NICHOLAS WYKERT-The venerable Nicholas Wv
kert died at his resdence about two miles west of
Troy, Sunday afternoon, October 18th, aged just
81 years. He was horn Sunday, and died on Sun
day. He was of German parentage, and was born
in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Sunday October
10Th, 1895. At the age of fifteen, he removed to
Washington County, Pennsylvania; and in 1915 or
1916, he took up piece of land in Marshal County,
Virginia, (now West virginia,) below Wheeling,
where he lived until the Fall of 1885, when he came
to Doniphan County, Kansas, and brought his fami-
ly here in the Spring of 1856. He married four
times, and had children by each wife. He had been
preacher for forty years, in the Christian Connec
ton, (sometimes called Newlights,) and had read
the Bible through one hundred times. He was at
one time worth Considerable property, having made
it all by hard work, never dollar by speculation.
He remained comparatively strong and active until
within tho past two or three years. when he began
to fail. Still he would frequently walk to town,
to visit his children several miles away. On some of
these journeys he would give out and fall down. and
could not get up until some came along and as
sisted him. when he would 90 ahead again. He al
ways carried an old black carpet-sack, apparently
empty, but it is said that he had his money in it,
amounting to about 81 900 dollars, and always kept
it by him. 1t seems wonder that he did not, on
some of these occasions, fall down and perish, or
that some scoundrel did not come along, and, find
ing him helpless make off with his treasure. For
short time before his death, he closely watched,
lest he should wander off his pedestrian trips lie
probably died Of extreme old age, and wearing out
ofthe machinery.

john Morebead, died at Mr.. Moreheads residence,

crossed the Allegheny Mountains, and settled in
Butler County. Ohio. From there he moved to
Grant County, Indiana, where he lived forty-three
years; had worked at the blacksmith trade
years. He made visit to Kansas nineteen years
ago, and had to spend the balance of his days

A wonderful old man is Paul Bre-
mond, now almost an octoeenarian.
He is the father of Texas railways,
since he inaugurated the Central and
International and built them both. He
is now spending his last days in con-
structing narrow gauge line from
Houston to Shreveport, the ground
upon which was broke on the 4th. of
July, 1876, and the fifty sixth mile of
which has just been reached. An ad-
ditional twenty miles have just been
placed under contract to be finished
in time for the fall trade. This will
carry it to the town of Moscow, Polk
county, from which it will 60 forward
to its final destination.

exactly tell which just now--for we
loaned our concordance to Tom Crooks,
of the Sherman Courier to hunt up
authorities to prove that the use Of
the balm" was good for his stonlach's
sake and his often nfrmities-said
that of the making of books there
was no end" Now, it is clear to our
mind, that these must have been law
books, for it IS evident there is 10 end
to the making of laws. The session of
Congress before the last only laid over
five thousand bills that could not be
reached, and how many now sleep
their last sleep at Austin, no man
knows.
Thomas Jefferson, the author Of our
constitution, said in his day that tho
world was governed too much" What
would he say now, could he revisit
this mundane sphere and behold the
mountain of laws that are yearly piled
up? OF a truth, we are governed too
much.-[ Mckinney Enquirer,

A Vision Of Spring Time.

We wandered o'er the grassy hills, whom day was
in its glory,
And listened, with enraptured souls, to Springs
enchanting story.
Clouds had obscured the azure skies, but all were
now departed,
merry-hear,ed.
The flowers and leaves, kissed by the breeze, at
last forgot to quiver,
And sunsets radiant glory fell across the CLASSY
river.
We watched the day.god going down, quite sure.
ly, though 50 slowly,
And o'er each heart a calmnesh stole-a feeling
almost holy;
Yet nothing Of the kind that fills the soul with
deep detection,
He went to rest mid seas Of gold-his radiant re.
Election.
The glory lingered with US long, though twilight
shades came stealing,
And one by one the stars looked down, approach.
ing night revealing.
But well we knew another land was reveling in
morning,
And those bright beams we had admired,
were other hills adorning.
So with our lives. OF clouds and tears, we each
have had our measure.
But may life's sun at eventide light up our world
to pleaure.
And may our deeds on earth be such-so earnest
each endeavor,
That some reflection Of our lives will linger here
forever.
And loved ones feeli when we have passed away
from mortal vision,
Amid tho gloom made by our loss, we brighten
lands elysan.

The death OF Professor Daniel Vau-
ghn at the age of 80 years which occur
red at Cincinnati an Sunday last, re-
moves from the Mississippi Valley its
most distinguished scientific scholar
and writer. Perhaps Of all the thou
sands of people who make their home
in Cincinnati Prof Daniel Vaughan
was the only one whose name will live
and grow brighter in future centuries.
Strangest of all he was without fame
and almost unknown in the city of his
adoption. While the great savants of
Europe and learned societies Of Paris
and London and other great capita!s
we're familiar with his name and his
labors, Cinncinati knew him not and
allowed him to toll and die in poverty
and privation in the midst of the plenty
that she poured out with lavish boun-
ty at the feet Of the noisy and superb
cial in science and art. Daniel Vau-
CHAN was a native of ireland, but had
made Cincinnati his home for quar-
ter of a century, and had devoted his
life to the study and elucidation of
ural science, especially in chemistry,
astronomy, geology and natural his
tory. He was also a fine linguist and
had command of some SIX or seven of
the modern languages besides ancient
Greek and Latin. He became emint n It
as a contributor to the great European
scientific journals, but i: is said that
the excellent Popular Science Month
ly" of New York is the only magazine
that ever paid him adequately for his
work. We remember that Prof. Nau-
CHAN often contributed to the Beech
Tree and afterwards to tho Indus trial |
which were published in this county
a few years ago by Isaac kiuley. Prot,
Vaugl han died very poor, without even
the comforts to make life reasonably |
endurable. His sensitive end retiring |
nature was greatly to blame for this.
