It Was Not Known That the Senator Was
Seriously III
He Had However Been a Sufferer Without Hope for
Many Years--GOvernOr Cummins Announces His
Wish to Succ eed Him.

Dubuque, Aug. 4.-SenatOr William
Boyd Allison died at his Locust street
home at 1873 o'clock this afternoon.
With him at the dissolution were the
members Of his household and his ply
sician. In a bulletin announcing the
death, Drs. Hancock and Lewis gave
heart failure as the cause.
The announcement of the senator's
death came as a shock to his neigh
bors as few were aware of his illness.
Though for the last two years Senator
Allison was in declining health, and
though he suffered the loss of much
vitality during the present summer, no
news had emanated from his home in
dicating the seriousness of his condi-
ton.
Senator Allison suffered from the
worst form Of Drastatic enlargement
and kidney affliction and made relief
even more difficult to afford. As
usual in such cases, the senator suf-
fered frequently from periods of fait-
ness and weakness. These spells fire.
quently occurred of late. The last had
its beginning on Friday and finally
resulted in the patients death.
Mr.. Allison had been a sufferer for
many years. For the last two years
he required relief twice daily and was
regularly visited by physicians He
had consulted the most eminent au-.
thorities regarding his affliction but
his advanced age prevented an opera
ton.
The senator lost flesh rapidly and
his close friends noted upon his return
from Washington this summer that his
mental faculties were not as keen as
usual. 1t was known that it was but
question of time when death should
claim him.
At an early hour this morrEng Mr.
Allison became worse. a physician
was Immediately called who prOnounc-
ed his condition critical. About noon
the veteran statesman lapsed into an
unconscious condition and 1:33 D. m
passed away.

THE WIND TURNED
And the Town of Michel Was
Lost.

Vancouver, Aug. 4-For three days
the people of Michel fought fer .heir
homes with death at their doors
This afternoon they were beaten at
their game. The city. the second in
size in the devastated district east
of KOotenay, started to burn in real
earnest at dusk this evening. Nothing
can save it from lying a heap of huins
even more complete than Fernie by
tomorrow morning
From a light easterly breeze the
wind turned to a gale from the west at
3 p. m, the city at that moment was
doomed. The blaze came sweeping
down the hill At the edge of the town
100000 feet of mine timbers owned by
the coal company caught fire first, and
four loaded railroad cars standing on
the sidetracks. were consumed. Two
Canadian Pacific engines were hitched
onto a train to carry the fire fighters
away to the west to safety. and by
the time the train left the fire was
spreading all over the yards. The
train got only half n mile when it en-
countered a wall of flames. There
was danger Of being hemmed in and
being burned with every soul aboard,
so the locomotives were reversed an
run back with all speed.
BY the time the train returned all
the houses in the flat district back
of the Great Northern depot We're
burning and the main town was like

flight northeasterly to Strassburg,
thence following the valley of the
Rhine northward to Mayence, a dis
tance althogether over $50 miles.
Everything was going smoothly
when the trouble with the propeller
occurred that somewhat impeded the
passage of the airship but when the
balloon had been brought down,
Count Zeppelin found defect so
slight that he telephoned his secre-
tary at his office at Friedrichafen:
I'VE start again some time tonight
and will complete the trip"
His expectations were realized for
in less than four hours everything was
made perfect At 2:30 p. m. the air
ship rose again from the rapidly flow
ing Rhine and scared momentarily
over the spot where the injury had
been repaired. Then it turned its
bows toward Mayence, where it arriv-
ed at II o'clock and passed over the
gas lighted city almost beyond the
view of the pOpulace which gathered
in the streets, expecting to see the
balloon.
Quickly the airship left the town, af-
ter executing a few maneuvers and
the craft turned homeward. If the
airship maintains the speed at which
it was travelling today it should reach
Friedrichshafen tomorrow morning.

Parts of the Country
Mr.. Bryan's Decision to
be Still, is Not Iron
bound.

Lincoln, Aug. 4.-In striking contrast
with yesterday. Bryan today spent a
busy day The torrid weathsr did rot
seem to affect those DESTROYS of TAX
ing the long trip to Fairview. They
came in great numbers. SOM on bust
ness bearing on the ca:npaiSl and
many purely out of a desire to pay
their respects.
Early il the day Bryan gave out a
statement i'm which ne referred t.
Taft's talks into ph Incgraphs and
seized upon the opportunity to express
the belief that hencefortn the use of
tie phonhsraph for tho dissemination
of rclitical speeches win be regarded
as a dlgnified method OF discussing
public questions.
Most of the afternoon was taken up
by a conference with j. H. .Ntw lu1.
member of the national committee
from Kansas, the conversation being
devoted largely to the issues of the
campaign and Bryan's speech III To-
peka the latter part of the month.
His decision to remain at home dur
ing October is not irOnbounG. He said
today that it was barely possible that
he would have to depart from his PFC
gram and make some speeches at
points where he may be advised they
are the most desirable. At anv rate
he has at present not fixed upon d
time when he will enter the state Of
New York. There are some who think
he should go to New York before the
state convention in the latter part OF
September, but his mind will not be
made up until he has held conferences
with others of the democratic leaders.
