STRANGE SCENE AT A OKAVE.
Drinking to tlio "Honlth" of the Corpsu ns
the Clods Kuttlo on HIP Coffin.
"Can a feller buy a stack of blues inhere
hero today ? "
"Not today , pardnor. "
"What's the mattorV"
"Well , Joe Simmons is being burled
today and the house is closed until after
his funeral. "
"Who was Joe Simmons ? "
"How long have you boon in the
camp ? "
"Caino in on the afternoon train. "
"Thought so , Well , Joe Simmons wan
Jeff Smith's best friond. Tnis is Jeff's
house , and not a card will bo turned era
a drink sold until Joo's remains have
boon carefully planted. You can slide
up to the bar and gulp ono to Joe's
health beyond the range , but your money
don't go. "
The above conversation took plnco at
the Orleans club in Croodo , Colo. , says
the Chronicle of that city. The inquir
ing party was a miner fresh from Load-
villo. Tlio man who responded was the
barkeeper at the club.
After the drink the mixologist waxed
talkative. "I've known JolT Smith , "
ho said , "for a number of years , but I
never saw him knocked such a twister
as when ho found out that Joe had to
dio. Down in Texan , years ago , both on
'am was kids together. Tiioywqntto
nn old log school house and helped each
other to annoy the teacher and got a
little learning. Then they wont to
punchin' cows and worked for the same
outfit , afterwards grauuating into the
Toxus rangers. They run together ,
swore together , yes , and I guess , they
skinned many a sucker together , too ,
but they never gave a friend dirt.
"Well , Joe came into camp when ho
hears the boom is on nnd went to dealln'
for JolT. Ho finally got sick pneumo
nia and Friday night , a few mlnutos
before 12 o'clock , .loll gous up to his
room. Joe was dyin' and JolT Icnowod it
but bo tried to glvo him a stall ho was
looking nil right.
" 'Don't Ho to mo , Jeff , ' bays Joo. 'I
know I'm dyin' . My last chip will bo
cashed in very Boon and [ want to say
good bye to you. You won't have no
preaching at my Bond-off , will you ? No
good. Just lay mo out and wish mo
good health on the other side of the
range , if there is another sldo and any
health there. Good-byo , old pard , I'm
off. '
"Them was the Inwt words Joe spoke ,
and Jeff came down to the saloon and
cried like a baby. ITo says to mo ;
'Chick , the whitest man on earth just
died , ' and I knowod what lie meant.
Hut there goes the funeral procession. "
Joe Siintno'is ' was ono of the best
known gamblers in the west. Ho was
Smith's ' school day friend , nnd the last
wishes of his friend wore u sacred trust
to him. Accordingly , the funorulwhich
took place on Sunday , anil the uorvicea
at the grave wore , perhaps , the most
unique over witnessed. It is Roldom
that iiacchus is called upon to preside
ut the gr.ivo. Hut the sound ot the
popping champagne cork mingled with
the curses of the ore drivers as they
swung their leaders along the narrow
trail which passes beside ( Joil's aero , on

