home in this city today of heart fall
ure and complication OF a prostratic
enlargement and kidney disease. The
senator had been unconscious since
last Saturday.
News Of the serious illness Of the
aged senator was kept from the pub
lie as much as possible, and his death
came as surprise to his thouands
Iof friends residing In this city. Only
the more intimate friends of the fam
lily were aware Of his critical condi-
ton.
No arrangements for the funeral
have yet been made.
Senator Allison was born at Perry,
o., March 2, 1929. His boyhood days
he spent on the farm, which was his
birthplace. He secured his educa-
ton In Allegheny college In Penn
sylyania and the Western Reserve
college OF Ohio, In both OF which
schools he won high honors.

buque. Ia, where he continued the
practice Of law.

yention in 1888 and again in 1896.
Shortly after his first election to

the great measures for the conduct
Of the civil war. the establishment
of the national credit and the develop
ment of the national resources. Hii
aid in the nomination OF Abraham
Lincoln for president in 1860 was per
haps Senator Allison's first great ser
