DR.. w. H. Earles Of Milwaukee,
founder of the medical department of
Marquette university and Trinity hospi-
tai in that city, died at his home, 259
Eleventh street, at o'clock Tuesday af
ternoon of apoplexy after few hours
illness. His wife and family were with
him at the time.
The news of his sudden death was a
shock to his many friends in this city.
He is survived by widow and three
sons, Wesley, John and Ray.
DR.. Earles had returned home early
on Monday night and had retired in
unusually cheerful spirits. Upon
arising he joked with members of his
family and ate hearty breakfast, lit
a cigar, and leaned back in his chair
to req d the morning paper. Suddenly
a look of agony appeared on his face
and he slowly slipped from the chair
to the floor with his hand pressed to
his forehead, eXclaiming in an

agonized voice, "A hemorrhage. A
hemorrhage"' He soon lapsed into
a state of uncorsciousness and linger-
ed eight hours.
DR.. Earles was born in Genesee,
Wis, in Deceu Der 1852. When he
was yet boy his parents moved to
this city where the young man attend
ed the public schools. He studied at
the Oshkosh Normal and later went to
the state university where he became
leader among his class mates. After
graduation he taught school for
six years some of the time III this
county. He enrolled at Rush Medi-
cal college from which he was graduat-
ed in $780, His first medical practice
was in Wrightstown, Wis, but in 1885
he moved to Milwaukee. In 1887 with
DR.. N. II. Nelson, he founded Trinity
hospital and was instrumental in
founding the Milwaukee free dispen-
sary. Three years later, he founded
the Trinity Hospital School one of
DR.. Earles most notable achieve
mentS.
The following tribute to DR.. Earles
was written by DR.. Henry L. Banzhaf,
dean of the dental department OF
Marquette university and former
resident of this city which gives a
good summary of DR.. Earles'
character:
81 have enjoyed the privilege of a
somewhat intimate acquaintance with
DR.. Earles for a period of years, and
in the light of achievement, in the
face of obstacles, story OF his life
and work would read more like a
romance than statement Of fact.
Moreover, in addition to his high
professional attainments, what he has
accomplished as an educator will
memory long after the present genera
ton has passed away. He despised
hattery, hated deception and was quick
to recognize the true from the false.
10 win his frlendShlp one must De
worthy of it, and this was one of the
chief charms of his nature. He never
went back on friend who was his
friend in the best and truest sense,
and his sense Of loyalty and honor to
whatever cause he directed his efforts
would never permit him to do anyone
a wrong. Altogether, DR.. Earles was
a tower of energy and intellectual
strength with large soul filled full
of human interest" 3"
DR.. Earles was formerly the owner
of the Manitowoc Pilot, purchasing
the paper from the estate of John
Nagle and was interested IN other
local enterprises. The burial will be

ASSESSORS HOLD an

The assessors of the city and of the

for their annual meeting at the County
Board rooms of the Court House on Sat.
urday last. The meeting was presided
over by Supervisor of Assessment Her
man Stehn and occupied most of the
day, from ten o'clock in the morning on.
Mr.. Stein in his remarks to the meeting
said that people were looking for better
and more equitable assessments of their
property and he advocated the follow

true assessment 1st, the listing and
placing on the rolls of all taxable real
and personal property in each assess.

of such property at its full value
lie advocated the assessment of all
property for the actual amount for
which it would sell if there was n ready
purchaser The fact that lower as.
sessment did not mean lower taxes if
the assessment was equally low on all
property was dwelt upon and explained
as was also the fact that the state tax
commission can order a re assessment to
be paid for by the district affected if it
thinks the assessment of any district
or county il too low. The fact was
brought out that the state commission
increased the assessment on real and
personal property in Manitowoc county
last year almost fourteen million dol.
lars. Some discussion was had on the
equality of the assessments of the large
corporations and holding companies ~
compared with that Of the small prop
erty holders and Mr.. Stein urged that
the principles of equality and justice be
applied to both IN the making of asses1-
ments. He stated in effect that this
could be done by assessing all property
for its full value, where if sentiment or
favor were allowed to have any inhu.
ence in the matter, injustice would be

Where Zephyrs softly stealing
At eve thy dirge shall sing
And kiss the flowers above thy grave.
And hail each early spring
And we thy children left behind

The coming spring when Heaven shall ope
Its portals to ~ too

! TO ever live with thee
And God and all His blessed ones

There are several ways of spelling a
child, but one of the surest is to take
his part every time he comes with
complaint. Gradually the little fellow
begins to think that he can do as he
pleases aud that every body must come
TO his way of thinking. Such children
generally grow to be unbearable in their
communities. They get into trouble
very easily and seem to have no ability
to get ont of it. Don't be foolish about
your child. The chances are that he is
about as good and as bad rs the rest of
the fellows. Even if you are an exemp.
larry character yourself, the probability
Is that your progeny has some of the less
desirable ancestral characteristics in his
makeup.

NORTHERN GRAIN co.
CHANGES MANAGER.

A change in the management of the
Northern Grain Company, whose prin.
cipal offices and elevators are located at
this city occurred recently as n result
of disagreement as to policy among
officers and directors. James G. Martin,
who has been president of the company
for some time past has resigned his
position, the resignation having taken
effect more than week ago and X. L.
Mccormick of Tacoma Wash, has been
elected to succeed him. The company
operates three elevators and cold stor-
age plant in this city and in addition to
these stock farm has been started on
land purchased south of the city, where
the fattening of cattle and raising of
sheep are being carried on. The resigna.
tion of Mr., Mart caused considerable
surprise here as no intimation of his ac.
tion had been made public. Mr.. Charles
Esplin has been elected secretary and
treasurer of the company and has charge
of the management of that part of the
business which is carried on here.
1t is understood that Mr.. Martin re
tains his interest in the company. He
has not made any statement as to his
future plans, although it is probable that
he will continue to make his home in
this city.
1t is reported that some minor changes
are to be made in the management of
the business here, although the character
of these changes has not been made
public.
