While a Letter to his wife in Chicago
lay sealed before him he began to
write of his feelings as death crept
over him and continued the morbid
study in death until he became uncon-
scious. He was rescued only when
a wedding party of friends came fOr
him two hours afterward and was
taken to a hospital. The doctors have
little hope of his recovery.
Five sheets of manuscript were de-
voted to describing his emotions, and
he ended with blotting the last sheet
after he had written: / feel my wiee's
arms about me. Ny head whirls. Hei

shrivels from the skull; / see every

INCORPORATE IN ARIZONA.

After having fought long and stren. uous battle against the '"Great Amer ican Fraud" and dipped into other mat ters. which to its notion required re- form, Golfers Weekly has devoted its attention to the incorporation laws of Arizona. It is the first time since the joint statehood matter was being agi' tated that Golfers has condescended to notice this territory and at that time it took strong position in favor of iointure without first ascertaining the feeling on the subject in Arizona. How ever, in its present attack, there is some justification for the stand taken. Ari- zona's incorporation laws, while ex- tremely lax, are said by some to be a good thing for poor people who want to incorporate. They are also a mighty good thing for fake promoters who wish to incorporate and can do so at less than the fare from Chicago to Phoenix It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the wildcat mining com panies of the country are incorporated under the laws of Arizona and the wild cat operators do not confne their op erations, or rather putative operations to mining-their principal objects fol incorporating in all instances being to prepare attractive bait for catching suckers.
 Golfers publishes an advertisement of one of the incorporating companies with headquarters at Phoenix with tho following closing comment:
 Somewhat unwillingly We advertise this bandit 8 exploitation of Arizona 7. thimblerigging incorporation laws, but we balance against it the amount oi public thought which we may succeed in focusing on the subject of incor pOration laws. Agitation for fedora incorporation, as we have pointed out is deplored by residents of New Jer sey whose offices are in Wall street ant who operate mines in West Virgiai; with charters granted in Arizona.'

OCT. 26th.-The man who should be
elected Sheriff of Wayne county this
year is NJ. Lee Braman, of IIonesdalc.
lie is man of the right stamp, with
backbone, and a man who owns him
self and will not be controlled by any
political clique. And another reason why
he should be elected is because he is Il
man of excellent habits, strictly temper
ate, and for that reason alone he should
and will get good vote in Sterling
township. He is pretty we'll known in
the Southern part of the county, and the
general impression is that he will make
good officer, and, like the candidate
for Prothonotary, is not soliciting OF
purchasing votes, but stands on his
merits and believes in a square deal.
We have a few conservative Democrats
among us who will support NJ. Lee Bra
man for Sheriff and W. j. Barnes for
prothonotary, and they will both get the
full Republican vote in the Southern
part of the county. We do not wish to
say one word against NJ. J. Hanlan as
an officer. lie is certainly a good and
accommodating man, hut we think down
here that he has been well taken care of
by the people oi Wayne county. and
ought to step down and out and give the
other fellow chance. His opponent,
w. j. Barnes, made very favorable
impression on his trip through here last
week, and think changed the minds "f
many who intended to vote for llanlan,
bu, now will support Wallace j. Barnes.
Our old friend Thomas G. Madden is
in the field for reelection. lie is one of
our kind, straight Republican, and
will receive II full vote from the Repub-
licans with many Democrats in South
crn Wayne. lie is known among us as
straightforward business man, and
having served one term as County Com
missioner, and the tax payers cannot
say one word against him, or the pres
cnt board of Commissioners, and the
general opinion is that they ought to be
reelected, and from all appearances
they will be.
Another important office to be filledis
that of Representative. The candidate,
Warren f. Perham, has been before the
people of Wayne county before, and is
we'll known in every nook and corner OF
Wayne county. He is engaged in farm
ing and is the man to look after the
farmers interests at Harrisburg.
These are the men we believe are
worthy OF the support OF the best citi-
zens of Wayne county. Those who
know them best speak of them in the
highest terms rs good citizens, good
neighbors and worthy OF the support of
all voters, and should they be elected
we can rest assured that they will per-
form the duties of their office to the sat
isfaction of the people of the county.
