DREAM AS TO DOOR
WITH ODD COINCIDENCE
Queer Light on the Downfall of Dr..
Sheppard Of Illinois and of Icon,
oclastic Maid.

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. s. That the su.
pernatural contributed to the downfall
Of the Rev DR.. Robert D. Shepard.
former business manager and treasurer
of Northwestern university. and former
treasurer Of Carrot biblical institute, was
told yesterday. About Is years ago.
when Dr.. Sheppard built his magniii
cent home he had dream in which he
was warned that disaster would befalI
him if he opened the front door OF the
house until he should usher ont there
from bis eldest daughter IN marriage
The dream took such firm hold mon
the family that large side door was
built and this was used exclusively. the
front door remaining closed always.
Guests aud neighbors whispered and
seolTers ridiculed the superstitution. but
Tho door remained closed until recently.
On the sunday night preceding the
Monday on which the story Of the doc.
tors alleged shortage appeared. a new
maid. Minnie. met sweetheart. A
long talk and a short walk Was ended
on sae front steps Of the beautiful home
on the lake front. And then the curl.
ons one suggested that Minnie show
him the inside Of the house. The airl
leaving her sweetheart on tie front
steps, ran around to the side door and
coming through the house, opened the
front door TO let him in knowing moth
ing Of the mysterious belief Of her en-
ployer.
When Or. Sheppard received his daily
newspapers the next morning. he found
several columns devoted to the disclos-
ures in regard . his alleged shortage
he sank under the blow His friends
deserted him. Then the officials of The
institute closed the case up ana nothing
moro was said. The maid confessed
and was pardoned. The front door Is
shut II will never again be opened
until the order Of the dream Is fulfilled.

She UNDERWENT UNTOLD HARDsH|Ps
AFTER YEARS OF HARD WORK
DAME FORTUNE SMILES ON
BRAVE WOMAN.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 2O.-A
little woman with quiet voice, a firm
chin and a pair of piercing blue eyes,
and a shopful of Alaska curios at the
corner of Fourth street and Central
avenue is attracting more attention
than anything else in that neighbor-
hood at present.
Few who see the woman know her
history, and it is one that cannot be
duplicated by any woman In America,
She is Mrs. Marie Riedselle, the first
white woman to brave the hardships Of
the Klondyke in the search for gold,
For seven years she fought the fight
against the elements that many strong
men have been unable to stand before,
and now she has a neat little fortune
and a paying claim that is the envy
of many of her brother miners.
Eight years ago Mrs. Riedselle made
osteopathic physician, living in New
York, when she first decided to try her
luck at mining. From there she went
to Seattle and purchased a miners
outfit. Eskimo dogs and a few other
lived at Dawson City, nursing, doctor
ing and studying but without getting
nearer to the gold mine.
Hardships Terrible.
Il determined that 1 must get to
Nome at all COSTS" she said in re-
counting her experiences last nIgnt. Il
got to Nome, and lnere my cnance,
came. I am an osteopath, and 1 heard
of young fellow who was supposed
to be dying of pneumonia His part
ner had done all he could for him, but
had failed to relieve his suffering.
arrived just in time, and together we
nursed him back to health. Out Of
gratitude they took me into partner
ship in a claim they had just staked
out in Eldorado, sixty miles from
Nome
'The hardships of that winter were
terrible. Many times we had nothing
to eat for days at time. One partner
was sick, and the other far away from
us most of the time. We had years Of
hard work, but we found a rich claim,
and l am back in civilization for
time. My visit here is to be brief, as

Starving to Death.

Because her stomach was 80 weak
ened by useless drugging that she
COULD mot eat, Mrs Mary H. Walters,
Of ST.. Clair ST., Columbus, o., was
literally starving to death. she
writes: "My stomach was 50 weak
from useless drugs that 1 could not
eat and my nerves SO wrecked that
could not sleep; and not before 1 was
given up to die was induced TO try
Electric Bitters; with the wonderful
result that Improvement began at
once, and complete cure followed.

one has to fight always for that which

one has to fight always for that which
he would keep in Alaska, and some of
my property is now in litigation"
The dogs are splendid animals and
Mrs. Riedselle's constant companions.
For weeks at a time she has depended
solely upon them for friendship. In
the collection is a suit which she treas
ures as the finest ever seen In Alaska.
1t consists Of a long coat or ''Parka'
made of reindeer skin, with hood and
cuffs of longer fur and border of tiny
SQUARES of light and dark fufs, forming
an Indian pattern, ana & pair of deer
skin trousers and matelocks made in
Siberia frSm finest skin.

Plan of Company.
1t seems that the plan of this COM
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Develop
ment Co., of Montana which this
concern has established with consid-
cradle work done at this time, placing
10000 shares of treasury stock of the
Montana company on sale here and
the amount derived from such sales
to be expended for the development Of
the Walla Walla enterprises, the
present and future owners of the
Montana stock to participate in the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those who
take stock in the Walla Walla or
home company to participate in the
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very fair
way to place this stock before the
people of this vicinity as a lucky
strike Of either oil or gas in either
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
With no desire to dictate to the
people Of WaIla waIla as to what
they should or should not do, 1t &C.
ours to this committee that inasmuch
as it is more than likely that we are
located above millions Of gallons Of
oil that it is good business to aid in
every way to push this thing along.
