AUBREY's FAMOUS RIDE.
A Feat That Has Few Parallels in
PhYAiCnI Endurance and Rrnvnrx


"The greatest physical achievement
ever accomplished In this country"
said John 4. Graham mt the Glenarm to
Denver News reporter, was tho ride
of f. y, Aubrey from the plaza of Santa

eight hundred miles, through country
inhabited by warlil<e Indians, large
part OF which was thon sandy desert. y
Being urged to give an account OF tho
great ride, Graham proceeded: at was
about the year 1851 that Aubrey gave
his wonderful test of human endurance
before which all attempts of the
kind pale into significance. He was
n short, heavy set man, thirty.
eight years of age, in the prime OF
manhood and strength. His business
for ten years as Santa Fe trader had
made him perfectly familiar with tho
trail and all the stopping places. Ho
was perfect horsemau, and, although
there were great riders in those days,
none OF them cared to dispute the palm
with Aubrey. On n wager OF 81 900 no
undertook to ride alone from Santa Fc
to Independence inside of six DAYS 1t
was thirty-nine years ago that he under
took the terrible feat 1t was to be tho
supreme effort OF his life. and he sent a
half dozen Of the swiftcst horses ahead
to be stationed at different points for
use in the ride. He left Santa Fee in
sweeping gallop, and that was the pace
he kept up during nearly every hour OF
the time until he fell fainting from his
foam-covered horse in the square at In.
dependence. No man could keep with
the rider, and hewould have killed every
horse in the west rather than to havo
failed in the undertaking. 1t took him
just five days and nineteen hours to per.
form the feat, and it cost the lives
OF several Of his best horses. After being
carried into room at the old hotel at
Independence, Aubrey lay for forty.

came to his senses. lie woUld never have

after his ride he became the lion OF

the hand of a friend. One day in 1854,
in an alteration with Major Richard A.

THE EXPOS TTION.

II any hing was wanting to prove the
pract ticability OF an annual exposition in
Omaha, it is furnished by the results of
the exhibition just closed at the Coli
scum. Coverings a period Of three weeks,
public interest in the exhibits and enter
tanments did not wane and the patron
age extended serves to show the sub
stantial appreciation Of the people.
The exposition was organized too late
intheseason to malSeit truly representa-
tive OF the trade and ind ustrial interes IS
Of the city. Despite the brief time at
the disposal of the managers, their en-
ergy and ability wrought a creditable
exhibit, instructive and entertaining to
young and old and profitable to all con-
ccrued.
Omaha's commanding position calls
for greater efforts toprovide an annual
entertainment not only for the people of
the city but for the tn ousands in the
surrounding country, The superior ac'
com modatiOns and metropolitan attrac-
tons Of the city, combined with
an annual exposition, will draw
thousands of people to Omaha an
nually. But there must be variety and
novelty. New features must beinvented.
Monotony is the graveyard Of success.
Repetitions become stale and profitless.
The experience of other cities must be
studied so as to avert a possible failure
The success of two years shows that con-
slant change is essential to permanency
The question of permanency depends s
solely on the enterprise and skill OF the
managers. 1t is matter Of dollars
literally invested in recurring at
fractions and in thoroughly acquainting g
the people with the leading features OF
the exposition. But the work must be
carri forward on high er and more ex-
tended lines than heretofore, and same.
ness avoided. The measure Of success
will be in'proportion to the liberality
and we'll directed energy of the man

From Chicago To England In Six Days

Mr.. Bender of Three Rivers, chief
promoter of the Labrador railway
scheme, states that the project is max
ing satisfactory progress, says an Ottawa
dispatch to the Chicago Tribune The
scheme has been taken up in England by
eminent capitalists, and now William II.
Balch and other English capitalists are
in this country solely in the interests of
the scheme. They have their own
engineers surveying the route Of the rail
way, and their last report covering tho
$50 miles, which is the total length of
the road, is very satisfactory. There
are absolutely no engineering impede
ments. Mr.. Balch is impressed with
the feasibility of establishing an ocean
port at ST Charles Bay or the Straits OF
Cele Isle, from which fast steamers can
make the ocean trip to England in three
days and thirteen hours.
ut will, said Mr.. Bender, put
Chicago within six days of England.
1t will also enable England in case OF
trouble with the United States to lanti-
troops right in Canada free from tho
hazards involved in the use OF the
Intercolonial railway. Mr. Bender stated
that the Northern Pacific is anxious to
connect with the Labrador railway to
secure direct and short route to
Europe, and that the company will later

Death of Postmaster James. of Sac Citv

Sac County lows Democrat.
At the early dawn of the last day of
1889 was our city startled by the an
nouncement of the death of one of our
most active and energetic business
men-Mr. J. II. James.
Mr.. James had been in Indifferent
health for about year, having had a
severe spell of sickness about A wear
ago from which he never fully recoy-
cred, yet by his naturally restless and
energetic spirit he carried on a multi
plicity of business which he personally
superintendent until the evening before
his sudden taking off. For several
days he had been complaining, and the
evening before his death in converse
| ton with the writer at the postotfiee
Mr.. James remarked that he was going
up home and it would probably be
several days before he came down
town again, as he was going to rest.
He rested fairly well all night until I
o'clock in the morning; when he woke
up and said TO his wife that he felt
much better and would 90 the office

Of the p. .. quarter. In few mo-
,ments she felt him give quick Jerk

discovered that he was diving. She
went for the family physician. DR..

the Eternal World at $50.
J. II. James was horn near Mineral

in politics, and enjoyed the confidence
of all his political associates, and the
esteem of all his political enemies for
his outspoken views.
He was Il member of the knights
Templars, knights of Pythias and other
kindred associations. The body was
taken to his home at Mineral Point,
