Admiral Porter Dead.

WAsHINoroN, Feb. 13.-AdmiraI DAVID
ID. Porter died this morning. HE death
was very sudden. 1t occurred at his resi-
dence here and was the result OF fatty de-
generation of the heart, with which he has
been affected since last summer. His death
was calm and peaceful. When DIR. Wales
left him at IL O'Clock last night his con
dition was about the same as it had been
for several weeks past. There were nc in
that medical services would he
needed before the time for the doctors reg
ular visit this morning. The nature OF the
admiral's disease made il dangerous f0r
him to lie on his back, so that he was ae
eustomed to rest sitting upon a large sofa
with his back and head supported by pill
lows. The admiral Was awake at 6:45 this
morning and too his nourishment a-
usual. He afterward fell into "a light sleeI

We are in receipt OF Senate bill No.
Is, introduced by Senator Baylies OF
this county. 1t is a bill to amend the
animal bounty law in several particu-
lars. The bounty on wolves and coy
otes is not changed, but for bear and
mountain lion the price is raised from
two to five dollars, and on each Wild
cat, lynx or bobcat, from fifty cents
to one dollar. The most important
amendment is that which permits the
person killing any OF the above named
animals to 60 before a justice of the
peace to make affidavit and have the
skins punched. This will "wolfers"
the trouble and expense OF visiting the
county seat. As in the old law the
affidavit of two respectable freehold
ers. re>idents OF the county in which
the animals were killed, are required
to vouch for the parties offering skins.
The Justice OF the peace is to receive
twenty-five cents for each skin punched
The penalties for any violation OF the
provisions are quite eel and the
probabilities are there would be few
attempts at r~ascality.

What seems to be the trouble this morn

"ErysiPelas and bronchial troubles"
was the reply. After consulting the doc

THE GENERAL PASSES AWAY.
General Sherman died at 1:5O p. m.
During the forenoon as the hours passed
by, every inquirer who called at the house
was told all hope was abandoned and his
relatives and attendants were merely wait
ing for the end and endea voring to make
his last hours as free from suffering as pos
sible. Among those who called were Cyrus
w. Field and Mrs. U. s. Grant. AS on the
preaching uhs u ~ now Una u
Gen. Sherman lay at deaths door. knots
of people gathered in the street near his
home, talking to each ether in low tones OF
the dying soldier. At 1:55 p. IN. a servant
came out Of the house and told the police
man on guard that the end had come and
that the general had at last surrendered
From Sec. Barrett it was learned that
General Sherman had remained Unconscious
to the last, dying without visible pain.

Now that every county is making a
bid for q state institution OF some
sort, why should not Fergus county
present it's claims for the agricultural
college? 1t probably contains more
agricultural lands than any other
county in the state, has abundance oil
timber and water, and is central as
regards location. The fact that it has
no railroad at present should be no
objection. Tie county will have ample
railroad facilities in a few years, prob
ably before a college would he located
anywhere. The place for an agricul-
tural college is where there is a chance
for practical demonstration. In this
respect Fergus county cannot be sur
passed. Give us the college.

Again the country is called to mourn
the death of one of it's greatest men.
General Sherman, Told "Pap" Sher-
man, as he was called in the army
probably occupied first place in the
hearts of the rank and file. His frank,
generous nature, made him approach
able to the common soldier, yet did
not interfere with perfect discipline.
He loved his men and held their lives
as dear as his own, and won victories
by strategy and maneuvre ratherthan
by pitched battle. At the outbreak oil
the war his views were so at variance
with those high in authority that he
was called a crank and even found it
difficult to get a position in the service.
