I. feci that, I have.losra friend. In "the death of Geo. D. Perkins.

Before I came to Sioux City, when I lived In Burling ton and traveled out from there, it was generally by traveling men that The Sioux City Journal was the leading daily in the northwest, with one of the -best editors In the state. It is twenty-five years I came to Sioux City and became a constant reader, of The Journal. The editorials and Sunday sermons In terested me more than all the rest of the paper. I always felt especially bene- fited in reading. Mr.

Perkins; Sunday lessons, on the bible topics. Lire Stock Exchange. The Live Stock exchange passed the following resolutions: To vou." bereaved ones, the members of tho Sioux City Live Stock exchange offer our sympathy. In this separation from nusoana ana lather -you nave-met witn irreparable loes, for the promise of immortality. The spoken word or written expression from we who knew Mr.

Perkins OAly as a friend and neighbor, as a molder of thought and opinion," as a public spirited citizen and patriot, can in no wise assuage or lessen your grief, yet we tender our condolences with all sincerity, that you may know we too are deeply grieved. As the moving spirit of the great-enterprise he founded, which by his untiring energy, zeal and integrity he made a power for good In this city, state and nation, he has laid upon us as citizens a debt we shall be long In discharging. As a counsellor, a neighbor and friend, the obligations we owe to him cannot be overestimated. As our oo-laborer in this vineyard In the upbuilding of our live, stock market, he was ever optimistic as to the great future of Sioux City and her territory, ever courageous In time of stress, always quick by advice and precept and substantial help to aid those in doubt or distress-, those lacking in confidence and vision, nor was he lacking in wisdom nor overconfident In times of prosperity. We, and may we say others of our citizens, realized his worth during his stay among us, less than we do today, and our loss we now know will grow upon us as the cycle of the years roll on.

In life we regret we did not pay to him all the honor, the recognition and the credit that was hia due. Now that he is gone our obligations may not be discharged, except that in gaining that haven beyond, wherein he shall find peace and rest and happiness for all eternity, we have faith that in the master's greeting, "Well done thou good and faithful servant," he shall receive the measure- of reward that is his due. As we lay upon his bier a tribute of respect to his memory, an acknowledgment of our appreciation of his worth and goodness, may you catch the message that the beauty and frajrranee nf thrnc blossoms are no more beautiful nor more iragrant to you. than la the life, the character and the accomplishments of him who Is gone, but who, by God's good grace and mercy, we hope to meet again on that other shore.

Perkins and'his brother Henry when in the year I860 they were establishing the Gazette, at Cedar Falls, then the nearest rrailroad point to our farm, and to which-with ox team we went aeveral times, a year to find a market for the surplus products. We both" had learned the printing trade" In our fathers offices ia Indiana before he had removed to Iowa, in 1S65. C- Our surviving love for the printing trade led us to go to the Gazette ice. where we- found the Perkins -boys'; and thus began the warnV. friendship which lasted and constantly 'Increased over -the many long years since.

Ten years "later, In 1870, or in the year the Perkins brothers assumed charge of The.

To dia- cuss the life and works of Geo. D. Per kins ia to discuss -the story of Iowa from ISG0 to 1311.

In all that -'happened In the state during that long period he bore an active. Influential part. In his very boyhood he proved his patriot-Ism by volunteering as soldier in the civil war, in which he made a fine rec ord.

No list of a dozen" of Iowa's ablest and most useful men could be made up fairly now with out Mr. Perkins name being included. while in any list of Iowa's greatest edi tors and publishers his name be conspicuously placed." Ills record of unstained nonor and patriotism is to be praised and remembered equally with his record for successful achievements.

In closing this short and insufficient tribute to him, I cannot do so without referring to the late Henry Perkins as having been also one of the most useful and most lovable of all Iowa men of the past."

Perkins. Although he won honor and renown as a statesman and publicist, it wajs as a printer and Journalist that he was most distinguished, and it is his reputation as a newspaper builder. which will longest endure. He was a graduate of that unsurpassed school, the printing office. It was while he was discharging the duties of a printer's apprentice that he deep and strong, the foundations of that character which won for him the love and the admiration of his fellow men.

He greatly distinguished the calling of the printer, not less so. than the immortal Franklin and the great Greeley. He had a rare understanding and appreciation of the art. of the printer, and it was this fac ulty which enabled him to make his newspaaer so gooa ro, iook upon a moaeri of typographical A pioneer in his young manhood, he never ceased to be such, and he kept full step with every advance In the science Of printing. He was a generous employer, and he was even less careful to exact-a square deal from his employes than he was to grant it to them without the asking.

What he agreed to do he did. Nurtur-r ing in his office the typographical union in its infancy In Sioux City, he always employed none other than union labor.

HoyU Extended Him His Sioux City, Feb. 4. To the. Editor: The paU of. sorrow in the death of Mr.

Perkins, and the good words and -praise for him not only in this community but from far and wide wherever his name was known, is in the eternal fitness of things, for. no man that has ever been in contact with him but what has at some time or other felt the touch of his benevolent and helping hand, and his powerful influence for the good of his fellow men. If I can be permittted would like to add my humble experience with the many others of his worthy deeds. It was during the Spanish-American war, when my brother-in-law, Harlan Shanklin, then living In Georgia, engaged to the wagonmaster of the army as teamster, did not expect to have to go to Cuba when he so engaged, but to stay on this side. But finally had to go over to Cuba, was present at the battle of San was one of the three men that made the exchange of prisoners for Hob-son, but right away after that was taken with the fever died, and was buried there.

I communicated with the war department to have him brought over here, but was told that the government did not sustain the same relations to a' teamster as to that of an enlisted man, was under no responsibility for him and therefore could do nothing for me. 3ir. Perkins was In congress then, and when he came home duringthe Christmas vacation I went to see him and laid the matter before- him, and he said, like the rest of them, that was. one of the. rules of the department and could hardly do an.vthlng.

Then I said to him. tTvhile the man that drives a team may not come so directly under the department's eye as the man" whose signature they have on the enlistment sheet, but the man that drives the team of the ammunition and commissary wagon is just as necessary an adjunct to the prosecution of the- war as the man with a gun in the front, in fact the man with the gun could not exist very long it he had not the assistant behind him to. furnish him with ammunition and The same obligations of the government to this man may not exist regarding caring for bis dependent family as to that the enlisted man, and we are not asking for that, but think it would be very, unjust for this great United States to leave a vasux who had been assisting and instrumental In. the prosecution of the war, and fallen on foreign soil, and refuse to bring him back to his native land." Mr. Perkins pondered a little and then saidL to me: "Tour argument is very good and logical.

Write me a letter to that effect, and when I go back I will take it up with the department.
