STARTLING NEWS OF HIS SUDDEN
DEATH AFTER II O'CLOCK
LAST NIGHT.
Cause of Demise Was Heart Failure
Died in Twenty Minutes After At
tack-Chief Justice of the State of
Wyoming With Distinguished
Record.

The startling news of the sudden
OF the state supreme court, was received
at the Tribune office last night about
1880 o'clock. Judge Conway has had
repeated attacks of la grippe during the
past several years and a month ago
was taken with another attack. which
was complicated with catarrh of the
respiratory tract and the gastro-intes-
final tract. Twice during his last ill>
ness he suffered from shortness OF
breath due to weakness of heart, but
from which he recovered quickly.
About II o'colck last night. shortly af-
ter retiring, he was again seized with
shortness of breath and pain in the
region OF the heart. He arose quickly
and was assisted by Mr.. Wilkcrson to
a chair, in which he died in less than 20
minutes, without any complaint or ap-
parent suffering.
He had been comparatively well dur
ing the past week and had attended to
ooAAC pup 'phit hholllN0S. 1NotVl-
day a number of people called and con.
,versed with him and he seemed in
good spirits and spent the day pleasant
ly, there being no indications of sue,
den termination of an illness that had
apparently passed to Il convalescent
stage.
Judge Conway was elected associate
justice Of the state supreme court at
our first state election and had served
nearly seven of the eight years Of his
term. From the beginning of this year
he has been chief justice. His work in
the supreme court has commended him
most highly and he had the respect and
confidence of all. His sudden and I'M
timely death will be mourned by a large
circle of personal friends and the su-
preme court will miss an honest, fear.
less and faithful member.
Judge Conway was about 60 years
Of age at the time of his death. For
the past few years he has made his
home with his sister, Mrs. Eugene
Wilkerson, at the cOrner of Twenty,
third and Ferguson streets. lie has a
brother at Elk mountain, in Carbon
county. who was telegraphed for last
night.
1t Is understood that the members OF
the Laramie county bar will meet today

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed But Look fol
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the result
Of weak stomach. of poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case of a hundred OF
heart trouble. is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves. the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by hat form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing of opposition and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the distend-
ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action: hence
arises p%alpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation. like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
gestive elements, in a pleasant convent
ent form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
%sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form OF
stomach trouble. except cancer of
stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets
sold by druggists at so cents.

Sexton Otterson reported a number
of lots sold but no money received, and
this state of facts called forth comment.
Mr.. Arnold stated that under the last
administration he bought a lot in the
cemetery and paid cash for it. He be-
lieved that was the proper policy and
commended the former administration
for its business sagacity.
Mr.. Fee said there was a potter's
field for those who could not afford to
pay for lots. After some further dis,
cussion of the matter the clerk was in.
structed to drop a letter to those who
had purchased lots telling them their
deeds were ready for them. Here
after the sexton will collect upon the
purchase Of lots.
The report OF Police Justic Fitch was
hen read, showing collections in the
total sum of $472.3O, and the marshal's
report showed total collections from all
sources Of $2,15O.3O. The report of the
justice was not read in detail. as usual,
and together with the other reports it
was referred to the chairman Of the
finance committee, who slipped them
all into his inside pocket, even refus-
ing at the time to permit a member OF
the council or The Republican represen.
tative a glance at the items on the JUS,
tice report.
A blank contract for lighting the city
was submitted, read in detail and dis.
cussed. AS submitted, it bound the city
to a term Of five years from January l,
1898, land till otherwise agreed" The
words land till otherwise agreed" were
stricken out. as it was thought that
they might have the effect of perpetual
ing the contract. The contract was fin.
ally ratified by a vote which was un-
animous except Mr.. Grant, who ex,
planned Thai as he was a member of the
light company it would moi be proper
for him to vote on the question. Under
the new contract the city will pay about
the same total sum each month for
light as it has been paying, and the
council has also taken upon itself the
responsibility Of binding future coun>
ellis for five years to come.
TWO ORDINANCES.
Mr.. Grant introduced an ordinance
prohibiting the sale or furnishing of
liquor to minors and habitual drunk
ards. The penalty ranges from $40 to
$50 fine and from 10 to so days in Jail.
Minors are prohibited from visiting
places where intoxicating liquors are
sold under a penalty OF from IS to $50.
Mr.. Grant explained that the ordinance
followed the state law Of 1891. II was
passed by a vote which was unanimous.
Mr.. Grant introduced another ordin>
ance. which he said had been prepared
at the request of Marshal Stirling, de-
filming Migrants and fixing penalties. 1t
is Of an ironclad nature and will permit
the police to reach almost m person
who habitually loiters about saloons
and the streets without visible means
Of support. The penalty is from IS to
$50. Under this law the marshal be-
lieves he will be able to extern inmate

necessary, one month ought to be
enough. He asked the mayor II inter-
ested parties had been notified and II
they had been given the further noti-
fication that they would not be prose-
cuted for playing cards for cigars, drinks,
etc. The mayor and marshal both re.
piled that those interested had been
informed that the ordinance would be
enforced. and Mr.. Stirling was quite
vehement in stating that no one had
been given pointers that they could
play for drinks and cigars. Mr.. Hasset
said 1t vas a well-known fact that
playing Of this character vas being con-
Quoted all over the city, and Mr.. Arnold
then took him to task for not reporting
it, saying that it was his duty as a
councilman to complain Of such things;
II the evidence could be secured prose-

act as a spotter.

Mr.. May moved a reduction Of 10 per

Mr.. Hassett had the understanding
