DROPS DEAD.
ELI Tussler Fails a Victim to ApOpIexy
at sidney.

Last evenings train from the east con
tanned Senator Stanford's private car,
which was occupied by the senator and his
party, who are now on their way to Their
home in California Knowing this fact,
as the train neared Sidney, Mr.. Eli
Tussler thought he would call pom the
senator, having known him years before,
or in early days. MI. Tussler is a large
man, Of about IS years of age, and had to
exert himself in order to reach the train.
He boarded the train as it was in motion,
shook hands with the senator, had a short
conversation in regard to matters, and was
just going to leave. He turned around to
shake hands with the senator, and by this
time the train was running at a rate of
about five miles per hour. In order TO
get off the train MI. Tussler had to exert
himself considerably, and just as he was
about to step from the train he fell back
wards upon the platform unconscious. He
was Immediately taken to the rear section
of the last sleeper, and everything posi-
BILE was done for him.
There were two doctors on the train,
and they were Immediately summoned and
everything possible was done for him.
The monster death had stamped the seal
upon him, and he died in about fifteen
minutes of apoplexy, being unconscious
the entire time. The people occupying
the sleepers did all in their power for the
unconscious man, and the doctors added
their skill, but with no success. He was
dead before the train reached Potter,
Neb., and Superintendent Deuel., who was
a passenger, had the body removed at
that place, and telegraphed for a special
ear to return the body to his home in Sid
ney.
He was a very ieshy man, weighing in
the vicinity of 800 pounds, and has been
troubled with the heart disease for some
time. The first words uttered by him as
he reached the train at Sidney, Il have
walked too fast and feel weak" Shortly
after this he fell backwards and shortly
afterwards expired.
Mr.. Tussler was well and favorably
known in Cheyenne and vicinity, being a
member of the Wyoming Stock Growers
association, and having attended the last
meeting of the association, held in this
city a few weeks since. He was largely
interested in the cattle business, having a
large ranch, well stocked with cattle, near
Sidney. He was also interested largely in
the cattle business in Montana, being a
brother of H. Tussler, of Miles City.

On April I he and his wife registered in
this city at the Railroad house, and he
was then enjoying excellent health as far
as external appearances were concerned.
but was even then affected in the region
of the heart, complaining Of it frequently
during his stay here. He was very wealthy
and has many acquaintance in the city,
all of whom speak in the highest praise of
him as a man, a friend and gentleman.

Our people retain an abiding faith in
our public school system and take a great
interest in everything pertaining to it.
The annual school meeting, next Monday.
has been the general topic of conversation
here for several days past, and it is good
sign that so many of our leading citizens
are taking a proper interest in school mat
ters. There is undoubtedly a general
belief prevailing in this community that
certain measures of reform are necessary
for the continued healthy condition of our
public schools. To secure these reforms,
it is necessary to elect two judicious, pro-
gressiye, wide awake citizens as school
trustees, who have, above all, the welfare
of the public schools at heart. Such two
men have after a long search been found.
At least two gentlemen of the proper
qualifications have consented to become
candidates for school trustees at the an
nual meeting next Monday. They are
Messrs. J. c. Baird and Walter c. Brown,
both well known enterprising citizens,
property holders and heads of families,
whose past record guarantees the proper
administration of any official duties hat
may be assigned to them by their fellow
citizens,
We trust that it may please the voters
of the school district to elect the gentle
men named to the vacancies on the school
board about to occur. We need young,
energetic men to assist the remaining
members of the board in the rightful man
agemont of school matters, and as the op-
portunity now offers to get the proper
talent, it should not be neglected. Vote
for Baird and Brown for school trustees.

Not a Beggar.

