Omaha, July 19- The Live Stock; exchange held a meeting early today at which a. committee was appointed' to draft suitable resolutions on the death of President Paxton. The Union Stock Yards National bank, of "which Mr. Paxton was president, was closed today and the exchange building- was draped in mourning. Flags on the city hall and other buildings were at half mast.

Thefuneral probably jwill occur Saturday afternoon. Mr. Paxton was known as "the grand old man" of Omaha. With his simple tastes, his unaffected, unpretentious ways and his great warm heart he has laid hold upon and won the af fections of hosts of "all sorts and conditions" of men. And by his public spirit and his business sagacity he made all Omaha his debtpr.

He was one of the wealthy men of the west whose tastes, habits and associations had been little changed by his riches. Back in the days when he was a "freighter' between Omaha and Denver and when he was working in a livery stable at $20 a month he smoked a corncob pipe and he clung to his corncob pipe almost to the day of his death. Whether on the street, in his office or at his luxurious home, he always had his corn cob pipe. No Warning of End. Death came very suddenly while he was sitting on his porch with Mrs.

Paxton and his two nieces, Misses Mattie and Ida Sharp, chatting and in the best of spirits. He had just handed each of the women a piece of chewing gum, saying Jocularly, "This is on me." He then threw up his arms, sank back into his chair and expired. The women did not realize for the moment Just what had happened. His head gradually inclined forward, and, not replying when they spoke to him, the women in an instant realized that he was dead. He had expired very peacefully and without the slightest struggle.

Dr. Riley, the attending physician, Drs, Henry, Hoffman and Gllmore were at once summoned and hurriedly arrived on the scene. It was soon discovered that his death was instantaneous. His only son, Paxtori, now at Keystone, was immediately summoned by telegraph. Mr.

Paxton had been in feeble health for about two years, and had been especially weajc for the last week Or two. He was down town for the last time Wednesday after- noon, and then complained of being extremely weak. For the last week or two he haa spent the early part of the evenings on the porch of his residence and was always glad to meet and visit with his friends there. Last he went to Texas, hoping the milder climate benefit his health, but it did not and he returned," being somewhat better for a time. W.
