IRA D. SANKEY
SINGS NO MORE
GREAT MINSTREL EVANGELIST
OPENS HIS EYES IN THE BET
TER LAND.
and REJOINs MOODY
HIS SONGS SUNG ALL AROUND
THE GLOBE AND IN EVERY
TONGUE.

New York.-Ira d. Sankey, known
as an evangelist throughout the Chris
tlan world. died Thursday night at his
home in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Sankey was sixty-eight years old.
For the last five years he had been
blind and had suffered from a compli-
cation of diseases brought on by over
work But almost to the very last he
worked at hymn writing. His tours
throughout this country and Europe
with Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist.
brought him into wide prominence.
Sankey. it might be said, wrote. gospel
hymns of the world. In China, Egypt,
India. Japan, in almost every language
known TO men. Sankey's hymns are
sung. He received large income
from his publications, and leaves CON
siderable of an estate.
Among Mr.. Sankey's most familiar
compositions are THE Ninety and
Nine" and when the Mists have
Rolled Away"
His songs are said to have had cir
culation of more than 50,O00,0OO copies.
He was a rapid composer and wrote
book after book of gospel hymns. Dur
ing the last five or six years OF his life
he was interested in preparing and pub
fishing the story of the gospel hymns.
At the same time he saved his wonder
ful voice for posterity by singingsinto
monographs. The records were sent
all over the world. Sankey first met
Moody at a Young Mems Christian as.
sociation convention in indianapolis.
Moody was so charmed with the young
mans voice that he urged him to ac-
company him on his evangelistic tours.
Sunlley explained that he was married
and could not give up his position.
you must come" said Moody, Il
cannot get along without you"
Saukey consulted his wife aud they
cast their lot with Mr.. Moody. They
visited Great Britain from 1873 to 1875
and again In 1883 and made tours
throughout the United States. When
Mr.. Moody died Mr.. Sankey felt keen
ly the loss Of u friend. From that time
he tried 10 conduct the work alone
which they had hitherto shared be
tween them. but the task was too great
In 1902. his physical condition com
PEELED him to give up most Of his evan
gcllcal engagements. After his retire.
mont from public life the impression
became general throughout the country
that he was dead.
Mr.. Sankey lived In Brooklyn for
twenty'seyen years and 1t was there
that most Of his songs were written.
He was a singer from boyhood. and his
voice attracted attention In the Hamlet
Of Edenburgh, Pa, where he was born
Aug. 2S, 1870. At the beginning Of his
active life he was a Methodist, but for
the last seven years he had been n
Presbyterian, He is survived by
widow, Fannie V. Sankey, his two sons.

Denver-A Republican special from

has completed its surveys from Hudson
to a point a few miles east of Greeley
and began surveys today across the
farms of Thomas Foley and l.. B,
Werkhelser. ten miles southeast OF
here in the Delta district. When this
work is completed the survey will be
finished from Hudson to Greeley. The
opinion prevails here that the Burling'
ton company will be the first to enter
the Greeley district
j. Fletcher. who has charge of the
office Of the Burlington company here,
today said it is the aim of the company
to complete its line from Hudson to
Greeley in time to handle the crops
this fall The surveys are for a direct
line from Hudson TO Greeley, cover less
than twenty-seven miles and the line
into Denver is only thirty-one miles.
The cost Of the Burlington Interur.
ban line to Greeley will be compare
lively low because of the level charac.
ter of country through which the road
will run. 1t will carry passengers as
well as freight and be provided with
the most modern equipment.
Railroad men here were much inter.
ested in n report, said to be authentic,
that Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins, who
are finishing the Borie cutoff on the
Union Pacific have been ordered to take
their men and teams to Platteyille and
begin work on the Union Pacific line
which will run from Platteyille TO the

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tomb remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some of the most eflicacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has n reputation of Its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as TO the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is TIC
remedy. This doctor has tried to curt
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
