HIS FATHER WAS DYING.
Young COsIer Found His Dream Was
Realty.

Isaac Cosler, aged sixty-six years. of zoos
Central avenue died suddenly at an early
hour yesterday morning. He had been COM
planning for several days, but on Tuesday
evening was much better. He retired at his
usual hour. About o'clock yesterday morn
ing he again complained of feeling i'll and
arose His wife asked if 1t would not be
best to send for a physician, but he told
her he thought he would be better direct
ly. He spoke Of pains about the heart.
Shortly afterward he went to bed again and
was resting much easier. Some time later
he grew worse and his wife sent his son
for a doctor. The father was dead before
the physician arrived.
A peculiar fact is related in connection
with Mr.. Cosler's death. His son stated
yesterday that when he was awakened to
dreaming that his father was dying. The
father of one of young Coslers friends died
a week ago and this bereavement, together
with his fathers condition, had weighed
heavily on his mind and was perhaps ac-
countable for his strange dream.
Mr.. Cosler came to Indianapolis about
three years ago from Illinois. He was a
prominent farmer of central Illinois and
had been very successful. He was well liked
on account of his affabe manner and his
strict principles of integrity and honesty.
He leaves wife and several children This
afternoon at o'clock funeral services will

cola I'll

fifty feet from its abutmentS and farmers
from the western part of the county will
be unable to come to town over the read

reports of flood damages are being sent out

in the report from that place published this
morning of a bridge and leVee being
bridge nor levee near the place. The only
trouble experienced by the road east of here

FOREsHADOws PEACE.
Tone of the Madrid Press Not So BeIli-
cOse as a Few Weeks AGO.

MADRID, March 30.-The general tone of
the press to-day foreshadows peace. An
exception is the Pals (Republican), which,
referring to the conference yesterday be-
tween the United States minister, Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford and Senior Sagasta
the premier, Senior Guion the minister for
foreign affairs, and Senior Moret the min
lister for the colonies, sees therein that the
United States is gaining time and awaiting
the rainy season SO as to take Spain at a
disadvantage in Cuba" The Pals also ex-
presses the belief that the Spanish govern
ment is prepared to make further conces-
sions to the United States and fears the up-
shot may mean loss of Cuba. money and
dignity" 1t further says that all the oues-
tons pending between Spain and the United
states We're, discussed yesterday, but that
morning further is known.

teeth and signs of revolution everywhere
half suppressed, the government looks with
suspicion on all private attempts to organ

war fund a sum of money equal to his earn

suggestion in New York would be met by
an indignant cutlery from stock spectators

sentiment of the people. The original plan
was that this should be done on May 2, the

A VICTIM ONCE BEFORE.
JeweIer MulalIy Could Not he
Worked Twice the Same Way.

A well-dressed young man made an I'M
successful attempt last night TO steal a
diamond ring from John p. Mulally, a Mon
ument Place jeweler. He rode up on a BIZ
cycle at o'clock and asked to examine
diamonds. lie looked at several and finally
found one that seemed to suit his fancy.
He put it on his finger and admired it and
edged toward the door, saying he would
show it to his brother, Frank Stense in
the barber shop next docr. Mr. Mulally lost
a fine diamond this way less than a year
ago and was suspicious. He declined to
allow the ring to go out of the store. The
young man was persistent.
There's my wheel there he said
which is ample security for the ring for
a minute. Mr.. Mulaily started around the
show case toward the young man, and the
fellow kept going toward the door. Mulally
picked up a pistol as he went and when
thevyoung man started TO open the door
covered him and commanded him to keep
his hand off the latch. Even then the Young
man insisted on arguing but Mr. Mulally
was convinced that he was a thief and
kept him covered with the pistol and made
him deliver the diamond. He found the bar
Der shop was closed and learned later that
Frank Stensel has no brother.
