carry out the commanders wishes, he
might then heed her pleading that sentence
be annuled. or at least suspended until the
boy had another chance of proving his 10y

a Wonderful Achievement.

he was dubbed the camel horse. No
one knows exactly what caused the big
hump on his back. but it was there. thu
top of the hump six or eight inches
above the withers Cut off the name and
not look at the head and one would think
this animal was a real camel in shape,
color and action.
For months this horse has appeared
daily on the streets. Many have noticed
and wondered. The guesSes were many
as to the cause OF that lump. but a veter-
mary stated that it was caused by a
strain of the backbone. The horse was
a real hunchback. This gave him a very
odd appearance especially in harness.
All winter the horse has declined. His
legs were wobblier, the hair stuck
straight out from the body and he car
ried his head lower. Several days ago
he animal became sick and Tuesday he
lay down never to rise again. Everything
was done to ease the pain. but all hopes
of keeping the old horse alive were given
up long ago. He died some time Tuesday
night and the scavenger hauled him
away yesterday morning.
The horse was a faithful animal. Just
as long as he could move he hauled q
little wagon for his master and mistress.
Speed did not enter into his going. He
lust logged along. West Siders VIII
watched the old horse move could see
that every step caused pain, and in
stead of mourning yesterday there was
rejoicing as the big red wagon hauled
away the remains of the old camel

RICE COUNTY PROSPEROUS.
Col. Grimes of Lyons Praises His
Home County.

Col. NJ. L. Grimes of Rice county was
here yesterday from Lyons. He had ac-
companied the real estate mems excur-
sion over the Frisco on the Oklahoma
excursion. He is enthusiastic over the
new country but says that Kansas Is
good enough for him. One thing Colonel
Grimes greatly complains of is the fact
that the loan business, in which he has
been engaged for years past in Rice coun-
~ and central Kansas seems almost a
thing Of the past. The reason is that the
farmers of this locality no longer Dor
row money They don't have to. They
are as a class out Of debt and they have
ceased TO pay interest Colonel Grimes
has been for many years the COMPRESSION
