AND WITHOUT WARNING.
His Life Terminates When His Phy-t

Virouua, Wis, Nov. 22.-EX-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Rusk died ut 8
H. IN. yesterday. Flc had been very
much better for the past few days, and
his physicians were confident he would
recover The death of Gen. RuSk came
like II bolt of lightning from a clear
sky. There was not the slightest I'M
dication of the approaching end. Col.
Henry Casson, his former private sec
rotary, gave to an assembled crowd OF
the generals friends Il most positive
assurance that the crisis was surely
past Gen. Itllsll himself said to his
physicians during the evening: Boys,
I'm better" Dr. Colt and Mrs. Craig.
the generals oldest daughter, remained
with him during the night. lie took
an unusual amount of milk and other
nourshmcnt and slept good portion
Of the night. He had talked freely and
appeared the more reConciled to his
condition than at any time since his
sickness Up to ten minutes Of his dis
solution he talked with his watchers,
and he appeared to drop into peace
full sleep Death came without
struggle and with no warning what
ever. Only DR.. Colt and one or two
members of his family were present to
watch the Pickering light go out.
Cause of Ills Death.
Gen. Rusll's death was due to a com
plicatiOn of disorders, the origin OF
which dates back several years. Nearly
ten years ago, when governor of the
state, Gov Rusk had first attack
similar to that which Frustrated him
on his last bed of sickness. The physl-
clan then decided that the trouble was
Il disorder of the stomach. The treat

and for some time the general consid-
cred himself cured. OF recent years,
however. there have been slight rccur-
renccs OF the attack, and, while not OF
such severity as to seriously impair the
generals health, they have been
warning of what must come in time.

oils, Gen. Rusk met Surgeon General
Hamilton and explained his symptoms
to him, and the physician made dag
noss of the case. He decided that
Gov. Rusk was suffering from enlarge
ment Of the PROSTATE gland. Within
two months the enlargement Of the
gland caused the formation OF an alb
scess near the bladder, and the abscess
gradually involved the entire gland.
Seven weeks ago Gen. Rusk's condi-
ton became so serious that he was
obliged to take to his bed. Still no
alarm was felt for his life. On Nov.
10 DR.. Hamilton was summoned from
Chicago, and q consultation was held.
1t was decided that an operation was
necessary. ChlOrOform was admins
tered and the abSccss was opened,
drainage tube being inserted. The fire.
quent rcinsertiOn Of this tube caused
the general intense suffering, and yes
terday he stated to friends that he
could not endure having the tube in
serted again. 1t was not thought, how
ever, that death was so near ut hand,
and the end was a shock to his friends
The house where Gen. Rusk died has
been the family residence for many
