PIONEERS ARE PASSING.
Pioneer Citizens and Officials Answer the
Final Summons. Brief Sketches
Of their Lives.
JOHN w. STILES.

After general breaking down in
health due TO old age, death came to
the relief of enc of the oldest aud
best known pioneer residents of De-
corah and hotel keepers of northern
Iowa, Mr.. John W. Stiles on Satur-
day morning at :05 O'Clock. He was
taken sick the day before Christmas
and has been confined to his bed almost
continually since that time.
John William Stiles was born Nov.
%, 1918, at Casinovia, N. Y. His
early education was obtained at
Oberlin College, Ohio, and for some
years he lived ON the old homestead at
Cleveland, Ohio, which still stands.
After spending number of years be-
fore the mast on the Great Lakes, and
subsequently as stage driver out of
Chicago, Milwaukee, Omaha. ST.
Louis, Galena and Dubuque, and also
the old M. o. Walker stage line
through this section, he located in De-
corah in 1866, just at the birth of the
town, and went into the livery bust
ness with John T. Baker on Water
street, from which he drifted back
into the stage business, operating
stages between DEBORAH and Lansing,
DEBORAH and McGregor, and Dubuque,
DEBORAH and Conover, long before
railroads traversed the state. John,
as everyone familiarly called him, has
always been also an enthusiastic horse
man, and during his business life
had many fine horses, and some record
breakers.
In 1870 he started in the hotel bust
ness, and since that time, has operated
the Stiles Hotel, known for hundreds
of miles about for the past thirty five
years as one of the most popular
hostelries in the northwest. He used
the first hotel register known in De-
corah, and was in every sense typical
pioneer. During his hotel career he
served for eighteen years as member
of the city council, being member
at the time the city water works sys.
tenn was installed
Feb. IS, 1858 he was married to Miss
Sarah E. Flemming, who survives
him. Nine children were born to
them. one son dying in infancy. The
remaining ones are Charles F. +,
Elizabeth, Mrs. Nettie Stiles. Spur,
Mrs E. r. Haines, Mrs. Oscar Bondy.
Mrs. Martin Norton, Mrs. Phil.
Schildknecht, Ruth. Eight grand
children with the above mourn the
death of kind and loving husband,
father and grandfather
The funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon, from the hotel,
Rev. DR.. NJ. Willett officiating, with
interment in Phelps cemetery. The
pail bearers were the following in
innate friends of the deceased: Ed.
Bean, Frank Headington, John T..
Baker. Charles Haas, 1. w. Ward,
Chas. McMasters.
Few men had more friends or was
more widely acquainted than John
Stiles. He was generous to a fault,
public spirited. jovial, kind and
sympathetic, and his demise will be
mourned alike by the citizens of De-
corah and the thousands who have
been housed under his hospitable
roof during the many years he has
conducted hotel.

Bisbee daily review., 1906-10-28

Although Cochise county supports a district attorney and two assistants. one located in Bisbee and another in Douglas. the grand jury. which ad- journed at Tombstone yesterday. dis missed and Ignored thirty-tourr crimi- nal cases. These cases should have been dismissed in the justice Courts and the district attorney. or one of his assistants, should have been pres ent at the preliminary hearings to ad- wise the Justices of the Peace. In other cases witnesses for tho prose |cution were permitted to leave the country. and when the cases were called before the grand jury. the wit. nesses could not be found. Why were not these witnessed placed under bond for their appearance at the District Court? But what's the use of ask. ing WHY about anything connected with the present administration of the office of District Attorney in this coun. ty:

POLITICAL TRADES SHOULD BE TABOOED.

There is but one way to show one's confidence in the judgment of the party leaders of the county and to maintain the supremacy of the demo- cratic party. party which has been fully tried and found not wanting. and that is by voting the straight demo cratic ticket. There is not a man on the ticket of the Cochise county democ- racy that is not deserving of the same hearty support of every man in the party that any other candidate Is de- serving of.
 The democrats in the coming elec. ton cannot sit supinely by and trust on the ability of the party managers and past majorities to carry the issue, They must, themselves, cooperate to the greatest possible extent in work ing for the ticket, and they certainly can do nothing less for the good oi the party than to vote the ticket as l, appears.
 Now and then one hears of tend ency towards swapping candidates Men of the opposing parties have friends with whom they are at DO litical variance but still. want to sup port them. ard they will make deal "You vote for my man and I'll vote for yours" This is eminently not proper. It should make no differences to the good democrat whether his fath- CT is running on the republican tic ket. As long as good, able, clean men are offering themselves for office each and everyone of them should get every vote of the party alignment and there should be no swapping un- der any conceivable conditions. It is the height of discourtesy to the man. agement of the party and treason to
 nc cause.

 hood for the remaining territories. singly and alone. at an early date. The National Republican convention which nominated Wm. Mckinley adopted a platform which made such a declaration and Senator Foraker, who fought side by side with the minority in the last Con- gress to preserve the autonomy of Arizona, was a member of that plat form committee.
 In the same year the National Dem ocratic convention adopted a similar platform upon the question of state hood for the remaining territories, but with the advent of Theodore Roose- welt into the White House. the Re publican party began to break away from it's platform pledges, and move ment was put on foot by the intrepid Theodore to join Arizona and New Mexico together as one state. When the National Republican convention met in Chicago in 1904 plank was already made declaring in favor of this new Republican policy towards this new Republican policy towards unanimous objections of the dele gates from tke territories that the Re publican party was induced to remain silent upon the question of statehood, although a Republican House of Rep had already passed a joint statehood bill at the previous session.
 But it remained for the President to commit his party irrevocably to joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexi- co in his message to the last Con- greSS, when ne sald.
 q favor joint statehood for the territories of Arizona and New Mexico and their admission as one state. There is no obligation on us to treat territorial subdivisions which are matters of convenience only-as bind ing us on the question of admission to statehood"
 But the strenuosity of His Strenu- ousness was not content with his rec ommendation to Congress. We know it to be a fact that the Republican President sent for Congressman and Senators and used every administra- ton whip at his command to ride through the House his pet measure and he succeeded.
 On the contrary, what is the record of the Democratic party in conven- ton and in Congress on this question which is dearest to the heart of every true and loyal Arizonan? M
 The Democratic National conven- tion which met at St. Louis in 1904. said:
 We favor the early admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico as separate and single states
 When Congress met we found the Representatives and Sen ators a solid phalanx against the Re publican policy of joint statehood, and assisted by that small handful of brave and courageous Americans, headed by Foraker. Arizona has the right today to vote down this Repub- lican measure, then:
 WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF ARI- IONA IN CONGRESS?
 The record shows that the elected Representatives of the Democratic party are the true and loyal friends of our people.
 The Republican party will again at tempt to pass some kind of joint statehood bill at the next session. The Republican party has already declared in favor of yoking AngloSaxon Ari- zona with Latin New Mexico, and Ari- zona's only hope of rescue rests in the hands of the Democratic Congressmen and Senators.
 If we are to. send a friend from Ari- zona to ask favor of our friends at Washington. WHOM SHALL VIE
