Phillip WeidenfeIler Dies Suddenly.

+, is sad duty to record the death
of Mr.. Phillip Weidenfeller, which
occurred at his home in this city at
l0:30 Tuesday evening, Feb. 9th.
About two weeks ago his left hand
became numb, the affection pro-
gressed until his entire left side
became paralyzed, and fiji ally the
stroke reached Vital parts and death
resulted.
Mr.. Weidenfeller was born Sept. 3,
1922, at Hubingen. Nassau, Germany.
He emigrated to America in 1851,
and arrived in Mineral Poiut in 1852,
where he has since resided. May q
1858, he married Miss Eva Fritch,
who survives him,
Nine children were born to them,
six SONS and three daughters. One
son died in infancy. Five sons and
three daughters now living are {:

tumwa, Ia, George in Chicago, Mrs.
Matt Smith in the town Of Kendall,
Mrs. VIM. Fleischman in Chicago,
Francis c., Phillip II. and Miss Ger
trude in Mineral Point.
Decaas followed his business as
a painter and decorator. in which he
was thoroughly trained. A man Of
quiet manner, courteous to all who
come within his acquaintance, just
in all his dealings ana exemplary IN
habit, he could but win general re-
pect and confidence in the commu-
nifty where he lived SO long and his
good qualities were known.
He will be buried with all the
honors of the St Joseph society Of
It. Mary's Catholic church Of which
he had been an active member ever

A novel, If not entirely new, method
Of obtaining power has been proposed
by DR.. o. Zimmerman, OF Ludwigs-
hafen, on the Rhine. His scheme is
to take advantage Of the difference in
dilation of liquids between the tenn
perature limits Of freezing and boil
ing. This difference in water is AZ
per cent. The doctor explains his ideas
FULLY in a pamphlet published by the
Arm Of R. ~Oldenburg. of Munich, in
which he points out how hydraulic
lifts, pumping engines, and even ma
rine engines might be constructed on
his plan, for which he has secured
German patents, but the thing most
important to demonstrate in such a
case is its practicability and this. per-
haps, can be only shown by its appli-
cation on an extensive scale.-Phila-
delphia Times.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
passed his 18th birthday on the 29th
of August. He is M of the grand old
men of America, Once in a while, as
old men are SO fond of doing, he gets
at variance even with himself, but. his
life has been n of great power for
good. At the time the Philippine ques-
ton was under discussion in congress,
Senator Hoar stopped long enough in
his advocacy of the independence of
the Filipino to remark hat he noticed
that he was associated with about all
that was vile in the democratic and
populist parties. Since the old mar
took that reckoning. he has seemed to
improve. and it is not improbable that
he has many years of usefulness before
him.

THERE is HOPE.

The terrible tragedy at Buffalo has
able gloom. Every patriotic eye is
dimmed and every loyal heart is ach-
ing.
For the third time in forty years the
president of the freest government on
earth has been shot down by an assas-
sin. The immortal Lincoln's death
was expected. Indeed, it was a matter
Of surprise to half the nation that he
was permitted to life so long. Inter
necine strife had brought the republic
to such a conditi4n of anarchy that lit
tie value was plac4i upon human life,
and plots for thu destruction of the
president were d~pnstantly coming to
the knowledge 4 the secret service.
Yet his 6eath WIS no less mourned bs
Al loxs2Asar4t and his life is now a
ssdfce dpssrest rejoicing throughout
the nation, even to the people of Dixie
land.
President Garfield's death was less
tragic, but he was deeply mourned by a
loving people. Guiteau was a maniac,
Wilkes Booth a frenzied assassin, fired
by his impetuous zeal to overthrow the
union. Booth had a purpose, but all
that can be said Of the man who has
shot down President Mckinley is that
he is a red-banded anarchist mem
Der Of a society that should nave no
place upon this earth. Men who will
band together for the purpose Of TAX
Ing the lives Of others should them
selves be hunted to their death, and
their badge Of membership should be
sumcient cause for wiping them out.
AN y for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth"
Let the anarchists be squelched.
and our immigration laws so amended
that 1t will be impossible for another
to ever set foot upon American soil.
President Mckinley is nearer to the
hearts Of the people than any president
since Lincoln. and he has a confidence
In their loyalty and integrity that is
supreme. He has waved aside all sug-
gestions of personal protection and has
gone among the people as any plain
citizen would do. This confidence has
almost cost him his life, not at the
hands Of an American. but through the
bullet of a~man nurtured in anarchy
and having nocAipg in common with
our free institutions.
The news today is good. and an anx.
ious. loving, patriotic people have rea-
son to hone for the best.

