late Senator DoIliver, died in Hot

ternoon, at the age of IS years. He
was superintendent of the Black

Victor Dolliver passed away. then
the senator died about a year ago
and now the other brother is called.
All Of these members of the Dolliver
family were of varied abilities.
Father Dolliver was a Methodist
minister of real ability and sturdy
character. Victor was still young
man when he died, but he had won
considerable of reputation as a
public speaker. The senator was
perhaps the greatest orator and de-
batter in the United States senate at
the time Of his death, and Rev. r.

Passing of a Landmark.

This morning Charles Jones, the
house mover, began operations in
moving the old frame house on Will
son avenue recently purchased by
H. L. Hampton. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Hampton to make two houses
of the old one, locating one on West
Division street and the other on
West Second street. The house was
built of native lumber by James j.
Wadsworth, one of the pioneer bust
ness men of Webster City, in 1858.
When Mr.. Wadsworth left Webster
City the property passed to l.. L. Es-
ties who made his home there many
years. j. M. Jones was interested
in the saw mill that sawed out the
lumber for the house. Mr.. Hampton
will commence the erection of fine
modern residence upon the site SO
long occupied by this house as soon
as the ground Is clear.

SECRETARY vii.
SON EXPLAINS

r.
Many of the temperance people of
Iowa, a fair sprinkling Of them be-
ing here in Hamilton county, have
severely condemned Secretary James
Wilson of the department of agri-
culture for accepting the honorary
presidency of the International
Brewers congress. Mr., Wilson has
made explanation, which will be ac-
cepted for what it is worth. Here
is what the secretary says:
There is an international feature
of this congress to be held in the
United States. Agriculture is to be
discussed. The United States is in
terested in the growing of barley
apd hops for domestic uses. They
are naturally under the jurisdiction
of the department of agriculture.
Discussions along other lines would
be foreign to us. This congress and
this exhibition are not under the Of
fetal patronage Of the government
of the United States. The honorary
presidency which comes to me is on
account of my position as secretary
of agriculture. l will have no
actual presiding to do in this con-
vention"
