PASSES AWAY AT HIS OSHKOSH
HOME.
"A VERY SUDDEN ENDING
What Seems to be Simple Bilious
Attack Produces Fatal Conse-
quences in the Venerable Patient
Remarkable and Eventful Career of
the Deceased.

Oshkosh, Wis, March 29.-Ex- Sena-
tor Philetus Sawyer died very I'M
expectedly early this morning from
heart trouble following what seemed
to be merely simple bilious attack
He came from sturdy New England
stock and was born September %, 1916,
in Rutland county, Vermont. Like all
boys of that period, he went to work
as soon as he was able on a farm, and
his means of education were meager,
consisting of a three months term
each winter in the district school.
When but seventeen years of age,
he struck out for himself and from
the savings of his labor as mill hand
he succeeded in taking two extra
terms at the district school When
he had worked ten years. he had saved
81, 0OO and in 1847 he migrated with
his family, which then consisted OF his
wife, himself and two sons, and set
tied in Fond du Lac county, this state.
After two unsuccessful years of farm
ing, realizing the possibilities OF the
Wolf river pineries, he sold his farm
and took up his residence in Oshkosh.
He plunged into the numbering BUSH
ness and his sagacity, his enterprise
and his energy soon made him one of
the most influential men of the state.
In 1856, he was elected to the legisia-
ture on the republican ticket, but he
declined a reelection for the next
term of the legislature. In 1860 he
again served in the legislature and in
1863-64 he was mayor of Oshkosh.
In the latter year he was nominated
and elected to congress and was re-
elected for four successive terms. In
1880 he was elected to the United
States senate and was reelected in
1887. In the house of representatives
and in the senate, he occupied an in
luential position. He was not
speaker, but he was man who bad
thorough grasp of legislative forces
and for whose opinion the great men
of the party had profound respect.
Since retiring from the senate he has
| been living quietly at home Only
| few weeks ago he visited Washington.

CIGARETTES TABOOED.
Weather Service Will no Longer Toll
crate Them. 4

Washington, d. c., Marca N.-A
death blow has been given cigarette
smoking in the weather service, when
Chief Willis L. Moore issued an order
prohibiting persons connected with the
service from smoking cigarettes during
office hours, and stating further, that
those who smoked cigarettes at any
time would be mentioned in the con-
ldential reports which are made quar-
terly to him by chiefs of the several
offices and divisions throughout the
entire service. The order is plainly
worded and the chief evidently means
that it shall be obeyed Chief Moore
says about it:
The order was issued after careful
consideration and a thorough investi
cation of the evils resulting from cigar
cite smoking. It will stand. In this
service we are compelled to maintain
very strict discipline in order to Sc
cure satisfactory service. Some OF the
men who are regarded as the most
thorough and competent, doing every
detail of their work with the utmost
promptness and accuracy, gradually
became careless and lax. l sent In
spectors to investigate and in number
of cases it was found directly attribut
able to the use of cigarettes. am not
prudish, nor do I assume any author
ity whatever over any privilege which
the employees Of the service should
have, but as a public servant | feel it
is my duty to correct any evil which
may exist if in attempting to make this
claim that I am overstepping my au-
, thority I can state most emphatically
/ that the order will stand and that it
applies to the entire force of the bureau
throughout the entire service. Cigar
cite smoking must cease. Cigars and
pipes are not barred.

SPEAKER HENDERSON JUsTIFIEs
PORTO RTCAN MEASURE.
CALLS 1T MOST sALUTARY
Says Bill Was Never so Misrepresent-
ed Before and That Trusts and
Syndicates Are Entirely Opposed to
Tits Provisions Explained and
Advantages Set Forth.

Dubuque, Iowa, March 29.-Speaker
Henderson has written to Ed. Knott,
United States marshal for the northern
district of Iowa, to show his position
and that of the other republicans of
the house who voted the passage of
the Porto Rican tariff bill, saying:
"First-There are large quantities of
tobacco and sugar in Porto Rico,
bought up by trusts and syndicates.
They want to get that into the United
States free from any duty, and when
once in, of course it will sell in the
and sugar which have to pay full tariff
rates, thus giving hundreds of thou
sands of dollars profit to syndicates.
The trusts and syndicates are fighting
the bill, and have given you the rea-
on why. There has not been, nor is
there now to my knowledge, a lobby
here working for the Porto Rican bill,
but these syndicates and the Goldfish
interests of New England and flour in
terests are all trying to get into Porto
RIGA without paying the Is Per cent.
duty on their product as proposed in
the bill.
Second Now why have we imposed
1iiiS Is per cent. tariff? Porto Rico is
poor and has been swept by devastat-
ing and destructive floods. Her peo-
pie are not in condition to pay the
expenses of their government No one
wants the United States to pay the ex-
pense Of their government. No one
wants the United States to pay for
running the government of any of our
several new possessions. The people
should pay their own expenses. Porto
Rico now has no local government and
we must first give her one. Both
houses of congress are at work upon
| that problem; in my opinion it will
take perhaps two years to formulate a
government and put it in running or
der, so that those people with their
| own government machinery may
raise the money to run
what should we do? Follow the adj
vice of syndicates and trusts and tax
| this desolate island or put this trifiing
duty upon their exports and imports,
and give every dollar of it back to them
to run their government This will
be felt by none except syndicates and
trusts, the rich interests that will do
the buying and shipping to Porto Rico
, Indirectly, of course, some of this will
be paid by the consumers but it will
, fall lightly upon them and the burden
be imperceptible, while a direct tax
would be simply brutal and inhuman.
The bill also provides that this
tax shall expire in two years. There
is no proposition to put a permanent
burden upon Porto Rico. Never was a
bill SO misrepresented. What the
senate is going to do is problematical
| It has it's share of towards. The SEN
ate is always the body upon which in
| terests concentrate their efforts to de-
| feat proper legislation"

More Room Needed a, the Public school.
The Public School needs more rooms
and more seats iu the rooms II al
ready has. We were surprised thr
other day to learn that this is really
the case aud that number of the pu
pills in some of the classes have to re
main standing during recitation. why
not use the study hall?" We inquired
but Prof Scott set us at rest on this
point by reminding us of what a dis
turbing element class would be,
taught before the large number of
pupils whose minds should be constant
ly directed to their books.
We think Mr.. SCOTS suggestion to
build room in the rear of the school
lot which could be used at present as
a recitation room, and hereafter as
the janitor's home, a good one, in neu
of the annex which cannot be com
pleted before next summer. The
classes are unusually large and the
teachersare conscientious and diligent,
and anxious for the best results, which
cannot be attained under present con
ditions. We hope the Board of Con
troll will see to this matter at once, as
prompt attention is necessary to avoid
crippling the school,
