STRANGE VISION COMES TO MRS.
RANCIPHER THREE TIMES.
Washington Woman Then Consults
Lawyer and After Two Years’
Litigation Gets Mother's
Insurance Money.
Tacoma. Wash.—Dreams have been
worth $1,000 to Mrs. Clara Ranclpher,
living at 445 St. Helene avenue, to
whom the supreme court, at Olympia
awarded a judgment for that amount
on a certificate of insurance issued
by the Women of Woodcraft. From a
psychological standpoint the case is
one of the most curious that has ever
come tip in the county.
In January, 1904, Mrs. Minnie Sulli
van, of Seattle, the mother of Mrs.
Ranclpher, died. A short time before
her death she had increased her insur
ance and changed beneficiaries, leaving
$1,000 to Mrs. Ranclpher. After her
death Mrs. Ranclpher, not knowing
tihe was a beneficiary, paid but little
attention to the insurance. But later,
being in Seattle and knowing that her
mother affiliated with the Woodcraft,
pne visited the secretary and asked
if there was any insurance. She was
assured that there was none for her.
Two years passed and she had forgot
ten all about it Then shn dreamed
that her mother had left her $1,000 in
suranee in the Women of Woodcraft.
The dream was so strongly impressed
on her mind that she made another
Inquiry of the Woodcraft, only to be
told there was no insurance In her
name.
A short time later the same dream
came again. And a week after the
second dream she dreamed it a third
time. This decided her and she placed
the matter in the hands of an attorney.
He heard her story with doubt, but be
gan an investigation and was sur
prised to find that she was the bene
ficiary to the amount she had dreamed.
There were technicalities in the way
of the payment, the application for the
change of beneficiaries and the in
crease of the insurance having been
made but ten days before the death of
Mrs. Sullivan. However, the by-laws
of the Woodcraft hold that an appli
cation for a raise of insurance was as
good as the delivered policy. Never
theless, the Woodcraft refused to pay
and a lawsuit lasting two years com
menced. Judgments were given in the
lower courts but were successively set
aside until the supreme court put a
quietus upon the litigation by its de
cision.
A peculiar feature of the litigation
was that in May of last year Mrs. Ran
c.ipher dreamed that the superior court
here would give her a judgment for
$1.00n. The case was then in court
with but little prospect of settlement.
Two months later the superior court
gave her the decision just as she had
dreamed it.
“And to cap the climax,” said Mr.
Raneipher, the husband of Mrs. Rail
cipher, "I was coming in from Steila
the aisle was reading a morning pa
per. Something prompted me to ask
him for the paper and I told a friend
near me that I must have it. It was

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
tin' appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. Tho
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of t lie charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic, drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain isrobbing tho cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

VIKING FUNERAL SHIP.
Discovery of Strange Craft Said to
Be 1,100 Years Old.
Paris.—An interesting communica
tion has been made to the Academic
des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres of
Paris by Mr. Gabriel Gustafson, the
curator of the Christiania museum,
concerning the recent discovery in
Norway of a Viking funeral ship at
least 1,100 years old.
Its mortuary chamber contained the
bones of two women, who, judging
from the size of the craft and the
elaborateness of its appointments, evi
dently belonged to a noble and wealthy
family. The vessel, which is 70 feet
long and 16 feet 6 inches broad, was
dug out of a tumulus 214 miles from
the shore.
A large and extremely valuable col
lection of historic remains was found
in‘the ship, including a four-wheeled
chariot, richly and quaintly decorated;
four sledges, three of them curiously
carved; several beds, lintels, a mill,
spinning-wheels and a variety of kitch
en utensils.
One theory is that the second wom
an was a slave condemned to accom
pany her mistress in her last sleep.
The ship and its strange cargo, which
constitute one of the most important
archaeological finds ever made in
Scandinavia, after being carefully re
stored, will be placed In the Christiania

STEALS TO HUNT TREASURE.
Youthful Dime Novel Reader Caught
Before He Locates Wealth.
Philadelphia.—A prolonged literary
diet of dime novels has caused all of
little Bernard Katz’ thoughts to be
colored with pirates and buried treas
ure, and it was no wonder, after a
careful perusal of "Captain Kidd's Re
venge, or the Secret of the Buried
Box,” that Bernard should have de
cided to institute a treasure hunt of
his own.
Young Mr. Katz started an expe
dition against the pirates, and to prop
erly finance such a trip he took $25
from his father’s cash box. The fa
ther discovered the loss of his money
and the disappearance of his son al
i most simultaneously and started in
i search of both. Bernard was found
before he could slop on a vessel bound
; for the Spanish main, but the money
I was missing and he told his parents
that he had hidden it under a tree in
| Franklin square. The exact location
of the tree he could not tell.
Accordingly, the Katz family began
CAtarauuua ill equal r,
more than an hour they dug, while
Bernard stood by and pointed out like
ly trees to lie undermined. The police
were attracted by the commotion and
took Bernard to the station house be
fore all the trees were removed. The
roll of money was found on him and
he was held in $300 bail for the juve
nile court by Magistrate Gorman.
FIND BONES SOUGHT 172 YEARS.
Skeletons of Indian Victims Discovered
on Island in Canada Lake.
Winnipeg, Man.—The skeletons of
Jean Baptiste de La Verandyre and
Father Aulneau, a .Jesuit missionary,
and the skulls of 19 French-Canadian
voyagers, all killed by Sioux Indians
in 1736, have been found.
The discovery was made on an is
land in the northwest angle of Lake
of the Woods by a party of priests of
St* Boniface college of Winnipeg, ac
companied by Judge Prudhomme. The
party also found the site of Fort St.
C
Sieur De La Verandyre.
Jean Baptiste de La Verandyre was
20 years old at the time of the massa
ere. He was the son of La Varandyre
the explorer. The memory of the vie
tints has been solemnly preserved by
the Roman Catholic church, and many
attempts have been made to identify
the scene of the massacre and recover
the bones of the victims.
St. Boniface college is located on the
Red river, opposite Winnipeg. John
Greenleaf Whittier immortalized the
place in a poem in which he referred
to the bells of St. Boniface at the
“Holv Roman mission.”
Find Rare Spanish Coins.
Roscommon.—Ten silver Spanish
coins bearing dates in the sixteenth
century have been unearthed by tour
ists at a ruined castle in County Ros
common. A popular tradition in the
locality is that the castle was a hiding
place for mouths of many Spanish
fugitives after the destruction of the
Armada.
Printer "Champ” Potato Eater.
Waterbury, Conn.—George Benja

