the third ballot indicated that the next

Jones, who had attached TO his banner
pictures OF Blaine and Logan, marched
down the aisle Of the convention hall,

made Blaine's nomination certain, but
1t sealed the fate of number OF vice

PRESIDENT LINooLN's PRIVATE CAR.
a National Relic which I. Fast Going
to Ruin,

a National Relic which Is Fast Going
to Ruin.
In the switch yards OF the Union
Pacific railway at Omaha. standing in
the open air and rapidly going to de-
cay, is Lincoln's private car, national
relic, which, says the illustrated Rec.
ord, should have been preserved for all
time. On the contrary 1t is all but
forgotten and gets no more notice than
the junk Of the railroad scrap pile.
The old relic is 42 feet long and
S1s feet wide. II was built at the Unit
ed States military car shops at Alex
andria, Va, during the latter part OF
the war and was used by the emanci
pator on his visits to many points dur
ing the troubled-filled times of the civ
ic strife. No one to look at the bat
tered old hulk now would recognize IN
II what was the marvel of elegance
among early railroad equipment.
Originally there was but one en-.
trance to the car, a door iu the cor
ner OF one end on one side. Entrance
to the then separate rooms was had
from this passageway. The rear room
was larger than the others, and was
used by President Lincoln for an of.
nee and study. and also as reception
room. in which he received the gen.
erals OF the army. It is safe TO say
that in tais compartment Mr.. Lincoln
hastily wrote the notes for his famous
speech al the field of Gettysburg. Al
any rate, the President occupied tn,
coach on his trip to Gettysburg on thai
occasion.
The old. battered and al-lookin,
hulk also carried President Lincoln's
remains from Washington to Spring.
Held. Ill. Ii was in this car that tn,
body lay during that memorable jour.
ney which lasted from April 81 to Ma,
.. 1865. For some time after this tn,
car was placed in service and was usct
as directors car. but its great weigh
caused by the armor plate. with which
1t was protected. made ii objectionabl,
and IL was removed to shed in tn,
yards at Omaha. There IL stood fol
years. but, one by one, the board,
OF the covering place vanished and to,
day. as above stated, the car is ex
posed to all sorts of weather.
There was talk in 1898 of inaugural.

Sailing from England on Oct. "a the
alleged prince arrived in Canada in
due season. News OF his coming had
preceded him and large crowds as
sembled on the landing to give him
welcome. His departure from Liver
pool on board the steamer Lake Sim
coe was a notable event. First-claos
passengers, it was announced, were to
embark from the landing stage at
noon. II was only when the ships
bugle was sounded. the gangway
cleared and the last hawser thown on
that the throng realized Its disappoint-
ment. The prince had embarked early
in the morning, unobserved except by
a few officials.
In consequence OF very boisterous
passage the prince and his suite, In
common with a majority Of the other
passengers, were kept in their cabins
for two days. II was not until three
days out tnat the prince appeared in
public by attending concert given In
aid Of the Liverpool Seamen's orphan
age. He allowed his dancing girl Miss
Bahar Bux. and a couple of musicians
TO contribute an Indian song and dance
to the programme.

BUFFALO" JONES.

fsio Herder-Prominent In Political
Life--First Republican, Then n
Popniist.
Especial Letter.)


Buffalo" Jones is deao. The great
has left them and in few years the
name OF G. J. Jones will be forgotten.
He was one OF the most unique charac-
ters In Kansas, the home of great
men and freaks" Buffalo" Jones
was known from one end OF the coun-
try to the other. and a complete story
OF his life would outrlval any book of
fiction yet published. Early in his
youth he cultivated a benign feeling
for dumb brutes and his sympathy
was not without its reward. for his
animal friends seemed to understand
his affection for them and eagerly re-
sponded to II. He domesticateG
number Of buffalo, using them for ag-
ricultural purposes and demonstrating
that they had utility other than that
found in their pelts. His appeals for
the dumb race, however. we're in vain,
ard he lived to see the great family
pass away under his very eyes.
A Unique Career.
G. j. Jones was born in Tazewell
county, ILL.,, and was II years old. He
received a first-class education in the
Illinois State Normal school and for a
time was a student in Wesleyan uni
versity. After leaving school he went
to Kansas, settling in Troy, at that
time one of the oldest communities in
the state. He lived quietly here for
time, then became restless and with
crowd OF spectators started for west
ern Kansas. They located at Garden
city, and in one night a town OF 1000
inhabitants sprung up. Jones was
chief boomer He built business
block and was the first man to test
the raising Of crops in the desert by
means OF irrigation.
The prefix Buffalo was tackled to
Jones name fifteen years ago. In the
early part of 1886 he organized buf-
falo hunt at Garden City in which
about fifteen citizens participated.
The hunt lasted five days and the
hunters killed six buffalo and captured
fourteen calves. The young animals
were taken to Jones farm near Gar
den City and he began the propagation
Of the American buffalo. He could rot

wait until the small herd should null
tiply and increase and secured eighty
five more bison. These he got near
Manitoba, Canada, and while en- route
from there to his farm in Garden City
he gave exhibitions in all the princi-
pal cities. Buffalo meat at that time
was selling for fifty cents pound
in Chicago. and Jones thought that by
crossing the bison with native cattle
he would have a fortune In few
years. But this enterprise proved a
failure and few years ago he sold
the last OF his stock to Austin Corbin.
National Political Figure.
Jones was delegate from Kansas
to the National Republican convention
Of 1884. held at Chicago, and 1t was
there that he gained prominence
which spread fron ocean to ocean.
He was an enthusiastic admirer OF
James @. Blaine and upon his arrival
In Chicago had banner made

lures of sheaves OF wheat, shocks Of
corn and other illustrations setting
forth the agricultural possibilities OF
Kansas. Within this border, in let
