MINNEAPOLIS,
JUDGE Won sCHLEGEn DEAD.
His Demise Occurred at 1880
Yesterday Morning.

Judge Frederick Won Schegell, of the
probate court, who has been ill ever
since last November, quietly breatled
his last at 1880 yesterday morning.
Thursday afternoon he sank into deep
siumber from which he never aWoke,
his life slowly ebbing away, and the
brave battle for life which he had SuS-
tanned without murmur, and almost
without hope, ended in the last sleep
that knows no waking except IN the
world to come. From the first his ply
SicianS have given no encouragement'
pronouncing his malady a severe form
of cancer of the stomach. Judge Won
Schlegel was widely known and much
esteemed by host of friends and ac-
quaintances who, together with his ram
ily, mourn the loss OF a brilliant ana
kindly gentleman. He died at the tam
lily residence, 24l6 Ninth avenue south,
and leaves a wife and five children.
Judge Van Sehlegell was born in
Prussia, in 1915. He acquired mill
tary education under his father, who
was commander of the cadet school,
and afterwards served seven years as
an officer in the Grenadier guards,
which formed the body-guard OF the
emperor, and went through the CAM
paign of Sadowa in 1866, being at that
time but twenty-one years of age, He
came to America in 1863, and to
Minneapolis in 1881. Before com
ing here he studied law in the
Washington university in st. Louis,
from Which he graduated with
high honors. He was thoroughly edu-
Gated in modern languages, and spoke
French, German. Italian and Scandl-
nayian with equal fiuency, which made
him a valuable man in the position he
filled. He was in his second term OF
Office. to which he was elected in 1888.
He belonged to one of the highest fam
lilies in Germany. and was second
cousin of Gen. Leo Won Caprivl, who
has been appointed Bismarck's sue
cessor as chancellor of the empire, the
two being warm personal friends.
The Judge was prominent man III all
business and social enterprises with
which he was connected. He was sec
retarv of the Wisconsin Red Pressed
Brick company, and director OF the
Citizens bank. He also served as one
of the council of administration OF the
Harmonic society for two years, and
was also one of the leading members of
the First Unitarian church. The fun
eral will be held Sunday at 2 O'Clock,
D. m., from the church. southeast corner
Mary place and South Eighth street.

A DAMAGING STATE OF CASE.

Ordinarily the EAGLE takes but little
stock in sensational campaign charges
preferred against candidate late in a
campaign or on the eve of an election:
they usually SAVIOR of demagogy or
political trickery and not unfrequently
result in helping rather than injuring
the chances of the accused. Not to
pursue the subject, which is theme
for an extended dissertation on morals
and ethics and soforth, we briefly apply
the proposition to the case of Mr.. Willis,
the Peoples party candidate for COVER
nor, and are constrained TO say that,
Notwithstanding what we have said, this
case presents a most damaging situation
for somebody. If what Willis sister says
of him is true he is unfit for decent as
sociations; if they are not true then
the sister must indeed be a depraved
wretch. If the sisters allegations are
based on fact, Willis is certainly devoid
Of honesty a d the finer feelings that
should characterize the civilized and
enlightened portion Of the human
family.

The dispatches for the past two or

seem to sustain the theory of epidemics

Of this ella Of "news" may be accounted
for in part by the absence, just at this
time, of other important events and in
cidents worthy of special note to the
public. The demand for news is uni
versal and imperative and in the absence
a sufficient amount of a desirable and
wholesome sort, other kinds must be
substituted. This is not very fiattering
commentary upon our social and intel
lectual conditions, but it is true, never
theless.
