Third Vice-President Kimball, the old veteran of tho road, is to be laid on .tho shelf, and he, too, will be relegated to a position near tbe bottom of the ocean of oblivion. The story of his retirement read as follows: ' - ' A short time ago a prominent gentleman gentle-man residing outside of Omaha sent Mr. Ximball a request for a pass. The letter received no attention, not even an answer, although such a request re-quest had been previously answered with both promptness and pleasure. The gentleman who made the request was in the city recently and asked Mr. Kimball if lie had received a request from him for a pass. . Mr. Kimball answered that he had, but that all power to do anything more of the kind for his friends had been taken out of his hands, much as ho regretted re-gretted tho mortification which tho announcement an-nouncement occasioned him. Tho gentleman then asked Mr. Kimball Kim-ball why he had not at least answered his letter. To this, Mr. Kimball acknowledged or revealed another fact that went very mueh against his grain. It was that ho had found himsell under astonishingly close surveillance and was actually afraid even to answer tho letter. |
