was considered nothing serious, and when
the household was awakened before day
light by 14year-old Frederick, who an
nounced that his father was dead, there
was CONSERVATION.
Mr.. Field had been in the habit of sleep
ing with his son, and during the night the
boy was awakened by his repeated groans,
AT length the father became so quiet that
the child's fears were aroused and he gave
the alarm which notified the household
that the kind and honored husband and
father was no more. The news of the
death quickly spread throughout Buena
Park where Mr.. Field was most popular
among his tOwnSmen, and SotIn all the
prominent clubs were appraised of the fact
The deceased writer was in the prime Of
life, and was stricken down just at the
time when his literary work was securing

GENERAL MALONE DEAD.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Gener-
al Malone has finally succumbed
to his fatal attack of paralysis
and now lies dead in this city.
General Malone was born in
Virginia, Dec. /, 1926. He was
graduated from the Virginia
Military institute In March,
1864, he was made a brigadier
general,
After the war he resumed his
profession, but soon drifted into
politics and became leader of that
faction which was afterward
called "Readiusters," which IA
vored the partial reputation of
the State debt and its readiust-
ment on lines which would en-.
able the State to pay it. He
formed a fusion with the Repub.
licans and in 1879 the Readiust.
ers carried the State and General
Malone was elected to the Sen
ate. He served in the Senate
until 1887, when he was defeated
for reelection.
For his utilization with the Re.
publicans in the Senate, General
Malone found himself practically
ostraclsed in Virginia. This so
cial and business boycott brought
General Malone to bankruptcy.
Last winter to save the rights Of
his creditors he made an assign
ment.

The Leader as yet, has never
taken any part in the fight made
against Internal revenue Miller,
by the different papers over the
State; but there has lately come
to the Leader the information,
which is believed to be authentic,
that Miller has instructed that a
Republican of this town be ap.
pointed district guager under
Gilkenson. If this is true and
the Leader believes it is-Mr.
Miller is nothing more or less
than a traitor to his party and a
tool for the Republican party.
If this is done every democrat
in the State should rise up and
demand the resignation of Mr..
Miller. The party cannot, il
seems, get shut of the traitors il
