slept in his chair until 6:30 Monday
morning, and hs was troubled by cough
ing and cxpectoration. The Generals
condition improved toward the after
noon, the secretion of mucus having
diminished. He sat in the sunlight for
some time, and slept two hours in the
evening, having previously walked for
exercise from room to room. At 10 p.
M. he took nourishment, and said he
was free from pain. When the General

have Il good night. AT 1:30 o'clock the
next morning he was resting quietly,
and the house was in darkness.

Oregon, after about six months con-

entire recovery. In a couple of weeks
he will probably be returned to his
home. He used to live on huge and
productive wheat farm on the William
ettt, and on several occasions when his
neIgh6ors were in distress through loss
of their crops, he invited them to come
and fill their wagons at his ovetfiowing
granaries without money and without
price.
