HIS TRAGIC DREAM.
A Grim Ghost Story That Comes
From the Netherlands.

The following remarkable ghost
story is told of two brothers, members
of a distinguished family in Friesland
a province of the Netherlands: The
young men were officers III the same
regiment, and their only fault-a Ger
tain rash valor, sc different from the
quiet prudence SO characteristic OF
their nation-made their comrades al.
most idoliZe them.
These young officers were exceed.
ingly anxious to see a ghost and took
a great deal Of pains to plunge into
all sorts of gloomy places in the hope
of finding them tenanted by beings
from the other world. At last they
seemed to find the orthodox old castle
with its haunted room. Everybody
bore witness to the horrible sights and
sounds nightly to'b seen and heard
therein, and these young gentlemen
determined to pass the night there.
1t was Christmas eve. and they pro-
vided themselves with Il good suppe
and a bottle of wine each, a fire, lights
and loaded pistols. The hours wore
on. No ghost was seen; no ghOstly
sounds were heard. The younger
brother, wrapped closely in his warm
cloak, laid his head on the table and
deliberately resigned himself to a com
Portable sleep. The elder brother.
though exceedingly weary, determined
to remain awake and await the issue
of events.
After awhile a noise reused him
en-. He raised his eyes and beheld the
wall opening in front of his seat.
Through the opening glided a tall fig
ure in white, who signed to him to
follow.
The rose and followed the figure
through long, damp, dark passages till
they reached a large, brilliantly light
ed room where a ball was going on.
Above the strains of music and the
din of voices pierced a strange. sharp.
clicking sound. like the notes of casta-
nets.
Bewildered and dazzled by this sud-
den transition from darkness and 81
le2ce to this gay festive scene, it was
some moments before he could col
lect his senses, but he was shocked by
~perceiving that these gayly dressed Ia
dies and their richly uniformed cava-
Tiers were skeletons, and the curious
sound that impressed him so strangely
was the clicking of fieshless jaws!
The figure at his side ordered him
to take a partner from this hideous
throng, which he refused to do. Irri-
tated at this refusal, the figure raised
his arm to strike, but the officer in
stantly leveled at him the pistol be
had continued to grasp and discharged
it full in his face.
With the shock and report he started
to his feet. The white figure, the ball
room, the fearful, CHASTITY dancers, all
had vanished, and he was in the room
where he had Supped, but his brother
lay dying at his side.
He had shot him in his dream and
awakened only to receive his last ut
terance. From that awful Christmas
night he vas an altered man. All
the gayety had gone out of his life,
all the sunshine had faded from his
days, and after Il few years of una
vailing anguish of mOr he found
himself unable to bear the burden
of his regrets and put an end to his
life

We endorse the democratic state

existing local option law we pledg,
our candidates, if elected, to us,
every honorable means to secure

in congress to use all legitimat.
means to secure a national law prohi
biting the federal government from
licensing the selling of liquor in pro
hibition districts.
We denounce the republican coun
ty officers for their Inefficient an,
extraVagant handling of the count,
finances, in increasing the burden O
taxation each year since they cam
ilto power, and we pledge our candi
dates to an efficient, economical an
conservative administration of coun
ty affairs.
