formation seemed exhaustless' 1t
was pitfful that his finer attachments
we're mixed with gross elements,
which would at times crop forth,
especially as he more and more freq
uently gave way to debauches at the
bowl. But at each recovery from
these his cultivated brain was as
brilliant as ever and as he wormed
his way back to his particular
friends, for time, it was to them as
return, thirsty, to some delightful
spring where the ferns and moses
ever hourished in richest greenery
and delighted the senses Alas | poor
Horace he was gifted with qualities
and mental genius not possessed by
one in thousand, and at the same
time cursed by unkind destiny with
with unjust, fatal defects which
blighted their power and rendered his
life, in the greater part, a failure,
though we may not dare to say how
far the reflection of his self neglected
powers has reached, or what monu
ments to the inspiration of his active
days, unrecognized, exist in western
civilization. Though he carried SEINE
frailties and faults, which are buried
with him, it is but few who go and
leave behind, as he does, those who
miss the brilliant spark which lit his
inner soul, and, shining like the
stars, could shed radiance which it
was an Intoxicating charm to bask in.

rather than life of force and action,
caused him to neglect his advantages.
His fine brain threw out its infu-
ence, however, in various ways,
through the press in the early days OF
the Omaha Herald, and otherwise,
and made him the close companion OF
many of the most prominent men OF
the west in that day, or men who
have since risen to prominence. Ed
itors, railway promoters, empire
builders-men who have since become
celebrated in the business and finan-
cial world-formed his circle and
we're his daily companions, and all of
them who are now alive hold for him
the warm affection which Horace
Newman inspired in all who possessed
the ability to draw out his best, and
to appreciate it. He progressed we'll
up in railrnoad circles and during his
time has held responsible positions
with the Union Pacific and other rail
roads and many miles of that COM
pany's lines have been built upon his
report of the tributary resources.
But in the respect where nature
had played him false and weakened
his strength of character, he proved
wanting, and as he became addicted
to faults which strengthened his weak
spots and weakened his strength to
overcome them, he became unreli-
able, and, more than likely, -rfaith-
full to trusts imposed upon him, and
he began TO go down hill in everywsy.
At frequent intervals old associ-
ates and admirers sought to lift him /
again into the way of advancement !
and accomplishment, bat to no avail : |
he became thoroughly unreliable
and would betray his responsible
ties. Weakened in character, he
grew, in later years, so intirm in
steadfast elements that he seemed
sometimes to deliberately play false TO
his friends and recklessly trample
upon important or light responsibili-
ties reposed on him-then weep
genuine tears of remorae.
His life as an express rider
brought him into those intimacies
with nature, at an impressionable pc
riod in his life, which, with all nat
ures like his, serve to intensity any
inherent poetry of the soul, and had
much to do with forming his rhythm
ical mind. He read widely, he OBJ
served, he had wandered through the
Intoxicating mazes of the best liter !
ature, and such was his wonderful !
strength of memory that he scarcely
ever failed to retain the best of what
his mind consumed, and he became
almost walking encyclopedias and
it was the charm his closer associates
experienced in the social output from
this wonderful storehouse of fragrant
intellectual exhileration that drew
them to him so strongly that they
forgave his faults and recreancies.

FAIR SURPLUS SMALL.
Current 4ccounts VII Consume
Most of the $1,000. 900 in Hand.

St Louis. Dec. While it will be Impossible to
obtain the actual receipts and expenditures o. the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company before
the middle of December Secretary Walter B.
Stevens Of the Worlds Fair made the following
statement to The Associated Press tonight:
From reports that have been submitted Of the
admissions the grounds up 10 O clock tonight
we estimate that the attendance on Francis Day
will be a few thousands In excess OF Ap,pH. anu
that the attendance for the exposition period Will
be in the neighborhOOd of BSJ0OV.
In round numbers the exposition company has
expended S22,GJo00o since the inception OF the
Worlds Fair project. and the expenditures of the
several States and Territories have reached total
Of 100000 The receipts since the opening day,
April 80 have amounted to about S10000OO CON
ssting OF admissions and concession royalties.
While it is impossible to state exactly the hnan-
cial condition of the exposition company on this.
the closing day, II be autbOritatiVey ANNOUNCED
that all debts against the company have been paid
with the exception of few current accounts such
as salaries, etc. and these will. il is thought
consume nearly all the surplus. that there will
only be Il very small amount left for the stock
holders.
From the amount of royalties collected by the
exposition company ii is estimated that the con-
ceSsionaires of the Pike and other parts of the
Worlds Fair grounds have taken in at least
