WASHINGTON , Jan. 7 The sen
ate will continue to give practically
uninterrupted attention to the army
reorganization bill until that measure
shall bo disposed of. That the bill
will pass no one doubts , and the gen
eral opinion in that it will get through
some tlmo during the present year.
Senator Hawley , chairman of the
committee oji military affairs , ex
presses the opinion that the measure
will be in conference Wednesday , but
other senators postpone the date some
what. There are several committee
amendments yet to be considered , In
cluding those relating to the army
canteen and the veterinary corps.
It was supposed at one time that the
canteen provision would cause pro
longed debate , but the best opinion now
is that comparatively little time will
be spent on it. A number of amend
ments suggested by Individual senators
will be considered at greater length ,
and some speeches on- the bill as a
whole are yet to be made.
The provision of the bill authoriz
ing the enlistment of Filipinos in the
jirmy of the -United States is among
the features which are almost cer
tain to come in for sharp attack.
With the army bill out of the way ,
the legislative , executive and judicial
appropriation bill will be taken up ,
nnd after it other appropriation bills ,
if any are in shape to be consdered.
The ship subsidy bill will be re
stored to the calendar as the regular
order of business when the army bill
is passed and it will be pressed when
no appropriation bills are waiting con
T ) sideration.
Next Saturday will be largely de
A voted to eulogies upon the late Sen
ator Davis of Minnesota.
The consideration of the reapportionment -
I tionment bill will be resumed tomor
row in the house. The indications
point to a final vote upon the meas
ure on Tuesday , but the fight over the
basis of apportionment is a bitter one
and the debate may be prolonged.
The outcome is not clear. Mr. Hap-
kins is still confident that his bill will
carry , but in order to pull it through
he Is now ready to concede an increa-e
of three members to cover the ma
jor fractions of the states of Florida.
Colorado and North Dakota. If his
bill passes it probably will be with
this modification.
The opposition is very aggressive ,
but on the surface seems to lack the
strength necpspary to carry the -Bur-
I'l ' leigh bill. There are forces at work ,
, r however , by which the opposition

Missouri Fears : i
KANSAS CITY , Jan. 7. At a meet
ing of the beard of health of this city
today Dr. S. C. James , resident mem
ber of the State Board of Health , said

PHIL ARMOUR IS D AD.
Millionaire Fork Packer of Chicago ,
Oiualin and Kansas City , I'aiicca A wiijr.
CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 7. Philip Ban-
forth Armour philanthropist , fliia-
clcr and multi-millionaire , head of
the vast commercial establishment
that bears his name died at his home ,
2115 Prairie avenue yesterday.
A muscular affection of the heart ,
known to the medical profession as
myocarditis , was the immediate cause
of death. He had been slowly recov
ering from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. At 9
o'clock this morning his heart gave
way under the strain of his recent
illness , his pulse running * up to 103.
That was the beginning of the end.
Mr. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died. Those at his
bedside beside his physician and
nurses were his wife , Mrs. Philip D.
Armour , Jr. , and Mr. and Mrs. J. Ogden -
den Armour , and Rev. Frank Gun-
saulus The millionaire retained con
sciousness until withinan hour of
his death.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around him
he had said :
"I know I am very sick , and am
ready for death when It comes. "
Soon arter luncheon , and just be
fore the physician forbade his talking
more , Mr. Armour in feeble tones sa.d
that he would like to hear the Lord's
prayer read.
One of the trained nurses who had
been attending him , drew a chair to
the bedside and slowly read from the
bible the prayer for which the dying
man had asked. It was read sentence
by sentence and each was repeated
by Mr. Armour. When the "amen"
had been repeated by him , he sank
back on the pillow and closed his
eyes restfully. It was the last word
the great financier spoke , except feeble
farewells to his family a little later.
Dr. Frank Billlns , who was at Mr.
Armour's bedside when the end came ,
and who had been almost constantly
in attendance upon the sick man ,
stated -tonight that he had heard Mr.
Armour make no mention of his inter
est in or profits arising from the gi
gantic Milwaukee-Great Northern
deal , by which he has reputed to have
made $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 last week.
"He looked upon such holdings , "
said Dr. Billings , "as investments rath
er than from the speculative view
point. "
"We were not altogether unpre
pared for my father's death , " said J.
Ogden Armour. "All the members o
the family had been here since the
relapse of this morning , in anticipa
tion of the most serious turn of
events. "
The news of Mr. Armour's death
spread rapidly through the city and
tonight there were many callers a\
the Prairie avenue mansion.
Mrs. Armour retired to her apart
ments and during the evening saw
only the members of her immediate
family. J. Ggden Armour , who , with
his wife , had been at the bedside of
the dying millionaire all day , received
the callers during the evening.
It was announced that the funeral
services would be held probably at
the Armour mansion , either Tuesday
or Wednesday. They will be conduct
ed by Dr. Gunsaulus , and , in keeping
with the life and habits of the de
ceased , will be simple in character.

