For moro thnn a week It has been known
that tho death of Senator Davis wbb cer
tain to occur within a short tlmo. Al
though tho bulletins' Issued by Dr. Stono
from day to day mado no posltlvo state
irent to thin effect, they nevertheless gave
tho Impression that the ense was n hopeless
one. However, tho announcement cnmo as
a profound shock to tho friends nnd fellow
townsmen of tho distinguished statesman,
who had been hoping ngalnst hopo. Tho
senator's devoted wife, who has been In
constant attendanco upon his sick bed,
bad never lost hope, Tho senator in his
moments of lucidity expressed a strong
dotormlnatton to recover nnd within n
week told United States District Attorney
Evann, who had been admitted to soo him,
that ho was posltlvo ho would soon bo well.
Indeed, It Is tho goneral bollot that tho
senator's Iron will Is nil that has kept him
alive for tho stint week.
Tho serious kidney affection which devel
oped on November 11 had refused to yield
to treatment and his weakened frame was
unablo to withstand tho poisons left In his
Byntom by theso organs falling- to perform
their functions. On Sunday, November 8,
a serious chango for tho worso wob noted.
Trcvlbus to that tho senator had been re
ported an having occasional periods of
delirium. That day theso delirious spells
became moro marked and slnco that tlmo
tho lucjd Intervals have becomo less nnd
less frequent until tho senator was almost
constantly out of. his mind. In his de
lirium ho raved of his congressional work.
Ho would doclaro In vigorous phrases frag
ments of, th,o riltttonal foreign policy. Thcro
was of courso no coherence. A sentence
about tho Philippines would bo followed by
a comment upon tho Monroo doctrine or a
suggestion of an Impending war with Spain
Hut always, In his diseased mind, his
patriotic and ofllclal duties wero with him.
Devoted AVIfcn Iuk nnd TryliiK VIrII.
There havo bcon many callers to the
Davis homo, but no ono has been admitted
to tho sickroom. Two trained nurses wero
In attendance, rollovlng each other after
fihort watches. Hy 'tho Bcnntor sat his
w'lfo, who, doapttcT'tho'Moctor.'H ordor that

Her vigil has been a long nnd trying ono,
but sho has borno tho ordeal bravely, and
If wifely dovotlon could havo saved tho
dying mnnyho would havo been saved. Even
In his delirium the senator wns quick to
notlco her absence from his sldo and would
toss about fevorlshly until ngaln quieted
by hur preoenco. When ratlonnl ho nssurcd
her that ho would owo his recovery which
ho never seomcd to doubt to her un
wavering cheerfulness and encouragement.
Second only to Mrs. Davis In devoted at
tondnnco has bcon tho senator's nged father.
Although past 85 years old tho elder Mr,
DuvIh hns borno tho terrrlblo strain with
great fortitude and has watched over the

horsolf boon very foeblo of lato and Bho

Norford nnd Mrs. Ilartlctt Tripp, tho sena
tor's sisters, havo been staying at the
houno slnco the serious naturo of his
dtseaso has been known nnd havo relieved
Mrs. Davis of tho household cares and
havo received all callers.
Every day thcro has heen received hun
dreds of mossagos of Inquiry and sympathy.
These camo from many distinguished mem

welfare of Minnesota's distinguished son

After his return from tho Mnlno cam

draped chapel behind tho choir, chanting
tho plaintive opening verses of tho burial

prcsslvo and tho anthems wero especially
mournful. Tho audlenco displayed deep
emotion as tho strains of the anthem, "Yea,
Though I Walk," from Sullivan's "Light of
tho World," resounded through tho sacred
edifice.
Tho preliminary servlco ended, the pro
cession reformed nnd ptocccdcd to St. Paul's

On the broad steps of tho cathedral tho

After tho mourners, who had como from
tho chapel royal, woro seated tho dean
commonced tho service. Sir John Stalner
led tho choir In singing another selection
from "Tho Light of tho World." Arch
Deacon Sinclair read the latter part of the
servlco and then the coffin was lowered'
Into tho crypt, tho silence being only
broken by the sobbing of a fow women,
Tho benediction was given by tho dean and
then thoro occurred what has never beforo
been heard In St Paul's. Fifty women, all
dressed In tho deepest black, nnd the samo
numbor of men, gathered near the coffin,
aroso from their knees. They woro tho
chorus of the Savoy theater. In quaver
ing, trombllng tones they commonced to
sing Sullivan's "Brothor Thou Art Gono
Boforo Us." A great hush fell on tho
crowds that had started to leavo tho build
ing. Gathering courago, tho women's voices
swelled out until overy corner of tho vast
cathedral reechoed this sad requlom from
those who had so often Bung tho lighter
lyrics of tho composer they then mourned.
As this died away tho organ took up tho
iiiajosuc strains or tho doad march from

