matter, aud says that as som as
the papers are properly arranged he will
carry out bis part of the agreement
