divided equally between Wright

growing out of a special election
held in Wayland township for the
Office of clerk and ex-officio as
SCISSOR in which Wright received

Wright raised the cry of ''fraud, y
which finally terminated in a

defeated Cupp on the face of the

A telegram from Rev. VIM. b.
Hamilton of Chicago, on Saturday
morning, conveyed the sorrow-laden,
though not altogether unexpected an
nouncement that his father, DR.. James
Fletcher Hamilton, had peacefully
passed away at an early hour that
morning. The melancholy intelligence
spread rapidly throughout the city,
and expressions of heartfelt sorrow
were universal. 1t is accorded to few
men TO enjoy in such unlimited meas
ure the reverent affection of all classes
in community as did DIR. Hamilton.
The admiration of his profound learn
ing, his spotless character AID his gen.
Utility of person was shared by all who
ever came in contact with him-and
yet above and beyond all these there
exists deep affection for the man, and
his death is felt as personal bereaye-
ment to each and every resident.
1t would be difficult matter to an
aylize the character and specify the
reasons for the tremendous influence
exerted by this remarkable man-to
explain why he had impressed himself
SO forcibly upon all who fell within
the influence of his personality. He
was remarkably reticent and retiring
never thrusting himself or his opin-
ions upon anyone except when occa-
sion demanded, and SO unostentatious-
ly and modestly that one wondered at
the conviction his utterances carried.
His very simplicity was convincing.
Underly ing everything he said or did
was genuineness, sincerity which
none might question. His life was a
living exempiifcation of that message
of his Master which he was ordained
to preach and to teach. "A singleness
of purpose characterized his life-to
make people better and consequently
happier.
A pervasive earnestness of purpose
was always apparent. Whatever his
hand found to do he did it with his
might. In every relation in life he
discharged his duties faithfully and
intelligently.
While the loss falls heavily upon
the entire city, yet it is felt most keen
ly by his parish, of which he has been
rector for nearly twenty years. Every
member revered him. AS preacher
he had wonderful power. His schol-
arship and perfect command of Eng
lish, supplemented by a terseness and
dignity of style, cha rmed all who lis
tened to him. A finer sermonizer
could not be found in the northwest.
Speaking always without notes or
memoranda, he never for an instant
lost the thread of his discourse nor
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1902-01-16

well as his sterling honesty, hopeful
optimism and unfaltering devotion
of his official and family duties.
The final sickness of the deceased
dates from January rs, 1901, when he
was taken with dropsy and heart COM
plications. During the entire year he
had been confined to his home for the
greater part of the time, suffering
much from difficulty in breathing and
with incidental troubles, but the inn
mediate cause of death was acute di-
lation of the heart. Wednesday night
his condition was such as to arouse
the gravest apprehensions, but at the
request of Mrs. Barnum, newspaper
mention of the fact was omitted as he
insisted on reading the daily papers to
the last. Rev. H. f. ParShall, rector
of ST. Johns church of which Mr..
Barnum had long been an active MEM
Der, went to the Barnum home for
the night yesterday afternoon and
death, which was painless and which
followed an attack of coughing at 2
O'Clock this morning, occurred in the
presence of Mrs. Barnum and Mr..
/ Parshall. He had attempted to per-
form the duties Of his Office at the
November term Of the district court
but had been compelled by his condi-
tion to retire to his home. On Tues
day Of this week, in the absence of his
J faithful deputy, Herman Mueller,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1902-01-16

who was attending an adjourned term
of the court at Sank Centre, Mr.. Bar
mum spent a few hours at his Office at
the court house, being driven in car.
riage to and from the Office. Realiz-
ing his condition, early in the week he
had expressed wish to tender his re-
signatiOn to the judges of the district
court, and had sent for Judge Searle
to advise with him. The court had,
however, cheered him with the ex-
pressed hope that he would live for
months and the resignation was not
made. In his last hours, Mr.. Barnum
expressed the hope that Mr.. Mueller
would be appointed to serve out his
unexpired term as clerk of court.
For thirty years the deceased had
been prominent figure in the bust
ness and political life of his county
and state. Locating at Sank Centre
in 1867, he was the candidate OF the
Democracy of the state in two cam
paigns for the honorable position of
lleutenant-governor. In 1880 he was
pitted against Lieut.. Gov. c. A. Gill
man of ST. Cloud for the Office and
after his defeat he sued for a writ of
mandamus in the supreme court of
the state to prevent his competitor
taking the seat, on the grounds that
his membership in the legislature pre-
vented his occupancy of the dual posi-

The flag at half-mast on the Stearns

Mr.. Barnum had died at 2 o'clock
this morning at his residence, No. 23O
