CHRIS STEIN, Sc,
FRUSTRATED BY
HEAT, IS DEAD
Worked at Mill Till 5 O'clock
When Pol Ketterer Took
Him Home.
WAS THIRD STROKE
WITHIN LAST WEEK
Refused to Heed Warning to
Quit-Was Veteran
Miller.

Chris F. Stein, one of the Cape's
veteran millers and widely known over
the county, died at GAS o'clock last
night at his home, from heat prOStra-
ton after he had completed a days
work at the Lee L. Albert mill where
he was employed.
His death followed two heat strokes
which he suffered earlier in the week,
and all day yesterday, before he was
taken to his home from the mill, his
fellow-workers had urged him to quit
and go home for rest.
Not until o'clock did he consent to
desist from his work when companions
urged him to do so. He then went to
the rear part of the mill where he sat
down. He was lapsing into uncon-
seriousness when he was found there
about $50 o'clock by Polly Ketterer.
Ketterer helped him on his way to his
home at 80 South Sprigg street.
On his arrival home, he had a fever
that mounted to 107. A doctor was
summoned and he was taken inside
20 lie down upon a couch. About
quarter to I o'clock, his wife left the
room to get some cold water and on
her return, she found that he was
dead.
She was Frustrated, and last night
was in a serious condition. Three
months ago, Mrs. STEMS mother, Mrs.
Lood, died.
Last Monday while he was at his
home, Mr.. Stein suffered a heat stroke
and fell down a flight of steps. He
rallied and continued his work at the
mill. Wednesday he suffered the sec
ond stroke, and in similar fashion he
rallied and returned to his work.
He had been urged to take a rest
several days ago, but he insisted on
going to the mill.
NJ. Stein was the head miller at the
Broadway mill of Stein & Lance that
was burned more than year ago. He
was born in the Cape and was Sc years
old. When he grew up he learned the
milling business and worked at it sue
cessively in BurfOrdville, Jackson and
the Cape. One of his brothers, Louis
Stein, who now lives in California, was
one of the owners of the Broadway
mill.
Mr.. Stein is survived by his wife and
three children. His son, Alvine Stein
lives at home as well as Miss Myrtle
Stein. One daughter, Mrs. Erna Tur-
ner, lives at Pittsburg, Kan.
NJ. STEMS father, who is 90 years
old, also survives him and lives at
Gordonville Three brothers survive
Fred, Louis and Gus Stein.

al, she can not reach this city before

AUGUST 5.

As governor of the state Judge Hen
nv Lamm will be a distinct success, in
the opinion of the best informed law
vers. As a supreme Judge he has
never had a peer on that august bench
of past distinguished lawyers. His de-
cisions revealed a depth of learning
and inquisitorial ability scarcely ever
equaled by contemporary or previous
members of the bench, and his opinions
were such that the state came to know
him as a friend of the people when
giving decisions wherein the people
were concerned.
They point to his record with pride
as having been the member of the
bench who wrote the famous opinion
declaring the people had a right to
look into ballot boxes to discover
whether they were being deprived of
their suffrage rights.
Lamm was an honor to the bench.
In Lno governor OllICS HC VIII hoiOi
the people of the state with an adj
ministration that will send the state
upward from the bottom of the lad
der to the run of efficiency in state
government. He will probably start
the work by having that indefensible
primary law forever wiped from the
statute books. To accomplish that re-
suit Democrats by the score will sup
port him, knowing that he is vitality
interested in that one particular piece
of legislation.
Not only brilliant and able, Judge
Lamm will prove himself above sus-
ceptibility to any Establishments offer
ed by those most prominently identi-
fed with the defeat of his worthy OPP
ponent. Every Republican can sup
port him with assurance that he will
give the state exactly the opposite adj
ministratiOn of government Of that
which it has received for some time.

Republicans of the state come from
Kansas City and is printed in this is
sue Ct The Republican as a news item.
From time to time The Republican
has stated that it felt certain the Re-
publicans of the state would not per-
nit those two gentlemen who have
particular axes to grind to dictate the
nominee of the party. Both of them
wealthy in their own right and repre-
sentatives of millions invested in beer
breweries and other large corpora
tions, they have by mere weight of
Iucra-infiuence been able to control or
dominate party proceedings in the
mast. But now the time has come
when they are apparently scheduled to
receive a Jolt they will not soon forget.
Republican leaders at Kansas City
whe.c Stifel and Howe have spent the
week trying to win support for poor
Judge I.amm, have told the two st.
Louisans that because of the influence
behind Lamm he can get no support
in Kansas City. Kansas City would
really be for Charles Morris of st. Jo-
seph if there were any chance for him
to get the nomination. Since John
Swanger apparently has the state
"sewcd up" Kansas City will be found
in line for him before the primary
three weeks hence.
The news item concerning the de-
velopments in Kansas City plainly dis
closes the "patriotism" of those two
St. Louis gentlemen for their party.
With their strength in St. Louis
waning, Howe and Stifel were forced
to rush to Kansas City to recOup and
hold their deluded, victims in St. Louis
in line. With such blow as their as
pirations have received in the west
ern metropolis. st. Louis will now take
the cue and proceed to flop by the time
the primary rolls around.
The large body of Republicans are
taking hand in the affairs of the par
tv and not leaving it to few special
interests to control the party's selec-
tons of candidates. Stlfel and Howe
should have learned such lesson
when they saw Hughes nominated at
Chicago by the people instead of by
the bosses. The old order of things Is
forever over.
