It wuu found that tho senator was suffering from a sudden attack of heart disease and that hu was beyond the power of medicines. At 4:30 ho had passed awny. The senator's lllneto was so sudd.u that none of his rela tives could bo summoned to his bedside. It has been decided to take the remains directly to Iowa without services In Wnsh inzton. The casket will bo carried to Uurllngton tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning tbo senator summoned his confidential secre tary, Colonel It.

About 4 o'clock the sena tor seemed to bo easier, nnd when asked by Mrs. Gear as to his condltlou, replied inlntly: "I feci a trlflo better." These were his Inst words.

John Henry Gear has been-a prominent figure in Iowa politics for more than u gen eration. His llret office was that of mayor of Burlington, to which position ho was elected in 1SB3. Since that time- he has often been elected to pooltlons of public trust, all of which havo been discharged with such ildellty as to win htm tho sobri quet of "Old Business." Hu llret attractod state-wide attention In 1872, when ho was elected to tho stato legislature. Tho bco slon which followed In 1S73 was what Is known as tho "Granger" legislature. Tho lower houso was a tie between tho repub licans on ono oido nnd tho com bined forces of tho democrats and the grangers on the other. Gear was tho republican candldato for speaker and John II. Dixon of Ottumwa the candl dato of the opposition. Tbero was a long deadlock, which was finally broken by an agreement to elect Gear speaker and di vide tho offices and commltteo chairman ships. Tho scsolon was a short and busy one. He was elected governor two terms, nerv ing from 1S7S to 1SS2. His termB as gov ernor were characterized by tho samo ng 'gnmlvo business methods n3 his other ventures lu political fields. Ono Incident Is characteristic of tho man. When he was governor a succession of heavy snow storms blockaded tho railroads lu tho state. Tho northwestern portion at that tlmo wan sparsely cot tied and tho roads devoted nil their energies to opcnlns: up tho lines of most Importance, leaving tho northwest blockaded for a long time. Provisions and coal became scarco and a demnnd went up that tho roads bo opened up. The governor did not think tho companies woro putting forth as great an effort as they might and summoning tho raanngew informed thorn 4V 'He That is Warm Thinks All So. tt Thousands ate "cold" in (fiat (hey do not understand the glow of health, Tius implies disordered kidneys, liver, bowels, blood or brain.

The rosds were clcarei of snow In record time, nnj by the com panies' cmoloyps. Ho served two terms In congress, tin Fiftieth and FIfty-nret. The district li thoso days was a close one and In both In stances ho defeated tho strongest men It, tho democratic ranks. He was also as sistant secretary of the treasury In tho first Harrison administration. Ho was elected to the senate for the tern beginning March 4, lfcDS. He wns re-elected last winter for another term of six years In the sctintc, beginning March 4, 1901. A Worker 11 ml Not n i'nIUor, As n legislator he was not noted as a specchmaker, but rather for his quiet nnf persistent work. His opinion on all sub pects was nhvajn sought by his colleagues and great weight attached to It.

