SIMPSON IS NO MORE
FAMOUS KANSAN DIES AFTER
WEEKS OF SUFFERING
For Many Years a Leader in Reform
Parties, He Was Noted For His Na
tive Ability, Quick Wit and Popu
larity Wichita, Kas., Oct. 23.Jerry Simp
son, ex-congressman from Kansas,
died in St. Francis hospital here at
6:05 o'clock, just as the day was
dawning. The end came without a
struggle. His wife and son were at
the bedside.
Hard Struggle With Death
Mr. Simpson's condition became
hopeless ten days ago. He came here
three weeks ago for treatment, his
physician having told him his ailment
was an aneurism of the aorta and that
his chances for recovery were few.
During his stay in the hospital he
made a brave fight for life. Several
times It was reported that he was
dying, but each time he rallied. He
rallied Saturday afternoon, when it
was said that he could live only a
few hours. Two severe hemorrhages
yesterday seemed to take all his re
maining strength and toward night
he sank into a stupor. He gradually
grew weaker until his death. His
funeral will be in charge of the Scot
tish Rite consistory. He will be buried
here in Wichita.
Wear of the 1900 Campaign
It is believed by Dr. . Minick, his
attending physician, and by Mrs.
Simpson,; that Mr Simpson's trouble
originated in the campaign of 1900,
which was particularly wearing upon
him.
Except on the occasion of the daily
visits of the Rev. Father Downing,

Named For Congress in 1890
Jerry Simpson his name was not
Jeremiah, but Jerry was born in
New Brunswick, in the province of
New Brunswick, March 31, 1842. In
1852 his father moved to Michigan!
Jerry lived in Michigan until 1867,
when he went to Porter county, Indi
ana, and thence in 1879 to Kansas;
For twenty-three years he was a sailor j
on the Great Lakes. His object in j
leaving the lakes for Kansas was to
engage in farming, and . he settled
first in Jackson county, but six years
later he determined to try his for
tunes at stock raising, and for that
purpose acquired a ranch near Medi
cine Lodge. Stock raising proved un
profitable, however, and he fell back
into plain farming. He was a citizen
of the United States by virtue of his
i father's naturalization.
Republican at First
Simpson's father was a John Brown
abolitionist, and Simpson, when of
age, acted with the republican party,
casting his first presidential vote in
iibi ror Auranani .Lincoln, in imz
he voted for Greeley and in 1876 for
Peter Cooper. Since then he acted in
turn with the greenback, the labor un
ion and the people's parties; although
he regarded these three as essen
tially the same ' ;
Simpson was nominated for the
legislature by the greenbackers in
1886. His opponent was Thomas A.
McNeal, now state printer of Kan
sas, and McNeal won easily. Two
years later the union party nominated
Simpson for the same place and he
was defeated again. In 1SS9 McNeal,
who was then. mayor, appointed him
city marshal of Medicine Lodge. Simp
son held the office only -two months,
but In that time he kept the town free
of "joints."
Becomes a Populist
Simpson' attended the first populist
congressional convention in the
Seventh district, which was in 1890.
After the platform was adopted can
didates were invited to speak. Simp
son, who ; was one of them, created
consternation by attacking a clause
in the platform demanding pensions
for all union soldiers, their wives and
children. He opposed the pensioning
of soldiers' children, ana returned to
the floor confident that he was no
longer a possibility. In due time a
ballot was taken, but without a choice.
Then another with the same result.
Finally in the body of the house a
delegate arose and moved an altera
tion of the platform In the particular
to which Simpson nad objected.
There was a brief verbal skirmish and
a vote in the affirmative, followed by
the third ballot, which resulted in
Simpson's nomination.
. An Active Campaigner
At the election Simpson carried
the district over James H. Hallowed
by a majority of 7,414 in a total vote
of 57,792. It was an immense field
to cover, but Simpson canvassed
every county. Beginning in mldsum
met he traversed the district, by
lailrcad when ho could and by wagon
when railroad: would not serve.

Light on Female Diseases.
What used to be Called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs' are the cause of most
cases of female diseases.
Dr. llartman was among the first of
America's greatest physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
wen treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that a woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal aftection of these organs would
not be subject to female diseases. .He,
therefore, began using Peruna for these
eases and found it so admirably adapted
to their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female diseases.
Pernna build op the nerves and re
stores the appetite and digestion.
Dr. Uartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
oilier living physician He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
clown. He Quickly broke them of
that habit. House men soon learned
that they must be "careful where they
took hold of Jerry, and how they
picked him up. They couldn't stroll
up to his cage and grope aruuud and
pull Jerry out by the foreleg, or the
ear, or the side of the face. Two or
three who essayed something of this
sort, were sadly crushed.

CURED OF
PELVIC CATARRH
She Suffered for Years and
Doctors railed to Give Relief
Cured by Pe-ni-na.
MRS, MINNIE E. MoALLISTEtt,
wife of Judge McAllister of Min
neapolis, Minn., and Chaplain Loyal
Mystic Legion of America, writes :;
"f suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
It interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and I never supposed
that I would be cared, as the doctor'
medicine did not seem to help me any.
- "Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that I decided to try It,
Although I started In with little faith,

felt encouraged.

and am happy Indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fail to
express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing I could wish
for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that
now ."Minnie E. McAllister,
Mrs. Esther M. Milnor, DeOraff, Ohio,
writes:
" I was a terrible sufferer from female
weakness and had the headache contin
uously. I was not able to do my house
work for myself and husband. I wrote
you and described my condition as near
as possible. Yoa recommended Peruna
I took four bottles and was completely
cured. I think Peruna a wonderful
medicine."Mrs. Esther M. Milner. -
Congressman Thad. M. Mahon, of
Chambersburg, Pa., writes : , ,

your Peruna as a substantial tonic and
a good catarrh remedy." '7. M.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics,
One reason why Peruna lias found
permanen t use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotics of any kind.