human being wore being consigned to

At 2 o'clock the funeral cortege loft
the undertaker's. A wagon containing
the deceased was in advance. Next fol
lowed the only hack in town , containing
Jell Smith , John Klnneavy , Hugh
Mpnan and a reporter. Wagons con
taining fifty friends of the departed fol
lowed.
A blinding snowstorm was in progress ,
but the horses plodded on up the stoop
hillside. When half way up the mourn
ers wore forced to got out and walk to
the herd , of the hill , as the horses could
n't stand the strain.
Finally the cemetery was reached.
Six mounds of earth ominously close to
gether marked it. A gaping oblong
hole had been dugbcstdo the last mound.
When the box had boon tukon from the
improvised hoarse it was lowered into
the grave. Every head was uncovered ,
and Jeff Smith , standing at the foot of
the grave , thus addressed the throng :
"Tho man whom wo have just laid to
rest was the best friend I over had. You
all know him. Did any of you over know
him to do a thing that wasn't square
with his friondbV No. I thought not.
Neither did I. The best wo can do now
is to wish him the best there is in the
land beyond the range , or the hereafter ,
if there is any hereafter. Joe didn't
think there was , and I don't know
anything about it. Friends , I
ain't much of a speaker , but .Too was my
friend and all ho wanted was for us to
gather at his grave and drink his health
when lie was gone. Let us do it. '
Twelve bottles of Pommory wore then
opened and each of the assemblage took
his glasa in hand while Smith said :
"Hero's to the health of .Tod Simmons in
the hereafter. " The glasses wore
then drained. Then all joined hands
around the grave and snug "Auld Lang
Syne. "
It was a strange and weird sight.
The snow was falling in thick , heavy
clouds , and for n single moment the sun
came out above the crested cliffs and
glinted on the glasses , giving n now
bpnrklo to the wine that toasted tlio ob
sequies of tlio dead sport , Sorro.v for
the nonce was drowned by an offering to
Bacchus.
The dirt was filled into the grave and
the cortege returned to town. In a few
moments they wore busy again with
cards and chips , and the Orleans club
opened for business.

Chicago Tribune : "There are many
ways for a storekeeper to lose money , "
said a cigar dealer the other day. "but I
think tbo most aggravating thing is to

"That's queer. What do you inoauV"
"If you've over loaned money to n

.bo republicans of the stato.
The second ballot was announced as
Thompson 48 , Mercer 45. Thompson was declared -
clarod elected as tbo second delegate.
There were loud calls for the successful
candidates and Judge Scott responded. He
bald ho proposed to stay with the ether dele
gates from Nebraska nnd the ether states of
tbo union until tbo renomlnation of President
Harrison was assured. He declared with
Intense emphasis that bo would stand by
every candidate nominated on a republican
ticket , from president dowa to constable , and
thought that when ho failed to do so It would
bo time to dig a hole and put him under
ground , as bo would not bo fit to longer livo.
Mr. Thompson was also induced Vo separ
ata himself from the Ihrong for a few seconds
ends to announce that bo favored the renoml
nation of President Harrison. Ho was a
Httlo inoro particular whom ho supported
than was Colonel Scoll and drew the line at
all good citizens who would make good of-
Uclals and who wore representative men.

selves la favor ot Harrison.
Slmoral renewed bis motion and It carried
unanimously.
A motion to adjourn mot with no opposi
tion and the ninety-six delegates drifted
blithely out into the glad sunshine.
Convent Ion Afterthought ft.
Union Pacific boodle was very ofllclont in
turning tbo country delegations m favor of
Webster.
Cadet Tavlor , wbo Is an anything-to-beat-
Harrison man on tbo sly , played his part
very well.
Webster and Great Scott made the tie-up
with the Tammany gang and they are entitled -
titled to all tbo glory.
Tom Klmball's Italian hand and Tours-
ton's tinker murks were plainly visible iu tbo
underhanded work by which tbo republicans
of Douglas county have boon foiled and
thwarted from an untrammeled expression ,
In view of the fact that Gurloy insisted
thai the expression of the convention was
not to bo regarded as an instruction It remains -
mains to bo seen what construction the delegates -
gates will put upon a preference expressed
by a majority of two votot , with at least fif
teen delegates paid to turn over.
Great Scott pledged his sacred honor to
support every republican candidate from
president to constable henceforth and for
ever. What tbo colonel would do if John
Hush or John B , Furay were candidates ou
tbo republican ticket is problematic , but a
man ot Scott's banUcrinit after honors or
notoriety seldom Intends to Ueop any pledge.
G. W. Whltmore of Valley parted with
the convention a wiser , but a sadder man ,
Ho traded himself and hi * delegation to the
Tammany gang on the promise that he would
be tent to Minneapolis , but they could not
deliver tbo goods to him and Great Scott on
the same platter. So ho full in the ditch ,
once more a victim to bit own treacherous
ambition ,
