Sudden Death of Republican
Member Of the House
of Heart Disease.
Hon. Robert Il. Logan, of White
side County, Falls Dead
in the ROtund& Of the
House.
: DEATH OF ROBERT L. LOGAN.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, February 20
While the members were gathering
in the House a few minutes before 10
o'clock this morning, a man rushed in
and called for doctor. Representa-
tive Kerr, of Springfield, hurried out,
and in the retunda found Representa-
tive Robert e. Logan, of Whiteside
county, sitting in a chair gaspiug and
dying. Mr.. Logan was carried on a
mattress to a committee room.
where DR.. Kerr, who had been joined
by Representatives Hanna and Mile
ham, also physicians, applied spirits
Of ether, but the dying man had not
the strength to iuhale, and in three
minutes after DR.. Kerr reached him,
his spirit had fed. Death was caused
by heart disease, from which he had
long been a sufferer. Mr.. Logan
drove from his lodgings VITA his son
James, and was met at the State
House by Wilbur Smith, colored
ianitor, who had been waiting upon
him. He said he felt well, and when
Smith told him the elevator was not
running, as the engine had broken
down, he proceeded to climb the four
long flights of stairs, Smith carrying
chair, in which Mr.. Logan rested at
each landing. At the third landing
he sat in the chair and said, "I'm
fainting." Those were his last words.
He was carried up the remaining
fight to the retunda. The exertion of
climbing and the terrible test Of the
execrably- ventilated building were
fatal.
Interse excitement prevailed when
the news spread. The Chaplain of
the House referred to the occurrence in
his prayer, and Immediately after Mr..
Mcdonald made formal announce
ment, and the House took a recess for
half an hour, which subsequently was
prolonged until the joint assembly.
The Senate also took a recess.
When the first thrill of the mourn
full occurrence was over, speculation
began regarding the
POLITICAL EFFECT
of Mr. Logan's death, Tt gives the
democrats a majority Of two in the
House and one in the joint assembly,
and deprives Haines OF the balance
of power. The steering committees
of the democrats would not enter into
an agreement TO adjourn both houses
until next week, claiming THAI the
law requires that the two houses shall
meet and ballot each day. Il was
finally agreed batween the steering
committees of the two parties that
each of them should have a committee
present, and that tho two houses
should hold nominal session and
take nominal ballot next Tuesday,
so as to comply with the letter of the
law. Nearly all the members intend
going home, and only the members of
this committee will remain.

A New Orleans doctor calls atten-
ton to a very simple fact which merits
attention from medicine takers. II
the medicine is mixed with very cold
water, and a few swallows of the
water be taken as preparatory dose,
the nerves Of the organ Of taste become
sufficiently benumbed to make the
medicine nearly tasteless. The method
will not disguise bitter tastes, but
acts well in oils and salines.

and determined have been the efforts
put forth by the Republicans to defeat
him in his own district, the greater have
been the majorities by which he has
been returned to his seat in the House.
He is a man who works while his ene-
mics sleep, and self-educated as he has
been in the school of craftsmanship, he
stands to-day without peer in his
knowledge of our national needs, our
commercial resources and the legis-
lation requisite to regulate and develop
them. He was as brave soldier as
eyer drew sword in the cause of the
Union, and the extreme modesty that
has characterized his career since his
retirement from military service, when
ever alluslon is made to his brilliant
services in the field, show him to have
been a true soldier and an exceptionally
sensible man. Would that the country
had more Col. Morlisons and fewer OF
those who live on the capital acquired
by a very questionable military record.

The spring Elections.

On next Tuesday the local elections
will take place in all townships and
borougbs. The most important of.
fees to he filed in the borough will
be assessor. school directors and coun
cilmen. In the township the most
wsighty Office is that of supervisor.
The choice of efficient election officers
is alike important in boroughs and
townships 1t is the duty and privil-
ege of all voters to see to it, that good
men will be put into these places
men for whom they need not be a.
shsmed to vote. There are plenty OF
suitable men and all that is necessary
is to look around and make your Sc
lections carefully and intelligently.
Just in these small local campaigns it
is where "the Office must hunt the
man." But you can help along in the
job and when you have made pick
sustain your choice by full vote.

Vanderbilt and Mrs. Grant of the
swords, metals, bronzes, paintings and
other articles Of value pre-
sented to General Ulysses S. Grant by
the various governments of the world
as tokens of appreciation of his iluStri-
ious character as soldier and states
man. The resolution expresses the
thanks of Congress to Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Grant, and provides that the
articles be placed in the charge of the
Librarian of Congress. the Secretary of

III less than four weeks President
Cleveland will enter the White House
ss the first democratic president in
twenty-four years. For the last few
weeks he had interviews and consulta-
tions with the most prominent men
and leaders of his party, no doubt for
the purpose of hearing their opinions
and advices on the vital questions ofthe
great change. Cleveland is in no en-
vious position. After the republican
party has corrupted theadministrati on
in nearly all its branches, it becomes
the task of the democratic party, with
Cleveland as their leader to clense ev.
erything from its corruptness. For
such gigantic job the brains and en-
ergy ofable and experienced states
men are required and Cleveland no
doubt will make it main point to
sur round himself with such. At any
rate we believe that Cleveland will be
able to make himself master of the sit
uation.
