might succeed about the time the
Fort Hays reservation was disposed of.

works as well as waits, and the Hays
reservation comes to the people Of
Kansas as a free gift, the only condi-

OLD FORT HAYS.

The law passed by Congress this
month-March, 190O-granJing the
old Fort Hays Military reservation to
the State of Kansas for educational
purposes, is the elimination of efforts
along that line begun soon after the
abandonment of the Post by the War
Department In 1889. Numerous bills
have been introduced in Congress for
the purpose of disposing of the Res
ervation. 1t has been proposed at
different times to open the lands to
settlement under the homestead laws.
to grant it to the State of Kansas for
Soldiers Home, and finally for the
purposes provided for in the bill

THOUGH DUMB SHE SPOKE
Afflicted Woman Suddenly Finds
Herself Able to Talk.

Lancaster, Pa, July l6.-Miss
Sarah H. Lands, prior to Aug. l3,
1898, was a robdst, healthy person,
Of great personal charms. That
day she was Frustrated by nervous
and spinal troubles and never
since has she left her bed. Six
years later she became dumb sud
denly. Skilled physicians we're un-
unable to help her.
While lying in bed yesterday she
had some want and called to her
sister Hattie in the next room. The
surprised girl could scarcely credit
her senses when she heard the
voice. In spite of her long silence
her words came naturally and cas-
lily and Since then she has been
able to speak as well as ever. But
she does not talk great deal, as
the effort tires her.

BY HIS dHOST
Successful Gold Seeker Was Pilot
ed to a Find by a Spirit.

There was something uncauny il
the story that albert Davis told az
the union depot Albert Davis is q
Blue Mountain prospector bounC
for his home in The village OF Ark
wright, n. Y. Not far from bis
home is Casadagua Lake, the as
sembly grounds of the Spiritualisi
cult, and from association with
Spiritualists MIR. Davis became in
time a sort of lukewarm believer in
their teachings. He returns, he
says a true believer Mr.. Davis
told his story in the presence of sew
eral fellow-passengers at the depot.
| 1t was in substance this
Three years ago J only son
died. The father all but
heart broken; be wvaln not be com
forted by the promises of his Spiri-
tualist friends that the young man
would come back to him. But one
night the boy did come, and again
and again. After several of these
nocternal visits, the son told of ac-
quaintances that he had made in
the spirit world among them, he
said, being one whose name was
John Fremont. This spirit told of
his wonderful life in the West, and
among other tales, one of a rich
mine that he had discovered, but
which never had been found by
others. On subsequent visits the
son told more particularly of the
mine and gavedetailed descriptions
of it's situation, until Mr. Davis be-
came so deeply interested that he
resolved to go in search of it. Two
years ago he came to Colorado, and
after a long search found the range
of mountains that had been describ-
to him. They we're the Blue Noun
tains, near the Utah line But his
search was not completed. Weeks
and months were spent in prospect
ing land hunting for the marks on
the surface that would disclose the
treasure. He was. on the point of
giving up, and also of losing faith
in the spirits, when one evening he
came onto the very spot that he
was searching for. He knew it, he
said, as we'll as II he had been
there before.
Mr.. Davis lost no time in making
a mineral location, and is now re-
turning to hisoldlhome to get money,
when he will return to Colorado to
develop the mine to which the spirit
directed him. he hasno yet found
ore, but he expressed finn belief
that it was there. Denver Repub-
