Little Joe Gilmore, the adopted SOL
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.. Gilmore, dice
Tuesday morning after an illness of e
few weeks. with tuberculosis of the
stomach and bowels. He was not quite
eight years old and was an exception
ally bright boy favorite with all who
knew him. His death will be greatly
felt by Mr.. and Mrs. Gilmore who
were as devoted to him as though he
had been their ewn flesh and blood. The
funeral took place on Tuesday after
noon and was attended by a large
concourse of sympathizing friends of
the bereaved couple.
There was a meeting of the terri
torial loan commission yesterday
mainly for the purpose of receiving
an application from the Bank of
Prescott for the changing of thirty five
territorial six per cent. funding bonds
for five per cents. The bonds bear
the date of Jan. 10, 1888 and are OF
81, 900 each. They and the accrued
interest now amount to s36, $50. The
query that suggests itself in reading
the above is where is the bank of Pres
colt located. Prescott has three banks
but the bank of Prescott is not among
the number.
Zibs o. Brown reports that on his
return trip from the east, when pass
ing through Hutchinson, Kansas, he
saw men wading through water in the
streets, up above their knees, going
to their place of business. While
recent rains have dope some damage
to crops in the state he says that the
average of the wheat and corn crop
for the state will be good. Where the
crops were not damaged by floods
they are simply enormous. He says
that half the crop might be destroy
ed and still the aggregate for the
state would be large.
