On March rs, 1887, he married Miss
Bertha NJ. C~ruikshank, VINO survives
him, and to whom were born five chill
dren-a daughter and four sons, Miss
Shirley being now 16 years of age and

and Fifth.
President Lewis was elected presi-
dent of the University Of Wyoming
September Z, 1908, succeeding Presi-
dent Elmer E Smiley, who had resign
ed in August. He was present at the
time the board of trustees made the Sc
lection, and so impressed the members
that the vote was unanimous. there be-
ing a number Of other applications for
the position. Immediately after his
election he returned to Moore's Hill,
where he helped to start that college
on its new year, his resignation being
accepted with reluctance on the part
of the officers OF that institution.
On the 18th of that month he return
ed to Laramie and was present when
the school year just closing began. He
took of his coat and barred his arms to
the work in hand, and until the day OF
his death there was not an idle moment
or one syllable Of %disloyalty to the in
stitution. Indeed, 1t is freely said that
he worked too hard, endured too many
hardships, undertook too much for the
weak physical man. He was not strong,
but he went about his work as though
he were a physical giant as well as in
tellectual. He visited every section OF
the state, and no man who has ever
filled the position Of president Of the
University of Wyoming received o
favorable notice out over the state.
The state papers spoke well of him on
all occasions and wherever ne went he
was urged to come again, sometimes
revisiting the cities to be received
more warmly than on the previous
visit.
On the Sd Of June DR.. Lewis left
Laramie for Denver, where he attend,
ed to some business matters, going
from there to Buffalo, Johnson county,
where the teachers institute was in
session. There is a long stage ride
from Sheridan to Buffalo, and the

H From Buffalo he returned to Shert
dan and thence to Douglas, where hi
attended the State Sunday School as

President Lewis is dead.
The Grim Reaper has claimed his

The news of the serious illness of
DR.. Lewis reached the city Sunday
morning, by telephone message to Rev.
F. w. Bross, and he announced from
his pulpit the fear that the illness
would prove fatal. 1t was stated at
hours, and all afternoon all possible
sources OF news were used to bring to
the waiting people of the city what
they hoped would be good tidings bat
what they feared would be i'll. Rev.
Bross boarded the first train for Gree

At $50 in the evening Mrs. Bross and

were called to the central telephone
station and talked with the reverend

last and his wife and little ones had
been left to battle alone in the race
with fate. There was weeping at the
bedside as the poor wife watched the
last breath and felt the last throb OF
a fond and loving heart, and there was
sadness here, where the children were
weeping in the silence of the night INT
thinking Of the closing Of the eyes OF
him who waN SO much to them and
had been to them so sweet a promise
of all a loving father should be-.
There was sadness in the heart OF
every resident of the city to whom the
tidings of the death OF DR.. Lewis nae

more people were made acquainted
with the solemn fact.
There was a hush about the halls
of the university and people spoke
with bated breath and hardly above a
whisper. There was sadness in the
stores and places of business, where
the man had come to be recognized as
a power for good in the home he had
less thar a year ago adopted for his
own.

AND THIS is FAME
A PARIS CORRESPONDENT TELLS
OF M. Lee COLONEL BRYAN.
A French Paper Prints An Amusing Story Of
the Great Commoner in Evident Good
Faith. A French Conception Of America
Politics.

Not lon" ago there appeared in a paper
published in the south Of France an
amusing account Of the lite and exploits
of Col. Bryan that no doubt this gentle
man fully enjoyed
The story was written by the Paris
correspondent Of country paper. 1t is
based, go the writer says. ON information
he got from friends of Mr.. Bryan who
are prominent in Paris,
A western wae filled the Frenchman
with startling information, and how he
must have smiled when there appeared
the following in cold print:
IN. lie Colonel Bryan first came into
fame as one OF the strange, half-savage
band of cowboys who roamed over the
Far West, fighting the Indians and wild
beasts. Initiating, perhaps, the custom
of the Indian chiefs, each OF the cowboys
bore nickname based on some OF his
exploits as hunter and fighter. Thus
M. le Colonel Bryan's title among his
rough, but brave and sturdy comrades
was Silver Bill the Dead Shot. After
the treaty of peace was signed with the
Indians at Chicago IN 1896, Col. Bryan
went out of the cattle business and be-
came one OF the bonanza farmers OF the
West. He can now sit on his back stoop,
as the rear veranda is called in America,
and look over his fields of corn stretch
ing further than the eye can reach in
every direction. As result of his early
training On the plains, where he spent
months at a time without an opportunity
of talking to another human being, the
former candidate for president is exceed
ingly tactiturn and can hardly be
persuaded to express his opinion on the
issues of campaign. He is the author
of book Of adventure called 1.-THE First
Battle" in which some OF his encounters
with the Indians Of the Tammany and
other tribes are described at length.
In the effort to partially neutralize
the strength OF NJ. lie Colonel among the
cowboys and Indians who make up the
largest part of the voting population west
of the Allegheny mountains> the Re-
publicans have NJ. lie Roosevelt for
president. M lie Roosevelt is one OF the
leading COW boys of America and is espec-
tally famous for once having vanquished
a grizzly bear in single combat. During
the last campaign NJ. lie Colonel Roose.
