For ten days before his death he had failed per ceptibly but was still able to sit up most of the time and Friday evening he ate his supper and walked from the tabb through two rooms to tb.3 led from which he never roce g?in. .

OSTEEL 1 RANGE 1 6 I FOR ONE WEE-K HI Mr. FolK Reward. All the world has learned to admire Circuit Attorney J. W. Folk, of St. Louis, who. in a quiet, unostentatious way, has brought to trial sixteen of the clique of boodlers who have been preying on the taxpayers ot the exposition city, and has secured ' the conviction of fifteen of the gang. The dispatches state that Mr. Folk recently secured the confession of a former state senator disclosing the latter's connection with a series of corrupt deals covering a period of eight years, and involving a number of men who have figured prominently in state affairs during this period. It has been the effectual work of Mr. Folk, carried forward In an unobtrusive way, which has redeemed the reputation of St. Louis, and is slowly working a complete reform in the city's municipal affairs. Such a service as Mr. Folk has performed cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Its only reward is the appreciation of the public and the name and fame which came from doing an important official duty well. Marion News -Tribune. LE M7. Excuriicrj.
