Jerry Simpson was born in New
Brunswick on March 81, 1912. At: IA
he began life as sailor and during his
twenty three years following that pur-
suit commanded many large vessels on
the Great Lakes. In the civil war he
served in the Twelfth Illinois infantry.
He came to Kansas in 1878. Orig
inally he was republican, but later
became greenbacker and populist. He
was a member of congress from 1891 to
1895 and from 1897 to 1899, being NOM
mated the last time by both the demo-
Gratis and populists. After he left con
gress he moved to Roswell, N. M,
whore he engaged in stock farming.
He returned to Kansas a month ago

during his service of six years in the
fifty second, fifty-third and ffty-ffth

a question Of congressional action dur
ing that time on which Jerry Simpson
did not think and on which his conclu-
sions were not strikingly and entirely
different from those Of anyone else.
His language and manner Of speech
were quaint in the highest degree.
Jerry Simpson always tried to make his
adversaries look ridiculous, always
threw new light on every subject, made
a personal friend Of every member of
the house and, his political opponents
declared, never charged vote on any
question of legislation. AS an enter

Toxic, Oct. 23.-The naval review
today passed off without the slightest
hitch. 1t was most impressive sight,
not, however, on account OF the class

Yaeyama and escorted by the gunboats
Tatiuta, SChilhayaya and Manshu, passed
along the front Of the first line, which

line, was reached, the cruiser Asama
headed due north and then in west
erly direction, entering between the
second and third lines, and afterwards
resumed her original position.
During this maneuver Admiral Togo
was at the emperor 8 side. The emperor
then received in audience on board the
Asama, Admiral Noel and the captains
Of the British and American warships

the cruiser Cincinnati). The weather
was fair, but it was misty on the water
