Newbury, n. H., July 1-Tne death
Of John Hay, secretary of state, which
occurred at his summer home on the
shore of Lake Sunapee at 1925 Sat
urday morning, was peaceable and the
end came almost without struggle.
The suddenness Of 1t all was stag
gering. AT the hoar of IL all was
quiet. IN another moment nurses and
physicians found themselves sum-
moned TO the BEDSIDE. There had been
collapse. Twenty-Five minutes later
all was over. So swiftly had the end
ceme that the dying man passed away
unattended by all of the members OF
his family save his wife. The others,
son and a daughter, were summoned,
but they reached the bedside only TO
find their distinguished parent dead.
The secretary had passed the most
comfortable day since his illness be-
gan week ago. He had hidden his
wife and physicians goodnight at 10
O'Clock. An hour later he was sleep
ing quietly. Almost at the stroke of
IL the secretary was seized with bad
turn. He called feebly and nurse
responded. The sick man was breath
ing with great difficulty. DR.. Scudder
was speedily summoned and it re-
CURED but glance for him to deter
mine that the end was but minutes
away. The household was aroused.
The wife reached her husband as he
was breathing his last The son, Clar-
ence Hay, and the daughter, Mrs.
James A. Wadsworth of Genesee, N.
Y, hurried into the sick room, but
they were too late.
Death was caused by pulmonary
embolism, according to DR.. Scudder.
The patient did not suffer greatly in
his last moments. Aside from great
difficulty in breathing there was no
struggle. Stimulants were ineffective.
The secretary lapsed into unconscious
ness and seemed to fall asleep at last.

sPICER LOSES A TEACHER.

Under above heading we find in the
Green Lake Breeze of Jan. IL, publish
ed at Spicer, Minn., the appended ac-
count of the marriage of our clever and
popular co-laborer, F. E. Drinkwater,
editor and publisher of the Patterson
Advocate, and Miss Katie Van Worst,
which took place at the brides home
in Spicer on the 9th inst:
A wedding which robs Spicer of an
excellent teacher, a most estimable
young lady, took place Tuesday morn
ing at 9 o'clock, when Miss Katie Van
Worst was united in marriage to Fran
els E. Drinkwater, of Patterson, N. D.
The wedding took place at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harrison Van Worst, in Irving, Rev.
Father Malloy speaking the words that
bound together two happy hearts. The
wedding was very quiet one, being
solemnized in the presence of relatives
only. The bridesmaids were Miss
Katie C. Moran, of Graceville, and
Miss Hattie Van Worst. The grooms-
men were Alley P. Van Worst and Leo
N. Van Worst.
The happy couple left for the twin
cities Tuesday afternoon, returning to
Spicer Wednesday evening, when a re-
ception was held in Mardin's Hall.
The bride is one of the we'll known
teachers in Kandiyohi county, her par
ents being old settlers in the town of
Irving, where she spent her childhood.
For the past two and one-half years
she has had charge of the primary de-
partment Of the Spicer schools and has
met with remarkable success in her
work. During her stay here she has
won many warm friends who wish her
the greatest happiness in the new life
which is opened up before her. Much
as they regret her departure from our
town her friends cannot but feel that
they have share in the happiness
which is hers and which she so richly
deserves.
The groom is the editor of the Pat;
terson Advocate, a newspaper in the
new and growing town of Patterson,
N. D. He is not an entire stranger
here, having lived for some time at
where he is held in the
highest respect by all who know him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Drinkwater left this
afternoon for North Dakota, where the
groom's business interests demand his
attention.
The Tribune joins the host of friends
# the happy young couple in best
wishes for long life of prosperity and
.onnubial bliss.

The Bowbells tribune
By THoS. B. HuRLY
No Apportionment this Session..

The Tribune says that the Legislative
assembly of North Dakota will not bt
able to re-apportion the state before the
session of 1907, according to an opinion
: furnished by Major J. G. Hamilton te
Representatives Davis and Chapman
who are interested in the matter of in.
creased representation for the sections
of the state which have in the past few
years enjoyed large increase in popu.
lation, and which no one questions
should be given larger representation.
For instance, Ward and Williams
counties under the present plan of ap-
portionment have one senator and three
representatives. Ward county itself
cast the largest vote in the state at the
last election, Cass and Grand Forks
counties following closely in the order
named.
There has been no apportionment
since the session of 1901, when the fed
eral census of 1900 was used for basis
of representation. The state is entitled
to census this year, paid for by the
state, and provided for by the legisla-
ture, so that if this plan is carried out
the new apportionment can be made in
1907, two years hence. Major Hamil-
ton fails to find anything that would
prohibit the legislature from making
new apportionment this year, but the
census of 1900 would have to be taken
as a basis, the same census on which
the 1901 apportionment was made. In
the course of his opinion Major Hamil-
ton says:
"ln examining section 35 of the con-
stitution carefully you will observe that
the basis of apportionment which the
legislature is authorized to make, is
based on the enumeration of all the in
habitants of the state. That the pop
ulatlon of the state is determined by
census, and that when such census has
been made, either by federal or state
authority, then the legislative assemb-
~ shall make reapportionment of the
senators and representatives; hence it
follows that until such an enumeration
has been made there is no constitution
al or lawful authority in the legislative
assembly to make an apportionment,
the proviso at the close of section IS
merely clothes the legislative assembly
with power to make apportionment at
any regular session but such apportion-
ment must be based upon a census Of
the inhabitants. l find no law of the
state to determine the number of in
habltants for the purpose of apportion-
ment by any other rule than that of
population.
