REVEALED By A DREAM.
Bones of Murdered Woman Discovered
Through a Bof's Vision.

Zones oil murdered woman DiscOVoreu
Through a Boys Vision.
KINsLEY, KAN, Feb. "a dream and its
remarkable results have set the tongues
wagging in this city and through what APP
pears to be supernatural means, it is pos
sible that an old crime will be unearthed and
the criminal brought TO justice. About
half mile from town there is m old tumble
down cabin with decaying outbuildin2s on
deserted farm. A boy went to the old cabin
one night about three weeks ago and slept
all night inst for the "fun of the thing" as
he expressed it. Next morning he returned
home and was badly frightened by q dream
which he said he had during the night. He
said he dreamed that O man came slipping
through the door OF the cabin and crept up
to the corner where there was q bed and
stabbed some one who was living on the bed.
Then the man took the body and carried it
out to the old barn and dug whole and
buried it,. The boy gave q verv accurate
description of the man and it has been learn
cd that - man answering the description
once lived on the farm. So impressed were
several other boys with the dream that four
of them, including the boy who had the
dream, went TO the place and dug under the
barn were the dreamer saw the body buried.
To their horror they urlarthed the bones of
n human being which the physicians say are
those of a woman and say that they have
been under the ground for at least Is years.
The matter will be investigated by the
authorities and a search made for the occu-
pant of the farm who answers the descrip-
tion of the man in the dream.

ent did not deceive him yesterday. For
years q strange man, named Bernard Cress-
| Ter, has lived alone away up toward the
source of the Cheat river. He is known as
scientist and astronomer, and of late queer
| reports have crept down the mountains OF
strange doings in the vicinity of his little
cabin. OF all the hobbies this man rides, one
is paramount, and has been the cause OF his
leaving civilization far behind, that he
might study and experiment alone with
nature on his peculiar ideas regarding n.y.
ing machine. CresSler has spent many years
in this study, and believes the only perfect
flying machine is that invented and con-
troiled by the Divine Builder.
CreSSler says that so far all flying macnlnes
have been made to combat the forces OF
nature and overcome the resistance of air
currents by an innate power OF the machine,
and 1t is in this they have failed. "As well.

built that with immovable wings they can
soar for hours, not combating the winds,
but utilizing the air currents as power to

strength exerted by each muscle or set of
muscles. and applying them to the whole de-

muscle necessary, and, besides that, has ten
fold the requisite strength.
Cresslers machine is made to be worn,
like any other suit. 1t fits him like glove,
and is manipulated by him instnctively as

wind is blowing, he rises with it, making no
effort to combat the air current, but adapt

wings, which are enormous but as light as
possible, to guide his flight In fact, Cress-
Ter does not fly, he scars. More Intelligent
flight, coupled with absolute certainty OF
direction, will come with practice.

Fortune Smiles on a Penniiess Man Who
Finds a Silver Cavern.
CREEDE, Col, Feb.2a.-Yesterday as pros
pecoor named Brandt was working over
Bachelor Mountain, he stumbled upon a
find which raised him in . moment from
comparative poverty to opulence. His find
was n cavern, the roof of which, vaulted and
hanging with stnlactites showed groupings
of pure silver ore running $1,000 to the ton.
This chamber is so feet wide and 200 feet
long, and contains enough ore on the surface
TO make Brandt u millionaire. Beside the
silver the cavern contain utensils, skeletons
and remains. evidently those of Cliff Dwell

reported the find here and the people went

CHIcAGo's SEDUCTIVE wILEs
Capture That Fraction of Congress That Is
Visiting the Worlds Fair City.

Visiting the Worlds Fair City.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22-The visiting Congress
men and diplomats spent the greater part of
the day at jackson Park inspecting the
Worlds Fair buildings, and the result is
that tonight nine out of every ten of the
Representatives and Senators express their
willingness to vote for an appropriation for
the Worlds Fair. As the visitors only COM
prise about 100 of the 400 or more members
of the Fifty-second Congress, to-day's sight
seeing and explanations by no means indi
Gates the success of the coming appropria-
tion bill.
The trip to the Fair grounds was under the
charge of the Transportation Commit
tee OF the local directory. There was nat
urally q great deal OF curiosity regarding the
progress of the Fair buildings, and the COM
mitteemen, as well as several Worlds Fair
officials scattered through the train, were
kept busy answering questions. 1t had
been agreed that the visitors should be left
entirely free to form their own conclusions,
and nothing was done. either to hamper the
true exercise of their individual views or to
secure any pledge of support. This feature,
which has been steadily adhered to during
the Congressional visit, is greatly appre-
ciated by the visitors.

be "Quay delegation" 1t was suspected ut
the time that this report was given out with
the purpose of injuring the Senator in pub

mated has for long time been known as un-
friendly.
Some comments upon the rumor were sent
to Senator Quay by some of his Pittsbur-
friends, and there was received in reply
telegram from st. Pierce, Fla from the Sem

solutely false and complete fabrication. 81

the State Normal school, ut Edinbopo, to-
day filed bill in equity and asked for u

WHY THE GOLD Is GOING.

austria Is Iryfng TO AcCumuIate Enough 10
Resume Gold Payments.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The explanation of gold exports at this
time is that Europe is selling to us moro
stocks and bonds than is sufficient to wipe
out our favorable balance of trade, notwith-
standing our enormous exports. Tie reason
for this is the effort of Austria to accu,nu-
late $50 oOO. .ocO in gold by means OF a loan
with which to resume gold payments. which
must como from European stocks OF gold OF
from ours.
The result of Austria's effort to resume
gold payments is n serious disturbance of
the worlds finances which may we'll be
watched with apprehension on this side of
the Atlantic.
