CONGRESSIONAL

The attention of the Senate was divided
Yesterday between the bill for the repeal
of the desert land, the timber and stone,
and the homestead communication laws
and the postohice appropriation bill.
The repeal bill was taken up only for
the purpose of discussion. The general
debate on the postofIice bill was confined
largely to a speech by Mr.. McCreary and
interruptions by republican Senators.
Mr.. McCreary charged in the main that
the policy OF an early adjournment OF
Congress had been adopted in order to
avoid legislation not desired by the
republican leaders.
Consideration of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill was concluded in the
House and the bill was abouttO be passed
when Mr.. Sulzer forced roll call on a
motion to recommit the bill with in
structions to strike out the paragraph
appropriating $l36, 900 for rental of the
New York custom house. The vote
showed a quorum was not present, and
so an adjournment was taken until today.
A violent attack on the Coast and Geo
detio Survey was made by Mr.. Robin
son, of Indiana, who charged that scandal
attached to that office in connection with
allowances for communication of subsiSt-
enee. Mr.. Hemenway, in charge of the
bill, Indignantly denied the charges
made.
The conferees OF the two Houses agreed
on the agricultural appropriation bill,
which now carries 1902, 040 and pro-
vides for investigation of imported foods
suspected of being adulterated or falsely
labeled

ence there in 1905, so that the next con-
terence there would be centennial one.
So the next conference will be held in
Winchester.

MRS. GILLMOR.

Hannah M. Gillmor, youngest child
of John and Ellen Conner, was born
near Perth, Canada, March %, 1874,
and died in Denison. Iowa, April IL.
1904. The family removed to Scott
county, Iowa, the summer of 1864,
where the deceased grew to woman
hood. She attended the Davenport
High school, and later Cornell college
at Mt, Vernon.
In 1865 she married Isaac Gillmor,
and in 1869 they removed to Crawford
c,unly, Iowa, which for thirty-five
years has been there home. To them
were born one son, Ira G. Gillmor, and
five daughters. Margaret and Edith
G;llmor. who are at home. Mrs, Grace
G. Laub. of Denison. Nellie, wife of w.
F. Goudie, of Sioux City, Iowa, Olive,
: wife of II. F. Failor. of Lincoln, Neb..
all of whom with her husband survive
her, and we're with her when she died
Mrs. Gillmor was lady very highly
respected by all who knew her. AS a
mother she was always kind and con-
siderate. her children and home were
her joy. She was prominent worker
in church and w. R. g circles and will
be greatly missed by members of
these bodies. At this time arrange

survive. These attended her during
her last sickness and we're permitted
to go down into the valley of the
shadow with the one who had been
such friend to them all their lives.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Friday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock. The afternoon was
cold and stormy but nevertheless there
was large congregation to hear the
funeral sermon preached by Rev.
Emory Miller. The church was dec.
GRATED with many beautiful floral Offer
ings and music was furnished by the
! quartette. DIR. Miller's sermon was
brief and nearly every eye in the house
was dimmed with tears as he told the
story of the beautiful life which has
gone out from among us. The last re-
mains of Mrs. Harker we're placed be-
meath the sod in Oakland cemetery
where, upmindful alike of sunshine or
shadow. she awaits the dawn OF the
glad resurrection morn.
Human speech Ia weak to express
our appreciation of this beautiful life
and our sorrow that it has gone out
from among US. We know she is now
among that blessed throng which have
come up through great tribulation and
have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb,
where God shall wipe all tears from
their eyes. and there shall pe no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying.
Eneither shall there be any more pain,
for the former things have passed
away.
