DEATH OF THOs. M'DOUGALL.
The Distinguished Attorney and Politician
Passes Away at His Country Home
From Overwork.

CINCINNATI, July 90. 0.--Overwork caus-
ed the death of Hon. Thomas McDou-
gall at II o'clock Tuesday night. The
sad event occurred at his summer resi-

family left Cincinnati for the summer
last Saturday, but the distinguished
lawyer took his business with him,
and was busy with his stenographer
all day Tuesday. In the evening he
complained of indigestion, and, leav-
ing the table before the rest of the
family, went to his room. His death
occurred at II o'clock, p. m.
The death of Thomas McDougall
closes the career of a most remarkable
man, and comes as a shock to the bar
and people of Cincinnati.
In politics McDougall was regarded
as the representative of the admins
tration because of his intimacy with
Mckinley, to whose gubernatorial
campaign fund he once contributed
very largely.
McDougall could have been a judge
of the United States supreme court,
but declined 1t. The only official po-
sition he had ever held was that of
elder of the First Presbyterian church,
of Walnut Hills, which he had been
since 1877.

a vacancy.
Another method of securing recruits
is to offer commissions to men other

furnish in each case not less than 40
men who can pass muster as soldiers
and will enlist for service in the Phil
ippines. There have been several
cases of this kind during the past
week. A former officer of the Texas
