PASSING OF A PIONEER.
Nathan Drake, Well known Resi-
dent of This County, Suddenly
Goes to His Reward.

The news of the death of Nathan
Drake at his home northeast of
Freeport on Saturday morning was
somewhat of surprise to his ac-
been in poor health for the past two
years, he arose Saturday morning
apparently as well as usual, but
died very suddenly at 10:30 o'clock,
while sitting in a chair, aged II
years, months, days. Death
was caused by a complication of
diseases incident to old age.
Nathan Drake was born Septem-
ber IA, 1881, in New Jersey, and at
the age of 13 he came to Mason
county, ILL.,, with his father, Ma
thanial S. Drake and family. In
1851 he moved to Iowa and settled
on the farm where he died, living
there ever since. He was married
to Miss Phoebe Wise, August H.,
1865. Besides the widow he leaves
to survive him, three sons and two
daughters: Walter n. of Modale,
Iowa; DR.. l.. S. of Chicago; Law
renee, Miss Caddie and Mrs. S. E.
Brickner of Decorah; also a brother
A. X. Drake of Decorah and sis
ter, Mrs. Wilson Wise of Artesian,
s. D.; also six grandchildren.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at two o'clock
from the home, Rev. w. McVettie
officiating.

Legislation is pending and is to
be pressed to enactment if possible
during the special session of Congress
intended to confer explicitly upon
the President full authority to govern
the Canal Zone and to administer
its affairs according to his discre-
ton. 1t is difficult to see how OBJ
lection can be made to such legisla-
ton. 1t seems to be desirable, from
every point of view, that the presi-
dent should have such power, and
there is already precedent for such
course on the part of Congress, in
the case of the Louisiana purchase,
for example, and again when Flori-
da was annexed to the United States.

Cuts Third Set of Teeth.

Mrs. Anna ID. Dickens who now
resides at McGregor, lays claim as
the oldest resident of Iowa in the
number of years she has resided in
the state. She came to Iowa in
1888 and located at Dubuque. She
lived there about three years and
then moved to Clayton county where
she now resides. She is 81 years of
age and is still active. One of the
unusual things in connection with
her life is that at the present time
she is just cutting her third set of
teeth. She is very interesting
character, remembering very clearly
and relating very entertainingly
events OF early state history.

The Sixty-first Congress in extra

anything but child's play in the stu
pendous undertaking of revising the
tariff. And to this delicate task is
added it's concomitant, that of en-
acting a law to create sources of
additional revenue required to meet
the growing expenditures of the ma

that this law shall not impose unde-
sirable burdens on the average
American Citizen. The Sixty-first
Congress is not to be envied it's COM

DOLLIVER AND SMITH COMING.
Brilliant Senator and Famous
Preacher VIII be Here for
Home Coming.

The Home Coming is shaping it
self The committees are at work
every day, accomplishing some
thing. Already a number of prom
inent orators and many former res
idents of Winneshiek county have
been invited to be here during the
big week, and scores of letters have
been written and answers received
regarding big attractions. Enough
is known about the latter to assure
us that we will have the greatest
features ever seen in this section,
attractions that appear only at the
largest state fairs and expositions,
and that will delight the people.
The committee on speakers are
after the best men in the nation,
and will get them. Already they
have received replies. from Senator
Dolliver, Iowa's brilliant senior rep
resentative in the United States
Senate, and Rev. S. G. Smith, pas
tor of the Peoples Church, st. Paul
and formerly pastor of the NJ. E.
church of this city. Both of these
men are famous orators. The inten-
tion is to have Senator Dolliver
SPSoh OiC uds uul lHC WCCh anu
Rev. Smith at the Sunday mass
meeting. Other noted speakers will
be secured and announced as replies
come in from them. Among the
many letters received from old tim
ers is one from Hammond NJ. Smith,
q well known grocer of the early
days, who writes that he is coming
clear from Los Angeles, Cal. Here
are the letters from Senator Dolliv-
er and Rev. Smith:

The craze for commission to man.
age almost every department of
public service is dying out, and the
Iowa legislature is wisely consider
ing the consolidation of several of
these expensive commissioners un-
der one head. One of these is the
bill OF Senator Hammill to consOl-
idate the state board of health, med
ical examiners, pharmacy commits
sioners, veterinary examiners and
tuberculosis sanitarium under a
commission of three members SIM
liar to the board of control of state
institutions. Another is to have a
single board of control for the ed
ucational institutions, which seems
likely to pass.

The ways and means committee
seems to have tried to hand out a
square deal by pretty general tariff
reductions. Theoretically the dut-
les might be cut still more, but the
country can not be welded from
high protection all at once. Too
sharp reductions would lead to a
reaction of feeling and a return to
higher rates.
