the sad intelligence of the eeath of Capt.
W. E. Bailey. The firm received a letter
from him. dated March 70, in which it was
stated that one of his mates had died at Ric

state the cause. Captain Bailey was thirty
nine years of age, and has been master on

He l. Lying at the Point OF Death at His
Home.
DR.. Reid Alexander is lying at the
point Of death at his home
1904 Topeka avenue with per
foration of the bowels. His
death is feared at any minute and there
il said to be no hope that he will survive
the afternoon.
Probably no physician in Topeka has
larger practice or enjoys a higher stand
ing among the professional men of To
peka than Reid Alexander. In addition

ably second to none IN the city, he is a
member Of the city board of health, the
Rock Islands Topeka physician. mem
Der Of the board of pension examiners.
and the medical referee for Kansas of
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York.
Dr. Alexander's illness has been al
most continual for ten weeks. At vari-
Gus times it has taken the form of ma
larial fever, typhoid fever, peritonitis
and perforatiOn of the bowels. Ten DAYS
ago DIR. Alexander felt SO fully recovered
that he dressed for the first time in many
weeks and went to the funeral of his
staunch friend Charles Martin. Dr.
Alexander was up several days and in
that time gained fully ten pounds. The
exertiOn was too much for his
wasted strength however and early
last week he was compelled to resume
his bed. Up TO Saturday night strong
hopes were entertained for his recovery.
but at that time the perforation of the
bowels first appeared in such a malig-
nant form as to cause much anxiety. He
grew steadily worse since.
His physicians, DIR. Mum and Dr. Nc
CURE, labored with him all night, but
early this morning announced that their
patient was dying, with no possible hope
of recovery.
DIR. Alexander was up to II
o'clock this morning in the full
possession of all his faculties, and
he himself discovered from his
own symptoms that he was dying. Glanc-
ing at his finger nails he observed that
they were gradually assuming the dead
ly purple, and he said: doctor. l am
dying" DR.. Mcclure admitted that such
was the case and DR.. Alexander re-
quested that Mrs. DR.. Stormont and his
brothers-in-law, F. q. Willard and DR.. A.
II. Thompson, should be summoned.
This was done, and shortly after con-
sultation with them. he relapsed into I'M
consciousness. He has been conscious at
periods since, but irrational
