story out to the effect that r. A. White
of the Anadarko Tribune succeeds Fred

that no change in the secretary of the

from Washington, inspired by what is be-

.ARCBBISHOP KATZER DEAD.
Illness 81 Ten Months Aggravated by
Troubles I'm His see.

FOND DU Lac, Wis, July 20.-After an
illness extending over period Of ten
months, Archbishop Matter died at St,
Agnes's convent in this city tonight at
$40 o'clock. The Archbishop came to
Fond du Lac about four months ago for
rest and treatment, but it was soon learned
that there was no hope for him.
The Archbishop retained all his faculties
to the last. 1t is believed that the work
Of the diocese and worry incident to IL
fastened the end. One OF the things which
caused him annoyance was the libel suit
and action for damages brought by Father
Hellsters and which case was to have been
tried at tho next term OF the Circuit Court
here.
Papers were served on the Arch bishop
after coming to the convent and the thought
of being taken into secular court seemed
to have a depressing effect on him.
The remains will be taken to Milwaukee
next Monday, whore they will lie in
state at the Cathedral till 10 o'clock on Thurs
day morning. Mass will be celebrated.

with rife and two pistols, and was never
seen without them. Growing worse. he
chained Hendrick and Drew to their hunks
They were kept chained for four days,
when Capt Merritt informed them that
they were to be turned adrift in the mid
