BAR RESOLUTIONS.

To the Honorable o. w. HI. Wright
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
of Hooking County and to the men,
bers of the bar of said County:
The Committee, appointed to pre-
pare and submit to minute and
memorial of the life and character
of Honorable Carl H. H. Buerhaus,
report as follows:
The subject of this memorial, Carl
H. III. Buerhaus was born at Circle
vile, Ohio, June 23rd, 1856,
His early education was obtained
in attending the Common Schools
where he soon cultivated taste for
solid reading. He was a man of
large attachments in many depart
ments of study, but he was especial
ly fond of history. In this line, his
reading was extensive and thorough
and his memory was so tenacious
that the acquisitions of the long
years of study were always at ready
disposal.
In the year 1874 he removed with
his fathers family to Logan where
he continued his study and reading,
utilizing all the moments which
were spared to him from his work In
his fathers tannery, in storing his
mind with useful knowledge. Mr..
Buerhaus soon made O host of friends

SHELTON, NEB., August 81, 1900
F. P. MAGEE, Macarthur, Ohio.
Dear Sir:-Will you please allow
me space in your paper, THE En-
oUIRER, to ask a question. Before 1
ask the question, 1 will say, that
during Grover Cleveland's admins
tration made a visit to my old
home, Wilksville, Ohio. While
there saw wool sell in old Wilkes
Vile for 20 to 22c per pound. / think
my brother, David Hawk, sold his
clip of wool when / was there to
Isaac Miller for 22c per pound. 1
was told by my brother and some
other Republicans there, that the
year previous they sold their wool
for % to 24c per Id. 1 was told by
Lyman Wells, John Harrison and
some other good Republicans of
Wilkesville that the decline i'm wool
was entirely due to the Democratic
Administration. Now Mr.. Wells,
Mr.. Harrison or any other good Re-
publican of Wilkesville, will you
please inform me through the COL
umns Of the ENQUIRER why our
sheep men here have good clips of
wool and are trying hard to sell it
but cannot dispose of it at any price?
Now, be honest and tell me if it is
your prosperous Republican admin
istration that has caused this great
decline in our farmers wool here
this year. Please answer soon and
oblige. Yours Respectfully,
j. M. HAWK.

go together to make a g"eat lawyer.
Following the advice of his friends
and the dictates of his own desires,
he commenced the study of law, un-
der John s. Friesner, and on June
23rd, 1877 ut the early age of 2l years,
and as a pleasing recurrence of his
birthday, he was admitted to the bar
Of Ohio. From this time until the
date of his death on Sept. 18th, 1900,
he continued steadfast in the pursuit
Of his chosen profession, which was
interrupted only by the demands
made upon him by the public to act
In its behalf i'm the administration of
public affairs.
AS lasting monument to the high
esteem in which he was held by the
public he was chosen by the vote of
the people to occupy many positions
Of honor and trust among which was
the office Of Prosecuting Attorney of
Hooking County to which he was
elected in the year 1880 and again
became the choice of his party and
the people to succeed himself in the
year 1882.
He was afterwards chos en- to rep
resent his constituents in the Ohio
General Assembly.
AS lawyer, Mr.. Buerhaus COM
manded the admiration not only of
his professional brothern, but also of
the public in general. His broad
metal grasp and great power of ana
lysis, enabled him to quickly and
fully comprehend the most profound
legal proposition. He was recogniz-
ed by all who knew him as one of
the greatest criminal lawyers in tie
state. In this branch of jurispru-
dence, his genius was remarkable 4.
His thorough command Of language,
his close reasoning, and his remark
able tact in the presentation of the
facts made him eminently successful
as jury lawyer. His demeanor in
tho trial and conduct of case was
especially worthy of praise and i'm
itation. No matter how important
the occasion, or how sharp the con-
flict, he was always genial and
courteous to his professional breth-
ern. and, at the same time, main
tained the cause of his client with
unfltnching energy.
His relations to the court were al
ways very pleasant. He was never
found wrangling with the court nor
was he at any time inclined to dis
regard or hold in contempt the courts
orders and decisions.
The last days of his life were spent
in long and bitter struggle with
that inevitable foe whose iron will
can never be moved by logic or elo-
quence.

but his memory will survive. for he
has builded a monument in the legal

Cure for Brarra 10.

President Jordan of Stanford univer-
sity, California, is hard worker him
self, and has but little patience with
person with indolent habits. In spite
of everything, however, the tasks i'm
posed on the youths under his care
have proven too much for them. Here
and there one or two would drop out
of the race and were soon forgotten by
almost everybody at the university.
These fallings by the wayside were the
subject of frequent thought on the
part of John J. Levin, chief electrician
of the university, whose misfortune it
was to have a special friend drop out
through inability to maintain the pace.
Mr.. Levin set himself to the task Of
discovering some way of giving back
ward students such aid as would pre-
vent them from falling behind. That
was five years ago, and Mr.. Levin is
now ready to give the necessary stimu-
lent in such cases. His Investigations

HITTING THE BRUSH,

have convinced him that electricity is
a sort of elixir of youth; that it, is
sure cure for brain fag, and that it will
nurture the mind of youth and stimu-
late the wisdom of age. Mr.. Levin
has ponderous and exact ways of de-
scribing just how all these miracles
may be performed, but the young men
at the university express the same
ideas when they refer to the treat
ment as hitting the brush" They
unanimously agree that by following
the electricians instructions the human
brains ability to withstand the fatigue
of labor is vastly increased. Those
who have taken the treatment are also
at one in the assertion that no harm
comes therefrom.

Minister Conger and Secretary of Lee

message reads: ''Al1 well; no fighting
since the 10th by agreement. Enough

This came through Consul General
Goodnow, who adds that he has re-
ceived an Imperial edict. dated July 80,
ordering Jung Lu to provide an escort
for the ministers to Tien Tsin, when
the ministers fix the date. The edict
says the ministers can receive messages
not in cipher, but, Notwithstanding
this, plain messages were returned to

General Sheridan ordered the pursuit,

petition was led by the late George
Crook, who effected meeting with
Geronimo March %, 1886. To the de-
mand for an unconditional surrender
the Apache chief declared that he
would give himself up only on con-
dition that the band, with its families,
be sent East for a period not to ex-
