the careless, desultory fashion so COM

or helpful word. If there was one thing
more prominent in his makeup than hie pro-
found insight into affairs political, it was
his constant effort to assist these who were
struggling to rise be they young or old.
Not only his life, but his words of encour-
agement have been an inspiration to more
than one struggling student Of the Methodist
college located in his home city. His life
was simplicity itself, and his goings and
comings were an open book known to all.
During the last twenty years of that life
he occupied the same suit of rooms in the
hotel which bore his name.
OF all the incidents of his long residence
in the city, none, perhaps are more inter
esting than those which relate to his contro-
versies with Henry Clay Dean, better known
to the past generation of Iowans as Dirty
Shirt" Dean Dean was one of the most &C.
centric as well as the most brilliant men
which the country has ever produced, the
fact that he espoused the unpopular and
minority view alone preventing him from
being one of the nations conspicuous fig
ures. Intellectually he was the peer of the
brightest and was gifted with command of
language such as has been given to but few.
He was master of sarcasm and never
failed to use this weapon against an oppo-
nent. Personally his appearance was against
him.
Harlan was as intensely union in his
sentiments as Dean was secessonist. Both
were local preachers Of the Methodist Eps-
copal church. 1t was impossible for two
such strong characters, each endowed with
brilliant talents, to remain in such close
contact without frequent clashes In those
days it was too serious matter for any to
see but the partisan side of the matter, but
now that time has softened the asperities
Of the controversy those who were witnesses
to it are conscious that they were witnesses
to a struggle of Titans. Dean was forced
by Harlan's relentless pursuit and the over
whelming sentiment against him in the COM
munity to seek other fields Except among
the old settlers OF Iowa and their descend
ants, Dean is practically unknown to fame
yet it is doubtful If ever not excepting the
controversies in the United States senate
Harlan ever met an antagonist more worthy
his best efforts.

Tabor College Boys Prove Themselves
to De the Better Kickers.
The foot ball game between the High
school team and Tabor college yesterday
afternoon at the Driving park resulted in
dire defeat for the Council Bluffs boys
by score of 20 to 0. The visitors were
not very much heavier than the High school
boys, but outplayed at every point of the
game.
In the first half Tabor made the first
touchdown after five minutes play, the goal
being kicked by Laird Thornell for Tabor
made the second touchdown and Laird again
kicked goal. Tabor got fifteen yards on
Council Bluffs fouling. The first half
closed with the score u to in favor OF the
visitors.
In the early part of the second half Laird
punted over the goal line and Tabor man
fell on the ball after it had been touched
by Rutherford of Council Bluffs. Treynor
gave his decision on the play as safety.
which gave Tabor two points. This made
| the score IA to 0 in favor of Tabor.
| Hazen was hurt in the last half and had
| to drop out of the game and Askin took his
| place on the end.
| The third touchdown was made by Tor
renee of Tabor and Laird kicked his goal.
This made the score 20 to 0 in favor OF
Tabor
The game then turned to kicking and the
ball went up and down the field six or seven
times with a slight gain for Tabor until
time was called.

STRUCK BY A PASSENGER. TRAIN.
Jesse Williams Meets His Death on

Jessie Williams, working with a bridge

railway, was struck by passenger train No
yesterday morning and received injuries
which resulted In his death shortly after

Williams, who is about 90 years of age,
acted as hagman OF the gang and had been
sent east from where the men were work.
ing on a bridge about a mile west of the
Chautuaqua grounds to flag approaching
trains. While walking on the track he was
struck by passenger train No. /, coming
west and thrown into the ditch. The train
backed up and brought him to this city. He
died while being conveyed from the local
depot to the Woman's Christian Association
hospital The body yas taken to Esteps
undertaking rooms, where Coroner Treynor
held an inquest. The jury impaneled COM
prised Alderman L. NJ. Shubert, c. s. Lowe
and William Roper.
| The testimony failed to show how Will
liams happened to be struck by the train
to notice the passenger train approaching
or else that his attention was taken by the
train that was standing at the time on the
Rock Island siding.
The evidence of Samuel DeForest foreman
Of the bridge gang, was that Williams was
sent about 1885 o'clock to go as far as the
Chautaudua grounds and flag all trains
coming west. 1t was not his duty, however,
to flag passenger No. /, as the time of that
train was known and the track was cleared
| for 1t.
The most important evidence was that Of
William Rail, engineer on the passenger
train He said his train had slowed up for
the slough bridge and was running about
| twenty-five miles an hour when he saw a
| man walking on the track. At this time
the train was about 100 feet from the man.
He rang the bell and whistled and the next
thing he knew was his engine had struck the
man. He backed up and the man. who was
found lying about fifteen feet from the track
was picked up. He was unconscious at the
time.
The testimony Of William Hammer the fire.
man, corroborated the engineers evidence.
The jury brought in a verdict to the effect
that Williams came to his death by being
struck by passenger train No 1 on the Mil
waukee and that the railway company was in
no way to blame for the accident.
Williams was the son of John Williams
who has been resident of this city fol
thirty years. His mother died about veal
ago. No arrangements have been made as
vet for the funeral.

CAREER OF SENATOR HARLAN
One Of the Mainstays Of the Country in II
Time Of Peril.
CHAMPION OF GRANT IN THE SsNAT
Memorable Controversy with Henry
clay Dean In His Home Town
During the wnr-Home
Life of Deceased,

With the death OF ex-senator Harlan of
Iowa there passes away one Of the few really
great figures of the troublous times of the
civil war who have remained to the present
generation. Like most, II not ALL of his
class advancing years and the inirmities
incident thereto had rendered his partici-
patton in public affairs less marked than
formerly, but to the very last his splendid
intellect was undimmed and his advice was
always eought by the laterday leaders Of
the party. No one was better qualified to
speak OF or for republicanism than he, for
he was with the party at its christening and
throughout his long career never wavered In
the faith 1t was to Mr. Harlan that the
party turned for advice in 1898, when two
successive defeats had been sustained in
state elections and II was feared that a third
would mean the permanent removal of Iowa
from the republican column, where it had
been since the birth of the party. He pre-
sided over the state convention of that year
and his speech as chairman Of that conven-
tion pointed out the way to republican vic
tory. The convention met with a party dis
rupted on account of the prohibition issue
and discouraged by defeat In that speech
he defined republicanism as being something
broader than this one issue and inquired:
"If l do not know what repubicanism is,
who does?" He then proceeded to advise
the party to get back to the first principles
of republicanism. The party followed that
advice, and from that day to this there has
never been any question of republican su-
! premacy in the state.
| Aside from this he has not actively par
| ticipated in the politics of the state, except
| in 1895, when he was induced to become a
candidate for the nomination for governor
In this he was not successful, largely through
| the feeling that he was too advanced In
years to bear the burdens Of the campaign
| and of official life.

Home Life at Mt. Pleasant.

To Iowans there is fully as much interest
in the goings and comings Of the ex-senator
in his daily life in his home town OF Mount
Pleasant as in his larger and more conspic-
uous career in the nations capital. The one
reveals the statesman and the other the man.
He was known and loved by every man,
woman and child In the city, not one Of
whom but can remember some kindly act
