HAD IKKAMS OF WEALTH
Air Castles Built in Three Nights Vanish
In One Second.
Out on Chicago avenue there lives
a citizen who had a rather unusual and
at the same time amusing experience
the othei morning. In fact, the little
incident "embarrassed" the gentleman
to such an extent that he hesitated for
several days before he even told his
wife about it, and then only after the
latter had solemnly promised to keep
the matter a profound, secret. Of
course, the "cat was thus let out of the
sack," for she thought the joke was so
funny and too good to keep, and now
his friends are enjoying a hearty laugh
at his expense. This is the story:
For many years Mr. Brown (this
isn't his real name, but that doesn't
matter) hus been of a rather supersti
tious disposition, and" whenever he
could find literature which treated
upon "superstitious signs" he would
read it in preference to anything else.
He had been especially "weak" on the
subject of dream?, and, while he had
never had any actual experiences to
verify the statement, he had often ex
pressed himself as being a firm be
liever in the sayiDg that if you dream
about hidden wealth for three succes
sive nights you will certainly gain pos
session thereof if you dig, etc. About
a week ago Mr. Brown had a dream
of wealth, and in the aforesaid dream
he 8aw a large iron casket full to the
top with bright, shiny gold pieces
and it was planted onlv a few inches
under the ground in the northeast
corner of his wood shed. He thought
nothing particularly about the inci
dent until he dreamed about the same
thing the next night. He pondered
for somo time over the matter, but
finally decided to wait until the next
morning, and if he was again favored
with the dream he would go hence to
the wood she J and dig up the promised
wealth. He decided to follow the ex
ample of tbe wise man of old, and kept
his plans to himself.
Aott . .
i '5 n mere was some mysterious
v"ur wuicn controlled the tide of
events, it came to pass that the dream
of wealth again visited him in his
slumbers of the third night, and upon
awaking next morning he rejoiced ex
ceedingly. His wife wondered why he
arose so early (4:30) he had never
done so before but he told her he
wished to cut some- stove wood. He
lost no time in getting a lantern and
proceeding to tbe shed. The first
thing to do was to remove a half cord
of wood, which be did after working
like a hero for ten minutes then he
had to saw through the floor, and
finally he came to mother earth. The
assault he made upon the only barrier
which lay between himself and the
"wealth" would pale to utter insigni
ficance tbe abilities of the most ex
perienced well digger. In the course
of another half hour he had reached a
distance of three feet below the sur
face, and be was in the act of measur
ing the depth of the opening by tbe

happened which made his he-art go
flippity-flop. The spade hud struck a
metallic substance! . Faster and faster
ho worked, and soon he had the dirt
removed around what proved to be an
old fashioned iron cooking utensil. It
was badly rust worn, and a layer of
hard clay covered the top. He lost no
time in bringing the "find" to the fur
face for examination Slowly he re
moved the clay; his hands shook as if
he had hold of a live elect. ic wire ho
had never been so nervous in al; his
life.
Then it came to piss that the air
castles which had taken three nights
to build were dashed to smithereens in
one second, for behold! instead of find
ing numberless $20 gold pieces, as h:id
been foretold in his dreams, his gaze
fell upon about two pounds of old rusty
shingle nails! For a moment Mr.
Brown was dejected and disappointed, ;
but tbe consoling thought came to him '
that no one knew about it; he would
replace the dirt, etc., and return to
to the house.
It was a sad expression which Mr.
Brown wore on his face when he went
to the. shops that morning, but his ex
perience has had one moral effect he
has destroyed a 1 the superstitious lit
erature and will hereafter read The
News instead. May his conversion
bring him blessings two-fold, and no
more empty dreams of wealth.
Loulsvllle Operator Uoes South "
From Monday's Daily.
George S Lee, who has been em
ployed as night operator for the Bur
lington at Louisville, skipped out early
this morning with a good supply of
tickets and money belonging to the
company. Nothing was known of the
theft until about 10o'c!ock this morn
ing. It appears that Lee got aboard
passenger No. 20 at Omaha, aod when
Conductor Lmtz came through the
train he produced a ticket for Kansas
City. The conductor was acquainted
with Leo, and questioned him as to
when he left Louisville, etc , and the
replies which were forthcoming were
of such a character as to arouse the
suspicions of the conductor. When
Plattsmouth was reached Mr. Lantz
made his suspicions known at the
depot, and it was decided to send a
message to the agent at L uisvilleand
find out if a licKet to Kansas City had
been sold at that place this morning.
Re replied that there bad not, and
asked that Lee be placed under arrest

local yards.

was captured at Union this afternoon.

IK. I. I. JONES IX TROUBLE.
lias a Couple of Kather Serious Charges
to Face In Police Conrt.
From Monday's Daily.
Constable J. L. Hartshorn c; me in
from South Bend Saturday afternoon
with Dr. Isaac D. Jones, whom the offi
cer had arrested on a warrant issued
by Judge Archer. The complaint had
been filed by William Browcell, a
druggist in South Bend, and charged
the doctor with having committed
adultery with his daughter, Ilattie.
The prisouer was turned over to Dep
uty Sheriff McBride and the time for
the preliminary hearing set for this
morning.
H. D. Travis appeared for the pris
oner tbis morning and County Attor
ney Root was ready to conduct the
prosecution. The hearing resulted in
the doctor being bound over in the
sum or oUU for nis appearance ror
trial in police court at 10 o'clock next
Friday morning. John McGinnisand
Frank Hill going on his bond.

ng abortion and the complainant was
Miss Minnie Kaneff. The prelim
inary hearing upon the latter charge

No Law for Keductlons.
Some people think that all they
have to do is to allow their taxes to
run as long as they want to, and the
officials will knock off the interest and
penalty, but such is not the case, for
no .body of men has any right under
the law, to make any reduction on any
taxe after they have become delin
quent, and if they do it they are liable ,
on their bonds for so doing. It has
been done, but under a recent ruling-'
of the supreme court all of it can be
ollected. There should be a stop to ,
all things of tbis kind, for it is not fair
to those who pay their taxes promptly
when they are duo and never grumble.
