APRIL FOOL JOKE
Starts Run on a Bank Which
Threatens Disaster.

Chicago. April 4.-The Chronicle today
says: AS the result of an April Fool
joke the private bank of Kaspar & Karel
experienced a run. during which up to
the close of banking hours yesterday
afternoon fully $500. 900 was withdrawn
by 400 of the 800 depositors. The presi-
dent, William Kaspar, expressed conf
dence last night that the storm had been
weathered. He expected no further with
drawals today. but declared entire read
mess to. meet any legitimate demands
that might be made.
A man whose identity has not been re-
vealed to Kaspar said in a nearby sa-
loon last Sunday. with an air of deep
mystery, that the Kaspar & KareI bank
would have a sensational April Fools
joke for its depositors The remark
gained many meanings in circulation
and the following day the run began.
The, concern is capitalized al S15000
and the last monthly statement dis

Throughout the run Mr.. Kaspar has
been in receipt of offers of assistance

meet the drain. without the normal

Rev. DR.. Funk Has Seen and
Talked With 1t.
Learned Many Things of the
Here and Hereafter.
LOOKED IN HIS FACE.
Says He Saw Clear Outlines Of
Head and Shoulders.
Another Ghost Said Inventions
Are Work of Spirits.

New York, April 4.-As a elimination
to his revelations regarding a spiritual
communication from Henry Ward
of this city. declares he looked into the
face of the dead preacher and talked
with him few nights ago. DIR. Funk
asserts that he saw the clear outline
of Mr.. Beecher's head and shoulders.
and the ghost told the man in the flesh
that he had a work to do. and that IL
would be made clear to him in time.
Strange and almost uncanny as were
Dr. Funk's statements concerning the
famous clergyman, still more weird
were his minute details of a long con-
versation with an unknown ghost. This
took place in Brooklyn at the time
when a voice from the. grave accused
him of causing unrest to the subliminal
body of Mr. Beecher and the unknown
visitor revealed many secrets of life
on the other side" as DR.. Funk put it.
The ghost, according to DR.. Funk. de-
clared that all inventions now in use irs
the world were first of all discovered by
the second part of men. No discovery
that helps to uplift the race but has
first of all been tested in the spirit land.
With discoveries perfected, the ghost
said. he and his fellows go about the
world looking for mind in the recep
tive mood for the secret to be impinged
thereon.
The progress of the ghosts IN the
higher life was revealed also, and to
DR.. Funlss ears came the cheering
words that. be the time long or short,
every sublininal body in the end begins
to grow better.

ton. Tt had appeared among some
range cattle which had been unable to
forage sufficient feed to keep them
alive while the snow was on the ground.
The foundation for the rumor IS con-
