DIE ID.

John l. Zimmerman was born April sth,
1S43, near Magnolia, Carroll county, Ohio.
He died ut his home in HillsbOro, ILL.,, Feb.
9Th, 1891. At the time of his death his age
was 81 years, Q months and p days.
lie was the son of Jacob and Susan f.
his parents to this State and grew to man.
hood at the family home four miles south
west Of HillsborO. He was educated at ILL.,
nOis University, Springfield. He afterwards
taught two years and then attended lectures
ut Cincinnati Law School, graduating in 1869
After another year, OF which six months
were spent at his law Office in HillsborO and
the rest in teaching, he went to Sedgwick
county. Kansas.
In 1874 he was elected County Superin-
tendent of schools. He attended to the du-
ties of his office until June, 1876. when the
malady Of which he died and to which he
had been subject for five years, 20 grew up
on him that he LEFT his Office in charge of q
deputy and sought medical assistance. He
first visited Philadelphia and other eastern
cities, and spent six months at the water
cure at Danville, n. Y. He was treated by
some Of the best physicians in the country.
A year ago, at the advice Of hopeful friends,
he put himself under the treatment Of Drs.
Ringlsnd & Dodge, at Hamilton, this State,
but with all grew no better but rather worse.
lie did not, however, wholly give up until
about the third week OF November, since
which time he rapidly failed. He was con-
6ued to his bed only the last four weeks dur
ing three weeks of which time there was no
apparent change in his condition from day
TO day. He rested quietly. apparently with
out pain. and at last passed gently away as
an infant dropping into n dreamess Sleep.
He was confirmed by Rev. Geo. 4. Bowers
during the third year Of his pastorste in the
Hillsboro church-sixteen years ago-since
which he has been consistent, devoted and
useful member of Che Lutheran church. when

Now he rests from his labors and his works
do follow him.-Hlisboro News.

A STABLE OF FINE HORSES.

Few Of Sedgwick county's lovers Of hne
stock, outside of this city, are probably aware
Of the fact that William Greifenstein is the
which for fine points and successful breed
ing are unsurpassed by any stud In the State,
but such is the fact. Some eight years ago
he procured two or three high grade mares
which have been regularly bred to the best
blood in the country. Last Saturday in COM
pany with two well-known horse fancicrs VIC
accepted an invitation for n look through
Mr.. "a stables. The visiting party was
completely surprised to see six or eight mag
nificently bred animals from three to seven
years old that have yet to make their first
public appearance.
The first animal led out was 'Jcannctte."
five years old this spring, of Messenger stock
ter marc upon the other; asplendid roadster
Of faultless form aud disposition, handled to
make n family pet. The next was Lady
Champion, blood bay five years old, by
Champion out Of Kit, an animal Of superior
action and. great promise. Nellie. seven
years old, by Pat Arnold and Nettie Arnold
another fine mare, now herself with foal by
Standard Bearer strain. Bessie Lee, six
years old this spring, Nellie's mate and her
full sister, is equally fine. Belle Modoc. a
beautiful three-year-old da'k bay filly, by
Modoc. the celebrated thoroughbred horse
brought to this county by the late Captain
Tarlton, and whose pedigree We some time
ago published; her dam Nellie Arnold. Belle
Modoc will be heard from. She is simply
magnificent In action, reminding one Of a
cat in her movements. That she will be
true goer Is settled The whole party went
into ecstacies over this magnificent young
mare. Antelope, another equally graceful
three-year-old filly, sired by Modoc from Kit,
the old Risdyk trotter, was led forth. Her
blood, on her sre's side, runs into the Wood
pecker strain, which was Arabian. As
wonderful as 1t may appear, Antelope bears
the marks Of her Arabian blood in peculiar
bright white sploches in her sorrel coating.
Antelope and Belle Modoc are destined to
command fancy prices. From box stalls in
another barn two young stations, both four
year-olds-Pat Arnold, junior, and Colonel
M.-both sired bv Pat Arnold, senior. and
the latter crossed with Glencoe blood. Their
colts will tell tor the next year, but as road
sters they promise big things. 1t will be
seen that Pat Arnold and Kit are the sire and
dam Of several Of these finest colts. Pat Ar
mold is Messenger, dam Stockbridge Chief
or Blackhawk strain. His sire was u half
brother to Ethan Allen. Kit is of Risdyk's
aud Eclipse stock, so il will
be seen the blood Of these colts comes from
high sources.
In an adjoining lot We were shown nine
one and two year old colts all equally well
bred, together with old Nellie Arnold who
appears to WELD motherly influence over
the playful herd, together with some common
ponies. 1t will assuredly pay any Of our
lovers Of fine stock TO visit Mayor Grei6en-
stems stables.

ON TEE THROUGH LINE TO TEE PACIFIC.

When at last the Santa Fc road was To-
Gated, and Wichita found herself on side
track OF the main line, nearly every one
wished that it were otherwise. But time,
and the cxigencics of traffic and the demands
Of the country, made the side track the link
in the main line from the Mississippi river to
the Pacific. 1t is Topeka, Emporia, Atch-
ison and Kansas City that are on the switch
now. On and after the 10th Of this month,
it is announced in the associate dispatches
that the through Pacific trains will start from
st. Louis over the Frisco by way ofWichita,
Sedgwick City and Halstead, track having
been ordered between the last two named
