JERRY SIMPSON VERY LOW.
The Kansas Congressman's Lease of Life
SmaII-Weakeped by ChIlIs.


WASHINGTON, April 24-It is not
likely that Congressman Jerry Simp-
son, of Kansas. will live longer than
ten days or two weeks, il, indeed, he
lives that long. Death has a strong
hold on him to-day and it will be the
happening almost of the impossible if
his grasp is loosened.
Since Saturday night the sick man
has steadily lost ground. That night
there came a chill. Yesterday there
were two and all weakened him great
ly. He has lost all strength and is
utterly unable to rally when the chills
leave him exhausted. He does not rest
well and can eat nothing. A little
milk is administered at intervals, that
being the only nourishment he re-
ceives. His kidney cdisorders do not
abate and the inflammatory rheuma-
tism is held in check with difficulty
His blood is in bad condition and the
poison taint spreads and grows more
dangerous.
That Mr.. Simpson should have the
remotest chance for recovery, it is
necessary that a turn for the better
should occur at once. 1t must partake
Of the miraculous, for the patient has
no strength wherewith to support or
maintain it

When Colonel Tamblyn was commander

day will he buried this afternoon at :
o'clock, and would like to have as many

The orderly accidentally found the com

his cap delivered his message as follows,
The colonel sends his compliments and di-

killed by the Indians that they will be bur
led at 2 O'Clock today, and he would like to
have as many is can make it convenient at
