A Nightmare Drove Her Insane.

A ghastly nightmare has made Mary
B. Newkirk, of Seattle, insane. Only
the immediate presence of her husband
stops her rawlings. She relates her dream
like this: She awoke about a. m., and
in the dim light she saw her husband
lying beside her on her pillow. His face
had peculiar expression and she saw
it flush and then turn to deep blue
color. She tried to wake him, but
could not. Even as she gazed at him
she saw the flesh disappear and grin
ming skeleton lay there on the pillow be-
side her. This attenuated apparition
was apparently endowed with powers of
conversation and was very agile in its
movements. She was unable to scream.
but closed her eyes for an instant, and
when she looked again the skeleton held
aloft dagger from which blood dripped.
A voice said to her that it was her hus-
bands blood.-Portland Oregonian.

A Corkserew Railroad.

In Midway plaisance, just outside the
exposition grounds, the Worlds Fair
Tower company will erect an odd and
striking structure. The tower will not
be remarkable for its height, for 1t is to
be only $50 feet tall, but for the peculiar
method of getting to the top Of it. This
tower is something in the form Of a
corkscrew, surrounded by uprights of
steel. 1t consists of . winding track
leading to the top, the track being sup
ported by steel columns.
It is not intended to use elevators In
making the ascent, but instead cars pro-
PEELED by electricity will take the pas
sengers up. Near the top is landing
place in the form of floor that extends
entirely across the tower, which is 200
feet in diameter. Here passengers will
alight. From this landing place they
can get fine view of the grounds. The
company has secured its site and will
soon begin work on the tower.-Pitts-

specific for headache the cure was
effected by repeating an inoantation
while blowing the breath upon one of
the skins.
The yellow billed cuckoo has an air
of mystery; his style is reserved,
shadowy and elusive. On account of
his very long tail and bill he appears
much larger than he is; hence it seems
that he is difficult target for rifiemen
of the hills. and they have it that his
feathers are bullet proof. Many
time have l been told that chit air no

An October Bluff.


The tramp went boldly up to the

The lady was struck speechless.
Excuse me-" he repeated, "can I

"Snow?" she gasped. "Snow? There
isn't any snow on my sidewalk. We
don't have snow in October"
II know that, madam" he responded,
touching his hat, "but you will have in
January, and thought if you'd give me

glad to come around then and shovel it

One Boston clergyman at least is up

It will now be in order for him to preach

WEBSTER AS A SPENDTHRIFT.

An autograph record of Daniel Web

1888 to 1886, inclusive, has recently
been discovered. The first entry is $50
and the next 500. Then comes one of
81, 900, next So, 900; and there is one
of $5, 900 and another Of ~, 500. The
total amount for the first year is $l3, :
14O, for the second $15, 1874, and for
the third $21, 793 These were pretty
good earnings for that time, even for a
lawyer of Webster's great ability, but
he was always ''hard up" neverthe-

More than 1000 900 acres of land
are infested by the rabbit pest in Vic
toria, Australia. During the last
eleven years the Colonial Government
has expended nearly 100000 in
efforts to abate the pest, beside the ex-
penditures of individuals. The rabbits
are trapped for their skins, over $50, 900
pelts having been purchased monthly
in one town. The authorities of some
districts have decided to employ phos

the rabbits.

With ceaseless murmur by the willows gray;

Soft sleeps my flower at last. upon my knee;

posed. but the former was accepted,

manned true to the old love and led

INDEPENDENT ACTION.

The following extracts from a
speech made by Senator Walsh in the
Senate the other day, show that the
Senator has got the right idea:
The Democratic party is pledged
to the reconciliation of silver. With
regard to the free coinage of silver,
our party commits us to the use of
both metals, without discrimination
against either. While it is desirable
to secure the reconciliation of silver
by international agreement, still, if
the opportunity affords, would not
hesitate to vote for free coinage with
or without international agreement,
believing that the immense resources
and productive energies of this coun-
try would enable our Government to
sustain it on parity with gold and
compel recognition of it from the en-
lightened governments of Europe.
If our census returns be correct.
and take it for granted they are, the
decade from 1880 to 1890 shows the
most marvellous growth in population
and wealth i'll the world. The in
crease in population has been from
5O.OOO,OOO to G0,OOO,OOO or a per cent,
and the increase III wealth from 49,
GO0.0OO,0O0 to G5,000,000,0 or about
80 per cent. With this immense
growth of population and of wealth,
the United States ought to be in Il
position to establish and maintain its
own financial policy, as it does it's