whose founders removed in 1S40 from
various parts of Russ-ra to the Cau-

of Simon Nwcomb McGee , the astron

surgeon in the United army in August ,

field and hospital work. The appoint
ment carried with it the rank of first
lieutenant and the right to wear the
shoulder straps and uniform of an
officer of that grade , a right for which
she did not avail herself. The work
for which she was appointed having
now been fairly organized , Dr. McGee
has resigned , and no successor will be
named.
Currying Away the Monument.
The Washington monument Is said
to be slowly but surely disappearing.
Vandals are carrying it away in their
pockets. The interior is constantly
being defaced. In many places the
inscriptions on stones contributed by
the various states of the union , as
well as those sent by organizations ,
have been greatly injured. From the
appearance of some of the marble it
lias been attacked with inron instru
ments. Letters have been broken off
the tablets. While the great bulk of
the damage is doubtless done by relic
hunters , some of the highly polished
stones have been injured simply for
the sake of defacing them.
A VETERAN SPEAKS.
The Honorable Moses It. Crane of Ta-
comu , Wash. , Tells How Old Soldiers
May Help Thomnelve * .
Tacoma , Wash. , Jan. 5 , 1901. ( Spe
cial. ) "I used to have Heart Disease ,
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills I
now have Heart's Ease.
"Five years ago I was a continual
sufferer of Heart Disease. Exposure
during the war , and a tendency to grow
over fleshy , had greatly aggravated
this dread disease. I often had to sit up
half the night. I had it so bad when I
would lie down. Life looked pretty blue
to me , as I thought there was no relief ,
until one day I read an advertisement
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I bought a box
that same day , and it was the best
day's work I ever did. Before I had
used all the first box I could eat and
sleep better than I had done for many
years , and after three months' faithful
treatment , My health was completely
restored. I am an" old man now , but
my step is as elastic and my brain as
clear as when I was thirty years of
age. "
These are the words of the Hon.
Moses B. Crane , secretary of Odin
Lodge , No. 123 , I. 0. O. F. of this city.
The Hon. Mr. Crane is also Senior
Vice-Commander of G. A. R. Post No.

Those who know Mr. Crane have the
fullest confidence in his honesty and
truthfulness , and know that he would
not give this unsolicited testimonial
unless he had actually experienced the
relief which he indicates in his letter.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are having a won
derful sale among Mr. Crane's friends
and their name is legion in this
part of the country. There does not
seem to be a single case of Heart Dis
ease , Kidnej' or Bladder Weakness , or
Rheumatism , that Dodd's Kidney Pills
do not permanently cure.

DeafucHg Cannot Ho Cured
by local applications , as they cannot reach the
disea.-ed portion of the oar. There is only one
way to cure deafness , and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachlnn Tube. When this lube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing , and when it Is entirely closed deafness is
the result , and unless ; the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition , hearing will be destroyed forever ;
"
nine cases out of ten are caused"by catarrh ,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness ( caused by catarrh ) that cannot
