An Active Mans SUDDEN Death.

An Active Mans Sudden Death.
The tragic death of Captain John 81. Smith
occurred in the washroom of the Copeland
hotel in Topeka. There were a dozen men
in the room. Captain Smith was seated and
attention was attracted to him by his un-
natural breathing, his head being we'll for
ward.
There was no struggle and no evidence OF
pain-the heart seemed to suddenly stop
beating, and after nature had failed to con-
tinue the circulation of the blood his life
went out.
Senator Householder, Captain Smiths old
political rival, L. S. Crum and j. q. Has
kell, his friends and s<ociates, stood silently
over the cot and gazed on the lifeless body.
Tears mostened Senator Householder eyes.
'John was good fellow" said he, land
this is an awful death"
II ate breakfast with him." said ex-Stata
Senator Kelly "and he seemed unusually
jolly There was no wittier, brighter man
than John II. Smith, and this morning hia
sallies were brighter than usual.
"Only ten minutes ago he shook hands
with me-" said j. G.. Haskell, ''and there
was absolutely no indication that ne was not
as we'll as usual"
Captain Smiths most intimate friends
never heard that he has ever suffered with
heart disease, though DR.. Sheldon, who was
called in, attributed his death to paralysis
of the heart. He was of an exceedingly
strong constitution and was never sick:
Captain Smith was "a years old his home
was at COlum bus. He WAS a member of the
legislature IN any years ago, had been deputy
United States marshal warden of the state
penitentiary, and president of the state
board of public works.
He has been in Topeka during the session
of this legislature. working for the appro-
priation for the State refornatory at Hutch
inson. He was successful. The reason
Captain Smith took so much interest in this
appropriation was because he expected to
be appointed superintendent of the institu-
ton, and it was the general talk among pol.
iticians that he was to be given the place.
