Death Occurred On "Wednesday
From Heart Failure.
NEWS OF DEMISE CAME AS SHOCK
TO NATION.
Famous Democrat Has Been Suffering
for Several Years From Complica.
ti0n Of Diseases.

Princeton, N. j., June 24.-Former
President Grover Cleveland died at
$40 this morning. For years he had
been suffering from attacks OF gastric
intestinal origin. A statement given
out by the attending physicians says
he had also long standing organic
disease of the heart and kidneys.
The immediate cause of death was
heart failure complicated with other
diseases. While Mr.. Cleveland had
been seriously i'll from time to time.
the announcement OF his death came
like thunderbOlt to those who had
been watching his illness. Mrs.
Cleveland was at home when her hus-
band passed away, but the children
are at their summer home at Tam
worth, N. H.
1t is believed that the terrific heat
of the last few days contributed to q
great degree to the sudden death of
Mr.. Cleveland, His death was not
| announced until an official statement
had been prepared by Drs. Bryant
and Lockwood, who came here from
New York yesterday and remained at
the Cleveland residence all night, as
was their custom when visiting
Princeton News.

its very bearing. IT seemed as though
Wisconsin had suddenly peopled ev-
cry foot of the galleries. The dele
gates sat calm and waiting, except
the frantic Wisconsins, but the con-
vention for the time being was In the
possession of the galleries.
Amid this pandemOnium and with
the galleries in full control, Chair
man Lodge decided upon heroic ac-
ton In order again to make the con-
vention master of its affairs. He or
dered the rollcall of states to begin
for the vote on President. Such a
call, under such circumstances, has
probably never before occurred In the
history Of national conventions.
The secretary. was powerless to
make his call Of states heard above
the deafening clamor. Gradually
the curiosity of the multitude con-
quered its enthusiasm and 1t lapsed
into silence to hear the result of the
call A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached, the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
b11, or 20 more than enough to nom
mate. Still the call went on until
the Anal result was announced by
Chairman Lodge.
For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker. of Ohio, 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph G. Can
non, OF Illinois. So votes; for Robert
La Toilette, of Wisconsin, rs votes;
for Charles =. Hughes. of New York.
81 votes; for philander G. Knox, of
Pennsylvania. 68 votes. and for WILL
lam H. Taft. Of Ohio 702 votes"
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and
with one accord the adherents of
| Cannon, Knox and Hughes and the
| others joined in a common tribute to
the candidate of the party
General Stewart L. Woodford, for
Governor Hughes. leaping upon a
chair, moved to make the nomination
of Taft unanimous; Senator Penrose,
for Knox; Boutell, for Cannon;
Henry, of Georgia. for Foraker, and
Cochems. of Wisconsin. for La Fol
lette, seconded the movement for a
unanimous vote for the candidate
| which was given with . ringing
| cheer.

OF other states had been named, save
Knox and La Toilette. and now on
the rollcall came Ohio.
As the Buckeye state was reached
the tall. gaunt form of Theodore e.
Burton, with student-like face and
severe black, clerical garb. advanced
to the platform to nominate Ohio's
candidate. He spoke fervently, with
the singing voice of an evangelist,
which went ringing down through
the great building. The close of his
speech of nomination was the signal
for the long pent-up feeling OF the
TAFT legiOns. Instantly the Ohio DEL

A lull gave the opportunity for the
speech seconding Taft's nomination
by George A. Knight, of California,
his big, round face beaming forth on
the sympathetic multitude and his
splendid baritone voice going forth
like tones of great church organ.
California's tribute to Taft was brief
and fervid. Now there was another
lull in the Taft movement, while the
remaining candidates were placed in
nomination.
It was late In the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
Ing with the intense heat, reached
the end OF the food Of eloquence and
the decks were at last cleared for
the seconding of La Toilette. When
the cheers following the speech had
died away, like cyclone from clear

FAILS IN FIRST ATTEMPT AT
SUICIDE.
W. F. Hughes, Living on Ranch Of p. H.
Smith, Cuts His Throat and Foils All
Attempts to Save Him.

Our community was shocked to
learn Of the death, by suicide, on
Monday Of w. F. Hughes, who lived
with his family on the P. H. Smith
place on the Rock creek road, south
of Hansen. :
Mr.. Hughes has been a sufferer
from heart disease, and dispondency
may have been the cause of the de-
rangement of mind that caused him
to commit so rash an act. Early on
Monday morning Mr. Hughes left his
bed and threw himself into a lateral,
with the evident intention of ending
his life by drowning, however, on COM
ing to the house he gave as reason
for leaving it that parties were trying
to kill him. Not long after he cut his
throat with his jack knife DR.. Boyd
and Clouchek were called and reached
the place before his death had oc-
CURED, but nothing could be done for
him.
He leaves a family of nine child
rem. The mother is dead, and the
13 year old daughter Hazel has been
the bright and faithful home-keeper.
The sympathy of the whole COM
munity Is extended to the sad family.
The funeral of Mr.. Hughs was
held from the undertaking parlors OF
H. e. Hunt Of Twin Falls Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock under the aus
pices of the M. w of A., Of which Mr.
Hughs was a member.
