REMARKABLE DREAMS.
Premonitions OF the Death of n Butte City
womun and Her Sister.

Prem onitions of the Death of Butte City
womau and Her Sister.
A short time ago Mrs. Thomas ]. JEFF
fries Of Butte City, Mon, was killed ut
railroad crossing while out driving. Many
Of the friends of the deceased lady now re-
call presentiment she had of her approach
ing death and in the manner she met IL.
Only few days before her death she called
on several Of her neighbors and told them
she had an indescribable feeling of impend-
ing danger, ard that she knew she would
coon die.
Her friends tried to persuade her that
there was nothing 20 fear from such pre-
sentiment and urged her to dismiss the
matter from her mind. She would not be
dissuaded, however, and requested the
friend to whom she was talking to interest
herself in the child when she was dead; also
named certain Of her neighbors whom she
desired to prepare her body for burial. At
the same time she expressed wish that no
other persons be permitted to touch he-
body. In fact, she made all suggestions
for her funeral and the care of the child she
would leave motherless.
A day or two before the fatal accident
Mrs JefTries was out buggy riding with II
party. During the drive they had occasion
to cross railroad track A train was up
preaching from the distance, and although
so far away that there was no danger the
lady thought the accident she 80 wildly ex-
pected was about to overtake her and near.
" tainted in consequence. When all danger
had passed, her attention was called to the
evident absurdity of her fears, but she sim
ply maintained that the time had not yet
arrived, and that sooner or later her pre-
sentiment would prove true
As further evidence Of the lady's
strange power to forecast and receive pre-
monitions of impending calamities, 1t is re-
lated by one Of her friends that some time
ago she had u vivid dream of funeral
passing her door. She asked some one as
to whose funeral it was. The answer, MS
she heard 1t IN her dream, was that the
dead person was her sister. Mrs. Jeffries
felt that the dream portended something
unr .rtunate, but was hardly preparedf fol
the telegram which she received next day
telling of the de i Of her sister, which
occurred at Der hoi..c in the east.
Mrs. Jeffrics was the last of a family o.
children. A brother hers was also killed

About three miles from one of the

"Only day or two"

"No."
"And yo' hain't much on the wras-

"No."
"Then mebbe yo'd better skip the
town altogether and pass on to tho

"But what has my weight and so
forth got to do with your son Abe?"
"a heap, stranger. My son Abe sorter
runs the town, yo' know"
"But he won't run me-
Won't he? That's what I'm a-tellin
yo'. As soon as Abe gifts sight of yo'

"Waal, if yo' was, Abe would cotton

best he had in the house. -
"And if l can'ti"
ABE is a curious kuss-a curious

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks.n
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

water proof, acid and alkali proof and

not. There is also a cheaper grade OF
paper adapted for use under mating

A goodly company intent on finding
out few things pertaining to citizenship
such as all intelligent citizens already
know and others ought to--came to the
the regular session, Wednesday, the 18th.
OF course it was not from any prevail
ing reluctance to task their husbands at
home" nor from any lingering doubt OF
the reliability of said source Of informa-
ton, that short course in civil govern
ment is recommended to the Unions OF
Michigan. Neither was it from any real
dislike of the husbands to confer instruc-
ton of this kind, as was proved by the
air with which members asserted that
can old voter" said thus and SO; albeit
some confusion in the, council resulted
when the cay so of old voters disagreed.
Perhaps that is how parties are formed,
and we may be drifting into politics be-

Several hundred citizens met at Corunna
last Saturday TO hear Pingree, O'Donnell
and DeLand discuss state and other taxa
ton. Pingree had announced by telegram
too late to have 1t generally announced that
he could not come. He had been SO posi-
tive in his statement that he would be on
hand that It Is believed he had no excuse
for not coming, except that he was afraid Of
the outcome IL he attempted TO discuss the
subject of taxation with Col. DeLand. y
Elmer Warren called the morning meet
ing to order in the opera house, and James
N. Mcbride entertained the audience until
the noon hour.
After dinner Frank Whelan gave short
but excellent talk urging the voters to read
and consider all political matters from the
standpoint that the greatest good to the
greatest number must in time be of more in
diyidual benefit than the pushing of claims
regardless of public welfare.
f. M. Shepard read paper which we
expect to print in full later, and make no
comment here. 1t was, we believe, the
best eyer prepared, and read by Shia-
wassee county man on the subject OF county
taxation and remedies for excessive leaks in
the county treasury.
Col. C. ". Iceland was introduced and
gave thorough review of the tax question
in Michigan and in Shiawassee county, and
so accurate was he in his statements that
most Of the foolish and incorrect ideas OF
the tax question IN Michigan were corrected
in the minds of the men present.
Hon. James ODonnell made a three
quarter hour speech, which was highly APP
preciated by everyone and added large
number of friends to the many he now has
in this vicinity. 1t was pleasant and
profitable meeting and will result in much
good.

the county for this purpose by the board Of
supervisors and the receipts covered into the
county treasury. The relief committee car
then make the orders payable from the
county treasury at once. Formerly it was

At the regular meeting Monday evening,
March %, Mayor Gould presided, with all
the aldermen in attendance.
A petition was presented signed by so tax
payers that the suit of the city against the
Owosso Mfg. Co., for obstructing part of
Chapman street by one of their dry kilns, be
discontinued.
Aid. Lamfrom stated that the suit was
liable to be called at any time, and, as about
all the business men on the west were in
favor of the said building remaining, and as
Mr.. Bentley was willing to pay costs thus
far incurred, be thought the suit should be
discontinued.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, speaking for Mr.. Bentley,
said that the above company had three dry
kilns, and as one OF them projected little
into the street, II compelled TO take one
down 1t would reduce their capacity just
0ne-third, and as about all the residents
near there were in favor of the building re-
naming he thought 1t for the best interests
of the city to have said suit discontinued,
Mr.. Bentley being willing to pay the costs.
A resolution was presented and passed
that the above company pay the sum of $75,
the same to be paid over to the city treas

at the polls. The chaos we all will re-
mem Der and also do We remember
the difficulties the Democratic party
encountered in framing a moderate
tariff law such as the people-pro-
ducers-ofthe country had been clam
oring for ever since they began TO re-
alize the frultlessness of increases in
the tariff to retain prosperity when
once created. The tariff barons de-
feated, half the battle was won, but
the gold power behind the throne held
on with death grip and despite q
healthy tariff law and an economical
administration of the government a
full measure of prosperity has not OBJ
tanned, but the business of the country
seems to be more solid and substantial
than at any time since the war tariff
was first framed to hoodwink the
toiling masses. With silver restored
to its original place in the mints of
the nation and the tariff law operat-
ing as it now does, the country will
be SO prosperous that the people will
never again trust the Republican par
ty with the power to cater to the
classes at the expense of the masses
nor to create an arlstocracy to throt-
tie the industries of the nation by en-.
s'aving the laboring people, the pro-
ducers of all the national wealth.

This is a New SWindle.

A neat swindle is being worked
with great success in nearby towns.
and our residents are duly caution
I'd. A woman book agent appears in
town and goes from house to house
leaving books for examination. Next
day man calls to see if the books
are wanted. A few days later the
woman agent again appears, and on
being told that the man has taken the
sample books she weeps coplously,
says the william has been collecting
her books all over town, pleads pow
erty and so on, and accepts the
proffered compensation.