Twenty years after ward he was elected mayor of tho city of Uurllngton, an:l, having moro or lota po .Itlcal ambition, ho was elected a member f the, Iowa houso of representatives of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth general assemblies of tho state, serving as speaker during the last two terms. GUESS AT GEAR'S SUCCESSOR Vtillin;tn rnlltiflnni lteulu to Siieeuliile nn to the Identity of tho Next Senntor. WASHINGTON, July II. (Special Tele cram.) Hardly had tho announcement of Senator Gear's death bct-n made public around the capital when Iowans lu Washing ton began speculating upon hl3 successor. It In generally thought that Governor Shaw will not call nn extra session of the legis lature to fill tho vacancy created by the death of Gear, but will appoint his suc cessor until the legislature convenes In regular session and elects a senator In duo form. Governor Sbaw In known to bo nn aspirant for thu succession. In tho event that Governor Shaw should dccldo to call tho leglslaturo together In extraordinary session, It Is thought hero that Congress men Lacy of the Sixth. Hull of tho Seventh and cx-Cougresman Perkins of the Kiev cnth district will havo a strong following, while A. B. Cummins of Dto Molncs, who received tho voto of the anti-Gear factlou at tho Ml seoslon of tho Iown legislature, will also bo In tho running. Speaker Hen derson Is also spoken of In connection with tho succcEslon, but net at nil seriously, as he comes from the same city as Senator Al lison, and Is known to have aspirations as hlo own successor In the speaker's chair should tho Fifty-seventh congress bo republican. So grave Is tho Chinese situation that It would not surprlso nnyone hereabouts to havo tho president call congress together In extraordinary session to treat with the question within tho next thirty days. Al ready tho War department Is feeling the drain upon tho appropriation voted nt the last session for transportation of troop?, and unlcns some fund Is discovered that can temporarily bo set nsldo for tho moving of largo bodies of men and hcrsrs, It may be necctsary for tho secretary of war to suspend the transportation of regulars to China. President McKlnley only hesitates to call congress together until he knows beyond peradventuro of doubt that Minister Ctngcr, his family and the nttaches of the American legation hnvo been murdered. Chief Inspector Cochran is contemplating the rearrangement of postofllce Inspection districts, which will place either Iowa or Nebraska in tho district of which St. Paul In headquarters. Tho latter was published about Blx months ngo, and embraces Minne sota nnd tho Dakotas. It Is not so large as tho other wo3tern districts, and It Is re garded as drslrablc to put another state under tho Jurisdiction of the St. Paul In spector. Prospects nro that Nebraska will be detached from tho St. Louis district, as thero seems to bo somo opposition to tho detachment of Iowa from tho Chicago dis trict. Conl for Indlnii Schoolx.

