Dolph died at 1880 a. m. today. The
end came peacefully ana ne passed
away surrounded by his sorrowing
family. The funeral will be from the
family residence on Friday at / o'clock.
Beloved by all who knew him. the
announcement Of Senator DOfph's death
caused much sorrow amongst MS hun
dreds Of friends throughout this state.
Astorians. one and all. regretted the
loss Of this noble character, whose yir-
tues in life were hardly appreciated.
save by those who stood by him upon
the floor Of the United States senate.
Faults he had none. except such as
were manufactured by political enc
mics. Quietly and unobtrusively he
accomplished great things in the ma
tional capital for Oregon.
For years past Senator Doiph has
been a sufferer from that dread dis
ease. diabetes. only preventing a fatal
sickness by limiting himself TO the
most abstemious OF diets so far as food
containing either sugar or starch was
concerned. The insIdious poison. how
ever. steadily worked its way into his
system until a short time ago. when
symptoms Of the approach OF the dis
ease in an acute stage made their ap-
pearance. in the shape Of sores on the
feet. These were not particularly
painful or obstinate. but became so ten
days ago. when an ulcer appeared on
the large toe of the left foot. On the
Sth a consultation of physicians was
held, all previously having been
done that was known TO medical science
to stay the spread Of the fostering sore.
at which it was decided that the only
possible chance for life was amputation
of the limb. When the announcement
was made to the sick man. as though
he were weighing some judicial ques-
ton, and with the same ,dignified man
ner which has characterized his appear
ance in court and public. Mr.. Dolph
asked the surgeons as to what per cent.
age OF increase his chances of life
would b given by the amputation of the
limb. He was answered from 10 to Il
in 100: without the operation, none.
Very well. then" quietly replied Mr.
Dolph. I'VE had better commence"

ed General Adolfo Castillo into the

place TO a small town in4the country,
where it was his intention to tuke his

He vas promptly sentenced to death.

Nelasco and insurgent leaders. Ducas
Diaz and Delegado. the famous Wad-
rass battalion of Spanish troops went
into the fight, and only six men lived
to tell, the story, and another battalion
was almost as badly treated.
General Nelasco admits that the
cause of his tremendous defeats was
that the insurgents had the advantage
Of location.
The recent attack upon Il Spanish
force in Havana by General Alexander
Rodriguez of the Cubans is reported
also to have been a very successful oue
He led 1900 men from the east, and

Ing Telegram does not propose to be
fooled all the time.
An up to date evening paper at 1 cent

publishing evening papers at l cent are
either fooling the public OF fooling them

has ceased publication until the time be-
comes ripe when it can stop being fooled

DECISION THAT MIXES THINGS
Tax Deeds Declared Void by SUI

10 .HelI-H
prone Court.
Aberdeen, S. d., Nov. 23.-Tfeal cs-
tate men and attorneys are interested
in u recent decision made by the SUI
preme court of South Dakota in the
case of Salmer ct ILL.,, VS.. Lathrop ct
al, in which it was held that Il tax
deed showing that Two or more lots
were sold together, as one tract and
Tor n single consideration, is void upon
ITS lace. The action i'll question was
to determine conflicting claims to, aud
recover for the use and occupation Of
two lots i'll the city of Ncrmililon, and
was tried to the court without a jury
and resulted in a judgment for the
plaintiffs. Defendants appealed aud in
the higher court won their suit. The
tax deed to the property was issued
thirteen Years ago. Justice Fuller who
wrote the decision of the court said:
The view VIZ have taken leads to the
conclusion that the tax deed upon
which the defendant Latlrop, relies
is void upon its face, because the indis
putable recitnls of the instrument con
'clusively shows that two distinct and
separate town lots We're exposed and
sold ut public auction as one tract or
parcel, for a gross consideration.
Plaintiffs recovery of the property ur-
der the Judgment of the trial court,
is conditional upon the payment OF
$l01.50, taxes paid by the defendant
I.athrop together with accrued inter-
est on that sun which conclusion we
regard as equitable in the premises"
The decision is no doubt far reaching
in effect, as large numbers of sales for
taxes of lots in this city and section
have been made under conditions gov
erning III the Nermillion case, and
properly came within tie meaning of
the court.

LEMARs SHOE COMPANY muDDLI
President Gooiric!, Cleans Up the
Concern D~isastrous!y I"
others lpfr..cS,S

Others Interests.
LcAiars. Nov. al For Il lory tine it
has Ecen apparent hat it WAS keeling
the LeMars stockholders of the burned
shoe factory busy to keep in sight OF
the cunning president, w. u. Goodrich,
and while they would not admit rs
much they have been kept busy in
keeping track of what MIR. Goodrich
was doing.
Its learned that whiie Mr. Goodrich
was trying to make the LeMurs end of
the wire think that he was getting
ready to annihilate the Insurance. com
panies for ncn-paymcnt of pol cies. he
was working the Chicago end to his
" advantage and to their detriment.
When Goodrich came and established
the factory the old stockholders were
given insurance policies amounting to
about $4,000. ard when the factory
burned they supposed that they were
secure for that amount.
On this they ~reckonc,l without con-
sidering Mr.. Goodrich. and while they
We're feeling safe Mr.. Goodrich was
settling with the insurance companies
for so cents on the dollar, including
their $4,000. When this settlement
was made and the drafts of the COM
pany turned over to him he was to for
ward the drafts to LeMars. AT about
this time Mr.. Goodrich confessed juag-
nent in the sum Of $4,000 TO n man,
whom the LsAiars people think was in
on the deal and the drafts intended
for them were seized to apply on Mr..
Goodrich's alleged Indebtedness.
In the settlement the insurance
companies declare that the books OF
the factory show that someone, pre-
sumahly Goodrich. drew out $1,000
ard possibly more, leaves of the books
| being torn out in places which pre-
vented them from arriving at the full
amount. Goodrich had established
and had been running a large shoe
house in Chicago under the name of
the LcAfars Shoe company and on the
factory backing had done a large
business. but had just closed out the
stock. leaving unpaid a bill Of several
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Goodrich evidently intended to
sweep the platter clean in LeMars, but
shortly after he commenced operations
he was prevented from ding business
in a that would further involve
the company or members of the com
pany.
1t is asserted that Goodrich did all
of his business here on less than $1,000.
borrowing n portion of that back so
that he had but little more than $500
invested. s.
