LONGFELL0W DEAD.
The Sudden Demise of Another of
Americas True Poets.
"There Is a Reaper Whose Name Is
Death"
Tho Poet LonErelIow Dead.

Boston, Mass, March 24.-Saturday
last Longfellow was out part of the
afternoon walking upon the piazza, and
upon going into the house complained
of being slightly cold. At dinner he was
suddenly taken i'll, and soon after went
to his room and in a short time had a
violent attack Of vertigo. Sunday he
complained Of severe pains in the
stomach, and opiates were admins
tered to allay the trouble and induce
sleep. His condition seemed somewhat
improved until Monday when danger
u symptoms became manifest and the
family were seriously alarmed. Tues
day morning these symptoms assumed
an aggravated form and 1t became evil
dent that death was neal Wednesday
and Thursday, however, there was a
slight improvement and a disposition to
sleep almost continually. During the
afternoon and evening of Thursday he
talked a great deal upon various topics
and seemed to recover a large portion
of his usual bright and cheerful DISPOSE
ton. Later In the night he became
partially unconscious and restless. This
morning he revived, though his talk
was somewhat incoherent. This on
dition continued till about an hour be-
fore death when he again became un-
conscious and SO continued until the
last, a little past three O'Clock, suffering
but little pain apparently. The imme-
date cause Of death was %peritonitis.
All the family were present at the time.
Boston, March 24.-Henry W. Long
fellow the poet is in a dying condition.
Boston, March 24.-Longfellow is
dead.
1.-Two very brief dispatches, but they
are burdened with a mountaineering.
For some time past the inirmaties Il
approaching age have been placing
their imprint upon the frame Of one of
the simplest and purest of poets, a
painstaking author and a noble man.
Yet the few words of these dispatches
will convey a surprised pang of regret
to thousands of the poets friends. The
poet was born in Portland, Maine, on
the 9th day of February, 1907, and
was hence a few weeks over rs years in
his life's journey. His father was
Stephen Longfellow, an eminent mem
Der of the Maine bar. He entered the
Bowdoin college at the age of fourteen
years, and graduated in 1925. His
"Moravian Nuns" esprit of Poetry"
''Sunrise on the Hills" and the
"Woods in Winter" were produced
during his Bowdoin course. From the
time Of his graduation, beginning dur
ing a protracted residence abroad, until
the time of his death, his was IN active
literary life, and while his form lies in
the bosom of mother earth his songs
will echo through the heart chainbursts
of generations of mortals yet to come,
to solace comfort and gladden.-ED.

Affairs at Laramie City are quieting
down. Tue authors Of the various fires
are yet uncaught. Patrolmen still pace
the streets under arms and it is unsafe

natural causes by which to explain the
peculiar succession of fires in absence
of the perpetrators. The excitement
has resulted in clearing the city of
tIamps, however.

We regret having to chronicle the death
of this most promising young man. He
died on Thursday last, after less than three
days confinement to his bed, from hemeturic
fever. The announcement Of his death was
great shock to his many friends, but few
of whom knew that he was III. His fune-
raj took place from St Andrews church on
Friday afternoon and was largely attend
ed. The Capital Light Guards, of which
be was jealous member, was represented
by the regulation detachment. Willie
Pierce had been employed for several years
in the Office of Swamp Land Commissioner,
and had acquired familiarity with land
matters that promised to be of great benefit
to him and to the State in coming years.
He was a most dutiful son aud devoted
brother, kind-hearted, generous, well-dis-
posed youth, and his sudden death is great
" Iamented.

THn oaLzsBY-sraMAN CASE.

EDIToRs CLAaIoS: The view you take
Of the decision ofour supreme Cours in the
case of Oglesby " sigman as applicable 10
the Chalmer+Manning matter Is, clearly
right
5 il 0glesby vs.. Sigman the attempt was
u compel the county commissioners to re-
assemble and render new judgment They
had decided that certain tickets cast for
Lynch were in accordance with the Statute,
and had counted them for him. TIE SUI
preme Court was asked to compel them, by
mandamus, to re-assemble and rsuerss their
previous judgment. The Court responded
that this could not be done; that their
Judgment once rendered was final. Mani
testify this was right, for if they could re-as-
semble and entera new judgment once, they
could do it indefinitely and there would
never be fnality.
In the Tats county matter the commits
sioners on learning of tie accidental COM
mission By their clerk, by purely clerical
error, Immediately rs-assembled, of their
own motion. and corrected it. In 50 doing
they did not reconsider or reverse their
former judgment, but simply wrote out that
judgment correctly, and obviated the i'll
effects Of slip Of the pen on the part of
their clerk To say that they could not do
this leads TO the most absurd results. 1t
is admitted by all that the Secretary of
State cannot correct mistakes in the returns
made to him. IF then the commissioners
Of a county meet ON the 10th day after the
election to make their canvass of the vote
cast in the county, and, in so doing, make a
plain mistake in adding up column of
figures, or in giving the date of the election,
or fail to sign their names to the certificate,
such mistake is incurable though discovered
the next morning and apparent to every
man in the State They must forward the
returns as written because the 10 days are
out The Secretary of State must count
them, as written. The courts, is is said,
have no power, by mandamus, to compel a
correction. The wrong man gets the certi6-
cate of election, enters upon the Office and
can only be elected by contested election
or a quo aoarranto proceeding which may
last two years, and, in the meantime, the
term of Office has expired. The people are
defrauded of their choice. The man who
was defeated gets all the honors, the power
and the salary, while the man who was
elected has been engaged in trying to get a
column of figures added correctly. or the
name ''Chambless" corrected to " Chalmers, .
or the name "Mannering" to Manning" II
Certainly our Supreme Court never an
nounced any such nonsense as that. To
quote the language af an old lawyer friend
"The law isn't that big fool"
COMMON SENSE.
