A Detective Establishes His Faith in Dreams. “Dreams?” said an Omaha detective musingly, as he threw a long spiral coil of tobacco smoke from the clear §Havana that rested between his lips. I have al- ways had faith in dreams since a little oceurrence that happened to me when 1 first entered upon my carcer years ago. Some people believe that a dream 1s al- ways fulfilled by opposites. Don't be- lieve it, my boy, don't believe convinced that more often a dre: exact rc wtion either in partor in whole. Let me tell you a little $story Got time »s,"" said the newspaper man, ‘‘go ahead. Tell me about it.” “It happened some ten years ago,” said the detective, dexterously throwing his little finger against the ashy end of his cigar, “L was then living in Alton, IlL., or rather was visiting there, resting up af, ter a hard winter’s work. The month was May and the weather was simply perfect. I spent most of my time out of doors, hunting, fishing, and having a good time generally. Yes I was better looking then thanI am now, and I used to be quite a favorite with the girls. Perhaps [ am yot—1I don't know. But that's neither here nor there, One of the young ladies with whom I became acquainted was a_ fair being hom I shall eall Ida. Pretty? Yes. ke my word for it a more tharming creature never lived. = She w beautiful in form, face, and, as I thought in intellect cter. About her past history I wuned much, except that she was an orphan, had been born and raised in St. Louis, and was living with an aunt in Alton, an old, ugly, peevish vixen, who always reminded me of a horrible dragon, “One morning, m May—T shall never forget the date, the 15th of the month— the quiet little town was startled by the news that a terriblo tragedy had been committed. Idws aunt had been found murdered in her bed that morning. My professional instincts were aroused at once, and I hurried to the house where the murdered woman 1 Ida admitted me. I expected to find her'in spasm of agonies, or at least terri- bly wrought up over the awful occurren wfli(‘l\ had bereft her of the only rela- tive she had in the world.

The coroner came, held an in- quest, and went away. Every witness who could possibly throw any light upon the mystery was examined. The city and county osuthorities took the matter up, and offered large rewards for the de- tection and arrest of the assassin. Detec- tives were engaged to work upon the case, but were compelled to give it up ter weeks and months of hard work. Every scent wasa ‘blind’ one. Noteven a motive for the act could be satisfacto- rily established. Certainly, though the old woman was rich, she could not have been killed for her'money.

I studied long and deeply upon every phase of the myster- ious murder. I lay awake nights évoly- >s, and spent the days in it But ion- tious, and were, shrewdly conducted, one month from the time the murder was committed, 1 found myself no nearer a solution than 1 v when I began, “One night, T think it was the twen- tieth of June, I had a dream, I had re- tired to bed early, tired out with hrad work. [n my sleep I saw a vision—it must _have been a dream, of course, though it was far more realistic. The door of my room_opened, and I saw a figure in white advancing to what scemed to me to be a “bed in one corner of the room. Slowly the figure came on and in one hand I could see o long, sharp knife. The moon had been behind a cloud, but just then it burst through and shed its bright light upon every object in the room. 1 looked again at the figure,and as she turned, her long locks a-shimmer in the moonlight, T could see that it was Ida. Horrified, I watched her advance stealthily step by step towards the bed. With one bound she sprang upon her victim, and with a dexterous cross-thrust of her knife, cut the old woman’s throat from ear to A One convulsive shudder and the whole thing was 0 Assured that her work had “been thoroughly done, Ida turned away with that strange, odd smile which had so struck me the first day of the mur- der, and tiptoed out of the room. I awoke with "a shudder, but my strange dream haunted me, and Islept no more that night, “The vision rested unea mind the next day. Stra; fan, took possession’ of me, wh 1 vainly tried to shake off. The next night the vision was repeated with all its Intense realism. Ey night thereafter for a \lwck I'was visited by the same awful i ly on my pies L won't give you all the details of the closing up of the case, cut my story short, 1 managed to secure entrance un- observed into 1du's room, examined every trunk, box, receptacle in the room, look- ing I hardly knew for what. My labor was after a time vewarded. In the bot- tom of a large box used for storiug rub- bisk I found a long blood stained” knife and a nightgown, whose snowy folds were erimsoned here and there with blood. Then my suspicions were con- firmed. 1 made up my mind to go to work upon the theory that Ida had'mur dered her aunt, having already secured a* good groundwork of evidence. While 1 stood there, still gazing at the bloody knife and garment, the door opened bé- hind me. rslanced over my shoulder. There stood Ida. The smile on her face was gone, but in _her eyes there wasa maniacal light. She sprang at me with a bound, and hissing into my ears, ‘You think you have me,” tried to wrest the knife from me. She seemed possessed of ademon’s strength, and 1 can tell you that the struggle thut ensued was a tough \ tral City, Nebraska, one. I believe that if assistance had not come just then, she would have bested me. She was taken out of the room a raving maniac. “The rest of the story is soon told. Ida in her ravings the story of the crime inits every detail, and there was no longer any dount in my mind, or that of any else, but that she hid murdered the old woman. Prosecution of course was out of the question. The girl was taken to the Jacksonville, (I1l.) insane asylum. No, she 18 not nlive now. She died after three or four years confine- ment, never having recovered reason in the slightest degree. I made inquiries afterward, and found on both her father and mother’s side the taintof insanity ex- isted: that furthermore she herself had once before been in an insane asylum, but had been discharged cured.

