RETRENCHMENT TO
Be DISCUSSED,
At Meeting of Three Committees Fri.
day Night.
COUNCIL AWAITS THE REPORTS.
Of Committee From That Body, the
Police Commission and Board of
Education, Which Will Soon BE
Formulated.

Retrenehment in municipal expendi-
lures is the slogan of the City Coun-
oil, and it reets with the governing
boards of the three departments
Council, the Police Commission and
Board of Education, as to how this
can best be brought about during
another year.
And to this end the three bodies
will advise together.
At meeting of Council, the Police
Board aud the Board of Education sew
eral weeks ago the question of cutting
expenses another year was discussed
at some length.
To facilitate matters, 1t was deter
mined that com nittse from each
body frame a report to be submitted at
a subsequent meeting, and this plan
was adopted. Mayor Fielder, as chair
man, calls for meeting of these three
committees at the city hall tonight.
It is expected that satisfactory con
clusIon will be reached tonight and a
full report formulated.
If this is done, as expected, it will
be submitted to a general conference
of the Council, Police Commission and
Board of Education to be held at the
council chamber next Friday evening
pursuant to the call of Mayor Fielder,
which is published elsewhere.
These three bodies control all the
saIaried positions of the municipality,
and it is hoped that some agreement
can be arrived at whereby expendi-
lures can be eHrtailed.

DREAMED OF BURIED GOLD AND
FOUND 1T.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
Texarkana. Ark, Jan. GA sin
gular certification of a dream was the
experience of Mrs. Rachel Moores of
this city. In 1866, the year following
the close of the sectional war. she was
living with her husband, Major David
Moores. on a plantation about thirty
miles south Of here. They had a large
sum of money which the husband took
out one night and buried.
Ten years later he died quite sud-
denly. without ever revealing to the
wife the hiding place of the money.
and although diligent and repeated
search was made. no trace of the bur
led treasure was ever found. Mrs.
Moores, who is now more than 20
years old, has remained a widow, liv-
ing most of the time alone since her
husbands death.
A few weeks ago she had a vivid
dream one night, in which she saw
in the old plantation with certain land
marks the spot where, as her dream
indicated, the money was buried. In
a few nights the dream was repeated,
and thereafter at intervals for more
than a dozen times, each dream being
an Identical repetition of the first Mrs.
Moores is not at all supersitious. yet
this oft-repeated dream led her to
make secret investigation the past
week. when, strange as it may seem.
the long-lost treasure was found, and
that, too. at a place in the wood
marked exactly as that so often in her
dream.
The money was all in twenty-dollar
gold pieces and the total amount

HIS LETTER TO THE PRINCE.
A Discouraged Miners Curious Missive
to Wales Really Did Bring a Partner.

According to the papers, said a
man who used to live in the west. "a
Colorado miner write to Helen Gould
recently and asked her to back him
in developing prospect he owned
somewhere in the Leadville district.
1t reminds me very much Of something
that happened in Colorado during the
early days of the great silver boom.
Some time at that period an old mnier
named Nelson Burns discovered val
liable lode in the Gunnison district and
spent many months trying to find a
moneyed partner to develop the prop
erty The lode was in an inaccessible
location and a good deal of cash was
needed to put up the necessary mach
inery on the ground, but Burns knew
he had fortune in sight and 1t mad
dened him to think he couldn't find
anybody with enough faith even to in
vestigate. At least one night, in
fit of whimsical evaporation, he sat
down and wrote a letter to the Prince
of Wales. telling him the whole story.
explaining the exact situation and in
viting him to become his partner. 1t
must have been curious document,
for Burns's early education had been
somewhat neglected; but, to carry out
the joke. he bought scent stamp and
put the peistle in the maf Some time
had elapsed and he had forgotten about
the incident, when he received a visit
one day from an English gentleman
who came up from Denver especially
to see him. The Englishman explain
ed that the letter to the prince had ex-
cited great amusement as an Ameri-
can curiosity and had been passed
from hand to hand until it finally
reached a popular member of parlia-
ment. The NJ. p had shown in to the
Englishman's brother who resided in
London, and who was so greatly i'm
pressed by its evident sincerity, that
he wrote requesting an investigation
be made. Burns could hardly believe
his ears. but he lost no time in taking
his visitor out to the mountains and
showing him the prospect hole. The
Englishman was very suspicious of
some bunco game at first, but he col
lected lot of samples with his own
hands and when he had them assayed
in Denver he saw at once that the lode
was big thing. The upshot of it was
that they made a deal by which a
stock company was to be organized in
London and Burns was to receive very
nearly half interest for the property
The plans were subsequently carried
out. and while have lost sight of the
mine in recent years. know that it
was worked successfully for long
time and that Burns finally pulled
himself out with a snug fortune
Were it not for his lucky letter it is
doubtful whether the prospect would
ever have been developed, for. as it
turned out. it became necessary to erect
a small reduction works on the spot.
