Dr. John Smits who for number of
weeks had office rooms in the Delta
National bank building, of this city,
died at Glenwood Springs, Saturday,
October Goth. After leaving Delta
DR.. Smits continued his surgical prac-
tice at Glenwood Springs and Lead
vile until a little more than a week
before his death, when he was seized
by Spanish influenZat at Leadville.
His recovery seemed to be rapid.
In few days he was up and about
his work, only to suffer a relapse. He
hastened to Glenwood Springs. but
pneumonia set in and in less than two
days after his final attack he passed
away.
DIR. Smits was born in Holland, 80
years ago. He was educated princi-
pally in Paris. II was in this city that
he received his higher literary train
ing as well as his technical education.
He engaged in the practice of medi-
cine and surgery in that city. until
some years ago the Glenwood Springs,
Water and Hotel company. a London
syndicate. secured his services for
their many patients who came from
all parts OF the world to avail them
selves of the baths for which Glen
wood Springs is famous. Df Smits
built up a large general practice in
this city. Gradually his surgical work
grew in volume until some years ago

to engage exclusively in surgery. Be
ing frequently called to LeaGville 10
perform surgical operations. he open
ed an office in that city, dividing his
time between it and Glenwood Springs.
Some six months ago the altitude Q,
Leadville and Glenwood Springs began
to noticably affect his health. so lie
came to Delta in search OF a climat ?
more agreeable.
DR. Smits was a physical or extra.
ordinary skill and ability. His dep ,r-
ture from Leadville and GienwoUd
Springs. was lamented by the popu-
lace of these places, where ais fine
skill was recognized. The people re.
joiced in his return. And DR.. Smits
was not only a splendid physician and
surgeon. but a man Of the finest ciassi-
cal scholarship as well. Furthermore
he was a gentleman. He possessed
those attributes that make Il real man,
a man OF sterling worth and ire
proachable character. Those VIC
knew him best entertained for him
not only the highest personal REGARD,
bat an affection of which only a real
man and a sincere friend are worthy.

Delta county on Tuesday. The auar-
antine regulations over the county lin

out of stration of about 600.

was greatly reduced in the county,
but he still ad plenty O. votes not
only in D..lta county but throughout

Result over the state were: The
Republicans elected Phipps for sena-

men. governor and probably the entire
state ticket Some of the candidates
are very close and it may require the
official count to decide.
George Stephan, the home candidate
for lieutenant governor. carried the
county by 512.
Robert F. Rockwell was returned
to the legislature.
The clerkship apparently went to
Mrs. Carolyn Seaton, Democrat, by a

the ground in the case of all except this German
born Confederate The war was virtually ended
by Lees surrender in April, 1866, and officially
ended by the surrender Of the last Confederate
army in the following May. Six months after
the ending of the war, on Nov. 10, 1865, Henry
Wirz was hanged in the Old Capitol Prison at
Washington for violation of the laws OF war"
That was the wording Of the findings OF the
military commission which tried him. It found
him guilty of conspiring "malciously, traitor
ously, and in violation of the laws of war, to inn
pair and injure the health and to destroy the
lives of large numbers Of Federal prisoners, to
wit, the number of about $4,000 soldiers in the
military service Of the United States, held as
prisoners Of war at Andersonville, in the State
of Georgia" The sentence of death bore this
endorsement:
The proceedings, findings, and sentence Of
the court in the within case are approved, and it
is ordered that the sentence be carried into exc
cution by the officer commanding the Depart
ment Of Washington, on Friday the 10th day of
November, 1865 between the hours Of o'clock
a. M and IL o'clock noon. Andrew Johnson,
President.
This case clearly points the way-a military
commission, which in this case would be a mixed
one. Where Wirz was convicted Of the violation
of only one of the laws of war, there are German
officers guilty Of many violations. In some cases.
as the murder of Captain Fryatt, it will be easy
to get at the perpetrators; in other cases, hard
and therefore the terms of peace should make

Such crimes as those of the Lusitania, the An