Rabbi, do you admit Christians to your synagogue?" The questioner on this oceasion was one of a party ot ladies, and personally known to the writer as n of both culture and intelligence. Now, if this question were not one of fequent occurrence, and asked by persons who oceupy honored positions in society, and known for their literary accumen, I would hardly deem it necessary to write in your widely-read columns the follow- ing information for the benefit of your readers: The Jewish synagogue has been open to worshippers of every demomination. It is true that there were ages—called in history, dark and drearv—when the Jew could not worship according to the dictates of his conscicnee, and was compelled to resort to eaves and caverns where their wious meetings were held, even as it with the Christians prior to tho 1gn of Emperor Constantine, who were not openly permitted to exercise their re- ligious cos ions. But those days, thank God, are passed! No more is_ihe human mind shackled and hampered by “anto-de-fa,” of the bigot, or the fan- ¢ of the prejudiced heathen. sciple of e rufl:ious denom nation, especially in'this land of liberty, can openly follow out their religious con- victions. The Jewish people in this synagogue worship the Father of the Universe. In the synagogue will be_heard prayers offered not alone for the Jewish congre- i.g:\(inn, but also for all members of the human family, irrespective of creed or eyer faith. The welfare of the federal, state, and municipal authorities are nestly and devoutly implored. In our reformed synagogues I doubt whether there ever W service where the rabbi would of- fer a slur against another denomination, which would ring ha upon the most even orthodos Christian ear.

In considering the merits of the dlul‘vrcnt kinds of paving material the of public works made ascale of the various degrees of excel- lence of the stone used for that purpose.

Howard received yesterday a copy of the committee report on Senator Manderson’s bill to sell “the present site of Fort Omaha. The report among other reasons for removing the post, says that the areaof the jiruumln of the present site is too restricted for efficient military movements, especially artillery drill and target practice, the close proximity of the popu e.ty rendering flicient target practico dangerous to hu- man life and objectionable, in a military point of view on account of the effect which such a location has upon the morale, soldierly conduct and efliciency of the troops, The area of the present site of Fort Omaha annot be economically enlarged by se- curing additional grounds contiguous to the fort on account of the high price of suchlands. * * * The fact is, the fort is bemg rapidly swallowed up in the commercial of a greal city. * * « Your committee are reliably advised that the value of the land, ¢ ‘es, embraced in the present reservation and the build- ings thercon would'netin value a sum suflicient to purchase in value from 500 to 500 neres desirably located, upon a rail- Way within ten miles ot the city cf Oma- ha, and that the surplus would go far to- d the purchase of the needed material and the erection of the necessary buildings to accommodate the required mulitary force at this point,” Intelligence wasreceived at army head- uarters yesterday thatalaundry used by the soldiers at Fort Steele, was burned down last week AMUSEMENTS. “A BUNCH OF KEYS."