PROMINENT MEN
DIE OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE,
Within the last few months the newspapers havo contained fre
quent mention of the death of some prominent mnn, a victim of
the malltmnnt Brlght's Disense. Two men of wide repute Mr.
Henry Vlllard, the railroad magnate, and Murcus Daly, the Cop
per King havlug died of this disease within a few days, and we
now learn of the serious Illness nnd expected death of a well
known United States Senator, stricken with the samo dlsense.
This only serves to show what terrible progress kidney disease Is
making, ns It Is reasonable to asume that where we hear pf one
death from Brlght's Disease thero are thousands we do not hear
of. The most remarkable feature about this disease Is that phy
slclans seem totally unable to cope with It; strive as they will,
the disease keeps gaining and the patient dies In spite of them.
Through nil this fruitless experimenting on the part of physi
cians the marvelous eftlcncy of Prickly Ash Bitters in the relief
nud cure of Brlghts Disease, Diabetes and Uriunry troubles Is
becoming more generally recognised, and as a result its use has
increased very rapidly.. It has been so uniformly successful In
curing these diseases that many physicians have oonceded Its
great merit while condemning proprietary medicines as a class.
Results will prove the truth, and it is upon results achieved that
Prickly Ash Bitters bases its claim to be a successful aud speedy
cure fur diseases of the kidneys. The secret of Ita success lies
in the fact that in addition to Its great healing influence in the
kidneys and bladder it cleanses the system of impurities,
strengthens the stomach and digestion, nnd regulates the bow
els. All these organs are concerned when the kidneys fail to do
their work, hence It is necessary to tho successful treatment of
the disease that they be strengthened and purified. There is no
case of Brlght's Disease, where life stilt holds out that Prickly
Ash Bitters will not help, and in mlldor cases it affords such
prompt and effectual relief that strength and vigorous health are
soon restored. Persons who have renson to suspect that their kid
neys aro not qulto right should take warning the disease spreads
rapidly and becomes dangerous boforo tho victim Is aware that
he Is seriously affected. The wise courso Is to bo sure that tho
kidneys are well and strong. Prlcly Ash Bitters offers the best
means for putting thase organs In condition. If they nre affect
ed It cure them; If they are healthy It does not harm them, but
stimulates and purifies the entire system. Boy at Drug Stores.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Frantic pfforls nre
being mndo by Bhorts caught In tho Phil
lip's corn corner to swnmp him with grain
on the last day of the option, Tho way In
which they hopo to down him and got
themselves out of a tight place Is by re
Inspection of this week's receipts, which
hnvn boon graded No. 3, ono grndo too low
to pass on contract.
"There' will be big deliveries on Friday."
snld Charles Slndo, manager for Counsel
man & Co., "and lots of corn which will he
rolnsppcted will pass ns No. 2. At a time
llko this when thero Is n corner on tho
Inspectors ore scared and to bp on the snfo
sldo they grade corn No. 3 when there Is
nny question nbout It nt nil, knowing that
If they aro wrong tho supervising In
spectors will go over tt nnd give tho right
grade."
'Tho won't get n enr of It graded up,"
said PhllllpR, when ho was told of tho new
tnctlcs of tho shorts. "When thero Is n
corner on there Is always n big demand for
rolnspectlon, but It never amounts to nny
thtng." "On account of tho corn corner wo nro
getting double tho applications for reln
snectlon, which wo rccelvo normally." said
Edward J. Noble, supervising Inspector.
"Four times out of flvo, certntnly threo
times out of four, tho supervising In
spectors uphold tho previous Inspection. "
Another schomo which has heen evolved
for tho purposo of swnmplng Phillips Is tho
purchaRo nnd shipment to Chlcngo of corn
which was sold by tho Pattens In Buffalo
and Montreal when they went out of tho
deal In October.
Flfty-ono cents marked up on tho board
today was n new high prlco In tho Novem
ber deal. Phillips camo Into tho pit early
nnd lifted the prlco from ifl cents, whero
It opened. Between 50 nnd 51 cents ho tin
lnndcd 200,000 bushels, his total sales for
tho day being 240,000 bushels. As ho Is
selling corn bought at 30 cents his day's
transactions netted him n profit of moro
thnn $2.",000. Other days this week aro
Bald to havo boon equally profitablo to him.
Today's closo was 50 cents. Big foreigners,
who, It Is said, chiefly constltuto tho short
Interest, nro still hanging on stubbornly.
Predictions nre freely mndp that tho lost
day of tho deal will sco November corn
quoted at 75 cents.
"This deal differs from others," said
Phillips today, "in thnt I havo handled It
entirely myself. All tho buying nnd sell
ing has been dono In tho open pit nnd I
have hired no brokers to hoodwink tho
crowd. I havo known all along how big
tho short Interest was and who was short.
Thoy havo known also how much corn I
had."
Tho contract corn In Chicago Ib about
1,500,000 bushels. Tho Inspection sheet to
day was again n disappointment to tho
bears, showing only 87,000 bushels trans
ferred from prlvnto to public elevators.
Only fifty-seven out of ninety-two cars ar

