DEATH OF I. E. VAITDOEAN.
I. E. VanDoran died at his home
in this city Wednesday evening- at
five o'clock, the direct cause of
death being" a cancerous tumor
which obstructed the bowels at the
point where the small intestines
join with the larger on the right
side. The deceased had more or
lejss trouble with his bowels for a
year or more past, and he received
treatment at times which afforded
him temporary relief. About two
weeks ago a complete obstruction
the bowels occurred, which the ef
forts of physicians failed to remove.
A consultation was held and it was
decided that the only hope for the
patient would be an operation.
The latter was performed Wednes
day afternoon by Doctors Donald
son and Lucas, assisted by Doctors
Longley and Eves, but the patient
was too weak to withstand the
trying ordeal and" he expired in
about two hours, not having re
covered consciousness. The phy
sicians say there was no possible
hope for his recovery had pob4he
operation -been performed, as he
had not taken enough food the past
week to keep a bird alive.
The deceased came to this citv
with his parents from New York in
183, and had since made this his
home. At one time he was asso
ciated with "W. L. Park in conduct
ig a genis iurnisning store, and
also run the livery stable now op
era tea oy a.-ivi. iocr. isy reason
of his long" residence here he had a
wide acquaintance and was held in
esteem by all who knew him. He
was 40 years of age and leaves
wife and two children to mourn his
death, and to these the sympathy
of our people go forth.
The funeral occurred this morn
ing" at ten o'clock from his late res
idence.

RESOLUTIONS.
Wherras, It has pleased the Almighty
Ruler of the universe, in His infinite
wisdom, to remove from among us our
beloved brother knight, George W. DH--lard.
therefore' be it- ; -
Resolved, That it is with p'afn and
sorrow that we record the death of our
associate, friend and brother. We shall
Bee his faeo no more, but the record and
memory of his clean and noble life will
remain an example and an inspiration to
all who knew him. He was a man of
comprehensive intellect, discreet, judic
ious, just. Ho was kind, sympathetic
and charitable. The poor, the unfortu
nate, the helpless, never appealed to him
in vam: His integrity was incorrupti
ble; no false light, no sophistry, no
temptation, turned him from the path
of duty. As a citizen, soldier, a brother,,
he served his country with distinction -and
honor. In his every day life he
carried out the principles and objects of
our noble order Friendship, Chanty
Benevolence; and be it
Resolved, That in order to do rever-
enco to our late beloved knight, the
charter of Mazeppa Lodge No. 115,
Knights of Pythias, be draped in mourn
ing for a period of thirty days, and that
these resolutions be spread of record in
this lodge, and that a copy ot the same
be conveyed to the family of our de
cefised brother; and be it further
Resolved, That we earnestly commend
his keeping to Him whose loving kind
ness and tender mercies are more com
forting and sustaining than any earthly
friends can be.
