| Curious History.

S.ephe Holt was the founder ot the present cap eating-house system, says a New rk correspondent. He was a sutler during the war of 1872, and after wards came to this city and opened six penny restaurant. The place became popular and soon afterwards was adopted by others. Holt, at the age of fifty-five, was worth $100,00O This degree of sue cess was enough to awaken an intense ambition, and he determined to build the grandest hotel in America. To accom- plish this he plunged deeply into debt but he carried out the plan to its fullest extent. Holt's Hotel was paragraphed throughout the country as one of the wonders of the age, but before it had been in operation Q year it's proprietor failed and was sold out. The unfortunate man lost everything. His name was soon removed from the grand hotel. and he sank into obscurity. A few years afterwards he opened 9 small refectory on his former plan, but his day was passed and the effort failed. I occasion ally saw hin--a broken down old man and death soon removed him from th' scene of disappointment. Such is one Q
 the features in the history of the east sid' 1 of town.

Running Down a Mountain Wolf.

MT. s. L. Kirtiey, tie pr6prietor of the hotel at Brownington, Mo, started out to summon witnesses who lived on Hillegras prairie, in the southeastern part of Henry county, and while riding leisurely along he espied large black wolf in wheat-feld close by. Spur ring his horse to its utmost speed, he at once gave chase, and for iifiles over the prairies and through fields, with here and there small skirt of timber, on they sped, the wolf in the lead, but the brave rider and dauntless little horse always in sight and often close upon the wolf's heels. It was feck- less ride over fences and through farms, with never pause for breath. As they passed farmhouses the rider shouted for help, and others joined in the chase until the n1mber of pursuers was a dozen or more. Still the little horse kept the lead, while one after another of the fresh steeds fell to the rear. After run of twenty or twenty-five miles, aud when within quarter of a mile of Lowry City, small village in St. Clair county, the race ended, and the little horse ran directly over the wolf, knocking it down. Kirtley was unarmed, and, springing from his sad dle, grasped the vicious brute by the mouth, pinioning its jaws as with a death grip. Men came to his aid, and strong cord was bound around the wolf's mouth, rendering it harmless The cords were unintentionally drawn so tight that the animal died of stran- gulation and exhaustion shortly after being captured. It proved to be full grown black mountain wolf, fully three feet high, and weighing probably LOG | nounds

sober second Thought.

EDITOR LEDGER Il think that the
great sensation about the appearance
of yellow fever here is like great deal
of smoke with little or no fire. Now
that the fear has in measure passed,
and we see that the mole-hill was mag
nified into q mountain, we can also see
the serious effect it has on the trade
and general prosperity of our city.
The fact is, our city was never more
clean than at the present time, and
the atmosphere never more pure, and
the prosperity in business never more
promising yet, by the hasty and in
oonsideFate opinion and advice OF
medical men thousands of people
(many who could lily afford to do sol
have rushed away from their homes
and business to their own detriment,
and to the injury of the city, and the
news has been spread abroad that we
had an epidemic here, when the city
was never more healthy.
| hope that the bad impression will
soon be erased, and moro deliberation
and moderation will hereafter prevail.
