Strange Reunion at Dunning of Husband
ard Wife.


CHICAGO, April ia strange story
comes from the county insane asylum
OF the reunion of husband and wife
who thought each other dead. George
Hilimsn. u svitchiender of Oak Park
went to the market to get some meat
last November and was delayed longer
than expected. His wife. who is of an
excitable temperament, fearing harm
had betallen her husband, went to
look for him. He returned IN the
meantime aud, finding the house de-
serted. went to look for his wife.
Strange ~ it may seem, both became
insane from worry and were picked up
on the street by police officers. The
woman was sent To the asvium. Hill
mans arrangement was not SO serious
and he Was committed TO the poor
house. By . singular coincidence,
however. the bailiffs confounded HILL
man with an insane patient, who Was
cent to the poor house IN HiilmaI's
place. the latter being sent TO the
asylum. Wednesday husband and wife
met and recognized each other. 1t is
thought that the fortunate reunion Of

their minds.

Richest Strike Of Pay Dirt at Creede.

Richest Strike of Pay Dirt at Creede.
CREEpE, Colo, April 15.-This whole
town is mine mad, and even the boys
play at mining. That this has been of
benefit to at least two people is shown
in the assay OF some ore found bv the
sons of Mr.. Weaver. who keep
boarding house. and William Ander-
son, a miner. These boys dug a tun-
mel IN the side of the hill back Of Mrs.
Weaver's house. After getting IN
about ten feet they struck solid rock,
which showed signs of mineral. The
boys told their parents about the won.
derful mine, but no attention was paid
TO their talk. Last Sunday Anderson.
who 10 q wIdower, went to zee Mrs.
Weaver, who is a widow, and while
there the boys insisted that
he should go to zee their
mine. He went out and soon
came back terribly excited. lie en-
joined the strIctest secrecy on the boys
and Mrs. Weaver, and sat up that
night until midnight IN order TO stake
out the claim IN the name of himself
and Mrs. Weaver. lie then went 10
bed and early next morning took sam-
pies of the mineral 10 an sssayer and
found that rich pay lead had been
struck. The ore carried free gold and
Was also rich in silver. The two metals
assayed over $1,000 . ton. The claim
bids fair to be one of the richest in the
camp aud will re tain the name gwen IL
by the poys--the Tin Bucket Mine.
They had done most of the work with
a tin bucket which had been given
them. and the result is that their nlay
name is liable TO become known all
over the world, for the mine - un-
donbtedly 60 rich that IT will attract

that "a anti-semitIc program will be

against the Hebrews on account of the
general support gwen by the Hebrew
press - the primary education bill,
aud for that reason many who were IN
different 20 anti-seminsm, or even op-
posed to IL, are now inclined to repres-
sive action in regard TO the Jews. The
recent large influx of Jews from Rus
sa. Poland and other regions has also
csussd a strong feeling against them
among the working classes, who look
upon them ss rivals IN the labor field,
and all tho conditions are considered
favorable to q revival Of an anti-semi-
TIC movement.