UNITED PARTY BEHIND BRYAN.
Presidential Candidate Is Assured of
Hearty Support.
For the first time in 12 years the
Democratic party is united in hearty
support of its presidential candidate.
All on B. Parker, who ran for presi
dent four years ago, is making
speeches on the Pacific coast in favor
I Of Mr. Bryan. He made one last week
{ in Los Angeles, and now it is an
nounced that he will address the peo
i pie of San Francisco.
Four years ago Mr. Parker had only
j Bryan's nominal support, and Bryan
I men did not even make a pretense of
supporting him. The result was that
| he carried only the southern states
| and was overwhelmingly defeated. If
| this year he had refused to take part
I in Mr. Bryan’s campaign he could not
! have been blamed.
But Mr. Parker, and with him prob
! ably that wing of the party which
i heretofore has opposed Bryan, now
| forgets the past and takes off his coat
| for the party candidate. He will do
i all in his power to elect Bryan, which
is more than several candidates
against Mr. Taft at the Chicago con
vention are doing for the Republican
| nominee.—Chicago Journal (1ml.)
The Harvester Trust.
That bucking a trust is uphill busi
ness may be judged from the report in
the New York Journal of Commerce
that:
“The hemp-growers’ combine, formed
several months ago to fight the har
vester trust, has proven a failure, and
the latter is now buying hemp at its
own prices.”
What is known as the “hemp-grow
ers’ combine” does not deal in real
hemp or flax, but in such grasses and
fibers as are used in the manufacture
of binding twine.
Paragraph 566 of the tariff law
places all such grasses and fiber., on
the free list, which shows now other
trusts and combines would fare if not
protected by the tariff. Competition
has broken the power of the “hemp
growers’ combine,” but its competitor,
the harvester trust, which is protected
by the tariff on the agricultural ma
chinery it manufactures, is flourishing
like a green bay tree. If the harvester
trust was not protected by the tariff
we might expect to see the price of
agricultural machinery much less than
it now is.
It will be interesting ot see if the
harvester trust, having forced the
"hemp-growers’ combine” to reduce
the price of the raw material, will sell
twine any cheaper to the wheat grow
ers.

but reformation. He says he attacks
the wrongs of business and not busi
ness itself. He believes that the bad
can be destroyed without injury to the
good. He has faith in himself and in
| the Democratic party as instrumentali
ties by means of which these ends
may be reached. Where a Roosevelt
. failed he sees no hope of success for a
Taft. On this point of party fitness
and personal fitness, therefore, he
| makes the issue, promising a detailed
i discussion later on of the tariff, the
1 trusts, the railroads, the banks, labor,
imperialism, waterways and other
questions of importance.
Recognizing the political skill dis
played by Mr Rryau m this deliver
ance, the World niugt express regret
that he did not make his speech a
synopsis of rather than a preface to
his views on the questions which are
certain to engage public attention
during the campaign. There is in this
opening utterance a distinct promise
of growth in wisdom and in Democ
racy. It will be well for him, for his
party and perhaps for his country if
the more pretentious deliverances
soon to come shall be in keeping with
it in these respects.—X. Y. World.
Democrats for Good Roads.
The Democratic party at Denver
took the most advanced step yet tak
en upon the question of good roads,
by adopting a strong plank favoring
federal and state aid to the farmers,
to assist in building permanent high
ways.
Uncle Sam uses 40 per cent, of ail
the highways for rural mail delivery,
and as good roads, according to the
postal authorities, will cheapen the
posit nf thn e#»rvipp °0 nor nont thorp
is good reason why national aid
should be extended. Rural mail deliv
ery now costs $35,000,000 per year,
and this means a saving of $7,000,000
per year and it will soon be $10,000,
000. If the government were to issue
$400,000,000 of two per cent bonds to
assist building the roads, the saving
on rural delivery would pay the inter
est on the bonds. The $400,000,()t;0
would give about $450 for every mile
I of road used for rural delivery.
The farmer alone cannot build the
roads. They can be built by state aid,
and if federal aid were extended also
; it would be easy.