"Geutlemen," be began in smooth,
molasses sort of voice, II am dead broke
but no beggar. I want to raise about
three dollars, but Ishal do it in legiti-
mate manner. Now, then, let me ask
you to'inspect this"
He took from his pocket piece of iron
chain as large as his thumb and contain.
ing six links, and passed it around. At
ter it had carefully been inspected by
each of the party he continued:
"I want to bet my overcoat, which is
certainly worth $40, against So in cash
that none of you can separate one INK
from the Others" !,
The piece of chain was passed around
again to be more closely scrutinized, and
finally one of the party, who was ma
chinist, returned it with the remark !:
"And I want to put up that amount
apainst YOUR overcoat that you can't do it
yourself" ~,
"Done /" said the stranger, as he pulled
of his coat.
Coat and cash were put in the hands of
a stakeholder, and the stranger asked the
crowd to follow him. He walked across
the street and into blacksmith shop, and
picking up hammer and cold.chisel, he
deliberately cut out q link. The crowd
stood around like so many pumpkins at
a county fair, but when the stranger held
up the link aud claimed the stakes the
machinist recovered his wits sufficiently
to exclaim:
"sold by a professional deadbeat! The
money is yours, old fellow, but in exactly
thirty seconds after you receive it shall
begin to kick, and you had better be
twenty rods off"
"Thanks-glad to have met you-good
day |" replied the strangel and be WAS
ont of sight IN seven seconds.

The Greatest Evil Of this Nation.

Drunkenness is the greatest evil OF
this nation, and it takes no logical pro.
cess to prove that drunken nation can
not long be free nation. call your
attention to the fact that drunkenness is
not at standstill but that it is on an
onward march and it is double quick.
There is more rum allowed in this coun.
try, and of worse kind, than was ever
allowed since the first distillery began its
work of death. Where there was one
drunken home there are ten drunken
homes. Where there was one drunkard's
grave there are twenty drunkards' graves.
According to the United States Govern
ment figures, in 1910 there we're 23,000,-
900 gallons Of beer sold. Last year there
were 551 100000 gallons. According to
the governmental figures, in the year
1870, there were 5000, 900 gallons of wine
sold. Last year there were 25,OOO,O00
gallons of wine. It is on the increase.
talk about crooked whiskey-by which
men mean the whiskey That does not pay
tax to the government. tell you all
strong drink is crooked. Crooked otard,
crooked cognac. crooked schnapps, crook
ed beer, crooked wine, crooked whiskey,
because it makes mans path crooked,
and his life crooked, and his death crook.
ed, and his eternity crooked. If could
gather all the armies of dead drunkards,
and have them come to resurrection, and
then add to that all the armies of living

ride that horse until he dropped from ex-
haustion, and you would mount another
horse and ride until he fell from exhaust.
ion, and you would take another and
another and you would ride along hour
after hour and day after day. Great
hosts, in regiments, in brigades; great
armies of them; and then if you had
voice enough stentorian to make them oil
hear, and you could give the command,
"Forward.- march !" their first tramp
would make the earth tremble. I do not
care which way you look in community
to. day, the evil is increasing. l call your
attention to the fact that there are thou
sands of people born with thirst for
strong drink-s FACT too often ignored.
Along some ancestral lines there runs the
river Of temptation. There are children
whose swaddling clothes are torn off the
shroud of death. Many father has
made will of this sort: "In the name
of God, amen. I bequeath to my chill.
dren my houses and lands and estates,
share and share shall they alike. Hereto
/ afix my hand and seal in the presence
of witnesses" And yet, perhaps, that
very man has made another will that the
people have never read and that has
never been proved in the courts: That
will, put in writing, would read some.
thing like this: "In the name of disease
and appetite and death, amen. bequeath
to my children my evil habits, my tank.
ards shall be theirs, my winecup shall be
theirs, my destroyed reputation shall be
theirs. Share and share alike shall they
in the infamy. Hereto / affix my hand
and seal in the presence of all the ap'
plauding harpies of hell."-Dr. Iasmage,

