Death of w. Z. Buckingham.

Early Friday morning, soon after
the midnight hour, W. L. Bucking-
ham succumbed in his fight with
death and passed to the great beyond
peacefully and without pain. For
several months IL has been a hard and
determined battle on his part to fight
off the grim destroyer and his indom-
liable will had much TO do with the
prolonging Of his life.
Tuberculosis was the cause OF his
death and for several years past had
been increasing its hold upon him.
The best medical aid was enlisted for
him, but without avail. Friday
brought the elimination, so much
dreaded and yet expected.
During his residence here Mr.
Buckingham made many happy and
close friendships, and his taking away
is a source of deep sorrow to those
who admired him as a true, patient
and noble young man. His mother
came here short time ago from her
home in Wisconsin and was with him
during the latter portion Of his de-
cline in health. To her, and his
brother, 3. l.. Buckingham, and to
the other relatives here, the REGISTER
joins with their friends in extending
deep sympathy and coincidence in this
dark hPur Of grief and mourning. His
was true aud good life and the here
after had for him no fOreboding aspect.
"Eddie," as he was familiarly
known, was born in Ft. Atkinson,
Wis, March !, 1873. He received his
education IN the public schools and
made that city his home until coming
to Brookings, about two years ago,
in he hope Of improving his health.
The disease had gained too strong a
hold and nothing could be done to
circumyent the grim destroyer Of
mankind. During his residence here,
when his health would permit, he
assisted his brother in the restaurant
business
The body was taken to Ft. Atkin-
son, Wis and was accompanied by
the mother and brother. Brief ser
vices were held at the residence on
Friday afternoon by Rev w. M. Jen.
nings. In the evening the ritualistic
services OF the /. O. R, of which dec
eased was a member, were held and
the lodge escorted the remains TO the
evening train for the east.

The house and senate committees
on taxes and tax laws are likely to
be the two most important commit
tees of the two branches of the next
Minnesota Legislature, on the prob
ability that there will be a strong
attempt to get through some tax
legislation. The judiciary commit
tees are'alwavs important, but at
the next session the tax committee
will be particularly SO. That the
best men should occupy the places
on those two committees, and that
every interest should be represent
ed, there can be no room for doubt.
