the campaign thunder they can
get out of the railroad rate matter
and have found that the people
are becoming tired of it. they
seem ready to compromise it. II
is well, possibly that the matter
is to be settled, but after so much
fuss had been raised. it seems
that the better plan would have
been to have let the matter go on
through the courts and see just
how the state could harrass the
railroads if they conclude to do 50
in the future.

Death Of Nj. c. Mills,

Wednesday morning while in the
city, c. D. Mills, foreman Of the Inter.
Ocean, received telegram from
Toxic informing him that his father,
Matthies c., who resides on the reser.
walton, was seriously i'll. Mr.. Mills at
once procured a rig and drove to his
fathers place, finding that he was
stricken with stroke Of apoplexy
and had been unconscious for several
hours. Everything possible was done,
but to no avail, for he passed away
at o'clock Thursday morning.
The deceased is a veteran of the
Civil war, and has spent most of his
life in Iowa, where he leaves many
relatives besides his wife and several
children to mourn his loss. He was
about 70 years old, and had lived
alone On a claim adjoining his sons,
near Toxic, since the opening of the
reservation.
The old gentleman was very active
for his age, and no signs Of failing
health we're evidenced previous to the
stroke.
His son leaves today for Cedar
Falls, Iowa, where the remains will
be taken for interment.
