In the death of Dr. Zalmon K. Brown, who passed away at St. Mary's Hospital, Duluth, Friday afternoon last, Virginia loses one of her noblest citizens and humanity loses a tried and true friend—a man whose memory perisheth not and of whom none speak but with kindness and sin cere regret. Dr. Brown was born at King wood, West Virginia, in 1861, his parents moving to Morgan town while he was yet an infant, and where his youth and early life was spent. He waseducated in the schools of Morgantown, passing through the High School and in 1882 graduating with high honors from the West Virginia State University,IJat that point. Later he entered the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, from which he graduated in '88. Shortly thereafter he entered upon a business career, entering a partnership with Dr. D. H. Courtney at his old home, which partnership continued for a num ber of years. In the spring of 1893 he came to the range, first settling at Mt. Iron but removing to this city later tbe same year, where a phenomenal practice at tended his efforts and where the loss of his medical skill is felt even as is the loss of his hearty greeting and cheerful presence. During the summer Dr. Brown passed through a tedious seige of typhoid recovering therefrom he started south for his health in the early autumn, but at Du luth entered St. where Mary's surgical of Hospital he underwent a difficult operation for an abscess the liver, the subsequent cause of death. The funeral services were con ducted from St. Mary's Hospital on Saturday, Rev. Long, D. D,, delivering the address. The cereriionies were under the aus pices of tiie Duluth lodge of the and beloved member the renins being taken to Morgantown for interment, accompanied by his brother, J. M. G. Brown. Dr. Robert L. Brown, of Cincinnati, also accompanied the cortege as far as Chicago. Dr. Brown was a man of gen*, ial manner and kindly disposi tion, attributes which won for him the love and respect of all, and the news of his demise and the ending of his trying struggle for life, while not unexpected, cast a gloom over the entire com munity. In 1892 Dr. Brown was mal ried to Miss Lena Donley, of Mount Morris, Pa., and a wife and three children survive to mourn the *oss of a kind and loving hus band and indulgent father. To thex, in their irreparable loss, is extended the sympathy of all in this, their hour of sorrow and to them is also pointed the bright star of Hope of a future re-union where there shall be neither sor row nor parting. Again has the Silent Reaper entered our midst and carried to that mystic and eternal beyond one of Virginia's best known and most popular young men, one known and admired by all for his manly traits, his characteris tic generosity and noble attrib utes—Charles C. Helmuth. The illness of Mr. Helmuth dates back but ten days, his case being originally diagnosed and attended by Dr. Stuart Bates, who on Saturday last assured him he was so greatly improved that he might ges up and about, and it was expected by all that he would be able to shortly re sume his daily routine of life But on Sunday he underwent a sudden and marked change for the worse, from which he did not rally, passing away at about 2 p. m. on Tuesday. Mr. Helmuth was born at Whitmore Lake, in Lower Mich igan, May 30th, 1870, being 29 years of age at his last birthday anniversary. As he grew up he attended and graduated from tbe South Lyon High School, later attending and taking a business course at Beloit ollege, Beloit, Wis. He was well-known to many people on the iron ranges, spending several years .of his earlier business career at Iron Mountain, Mich., where he be*- 1 came assistant cashier in the bank, leaving there in 1892 for Merritt, on the Eastern Mesaba, where he entered the* employ of O. D. Kinney & Co. as dashier of the Bank of Merritt which position he held for several month before coming to Virgins ia, to accept the responsible position of cashier for the Oliver company which he held until the change in management. Thereafter Mr. Helmuth moved to Hurley, Wis.* where he re mained for some time, returning here during the past summer and accepting a situation with the Bank of Virginia. One and one-half years ago Mr. Helmuth was united in mar riage to Miss Marie Dahl, of thiseity. Prom this union of hearts a son has since been born, and to the bereaved widow' and child is extended the sympathy of the entire community in their sad and untimely affliction. To the bereaved parents and rela tives is also extended the sym pathy of all. Funeral services were held from the M. E. Church this morning, the services being con ducted by Rev. C. R. Oaten, un der the auspices of Northern Light Lodge, No. 127, Knights of Pythias, of which deceased an honored and esteemed mem ber. The remains were taken to the old home at South Lyon, Michi gan. accompanied by his brother, Rev. Jos. W. Helmuth, Mazoma nie, Wis., and his sister, Mrs. Louise Uren, of Hurley. With the heart broken widow and fatherless child the city mourns and sympathizes and the crowded church, the beautiful floral offerings and the manifest grief of all testified to the place held in our hearts by this friend and brother whose "sun has gone down while it was yet day."

Mr. Bruce writes he has been in the hotel business in tbe States and Canada for a number of years, and desires inform a tion of Virginia, the resources and solidity of the community, and other information bearing upon the subject. W. E. Hanna ford, who as former secretary of of the defunct Association receiv ed the letter promptly turned same over to the committee in charge of the hotel project. It is also understood that Mr. John €rlo(fe, of Ely, proprietor of the popalar Glode hotel at that place, is looking up the proposi tion made by Virginians toward securing this needed semi public improvement to the city. These inquiries prove that the efforts of the committee are qutte apt to be rewarded, and are also accepted as evidence of the fact the reorganization of the Busi ness Men's Association, bonding together our business fraternity for aught of public interest and good, might work advantageous ly in many ways.
