help her, and one night 10 n1S surprise he woke up to find her standing by his bedside. On his asking if it was morn ing and if she had come in to wake him she replied that she was going on a long journey and had come to say goodby. She further told him that his troubles were nearly over and that a splendid future awaited him, after which she disappeared. The young man then remembered that he had locked his bedroom door, and on going to see he found it still secure. Some hours afterward he was again aroused by the lamentations of the old woman in the adjoining room. and on inquiry he found that the girl had died during the night, and it was therefore her phan- tom, or spirN that he had seen. Her prediction was fully verified.
 About three months after the death of her husband Mrs. S. had the fol lowing experience: A little daughter about four years of age slept with her mother and the two boys in little cribs close at hand. She awoke from a sound sleep and found herself looking at a hand which rested upon her little daughters breast She instantly recog nized the hand as that of her late hus- band. Her eyes followed the hand to the arm, and then she saw the whole figure. She was much terrified, and as the hand was lifted the little girl be- came restless and murmured in her sleep, Papa is away; he is in heaven" and smiled and fell into sound sleep again. Mrs. s. fell asleep. too, but was awakened by the elder boy saying, Mamma, 1 saw papa "When?' she asked Just now" he answered. "I woke up and saw papa come into the room and stand at the foot of the bed and he said to me, Be good to your mother, John.' The bedroom door was shut and locked.
 The Russian journal Rebus states: In a certain town ill the province of Minsk, west Russia, a peasant sudden ly disappeared He was last seen alive leaving the church and going home to his sister, with whom he lived
 One day in a dream his sister saw her brother He looked pale, his eyes were closed. and his legs were broken. He toll her that he had been murdered by her husband and his brothers He mentioned the exact date and place of the deed and added that his body was put into sack and thrown into the river. He wanted her to find his body and to have it buried in the family grave.
 This dream was repeated several times, and at last the sister sought the advice of her aged father-in-law. He told her that 1t would be difficult to find the body, and if the culprits were brought to justice her children would be left orphans. so after consideration the sister gave the matter up.
 But her brothers spirit would not rest and appeared in dream in the above manner to friend of his. Soon the news spread to the local authori- ties, who took the matter up. The river was searched, and the body was found in the exact spot indicated.
 The discovery had such an effect on the murderers that they at once con- fessed. They gave all details of the crime, how after service they took him to mill where they all dined and on leaving for home they attacked their victim. Finding that the sack was too small, they cut of his legs, tied stone

Thinking he wished to inquire the way, pulled up my team also. Hello MT. - he said, calling me by name. Your boy is in Akron. If you would keep him out of trouble, go to him at once.' Just then my horses, not liking to stand, drew my attention for few moments, and upon turning to ask the man where he got his information found nothing of man. wagon or horses.

He got up and called to the dog. which wagged his tail. He then recollected that the dog was dead and went forward to look at it again. Sure enough, it was Blanco, and he fed terrified. On his return home he told his experience to his friend E., who at once said that B!anco had ap- peared to him also and that he had fol lowed the dog, which had disappeared about the spot where they had buried him. The third man. C, received their account of the apparition with derision. However, some time afterward, when c was sitting playing the piano in the next room. X and E suddenly heard a yell, and C rushed in to them, saying that Blanco was in the room where he had been playing. He stated that he had felt something cold touch his hand and on looking around saw the sup posed to be dead dog.

CONTROL
OF INSURANCE
Senator Dryden has Revised his Bill
for Government Control of Insur-
ance which he claims will Correct
Evils Exposed by Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, JAM. 15 Senator
Dryden has revised his bill contemp-
lating government control of insur-
ance and will introduce in the sem
ate tomorrow. He has followed very
closely the investigation being con.
Quoted by the committee at New York
and withheld his measure until now,
when he expresses the belief that it
will correct practically iall insurance
evils exposed in the New York inquiry.
Publicity is the keynote of the bill,
and coupled with this ale safeguards
for the detection of wrong doing and
the punishment of these so offending.
1t denies policies or insurance con-
tracts as instrnm entalities of commerce
and provlsdes for the regulation of the
ptroIler of insurance snd along the
lines similar to the control exercised
over national Da0kS. Ine autnOr say 8
he believes this will go far towards
meeting the objection of those who
have questioned the constitutional
pos sibiliiies of federal regulation of
insurance.
The senator says the bill has the
endorsement of the president and
eminent lawyers in and eeutasofa
gress who are familiar wit b its general
features, as coming nearer to mee,iDg
the demands of the situation than any
of the other pending measures. Sem
ator Dryden has long been champion
of federal regulation.

Will Probably be Approved in Two
Weeks.

The Wenathcee Bridge company's

definite can be figured on. THIS will
be in a couple of weeks and then the
people of Wenatchee aid vicinity will
be eladdeIed by the assurance of
bridge road ACROSS the Co umbia. The
following is the telegram received:
Washington, Jan. l5.-rhe bill
authorizing tbs construction of
bridge across the Columbia river at
Wenatchee by the Washington Bridge
Co. was passed by the house today,
u oon motion of Representative Jones.
The same bill was pr )mptly passed by
the senate, and now awaiis the sigma
tu,e of the president to become law.
The reason of the delay has been
that in a matter of putting a bridge
across a navigable river permission
must De secured from the war dep lrt-
msnt. In the same case where the
river is navigable through more than
one state permission must be had from
the war department to petition con
gress for the placing of bridge. If
this then passes both the house and
the senate and the president affixes his
approval to it, it is then ready for he
wal department. again. This is how
the dill now stands. There is little
doubt that the war department will
approve the measure.