aud slways will. Money controls us all,
whether we know it or not. Money is
the lover of Archimedes and the negro
will never have it because he does not
want it. 1t is not his nature to accumu-
late. He lives and tolls for his present
good. A few do acquire property, but
only a few, and that proves the rule by
the exception. He cannot accumulate
if he would, because he has no fitness for
the arts and the tricks of trade by which
most of our race get rich. The negro
rarely cheats or deceives any one in a
trade. He is frank and open and does
not know how to plot fraud or conceal
it. I'm all this l admire him, for he is
unlike the white man. Solomon says "a
lie sticketh close on the joints between
the buyer and the seller" but he meant
it for the Jew, and it is true of the Cen
tile, but not of the negro. The negro
will steal, for that is an instinct of his
race and he cannot help it, but he will
not steal much. His inclination that
way is limited but when white man
steals, the more he gets the better satis-
fed be is.
Well, races are races, and we must
study them. This study will teach us
that the African, the black negro, was
by nature aud natures God created and
fitted lor labor rather than for college or
the theatre or the fine arts. But let the
experiment of high education go on.
Let ue try it for another twenty years,
and perhaps the problem will be solved.
In the meantime let Mr.. Gable possess
his sorIl-in patience, and I hope the New
York Tribune will learn in due time why
it was that one million of the nations
wards failed to vote for Blaine in the
last election. The editor of that Pacific
Journal has put that conundrum at us
very frequently of late and seems impa.
tient for an answer. Well, we give it up.
Why don't be ask the wards? As the
Scriptures say, "He is of age, ask him"
/ told John Thomas the other clay that
one of his Yankee friends up North
wanted to know why he dident vote for
Blaine, and he stopped short and looked
surprised, and said SWELL, boss, what's
he got TO do wild it?" And then / asked
another darkey, and he said, "Goshamityl
boss, I didn't know be was a runnin'."

achievements-such a reader, we say,
who knows not of these memorable and
glorious representatives of the Colonna
must be content to remain in ignorance,
which is hardly bliss. The heir of the
Colonna family is, therefore, at twenty
seven years of age, to wed the daughter
of the poor doctor who fell by the way
side in Nevada, and sleeps his last sleep
in that stony desert. The proudest noble
of the whole of Europe, with one of the
mightiest genealogical records, is to wed
the adopted daughter of John Mackay,
about quarter of century since COM
mon or rather uncommon miner, once
poor as the traditional church mouse
and now phenomenally rich like one Of
Jules Verne's heroes stepping from the
covers of his most improbable romance.
By Jove it is the most extraordinary
fact of modern society and perhaps the
most curious example of the happening
of the improbable since the son Of q
Corsican attorney became Emperor of
France and conqueror of Kings.
Let us hope that Mrs. Mackay may
not, with her honest lord and excellent
daughter, land on financial st. Helena
after some speculative Waterloo. Such
a contingency and finale would appear
to be impossible; but when one remem.
bers what Grant was and what he is now,
it is rash to try predictions based on sub.
lunary dispensations. At present, the
Mackay star is in the ascendant. True
the Comstock Lode is played out and the
mines are filled with water. True the
Digger Indians threaten to make Nevada
the burlesgue of a State. True riches
often take unto themselves wings and
fly away. But, in all human probability.
the present generation OF Mackays will
continue to flourish on earth, die in regal
paraphernalia and be gratefully remem-
bered after death in cathedral aisles.
And some day, very remote, when the
Italian chronicler has occasion to record
some singular phase in the history of his
native land, not the least glorious an.
nouncement may be that princely de-
scendant of Mrs. Macllay's daughter was
worthy of the great Admiral who beat
back the Ottoman power on the SEQ, the
noted Pontif who gavs new lustre to art,
the stern patrician who lowered the pride
of Riezzi, and the angel of beauty and
genius whose name shall live with that
of Angelo "while there's an echo left to
air."-Chronicle and Constitutionalist

Heathenism in North Carolina.

A young lady of this place who has
been teaching school in neighborhood
in the Eastern portion of the county,
returned home last week, when she
learned for the first time that Cleveland
was elected President. The head of the
family with which she boarded took no
paper, none of his neighbors took any,
and it was currently reported that Blaine
MAS elected and everybody believed it.
We have been in the habit of contribut.
ing something every year for the purpose
of sending the gospel to the heathens,
but we are now considering whether it
would not be better for US 10 appropriate
what we have to give next year to send
the light to some of the darkened por.
tions of Union County. They undoubt-
edly need it.-lionroe Enquirer.
