The Trego County Normal of 1892
has passed into history. Considering the

this session will certainly be felt in every

It makes us nervous when one Of our
exchanges which makes greet preten-

with lower case "k." The name OF our
beautiful city was not derived from some
dusky Indian maiden nor matron as
many seem to think but is a combination
of the proper names OF Warren and
Keeney the original propristors of our
town site. We want to serve notice on
our exchanges that we will expect their
photography 70 be correct, hereafter. in
this regard, under penalty OF having their
names stricken from our Gst-something

pareuthesis, that some OF our own citi-

to squint toward kindship to the south

q family. The first Mrs. Tyler was Miss Letitia Christian, a belle of Eastern Vir- ginia. She had one peculiarity, and that was that she always retired promptly at ten o'clock.
 This was due in part to the feeble con- dition of her health and in part also to the fact that the social customs of that time were different from those of the present day. The newspapers then very rarely mentioned the social events at the White House. It is said that President | Tyler was particular about that in the early part of the administration, but he was less so during the last year, when he brought bride to the White House as his second wife, who was the daughter of @ rich New York merchant, Mir. Garden CT, who was killed by the explosion of the great gun on the frigate Princeton. The second Mrs. Tyler lived in the White House but eight months. The first Mrs. Tyler died Sept. 10, 1842, and during nearly all the rest of President Tyler's term, Mrs. Robert Tyler, daughter of the tragedian, Hooper, presided at the White House.
 Four presidents have died in office and the wife of one president. The presidents who have died were Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, and Garfield. Of these Harrison and Taylor died in the White House. Gen. Taylor died July 9, 1850.
 On the fourth of that month he attend ed the delivery of an oration at the Washington monument, and afterward | witnessed the representing in the monu- ment of dust from the tomb of Kosciusko, supposed to be that which had once been 8 part of the body of the celebrated Pol ish patriot. His death was caused by exposure, as was that of the first Presi- dent Harrison. In attending this cere- mony, which lasted an hour or two, Pres- ident Taylor was exposed to the burning rays of 8 July sun without the protection even of an umbrella. Much exhausted and overloaded, he returned to the exec utive mansion and imprudently indulged in large glasses of ice-water, and at the l oesAiO oAhAAO QUO hiPO II uApy o$5ohhSo WAAASh his servant vainly cautioned him. The result of this imprudence was an attack of disease which almost immediately be- came serious and alarming, and created the greatest anxiety in the city and throughout the country. His death took place after painful illness of five days. 1 President Lincoln died from the assault of assassin Booth in the little house on Tenth street, directly opposite Ford's old theatre, which is now the property of Mr. Schade, of the Washington Sentinel. Garfield died from the bullet of Guiteau at Elberon. One of President Lincoln's children, Little Tad, died in the White House; so did Mrs. Grants father, Colo nel Fred. Dent.-B0stOn Journal.
The Press., 1892-11-10
DEATHS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

The first death in the White House was that of the first President Harrison. An old man 69 years of age when he came to Washington, his strength was not equal to the duties of his office, and, having taken cold from an exposure, he fell 8 victim to an overestimate of his physical powers.
 He came to Washington with the sim- pie habits of country life of the earlier days of the republic. He endeavored to retain those simple habits while adding to them the additional burdens of city life and the responsibilities of his great station. Against the earnest remonstran- ces of his friends, the president continued to rise at o'clock in the morning, to go out and walk, usually to the market on market days, without the protection of an overcoat, and to entertain visitors till 1 o'clock at night.
 l At this interior home he had been &C., | customed to live in a plain and simple way. He breakfasted at seven o'clock, dined on simple fare at one, and retired early. Here he breakfasted at nine, dined at six, retired at one, and arose at five. 1 It was not a matter of wonder that the health of man 69 years of age should give way to this heavy and unaccustomed tax.
 It was alleged by the democratic press at that time, and has been insisted upon since, that General Harrison's death was caused by the host of applicants for office
 who rushed to Washington, filled the
 White House and worried his life out. Investigation shows that this is not a correct explanation of the cause of the death of the first president who died in office.
 The second death at the White House
 was that of the first wife of President Tyler, who was elected on the ticket with President Harrison, and who succeeded to the presidency on his death. President Tyler was man approaching 60 years of age, when he succeeded to the presidency. He had brought with him to Washington his wife, who was an invalid, and large
