Obituary.



LAMAR, Colo. July 18th.
SOLOMON WISE died at his residence

day, July 18th, aged 50 years. He was
born in Hamilton county, Ohio, and
moved to Douglass county, Kansas. in
1871, and from there he came to this
neighborhood in 1887. He had large
circle Of friends in this community, who
join us in mourning his loss and in sym
patty for his afflicted wife, who has been
bereft OF the main support OF her life and
the companion OF many years. MIR. Wise
was man of considerable ability and
had served with honor in number of
public positions. He has for many years
been member and active worker in the
Christian Church. He was one OF the
Oldest settlers on the north side OF the
river and substantial citizen whose loss
will be felt by the entire community.

Preparing to welcome Him.

1t is reported that the same tramp that
was arrested here on the day of the fire
was also suspected of starting one at Las
Animas and was present at Hartland
when the fire broke out there Sunday. 1t
is claimed that he is the advance agent
for new brand Of fire proof paint, and
that the regular agent will be along in a
few days to take advantage OF the excite
ment and dispose Of a few tons of his
daub. Not to be outdone by gang OF
tramps the citizens committee have sent
an order to Missouri for genuine three
cornered rail, and have prepared some
feathers and tar that are guaranteed to
outwear his paint. Let him come now.
There is no one else the people are half
so anxious to see. HIS welcome will be
intensely enthusiastic.

ALawless Proceeding.

The fires of late have all started on
Thursday just after the first page of the
Sparks was.printed, and large number
of our citizens firmly believe the column
Of little Sparks on that page OF the paper
starts the fires. We have heard of editors
setting the world on fire and one who
succeeded in igniting the Arkansas river,
but Brother Lawless is the first one to
preform such phenomenal feat twice in
succession.

California Crops.

Ex-Judge French. one of the leading
lawyers OF the Pacific slope, while in
New York was interviewed by q Star
reporter. Said the Judge: There is a
very large amount Of humbug in regard
to the orange growers aud orange Gull
ture Of California. While that golden
fruit attains a beauty aud development
there equal to anything in the world
yet what with the cost of the land and
of its cultivation by the owners, as
well Is the ignorance or inexperience
which prevails as to its culture. the or
ange business thus far has never more
than paid expenses. Any eastern man
who crosses the continent in the hope
OF making a fortune in "A few years
from a great orange plantation will be
surely and sorely disappointed. Other
fruits do pay, and pay well. Grapes,
whether fresh or as raisius, or in wine
or brandy, are proving a very good in
yestment, California pears, apricots
and plums are also remuneratiye. The
best returns to the horiiculturist thus
far, however, have come from the
kitchen gardens where fine vegetables
are grown. Hundreds of small farm
ers have been successful in this field
The demand never ceases and seldom
falls to less than the supply. A man
with the taste for tilling the soil canal
ways succeed in California, and espec-
tally in southern California, if he con
fines his efforts to Embarrassing and
truck farming. No one can realizetoe
way vegetables grow there until he has
been there. With no cold weather. a
clear sky, and warm sun $50 days every
year, and an unlimited supply of water
for irrigational purposes, plants OF all
kinds grow almost perceptibly."

den OF his plant Tor, weeks. Reason
after time returned, bat his wonted
gladness never; and down through all
those eventful years to that fatal April
night when his own sweet life-blood
slowly oozed away, beneath that spark
ding surface OF feigned mirth drifted
the memory and the agonies OF that
great grief.
At the commencement Oft the Southern
conflict IN pleading tones he said: We
are not enemies. but friends" And at
its close. Notwithstanding all tie cruel,
bitter anguish he had endured those
four long years Of frauicidal strife:
With malice toward none, with charity
for all. he died, and many a brave
Confederate deplored
The deep damnation of his taking of.
When Stouewall Jackson died lac paid
touching tribute to his gallantry ard
said: Let us forget his errors over
his fresh-made grave" In the dark
ness Of the night on a bloody field Of
the peninsula he bent beside the pros
trate form of dying soldier Of the
South, and, while the hot tears rolled
down his furrowed checks, soothed
him with words Of sympathy, and by
the dim rays of a lantern took down
from his lips message TO his mother,
and sent it by a flag of truce into the
enemies lines to be transmitted to his
home.
The narration of his many deeds OF
kindness and mercy while at Washing
ton would ill a volume. He loved to
rescue an erring soldier boy from the
jaws Of death and fill a mothers eyes
with tears Of JOY. He loved to dispel
the clouds of sorrow from a wife's sad
heart and warm it with the sunshine Of
happiness. He loved to take the child
of poverty upon his knee and plant
within its little breast the seeds of con.
fdence and hope.
Glorious apostle of humanity! When
shall we look upon his like again? So
honest so truthful, so Just, so charita.
Bile, so loving, so merciful! Law was
his God, justice his creed, and liberty
his heaven. 1t he sinned mercy
prompted him. In the presence Of
such religion how contemplate your
puny theoIogians aud their narrow
creeds appear!
Born in western wild, dying in
Nations Capital, its honored chief, en-.
shrined in the hearts of an admiring
world, Abraham Lincoln stands to-day
the gentlest, purest, noblest character
in human history. Millenniums may
pass away, uuuumbered generations
come and 90, creeds rise and fall but
divine faith of freedoms martyr a
faith based upon immutabie law, eternal
justice, universal liberty, a faith formu-
lated not in perishabIe words but in
immortal deeds, will live on through
all the years to come, a torch of hope
to every son of toll.

An Irish Squaw Man Gets Little this
Best of Bushyhead.

Bushyhcad. one Of the members Of
the Cherokee Commission, is still in
Washington and many Il one passes
the Indian chief without knowing he
is an Indian. lie is tall, brown Of
skin, but has the features of the Cau-
casian race; and it is said he is not
more than one-eighth Indian.
He married some years ago a niece
of Senator Butler, Of South Carolina,
who had gone out to Tahlequah as a
teacher. A good story is told of him
when he was Governor OF the Cherokee
Nation. The Cherokees are the most
civilized of all the Indian tribes and
one of their laws is in favor OF prohibi-
ton. The law OF the United States is
that no one shall give or sell tirewater
to an Indian. but the Cherokee legisla-
tors 20 further and prohibit the bring
inc Of it into the Territory.
In Tahlequah, when Bu,hyhead was
Governor, there was an Irish black
smith named Mike Delaney. Now,
Mike had been received into the tribe
because he had married a squaw, and,
strange as il may seem. was more Of
an Indian than any native. He used
to crate by the hour over his forge at
the wrongs OF the red men, and one Of
his favorite perorations was:

white man. Ghriyen from our homes in
