Personal Traits of a Man Who has Recent

Trouble.

Among the early settlers OF the great
Arkansas Valley non hold to-day IL
higher place in public esteem than Cap
tam ID. il. Payne, Trontlersman, scout,
Indian tighter, lanchman, Oklahoma
boomer; or ..OId Ox-heart," as be is
Familiarity called by MS friends. Payne
was the Ilfst settler in Payne township,
Sedgwick county, Kansas, III the tall of
1870, since which time this place has
been Payne's home and voting place.
Payne started his ranch in 1870, II
s.paYne's Ranch" at once became the
home Of every starved emlgrant ina
sought this portion OF the State. There
Payne fed and clothed them, gave then
whisky and ammunition, OF anything
else that he had, and always without
money or price. A shake or the hand,
and God pIess you old boy" was his
parting to his guest. OF course this gen.
eral distribution of his stores could not
last. lie sold all he had to keep his
credit good, among other things d fine
farm in Doniphan county, Kansas. Old
timers will always keep his good deeds
in mind. His charity was u~nbounded.
His house was known to all the vagrant train,
He child Their wanderings, but relieved their pain.
The 4ong-remeubered eggar was lis guest,
Whose leard, descending. swept his aged breast.
Captain Payne is now about hty years
OF age, siz feet tall, broad-shOuldered and
well formed. Few men in the West
have SO general an acquaintance with
public men, or are letter Judges OF
human nature, and his stock Of general
information is ~unbounded. Few marks
men in the Union are his equal with the
rifle, and his personal courage has never
been questioned. Like all truly brave
men, Captain Payne is extrenlely polite,
courteous under all circumstances, and
generous to a fault.
Payne has represented Donlphan and
SeagWick counties in the Legislature OF
Kansas. For the past five years Payne
has e~ndeavored to open the Oklahoma
lands in Indian Territory to White set
tlement. 70 accomplish this aim Payne
has labored necessarily. Several times
driven out OF the public lands by the
United States troops, Payne now returns
to the task as urbane, as courteous as de-
termined as OF yore. Thoroughly con-
versant with every foot OF the Oklahoma
country, its settlement by the whites
has now become a mania with him. On
February |, 1883, Captain Payne with
his Oklahoma colony, reinforced with
colanists from Kansas City and other
points, will move upon the coded lands.
They may fail again, but their ultimate
success is certain. The Oklahoma lands
must open to settlement, and the open
ing OF the entire Indian Territory te
white settlement is only a question o.
time. When this is accomplished, ano

Dicks gaze meanwhile was mesmer-

visage. Had it been endowed with the
basilisk's fatal power, it could not have
exercised more singular fascinati0n,
and now the young fellow no longer
questioned doubted was sure that

account, even TO himself, for the

Young Mems Christian Association

One OF the most interesting and en-
joyable occasions of the season, was the
social at the hall of the Y. NJ. C. A. on
Main street on Tuesday evening. The
apartments were beautifully decorated.
and wers crowded to their utmost
capacity. The programme was interest
ing, and afforded instruction for all
present. Mr.. and Mira. DR.. Bird fur
nished some sweet instrumental music,
followed by vocal solo by Mrs. Brown
Miss Agnes Mclean gave recitation in
her usual perfect manner, and was sue
ceeded by a song by Miss Nellie
Palmer. Master Mark Watson rem
dered another recitation in excellent
style. DIR. Brown followed with vocal
solo,. and was enthusiastically encored,
the audience evidently appreciating bis
efforts. Mr.. Rees then gave a select
reading. carefully rendered, after which
Frank Smith gave a recitative which was
well received. DIR. Bird again sang a
song in good style, after which another
recitation, by Miss Alice Jewell, was
well rendered. Prof. Booth sang "The
Little Brown Cot" and was, as usual,
warmly encored. The officers of the
association extend their thanks for the
hearty cooperation they receive from
every one, especially the ladies, and
with the continuance of such help hope
to make the rooms Of the Y. NJ. C. A. a
resort of the highest order. All young
people can there enjoy all the social and
religious privileges possible.

Jay Gould and California.

As Jay Gould will soon visit Los An
geles, it may be interesting to know
what portion of shis immense railway
system of II $50 miles, with its eastern
terminus at New York, is directly trib-
utary to this city and California. East
Of st. Louis, Gould has 1850 miles of
road in operation. Taking St. Louis,
therefore, as the point farthest east
which will be specially tributary to Los
Angeles, we find that 4s70 miles of rail
way are in operation, all subsidiary to
the Texas-Paoific road, which connects
with the Southern Pacific at Sierra
Blanca, Texas, ninety-one miles east of
Ell Paso, being two-ffths, or nearly one
half the entire vast system Of the rail-
road king. Following are the roads
specially tributary to Los Angeles: Texas
Pacific and branches, international &
Great Northern, Missouri, Kansas 4
Texas, Missouri Pacific; st. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern. As Mr.. Gould
is travelling for the express purpose of
looking at the resources of the country
through which his roads pass, as well as
their condition, we opine that, during
his stop in Southern California, he will
decide to make rates in our favor, sim
liar to the generous action of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company regarding
oranges and merchandise.
