DR.. SHOOP, w Racine, !.
HAS DISCOVERED THE
Cause of Chronic Disease

People have taken Blood Purifiers "
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DIR. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerves have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all Internal organs. When
these nerves are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
DIR. Shops Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not "Nervine," but a nerve food. 1t

Columbia on Wednesday, March Is,

to. have at least good start, and to
then turn the further management
over to more complete and represen-

It might be noted that the Union
has already a large membership prom
ised without any solicitation. There
were some of the committee who fav-

ROCHESTER, Jan. 11.-Peter Jebsen

Cleveland banking him for his inaugu-
ration silk hat, size II. Jebsen made

stockings for Mrs. Levi P. Morton. The
package will arrive on the steamship

who sends these presents, as the notii-
cation comes through his London
agent, who notified him that freight
bad been prepaid. The sender, how
ever, failed to pay the duty, and as a
result Mr.. Cleveland will have to pay
at the rate of 491 cents per pound and
60s per cent. advalorem. The wife of

stockings. Mr.. Robson has notified Mr..

Death of Senator John e. Kenna,

Senator John E. Kenna, Of West
Virginia, died in Washington ats
o'clock yesterday morning after long
illness. His death was not unexpected,
for ne had been failing steadily since
midnight. His ailment was heart
disease, of which his father had died
before him.
Senator Kenna leaves wife and six
children, four boys and two girls. The
Oldest of the children is about II, and
the youngest boy was just 5years old
yesterday. Tomorrow night the re-
mains, escorted by the Congress COM
mittees and attended by the members
of the family and few personal
friends, will be taken to Charlestown,
w. Vs., the home of the dead Senator.
John Edward Kenna was born in Kan
aWna County, Virginia, now West Vir-
gipia, April 10, 1S4S. He was left
fatherless at the age Of 8 years, and
moved with his mother to Missouri.
where be worked on farm in summer
and in winter was employed digging
coal. At the age of Is he enlisted in
the Second Missouri Confederate Cav
airy, and followed the fortune OF the
Confederacy to the end. He was
wounded in the shoulderiand arm in
an engagement between scouting par
ties, but kept up active service during
Gen. PRICES retreat from Missouri in
1864, carrying his bruises and band
ages in this march with fortitude. AT
the close of the war he returned to bis
native Kanawha and was employed in
salt furnace, saving from his earn
ings enough money to acquire an edu-
cation. Through the kindness OF
Bishop Whelsn, of West Virginia, he
was admittud to st. ,Vineent's College
at Wheeling, where he finished his
studies. In 1868 he studied law in
Charlestown, WA, and was admitted
to the bar in June, 1859. He rose rap
idly in this profession, and in 1872 was
elected Prosecuting Attorney ofKana-
wha County, and in his four years
service in this capacity he won distinc-
ton by his conduct of important cases
defended by the ablest lawyers IN the
State. He was elected to Congress as a
Democrat against strong opposition,
and entered the House at an extra ses-
sion ia October, 1877, being the young
est man in that body. Here he distin-
guished himself by his ability and won
the admiration of his associates by his
speeches on the financial and economic
issues. He served four years in the
lower branch of Congress, and in 1888
was elected to the Senate and reelected
in 1889, being the youngest member in
that body.
Senator Kenna's death is the fourth
among the members Of the Senate since
the Fifty-second Congress was called
together little more than a year ago.
First there was Senator Plumb, who
died in Washington, Dec. 20, 1891,
Then there was Senator Barbour, who
died in Washington on March 4, last

If among my readers there is any

And if there Is any who thinks he

the sanctioping and exalting Of his

sons of which, if it develops as we have
a right to expect, viii, I firmly believe,
