DEATH OF THOMAS H. TONGUE
Expired Sunday In Washington City
After a Short Illness.
An Associated press dispatch an
nounclng the death of Congressman
Thomas H. Tongue came In over the
wires to The Astorlan Sunday after
noon, and before an hour the news had
Fpread generally thoughout the city.

when he drssed and ate a light break
fast. Aftr reading his mall, he took
up tha morning paper and stretched
out on the lounge. His laughter. Miss
Bertha, was In the room st the time,
und about 11:30 noticed that her father
wu breathing heavily. Becoming
nlninied, she telephoned for physicians,
but before they arrived Congressman
Tongue had passed away. Indigestion
had brought on paralysis of the heart,
and painlessly his life had gone out.
'ongresiman Tongue was born In
England Jun-j a, 1M4. When 1 years
of age his parent removed to Wash
Ingtoti ocunty, where Thomas received
his education. He studied law and was
admitted to the bur In 1870. In im he
was elwt'd to the state senate, and
In IM1 wis chosen to represent the
First district In congress, defeating W.
Vand ?burg by 6J votes. He was re
einv'teii twice, and his energy had won
tor him a prominent place In the af
fairs of '.he nation.
Ills de-ith was a shock to Aslorlans
as ho was well known In this city.

SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL.
Necessity Is the surest promoter of
Invention. The recent coal strike
causing the price of coal to advance to
almost beyond reach has resulted In
tha granting of over 4000 patents on
machines to burn either oil or gas. The
necessity for a family medicine that
could be relied on absolutely In cases
of stomach, liver and kidney ailments
led to the Introduction of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters 50 years ago. Today
It Is world famed as a cure for loss of
appetite; Insomnia, nervousness, flatu
lency, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa
tion nnd bllllousness. Try a bottle and
be convinced of Its value. It contains
nothing that will Injure the most dell-
cata system nnd Is therefore specially
adapted for restoring strength to those
who have become weak from long sick
ness or those In need of a tonic. Don't
accept a substitute. .

fulcation on thosf; wxrrant, Mr. Smith

ed warrants Instead of the cash, and In

The defalcations on warrants already
