Des Moines, Ia, May 8.-The death OF
Rev. James ]. Dolliver, known through
out Iowa a. Father Dolliver, has occa-
stoned much mourning throughout the
state. Rev. Dolliver was the father OF
Senator Dolliver, Of Iowa. and his death
took place at the home of his son In
Washington, D. G. Father Dolliver was
s. years Of age and with his demise one
of the greatest preachers that the coun-
try ever possessed, is mourned. The
life of Father Dolliver was one contin-
uous round of benefit to the churches
OF the east. He labored among the
mountaineers in the West Virginia hills
being known as circuit rider and
cftentimes during his preaching tours
he rode 800 miles week in order to
reach lone outposts where the settlers
were in need Of spiritual help. In the
troubled days before the rebellion and
all through that struggle, West Vtr-
ginia was storm center, and Father
Dolliver rode in the thick Of the storm.
preaching death to slavery. He was re-
peatedly assaulted by mobs that gathered
and in more than one bloody hand-to-
hand fight he was triumphant. He was
staunch union man from the first mo-
ments Of the secession agitation. He
did not Join the army owing to lame
ness resulting from the breaking Of his
leg when q boy, which was finally ampu-
tated, but 90 civilian and preacher he
did quite as effective work for the union
cause. "Thou shalt not steal" was his
lnvariable text when preaching, and
Slavery" was his theme in Kanawaha
valley, where the slave holding senti-
ment was strong.
FavoT3tA with the Presidents.
Father Dollivsr was a great fayorite
at the white house, with all presidents
from BENJAMIN Harrison down, and was
frequently invited there. Cleveland was
extremely fond of him and Mckinley
used to send his own carriage around to
the senator's residence to get Father
Dolliver and bring him to the white
house. He felt himself the equal of any
president and democratically addressed
the chief magistrate Of the land as
Brother Harrison" Brother Cleve-
land" Brother Mckinley" or Brother
Roosevelt" as the case might be; never
as Mr.. President"
He felt free to admonish president
spiritually and he used to relate that on
one occasion, having informed Harrison
that he was praying for his renomina-
ton and reelection and believed he de-
served it, Harrison said modestly that
he had tried to do his best, and the
president was, in Father Delivers
words, "as humble as child when he
said It," President Roosevelt thought
as much Of Father Dolliver as did his
predecessors; had seat reserved fol
him next to the speaker of the house at
the east wing.

The result of the meeting was that

on WAYS and means to aid in its main
tenance. He stated that Colonel Jones

Federal government, but this was
drawn against for equipment only, and
if the militia went into camp for at
least five days, the guardsmen would
be paid on the regular army schedule
of pay.
On vote to ascertain the sense of
the meeting il was practically unani-
mously decided that the militia organ
ization should be kept up. +. NJ.
Swanzy expressed The opinion that it
would be a pity to drop the militia,
for when it was needed, it would be
awkward TO find it had been disband-
ed. If the local people did not main
tain the militia the Territory stood to
lose the Federal appropriation. He
called attention to the statement that
the Governor had power to call out the
Federal troops. He thought that when
such an opportunity presented itself,
such power would be curtailed.
b. +. Dillingham; agreed with this
statement. Mr.. Tenney explained that
the power to call out the troops was
made when the Territory had no direct
means of communication with the main
land and was isolated. Now there was
cable communication, and if the Cow
ernor once called out the Federal
troops he would probably not be given
the chance again. George w. Smith
also agreed with this. He felt that the
Governor would be promptly called
down if he called out the troops. He
maintained the loyal militia should be
kept up by the local government. The
cry of economy was not carried out,

was from $4,000, 900 to ST, 100000.

These are by no means the measure
Of Mr.. Rockefeller's banking interests.
A well-informed Wall street financier
showed me a list recently OF 30 banks
and trust companies. all OF which arc
reputed to be more or less under the
Rockefeller influence. IL John ID. Rock

try's richest banker and would have a
fortune equaled by few in the United

Oil, steel, railroads, banks and trust
companies have not been equal to the
task of providing occupation sufficient
for all the fast-multiplying Rockefeller
millions. Within the past ten years
especially a great many of them have
gone into a particularly lucrative form
of investment-city lighting and trac-
ton companies. Whether $40 900, 900 or
$25, 000.0O0 more nearly represents John

in and about New York 1t is impossible
to say. but the amount Is likely to be
near the latter figure, while he has other
