Dropped Dead.

On Sunday morning last, while pre-
pairing to go to church. Miss Mamie
Musil, very estimable young lady of
Ellinwood, aged little over 16 years,
dropped dead of heart disease. She
was the second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. V. S. Musil, an exceptionally
bright and winsome girl, and her sud.
den death without moments warning
is most severe blow to the family.
She has been subject to heart disease
for number of years, but has not ex-
perienced any trouble of late as we are
informed. The funeral was held at 10
a. m. Thursday.

Letter Fsom Galveston.

L0u MlIl0T IeCcINtu a. lOOCOA
from his father, j. B. Miller,
while here during the holidays,
which he has kindly handed in
for publication, for the benefit Of
Jake's many friends here. After
acknowledging receipt OF a letter
from his son, Jake says:
GALVESTON TEXAS.
Dec. %, 1900.
The prospect is slim to get
anything to do here; the city is
overrun with all kinds Of trades
men. While the wages are good,
40 cents per hour, it is almost
impossible to get job; every
thing is Union, and it costs $15
to join. / have been having a
splendid time SO far; just got
back from a six days, trip out
on the gulf and bay, and up the
Trinity river. Our party was
small, only five-the agent for
the Santa Fee at Eskridge, Kan,
the banker and two cattle men
OF the same place, and myself.
We had a. fine captain and
mate, the mate was also our
cook. We took our Christmas
dinner on the briny deep, having
a large Canada goose and
dumplings, and jack snipe on
the side. In starting out we first
went out on the oyster reef and
got about five barrels OF oysters;
from there to south jttties for
fish. Had poor luck here; the
fish were not hungry guess
they still have plenty of dead
bodies to feed on, as we saw two
on the rocks here, a man
and a child. From here we start
: ed for the hunting grounds up
the Trinity river. We saw
millions OF game; it was hard to
get at the good hunting grounds,
we're all taken up; but still we
got all we could eat and that
was all we cared for. This is a
God-forsaken country. | don t
see how any one can live here.
The only way neighbors visit
here is by boat; the trees are
still green, and where the land
sticks out of the water there is
fine grazing and the ''long horns
are looking we'll. / have not
seen a single "white face" SO far
From here we went back to
Boliver Heights, where we found
all kinds of destruction. There
were two large forts here; they
are in ruins, and they claim al
. but one of the soldiers were
drouned. In looking for shells
we found over twenty bodies
still unburied. / spoke to thu
authorities about it; they claim
ed they did not know it, but as
it was, they could not do any
thing for lack of funds. The SIX
day trip just cost me 5000.

The employer says: "1 don't propose to show the figures of my business to any court. I will run my business to suit myself" And so he does unless some time his workmen catch him when he is weak and make him run it to suit themselves and with out much regard to the equities of the case.
