seriously sick for several weeks and
for the past two or three days his

nounced that he hoped to be able to
stay the advance of the disease within
a few days, but fever set in and medi-
cal skill was poweress. For a long time
Mr.. Clark had been the sufferer of
chronic Inflammation and of late his
complaint had been aggravated.
Samuel M. Clark was a beloved figure
in Iowa politics and had held many of
fees of trust in the state. including
that of congressman, representing the
First district for two terms, from 1895
lito 1899. AT the close of the Fifty fifth
congress he announced that he would
not be a candidate. for reelection from
the First district on account of his
failing health and desire to have a lit

Ling years of his life. He took up the
| editorial pen of the Gate City, which he
/ had relinauished when he went to con-
gress, but soon he found that even this

vitality and less than a year ago he
disposed of his interest in the paper.
