GENERAL FAGRcHILD DEAD.
WIscoNsINs DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER
STATESMAN, DIPLOMAT


Buried From the Capitol VITA Honors OF
Bngadier General, Tuesday at O'Clock
PM
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Wisconsin,
most honored son, died at his home in
the city OF Madison Saturday evening
at ten minutes before Z o'clock. Up
to Saturday noon, Gen, Fairchild's
family had strong hopes for his recov-
cry, but at that time there came a
change for the worse and at 4 o'clock
he became unconcious.
Gen. Fai .hild had not been in good
health for over year and an attack
of the grip some months ago develop
ed into kidney trouble Not until
ten days ago, however. did he give up
and take to his bed. where in spite of
the best medical attention he grew
weaker. Early Saturday afternoon
DR.. Philip Fox told the family the end
was near, and Mrs Fairchild and ner
family assembled about the bedside.
Up to three o'clock the general contin-
ued to recognize them, but could not
speak.
The Fairchilds have been prominent
people in Wisconsin from territorial
days. General Fairchild was born in
Ohio sixtY-five years ago. His family
moved to Madison when he was Is
years old.
The finding OF gold in California in
terested young Fairchild, then 10
years old and he made the trip over
land and remained there six years.
He was admitted to the bar in the
fall of 1860, but in the spring of the
following year, after the firing on fort
Sumter. he left the legal career open
ing before him and went to the front,
being one of the first five in Wisconsin
to respond to the presidents call.
He started as captain and finished
as brigadier-general.
He commanded the End Wisconsin OF
the famous Iron Brigade most of the
time and his regiment took part in
nearly all of the great battles of the
eastern army except those of the Pen
insula under Mcclellan.
Gen. Fairchild was elected to various
state and territorial offices and was
three times chosen governor, entering
the office first in 1866. He held in
later years several important foreign
positions; was consul to Liverpool,
consul-general to Paris and Minister
TO Spain.
All these positions he filled with
honor to himself and credit to his
country. AS man he was gentle
man in the noblest sense of the word
and an ideal husband and father. He
leaves widow and three daughters
with whom great state mourns and
with whom the veterans of the war
especially his comrades of the Iron
Brigade, would mingle their tears,
with hearts too full for audible ex-
preston.

Those Flower Beds.

MIR Herman Schloesser of this city
is an expert flower gardener. During
the spring, summer and fall the album
dance and beauty attracts all passers-
by.
Three or four weeks ago he had a
large bed of tulips and hyacinths
whose hundreds of rich blooms were
marvel of beauty and fragrance.
One evening when the bed was look
ing its best three children visited it
and picked some of the flowers. One of
the three was child of the editor of
the HERALD. When Mr. Schloesser mis-
sed the blossoms he made inquiry to
find who were the offenders and after
learning their names, he, like gentle
man that he is, informed the parents
of the children. The conversation
between Mr.. Schloesser and the editor
of the HERALD was not marred by a
single unkind word on either side.
Sincere regret was expressed by the
editor that the mischief had been
done and assurance given that it
would not be repeated. An offer to
pay damages was made but it was
declined by Mr. Sehloesser.
That is all there is to the desecra-
ton of flower beds charged to the
children of the HERALD editor in the
last issue of the Teller Other mis-
chief of similar nature has occurred
in the city but in none of it, SO far as
we can learn, did our children have a
part.
We do not for a moment excuse the
act Of the children They did wrong
and merited dicipline from their par
ents but we submit that the action of
of our child in wrongfully taking five
blossoms was not SO great crime
that he should be singled out from his
fellows, his identity alone made known
his offense exaggerated, by insinua-
ton, other mischief of which he knew
nothing charged to him, and himself
advertised as bad and dangerous
boy. Especially is this so when among
the parties Immediately concerned
there was a perfect understanding and
the most friendly, neighborly feeling.
The course of the Teller man in this
matter is that of mad, Jealous. de-
feated scoundrel. His shafts of hat
red and envy having failed 10 pene-
trate the fathers armor of honesty
and fair-dealing, the contemplate
craven attacks the child.
Here is another proof of what the
HERALD has repeatedly affirmed th..,
Ed. Pollock's life of wickedness has
produced metal and moral degener-
acy that places him. in all the nobler
attributes of humanity, below the
most debased savage Of the Pacific
isles
A thing in the guise of man that
would embitter the life Of Young
boy, because of jealousy towards the
lads father, is too vile for spectacle
people to spit upon.
