Sometimes he receives word that he is
to do a certain thing, but the time is
not indicated and he waits for sup
Elemental "leading." Sometimes mes
sages come and his hand writes them
out, entirely Independent of his own
volition, he says. Many of these mes
sages are in letter form and embody
predictions as yet indefinite as to the F
time. of fulilment.. Altogether, these
communications fill some hundreds Of
manuscript pages.
1t was in the market operations, how
| ever, that Mr.. Kruse first learned to
trust implicitly in his Headings"
Many time he has seen the wheat quo
tations for day Or two ahead, but he
has never actednupon them unless ex-
plicitly advised by his mentor. In
cases where he is to go into the market
he says he is shown in black and white
the exact amount he is to make: At
one time, he says, he was told to buy
puts at certain figure on Saturday
and sell them at certain time on Mon
+, day. He followed instructions implie-
lily and his profit was exactly what his
vision had indicated. It was more than
$4,000. :. 49,. -.
Mr.. Kruse does not recite this and
other incidents in a boastful way, nor
does he use them to secure capital with
which to operate. If he says his. visions
have never led him wrong, it is simply
to prove their genuineness and to in
spire interest in the other beliefs he
holds. There is a class Of semi-super-
stitious spectators from whom such a.
market operator could command for
tunes for speculation, taking a commits
sion, but the "leadings''; have. never
been put to a commercial use in this
way. Even the gold mine is not com

that it is a mine in which there never
was and never will be a dollars worth
of stock for SALE. Were certain favored
ones let in, "for consideration, the
skeptics would be busy at once adver-

The story Of the mine has set the

in a vision. His father still resides on
the old place, Rogers, Benton county,

The vision indicated a tract on the
Kruse farm beneath which the gold de.

and l25 feet on each side. In the e0
