COurtland Beach, with It's Myriad At
fractions, Opens to Public.
After three or four abortive attempts to
formally open CORTLAND Beach, each time
the attempt being set back by the rain,
this favorite summer haunt of Omaha peo-
pie will be given its premier today. The
street car company expects an extremely
large attendance and will put on a large
number of cars. The weathe man pre-
diets not only clear weather, but much
warmer for today. Despite the excessive
rains the grounds are in excellent con-
dition and thoroughly dry, as the sandy
nature of the soil does not permit water to
stand.
There is much to enjoy at the beach
this season. The old amusement devices
have been placed in good condition and
many new ones have been added. One can
hardly turn about without humping INTO
some amusement device. Amusements for
the little ones have been put In and the
Juvenile part Of the visitors can take their
choice of the amusements provided for
them. The customary m-erry-go-round,
bowling alleys and shooting gallerys will
greet old friends, Mr.. Grifhths. who man
ages the resort again this season, has ar
ranged the pavilion as a dining room and
refreshments will be served there, as we'll
as in the cafe. The boat department Is in
excellent trim and the bathing facilities
are better arranged than ever. Three hun
dred new bathing suits have been pur-
chased. The lawns are beautifully grassed
over and picnic parties will doubtless enjoy
this result OF the gardeners care.
Prof. Nordine has been re-engaged and
his orchestra, consisting OF sixteen pieces,
is said TO be far superior TO that of last
season. Sam Murphy, the most daring Of
a~eronauts, gives balloon races, four para
chutes being attached 10 one immense
balloon.
The Friese Bros. and lady are sensational
barrel jumpers and acrobats. They will be

returned to college.
Wont the fellows stare when they see
that" 1 thought. II wonder where my
ancient uncle ever picked 1t up, or where
he could find money enough to pay for It.
I'll inspect it further by the light Of day"
And rather elated than otherwise l picked
up my lamp and vent TO bed.
But In the morning l was doomed to dis
appointment. For by the light of day both
door and mirror had disappeared. I could
scarcely believe what my eyes told me.
Was 1 dreaming, OF had my brain played
me a clever trick last night and hoaxed
me into the belief that l should have an
article OF rare virtu to carry away in the
morning.
Hang it, l said aloud. 81 believe the
place is haunted. l will get through here
In short order today. and go back to town
tonight"
l spent the morning riding over my es-
tate, laying out the boundaries (for l knew
something Of surveying) and satisfying
myself as to how many acres 1t contained.
In the afternoon a rain set in, a mere driz-
zle at FIRST, but it gradually grew heavier
until I was driven to the house for shelter.
AS evening drew on / gave up all hopes
Of returning to own and prepared to re-
main for one more night. l confess an
eerie feeling crept over me at the thought
OF spending another night under that roof,
but laughed at myself and said in fine
derision. "Pshaw, you, a Harvard grad
uate, afraid Of a mirror and a vanishing
door. Get 1t, get 1t, man, and don't let a
chance like that escape you twice"
With this determination in mind I again
seated myself in the living room, lit a cigar
and waited for the temperance OF the
mirror. or course II came, and directly be-
hind me in the same place was the door,
both looking exactly as they had the night
before.
'-rhis means something" l decided, "and
I am going to find out what It is"
stepped up TO the mirror and attempted
to lift it from its place. AS we'll might
have tried TO move the corner Of the house.
Then / looked for Its cord or fastening,
but there was none. 1t seemed a part OF
the very wall.
Considerably abashed by its resistance
to my efforts. / went to the door and turned
the knob. expecting to be met by a like re-
pulse. But the door opened with merely a
rusty creak as IL turned on its hinges. All
was darkness beyond. / picked up the lamp
from the table and stepped over the
threshold. l was in e narrow passageway
which extended for nve or six feet. At the
cad there appeared a flight of steps formed
simply of earth and running down into the
ground, l had no idea as to their probable
length and prudence suggested that / &c
no further. But the very mystery of the
thing stimulated my lively fancy and some.
thing else urged me on.
II am going to see this thing TO the end
whatever the cost; so here goes" And
started 10 descend the stairs. They came
to an end rather sooner than ! expected
and l found myself in another passageway
which ran straight ahead for some dis
lance, and at the farthest end Of which
could detect a light. Ny own hiekered anC

some Cyclone stories.

Astonishing stories about the recent cy-
clones are in the Kansas press. The salina
Republican notes the case of Miss OLSON
daughter of a Saline county farmer. The
Olson house was taken up and twisted into
splinters. a son was killed and several,
more were desperately injured, Including
Mr.. Olson. Miss Olson was I'm bed, con-
valescing from typhoid fever. After the
storm had abated she was found a long
distance from the site OF the house, calmly
reposing on the mattress OF her bed and
without the slightest injury to her person.
Thai the girl and the mattress could have
been lifted through that whirling mass OF
broken timbers, carried along on the wings
of the storm and dropped without suffering
even a jar or a scratch is marvellous.
