pELBERT S. MILLER.
Death Results Suddenly from Attack OF Tuber.
cuiosis.
Stevens Point journal,

oleFeHA IOlut JOuIn6A.
Delbert s. Miller died very suddenly
at 1915 this morning at the family
home at 728 Ellis street. He had been
a sufferer from tuberculosis, or at
least from lung trouble, for the past
seven years and two weeks ago at
Grand Rapids he was taken with a
sinking spell from which he had been
recovering nicely during the past few
days. His sister, Miss Libbie Miller
went down to see him last Tuesday
and by Friday afternoon he had
gained sufficient strength to warrant
his removal to this city. He was
brought up on the afternoon Green
Bay train and was able to walk and
help himself generally quite nimbly.
He was bright and happy during the
evening until nearly midnight when
he was taken with a series of coughing
spells. A physician was secured but
nothing could be done to relieve the
sufferer. 1t is believed that bis death
was due to suffocatiOn as the result Of
an internal hemorrhage.
The deceased was born in Grand
Rapids, on Dec. Is, nearly % years
ago. lie was one of q pair of twins
but the other boy died seven years
ago of appendicitis. The family home
has always been in Grand Rapids until
a year age in August when they moved
here to give the younger children the
advantages of Stevens Points superior
educational facilities. Delbert has
continued to spend a large part Of his
time in that city, being engaged 'aS a
bOOkkeeper and in other avocatiOns.
For the past several months, however,
he has been unable TO work on account
of his health.
The deceased is survived by two
sisters and two brothers. Mrs. F. X.
LeuSchen Of DeXterville, Miss Libbie
and Grant and William of this city.
The funeral will be held at the house
Monday morning at $50 o'clock, Rev.
w. A. Hall officiating, in the absence
of Presbyterian pastor. The body
will be taken to the cemetery at Grand
Rapids by team. The burial service
at the grave will be conducted by Rev.
Peterson of the Grand Rapids NJ. e,
church.

Brief Local Review of the Campaiqn.
Gov r. NJ LaFollette Upheld by the People Spite
of the Great Opposition

Now that the election is over and
the people have given their emphatic
endorsement of Gov. Robert NJ. La
Toilette and the rest of the Republican
ticket, it may be of interest TO review
some Of the attempts in this county
10 defeat lhe victorious candidates
and the principles for which they
STOOD. 1ne most intense and mali.
clOuS opposition comes from the united
efforts of Cooley and Miss Emmons.
Their aim from the very beginning of
the campaign was to defeat the entire
Republican ticket and play into the
hands of the Democrats. is doubt
ful whether even the worst element
of Democratic party appreciated this
aid. Following are few samples of
COoley-MiSS EmmOnS iSms:
The governor is plainly the most
tyrannical man that ever filled the
executive chair in this state.
owing to the influence he has with
many of his misguided followers his
rule or ruin attitude may bring about
the defeat of his party in the state.
They (StalwartS) will not submit
to Lat'ollette's arrogant dictation,
and the democrats have certainly
occasion to rejoice over the Oppor-
tunity thus presented them of profit
ing by the bitter strife i'm the
republican party.
1--WE have before remarked that
many of Governor r. M. LaFollette'S
reform ideas are crude in the extreme
and the laws that he suggests would
not accomplish the reforms desired.
1T behOOveS every republican to
take OF his coat and work for the over
throw of the tyrant.
1T Will be an end to one man power
in the Republican party of this state
and every republican who has the
welfare of The party at heart should
rejoice over the result.
1T is certain Mr.. Mathie will
receive large number of republican
votes.
THE facts that Senator Spooner
has announced his intention of again
becoming candidate for senator, is
thought to mean that he sees a stall
Wart victory on the political horizon,
as he has no hope of support from the
LaFOllette wing of the party.
1T certainly looks today as if the
idol of the LaFOllette worShippers
has been irretreviably shattered.
ut is expected that LaFollette'S
characteristic outbreak at Appleton
last Saturday will cost him many a
vote in this state. Democrats openly
rejoice over it, while republicans who
are not LaFollette may greatly depl0re
the incident.

 Destroyed.

Florence. March 1s.-(Special.)-Fire de- ptroyed seven double tenement houses in furnace row in East Florence yesterday. The fire originated in a hue and soon spread very rapidly. Water connections could not be made at first and dynamite was used to separate the buildings. but to no avail. Nine houses were in the row and the seventh was burning when the water connections were made, and the fire extinguished at once. The loss is from $2.5O0 to 5000. with about $2,200 in saved. and corpse which was in one of were the property of the SIoss-Sh ffleld Iron and Steel Company. A negro was in the house that was dynamited, but he was not seriously injured.
 An interesting case that has been on the docket since 1897 was decided in the Circuit Court yesterday. and Clarence Burks was fined $25 and costs for dis turbing religious worship. Burks went to church in an intoxicated condition and the ministers plea was so persuasive that he soon became happy and began praying and shouting. He went out te bring in his brother to be converted. but at the same time put two rocks in his pocket. Upon returning he was ever more enthused and the minister went to pray with him. but left him when he ter's assistant volunteered to put out the drunken man. who then became sober and rode off. Burks then fled to Tennes- see to evade the law, but two bills were found against him there and he came back to Alabama as the lesser of two evils. and was captured only day or two ago.

Dallas County Finances.


 An impression has gone abroad that Dallas County's Board of Revenue is paying out $e,000 per annum for main- taining the poor of the county. Such is not the case. Judge P. H. Pitts this morning furnished the following figures from the records, which will throw a great deal of light on what the Board of Revenue is doing. At the same time the statement reflects credit on the economi- is being expended:
 Dallas County has paid system of road overseers. During the year 1901 the sum of $637. $ was paid to them for hav- ing the public roads properly looked af- ter, and under this system Dallas has better roads than it has ever had before. The sum of sS1567 was paid for tools for working the public roads, For bridges including the salary of the bridge super intendent, which Is s75 per month. tabor and material the sum of s. .4s1.54 was expended. Ten new bridges were built and twenty-nine old ones were repaired, and frst-class material was used in all of them.
 The maintenance of the poor has cost the county $S,b1L30. and $234.S3 has been paid out for the burial of paupers. Of the $3,51730. s75 per month goes to the United Charities. This organization takes care of the poor in the city and those in the county who come to the Infirmary for treatment The county does not maintain a poor house and the above sum is con- sidered far below what a poor house would cost. as the expense of a keeper Is done away with.
 Very few counties of the size of Dal- las can show such a record as the above In fact. those in a position to know. pos itively assert that there is not a county in Alabama the size of Dallas that main- tains its roads. it's poor. and keeps up its bridges as cheaply as Dallas
