ABUT BILL PROGRESS
Belief That It Will Be Porced Through
This Week
CONTENTION MAY DELAY PASSAGE
Several of Its Provisions Expected to Ex
cite Acrimonious Debte The Ship
Subsidy llill Then Next to 15 e Given a
Boost
WASHINGTON Jan 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 affair3 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 Fiipinos in the
rmy of the -United States is among
the features which are almot 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
pnd after 1t other appropriaton bills
if any are in shape to be consdered
The ship subsidy bill will be re
stored to the ca endar 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 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 hi1 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
th modicption
The opposition is very aggressive
but on the surface seems to lck the
strength necpsary to cnrry the Bur
leigh bill There are forces at work
however by which the opposition
hone5 through the agencies of Sen
ator Quay Senator Piatt of New York
and Senator Lodge of Missachucetts
to swing the delegation of New York
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts ino
line and if supsful the Hopkins bill
ma suffer defeat
Mr Crumpacker of Indiana wil1
move to recommit the bill with in
structions to reduce the representation
of the southern states but there is
no idea that such a proposition will
rrf nil
After disposal of the reappor
tionment Mil the rivpr and hrbor
bill will be taken up It is exacted to
oonsue two days The remainder of
the week will be devoted to aprronri
tinn bills The District of Columbia
bill probably will be the next of the
supply bills to be considered

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
ready for death When it comes
Soon after luncheon and just be
fore the physician forbade his talking
more Mr Armour in feeble tones said
that he would like to hear the Lords
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
Armours bedside when the end came
and who had been almost constantly
in attendance upon the sick man

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 3000000 to 5000000 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 fathers death said J
Ogden Armour AH 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 Armours death
spread rapidly through the city and

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

cial I used to have Heart Disease
but thanks to Dodds Kidney Pills I
now have Hearts 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 Dodds Kidney Pills I bought a box
that same day and it was the best
days 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 xay 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

Deafnejs Cannot He 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

inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube 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
