acharacter, indeed. He is OF an obliging
nature, who saves your meals when you
are not on hand when the gong announces
your food is ready to tickle your palate.
He rises at four every morning and bends
his every effort to make your food palata- /
bic. He tries to always have sufficient to
I'LL you UP satisfactory. He it is who stands
over a fiery range in midsummer and is pa
tient as lamb, wondering what dainty to
prepare for your dessert at noon. Some
times the fire won't burn to suit him, yet,
with almost herculean efforts, he conceals
his chagrin and never uses unbiblical
words. The dictionary says cook is per
sonage without regard to sex who prepares
meal Well, old Webster may be right,
but | am certain beyond fear of contradic-
ton. that an army cook is one who,
aided by glowing heat, superin-
duced by coal, wood and som eti,nes
kerosene, peels potatoes, parches coffee,
carves steaks, mixes the ingredients for
soups, gravies and otherwise formulates
menu for each day ahead and with that
alacrity only found In the army, adheres
closely to his chosen line of action. By
Zine of action | mean he will have so and
so for you to eat. You will get that to the
letter. Take him all in all he is not only
well liked genius but is king of his domain.
Like all caterers to the inner man, army
cooks study the peculiarities of his subjects
and, with few exceptions, always please.
AS preparers of dainties they can vie with
many high toned club chef dc cuisine They
are provided with an assistant cook and
cooks police. The assistant aids his chief
in his work over the burning embers,
whilst the the cooks police, who is detailed
day by day, does anything and everything
which he is ordered to do by the cook
himself. l am quite sure the kitchen tut
ton Uncle Sam gives his warrior children
is very beneficial, for it teaches them how
to prepare food in manner most healthful
and also impresses upon him WHO'S serving
his turn as company cook how to economic
advantageously without stinting a COM
pany. With good bread beef, vegetables
of all kinds in season, desserts, canned
goods, butter, etc, with which the soldier
is now supplied, the cook can, and does,
prepare meals suited to any one, be he high
IN the worlds estimation or simply and en-
listed man in the army of the United

DIED AT THE CASE.

Yesterday evening George W. Brown,
foreman of the Democrat, fell dead while
distributing type in the cases Three
minutes before he fell he was noticed in
his usual health and spirits. At the mo-
ment he was in the composing room alone,
aud Messrs. Frank Smith, Farmer Doolit-
tie and Dick Ryan were in an adjoining
room. They heard the fall and the rat
thing of the tyre and thought some one
had pied form, which WAS expected up
the stairs about that time. Going out into
the hail and pot fiuding any cause for The
noise, they returned to the room, when a
groan was heard from the composing
room. Going in Immediately, Brown was
found lying on his side. slightly bent for
ward. and a handful of type, which he was
distributing, scatterd on the floor. He
had evidently fallen backwards, but
being close to the wall, had been
turned on his side in the bent
position in which he was found. \ ply
stefan was at once summoned and all re-
storatives were applied, but he was be-
yond recall. He breathed his last just
moment after the physician arrived. 1t is
estimated that not more than five minutes
elapsed between his fall and his death
His parents reside in Cheney, where he
at one time was editor of Cheney Blade.
No arrangements will be made for the
funeral until they are heard from. In the
meantime the remains may be viewed by
friends at Messrs. Fieg & Boaz, on East
Douglas avenue. Heart failure was IN
doubtedly the cause of his death, although
no one knew that he had any heart all
ment. He was probably 25 years IF age,
of studious habits and highly respected by
a large circle of acquaintance.
No one being present at the moment it
was deemed necessary to hold an inquest,
so the coroner impanelled jury immedi-
ately and viewed the remains, but post
por ed the inquest until $50 last night.
At the inquest DR.. McAdams, who was
summoned 10 attend him, testified that
death ensued from some organic heart dis
ease. DIR. ReutZ, who examined the body
after death, gave it as his opinion that
death resulted from heart ciot. The bal
ance of the testimony brought out nothing
further than already narrated and the Jury
returned its verdict in accordance with the
testimony OF the attending physician
Mr. Browns sudden death was great
surprise and he will be mourned by many
friends His summons was forthwith aud
il is great comfort TO his friends to feel
that he was not unprepared to render a
final account TO that inscrutable dispenser
of life and death.

and even free to those who can not afford
to pay for them.
Last night the Rev. T. c. Hahn preached
TO packed house, very many being COM
PEELED to go away disappointed because

TROUBLE AT THE CAR WORKS.

Last night as D. A. McNicol, chief of the
night watch at the Burton car works. was
going to work, he was assaulted by the
hostler J. H. Moss and severely cut about
the head with an iron bar. AS soon as the
facts were known to the sheriff, d warrant
was issued for Moss and he was arrested
later in the evening by deputy. The
trouble between the two men has been of
long standing and grew out of a report
made by McNicoi to the company that
Moss children had been appropriating
wood that belonged to the company, taking
the same home for kindliug. The men
had some conversation about the matter
and failed to agree and there it rested.
McNicol says that Moss attacked him last
night without word OF warning and hit
him with this bar OF iron before he had
time to defend himself.
