dream, the great holes in 1t and half form

The sun was high in the heavens. With
fancy's eye she could see 1t feeding hill
and dale with golden glory, dispelling au-
tumnal mists in forest glades and lending
richer, rarer tints to the gorgeous livery
of the woods In fancy, too, she could
hear the sweet songs of birds, the merry
laugh Of happy children gamboling on vii
lage greens, and her whole soul rose in re-
volt and her heart cried out with its pain.
She longed TO leave her bed and be up and

Observation-Disclosures. As the doctor
went into tho house, leaving me to hold

hale old farmer whose son was now man
aging the property. "You have no grand
children" inquired.
"She he'd onc," he said. jerking his

"That WINS sad," ventured.

the moisture from his eyes and sat himself
carefully down ON the softest sofa pillow.

MORE BIDS RECEIVED.
Vanstrum Stock Finally Sold to De-
partment Bidders.

Judge Russell presided over the bid
ding in the assignment of the VanStrum
Supply house yesterday, and lively
time resulted. 1t had been expected
that the whole thing was over Saturday
when the bids had been closed, and
the highest bidder ascertained, and the
business yesterday was supposed to be
the confirmation of the sale.
When court opened there were a large
number of bidders present, who asked
again. There was an objection to this
by the successful bidder, for the reason
that the bids had been closed Saturday,
but Judge Russell stated that it was
his idea that it was the duty of the
court to get as much money out of the
estate for the creditors as possible, and
he would therefore allow more bids
introduced. Immediately there was an
influx of bids, and each raised the other
all through the morning. 1t was a
combination of department bidders try
ing to outbid the bidders for the whole.
After all the bids were in, it was
found that the department buyers had
won, and that they would pay $42 092
for the stock, and $4,000 for four months
rent of the store, cash in advance, sub
ject to sale. A. Knoblauch secured the
groceries, clothing and boots and shoes.
Jared How, the dry goods, and the
hardware was divided between five pur-
cbasers, with Vath & Miller taking
the balance. This is a considerable
advance upon the first price offered,
and $2,100 over the price offered last
SATURDAY.

SUIT AGAINST ECKELs.
Minneapolis People Claim Certain
Orders of His Were Illegal.

Fright on the heels of Comptroller of
the Currency James H. EckelS' visit to
Minneapolis comes the filing of a SEN
sational case against him in the United
States circuit court. In fact the case
brought to set aside an order issued
by the controller.
The suit is brought by Alonzo Rand,
Rufus Rand and Kate A. Ogle, of Min
neapolis, against James H. Eckels and
Philip Tillinghast, who is receiver of
the Tacoma National bank. These
plaintiffs have been sued in another
suit, brought by the receiver of the
bank, for an assessment Of SCI on each
of the fifty shares of the defunct bank
held by them. They bring the present
suit in reply to that, urging that they
were never legally shareholders of the
bank. 1t originally had a capital of
$4,000 and in 1892 it was voted to in
crease the capital stock to $500,000. At
that time, the plaintiffs invested in fifty
shares at 500 each, which they claim
were void because the comptroller
of the currency-Eckels' predecessor
did not authorize the increase in stock.
They further declare that on the day
before the bank failed-Oct. 3d. 1886
Comptroller Eckels issued a statement
authorizing the bank to increase it's
stock to $780, 900, and then closed it the
premises of legality given to the in
creased issue of stock as no other foun-
dation than this eleventh. hour au-
thoriZation, which they claim is itself
illegal.

MILLIONS HINGE ON HER FINDING.
Dutch Fortune Held From Ameri-
cans Because of Missing Sister.

NEW YORK, Aug. EX-SENATOR Les
perges, a builder and real estate dealer
of Williamsburg, is wealthy, but will be
much weather. if he shall succeed in
finding his missing sister, the widow of
Count Schlegel of Hainault, Holland.
If she be found and her signature OBJ
tanned to certain papers, the Dutch
government will hand over to her, to
Mr.. Lesperges and to another brother
in France, $4,000, 900, with compound in
terest for many years.
If the countess be not found before
1904 the government will assume that
she is dead, and will divide the prop
erty between the two brothers, or
among their descendants.
M. j. Egan, of 300 Broadway, Mr..
Lesperges' lawyer, said today that the
countess was last seen in Rheims, eight
years ago, when she unaccountably dis
appeared. Since then all Europe and
North and South America have been
searched for her in vain. Her rela-
tives believe she is alive and in the
United States. if not in some French
