the last congress had much to do with
Republican defeat in the elections Of
1890, and yet he thinks he was right IN
his rulings.
Probably no living man is so much

terry OF some sort about Mr.. Blaine.

Is he sick, or is he well? And so it goes.
The secretary has just n close friend
in the house. Mr.. Hit visits Mr. Blaine
about seven times a week. Blaine has
no secrets from this tried. trusty friend.
So of course Hit is often appealed to
by his fellow members for some in
formation about the secretary of state.
He doesn't often respond, but a few
days ago he sat down OF one of the sofas
and in the presence of an interested
crowd Of congressman thus explained

Sunday Night.
The many friends and acquaintance
of DR.. Il. j. Reed throughout Montana
will be greatly shocked to learn of his
sudden death which occurred at his
rooms in the Bristol about y o'clock
Sunday night. Saturday morning he
was at one OF two business houses on
Central avenue apparently in the enjoy
ment Of good health. Toward evening
he complained of severe pains in the re-
gion of the heart, and at nightfall he
was in his room a very sick man.
Physicians were summoned and all that
medical skill and the kindest care and
attention could do for him was done.
His condition remained unchanged dur
ing Sunday but it was considered so
critical that non but attending physi-
clans and nurses were permitted to see
him. Sunday night he rapidly grew
worse and at midnight he passed peaee-
fully away as an infant to its sleep.
During the day he seemed to feel that
his end was approaching and made a
few requests concerning the conveyance
of certain information to his family at
Washington. ID. c., all of which will be
faithfully complied with. Yesterday
morning his remains we're conveyed TO
the rooms of Undertaken Powers where
they will be prepared for their final dis
position. The news of his death was
telegraphed to his family with a request
for instructions as to whether the body
should be shipped to Washington fol
burial or be inferred in the cemetery al
this place. Yesterday afternoon an an.
swer was received from his father-in-laW
b. III. Stcinmitz requesting that the body
be shipped to Washington.

about 40 years of age. The immediate
cause Of his death was heart failure.

where he has made a host of friends b.
his ability as a physician and by hi
gentlemanly demeanor and superio
