the Second district when there were
only three congressman from the state,
and afterwards the Third district when
the number was increased 10 five. He
was prominent banker. interested in
four national banks i'll his state. He
was at Washington on the first day OF
this month, where, after concluding his
business, he met two old Minnesota
friends, who had recently moved to
North Dakota. One was Judge w. j.
Mooney, of Langdon, n. ID. The other
was Capt. NJ. L. Mccormack, president
of the Grand Forks National bank. at
Grand Forks, n. D.
With them he agreed to take trip
through Mexico, and go thence to the
mid-winter fair at San Francisco be-
fore returning home. They went to
New Orleans and enjoyed the Mardi
Gras festivities, thence to San Antonio
and Laredo, Tex. and via the Narrow
Guage to Monterey, San Luis Potosi
and the City of Mexico. Returning
north, they took the Mexican Central
railroad to Ell Paso, but stopped off at
Queretaro and at Aguas Calientes last
Friday, where Maj. Strait called on
Congressman Wilson and Tarsney.
Here hot spring bath had bad effect
on Mai. Strait. After his train pulled
north, and after he had seen Congress
man Wilson carried ON the stretcher to
the South-bound special, he became
nauseated, and his stomach would re-
tain nothing. He grew worse on the
train. suffering from threatened heart
disease, cold feet and bowel conges
ton.
\ doctor was telegraphed for and met
the train at Chihuahua Saturday. The
major there was revived by stImulants
and the external application of warm
water cushions. His companions of the
"trip attended and nursed him, with
She assistance of one female passenger
and General Passenger Agent White, OF
the Mexican Central, during the night,
but the doctor said the distinguished
patient would not reach Ell Paso, which
was nearly verified. The major was
wholly himself up to the last moment,
when he grasped the hand of Capt. Nc
Cormack, his old-time friend, and,
pressing it, said: Captain, this is get
ting very serious" The train had
hardly stopped at the first station on
American soil when the Minnesota
statesman was dead.

pany. His brother, w. w. Strait, OF
Los Angeles, CAL, will arrive here in
the morning. The body is being EN-
baImed today, and will be shipped to St
Paul Monday or Tuesday. The sad oc.
currence has cast gloom upon the
friends who accompanied the dead man
during the extended trip, and they are
undecided as to continuing their con
tempiated journey west.

gan's Deposed Officers.
LANSING, Mich, Feb. 25.-In refer
ence to the charges published in De-
troit last evening that the deposed state
officers had been guilty of collecting
money from the state. illegally for per-
sonal expenses, the only member of the
board of state auditors iii the city stated
this afternoon that the practice of al
lowing these expenses had always been
followed, and that before allowing
these particular bills the board looked
up the precedents in the matter.
1t is believed. however. that the
recently deposed officials have
been considerably more enter
prlsing in charging up expenses than
any of their predecessors, and that at
all events the charges were illegal ami
unauthorized. Detailed COMPARISONS of
the expenses charged by the present
and former officials have not as vet
been obtained, those who have attempted
to examine the records claiming that
they have been hindered and detained
from making a comprehensive eXamina-
ton. Secretary of State Jochim, Treas
urer HambitZer and Land Commissioner
Berry, the three officers deposed for
alleged negligence in the salaries
frauds, comprise the board of auditors.

If nothing short of miracle
could possibly save them. The
little ones, all unaware of the
terrible fate which threatened them,
slept the sleep Of the innocent while
the deadly flames and sitting smoke
crept nearer and nearer to them. In
the upper floors were about the same
number of adults, all of whom were in
like danger. Just at the critical mo-
ment help came, and dozen brave men,
headed by Augustus Speer, stage
driver, broke down the doors and rushed
into the burning building, rescung the
children at the imminent risk of their
own lives and carrying them to a place
of safety through the bitter winds, and
the women who had slept in the upper
floors. 1t was thought that all had been
saved when the white and terror-stricken
faces of Sage and his wife appeared at

a time when it seemed ms if they would
surely be saved. both disappeared from
