General Lee was one of the last three surviving lieutenant generals of the Confederacy. Overexertion Thurs- day of last week in the ceremenies at- tendant upon the reunion of Iowa and ‘Wisconsin veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic at Vicksburg brought about General Lee'’s illness. Follow- Ing the reception of the Northern vis- itors, in which General Lee took a leading part, he suffered an attack of acute indigestion, but later rallied and during the past week showed much improvement. Wednesday afternoon, however, he again collapsed and grew gradually weaker until death relieved his sufferings. General Lee was one of the South Carolina Lees. He was born in that state in 1833.

MANY CONTESTS ON HAND Republican National Committee Holds Balance of Power. Chicago, May 29.—With contests for more than 200 seats to be decided the balance of power of the Republican national convention will lie in the hands of the national committee next ‘week, when that body convenes to make up the temporary roll. Although the Taft managers insist that they have enough votes to nom- Inate their candidate on the first bal- Iot, even though all the contests be decided agnins\t them, his opponents declare that his total strength of the uncontested delegates on the first bal- Iot will be about 350, or 140 less than it would take to nominate him. As a result it will be necessary for his friends to secure a favorable decision from the committee in a large major- ity of the contests. In practically all of the contests the Taft men are on the defensive and this makes it the more critical for the Taft boom. Another point which makes the decision of the contests of great importance I8 the fact that with- out the yotes which are being con- tested Taft will not even control the votes by states and this vote is neces- sary to make up the new national com- mittee and the committee on o=~ musician, and her numbers are al- offices of the- Daily Pioneer, Even- at the baseball park. innings of strenuous exemplification of the great national pastime, and from the usual run, and are really Promises to ,be the principal event in baseball circles this year. are a few old-timers who have got the nerve to think they are still in it with the present generation of ball tossers. will be as follows: ham, Ib; Larson, Hendry, 3b; Clark, ss.

An incident in connection with Gen- eral Stephen D. Lee's military career not generally known is the fact that he directed the firing of the first shot of the Civil war. He was ome of the two officers of the South Carolina troops sent by General Beauregard to demand the surrender of Fort Sumter and on the refusal of this demand he qrdered the first battery to fire on the fort. b ONE CENT A WORD.
