the Santa Fe road. died suddenly at the
Holland house New York yesterday
morning. He had risen late and was
blessing when he suddenly became un-
conscious, and before the arrival Of
medical aid. which was summoned, he
died. Wilson's two daughters, who
accompanied him to the city when he
came there to look after the Atchison
saystem's interests, were at his bedside
when he died. Death was caused by
heart disease, brought on, it is believed,
by overwOrk. Wilson was So years old
and Of robust appearance. The body
will be removed to Wilson's late home in
Topeka, Kan, where the burial will
take place.

GEORGE Il. Buchanan, secretary Of the
Bord of Trade of Colorado Springs, says
that the great plains country is subject
to wet and dry cycles of ten years dura-
ton. Prof. Snow, of the Kansas State
University, says the wet and dry cycles
are Of several years duration. Both
agree that there is cycle. But this is
largely theorizing. In '92 there were
good crops upon the plains, also in 80.
aud now we have good crops in '95, that
would indicate cycle of three years.

"Western people are the most eXtrav-

There is a good deal of sober truth in
this. The average western man does not

saving. The frugal habits of the down
easterner transplanted to Kansas would
make this state lOaner instead of a
borrower in ten years.

The lurid writer of fiction and romance
frightened his imagination in pyrctech-
nical rhetoric on description Of Indian
-escapades and buffalo chases, but he pro-
badly never too highly colored his by
perbole of fanciful expression the prai-
RE fire. His picture of fleeing life before
the devastating and devouring flames of
. prairie fire was not overdrawn. These
fires have rendered fearful havoc and in
their course have persisted man and
beast. The prairie fires that followed the
drouthy period of 1880, were heart
rending. and the most destructive within
the history of the country. Houses, stock
and feed were destroyed. aud several
lives were lost from injuries received in
the fire. The dry and very windy wealth.
er that continued so long added fuel to
the flames; and once started the fire had
to take its course-it could neither be
checked nor controlled.
1t is dangerous to burn the grass, and
the results are harmful in climatic effects
and for agriculture.
The last legislature fOrsaw the necessity
of legal barrier regarding prairie fires;
and if officers and people will do their
duty under the law, we shall not likely
witness the dreadful and disastrous effects
of prairie fires that we have seen in the
past.

Travellers have killed these animals from

down with reckless abandon, and hides
and carcass were left to dry up and bleach
under the sun. This was called sport.
Buffalo hides were once common ar

treasure. Few families retain buffalo
robe as souvenir of early times, and

are different at the present time compar-
ed to those in the sixties. The old stage
coach and the locomotive are wide COM
pariscns; but the stage is still in service
in some parts Of the west.
A. j. Anthony, who is one of the old
est settlers, during the year 1868, and for
A. years, was conductor and express
messenger on the stage line from Kansas
City to Santa Fe, n. NJ, a distance of
$50 miles. The trip was made in eleven
days and the same number of days to re-
turn in. Mr.. Anthony made the entire
trip without change. travelling night and
day, and getting no rest, except what
sleep he would catch at times. when not
on the alert of danger.
The stage coaches were the ordinary
Concord coaches, and usually six horses,
three abreast, were attached. The line
followed the old Santa Fee trail. That
trail crossed the Arkansas river at Fort
Lyon in Colorado, about Us miles west.
The Santa Fe trail followed through the
city of Dodge about where the main line
Of the Santa Fe railroad now -uns But
there was no Dodge City then. Stage sta
tons were located every Is or 16 miles,
where water and feed were had and the
changes of horses were made. The stage
coaches were never troubled by Indians;
but at one time the Cimarren station was
attacked.
Another line of stages followed the
trail from Santa Fe to Tucson. Arizona,
distance Of 700 miles. This stage line
never went out without . government es-
cort. These stage lines were owned by
J. L. Sanderson & Co., who made nearly
. million dollars. and retired to homes In
St Louis.
Mr.. Anthony speaks of the Indians as
being generally docile and never molest-
ing the stage line. He has seen herds of
buffaloes fifty miles long. When the stage
came across these big herds it was oblig-
ed to wait until the herd passed the cross
ing, il at night time. It was not safe to
ride through the herd. The buffaloes
went in bands like sheep. Sometimes the
stage would wait all night until the buf-
faloes had passed. There was danger of
and piling up II IN attempt
was made to 60 through the buffalo herd.
Frequently the stage would 60 around
the herd in the day time. The buffaloes
were not wild when they travelled In such
large herds. They went in lunches as the
cattle men describe il. Buffaloes could
be killed by firing from the stage coach
or wagon. The Indians slaughtered ma
ny Of them, but white men killed them
mostly for the hides. Buffaloes ate the
grass down close to the ground.

The freighting of merchandise tOmil =
itary posts and ranches in the Pan Han
die of Texas and Indian territory, gave
employment to many men and teams.
Oxen and mules were the principal ami
mails in use, and with trail wagons sever
al tons of merchandise was carried with
one driver; but several teams formed the
outfit, and the starting out Of train of
merchandise was more of all event than
the coming or going of passenger train
at railroad station nowadays. Out
fitting stores in Dodge City furnished the
goods that supplied the points south; but
before the railroad was built, there were
Quitting stations, and the goods were
brought by wagons from the Quitting
points on the Missouri river. The Santa
Fe trail is known by every student OF the
history of the west.
sts
The direct point where the Santa Fe
trail crossed the Arkansas river has been
disputed or indefinitely designated; but
old settlers inform us that the trail was
across the river above Cimarron, a cross
ing much used by the Indians. This was
called the ''dry trail.'' as it wended its
way sOuthwestward, through a country
affording little water. The main trail
followed up the river to Bent's fort, Col
orado. and thence down into New Next
co, and following more on the line of the
water courses.
The Santa Fe trail left Independence,
Mo-, the Quitting point for all merchan-
disc transported over the plains. 1t ran
south of Lawrence, Kansas, through old
Hickory Point, where the trail from Lea.
venworth joined in; and through Council
Grove, where the trail from Topeka
struck it, and where the Fert Riley road
joined it. The trail crossed the historic
Cow creek just north Of Sterling, passing
through Great Bend; crossed the Arkan-
sas river west of Fort Dodge, and follow.
ing generally southwest course from
Mora to Santa Fe. The trail followed al
50 the line of country north Of the Fort,
over what is termed "Dry Ridge"-the
Speareville country-fcr this was long
stretch of country from point near Kin
sley, where the trail left the river, and 1t
did not meet the river again until it
reached Fort Dodge. There was no water
along this divide, and it derived the name
''Dry Ridge" With slow OK teams this
was good day s drive, and water must
always be provided; but the cut of COM
peusated for the discomfort of the lack
of water.

This country was embraced in the ORR
ginal Louisiana purchase which in
cluded all the northwestern territory. Its
subdivision has continued in the progress
of settlement and growth until the area
is circumscribed in state, county and mu-
nicipality. Forty years ago Council
Grove was the center of the "Kansas In
dian Reservation" and was near the cor
ners of four large counties called Davis,
Wise. Breckenridge and Richardson. At
that time all the south half of Kansas
west of longitude 80 was called Washing
ton county, and all that west Of Longitude
lO3 to the Rocky Mountains was called
Arapahoe county, containing Pixies Peak
and Denver country.

Wild horses roamed over these plains
in small bands, but the catching of these
wild steeds was not pleasant pastime,
but was attended with fruitless effort and
difficult search. These horses were not
