Har rison Preason and Miss Oladva Whltlock ara dead and Mrs. H. T. WhIUuck. tha young man's grandmother, Is seriously 111 at a hospital aa a result of gas es caping from a defective gas fixture In tha Preason home. Rev. Mr, Presson had just moved Into tha place yeaterday and exldently waa not aware of the condition of th fixtures. The . discovery of the tragedy was made by Mrs. Mary Plants, who came to tha house this morning to aaatst la putting things In order. Finding It locked she want to a natshbor's, Mrs Mary Oartner, and reported, saying that she thought aha smelted gaa when she went te tha rear door. The two went to the place and with tha assistance of Mrs. Oaitner's son forced the door, finding Rev. Mr. Preeaon and the young woman dead and tha older woman u noon scions. She doubtless owes her life to via vine slept with her head mar a window, which wa not tight and admitted soma fresh air. i. H. Presson of th governor' office, a son, waa Sotlfled at onoa and II making arrangement for th funeral, whlrh though not definitely settled, probably will ba at Auburn Friday. Rev Harrison Presson has resided In Nebraska since 171, but visited this state In IMA, preaching tha first' sermon de livered en 'the alia of the present city fit Omaha, two years before the own w laid ut. He waa born In fVeeport. Me., February' . Ml, and last Febtuarr, wh the oeeastori of his atth birthday a num ber of his grand army friends called and spent the evening with him. In spile of his advanced years ha waa hale and vigorous and his mind was per fectly clear. He moved to Ohio when a child and from there went to Illinois In Met, residing titer at th breaking out of tha cMl war .snlletlng In th Fifty fifth Illinois Infantry, being chosen first lieutenant of Company F. Ha cams to Nebraska to make hi home la W?t and haa resided her sver since. He waa tha father of fourteen shildrn, seven of whom ar still living, as follows: Rev. J. H. Presson. Lincoln; Elisabeth. Min neapolis; Flora, New Mexico: lAura. Mankato. Minn.; Alio. Auburn; Burt. Orand Island. Neb , and Rev. Butler Prea son of Idaho. When another attempt was made yes terday to get tha Real Estate exchange to endorse the CltUens' union ticket, one of the most exctted argumenta ever oc curring at a meeting of the organisation waa precipitated, which, -after an hour's polemic, finally resulted In voting the resolution down. When It waa proposed that a com mittee of three be appointed to get out the vote at next Tuesday's election, the suggestion waa given Henry B. Payne to more the endorsement of th Cltissns' union ticket. Y. D. Weed tu quick to second the motion and W. T. Ore ham asked for "th question." Then It hap pened. Harry A. Wolf, C. F. Harrison. Carl C. Wilson. D. C Patterson and several others promptly jumped to the floor and objected. "This exchange should not go Into such a thing aa this In ao haphazard a way," declared Wolf. "We should not jump In and endorse the whole Cltlsrns' union ticket without Investigation. We should not Indirectly compel every member of the exchange to vote tor the Cltlsena' union. It would have no effect In secur ing the election of those men. It's very effect would be to put tba exchange on record as for them. AH those men will not he elected and some day we would be aorry. The exchange ahould keep out of politics." Weald tie mm Record. W want to express wher thl ex change la at." H. B. Payne retaliated. "If the exrhang would commit itself w could get out a blame sight mora votes than by th simple statement that we ara In favor of good government and oppoaed to machine rule." "I have been watching this excliange for a long time." said W. II. Thomas, "and have seen that It haa been gradu ally developing Into a political party. I believe It would do the exchange an In jury to take a stand In this matter and endorse the Cltlsena' union." "Is Mr. Thomas a voterf Interposed Graham. "Yes; and I don't believe w ahould dabble In politic." wa th rejoinder. Patlerewa la Doabt. D. C. Patterson then came Into the fray. "I am In doubt myself," ha aald, "what wa should do in this matter. Wa all hope for some of the Cltlsens union to win. I am not In favor of tha whole ticket. If we endorse It do wa not draw tha fir of Dahlmaa agaJnat th axohangar' Mr. Wead began to see It the ether way. H explained that when Mr. Ben eon ran for office tha exrhange did not endorse him, but got out at the election aa In dividual and worked for him. He be lieved th exrhange should do this In th case of th Cltlsena' union. The resolution to work to get out the vote and got to go on record aa endorsing tha CHIiens' union ticket waa passed.

We hear from time to time that the day of th silk hat haa passed and that a death blow has been struck at this tyranny of male fashion. But perhaps this optiroistlc forecast must be revised in view of the terrible news that reaches us from China. We are now uaed to ware and rumors of wars from the Celes tial kingdom, but the worst was yet to come. China has decided to adopt the silk hat In place of the pigtail, and the chang haa been made compulsory among the official classes and tha mem bers of foreign embassies Hera in the west wa believe that we ara emancipated from th abomination; that we have thrown off th (hackles. But w haven't. Tha silk hat Is still worn upon festive occasions, at ceremo nies, at marriages, and when wa expert to shake hands with the president. Ordi narily we keep th horror hidden awav In a closet, but we worship It all the same. We regard It aa a link with better daya, and when occasion require us to wear It we do It with a sense of fatuoue pride. In spite of our ordinary vllllanotn appearance we foal that wa can do the right thing when w have to, that we ar still hitched to the proprletlea. And so it Is hardly more than w years ago that a man prosecuted for wearing a silk hat. It waa a first offense. It was the first time that any one had offended In such a way, and so the court waa perplexed aa to mow the wretch should be dealt with. He was required to give a bond for future behavior, bur If th judge had only known the effect of hla llltlmed leniency he would have ordered that the malefactor he boiled 'n oil. hanged, draws and quartered, and then confined in a lunatic asylum for th rest of hla natural Ufa, ' Thla abandoned creature waa called John Hetherlngton, and he was a Lon don haberdasher. An old work on cos tumes haa this to say of him: "Th re sult of wearing such a startling novelty In head gear waa that a large crowd of spectators gathered round the haber dasher before he had proceeded far along tha atreet. Hetherlngton wa ar raigned before the Lord Mayor on a charge of breach of tha peace, and waa required to give bonda In tha sum of (Mo. Tha evidence produced want to show that Mr. Hethaiinton who wa well connected, appeared on tha pub"c highway wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which waa produced), a tall atruetur having a ahlny luster, and calculated to frighten timid people. T officers of the crown stated that several women fainted at tha unusual alght, whlla children screamed, doge yelped. and a young son of Cordlwlner Thomaa waa thrown down by the crowd which had collected and had hla arm broken." Hetherlngton ia presumably dead, and If It would be possible (o add In any way to hla just torments, we would Ilka to give him an opportunity to peep over the edge of hell and to see Chinamen wearing top hat.
