GOV. PINGR.EE DEAD.
The Late Executive Passes Away in
London After Short Sickness.
What He Accomplished While Mayor OF
Detroit and Then as Chief Executive of
EIichigan-HIs Potato Patch Scheme
for the Poor's Benefit.

London, June 19.-Ex-Gov. H. S.
Plngree of Michigan, died here last
night. His son was the only one
present at the time.
The diagnosis made by London spe-
cialists of the cancerous affection of
the intestines from which Mr.. Pin
gree suffered, left practically no hope
for the patients recovery. Towards
the end of his illness Mr.. Pingree
suffered great pain and weakened
rapidly. He was unable to retain
nourishment. His mind, however, re-
manned fairly clear. During the whole
of yesterday he was practically kept
alive by injections of strychnine and
drugs administered to lessen his pain.
Young Pingree has wired his mother
and his uncle in the United States
not to come to London. The body of
the late Mr.. Pingree will be embalmed
and taken to his home.
Short Sketch of His Career.
Hazen Senter Pingree was born at Dem
mark, Me, in 1910. In 1862 he enlisted in
the First Massachusetts heavy artillery
and served until the end of the war,
when he located in Detroit, embarking in
the manufacturing of shoes. In 1889 the
republican party nominated eX-Gov. Pin
gree for mayor of Detroit and he was
elected by over 1000 majority. He was
reelected in 1891, '93 and '95 by increased
majorities each time. In 1896 Mr.. Pin
gree was selected as governor of Michi-
gan by $1,000 plurality. running ahead of
the national ticket by $4,000 cotes. He
was reelected governor in 1898 by about
10000 plurality and served out his term,
which expired in 1900. Last March he
started on the trip to South Africa which
resulted in his death in London.
EX-Gov. Pingree. while he was mayor,
accomplished many municipal reforms,
among others forcing the gas company
to lower their rates so cents per 1000;
establishing the public lighting plant; or
ganizing the Detroit railway on three
cent fare basis; lowering telephone rates
and breaking up a number of sewer and
paving rings that were thriving when he
came into office. His potato patch
scheme for the relief of the poor of the
city was extensively copied and brought
him much fame.
While governor Mr.. Pingree devoted
his energies toward securing a law tax
ing railroads and other corporate prop
erty on an ad Valorem basis instead of
specifically their earnings. His eff
forts resulted in the passage of a law
along these lines by the last legislature.

Must Buy or Move out.

In one day recently the Union Pa

of territory in western Kansas in
different lots. This is mostly grazing
land, and the fact that sales of that
magnitude are becoming almost daily
occurrences brings out sharply the
predicament in which the big cattle
men and extensive stock raisers are
finding themselves in the sunfower
state. Where not so many years since
they simply assumed the right to use
the western grazing lands, and where
just recently they were compelled
only to lease it from the railroads.
they now find themselves under the
necessity OF buying the land outright
if they wish to retain feeding ter
ritory sufficient for their stock.
