What is in dream? Much sometimes
The following incident illustrating the fact
that dreams do come true sometimes oc-
CURED in this city years ago One night
Mr. III. ID. Ward, a prominent business
man, then and now, dreamed that Mr.. John
Mitchell, then president of the First Ma
tional Bank. OF this city, would come into
his store and ask him if he kept an itemized
account, daily, of his business transactions.
This dream so vivid and strong that
IT awoke Mr. Ward and he thought il over
some time before he could get to sleep
again. After going to sleep he dreamed
it again and II awoke him. Mr.. Ward told
his wife in the morning his dream and
told her further that something like the
dream would happen. and sure enough in
the afternoon of the same day John
Mitchell came I'm and asked him if ne kept
his daily transactions with the bank on
paper. Mr.. Ward replied, Hardly, 1 de-
pend upon my handbook" Mr.. Mitchell
replied that II is not always a safe thing
to depend upon ami said further. Can you
tell me how much money you drew out of
the bank on a certain date?" Mr.. Ward
thought he could and referred to his bank
book and some other data and replied.

Mitchell The bank was short $780, and
they had hunted the books over and over TO
find it. The cashier had paid Mr.. Ward

NERVES AND THE WEATHER.
The SO-CaIIed Human BarOmeters Are
Not Always Reliable.
New York Times.

New YORK Times
A writer in the Independent, after refer
ring, recently, TO weather representations
based on the flight of swallows, the con-
sumption of grass by cats, and the motion
OF smoke from chimDeys, said that these
signs are the crystalized wisdom of wealth
er prophets from time immemorial. but
added: THE best rain prophecy / know is
nerve irritability; if the boys are easily
provoked myself also) there is likely to be
a shower" This declaration curiously
enough. is treated with some seriousness by
The Medical News Here" it says, lis
a weather prophet with ideas worth con-
sidering. Some time il will come TO be
realized that many of the pains and aches
that Immediately precede and accompany
damp weather are not due TO rheumatism
nor to the rheumatic diathesis, but are just
plain everyday irritablity consequent upon
some changes in nervous conditions which
are caused by a drop in the barometer per-
haps. or perhaps the microscopic variation
in tissues which follows a change in the
atmospheric humidity. Old people become
walking barometers i'm their power to pcr-
tend storms because the lessened elasticity
of their arterial and vascular system pre-
vents or at least hampers those changes in
the peripheral circulation which would
compensate for variations in barometric
pressure. Whenever an injury has taken
place around a joint this same state of
affairs proclaims itself even in compara-
lively young subjects" The Medical News
sorrowfully admits, however, that these
signs fail in a dry time. and the human
barometer gives no warnings when warn
ings most needed. Still il insists that a.
careful study of human feelings would re-
suit in better weather predictions than
does that of other popular 'signs'--which
might easily be true without making the
predictions so founded of much real value
A medical authority should not commend an
empirical method when based on OBJ
served facts and logical deductions is at
hand and in daily use by the Weather Bu-
reau. The government prophets yet have
much to learn, but they are certainly on
the right track. Storms are seemingly
vagarious creatures, yet they never move
at random or without reasons which it is
within human power to learn and under
stand Exact weather prophecy is merely
a matter of adequate data, and the latter
doctors stndV the effects of annroacb;ns an ee irle
rain on human nerves if they will but
what the weather man wants, in this part
of the world, is weather information from
the West and South.

CAB STRUCK BY A TRAIN
w. T.. LEOPARD. THE DRIVER. WAS
INSTANTLY KILLED.
capped with Slight Injuries-At
N Grade Crossing.

W. T.. Leopard, cab driver. living at 90o
Michael street, was killed last night about
IL o'clock in an accident at the crossing or
Harding street and the Vandalia tracks In
West indianapolis. Leopard was driving
party of two men and two women from
roadhouse west Of the city, and as he
crossed the tracks at Harding street his
cab was struck by an inbound freight on
the Vandalia road running at a high rate
of speed. The cab was struck squarely by
the engine and was literally smashed TO
pieces By the merest accident the four
occupants escaped with nothing more than
scalp wounds.
Leopard was thrown from his seat on the
top of the cab, and in falling was struck by
the engine on the head and thrown about
twenty feet to the side. He was killed In
stantly by the blow. Both his horses were
ground TO pieces under the scab The two
men and two women. when struck by the
engine. were thrown 10 one side ana SUI
fered nothing more than knocks received on
part of the cab.
RETURNING FROM ROADHOUSE.
The party which Leopard was driving into
the city had been spending the evening at
a roadhouse at a place called Oklahoma,
about a mile west of West Indianapolis.
They give their names as c. II. Jordan, 121s
East Washington street; Harry Jones. 16
East McCarty street; Josephine Villa ms,
of Greencastle, and Edna Green, of this
city. The bicycle policemen. late last night.
declared that the man giving his name as
Jordan is Gustav III. Brinkmeyer, of Brink
meyer, Kuhn & Co, wholesale grocers, 20.
2S and 80 West Georgia street Brinkmeyer
lives at the Hazleton Hotel. He received
an ugly wound in the accident, his head
being struck by the door of the cab. How
ever, he was not unconscious when brought
to the Dispensary last night.
GIRLS SLIGHTLY HURT.
The girls were only hurt slightly in the
collision. Josephine Williams was bruised
about the hips and head, but not danger
ously. The other girl escaped without in
jury except a bad shake-up and scare. The
williams girl lives at Greencastle, but she
originally came from Bloomington where.
it is said her father is a minister Nothing
definite is known of the other woman, and
it is believed that she is not giving her
correct name. All the party refuse to talk
nothing whatever as TO where they had
been during the evening.
The train was composed or an engine ana
n cabooSe, in charge of Engineer John
Lynch and Conductor John Grainey. and
was running at high rate of speed when
il struck the cab. 1t appears that Leopard
did not hear the train and started to cross
the tracks when he saw the engine almost
upon him. He whipped up his horses and
received the full force OF the train square
ly in the center of his cab. The whole
outfit was completely demolished and it was
a miracle that the four occupants escaped
with their lives
