THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
Case In Which the Condolences
Were RemRrknhIe.

On an occasion during the civil war
| dreamed that | was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along it strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the
1anks. l asked one of these guards
who the prisoners were and where
they had been captured. He informed
me that they had been taken in an en-
gagement with the enemy on the
day before and that there were 1000 of
them. | then asked some byStander
what day of the month it was and was
told that it was such n day of a certain
month, some six weeks later than the
date of the dream. The whole dream
was extremely distinct. and it made Il
strong impression on me. | related 1t
to a number of my comrades within
the next few days and then thought of
it no more.
Six weeks later. on the morning OF
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the
column of prisoners had passed before
me, | was on picket two miles distant
from the point where | had seemed to
be when l saw them. 1t was soon aft
er breakfast. anu l was standing by
the side of the road at the fire talking
to the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been n
schOOlfellOw of our officers at West
| Point and reined up when he recog-
niZed his friend. He told us that he
had good news. that there had been a
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured. 1000 prisoners, who had
just passed the headquarters that
morning on their way to the rear.-St

A Snow Hurricane.

The Duran, or snow hurricane Of the
Pamirs is n meteorological phenome-
non of great interest. Even in mid
summer the temperature during a
snow Duran frequently falls to IA de-
grees f., while in the winter of 1923
it dropped to 40 degrees below zero at
the end of January. The Duran comes
with startling suddenness, the atmos-
phere growing dark with whirling
snowdakes where scarcely a minute

The Princess Bismarck chonged tbe
political history of France unwittinglv.
ana but for her the Franco-Prussian
war might never have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France.
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
her beauty to influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smOOthed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries
That evening there was grand re-
ception. ana Eugenie received the
guests in gown which made her so
raviShingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, StOlid and in love
with his wife, stood and gaZed upon
her with admiration. And Eugpnie
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came with
his wife upon his arm.
Now. the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt and ugly. and her feet were
generous. AS she walked she showed
a great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugenie an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck.
who was quick as a flash. followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi-
cal history Of France was altered from

A year later. when Paris was be-
sieged, Bismarck himself fired a can
non over the ramparts. and those who
were near him heard MIN snOut:

Slow Trains.

Slow railroad trains are probably not
peculiar to any locality. The story of
the conductor who waited for the hen
to complete the dozen of eggs for the
market is IA part of the folklore of
widely diverse regions.
There used to run over a Vermont
rOad-and alsC, it may be remarked,
over a Wisconsin road-what was
known as the ''huckleberry train," the
Jest being that it was so slow that
passengers could jump off at the front
end of the train and pick huckleberries
for awhile and then get on at the rear
end as it came up.
The engineer of the Vermont train
of this title is imaginatively declared
to have shot two partridges one day
from his cab, which the fireman ''r9-
trieved' without any additional "slOw-
ing up

tract, or by any one to whom the

of the political code provides that any
trustees, for any salary due any teach
er on contract and for all, debts legal
ly contracted under the provisions Of
this title; and they shall pay such
judgment or liability out of the school

Where there is no money in the treas
ury to the credit of the district. tho
trustees are, under section 1877, prohib-
tied from drawing a warrant, but the
issuance Of the certificates of indebt-
edness above referred to, which could
be sold or assigned, would enable thu
a judgment that the trustees would be
obliged to pay as soon as the funda
of the district are replenished.
The supreme court of our state, in
the case Of the state eX rel. Shapley
VS.. the board of county commissioners
SOB, held that the commissioners Of the
county have power to levy tax on
the taxable property of the school us
trict within their county to satisfy
judgment against the trustees Of such
district where the funds under tho
to pay the same and the mandamus
would lie to compel such levy by tho
commissioners. When this decision was
rendered there was no special statute
requiring the commissioners to make
such levy and neither is there such Ct
statute at the present time. All tho
provisions of law having any bearing
at all on the subject were the same
then as they are now, so that there
has been no change of legislation that
would cause the supreme court to de-
part from the decision rendered in tha
case cited.
Therefore. even though we have no
additional legislation to rescue the
schools from the unfortunate situation
that now confronts them, on accouns
of the failure to collect the spec!st
school tax that has been voted. yet
would advise that you could safely and
legally pursue the course stated above.

THEY SEEK PEACE.
Overtures Being Made by the Mohamme-
dan Chiefs.

uan Cnlcls.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Mail advices to
the war department indicate lmportah'
negotiations in the Mohammedan section
of the archipelago, outside of the much
discussed territory Of Sulu. Through the
efforts of X. Engelskjohn, gentleman
Of Norwegian birth, who enjoys the con-
fidence of the Tagalo chiefs in Mindanao.
overtures of peace have been MADE 10
General Otis at Manila. Mindanao is al
most equal in size to Luzon being one OF
the two great islands of the Philippines
The Mofammedans there number 10000
and Spain has maintained little more than
nominal sovereignty. Thirty OF these
chiefs held a conference with Mr. En-
geskjohn at Zamboanga and drew up
form of treaty proposing terms of peace.
They have suffered greatly from the in
roads of the Moros, and offer to submit
to the authority of the United States on
the sole condition that sufficient Ameri-
can garrisons be established in the Islands
to protect them. These proposals were
submitted to General Otis on the arrival
of Mr.. Engelskjohn, but what action has
been taken is not yet known.
An escaped Spanish prisoner from the
insurgent lines north of Manila has ar
rived at Angeles. He confirms the re-
ports that the insurgents are running
short of Mauser ammunition and are I'M
able to refill cartridges of this class. He
says, however, that they are well sup
piled with Remington ammunition, which
they manufacture themselves. They also
manufacture dynamite and powder from
petroleum and salt. which Is shipped them
from Manila and taken into their lines a.
night.
Of the IA American prisoners held by
the insurgents at Tarlac. the rebels claim
that four have accepted commissions IN
the insurgent army. Two Scotchmen,
named Mckinley and Macintosh nave
escaped from the rebels. They say that
the insurgents claim to have $50 American
prisoners scattered through various towns
but they know of none, personally, eX-
cepting Lieutenant Gilmore and his Il
sailors The insurgents say, however, that
they have two American officers in con-
nnement besides Lieutenant Gilmore.
Colonel Smith, at Angeles, has sent to
General Macarthur placard in Spanish
which was found nailed to a tree out
! side the lines. 1t was an appeal to the
| eolored troops to Join the insurgents il
| the fight for freedom, and referred to
| "your brothers, Sam Hose and Gray
whose blood calls aloud for vengeance"
