The National Tonsorial Review, Of
,Chseago, publishes Judge Shissler's
decision in full, sustaining the bar
ber'S law, and makes very compli-
mentarY reference to the Judge edi-
torially. 1t halls the decision as a
great victory for the BARRIERS and
urges that the Illinois legislature pass
a law similar to the Minnesota law.
Judge Mead made an order of license
tod ay to sell land in the matter of the
guardianship of Rose May Thurston;
an order appointing Jennie Jones
guardian of Griffith E. Jones, minor;
and an order to hear petition for

time editor of the Union, and
postmaster of the city in the early
days. Mr.. J.W .Griswold left here with
his parents about twenty years ago,
when quite young, and this is his first
visit since. Of course he can hardly
recognize any old land marks.

preparations to atLeLd church. After
his return he suffered some distress.
He had been a sufferer from hernia
for some years, and his haste during
the morning resulted in marked ag.
gravation of the difficulty. DR.. Har-
rington was summoned at one o'clock
and after two hours work in an effort
to get the hernia back to place, he
found it necessary to put his patient
under the influence of chlorofOrm. This
was done with the assistance of DR..
Warner. The physicians thought for
a time that they had the trouble
overcome, but it was found little
later on that such was not the case.
1t became apparent late Sunday af-
ternoon that an operation must be
performed, but owing to the fact that
Mr.. Willard had already been under
the influence of anesthetics for so
long time, it was delayed until
Monday morning. Drs. Harrington,
Warner and Holbrook performed the
operation for strangulated hernia,
and it gave promise of complete sue
cess. Under ordinary circumstances
this operation is not dangerous one,
but Mr.. Wizards condition was not
the best. Upder the reaction follow
ing upon the four years strain pre-
vious TO his recent assignment, Mr..
Willard was in condition bordering
upon nervous prostration, and he was
unable to withstand the shock Of the
operation. No inflammation developed
and the symptoms were all favorable
until early morning.
At about three o'clock this morn
ing, Mr.. Willard began to sink. He
suffered no pain, but was extremely
restless from being obliged to lie in
one position. He was perfectly con-
scious at all times up to few mo-
ments before his death, and passed
away painlessly. His mind was clear
and vigorous and he realized that
death was at hand. The members of
his family, Drs. Harrington and War
ner, and Rev. Lee w. Beattie were
present at the last moments. To Mr..
Beattie, the dying man expressed the
utmost confidence in the future, and
his belief in the teachings of the gos-
pei bore him up He expressed no re-
greet at leaving, and his simple, earnest
nature was never more manifest.
Doubt never entered his mind during
his busy, worldly career. He died the
death Of Christian, in the perfect
faith of the saving grace of his Maker.
Mr.. Willard leaves wife and three
sons to mourn the loss of kind and
1ndulgent husband and father. Will
D. and Robert Willard were with
their mother at their fathers bed
side, but Hal Willard is in Seattle,
and has been telegraphed to.
Few men are held in such sincere
regard as Mr.. Willard was by all
classes. His life was busy one, and
success rewarded his undertakings in
a large measure up to 1892, when the
great depreciation in values set in
that ruined thousands of men that
were before accounted wealthy. Ee
was the soul of honor,and might have
prevented or delayed the necessity
of his assignment had he not pledged

Weyler to be Recalled

Madrid, October 1T is semi-offici-
ally announced today that Captain
General Weyler will be recalled from
Cuba this month inc that it is probable
the cortes will be dissolved in Deem
Der and a new parliament cOnvoked in
March.
Washington, October THE state
department has not yet been officially
Informed of the purpose of the Spanish
government to dissolve the cortes in
December, as indicated in Madrid ca
Diagrams. 1t was expected however
that it would be found necessary for
the abine to go to the country in
order to secure the support of a major
ity for the liberal policy toward Cuba,
inasmuch a. the present cOrtes has a
clear conservative majority whenever
that party's elements can be brOugt to-
gether. Disappointment is felt at the
remOte date set for the converting Of
the new cOrtes, for it is presumed that
any new programme for the settlement
Of Cuban affairs must be ratified by the
cOrteS and if this is not to meet until
next March, the long delay, it is feared,
will give rise to irritation and perhaps
be beyond the powers of endurance of
the present administration. 1t is pos
sible, however, that by a prompt decla-
ration of policy toward Cuba, couched
in such terms and made public in such
fashion as to bind the government be-
yOnd doubt, the delay will not be seri-

out possibly the chance of error, that
there is no possibility under h present

for such restoration. The attitude Of
Secretary Gage in the matter reflects
no doubt the views Of Mckinley. Gage
does not want and does not favor such
a consummation. His interview not

made about the intended action Of the

where he stands. He and Preston, the