THE IRON MOUNTAIN TROUBLE.

The officials Of Laramie county seem
entirely unable to ferret out the often,
ders against the majesty of the law in
the vicinity Of Iron Mountain. One
boy has been killed, his father serious
ly wounded and another party notified
to leave the country.
The trouble is the old range Ques-
ton between the cattlemen and sheep
men. The country around Iron Noun
tain has been the home of small cat.
tlemen and nom has introduced sheep
In that section till within the past
year. The bringing in OF sheep agra
waited the bad blood that had already
been engendered and an open rupture
was the result.
Legally the public range is open to
all, but there is an equitable and moral
line drawn between the lands of the
cattlemen and the sheepmen from one
end Of the state to the other, and it
must be recognized just as long as the
present method Of leaving the range
open to the free use of all is in vogue.
It is well known and generally ac-
%Quiesced in that the man owning q few
head of cattle must have range for
them or quit the business and lose his
belongings, and 1t is likewise conced-
ed that to crowd him with sheep till
he is goaded to desperation is an act
for which the owner of the sheep must
be held morally if not legally RESPONSE.
BILE. II by his act he brings upon him
self an assault, or is punctured by an
a~ssassin's bullet, the people are slow
to sympathize and feel that what the
law could not do has been lone outside
of the courts.
Until some system is devised where
by the range can be fully controlled by
the state and each s%tockraiser given
some sort Of title to the land he re-
quires, the lines established by usage
apd generally recognized should be re-
ligioasly regarded, to the end that
peace may be maintained.
Both the cattlemen and the sheep
men have moral rights and obligations
beyond the Jurisdiction Of the courts
which each is bound to respect.

RABIES IN PARIS.
Some Alarming Statistics Issued by
Veterinary Surgeons.

a report has Just been issued by
the veterinary surgeons Of Paris and
the department of the Seine, from
which the Matin extracts some rather
alarming statistics on the subject Of
hydrophobia During last year the
disorder was rampant in all the ar
rondissements Of the capital and in 50
suburban communes.
In Paris itself the number of dogs
and cats killed as mad numbered sos,
and in the suburbs, 3oS, a grand to-
tai Of 807 cases, which is some 200
above last years number. It may
safely be said that no other town in
Europe can show such figures. Mad
ness has not only not iini nished, but
has increased TO an alarming degree.
Its true that 1888 dogs have been
captured on the public roads, but al
though this number seems consider
able, it does not form a large proper
tion Of the total number of dogs in
the city. The wandering population
Of dogs in Paris is 50 large that the
Matin fixes 80, 900 as hennmber that
ought to have been caught during the
year. Until a muzzling order is put
in force, or until it is enacted that
dogs must be kept in proper control,
it it is not easy to see how matters can
be bettered. Here are a few figures
concerning the accidents Of last year:
Eight hundred and seven mad dogs
or cats bit ,597 animals of the same
species. Both biters and bit were in
every case destroyed according to law.
Among other animals, eight horses,
one COW and two goats were also bit
ten; these were all put under surVeil-
lance. Besides these, one horse, one
COW and a donkey were slaughtered
after showing symptoms Of mad
ness.
Humanity suffered even worse.
There were 1854 accidents to people
that might easily have been ayerted by
the adoption Of the measures indi-
Gated above. Nine people il all died
from hydrophobia, three women and
six men, all belonging to the depart
ment Of the Seine.
