 Stroke of Paralysis.

Madison. Wis, Aug. 27.--Col. Win. F. Villas died at i0:45 o'clock this morn ing. following five weeks of illness.
 When Dr, Philip Fox called upon the Colonel this morning. he found him unusually cheerful and bright and be- lieved he showed signs of improve ment. Shoftly after 1e o'clock while the nurses were administering bath to the patient. they noticed that he weakened very quickly. An attempt was made to reach the doctor, but Col- onel Villas died before he could be reached. pr. Chas H. Villas of New York. who has been staying at the home. was not present at the death. pr. Fox believes that the immediate cause of the death was a second stroke of paraiysis.
 z He suffered a cerebral hemorrhaRe early on the morning of July 20 at his home in Madison. His condition was so serious that D. P. Villas. his brother, of Milwaukee, was summoned to the bedside, and for two days the physi- clans were unable to offer any hope of recovery. On the third day Colonel Vi- lass condition was slightly improved. and there were two hopeful signs, first, there had been no spreading of the paraiysis. and secondly. he manifested marked signs of intelligence. AL though the periods of consciousness were slight. they gave the family and friends of the distinguished patient much hop6.

 It Is now believed that the last man has been accounted for and that rhsre are no other bodies in the mine. When the mine was finally cleared of snoks . late yesterday, nineteen of the dead miners were found with i've mules hud- dled together In one of the entrances mile from the opening. They had started toward the fire instead of ma kinR a detour. Most of the bodies of the dead miners will be inferred today. as 1t is necessary because they have un- dergone rapid decomposition since they were removed from the mine.

 Here we have the Republicans of Kansas heartily endorsing the nomina- ton of Taft and Sherman--even com mending the speech of acceptance of Mir. Taft--while the convention pro- ceeds to condemn Mir. Tafts position on the guaranty of banks. and Mir. Sher- mans position on the subject of rules. There Is no doubt that there is a strong reform sentiment among the Re- pubiicans and the best they can give expression to 1t is to vote for the Democratic electors and thus get the National administration fin harmony with their ideas and to elect Demo- cratic State ticket which stands for their reforms. Democratic Legislature which will not only stand for the guar anty law. but elect Mir. Fsrrelly to vote for reforms in the United States Sem ate and then the Republicans of Kan. sas ought to complete their work by eiectfng Democratic members of Con- gress to help reform rules of the House and help to carry out the reform pieds' ed in the Democratic platform.

 Speaking of. the situation in this State Mir.

 on Saturday. mr. Mack Says CampaiEn In West Is Being Vigorously Pushed And Work win Be Advanced
 In East Soon.
 

New York, Aug. 27.--with the Dem ocratic campaign west of the Aiiegha- nies in full swing. Norman F. Mack. chairman of the Democratic National Committee, returned here from the West today to establish headquarters and inaugurate the campaign in the East.

 Mr. Mack believes that a New York man will be selected as Eastern cam paign manager. On his arrival here today. Chairman Mack was met by National Committeeman Tomlinson and other members of the National Com mittee. who reached here earlier in the week.
 .sThe clements of douht in the conn ing election are being rapidly swept away by the strong drift of the coun- try toward democracy and I feel abso- luIelX COnuQent OK &uS CiCCtAoh Ch Bryan and Kern" said Mir Mack. T say this frankly. not because it is an utterance naturally expected to come from national chairman of political party, but from the fact that reports received and preliminary canvasses made are indexes that the next admin istration at Washington will be Dem ocratic.
 'The campaign in the West is being vigorously push ed and within ten days the work will be well advanced In the East. Indiana. Illinois. Ohio and New York will undoubtedly go Democratic this year.
 T have been away nearly a month and have not kept in touch with the gubernatorial situation in this State. The Democrats have severel good men who can be nominsted for Governor, but this Is a matter for fiie Rochester convention. As fo the Buffalo primary yesterday can say that know noth-' ing about 1t. as the nationsi campaign has occupied every minute of my tirne.

It Is a Burning Issue.

Trenton, N. J.. Aug. 21.-The propo- sition of Governor Fort to call spe- cial session of the Legislature for the better enforcement of the liquor laws in Atlantic City in case Sunday selling goes on there next Sunday, is variously regarded here Such a prop osition is unique in the history of the State.
 The Governor will probably plead for law for the creation of a State board with power to revoke licenses, but such a plea twice made by him in messages to the same Legislature were ignored.
 The Governors other alternative would be to have impeachment pro- ceedings started against the offending officers of Atlantic county and Atlantic City. Tn this case the officials would be tried by the State Senate.
 The excise question has been a burning one in New Jersey for tho past three or four years. Except fer the passage of a. local option law by the Republicans some twenty years ago, which was repealed by the Demo. crats when they came Into power the next year. there was no agitation and no serious attempt at leEislation aimed at the liquor interests until the passage of the Bishop law in 1905.
