known newspaper editors in the
United States, died at San Antonio,
Tex, on the morning Of the 10th
inst, where he had gone on account
of his health. Mr.. Medill became
connected with The Tribune in
1855, and his financial interest con-
tinued in it up to the day Of
his death. Up to 1864 The Chi
cago Tribune was IL the same i'm
poverished condition as most of it's
Western contemporaries, but in that
same year The Tribune stockholders
struck a mine which quick y put them
on the road to prosperity. Horace
White, who was bright young man,
a graduate of Beloit college, and had
been holding a reportorial position
on The Tribune. was foI tunate IN Sc
curing the clerkship Of the senate
committee on ways and means, of
which Senator Grimes, of Iowa, was
chairman. This position gave young
White an inside knowledge Of legisla-
ton to be enacted. When it was deter
mined to put the So tax or whiskey,
White telegraphed to his Tribune
friends to invest every dollar they
could rake and scrape together in
highwines. This investment netted
an immense fortune, and the lucky
stockholders were enabled to i'm
prove the paper ard also invest
largely in availab bic realty, which at
that time was selling at extremely
low prices. At this time DR.. Ray,
a brilliant political writer, was the
editor-in-chief, but he, unfortunately,
invested all his money in oil stocks,
which resulted in his bankruptcy
Alfred CoWles, the financial secretary
OF the company, and Mr.. White
bought Rays stock, which gave them
the controlling interest, White as
Stunning chief editorial control. From
this time up to 1875 Joseph Medill
and Deacon Bross, both of whom
were heavy stockholders, had not
the slightest voice in the manage
ment of the paper. Their manu-
script was almost invariably con-
signed to the waste-paper basket.
White secured the services of James
Sheahan, whom Stephen A Douglas
brought to Chicago to conduct pa
per (The Chicago POST in his inter
ests, and made him his leading politi-
cal editor. From this time on The
Tribune grew IN popularity and its
cash dividends exceeded those of
most any other daily paper in the
United States. But it was not an
orthodox Republican paper. Be
tween its free trade sentiments and
Greeleyizing in 1872 it lost much
prestige with old-tim Republicans.
A few years after the Chicago fire Mr..
White disposed of his stock to Mr..
Medill, who was the nominal head
of that paper up to the time of his
death. He was elected mayor of
Chicago in 1871, but spent the last
half of his term in Europe, finding
the duties of the position more ardu
Gus and complicated than be had an
ticipated. Being man Of vast
wealth, and his well-known connec-
ton with The Tribune, naturally
gave him an influence which men of
much superior literary ability sell
dom attain to. But Mr.. Medill was
a good man. He never lost sight Of
the day when he was fettered and
chained by the demon of poverty,
and was ever ready to give a willing
ear and lend a helping hand to re-
lieve the poor and needy. He was
the stanchest and truest friend the
printers of Chicago ever had, ard
they have every reason to mourn Lis
! death.

SUElNG FOR A DIVORCE.
Mrs. May j. Fairfield Alleges Her Hns
band Struck and Beat Her.

In her complaint filed in the district
court yesterday Mrs May j. Fairfield
tells pathetic story of abuse. She de-
sires a. divorce from Frank w. Fair
field.
The complaint recites that the couple
married on August 10, 1896 and have
two daughters, Haidee, aged two years
and two months, and Annie. aged IA
months Cruel and inhuman treatment
are the grounds on which the COM
plant is based. Mrs. Fairfield alleges
that on January Il, 1899, her husband
beat, struck and bruised her. and that
on May /, 1899. he choked and slapped
her and further called her a : of -
of liar. She claims he is idle, profit
gate and dissolute and is possessed of
a violent and cruel temper and is with
out affection and not a fit person to
have charge of the children She also
says he is a strong, healthy man, capa-
BILE of earning 800 a month. She asks
that he pay 500 into court for the ex-
penses of the action, that he pay SIS
into court for the care of the children
during the tendency of the suit, and
that thereafter he pay her $25 a month
for the children. The court issued an
order to file the documents in the case
at the expense of the count, and an
other order giving her the custody of
the children until the suit is decided.

his friends.
Peter Karney, from whose home, at
S03 East Third street, Garvey was bur

have been all right"

SHIN PLASTERS NO GOOD
Postmaster Devine Does Not Be-
lieye With Other Officials.
MONEYORDERS ARE BETTER
Has No Sympathy With Eastern Officials
Who Are Agitating the Issu-
ance of Small Paper
Currency.

Many of the Eastern and some of
the Western postoffice officials are
stirring up an agitation to have the
government issue paper currency IN
sums less than 81. So strong has the
agitation become that it believed in
some quarters that the next congress
will authorize the issuance of these
shin plasters" as they We're once
called.
The argument advanced in favor of
shin plasters is that oftentime small
sums of money, wrapper up loosely and
placed in envelopes, are sent through
the mails, and that when the letters
reach their destinations it is found the
money had been lost.
If paper money in 10, % and 50-cent
values was issued, the postal officials
argue, no such complaints would be
made and no money would be lost, that
the public would be saved the bother of
sending small sums by the stamp or
money order methods, and the govern
ment would lose nothing, as the money
order department just about pays for
itself.
| Postmaster Devine, of the Anaconda
office, was seen yesterday in regard to
| the report. He stated that it was his
opinion that the shin plaster system
was not needed here.
There are very few small sums sent
out from here and we have never re-
| ceived complaint about the loss of
| Money" said Mr.. Devine. Several
times some of the boys have found
some money coming out of the enval-
opes and it was Immediately re-
iEclosed. The majority of the people
here send their amounts by money or
ders, and the system would not be of
| benefit in any way
| Mr.. Devine then showed the money
order report for the month. The list
of orders is large and the amounts
| range from SO cents up.
LAS you see.'' said Mr.. Devine. 'peo-
| pie send small amounts by the money
| order system, and they undoubtedly
consider it as being the best. We han
| die a large number of orders, and be-
lieve that few persons send cash
cash through the mails"
| When asked if the sale of stamps, to
be sent East for books and other
things, was large, Mr.. Devine said he
believed not as the people prefer to
send the money directly, so that they
would not be fooled by receiving the
answer: Sorry to inform you that
your stamps have not been received
Gene Rowe, the mailing clerk, who
has been a postoffice employee for the
past five years, said that as far as he
A could remember. only one complaint
/ had been received of money lost out
of envelopes.

4 tana hotel and through being handled

50-cent piece got out. 1t was after

ON THE COMSTOCK

Although the Cornstock market
continues rather dull, the prospects at
the front keep Frightening up. 1t is
now certain that electric power will
before long take the place of the old
fashioned system now in use at the
mines and mills. This will revolu-
tionize work along the lode. 1t will
enable the management Of the South
End and Middle mines to assist the
drainage plant now working so salts
factorily at the c. & c. shaft by the
installation Of a new line Of pumps ut
different points. When the water is
abated it will not take long to uncover
ore in some of the mines in the
drownedout districts. Large and val
liable deposits are known to exist in
Belcher and elsewhere, the extraction
Of which will put new life into the
business in all It's branches. During
the past week the elevator in Con.
Cal. Virginia has done excellent work
and the system adopted has proved a
success in every particular, 1t has
surprised a good many people who
have discounted its value from the
start, but as a rule this class of critics