HOPES TO RESTORE PEACE Ex-Secretary Bucncamino Undertakes Paci fication of Filipinos. BILL OF CONDITIONS IS SUGGESTED Clinrite In Millie Tluit AiuitIi'iiii Mil itury AilitiliiUtriitlim Hum Dcfi-atoil ItN Otvn IviitN liy HeliiK i;n tlrcly Too Arbitrary. MANILA, I. I., May 25. (Correspondence of tho Associated Tress.) Kcllpe Iluen camlno, formerly secretary of stato in the Filipino government, surrendered to the American force last December, fully ex pectins to bo shot as soon as it was learneJ who ho was. Instead of executing him, however, tho American officer to whom Huencanilno presented himself Invited the Filipino to ohare his supper of two eggs and a handful of rlco and tho next day sent him down to Manila. Here he wns con fined for three months tn tho Avcla. street Jail. Shortly before General Otis left for home Huencanilno was released and It was understood between Otis and Duencamlno thnt the- latter should devote his energies toward offectlns peace between tho Filipino forcca and thoso of the United States and tho recognition of American sovereignty In tho Philippines by the Filipinos. To this end Huencanilno has composed a peace pro gram, copies of which have beon sent to the prominent leaders of the revolution, both In and out of Manila, and It Is the pur poso of Huencamlno to start tho formation of a "Philippine national party" on tho basis contained in this pronram, a faithful translation of which followo: As the present Filipino revolution Is n direct result of tho Bpanlsh-Amerleaii war, nnd us wo havo declared the United Stilton to bo tho protecting power of our indepen dence. It Is Impossible, In nccordatice with International law, for us to do without the United States In the matter of obtaining our nntonal Independence. Because no country can enter into the concert of ln clopondont nations except in accordance with the rules of that law. Tho proclamation of Kmlllo Aeulnnldo, dated Mny 2), 1S3S. tho revolutionary help given by our troops during tho war be tween Spain nml the United Stntes and tho treaty nf Paris, duted Decemb'-r 10, IffiS, conspired to give to tho United States the role of protecting power over the Phil ippines, as well us that of the belligerent power to whom Spain sold nil her rights for JM.OOO.OOO. And, if to the foregoing legal deductions we udd the fart that tho United States huve clearly shown their determina tion to Intervene In our future, tho Im possibility of resisting their intervention becomes still more evident und elenr. It Is poHslble that the United States, oven- tunlly weary of our present iiystem of wfir fnre, mny decide to sell us to some other power, or elso leavo us to our fate, In which latter case It would devolve upon us to obtain the recognition of our indepen dence from tho natlcinn of the world. This possibility Is fraught with tho Imminent danger that we fall victim to tho ntnbi tlons of the great nations nnd hecome par tlttoncd nmong them. Consequently, It Is necessary that wo recognize th suprcmney of the United Stntes nnd strive to obtain, within tho limits of the American constitu tion, the greatest meiiHtiro of liberty com patible with our welfare. Tho most predominant features in our past Independent government wcro thono Immoralities nnd ubusej which nro the offspring of our own Isnornnro, nnd the vices Inherited by us from Spain. OillntiN I'lllplliu IlcKlnir. Wo Riieceeded in making the Filipino regime co odious to our own peooln that In tho critical moments of our nffnlra the people showed us their hatred; they re spected nolthpr our cabinet ofllcers nor th persotiH of the mother and the son of the president of tho Filipino republic, whom they sold to tbo Americans after first hav ing murdered many of tho leaders, odlcers nnd Holdiers of our army, nnd they have robbed our government of its properties nnd money. Wo require, then, the protect ing pow'cr of the United States to prevent our nntinnnl unity fiom destruction by thoso civil wars which, owing to tho fac tional feelings nnd divisions arising from nur immoralities and abuses, would un doubtedly obtnln were un Independent gov ernment established. The conciliatory policy pursued by the American government notwithstanding our marked hostility to them; tho humnn treat ment of prisoners nnd their release from prison after Rhort detention only; the ln Htnllatlon Into public olllro of tho moro In telligent Filipinos: tho Increase In wages nnd the roniu-qiient betterment of tho la boring classes; the liberal reform In nur laws, nnd the granting to cir towns of u mnrrlago und municipal law eminently democratic, nnd such ns wo did not posipps oven under our own Independent govern ment: all this has Increnced the Kentlmeut for annexation to an extraordinary degren nnd today thero It among u tho keenest competition for all government employ ments. Should the time eome when our clashing Interests will lead brother to light neainst brother wo will then Indeed bo uufnrtunntn nnd to li pitted. Tho Americana will domi nate under theso deplorable clrcutnstnnres and we will be helpless. If, notwithstanding our llcetlng political dlssonslons we can manngo to preserve our national unity wo will always be n respect able nation of 10,000,000 of people and enpublo ultimately of obtnlnlug our na tional emancipation: but If we are divided bv the Irreconclllable hatreds which lead to civil strife we will be nothing more nor less than, n group of tribe nnd wo could easily be reduced to tho level of tho nomad Isnrrotes. For these reasons we should cense hos tllttlu with tbo United State and form a national party which. If we tnko advantage of tho opportunities of tho pretent moment, will always be In tho majority. Another ArKiniieu t fur I'eiier. Another powerful argument for peaco Is the fact that In continuing our present nys tarn of guerrilla warfare we give an oxcuso for tho bud element of our population to llvo by force of arms at the cost of their moro peaceful neighbors; under tho gulao of patriot) thes former tako the field not to fight for our Independence, but him ply to rob nnd enrich themselves, und brigandage In consequently prevalent. Tho 111 effects of such actions aro already felt throughout the land nnd they havo given to our cause a reputation for criminal methods and nbuses. Tho national party would show great political discernment and good w?nse wcio they la cettse hovtllltles and co-oper Drs.

Selected Surgical and Confine ment Cases will also be received ate with tho established authorities In tho prosecution of those bandits and robbers who have during tile lost few months suc ceeded lu dragging tho fair fntno of tho Filipino revolution to a low level. In view of the foregoing we believe the following resolutions should be adopted: First Itceognizo tho Mupremaey of tho United StntoH by n cessation of hostilities; obey the AmerUan authorities nnd loyally co-oporuto with them In the work of pacifi cation.

