NEARING THE END.

Uncle Simon Phillips’ Condition Gradually Growing Worse. z Mrs. Vanatta of Fowler is here at the bedside of her father, Simon Phillips, who is., probably on his death bed. Mrs. Barnes, also of Fowler, another daughter, was here Thursday with Mr. Phillips. Guss Phillips of New York City is likewise here at his father’s bedside, and, while his death may occur at almost any moment, the doctor states that he live a Week yet. His condition yesterday was practically unchanged; except he was perhaps a trifle weaker. He is in his 89th year, always a strong, robust man, and his, trouble now is a general breaking down of the body machinery. He has now been sick for a month and but little nourishment can be retained on his stomach.
