While some such ending was look

been in unusually good spirits, and
apparent health, Tor the past few

time had been suffering from heart
trouble, having had several faintlns
spells heretofore.
The uniform popularity enjoyed by
the deceased, along the river, was at

has accumulated a store of knowledge
which has made him of great value as
a legislator for the nation. He has oft
en- been talked of for president. but. as
some one put It, 'the bee Of emulation
was in his bonnet; the canker of dis
appointment was never in his heart"
His quiet. easy manner and bis eau
tiousness in taking a position on any
question have led 10 many jokes among
his colleagues in the s2nate. with
whom, however, he is very popular.
The late Senator Vest once said that he
could walk over eggs without fractur-
ing a shell. Another member declared
that he could walk with hobnailed
shoes ON piano keys from Washington
to Dubuque and never strike a note

dean of the senate. which he entered
In March. 1873. having previously
