Dear Sir: A convention composed
of delegates from the Southern States
and cities was held in Chicago in
February to consider the advisabiIity
of holding an exposition of Southern
resources and products in that city
this year, and to devise ways and
means for covering the cost of such
an exposition. The convention re
solved without dissenting voice
that the exposition should be held

The several Southern States under
took, on their part. 10 provide the
exhibits and 10 pay the expense Of

deemed advisable that if the legisla-
ture failed to make an appropriation
to place before the world the pro-
ducts and resources Of oar various
cotton and other industries at the cx-
position III Chicago, trial should be

The Sumter grand jury in their
report {. the recent term of Court
charged the dispensers with violating
the dispensary law. At the Mayes-
vile dispensary it appeared the sig
natures were nearly all in the same
handwriting, some applications were
not signed at all, and the officer in
chargo admitted selling whiskcy to
known habitual drunkards. The
Sumter dispensary furnished liquors
to persons without requiring them to
sign the application, and without re-
quiring unknown persons to be iden-
tilted. These are violations, we
dare say, common to all these insti-
tutions. The success Of the dispen-
sary law depends entirely upon the
manner Of its execution and the
danger is that the dispensers them
selves will not observe the act. The

Big screw Broke Mt Sea and the

ception Of any inventor Of it's greater

SO large that it was deemed best to

MYSTERY ABOUT II.
Col. Fred Engel Dies Suddenly In
5g5s-5g3s 3Att5sft5v NJilyyHnLee

Col. Fred Engel Dies Suddenly In
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Nov II. Col. Fred
Engel, a member of Gov. Upham's
staff, is dead It is not known whether
It was stroke of apoplexy or suicide
I Col. Engel, who came from Ileno sha,
has been resident Of this city q short
time, and was employed as bookkeeper
by the Schlitz Brewing company.
When he arose yesterday morning he
complained Of being i'll. He went to
the bath command, after a bath. sank
into chair and was immed iately
seized with ccnyulsions. He died be-
fore medical aid could reach him. He
was in the best Of health up to two
hours before his death. DR.. M. II.
Clarke, who was summoned, refused
ito issue a death certificate, and the
case was reported to the health au-
thorities. They turned il over to the
coroner In the meantime, III. L.
Thomas, an undertaken, was called to
take charge of the body. He had tire
moved, and when the coroner arrived
on the scene it was claimed that the
embalming fluid had already been in-
jected into the body. Last night Mrs.
Thomas, the wife of the undertaken,
denied that her husband had en-
balmed the body, but would not call
her husband from the post-mortem
which was ordered by the coroner, and
which was being conducted by Doctors
Washburn and Seifert.
1t is reported that Col. Engel was
short in his accounts at the brewery,
but this cannot be verified. Manager
Wuesthof, Of the brewing company,
when asked about the matter, said
that Col Engel was discharged from
their employ on Thursday In regard
to the rumors Of shortage he would
have nothing to say. He admitted that
an examination of the dead mans
books was now in progress, but did
not think this would indicate there was
any truth in the runors about short
age. Health Commissioner Kempster
has, issued orders that any undertaken
who embalms a body before a death
certificate is issued BY his department
will be prevented from doing business
in the city. The undue haste with
which the body was taken to the I'M
dertaking establishment and en-
balmed, and the statement Of Mrs.
Thomas that the body was not EN-
balmed are regarded as suspicious cir
tcumstances. The sudden death caused
no little surprise in Kencsha, where he
was held in high esteem, both in BUSH
ness and social circles. Prior to his
coming to Milwaukee he was assistant
cashier Of the Dan Head Company
bank at Kenosha.
