Kenton.--As a result of a paralytiC
stroke, L. G. Wooley, aged 62,
widely known throughout the country
as the wizard inventor" is dead.
Wooley has been mentally unbalanced
for several months, his arrangement
being attributed to his tireless effort
to perfect the transmutation Of silver
into gold by electricity. He produced
many inventions of great commercial
value, but is said to have realized only
about $150,000 from his work, and died
a poor man. His best known inven-
tions are the multiple magnetic fire
alarm system and the Wooley electro
carbon engine.

Columbus.-Walter D. Guilbert, for
twenty years a power in Repub-
lican state politics, died here from
Bright's disease. He was strong and
vigorous until shortly before the ex-
piration of his third term as auditor
of state. Almost coincident with the
beginning of bitter attacks on his ad-
ministration, Guilbert collapsed.
About year ago his life was in the
balance for weeks, but he rallied suf-
ticiently to attend to business. In
1883 he became chief clerk in the
auditor of states office, after two
terms as auditor of Noble county. The
department had few clerks and was
of little consequence. Two terms and
he had acquired sufficient power to
be nominated Republican candidate
for auditor against Senator Charles
Dick, then titular head of the Repub-
iican organization. Guilbert developed
the department through friendly legis-
latures until it rivaled the governor.
