Nervous Exhaustion.

An American physician who has
been attending the International
Medical Congress in Vienna says
that he has determined that in
many cases the breaking down of
the nerves is really caused by the
presence of large quantities Of oxal-
ic acid in the system. He calls the
disease oxaluria, a name that Is not
new in the profession, and expresses
the opinion that the rest cure will
soon bee a thing of the past as a
treatment of nervous exhaustion.
Instead of rest a stimulation Of the
muscular energies Is needed. Prob
ably a combination of the two
treatments is what most of the SUI
ferers should receive. They are in
finitely tired and incapable of pro-
longed effort Of any sort. Com
plete relaxation helps them i'm
menseIy, but when it has brought
some return Of strength muscular
exertion Is highly beneficial.
What special attention oNaluria
may require we do not know, but
most men who have had an exper-
fence Of nervous exhaustion realize
without the advice of physicians
that they need rest, air and sleep.
If they 60 into the country they
are likely to supplement the rest
with slight exertion, to get refresh
ing sleep because Of the air and the
exercise, and subsequently, to gain
strength rapidly and exert them
selves more and more for the pleas
ure Of using their muscles. They
are working all the time toward the
normal condition of the healthy
man 1t needs no physician, the
highest product of the schools, to
write the prescription, but a ply
stefan who should show Just how it
was possible TO take this cure when
business was pressing or funds
were low would soon be proclaimed
a public benefactor.- Chicago Re

Death of Senator Allison.

United States Senator VIM. b
Allison, Of Iowa, died sudden
~ from heart weakness Tues
day afternoon, and thus passes
one of the most conspicuous figures
in the political arena of the Repub-
lie during the last fifty years. He
was the oldest mem Der of the Sen
ate in point Of service and was
chairman Of the appropriations com
mittee Of the Senate many years,
the most important assignment at
the disposal Of that body To this
position Senator Hale will be the
successor and also becomes the vet
eran IN service.
Senator Allison was a contempo-
rary and leading spirit in the coun-
ellis Of the nation almost from the
birth Of his party to the present
time His death is a great blow TO
the standpat element OF the Repub-
lican party, for to him more than
to any other one member Of the Sen
ate is due the defeat of all efforts to
amend or revise the tariff schedules.
At the recent primary election IN
Iowa Mr.. Allison was elected to
succeed himself, over Governor
Cummins, for a term yet in adj
vance. There remains a short I'M
expired term which the governor
announces will be filed by his APP
pointment, and that a special SEES
sion Of the legislature viii be called
to fill the long term, announcing
himself as a candidate for the posi-
ton. As he was recently defeated
by Senator Allison by only 1900
votes, his election by the Republi-
can general assembly may be ac-
cepted as a logical sequence.

The Need of Today.

What is needed now in the adj
ministration Of our national affairs
more than anything else is the re
turn of simplicity in official life
and sound bookkeeping in the ex-
penditures Of the government. This
is a government of the people and
for the people. There was nothing
in the most corrupt period of Rome
to compare with the extravagances
in the administration of our public
affairs during the last seven years.
Mr. Bryan stands for retrenchment
and reform Mr.. Taft stands for
my policies. The people must
choose between them, and in choos-
ing they ought to keep steadily in
view the riotous waste Of the tax
payers money under Republican
administration Charleston News

Julian Harris, son of Joel Chandler

retaining also his original position as gen
eral manager. Don r. Marquis, who has
already made a national reputation
through his editorials, poems and short
stories. is to continue as associate editor
of the Magazine.
From his childhood, Julian Harris had
been the comrade of his father, and he

He was not only one Of the oldest
men in that body, but he held the
record beyond all others for length
/ Of service there. More important
still, his services i'm the Senate was
such that his title to position de-
pended not at all upon his adj
vanoed age or extended service.
/ Senator Allison was at the time Of
his death, and had been for a third
of a century, a leader in fact as well
as in name.
Mr.. Allison entered the Senate
March I, 1873, and had served
continuously ever since, making the
longest service as a mem Der of that
body ever covered by any individ-
ual. When he died to-day be had
just completed the fifth month Of
the thirty-sixth year of his occu-
pancy of this important post. His
present term would have expired
March 4 1909, but he had already
been nominated by primary for
still another term In addition to
his service in the Senate, Mr.. Ali
son had previously given eight
years OF his life to the House Of
Representatives.
By virtue of his position as
Chairman of the Republican caucus,
and especially Of the Steering Com
mitee, Mr.. Allison was the techni-
cal leader of the Senate, and by
virtue Of his abilities he shared the
real leadership of that body with
only one or two others. As Chair
man of the Steering Committee he
was permitted TO select his own as
sociates, and thus became in a pc
cuhar sense the arbiter Of the for
tunes Of legislation in the Senate,
for as is generally known, this
Committee, although not recognized
by law, practically determines what
important bills shall be passed and
what shall be either defeated or al
lowed to die.
1t was the steering committee,
more than any other sub-organiza-
ton of the Senate, which directed
the legislation in connection with
the Spanish-American War. In
deed, in latter years. there has
been little, if any, legislation Of
moment which has no thad the
sanction Of this organization.

