A PRAIRIE MYST ERT.
Is 1t Former Wilmingtonfan Found
Dead on the Plains


Dead on the Plains?
An Associated Press dispatch dated
Sidney, Nebraska, yesterday says:
"a cowboy yesterday discovered near Old
Julesbnrg the decomposcd body of IL man.
He apparently had been dead several
weeks. Beside him was revolver with one
cartridge in it. Two gHnshot wounds were
noticed in the body The man was five feet
four inches high, with blonde mustache and
hair, and wore dark clothes.
Friends of Edward f. jackson, formerly
of this city are fearful that it is his corpse
which has been found near Old Julesburg,
and are anxiously awaiting any informa-
tion rs to the identity of the body. Mr..
jackson was one of the best-known of
Wilmington's newspaper men, and for years
held the position OF city editor of Hgely
Ereailig. Some time last winter he went
west to engage in business and was in
Cheyenne and Chicago The last heard
from him was brief letter received from
Sidney Nebraska dated March Is, by his
father
Since then no tidings have been received
directly or indirectly, although efforts have
been made to find out where he was. The
description of the man answers that of Mr..
jackson with the exception of his height.
His friends think he was n little taller than
five feet four.
His many friends in this city will be
anxiously awaiting any news from Sidney,
and it is to be hoped that the fears expressed
are unfounded.

MOVING TRACKS.

Preparations Looking to the Occupancy
OF the New Station.
A decided step has been taken at the p,
w. and B. railroad station toward the new
arrangement for the arrival and departure
of trains. On Saturday night the platform
ON the south side of the tracks, opposite the
station, was removed and everything gotten
in readiness for quick work. Early yester-
day morning a gang Of 100 men, under
Division of Supervisor r. II. Seely began
operations, and before night both tracks
between French and Poplar streets had
been shifted three feet further south, with
out in the least interfering with travel.
A new track will be laid between the pres
ent south bound track and the station for
the use of trains running south until the old
depot is torn down, when the track under
the shedding, now used for departing Will
mmgton trains, will be extended ,and south
bound trains will then run close to the
station. The present tracks will be allowed
to remain in the position to which they have
just been moved for the accommodation OF
freight traffic. II has not yet been made
public when the new station will be thrown
open, but it is expected the transfer of the
offices will be made in a short time.

Delivery Commenced-A Few Points OF
Interest Concerning the work.
The work of delivering the new city
direetOry's for 1898 was commenced this
morning by Ferris Bros. The book will be
eagerly received by the business men of
Wilmington, who were beginning to become
very impatient at the long and apparently
uncalled- for delay IN its appearance. We
have not yet received bound copy of the
work, but from advanced sheets, kindly
furnished by the publishers, 1t is learned
that the letter-press Is better than that of the
last issue, and the whole general appearance
is good.
From casual investigation number of
annoying errors have been detected and the
publishers will undoubtedly receive the
usual number of complaints incident to the
publication of the volume. The errors re-
ferred to are Enthusiastically those of the can
vassers. f'-t Elf h5sf H*l q 9*