Eighth-Thc friars shall bo excluded from the administration of tho Philippine Catbo IIq church. Tan'- fur the lt'i'iiloltrnntn. For such a peaco propaganda to be nc ceptablo to tho Filipino people, and moro especially to tho moro stubborn element thereof, It must flatter them and appeal to their national vanity. They must bo cajoled Into believing that they aro Insist ing upon terms nnd stipulations from tho United States government, that conccsslona uro given to them, that they nro still an important factor In tho situation and that their consent is needed to nny settlement. If such a peace program as tho abovo appenls to their vanity It hns a much better chanco of being ncccpted by them than wero It a simple bueineES proposition devoid of all sentiment. Hence Duencamlno makes n show of asking much from tho American government lu exchango for sovereignty, whilo, as n matter of fuct, ho does not nok for n single thing of any lmportnnco that the military administration has uot nlready accorded tho Filipino people Hut, tho mass of tho pcoplo do not know this, be cause what tho American government has done for them hns never been concretely written out and plnccd bofoto their eyes. Huencamlno practically recites what tho United States has already dono for tho Fil ipinos und then says: "Wo will nsk for nil this In exchnngo for peace," nnd the Fil ipino thinks those nre pretty good things to have nnd that they constitute desirable nnd dignified terms of capitulation. So It la that tho Huencamlno document is written for tho Filipino pcoplo and In thnt way which argues for Its quickest acceptance by them. There are, however, ono or two mislead ing ctatcments In Huencamlno's communica tion, notably that which Bays the condition of tho Filipino laborer has bettered with tho Increnso of his carulngu. It Is true the laborer nnd other workman In Manila earns moro today than formerly, hut tho Increase In wage Is In no way commensurnto with tho cost of living, so In reality ho Is worse off than ho was formerly. Itiieni'miiliio'n I'rlvnte VIi-mm. Speaking to a representative of tho As sociated Press, Huencamlno said: Thero aro threo elementR oooruUng against peace, in tho Philippines today. One Is tho friars, who In tho ultimate adjust ment of the present trouble between tho Filipinos nnd Americans foreHeo tho linn! Iohs of their position and prestige In the country as well ns of their properties nnd wealth. I believe they Fook to prolong tho ntrugglo In tho hopo that something may arlso to necufo their standing In the coun try and I believe they wro partly account able for the recent rumors of n natlvo up rlslr In Manila. Tho second renBon Is the presence In Ma nila of certain hot-headed Filipinos who persist In stirring up tho people to con tinued discontent with tho Amerlrnn occu pation. These men may bo culled profes sional ncltntors nnd politicians nnd 1 think they should bo nought out nnd suppressed. The third Is the stiff-necked attitude of tho past military government in refusing to treat with tho Filipinos except on tho ground of total and unconditional surren der. They seem to have thought tho only posslblo way to terminate our misunder standings was by forco of arms. This I consider a natural result of military train ing. Men schooled In the use of iirmn naturally believe the only way to fcettlo a quarrel Is to fight It out to a finish. If this now commission comes hero with broader and more liberal views, If It will nppronch the Flnlpino people, or allow Itself to bo npprouched bv us, with some llttlo tact nnd somo llttlo diplomacy, if they will glvo tho men In the field tho chnnro to surrender as men nnd ns soldiers, to surrender nnd mill be able to look their countrymen In the eve, to still retain somo honor, and tt would tuko such Insignificant concessions on your part to mako this possible, 1 assure you that nenco will 'bo u question uf tt few weeks only. Agulnaldo Is still tho lender and tho Idol of the Flllylnp people If your civil commission will give an ofilclal and Ugal und binding assurance to hlm that thu in dividual nnd personal rights of tho Filipino peoplo will be assured and protected, leav ing tho determination of their political status entirely to your eongretH, peace will nt onee bo effected Wo recotnlzo your sovereignty throughout these Islands: you havo forced us to do that, What we now crave Is your fairness and your Justice. The Filipino question no longer calls for violence und hjoodshed, It in now u ques tion of Justice, of a people's Inherent rights Established In 1891.

Modern methods of milling separato tho parts of tho wheat berry that contain tho dlastattc element, nnd futnlsh only the whlto flour made up almost entirely of starch. One of tho principal olemcnts needed to digest this starch has been left out In tho process, nnd therefore tho person who eats much white biead la nlmoU biko to havo Intestinal troubles, for tho stare does not digest properly and must, of necessity, decay, und cauen all sorts of trouble. Grape-Nuts food, on thu contrary, Is made up of tho entire wheat und barley, and tho processes of digestion as slnui in tho human body, aro copied us exactly as pos sible, In a mechanical way, by tho use of moisture, tlmo and warmth.
