years. Before his election to the upper house
OF Congress he was member of the low er

early years of the Civil War. No man in Wash

or affairs While he affectionately known as
-'UncIe Billy" few persons ventured to the
title behind his back but it indicated the
affection he inspired.
Early in his Congressional career, when Thad-

Congress- died N 1865, James G. Blaine who entered
the House the same year Mr.. Allison did remarked

he removed Iowa, he for District Attorney in

The most widely told story of Senator Allison

apochryphal. but follows: He was riding

The Senator adjusted his eyeglasses. peered at
the sheep carefully and responded:
Apparently so; this side.
Senator Allison would vote for an appro-
pration in the annual expenses OF the District OF
Columbia for the removal of the snow from the
streets of Washington. In justification OF this attl-
tude on his part he was accustomed to say: no"

this capacity: "He has controlled more than any

He has been compelled in the discharge OF his
duty to understand the complications and the
mechanism of public administration and public
expenditure. He has by his wise and moderate
counsel drawn the fire from many wild and dan

safety"

could walk from Washington to Dubuque on a

RICH MANS
HALluC|NAT|ON

! Rome, Aug. 5.-A strange stor,
, OF haunting comes from Baronessi
village near Salerno, where a rich
young landowner has committed
suicide, being driven to the act. Sc
he stated in letter, by the contin.
ual presence OF an apparation.
1t was one night last year tina.
the haunting began, when the
landowner, Tammaso Giordano, who
was only 80 years of age. returned
home fro ma Journey AS he ap-
preached the house he was surpris-
ed, SO he told his friends afterwards
to see it lit up and with the doors
wide open.
Thinking thieves had broken In
he aroused his servants, and direct
ley he did so the lights all W
out. The house was searched, no.
body was found in it, an dnothing
could be found amiss. So G,ordano
went to bed thinking himself the
victim Of an illusion. but towards
morning he was suddenly awakened.
Looking up he saw leaning over
him an old woman dressed in back
This parsonage announced herself
as witch. and prophesied his VIC
lent death. Ever after then the
landowner avered he was prosecuted
by the witch, from whom in vain he
tried to escape.
He continued to attend as usual
to his affairs, but he always com
planned to his friends and servants
that he could not get rid of the
woman. who, sinnce the first night
OF her appearance, always visited
him day and night whenever he was
alone.
GiordanO as a last resort went to
several doctors. who certified him as
OF sound mind, and told him to
travel and so divert his attent'"
But the woman would sit near him
in the train, and last week he re
turned home, wrote letters to his
friends, saying the witch had driven
him to death, and then blew out his
brains with revolver.

AGAINST COUNTY DIVISION.
Old Fight Will Not Be Renewed
This Fall.

The question OF county division
| that for the past several years has
entered into the political situation
in Nez Perez county has been en-
tirly eliminated this year by the &C.
ton - the Nezperc Republicans
who. at a recent meeting, went or
record as opposed to any county d.
vision at this time and unfavorable
TO any delegate or candidate who
VIII agitate the county division
question either during the campaign
OF legislature.
The position taken by the Nez-
nerce Republicans Is that the inter
ests of the county at this time will
be better served by leaving the
county intact and that county divi-
sion agitation would only result to
the detriment Of all sections.
The fight for county division In
formei' years has conferred about
Nezperce. but the action of Repub-
lican leaders OF that community In
declaring against such an agitation
has removed the question from con-
sideration this year. The Nezperce
people have privately expressed
themselves against county division
for the past several months, but de
spite this position rumors have been
afoat to the effect that the old fight
would be en- in full force when the
was fairly opened. To set
tie permanently this question. the
