rSY DEATH OF THE OLD ROMAN. Allen G. Thurman Passes Away. Uov ernor McKinley's Proclamation. Ex-Senator Alin G. Thurman died at his home in Columbus, Ohio. on Thursday. He had been in fairly good health for one of his age since his reo': 'ry from injuries reived in falling four mouths ago. and Wednesday morning he was sitting up, reading when he ,suddenly became ill and a physician was called. He soon became unconscious and never recovered his senses. Death was the re::ait of gradual wearing out of his bodey. sai his rhyician. and the end was a colias: which subsequently re eulted in death. Senator Thurman hail been dangerm:sly ill only since Wenis,lay morning. Since iis fall about a month ago he had been ap parenly in his usual health, but to the ex perienued eye of his physician it was plain that his powers were rapi'iy failing. Until Wednesday morning he was able to sit up the greater part of the time. and at times showed keen interest in public affairs. On his 82nd birthday. November 13th. he was -able to dictate a letter to the Thurman Club. of Columbus. in reply to resolutions of sympathy with him in his suffering resulting frolt the fall. Welnesday morning he was sitting up in his library reading when he le gan to cormplain of ieling ill and shortly grew so much worse that Dr. Whittaker. his physician. was called. He saw that it was the beginning of the end, and so informed the f:inily. 1 the afternoon Judge Thurman lost con seiousn-s nd never ully recovered it again. 'hen Dr. Whittak"r called in the afternoon he found the pat:'int arareittly sinking and gave it as his o:inixn that h' ould not sur viv:e mer" than : f:w hours. Wednesday night. however. he was better, but with the mlora;ll- hours lie e'gan to sink and when Dr. Whittaker ealiel at 10 Thursday morning he stated to 3r. Ailea W. Thurman that death was a questien of but t few hours. Death ea:'e peacefuiy and painlessly. It seened that he passed iroln sleep into death. At ti:e bisil V:eri' 1rs. Governor McCor ma'1k.

Bradstreet Says There is a Smaller Christmas Trade. I:radstreet says: With the ex":eption of mild weather at cities in Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, colder weather has stimulated sales ..f seasonable merchandise at nearly all points,. but only by'contrast with preceding weeks. Wholesale trade is dull, merchants preferrius to reduce stocks at the end of the year to make ready for annuai 'n ventories. In retail lines there has been a marked increase in demand. Irregularity is shown in mercantile collections. reneral trade throughout the country being relatively most .tisf;tory in the central Mississippi valley. The course of prices of staples continues .l wmward. Lumber remains steady and with-ott particular activity. Iron and steel continue with what appears to be the regt iar weekly decreas"". The only aivance in "1 tati.n re"orded among the uore imi>rtant stap,l"s are for petroleum, coffee and "-otton. In industrial liu"s w. -en ianufacturers report fair orders for dry goods, lbut at low prices.

Among more conspicuous trade features are the disappointing Christmas trade at several cities. smaller volume of business. except in Christmas goods, at ('hicago, in -rease in distribution of heavier textil-s. shoes and rubber goods at St. Loui:, and eon tinued depression in "ertain lines at Kansas City. Oniuha and Minneapolis because of mild weather. A ong Southern cities, the single instance of improvement is reported from B'irmingham. although most distribut ing centres expect an increased demand after .anuary 1st. Cotton receipts are unusually small at almost all Southern points. ex--pt at New Orleans. where they are liberal. Gal veston reports the Christmas trade smaller than one year age.

She raid she wanted everybody to know what a great medicine these pills. are, but as so many peoplet are praising them now-a-dJays. she modestly doubted whether hier testimion:: coul add anything to what others had al ready said of them.

Speaking of her own initereni ing experience. Mrs. Gehrke said: A little over a year ago I was completely broken down. I hadl been taking medicine from a doctor t.ut grew worse and worse un til I could s'ar'ely go about at all. The lea.t exertion or the mere bending of my body woul'd eause me to have smothering spels. and the s.uffering was terrbl'. 1 thought it was ca:eod by my heart.

Some say that the hypo.' phosphites alone are sufficient to pievent and cure consump tion, if taken in time. With out doubt they exert great'. good in the beginning stages; they improve the appetite, prow mote digestion and tone up the nervous system. But they lack the peculiar medicinal properties, and the fat, found in cod-liver oil. The hypo-. phosphites are valuable and the cod-liver oil is valuable. of Cod-liver Oil, with hypo phosphites, contains both of these in. the rost desirable form. The oil is thoroughly emulsified ; that is, partly di Fpsted.. Sensitive stomachs can bear an emulsion when the raw oil cannot be retained. - As the hypophosphites, the medicinal agents in the oil, and the fat itself are each good, why not have the benefit of all?
