ingly; no one was truer to every public
interest; no one more efficient and jealous
In the discharge of every duty. His pub

Iowa, and in his death we recognize a loss
to the state and nation.
In the remote east, among strange and
alien people, in scenes of terror and Of peril,
Edwin FL. Conger. citizen Of Iowa, is
now representing not only the honor of
his country, but the dignity and man
hood of the American people. His friends
and neighbors Of whatever faith, earnestly
pray for the safety and immediate sue
cor of him and of his family, and that
the day m y come speedily when
in his own home he may receive the
assurances Of their constant sympathy
and their ever increasing intere st and re-
gard.
