The news of the death Of Hon. Dudley c.
Haskell, telegraphed from Washington
this morning, was received here with pro-
found sorrow and a general feeling that
the State has Sustained the greatest public

several years been recognized as a man of
conspicuous ability and the ablest Repre-
sentative that Kansas has ever had in. the
councils of the Nation. Mr.. Haskell has
not been prominent in public affairs for
many years, having been engaged in mer-
camille pursuits in Lawrence during the
greater part Of his residence in the State.
He was chosen as a member of the Legisla-
ture from Douglas County in 1871, and was
elected Speaker of that body. It was here
that he gave evidence of the possession of

where he has served with credit and dis
tinction. He has been a sufferer for sew
eral years with kidney trouble and nervous
proStration, and his difficulties were great
Iy increased by overwork during the last
session of Congress, his ambition leading
him to greater exertion than his physical
condition warranted. He was a man of
only ordinary means and his loss will fall
heavily upon his family.
