DEATH OF DIR. KEEN.
Il c Sinks in his Seat in the House and
Dies in Harness.
From the DanuilLe Register


The city of Danville was shocked
beyond expression yesterday when the
news was bulletined that DR.. Thomas
w. Keen had died suddenly in the
legislature. The Doctor had Just fin
ished a speech on the question Of free
books in the public schools, when he
sank into his seat and expired without
a word. For long time, he had been
troubled with heart disease, and his
death no doubt resulted from an at
tack brought on from over-exertion.
DR.. Thomas William Keen, son of
Ashford and Elizabeth Keen, was born
in Pittsylvania county September, 9Th,
1923. He was educated in the En-
glish branches at an academy in
Franklin county and graduated in
medicine from the University of Mary
land, when quite young man. In
1914 he went to Rockingham, n. c.,
and began the practice OF medicine,
but soon came to the front as a public
man and was elected to the legislature
in 1889. In the latter part of 40,
he was nominated for Congress, by
the Democrats of the Sixth congress
sional district, but was defeated by
three votes by Hon A. Ell. Sheppard,
his whig competitor. He was elector
on the Douglas ticket, and under Buch-
anan's administration was appointed
to the consulship at Dundee, Scotland,
but declined.
DR.. Keen was afterwards success
full manufacturer at Salisbury, and
was for several years mayor of that
town. Finally, however, he met with
some business disasters and in 1877
removed to Danville, where he engag-
ed for while in the tobacco business
at one time being connected with the
public warehouse and at another was
engaged in the manufacturing bust
ness with Mr.. W. w. Keen. Again,
however, fortune forsook him and he
resumed the practice of his profession
and was working up very good prac-
tice when he went to the legislature.
In 1883 he was elected to the legis-
lature as one of the Representatives OF
PittsyIvania and Danville and was
bold and fearless in defending this city
from the ISLANDERS of the Mahoncites
He was reelected last year to the same
position and was doing good work
at the time of his death.
He was married to Miss Aramints
Adams, in 1916. They had but two
children, both of whom have died
one daughter married Mr. Kennedy
whose daughter Miss Minnie, has liv
ed with her grandparents since she wa:
a little child.
DR.. Keen was man Of good sounC
sense, Of decided convictions, and non,
holder or more fearless in the expires
sion and support Of his convictions
He was man OF noble impulses and
scrupulously honest in meeting all 0
his obligations. He never forgot
friend and was always loyal and con
slant in his attachments.
As a physician, he was intelligen
and skillful, and his brother doctor
say he would have been second t
none, had he devoted himself exclu
siveiy 20 his profession. He was
man well yersed in political econom,
and matters OF state history. He wa
good speaker and ready debate
and his death, especially at this tim
is a sore loss to Danville. May tn
clods lie lightly on his coffin.

MAKING Els MARK.
BIZ EDWARD rAYsos HALL.

When Johnny Reb his brawny cross-mark
made
To Uncle Sans big parole, in days dark,
Sure Johnny Reb, as in all else he did,
Put his great heart into his honest mark.
And ever since the hero's sterling soul
Keeps making marks that rivet SANDERS

Outstrip cen foes while racing for the goal
Of proud prosperity. His new -hedged South
Scars sunward past the eagle and the lark,
And earthward casts j. Reb's o'ershadowing

THE SKIN,

This class of troublesome complaints en-
braces large list, some of which affiict nearly
every family in the land. Heretofore the
treatment of nearly all these diseases has been
very unsatisfactory and unsuccessful, and the
people have been very much deceived by pre-
tended remedies A majority caused by
an impure, vitiated condition of the blood, and
as most of the blood, remedies of the day
require so to 100 bottles before you discover
that they will not effect cure, we offer B. B.
B., which makes positive cures by the use of
only few bottles.
The most common of the skin diseases which
are cured by the use Of B. B. B., the only
quick Blood Purifier, are as follows;

SIDEWALKS.

The Mankato Pipe Co. are now takin,
orders for cement stone sidewalks fol
delivery next spring. The blocks O.
which the walk is composed are hex
agonal in shape, and can be made ofany
color desired. They are as durable az
stone and much cheaper, and are large.
ly in use in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be $l.75 pei
square yard laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by reason OF
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be suffi-
GENTLY hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be at least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk in the world should
send in their orders now.

The laying of new sidewalks seems
to be the leading industry in the way o.
improvements, just at present. Messrs
Jensen d Firestone have laid walk on
the Jackson street side of their carriage
works. K. ID. Hubbard and VIM. Reed
have built good substantial walks in front
of their respective residences on Broad
street. and it is presumed that Alder.
man Waters will follow suit. There
are a number of others either repairing
or building new walks. There is no one
thing about Il city which bespeaks more
for the pride of its citizens than good
sidewalks, and it is feature that has
heretofore failed to receive proper at
tention in Mankato.
