ure with a Long and Turbulent
Career.
NEW YORK, May T. - The end Of
a stormy life came when Gen. Daniel e.
Sickles died at his home in New York
city shortly after 9 clock last night
lie would have been 80 years old in
October. Much history is recalled by
this departure, Gen. Daniel Edgar
Siclles was the last of the great com
manders who fought the battle of Get
tysburg. For decade he was a fight
er by profession - all his life he was
a fighter by nature. The gruf old war
rior, with one leg shot away in battle
his massave head resembling Bis
marck 5 was a picturesque figure as
he hobbled along on clutches during
the half century of his turbulent ca
reer. His indomitable fighting spirit
| remained to the last.
Born in New York city in 1925,
Sickles, at the age of -, fought the
wings as a Democrat in the New York
| Legislature. At IS, he displayed his
| fighting spirit as corporation attorney
of New York. 1t was he who secured
for his city its great Central park At
this time his military career began as
major Of the 18th regiment of the New
| York militia.

Made = BrigadieT.

Siekles raised the famous Excelsior
brigade in New York, taking command
of one OF its regiments rs colonel Lin
coin kept his word, and in 1861 raised
him to igadiergeneral. His fighting
spirit early won him his spurs. On the
Peninsula and at Antietam he distin-
gpished himself as a soldier and lead
er. At characteristics he led Il divi-
sion. At Gettysburg he led the 81
corps, lost a leg, and became n nation
| al hero. At 81 years of age, he had
risen from colonel to ma jor- general
of volunteers.
After the war his fighting spirit led
| him into the regular army, and he be-
came first brigadier and then major
general. He continued active service
until 1869, when he was appointed min
lister to Spain by President Grant. At
the court Of Spain, Sickles S vigorous
personality made him dominant flo
ure. Four years of diplomacy brought
him the epithet of 1.-THE Yankee king
of Spain - There he contracted his
second marriage with the beautiful and
| distinguished Senorita Creagh This
romance was followed by estrange
ment which was to last more than a
! quarter century. In addition to this
! domestic trouble, came his Interference
in the marriage plans of his daughter
to penniless Spanish nobleman Faith
er and daughter separated in bitter
ness, the latter to return to the United
States to die without reconciliation.
Returning alone to New York, Gen.
Sickles again entered politics. He
| served as sheriff of New York, and at
Ga he was reelected TO Congress. Gen.
Sickles faced bankruptcy proceedings
in his last years, though he had early
in life received a large share, of his
father S $3000,0 900 estate, but his es-
tranged wife and son came TO his aid
on several occasions. His last days
were spent at % Fifth avenue, New
York, surrounded by war relies and
attended by his negro servant. There
Mrs. Siclles went to him in his final
illness and was at his bedside at the
end. The general was so irresponsible
and cantankerous during the later
years of his life that the charitable ex
PLANTATION must be an unbalanced
mind.
Mrs Sickles, who had been estrangeC
/ from her husband for more than 2:
years, went to the general S houst

Before he was - years old. Ma ior
Sickles had served as secretary Of leoa
ton at London under Minister James
Buchanan; he had won state senator
ship through bitter campaign: aud
he was seated in the 35th Congress at
Washington. It was al this time that
an event occurred which became the
sensation of the day. SickleS had begun
his second term as congressman in
1853, when the national capital was
stirred by the news that the Young
representative from New York had
shot and killed Philip Barton Key, the
United States district attorney for the
District OF Columbia. Sickles declared
that Key had mislcd Mrs Sickles. who

And swift his little sparrow
Went soaring to ths sky.

The exact extent of the injuries to
the high cost of living by the an
nouncement of the reduction has not
been determined, and will not be
known until the retailer is heard
from. The reduction was made on
wholesale quantities, and it will be
up to the retailer to fall in line and
conform with the prevailing action
started by the concern from which
they get their supply, oil men stated.
What reduction will follow among
the retailers, it is stated, depends on
the retailer himself and the competi-
ton he has to meet. In some places
in the field under the jurisdiction Of
the Chicago office, retailers have re-
ceived as high as % cents a gallon
for gasoline, and as much as 20 cents
a gallon for kerosine.
While independent companies, or
their encroachments, are probable
reasons for the reduction in the
prices, it was stated last night at the
local office of the Standard Oil com
pany that such was not the case here.
In some districts there is a lively
fight going on, and the reductions
were first made in those districts.
Then came the notice of the reduction
in the entire western field of the
company.

SECOND DOSE
VICINITY OF CANISTOTA VISITED
BY A SECOND TORNADO.
M. ID. McGillivray,
County Auditor.

Canistota, June 19.-Another VIC
lent tornado struck near Canistota
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and severely injured two men, killed
a number Of horses and other stock,
and demolished several barns and
other farm buildings.
The tornado first touched the earth
at the John Addy farm, northwest of
Canistota, and travelled in an ~easterly
direction, passing directly over the
Fred Harms place, which was wreck
ed by a tornado ten days ago. When
the storm reached the w A. Alcorn
and Henry Hagerson farms, north of
here, the barns and o~utbuildings on
these places were demolished, and at
the Alcorn place the barn was blown
into the house and it was partially
wrecked. Large trees were torn up
by the roots, and a horse was blown
eighty rods with a timber driven
through it. At the Hagerson place
nine horses were pinioned under
meath the ruins OF the barn. Only one
horse was killed.
On the farm of X. II. Armstrong,
tenanted by Arthur Burton, the tor
nado picked up Burton and his hired
man, who were working in a field,
and carried them a long distance. IT
finally dropped them in a pile of de-
bris, through which it rolled them
and inflicted a number of injuries.
Neither man, however, was seriously
injured. Horses, hogs, cows and
chickens in the path of the tornado
were reported killed on several diff
ferent farms.
The tornado was accompanied by a
funnel shaped cloud that reached
from the heavens to the earth, and a
heavy rain fell shortly after the wind
began to blow. The approach of the
storm was witnessed by a large num-
Der of persons, who had plenty OF
time to seek safety in fight to cellars
and caves. Passenger train No. "a
on the Northwestern barely missed
being caught in the path of the tor
nado. The conductor of the train
saw the storm approaching and stop
ped his train, clearing the storm in
safety.

CHEAPER GAS
PRICE OF GASOLINE REDUCED
ONE CENT A GALLON.

Sioux City, June 19.-Cost of JOY
riding is to be reduced. The Stand
ard Oil company yesterday announced
a 1-cent reduction in the price of
gasoline a gallon, the result to go in
to effect at once. The reduction af-
fects the whole western field of the
company, or all those dealers in
states under the jurisdiction of the
Chicago Office of the company.
Following in the wake Of the re-
duction on gasoline came a reduction
in the price of kerosine, the price of
which was ordered lowered " cent
per gallon. Joy riders are not SO
much interested in the reduction Of
the price on kerosine as they are in
that of gasoline, but they have an oc-
casional use for it about their ma
chimes and the notice of the reduction
was received with the same elated
feeling as the one on gasoline caused.
