these days. The statesmen who make up
the executive committee which is to have
charge Of the Republican campaign are
about the most enthusiastic crowd for
money that has been gathered together
for years. The practical politicians on the
committee are few, and the majority of
the thirteen have but faint ideas as to
the running of a campaign. The county
officials received notices yesterday that
they had each been assessed $3.50 for the
benefit of electing the candidates on the
city ticket. The requests for the $3.50 con-
tributions were sent to Ed Rogers, clerk
of courts; E. w. Bazille. judge of pro-
pate; h. q. krahmer. register Of deeds;
Horace e: Bigelow. county attorney, and

$3.50 to help elect candidates for city Of

FELL FROM SEAT IN WAGON

Almost at the completion of the days
work, August Hautkappe, q painter. liv-
ing at 527 Sherburne avenue, dropped dead
while driving en- Cedar street. near Fifth.
in his employers wagon, shortly after 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Death was
due to heart failure. When Hautkappe
collapsed in the wagon he was hurriedly
taken to the Clarendon drug store, Sixth
and Wabash streets, where he was ex-
amined by several physicians. but death
had been instantaneous, and he was be-
yond aid.
Hautkappe was in the employ of j. A.
Gamer, a decorator and painter in the
Union block, Cedar and Fourth streets.
Together with Clyde Babcock, driver OF
the wagon, and G. A. Kortsch, another
employe Of the firm, he had been at work
painting a house on the West side during
the day and reached the Union block
shortly before o'clock. There was an
urgent call for the completion of some
work on University avenue. so Haut-
kappe and Kortsch were sent to finish 1t
up before dark. The wagon had scarcely
gone half g. block when Hautkappe. with
out word Of warning. fell over head first
against the dashboard Babcock and
Kortsch lifted him to the seat, but found
him unconscious. They hurried to the
drug store, but there was no Sign Of
life after the stroke.
While the body lay stretched out in the
drug store Mrs Hautkappe and her
daughter, who had heard Of the husband
and fathers death, reached the place.
Their grief was pathetic. and an affecting
scene was witnessed. The body was re-
moved to Schroeder's undertaking rooms.
For sixteen years Mr.. Hautkappe has
been resident of this city. He is sur
vlved by wife and three grown children.
He was sixty-four years Of age and
German by birth. He had q severe at
tack of the grip last winter, from which
he had not fully recovered and the Ill
ness is believed to have been indirectly
the cause of his death.
Mr.. Hautkappe served some years in the
German army, and was veteran Of the
Franco-P -Prussian war.
