fellowship with which he enveloped
not only his associates, but all hum
anity. Notwithstanding his acknowl.
edged prominence in debate haz-
ard the prediction that when we meet
again around his vacant chair the
first thought will be of his kindly
presence, his cheerful greeting as he
passed from desk to desk during the
hours OF tiresome discussion, of the
never-failing wit and humor with
which he Illuminated the most cas-.
ual conversation. He was always
welcome because his heart was not
only overrunning with friendliness,
but because as he went his way he
left behind him the smile born of
his felicitating comment or the de-
lightful reflection awakened by the
keen thrust OF his satire.
In debate he was easily the leader
or the Senate. No man surpassed
him in the accuracy of his ANALYSIS,
the depth Of his thought, or the thor.
oughness Of his investigation, and no
man approached him in the art of
expression. He was nobly endowed
with mind that could explore all
the regions of morals, philosophy, lit
erature and statescraft, and he reas.
oned conventionally upon all these
things; but unquestionably his crown.
ing gift was his marvellous power of
speech. He could so use his mother
tongue that every word he spoke
challenged immediate attention and
carved itself into full relief upon the
memory of his audience. His Ian.
guage was plain and simple, but IL
had a fundamental quality that made
1t the best possible garb for the idea
that he was seeking to convey. Those
who heard him remembered what he
said because it was instantly recog.
nized that he had put his case in the
strongest way In which il could be
put; and there are very few of his
speeches in which will not be found
passages which rightfully become
classics In form and permanent
part Of the literature OF the subject
to which they relate.
He was a master mind and 1t is
inexpressibly sad that at the climax
OF his influence, the zenith of his
greatness when his vision was clearer
and broader than ever before that
we must give him up. The burdens
which he was SO manfully and cour.
ageously bearing must fall upon those
less able to sustain them, but we all
bow to the decree of an inscrutable
Providence, and march on, carrying
with us, the neavy sorrow of his
death; but cheered, strengthened and
inspired by the lesson of his life.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe II to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
! take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used In all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Is
nothing 80 nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
TN cases OF indigestion know that
q complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think 1t is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.

GOVERNOR CARRoLL'S EuLoGY.
All Iowa Glories in the Record of
Achievement of Beloved
Statesman.

Governor Carroll spoke as follows:
Nearly thirty years ago there came
to our state from the hills of West
Virginia young man full of hope
and full of promise. He was a uni
versity graduate, had been a school
teacher and was admitted to the prac.
tice OF law. Full of vigor of young
manhood he located in Fort Dodge
and engaged in the practice of his
profession.
HE had not dwelt there long un.
til 1t became apparent that he pos.
sessed more than the ordinary de-
gree of mental activity and capacity
He soon took rank as a public speak
er and was in great demand as such.
AS the years passed by he came to
be recognized not only as a young
man of unusual gifts and attainmsnts,
but was regarded as an orator OF
splendid ability.
Public attention was directed to-
ward him and he was called upon to
enter public life. He first became a
member of the lower house of con-
gress from the Tenth congressional
district and was later transferred to
the United States senate.
"In each of these positions he serv.
ed his constituency and his country
with marked ability and distinction.
He grew in popular favor with his
people, and with the country until
his name became prominently men
toned for the highest office in the
gift of the American people.
An Apparent Giant.
Strong in intellect, full of courage
apparently a physical giant, marching
with steady tread upon his upward
public career, it seemed that years of
useful service were his.
To-day we come to pay our trib-
ute of respect to this honored citi.
zen of our commonwealth. Senator
Dolliver has passed to the Great Be-
yond. We have come as representa-
tives of our state and of the United
States to place upon his bier the tok-
ems of our respect and esteem, and
to participate in these last sad rites.
while we thus pause to mourn
the loss of great man and an able
statesman, we can scarcely realize
that he who but a few days ago
seemed a tower Of physical strength
has been thus early stricken and re-
moved.
From the date of his advent into
public life Senator .Dolliver took easy