Death of Senator Allison.

Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 4.-United
States Senator w b. Allison died
at his home in this city this after
noon.
The immediate cause Of his death
was heart failure. The end came
as a result of a serious sinking
spell due to a prostate enlargement,
complicated 10y kidney disease, and
during a period Of Inconsistencies
which had lasted since Saturday
afternoon
The death of Senator Allison re-
moved from the Senate a man who
for more than quarter of a cen
fury was one Of the most promi-
nent members. He has served
continuously since 1878 and for the
greater part Of his term Of service
he was recognized as one of the
most influential members Of that
body. As Chairman Of the Com
mittee ON Appropriations much of
the financial legislation passed
through his hands.
Mr.. Allison was born at Perry,
Ohio, March ?, 1929, and removed
to Iowa in 1857. He served as
mem Der Of the House of Represent
atives in the Thirty eigth, Thirty
ninth, Fortiefh and Forty first Con

1859, and to the National Republi
can Convention in Chicago in 1860
He was a member Of the Governors
Staff during the Civil War and rails
ed troops to fight for the integrity
of the nation in 1861. In 1868 be
was elected to Congress and served
until 1871. In 1878
he was elected United States Sena-
tor from Iowa, and represented his
State in this capacity until the
time of his death.
In 1891 he was offered the posi- |
tion of Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States by President Gar +
field, but declined to accept the of I
fee. In 1889 he again refused this
office when offered him by Presi- I
dent Harrison. For the third time I
be refused the office when it was
offered him.by President McKin- T
ley, in 1897.
In 1892 he was chairman Of the
International Monetary Conference {
1t BRUSSELS
He was candidate for the Repub-
ican presidential nomination before
National Republican Convention in
1888, and again in 1896.
As an Iowa delegate to the Re
publican Convention in Chicago, in
1860, ne joined the other Party
eaders who had determined upon

When the war broke out he was

A Ruse of Other Days.

/ 1t is reported that a manufacturing
! concern in Indiana has received a
/ 'conditional' order for $500 600 worth
/ of gas engines for automobiles BY
/ the terms of the contract submit
! ted, the purchasers reserve the privi-
lege of cancelling the order in the
/ event of Mr.. Bryan's election.
| The news will cause very little sur
prise, and will probably have very
little political effect. The Bryan
clause in the contract" was worked
to death in the campaign of 1896 A
novelty then, and supplemented near
the close of the campaign by the
posting upon factory doors of pla-
cards declaring that 1.-THE works
would be shut down" if the Demo
plan. beyond any question, garnered
many votes for the Republican tick
ct. But times and conditions have
changed. The chuckle that followed
the success of the ruse in 1896 was
distinctly audible throughout the
country. Many of the voters mis-
led in that campaign have been car
rying a brick for the jokers most of
the time since. The same dispatch
which conveyed the news of the po-
litical condition attached to the gas
engine contract contained a supple
mentary paragraph stating that the
wOrkmen were incensed and that the
Trades Assembly of the town in
which the factory is situated had
promptly taken cognizance of the
matter.
Corporations seeking to aid Mr..
Taft's candidacy will hardly attain
their ends by attempting to press
an old and exploded trick into ser
vice. The tentative trial of the old
plan just reported from Indiana is
not at all complimentary to their DO
litical judgment or originality Am
erican voters are VIGOROUSLY easy"
They are often hoodwinked and there
is a sort of relunctant admiration for
the clever political trickster who puts |
on a change of bill at each perform /
ance, but when the novelty has worn /
away and the stage mechanism of 1
slight of hand has been exposed, the I
trick loses its power TO attract or to /
interest. The Bryan clause in the I
contract" is a thoroughly discredIted 4
bit of political legerdemain, and if
the corporations wish to aid Mr.. Taft
their contribution to his canvass
should take some other form
