DEATH OF DR.. RREEN.

Saturday morning Mrs. DIR. T. H.
yer to the effect that her husband was
very low and she had better come. 1t
was just after the train had departed
and she was compelled to wait until
Sunday morning, arriving in Denver
this morning, but too late 10 find her
life companion alive, the doctor hay
ing died at noon yesterday.
While fearing the worst the first
news the daughters received was this
morning from Mrs. Breen. merely stat
ing the facts and saying she would
wire later.
DR. Breen went to Denver some two
weeks ago for the purpose of having
an operation performed, having felt
the necessity of such a course for some
time owing to poor health largely
brought about by conditions which a
successful operation would relieve.
The operation was performed about a
week ago, and for time the patient
felt relieved for some days. In fact,
he was able to sit up in bed and had
written a letter home, but he took a
turn for the worse and began sinking
rapidly. his constitution being too
weak to stand the strain, death result
ing as above.
What disposition will be made of the
remains is not announced, no further
message having been received since
morning, 1t is likely they will be
brought to Durango. howe c', prob
ably arriving tomorrow event. &.
DIR. Breen was well known in Du-
rango and this southwest So Il IN, hay
ing been iperintendent a the Fort
Lewis Indian school for tea cr twelve
years prior to last June, 80 .ng pre-
yiously been superintende ~ the In
dian school at Grand Junction, and in
the Indian service for many years.
His family consists OF Mrs. Breen, four
daughters, Bessie, Honor Lucy and
Catherine, and one son. Harry, about
seven years of age, We understand
several brothers and a sister also sur
vive him.
All have the sympathy OF many Du-
range friends in this their hour OF
great sorrow.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The members Of the Tyler
Comfy Exposition and Fair asso-
iation are working like beavers
for the SUCCESS of the twenty-sec-
ond annual exposition which will
he held at Middlebourne August
30 and 81 and September l and
2. Artistic advertising matter
has been posted throughout the
surrounding country and the Of
Rcials are now busy sending out
premium lists to every person
who may be interested in the fair.
The speed program is a very elab-
crate one this season. There will
be trotting, pacing and running
races, and as very generous purses
have been provided, it is certain
that the list of entries in each
list will be lengthy.
Aside from the usual exhibits
of live stock, products of the farm
aid workshop, there will be many
special attractions at the fair that
will repay any person for going
miles to see. There will be any
number of good tented attractions
on the grounds, while the assocla-
ton has secured two sisters who
sHill make a double balloon ascen-
sion each evening.
The association has large
force of men at work putting the
grounds in shape for the coming
exhibition. New buildings have
been erected, the old ones repair
ed, walks repaired and the track,
which has been enlarged, is now
one of the finest IN the State.

AT this writing both parties are
confidently counting upon carry
ing Indiana. One reason why the
Democrats are cock sure is that
Thomas Taggart, who is directing
the campaign for Parker and Da-
Wis, halls from there. A second
warrant for the belief is that the
Gold Democrats are focking back
to the party standard. This ele-
ment is small but influential. Its
poll for Palmer and Buckner in
1896 was 2145 in a total of 554,
900. Its microscopic size prevent
ed the placing of another ticket
in the field when Bryan ran the
last time. 1t is true that thous-
ands of candidates, to make sure
of the State giving it's electoral
vote to Mckinley and Hobart, but
they cannot be classed as good
Democrats. Indiana in 1892 gave
Cleveland her electors by a little
over 1000 plurality. In 1896 it
reversed this action and placed
her approval on Mckinley by the
lead Of $4,000. Four years after
this was increased to $4,000. The
latest test of it's political bent was
two years ago. when 10000 plu-
rality was added to the $4,000
assembled in 1900. The Republi-
cans point to the continued as
cendancy of the party the past
twelve years and the growing
victories in every contest and be-
lieve the reaffirmation of faith IN
its policies will be more pronounc-
ed this year than in the last two
Presidential campaigns. Indiana
is adding to her electorate about
10000 year. This will bring
10000 new voters to her enroll
ment who had no voice in the de-
cision of 1900. They easily hold
the balance of power. Whom will
the majority favor. Whoever can
prognosticate this can tell for
certainty in whose column In
diana will be. found in Novem
Der.
