of the streets, except the roads and side
walks, are covered with wire-grass and
weeds. The streets are blocked up with
litter, lumber, old cross.ties and logs.
Between the stores and or the back
grounds the trash don't look as if it had
been piled or burned since 1865, and
perhaps not then, as there was not much

There are two newspapers published here
now, and city government with a Mayor

Anderson, is the city marshal. While
an editor was trying to make favorable

HOxIR DEAD.

The death of II 81. Uoxie, General
Manager of the Could southwestern sys-
TEN, was announced by telegram on the
morning Of the sd. The cause OF lis
death was exhaustion, consequent on
the operation performed on him last
June. OF AIR. Hoxie's death the Atchi-
son Champion says: every little of
Mr.. Hoxe's history has ever been given
to the public. He belonged to class
of men who do not take the public into
their confidence, who do not court popu-
lar favor. He was, We believe, a native
of Iowa; at any rate he lived there in
very early life. He was surrounded by
poverty, it is said, though stories of the
kind are apt to cluster around the youth
OF almost every man who rises to any
thing ike fame or fortune. 1t is said
that the young Hoxie worked for some
time rs a stable boy. He became known
iu Iowa as politician, and was at ono
time Chairman of the State Republican
Central Committee He went from
iowa to Texas and took charge of the
Gould system of railroads in that sec
ton. Thence he was transferred to St.
Louis, and the general management of
The Missouri Pacific system His name
became common in this section during
the brief strike of 1880. In that matter
Mr.. Hozie was the opponent Of any CON
cession. but other counsels than his,
notably those Of Capt. Hayes, prevailed,
aud the strike soon came to- a speedy
end, to the great joy Of the general pub
lie, whose sympathies were with the
strikers. T 1t is painful to aDn-
template a career like that Of H. NJ.
Hoxie, a man giving up all that bright
ems life and relieves it for time of its
/ burdens. to do the will o; q corporation,
mourning without hinching the bitter
( hatred Of thousands Of men, loading
/ himself with iucalculabIe iabors, refus-
/ irg to leave his post and dying at last
with grim fidelity.

will reconect as being the equal Of the
last Tuesday storm In severity. Fiji

by the storm was immense, the whole
bottom being covered thickly with the

Horse Tbiere Anticg in Faradls.

Horse Thiers Antics IN Paradise.
A somewhat romantic story comes
from Paradise township. A young
man living in Osborne county stole a
horse from a ne!ghbor and mad e for
Paradise township, where he had
friends. The sheriff Of Osborne got on
his track and in a short time got on
his man. He put hand cuffs on him,
but as the fellow appeared very peni-
tent and placable, be finally took them
of. As they were about to depart the
women friends OF the young man gath
cred around him to bid him good bye
and one Of them slipped a six shooter
in his hand. He then pointed his
weapon at the Sheriff, commanded
him to keep his distance, and backed
out of the door. In another moment
he was on a horse thst had been sad
died for him, and rode rapidly away.
Pursuit. was made, but without success.
That night he returned and got the an.
imal lie had stolen. At the present
writing he is still at large.-Stockt0n

Tas Girard storm

The injured persons in the Girard,
KS, storm are on the rapid road To re
c0very. Wm. Smith, 5. W. HerrIn and
Miss Matte Goodin, the three persons
who sustained the most serious bruises,
are pronounced by the physicians as be-
ing out of danger. The total loss Of
pro erty after a careful estimate, in
Guiding household furniture and build
iugs, cannot exceed 50 900, and this is
q very liberal estimate. The storm did
no damage outside OF the city, and
those who are the most serious suffer
els by loss of property will be aided by
public subscription. The work of re-
building has now commenced. The
tower Of the Presbyterian church, which
was wrecked, was torn down. Il was
one of the Oldest churches in the City,
and the congregation is 8 large and rich
