John R. Gamble. In the senate late this afternoon eulogies upon the deceased Representative John R. Gamble of Yankton, S. D., were delivered by Benators Pettigrew of that state, Hans- brough of North Dakota and Davis of Minne- sota. That of Senator Pettigrew related to the personal qualities of the deccased und the services he performed for his state. John R. Gamble was among the very first to agitate for stutehood in the territory of Da- kota. He fought early and effectively for the division of the territory, then for state- hood, and there were féw men who con- tributed as much as he did to both ends. He was elected to congress in recognition of the yarious and vaiuable services he rendered his people. He was a broad minded public citizen and an ardent and true friend. Sen- ator Pettigrew served with Mr. Gamble in the council of the territory and in various constitutionai couventions and was among his most intimate friends. The eulogy paid him by Senator Pettigrew was beautiful, showing not only the fidelity of one friend for another, but his estimate of the deceused asa public spirited citizen. Kulogies upon the life of Mr. Gamble were some wecks since delivered in the house. Interested In Nebraska Politics. ‘When the news came to Washington th Hon. John M.
