An oil well Just drilled on the farm

The Grand Lodge of Masons Of West

Saw the Gates Opened.

A special dispatch from Wheeling
W. Va, Thursday says: Mrs. Ale1an-
der Taylor, widow thirty-fve years
old, has been slowly dying OF con-
sumption for a week. Wednesday
morning she became unconscious: a
doctor was called and pronounced her
dead and funeral preparations were
begun. About midnight her friends
were astounded to see Mrs. Taylor
move, open her eyes and ask tor
water. She asked, it is said, that
favorite niece, who lives in Iowa, be
summoned at once to receive a mes
SAGE from her mother, who had been
dead several years. Mrs. Taylor SAID
her spirit was disembodied and
scared through space till a brilliant
and beautiful grove was reached.
Here angels were flying about, guard
ing what seemed the entrance to
heaven. She was refused admlttance'
but was allowed to converse at a snort
distance with her husband, who died
last winter, and with her sister, the
mother of the favorite niece. The
message sent for the niece she refused
to disclose, except to the young wo-
man. Mrs. Taylor says she was prom
ised that she could come to para
disc very soon.
Mrs, TAYLOR died Saturday morning
at 2 o'clock. She again had the VS.
ion before she passed away, brighter
and more vivid than the first. She
told it calmly, but ecstatically she
felt her soul was disembodied, and she
was waited through boundless space,
first down in a valley of deep shadows,
and then over vast broken rocks, cha
otto in character. Then the scene
changed, and she approached a vast
walled city on an eminence-a city
shining and surprisingly beautiful.
As she approached, the gates open
ed, and she saw her husband beautl-
fed and holding forth beckonlng
hand to her. Then she saw her sister
in radiant light, and before her en-
raptured eyes passed her playmates,
friends and loved ones Of years ago,
She saw on the golden streets count
less hosts of children, in unimaginable
baautv and radiance. But the cen
tral figure, immeasureably brighter
than all, with the halo Of glory about
him, was the King Of Glory. She
pleaded to go in, but was waved back
and told: ''Not yet, not yet. Go back
to earth and reveal what you have
seen" May Taylor, daughter Of ex-
Representative Samuel Taylor, lead
ing lawyer her niece, got to the bed,
side of the dying woman, who related
to her and to her other relatives the
beautiful story. Those listening
sobbed brokenly, but Mrs. Taylor was
strangely calm.
Her physicians offer no ezpIanai,
ton, but say her mind was clear, and
that she was not under the influence
Of any opiates.

TrouhIesome to the Army.

During the civil war, as well as with
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea

eases the army had to contend with.
In many instances it became chronic
and the old soldiers still suffer from it.

Who Will Be Our Next President ?

Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900, but the
war has so overshadowed all other mat
ters that politics is almost unnoticed.
Many people are of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1896,
but there may be dark horse who
will win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. This is also true
with medicine. The most popular rem
edy to-day is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, and it has retained this for many
years. Science never discovered the
equal Of this medicine for stomach, liv-
er and kidney diseases. 1t builds up
solid flesh tissue, imparts vigor and
vitality to all organs, and makes life
worth living. A bottle will make big
change for the better. Try it.

Chicago banks which have been affix-
ing stamps to unstamped checks pre-
sented by their customers have been
informed that such action is illegal and
that they must return to the customer
any unstamped check presented for
payment From practical point OF
view it might seem immaterial to the
government who stamped the checks
paid in bank so long as all checks are
stamped. The instructions issued by
the martinets of the revenue depart
ment have omitted to state on which
part of the check said stamp should be
placed-whether on the upper right
hand corner, the lower left-hand angle,
or on the center or at the side. Subse-
quent rulings will doubtless clear up
these important and controverted
points.
