The precautions against smallpox
epidemic took definite shape last week,
in the erection Of pest house in the Ely
woods west Of the city. The two men
who had been exposed were conveyed in
band wagon to the new structure,
where they are being cared for and
guarded by James Tyson and ]. M.
Freeman, sanitary inspectors. M. j.
Braman visits the place several times
day and takes orders for provisions.
The quartet are living high. ElabOr-
ate menues are prepared every day which
nearly knock the sanitary inspector
down. The men play cards and reading
matter galore will be taken over there.
Everything is being done toward max
ing the quarantine endurable and so far
all are rather enjoying the situation
except that the two prisoners object to
being shackled. As yet no symptoms Of
the disease are in evidence and II any
smallpox germs ever get into Elyria at
all, they are squelched in their infancy.
The pest house was constructed at the
expense Of the town and 1t will be q
permanent institution. The expense Of
maintaining the quarantines is borne by
the county in accordance with an agree
ment entered into between the Elyria
board of health and county cOmmiss-
toner's at a joint meeting held recently.

bed of large sum OF money in the oil
region in the western part Of the state
where he had gone expecting to invest
in the oil wells, and that he was still
partially under the influence Of a drug
administered to him before he was rob

had the appearance Of a man in that

1t be best to reserve judgement until we

Turney Burritt Wheeler was born in
Briton, o., May II, 1843, and died in
LaGrange, February 20, 1899. Mr..
Wheeler was united in marriage to Miss
Emily Bissel Of Granger, Medina Co., in
1866. His wife was called home July 26,
1880. January 25, 1882, he was married
to Miss Hattie A. Wilcox, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Wilcox. Of LAGRANGE,
who, together with his daughter and
son, by his first wife, brought light
again to his home.
Mr.. Wheeler was mustered into the
United States service at Elyria, o., Sep
tember 8, 1862, and became a member Of
company Il, 103, 0. V, l., remaining in
the service until the close OF the war,
and his patriotic, faithful and invalu-
able services to his country will ever be
remembered. He fought at the battles
Of East Tennessee, Knoxville, Arm
strong Hill, Resaca, Atlanta, Franklin.
Nashville, Wilmington, Goldsborough
and Raleigh. 1t was hoped by his
friends that the heroe Of somany we'll
fought battles would not have to surren-
der yet to death. But the strongest man
is finally weak; the bravest soul must
sometime be yanquished; his foe this
time was more formidable than ranks
bristling with steel. The veteran of hOt
compaigns had met an enemy toe
strong to be defeated.
The beginning Of the end was about
6 o'clock the morning before. The tide
Of life, which had risen and fallen &c
many times, and which during the day
had passed the food mark of hope, began
its final ebbing, which, to the eyes of the
watchers, would never be stayed again
It was a question now Of hours only
how long could the weakened frame
Withstand the gnawing Of his disease
Time only could give answer. Not thu
least Of the battles fought by Mr.
Wheeler was the one with disease anC
death. II was a battle to be proud Of
1t was an exhibition Of American plucl
and grit and uncOnquerable determine
tiOn In which his comrades must feel ,
reflected pride.
He hada great desire to live to see hi
absent daughter, but he could not holt
out till the coming Of his first born
The forces against him were too mig hty
All Of his family, except his eldes
daughter, were present at his bedside
and at twenty minutes Of 1, M0nda,
morning the end came, and was 30 quie
as to be almost imperceptible.

WHILE TIE ISLANDERS sympathies
are with the Beers in their hopeless
struggle against fEs British in South
Africa, it must, we think, be admitted,
apart from the question of sentiment
involved, that the greatest good Of the
greatest number will be subserved and
the cause of civilization best advanced
by the success of the British arms and
the triumph Of British policy. Pro-
gress, enlightenment and good govern
ment everywhere follow the British
flag, and these, all SO much to he de-
sired, seem to be foreign to tie Boer
nature. Nevertheless, we cannot con-
template the political extinction of a
peaceful, sturdy, Christian race, even
though obstinate, illiterate and unpro-
gressive, without feelings of compass
sion and regret.

IT is announced that Admiral Dewey
has decided to his rich wife the elegant
home recently purchased for him at
the national capital with funds OBJ
tanned by popular subscription. 1t is
the first act of the admiral's since the
battle Of Manila bay made him famous
the world over that has not raised him
in the estimation of the American peo-
pie. And the same great and gratified
people would have had much higher
opinion of his wife if she had refused
absolutely TO accept as gift the home
which they were quite willing that she
should share with her honored hus-
band, but the title to which it was their
undoubted wish should remain i'm the
admirals own name and after him be-
opme the property of his son.

put a real leader in the field?

IT is not easy to understand why it
should have required four hours time
for a jury Of presumably intelligent
men to return verdict Of murder i'm
the first degree against Al Hamilton
for the wanton killing of David M.
Woodbury. at Anacortes. HaIniltOn's
attorney proposes to appeal to the SUI
preme court and make an effort to OBJ
tain new trial and change of venue
for his client upon the ground chiefly
that Judge Houser committed an error
of law in refusing to grant change OF
venue when prejudice against the pris-
oner OH the part of the court was al
legged. The attorney comedies that it is
entirely discretionary with the court to
grant or refuse change Of venue when
community prejudice only is charged,
but he processes to hold the opinion
that when prejudice on the part of the
court is alleged the statute makes it
obligatory upon the court to either
grant the change as requested or call
another judge to try the case. 1t is
hardly likely that the supreme court
will sustain such view. 1t would be
unfortunate if it did, but inasmuch as
the question has been raised, it is well
to have it passed upon. Col. Lindsay,
Hamilton's attorney, admits, however,
that Judge Houser's rulings were fair
and impartial and that his client has
no reasonable ground for complaint on
that score. 1t is simply technical
question of statutory construction that
is raised and it looks like slender peg
for Hamilton to hang hope of miscar-
riage Of justice upon.

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, one
Of the ablest men i'm the Democratic

is very evident that the contest must
be again waged upon the tree silver
issue aud with the same candidate that
led the Is to party to defeat in 1896.
