 The closing of the earthly career of this splendid citizen and his prom irent position among those who en- tered the Territory in the darkest days of its history. revived his past life in all of its upright snd honor able dealings for nearly half . cen tury, and brought to the berssved ones the tender expressions of sym. pathy from many friends and se' qusintances.
 Ms. Alexander was universally re. earded as s man of ennobling traits, and during his long years had en' joycd the good will of all. His death is doubly regretted for the reason that the old column of his day is passing fast into memory, and will soon disappear.
 The only relatives present yester day were his sons, James and, Johp Alexander, which was due 10 eireum stances that were unavoidable.
