across the darkness overhead. Glanc-
ing quickly upward, both men, deep
in the shadow, saw that the eastern
window on the southern side was
lighted up. Out in the allcyway low
yet clear, a whistle sounded-twice.
Then came cautious footsteps down
the back stairs. The bolt of the rear
door was carefully drawn. A wom-
ans form, tall and shrouded in a long
cloak, came swiftly forth and sped
down the garden walk to the rear gate.
Come on, quick!" murmured the en-
gineer, and on tiptoe, wondering, the
two men followed. They saw her halt
at the barred gate. Low, yet distinct
she spoke a single name: "George,"

"Oh, stop that damned nonsense! OF

was unbarred. A mans form. slender
and shadowy, squeezed in and seemed

rooms in order to secure the constitu-
tional number of votes required.
The house had nothing exciting on
hand and most of the time was spent
in committee of the whole. There
were a few tits between members, as
usual, but a large number of bills were
passed from committee of the whole to
the calendar for final passage. A leng-
thy insurance code bill was offered by
the committee on insurance as a sub
stitute for. the bill which was intro
duced early in the session.
The attorney general has given an
opinion that the new board of control
law does not apply to the state univer-
sity and Normal schools. An amend
ment was put in the bill making it di-
rectly apply to those institutions but
it was then forgotten to amend the til
tie and as the constitution requires the
title of every bill to correctly represent
what the bill itself contains, the attor-
ney general makes this decision.
ST. Paul, April 6-The senate passed
a good many bills yesterday. One of
them allows district judges ther ex-
penses when away from home attend
ing court. Another requires railroad
companies to keep agents at all sta
tions where the business amounts to
$4,000 or more per year. Other bills
which passed were requiring suits
against commission merchants to, be
begun within a year after cause occurs;
requiring corporations filing amend
ment increasing capital stock to pay a
fee on the capitalization. The rest of
the day was devoted to debating bills
in committee of the whole.
While it was supposed that the pri-
mary election law was completed on
Thursday by the conference committee,
in order to guard against any question
being raised as to it's legality, both
houses passed it over again yesterday,
and it now goes to the governor.
Each house is trying to indulge in a
little sharp practice on the other, and
SO whatever is done in the house, for
instance, pertains to house bills, as the
house resolutely refuses to put any
more senate bills through until the SEN
ate passes some of the bills which have
been sent to it from the house. The
senate is pursuing a similar policy, so
that it will not be surprising: if good
many bills, concerning which there is
no contest, should pass one body and
fail to pass the other
The house put in the larger portion
of the day in committee of the whole,
devoting itself entirely to house bills.
The million-dollar capitol bill has been
on the general order list for. five days,
but as it is a senate bill it has been put
over every time it was reached

DUE TO A DREAM.
To What q Prominent Railroad Man.
aEer Attributes His Rise
in Business.

"One Of the most successful railroad
men in the United States" said we'll
known local official. in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. "claims that he owes
his start in life to a dream. Several
different versions Of the story have
been current, but some years ago I
heard the facts from his own lips. He
entered the service originally as
wiper in a roundhouse, then got fire.
mans billet and eventually became an
engineer, where he bid fair TO stick in
definitely. AS I rem ember his narra-
tive, he had been holding down the job
for two or three years, when he was
greatly disturbed one night by hide
Gus dream. He thought he was OH his
engine, going at full speed over sec
tlon of the road that was strange and,
at the same time, familiar, after the
fashion of things seen in Nightmares,
when suddenly rounding a curve he
caught sight of a man lying, face down,
across one Of the rails. The man had
his head on his arms and was in the
exact position of one who had fallen
asleep, overcome by fatigue. The en-
gineer was transfxed with horror,
and, before he could seize the reverse
lever he felt the sickening scrunch
of wheels passing over human body
The sound was still in his ears when he
awoke. Naturally enough the vision
preyed on his mind, and when it began
to repeat itself at intervals of two or
three nights, he soon became thor
oughly unnerved. The dream was al
ways precisely the same, and after sew
eral weeks of mental torture he walked
into the superintendent's Office and
threw up his job. To have assigned the
real cause might have laid him open
to suspicion of insanity, SO he merely
promised no promotion and let it go at
that. The higher officials had already
observed his superior intelligence, and
the reason he gave for his resigna tion
rather raised him in their opinion; so
a few months later, when they needed
a yardmaster at an important point,
they set regulations aside and gave
him the place. From that he climbed
to train dispatcher. then assistant
agent, and so on up, until he is now
general manager of one of the best
lines in the north, at a salary of $18,-
600 year. If he had stayed at the
throttle he might have risen in time,
but the chances are that he would have
missed the foodtide of fortune. A sim
gular feature of the story is that his
old engine really dio kill a man about
three weeks after he left it. The poor.
fellow was lying on he track in good
deal the way the figure appearedi in the
| dream, and it was never known wheth-
er he had been sandbagged or had
dropped there from exhaustion In
looking up his. history it was found
that he was an old tramp who had once
been a man of means, and years before
was a stockholder in that very road
OF course that circumstance has no
particular bearing on the other facts.
but it adds to the general strangeness
of the case. In relating the story in my
| presence, the general manager re-
marked that it was a long time before
he yentured to tell anybody the true
reason why he had quit his engine.
Dreamers are not especially popular
| in practical business like railroad

Probably Murdered.

A man, whose name is believed to be
A. Nelson, was found dead on the rear
steps of the Mankato house, Minneapo-
lis, and there is every reason to believe
that he was murdered
The man had been slugged in the al
ley, directly in front of the door. The
body was dragged distance of fifteen
feet and placed on the steps with the
motive in view of covering up the deed
for time. The man had been dead
over an hour when found After the
body had been taken to the morgue a
piece of paper was found in a pocket,
upon which was written the name "a

The motive of the murder could not
have been robbery, for IS. IS was found

Not in Favor.

The action of the Minneapolis park
board, in attaching string to its deed
of the land at Minnehahai to the Unit
ed States for the construction of dam
and lock, does not meet the approval
of the government engineers.
The resolution of the board has been
returned to them, and is accompanied
by the recommendation Of Maj. Lock
wood to the government, the gist of
which is that they want ''the whole

land must be clear, or the government