W. M. Coatcs, the Board of Trade opera

Tko body has been tnken to tho undertak

Old-fashioned Training
Its Strong nnd Weak Points.
The strong point of the oltMashloned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. "Do tfood nnd you'll
be happy," was the common precept set
before the growing child. But ns the
Kirl grew up to maidenhood she wa
often sorelv puzzled to reconcile thoto
past teachings with her present condi
tion. She vn9 good, tier soul was
pure 89 the HlHes of her garden. Her
lieart was undefiled. And yet she was
desperatly unhappy by reason of physi
cal ailments common to women.
This w.i3 the weak side of old
fashioned training: It ignored the
needs nnd requirements of the body.
All its ellort was to guide the heart and
mind. The body might stumble along
anyhow, aud it generally did.
Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come in
through the door of physical suffering.
"Wny must I suffer in this way?" she
asks, " Why does my back ache, my head
throb and my side pain, so that I am
fain to creep away into a darkened
room and forego the pleasures which
belong to my season of life?"
NO ANSWBR COMHS
as a rule to these questions. The young
woman looks arcund and tees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told it is a part
of the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
Tliis is all a mistake. Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
times prevent these miserable condi
tions. Dut in any case, however dis
tressing the present condition, it can be
cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, if it is a disease curable
by medicine.
" I write a few linea to thank you for
your advice and grand remedies, to
which I owe my health, aud perhaps
my life," says ' Miss Plora I. Greer, of
107 Howe btreet, Akron, Ohio. "My
trouble started during my childhood,
but did not prove serious until 1893,
when I met with an accident caused by
a horse running away. Prom that time
I did not sec a well day. I suffered it
every monthly period with terrible
headache, irritation of the spiue and
pains in my heels co I could not bear
them resting on the softest pillow.
What I suffered pen coultl never de
scribe. I had soreness through my
hips and ovaries all the time and con
stant backache. Was afraid to be alone,
imagined that every one hated me, and
everything looked like a mountain.
One doctor ould tell me one thing
ailed me, another would say something
altogether different, but they only re
lieved we. I then wrote you in April,

tSoo, through the advice of a neighbor,
and followed vour advice from April to
July, I took five bottles of Doctor
Pierce'9 Pavorite Prescription, and four
of 'Golden Metlical Discovery' and five
vials of 'Pellets. Have not had a
single symptom of my old trouble so
far. Can sleep good nights, work hard,
aud can eat solid nud substantial food
without distress. There arc several of
my friends taking your medicines with
the best results since they have 6een
how they helped me.

The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription has brought health to thou
sands of hopeless women. If you are
sick it will almost surely bring health
to you. In all the hundreds of thou
sands who have used " Favorite Pre
scription" for womanly ills, only two
ill even. hundred hnvn
failed of a perfect and
permanent cure. And
even these two in every
hundred have been bene
fited, their pains eased,
their burdens lightened,
their lives made' liappler.
Dr. Pierce's Favorita
Prescription establishes
regularity, dries enfee

tion and ulceration and
cures female weakness.
From the first change of
life, when the girl be
comes a woman to tho
last chnnge of life it is a
"Godsend to women" ns
a preservative of health

There is no alohol in "Favorite Pre-4

opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence held as sacred and
womanly confidences guarded by the

It sometimes happens that the dealer
tempted by the little more profit paid
by less successful preparations, will try
to prcs3 a substitute upon the customer,
claiming that "it is just sb good as
Pierce's." It is well to remember at
such a time, that the claims of superi
ority made for Dr. Pierce's Favorito
Prescription do not rest on mere words,
but upon cures. Thousands of weak
women made strong nnd sick women
made well testify to its superiority over
other put-up medicines for women.
TDK B1BI.B OP TUB BODY,

to Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical

great work, containing 1008 large pages,
