MR. SPEAKER—Your committee appointed to present appropriate resolutions respecting the life, character and public service of the late Hon. A. J. Holmes of Boone county, Iowa, beg leave to submit the following report:

WHEREAS, The Hon. A. J. Holmes, honored and distinguished as a citizen, legislator and soldier, a member of the Nineteenth General Assembly of Iowa, and of the Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth congresses of the United States, departed this life on the 21st day of January, 1902; therefore,

Be it Resolved, That in his death his family are bereaved of an honored and affectionate husband and father; the state, of an able and patriotic citizen, while his services to the nation as congressman, and soldier of ‘61 and ‘65, entitle him to be remembered as a loyal and able legislator and as one of the bravest of the brave in the “time that tried mens’ souls.”

Be it further Resolved, That we extend to his family and friends our sincere sympathy in this their hour of sorrow and affliction, and that the clerk of the House is hereby instructed to mail an engrossed copy of these resolutions to his family and enter the same upon the Journal of the House.
