WHALE HITS WATERsPoUT.
Strange Contest Seen BY a Steamer
Crew From Nome.

Strange Contest Seen BY Steamer
Crew From Nome.
Tacoma. Wash.-The steamer Elihu
Thomson, which has arrived from
Nome, reports that during the run
through Boring sea there occurred one
incident that was of great interest to
the crew. A storm was in progress
and a waterspout of generous dimen-
sions was observed making its way
across the stormy stretch of sea that
separated the vessel from shore. A
whale, which had been spouting in the
neighborhood, got into intimate re-
lations with the waterspout. The re-
volving pillar Oh water was a formid-
able proposition to tackle, but so was
the whale, and 1t was hard to decide
which would come off second best.
The whale stood on end in the mid
die Of the waterspout, but there he
stuck. The force of the whirline
column was not sufficient to lift hin
from the water. On the other hand
with the whale in it's clutches. the
waterspout could not maintain an ex
lstence, and, as a result, broke sudden
ly and the immense column Of waite
that had been suspended between SIX.
and sea fell with crash into the sci
from whence 1t came.

Wichita, Oct 24--Former Congress
man Jerry Simpson died Monday morn
ing from aneurism of the aorta.
Mr.. Simpson was conscious up to
five minutes before death The end
came without struggle. He had been
lowering between life and death for
10 days. At the bedside were Mrs.
Simpson and their only child, Lester
Simpson, Of Roswell, N. II.
The funeral will be held in this city
Wednesday at Scottish Rite temple
The blue lodge of Medicine Lodge,
Kan, will have charge of the services
at the grave. An autopsy showed that
the cause of death was aneurism of the
thoracic or ascending aorta. This
means that there was an enormous dis
tension of the blood vessel leading
from the heart.
Never Changed His Vote.
Washington.-"The Sage of Medi-
cine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson was
called, was in every respect one of
the most unique characters which
adorn the histories of congress. He
was swept into the Fifty-second con.
gress by a wave of Kansas populism
charged with the task of reforming the
whole government and living down the
only advance information his col
leagues had of his personality-that he
wore no socks. The latter task he sue
ceeded in accomplishing in fact, al
though he never quite lost the title
''Sockless Jerry"
His legislative accomplishments con
sisted in turning popular eastern senti
ment regarding populism from scorn
ling ridicule to respectful consideration
during his service of six years in the
Fifty-second, Fifty-thlrd and Fifty-fiftl
congresses, when he was swept out b!
another Kansas wave. There was no
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 entirel.
different from those of any one else.
His language and manner of speecl
were quaint in the highest degree, JeI
ry Simpson always tried to make hi
adversaries look ridiculous, Away
