Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Calhoun re-
ceived a telegram today from Omaha,
announcing the death Of their son-in-
law, Mr.. C. D. Thompson, which oc-
Cured in Omaha this morning. The
news came as a great shock to Mr..
and Mrs. Calhoun, who were n o aware
that their son was ill. Heart disease,
with which Mr.. Thompson had been a
sufferer at times during the past few
years, is supposed to have been res
ponsible for the end, which Is pre-
sumed to have been very sudden. Only
a. few days ago MI. Calhoun received
O letter from Mr.. Thompson, in which
he spoke Of how much better he was
feeling, and that he was again able
to be at his office all the time.
Mr.. Thompson had conducted In
Omaha for many years the Thompson
Advertising Agency and handled much
advertising for large concerns in the
papers Of the middle west. He was
about 48 years Of age, and was vel
known here thru his marriage to Misi
Clara Calhoun. His father, John
Thompson, was for many years d
well-known resident of Toledo, but is
now living in Grinnell.

the most remarkable in New York, has gone with the passing away of Thom- as, who died in Monticello. He died suddenly from the effect of the ex- treme heat while at work in a field near his home. He was 80 years of age. and for the last half century had been one of the most commanding and prominent figures in Sullivan County because of his size and wonderful strength. He was sergeant in the 143d Regiment of New York volunteers and was the strongest man in the reg iment. Every member of the family of ten, five males and five females, was as strong as a giant. and the wonderful feats of strength performed by them won for them almost national fame.

Once here in Washington, when he was in President Cleveland's Cab inet, he came into the Shorehan, and I saw him scrutinizlng one of my force Then he walked over. and, calling the clerk by name, extended his hand. He hadn't seen the man for twelve years and yet he recalled him without the least hesitation
