William W. Foote, soldier, orator,
afternoon at the residence of J. V
I Coleman, 631 Van Ness avenue
Mr.. Foote's illness was of briei
duration. but from its start there
was little hope of his recovery. For
some time past his health has been
poor and last week he caught severe
/ cold, which caused an abscess to form
| in the ear, and the poison gradually
I spread through his system. For the
last three days Mr.. Foote was uncon-
scious and the efforts of the attend
ing physicians TO rally him proved fu-
tile. He passed away shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
DISTINGUISHED CAREER.
William ". Foote was one of the
best known lawyers and politicians in
the State Of California. He was born
at jackson, Miss, January 16, 1876. He
was the son of Hon Henry S. Foote,
United States Senator from that State.
and subsequently Governor, having de-
feated Hon. Jefferson Davis in the year
1850.
Before he had completed his sixteenth
year he entered the military service Of
the Confederate States at Columbus,
KY. in December, 1861, as a private
in the Shelby Grays, a company belong
ing TO the First Tennessee Infantry,
and was subsequently made sergeant
major Of the Tennessee Corps of Artil-
Iery, on duty at that place with the
forces assembled under General Leon
idas Polk. In the subsequent dispo-
sition of the troops following the ad-
vance of the Federal army under Cen
eral Grant he and his command were
assigned to Fort Donelson, the objec-
tive of the movement of the Union
army
The artillery force at this important
point on January 10, 1862, according to
the report of Colonel Milton A. Haynes,
who was put in charge at that time,
was composed of two companies of vol
unteer and unframed infantry and
Maney's battery of light artillery,
which Haynes organized into a bat
talon of 500 and gave daily drill with
the heavy guns.
BY the most vigorous efforts the fort
was prepared for the expected on
slaught. which was begun with a bonn
bardment from the gunboats under Ad-

COST AND CONVENIENCE
OF COUNTRY TELEPHONE
Rural Lines Owned by Farmers Do
Away With Excessive
Rates

Every progressive farmer should
have 2 telephone. He cannot afford
10 be without one. Time is money,
and the telephone saves time. 1t is
easier quicker and cheaper to talk
than il is TO walk or ride. The time
has arrived when We must realize the
Importance Of being in touch With our
ueighbors and with the world.
Communities should build their own
telephone lines If they cannot get
satisfactory service at reasonable rates
from existing companies. 1t is q con-
siderable undertaking, but the coun-
Try is already dotted with independent
telephone exchanges thus established
which are eminently successful.
The first thing to do in organizing
a telephone company is to agitate the
question and make the neighborhood
understand ats great value; that it is
p good business investment, a public
Improvement. distinct social advan-
tage and q positive personal convent
cnce; that a telephone in the house en-
aDles one TO call a doctor without
dangerous delay, 10 give immediate
alarm in case Of fire or burglars, to
avoid a needless trip to town, to call
the butcher, the baker, the grocer
and 10 bring one into quick touch
with the railroad, the telegraph, the
postoffice or the bank. The telephone
enables the busy farmer TO transact
business at the farm that would other
wise necessitate his absence from
home. In a large measure it elimi-
mates the only strong objection to
farm life-isolation. With telephone
in the house the farmers wife is never
alone. Every subscriber is as it were.
in the next room. The best proof of
Is value is-the fact universaI-that
people who once have telephone al
most never have it taken out. The
only objection against the farmer hav-
ing a telephone was by a man who
wanted an excuse TO go to town. He
could not get any satisfaction out of a
drink Of whisky over telephone wire.

experienced captivity a month at Camp
Chase. Ohio, and afterward at Fort
Warren, Boston Harbor, until ex-
changed in August, 1862.
On regaining his liberty inside the
Confederate lines Mr.. Foote went to

fantry With this command he had
active military duty during the re-
pulse of Sherman's attack at Chicka-

with the troops sent into Mississippi to

1868. and fought under General Gregg
against the Federal advance at Ray
mond, Miss, May IL, where he was
wounded and fell into the hands of the
unionists A second time a prisoner of
war, he was sent to Johnsons Island,
Lake Erie, and held for sixteen
months.

turned to the Confederate lines he
again sought duty in the field, and was
made adjutant of the Fifteenth Arkan-
sas Regiment, with which he served

RESUMES CIVIL LIFE.
In his twentieth year, then a veteran
with an adventurous and worthy rec
ord, Mr.. Foote resumed the duties and
ambitions of civil life and began prep
