MoURNED IN THE DISTRICT.
Senator Allisons Death Causes Scr
row in Washington.

The news of the death of Senator ALI
son caused widespread sorrow in the
District, where he was familiar figure
for many years. No man was closer
to the affairs of the Capital city than the
Iowa senator. AS chairman of the SEN
ate appropriations committee. and, until
the last session, chairman of the sub
committee on the District of Columbia
he became intimately acquainted with the
needs, aspirations and citizens of the Dis
trict. All who knew him loved him as
friend.
Maj. Morrow said today that in the
death of Senator Allison the District of
Columbia had lost good friend. whose
long association with District affairs gave
him an exceptional knowledge of local
conditions and requirements. While he
had been engaged for more than forty
years In the tremendous task of planning
the revenues and supervising the expen-
ditures Of the country. he yet found time
to go into the details of the finances Of
the District Of Columbia. AS chairman

Senator Allison resisted the temptation to
Law aside senatorial for ministerial duties.
On all these occasions he confidentially
told his colleagues that he preferred serv-
ice i'm the Senate to service in the cabinet,
and he never failed to receive in return
assurance that 1t was the desire of the
Senate that he should not leave it for any
other post of duty
Enthusiastically Senator Hale will sue
coed Mr. Allison as chairman Of the COM
mittee on appropriations if he will con-
sent to relnquish his position at the head
of the committee on naval affairs. Other
republican members of that committee
are, in the order named, Senators Cullom,
Perkins, Warren, Gallinger and Elkins.
Senator Hale will also probably become
chairman of the steering committee and
of the republican caucus.

earning himself the money which took
him through Allegheny and Western
Reserve colleges, employing the method
OF teaching school which has enabled
so many members of Congress to get
their start in life. He was admitted to
the bar in 1851 and soon afterward went
10 Iowa and settled at Dubuque ever
afterward his home He had been in
politics in Ohio and kept in them in
Iowa.
Came to Congress in 1868
Allison went to Congress i'm 1863, hav-
ing been elected for the first time In the
preceding fall. For forty-three of the
succeeding forty-five years he was a man

might have been there for the other two
years, but that he destined a fifth cleo
ton to the House in 1870. He was twice
married. twice widower, and had no
family. He might have begun his Con-
gressional career earlier, but instead put
In two years at the opening of the civil
war as a member OF the staff of Gov
kirkwood in charge of the raising and
equipment of the Iowa troops. In which
he did service admittedly OF more value
than any man could at that time have
rendered in the field.
Mr.. Allison had long been regarded as
and called the leader of the Senate. He
was member-and one of the most il
not the most. infuential-of the little
group which was first broken into by the
death of Orville H. Plat Of Connecticut

and Hale.

while occupying this position Is, with
your two hands strongly clenched,
press upon the abdomen firmly, causing
the subjacen. parts TO yield to the
pressure. This action may be contin-

whole region OF the abdomen. This
action excites the muscular contrac-
tillty OF the tube.

Repeat this action ten or twelve
times, using care that the arms are
stretched so that they are exactly in

This exercise may be varied. when
the arms are stretched, by permitting

which. II not entirely applicable for a

some other that may act more TO the

The first exercise is given in a
standing position, the body slightly

OF the nat hand in striking. However
