Wakefield, Neb., Aug. 17.-Ap-
plieation has been made in the
District Court of this (Dixon)
county for the appointment of
guardian for Leslie Il. Hines, now
on his deathbed here as a result of
three years spree, in the course
of which he dissipated a fortune of
nearly 100000.
Until the spring of 1875 Hines
was a cowboy in Cunning county.
In the summer of 1894 Israel Hines
died in Butte, Mont, leaving an
estate worth S3,0OO,OOO. At first it
was thought ne had no surviving
relatives, but after nearly a years
search the administrators of his
estate discovered that Leslie Il.
Hines, OF Cunning county, Neb.,
was his cousin and sole heir. Leslie
had never heard of his wealthy
cousin before. but he had no diff
tieulty in proving his relationship,
and the property passed at once
into the young mans hands.
Hines first act was TO present his
'side partner" Bob Hicks, with
100000. Then the two went on
what was, perhaps, the grfndest
celebration that the West has ever
known. Nothing was too good for
them. Their first visit was to
Chadron, Neb., where they literally
threw their money about the streets.
Several gamblers made small for
tunes during their fortnight's stay
in town. An entire hotel was char
tered for their accommodation.
Champagne, terrapin and pate de
foie gras became common articles
of diet for the first time in t.
tory of the village. Ths~
town was invited to theaoanquA
and for two wseLssnsone of The
male population who could be in
duced to drink drew a sober breath.
Then they hired a special car
and took a party of friends with
| thClu W DCduNOOu. 1HtEc lUc pFO-
gram was repeated. After another
week or two the private car carried
them to the Pacific coast. Royalty
never Jared more sumptuously.
Hicks stake was soon exhausted,
and Hines gave him 800, 900 more.
At San Francisco they were the
reigning sensation for several
months. A trip through Mexico
| followed.
On their way back Hicks died at
HermOsillo, and Hines went his way
alone. He visited the Sandwich
Islands, Japan and Australia, re-
turned to San Francisco early in
the winter of 1897, lived gorgeous
ly for time, and then, as his mon
ey began to run short and his
creditors to press him, he returned
to Cunning county.
His health failed soon after his
arrival here. He has completely
broken down by his long debauch
and his death is hourly expected.
OF his fortune probably not over
$40, 900 or $4,000 remains.

Long, and with the assistaa-
Elder Parker, were entirely
cess, and with undated iItefst.
The sermons were Of high order
of merit, able, logical, and edifying
to an eminent degree. Perfect at
tention and good order were had,
and it seemed like one of those old
time meetings in our forefathers'
time when people went to church to
hear the gospel and not to show
their fine dressing. We are sorry
that Bro. Long can't preach for US
always, as he is an able divine.

In an extended interview printed
in the Philadelphia Times of We'd
nesday last Col. Peter Donap, the
always enthusiastic representative
of the great Northwest, was asked:
s'What about the klondike and
Alaska boom? Is not the rush
about over?" Col. Donan replied:
INV dear boy, it has hardly be-
gun! 1t will only be four or hye
weeks till the first boat of the sea-
son comes out of the Yukon. She
will be little fat~bottomed, stern
wheel affair, but she will bring out
nearly five times as much gold as
all the steamers of last year put to-
eether. She will bring, from all
Indications, somewhere from fifteen
TO twenty tons Of gold. No, you
do not understand. That was what
said-from fifteen to twenty tons
of gold dust ard nuggets! The
whole amount to come out Of this
season will probably run somewhere
from forty to sixty tons of solid
gold! All the result of a few
months work by few hundred
men. most Of whom this time last
wear had not money enough to pay
for a drink or buy a poker chip!
When that gold begins to roll out by
tons, by freight carloads, you will
see such a rush Alaskaward as has
never been Witnessed on this CONT
nent since the famous old Califor-
nia days of 1849! How about the
gold fields? They seem almost ILL.,
mitab1e in extent and richness.
They cover more than zoo'oo
square miles, of which hardly 1000
have ever been prospected, and new
and wonderful discoveries are being
constantly made. There is gold
enough up there to pay all the blils
of several Spanish wars, and make
1000, 600 millionaires besid-s!'

AN EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Editor:

MIR. Editor:
We noticed in the Dry Greek
communication to the The CHRoN-
ICLE last week an item concerning
the anticipated wedding, in which
we wish to correct the impression
chat the guests were "self-imvited. /"
The wouId-be bride and groom
invited their near and dear friends
to be present at the home of the
bride on Sunday at 3 p. m. to wit
the nuptials, but there was no we'd
ding. The cause is not known, I'M
less the parties concerned we're too
timid to "face the music" on such
a bright day.
Granted that this is true, if they
can summon sufficient courage to
make a second effort we hope they
can be more successful, and we
would suggest that they wait until
the light of day has passed and the
sable shades of nighthave shrouded
the earth in darkness and they can
have the nuptial knot tied in as
quiet a manner as possible.

To the Democracy of Benton County:
We, the citizens of the tenth dis
trict, feel grateful to you for the
honor you conferred upon one of
our citizens, friend and neighbor,
A. P. Lashlee, last Saturday by en-
dorsing him in mass-convention at
Camden as your choice for foater.
To know Priest Lashlee is to love
him; we, his neighbors, know that
he is tower Of strength in the
churches, irrespective of denomi-
nations, and no man has done more
for the grand old Democratic party
in Benton County and asked for
less at it's hands than Priest Lash
lee. The Democrats of the "old
tenth" are always right at his back,
and should he receive the nomina-
tion-and both Decatur and Henry
counties concede it to this county
he will receive the biggest vote in
the district ever rolled up for any
man.
And hurrah for Bob Taylor for
Senator! Give us Bob Taylor and

safe. MANY CITIZENS.
