UNcLE JOHNNY DEAD.
J.. IL. Phillips Passes Away Suddenly
At Buffalo.

The community wa shocked yesterday
morning, says Thursdays Buffalo Echo.
by the report that j. FL. Phillips, popu-
larry known as Uncle Johnny" had died
suddenly. The rumor was only too well
founded. for death had, without warning,
taken him while he was actively at work
and apparently in full possession of all of
his faculties.
In company with NJ. d. Weed, the
stage company's agent at this place. Mr..
Phillips was at work in his horse corral
on north Main street, roping a fractious
animal. They both were pulling upon
the rope to which the horse was fastened,
when Phillips suddenly loosed his hold
and fell backward to the ground, dead.
The attending physician pronounced the
cause of his death to be heart decease.
j. FL. Phillips was Ga years old, and
has for twenty-five years been a promi-
nent Wyoming character. He was the
first to develop the Rattlesnake oil dis
trict, having invested eight thousand dol
lars to that end. His horse interests are
extensive. and made him famous as a
scrupulously honest horse dealer. I'm
cle'' Johnny was a famous joker, and his
good nature insured him a welcome wher.
ever he went.
He leaves an aged wife, who is an In

Prohibition movement. In an off year
when only about thrce-fourths of the
usual vote was cast, we have increased
our vote by about O,COO and that in the
face OF bittelest opposition. This mag
nilicent gain may be reduced to $1,000 if
the Democrats of Connecticut succeed in
throwing out the Prohibition vote of
that State, which they are earnestly en-
dcavoring to do. But with this gain.

Ir would be cruel to doubt the state
ment of candidates for Office who are
defeated that they are glad to be re-
lieved from the cares and troubles Of
otiiceholding. They ought to be allowed
to find all the consolation in their
power under the disappointments, and
sometimes notifications, that they
have met. Yetwe are inclined to think
that the instances are very rare of a
candidate who was really pleased to be
defeated. 1t was so easy to have de-
clined in advance, if there was such a
state Of feeling. But defeats ore some
times blessings in disguise, notwith-
standing, and in process of time men
