SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-Oid Cali
fornians were shocked last September to
hear that Z. H. Hobbs, a pioneer, who
made fortune at Jose and built the cost.
lest residence in that city. had been
killed in the Transvaal by his partner. 1t
was understood that Hobbs was engaged ia
diamond mining. and that the dispute grew
out of division Of the profits. The story
was given with great detail and biogr,l-
phies Of Hobbs were given In all the papers
here. HIS family at San Jose went into
mourning.
A few days ago ex-Partk Superintendent
Hennessy. Of San Francisco. returned from
O visit to London. In q talk with your cor.
respondent this afternoon he declared that
Hobbs was alive in London. and was en-
gagged in y large financial scheme to dis
pose Of the Transvaal railroad, of which he
had secured the control. Said Hennessv :
II was in McMurdo's Office In London
when who should walk in but a man that
was the very image Of the dead Hobbs.
stared ut him and he hastily left the office.
When he went out l said, If didn't know
old Hobbs, of San Jose. was dead and buried
in the Transvaal, l should say that was
Hobbs who just came in here McMurdo
laughed, and replied: That was Hobbs,
and then he told this strange story. 1t
seems Hobbs got the idea that he could
secure control Of the Transvaal railway.
In order to rush his scheme secretly he
caused the report to be sent out
to America that he had been shot. He
had this report published in the South
African papers; then he began to work bis
cards, and soon had obtained possession OF
the railway. He expects to get 500, OC0 for
the property, as both England and Ger
many covet it."
From other sources it was learned that
Hobbs was living with woman in London
while his family in San Jose is mourning
him rs dead in a foreign land.

-One OF the unluckiest men we have ever
known was even conscious Of his illluck.
and declared that somehow or another, the
off-chance always hit him. 1t was partly
true; but the intimate fricnds who knew
and loved him understood well that there
was in him this awkwardness, this re-
dundancy of angles presented to fate, in a
very high degree, that being at once good
man, thoughtful man, and highly cuI.
tivatcd ono, he always in critical moments
contrived to do precisely the wrong thing.
This capahility Of being incapable is by no
means unusual On the other hand the
lucky man who fits his fortunes, who
whether apparently able or stupid,
can do just what his especial circum-
stances require him to do. Very
stupid men are often ready men, armed
with readiness as of dogs when they
twist from under cartwheel unhurt. The
''fool who makes . fortune' IS usually Q
man with just the foresight, or the judg-
ment, or the intuitve perception of the
way things are going-a faculty like long
sight or keen hearing and independent of
intellectual power-requisitet to make large
profits quickly. In fact, the fortunate man
Il usually the man who. in consequence OF
some hidden quality in his nature, deserves
fortune. Nevertheless, there is residuum
Of true personal good or i'll luck Of men to
whom things happen SO unusual, and so
little applicable by their acts or any thing

ture for the week ending March 81, 1888:
Wheat area sown in the State in the fall
Of 1887 rs compared with that sown the pro-
viOus year, 10l per cent, which gives = to-
tai area for the State Of 1915 SIS acres,
which IL an access OF Il, 30 acres above the
acreage of the previous year. Winter killed

pared with full stand and unimpaircd VII
tality, Q. per cent.
Tame Grasses-Al varieties Of tame
grasses suffered more or less from the
drought OF last season, and as reports vary
in regard to them 1t is difficult to deter
mine which variety has withstood the
drought best; but timothy and clover,
especially for Eastern and alfalfa and or.
chard grass for Western Kansas, seem 70
give on the whole the best satisfaction.
Fruit-Buds Of all varieties with the ex.
ception Of peaches are reported In good
hes!thy condition and promise good crop.
The season is reported generally through
out the State as about two weeks
late, but the ground without any ex.
ceptl0n Is in excellent condition for
spring crops. The subsoil of Kan
sas is reported as more thoroughly
soaked by the March rains than it has been
for many years. Altogether the situation
In Kansas at this time is most hopeful and
the farmers throughout the State are in
good spirits and not without reason are ex-
pecting a bountiful yield from the seed
that they put into the ground this season.
Rye-The general condition of the crop,
as compared with the average condition,
100 per cent.
Live Slock-Horses: Condition generally
good, but IN many counties thin i'm flesh in
consequence Of the scarcity and high price
of gram; no prevailing disease.
Observation-Disclosures the fear and
anxiety Of farmers throughout the State
last fall, cattle have gone through the VIM
ter in fair shape, as a rule and the percent
age Of loss is less than it has been for a
number Of years. In general, cattle are
thin, but in good health, and have sufficient
strength to carry them through to grass.
Only u few counties report loss, aSA these
are in the extreme western portion OF the
State, and are attributed 10 cOrnstalks and
other dry. indgestble food.
Hogs-Farmers generally, on account Of
the light corn crop, sold their hogs of
close in the fall, and those remaining are
for the most part thin in flesh. There will
be but few pigs this spring. In few
counties hog cholera is reported, but gen.
orally in mild form. and it is no doubt
only the remnant of that fearful scourge
which played so much havoc among the
hogs Of Kansas the two preceding years.
