ARMY BILL PROGRESS Belief That It Will Be Forced Through This Week. CONTENTION MAY DELAY PASSAGE Several of It* Provision* Expected to Ex cite Acrlmoolooe Debate—The Ship Subsidy Bill Then Next to Be Given a Boost. WASHINGTON, Jen. 7.—The sen ate will continue to give practically uninterrupted attention to the army reorganization bill until that measure shall be disposed of. That the bill will pass no one doubts, and the gen eral opinion is that it will get through some time during the present year. Senator Hawley, chairman of the committee -on 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 supposea ai oue uiue mat iu« 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 army 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, and after it other appropriation bills, if any are in shape to be consdered. The ship subsidy hill 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 sideration. Next Saturday will be largely de voted to eulogies upon the late Sen ator Davis of Minnesota. The consideration of the reappor tionment bill will be resumed tomor row in the hbuse. 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 klns 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, Co’orado and North Dakota. If his bill passes It probably will be with th's modifientjon. The opposition is very aggressive, but on the surface seems to lack the strength necessary to carry the Bur leigh bill. There are forces at work, however, by which the opposition hones. through the agencies of Sen ator Quay, Senator Platt of New York and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts to swing the delegat'on of New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts into l}ne, and if successful the Hopkins bill mav suffer defeat. Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana will l move to recommit ttje bill with in structions to reduce the representation of the southern states, but there is no idea that such a proposition will I re■••nil. After disposal of the reappor tlonn'f'nt bill the river and harbor bill will be taken up. It is expected to consume two days. The remainder of the week will be devoted to appropria tion bills. The Di-trict of Columbia bill probably will be the next of the supply bills to be considered. BRYAN IS FN ROUTE HOME. Speaks of Ills New Paper and Believes In lie Success.

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 that there are cases of smallpox in over 100 counties of Missouri and that the most vigorous quarantine measures have failed to stop the spread of the disease.

The smallpox here is not of a virulent form. PHIL ARMOUR IS Df AD. Millionaire Pork Packer of Chicago, Omaha and Kama* City, Fauci Away. CHICAGO. 111., Jan. 7.—Philip Dan forth Armour—philanturopist, flna cier 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. Og den Armour, and Rev. Frank Gun | saulus The millionaire retained con sciousness until within an 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 I ready for death when it comes.’’ Soon after 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 Billins, 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 of 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’B death spread rapidly through the city and tonight there were many callers ae the Prairie avenue mansion. Mrs. Armour retired to her apart ments and during the evening saw only the members of her immediate family. J. Ogden 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.

The only wom#m with the rank of lieutenant In the army has resigned. Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, daughter of Simon Nwcomb McGee, the astron omer, was appointed acting assistant surgeon in the United army in August, 1S9«, to aid in the selection and equip ment of a corps of army nurses for 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 Awny th* 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 has 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. Th« Honorable 11mm B. Crane of Ta coma, Wash., Telia How Old Soldier* May Help Tbemeelree. Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 5, 1901.— (Spe cial.)—“I used to have Heart Diseaso, but thanks to Dodd’s Kidney Fills 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, uy 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. O. O. F. of this city. The Hem. Mr. Crane is also Senior Vice-Commander of G. A. R. Post No. 5. Tacoma. 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, Kidney or Bladder Weakness, or Rheumatism, that Dodd’s Kidney Pills do not permanently cure. .

Deafness Cannot Be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. 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 Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect henr lng, and when It is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Us normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out df ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

In a newspaper hunt for the oldest voter in Iowa, Wiliam Zimmer, of Clinton, has been found, who says his first vote was cast for James Monroe in 1820. He wiis then living in New York stdte, and had just passed his 21 st year, which would make him now above 100 years of age. The rest of the country is challenged to pro duce a voter who can beat this record. This picture tells its own story of sisterly affection. The I older girl, just budding into womanhood, has suffered great- I ly with those irregularities and menstrual difficulties which sap the life of so many young women. Lydia E.

It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and all troubles of the uterus or womb- It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in the early stago of develop ment and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. It subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the entire female system.
