Richard Corbaley, the first white
child born in Marion county, and one
of the pioneers of Marshall county,
died at his home at Waterville, Wash
in yton, Thursday night July Is, at
midnight, aged "a years.
All the old settlers knew Richard
Corbaley one OF the founders Of the
Church of God, better known as the
Second Day Advent church. and one
OF the ablest and most eloquent
breaches that denomination ever had
lie served as county clerk here from
September 4, 1S49 to April 80, 1855,
and was man who held the respect
and confidence of the people of the en-
tire county
He owned the farm on which An
tioch church was built and gave the
land and the lumber for the erection
OF the church.
Born before indianapolis was even a
village, pioneer of this county, a
resident of California over thirty years
ago, pioneer of the state Of Wash
ington, and always working to make
men better, he has lived in remar-
able period in the worlds history and
had seen this country grow almost
from infancy to be one of the
mightiest nations of the earth.
He leaves six. children. all residents

Prominent republicans Of Michigan
are organizing movement to cele-
brate the fiftieth anniversary Of the
formation Of the republican party.
They claim that the party had Its
birth at Jackson, Michigan, in 1854,
though they do not give particulars.
A state convention of anti-Nebraska
citizens, irrespective Of formor politi-
cal affiliation, was held at Detroit,
July 6, 1854, and it is claimed this
convention was the first to adopt the
name republican. The truth is the re-
publican party sprang into existence
in many places about the same time,
and its birth as national party can
only be said to date from its first ma
tional convention. in Philadelphia,
June II, 1856.

Potatoes to Be No Cheaper.

James L. Reach, the Indianapolis
potato king, says there is little pros
pect for cheap potatoes. 1.-The gov
eminent reports from all over the
country" he says, show the potato
crop to be little better than it was
no July 1, 1901. That was the year
when we had potatoes at one dollar
bushel. Now the condition OF the
growing crop being little better than
two years ago, does not mean that
they will reach one dollar. 1t simply
means that the crop, as far as IL goes
is slightly better than two years ago.
Last year we had potatoes ruling at
from forty to fifty cents. Now they
are seventy-tve to eighty cents, with
the dollar mark as a possibility. 1t
will not be year for cheap potatoes
The reason is found in the spring
floods. The Kaw valley crop, esti-
mated at 5000 cars, or about Is, O0O.-
900 bushels, was drowned out by the
flood and the overflow of the Ameri-
can bottoms near st. Louis, caused
great damage. So, while the crop is
improved in contrast with the crop of
the same two years ago; there will be
much less acreage. Home consump-
tion will require the Few home crop,
which will be about exhausted by
the time we begin to draw on the
northern crop. Then withe the steady
demand and short acreage, there is no
prospect for cheap potatoes.

Senator Parks was at indianapolis
last Tuesday and the Indianapolis
Journal asked him whether he intend
ed to be candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Parks replied that he did not
know. He said Kosciusko county hay
ing majority of delegates in the
nominating convention Marshall
county would have to accede to their
wishes and as KoSciusko county had
been very kind to him in the past he
did not think he would try to get a
denomination unless a majority Of
Kosciusk0 county delegates wished
him to be candidate. That he did
not want to make a fight for the sem
atorship II Kosciusko republicans in
dicated that they wanted candidate
from that county.
In commenting on this the Journal
said:
"Senator Parks was one OF the most
industrious members of the senate
during the last session. He introduc-
ed more bills than any other senator,
his total reaching well up into the
tweEties, but, what is more to the
point, more OF his bills became laws
than those Of any other two senator's
Thirteen OF the measures he introduc-
ed were passed, received the approval
of the governor and now form part
of the acts of 1908. None of these
laws is of exceptional Importance, but
they all contribute to the record of
their author. However, Senator
Parks's energies were by no means
confined to getting his own bills
passed. AS chairman Of the first d.
vision of the judiciary committee he
occupi ed one of the most responsible
positions in the senate and one that
entailed large amount of hard work.
The committee handled a large num-
Der CT bills, but as a result largely of
the activity of the chairman they
vera all disposed of with remarkable
promptitude.

CHAIRMAN JOHN BOSS.

w. II. Blodgett, the political cor
respondent OF the indianapolis News.
has been interviewing the politicians
Of St. Joseph and Elkhart counties
and says the fight for district chair
man and member of the republican
state committee for the Thirteenth
district will probably be between John
Boss Of Marshall county and Walter
Brown of EIkhart.
We think Mr.. Blodgett is mistaken.
John Boss has never tried to be po-
litical leader, but we have no doubt
be would be a great improvement over
little FRANKIE Boss, who as county
chairman, allowed his own township
to be changed from republican ma
jority of 20, in 1894 to democratic
majority of almost 200 in 1902.
John Boss is a sensible republican
and would not try to reduce the num-
Der Of republicans in the district. If
he was chairman of the organization,
the democratic committee would not
say, as they did Of little frankie"
Boss, that they would contribute 500
to the republican committee, TO have
him continued as chairman because
democrats could thus have the man.

The story of the elevation of Cardi-
nal Pecci to the papacy has within
the past fortnight been told with such
interesting details that the lesson, we
may be sure, has not been lost on the
politicians.
He was sixty-eight, and frail. There
was a warm contest for the office,
and some of the younger members of
the Sacred College, thinking to have
a second try after few years, voted
for the candidate who seemed nearing
his end. Five years under the bur-
dens Of the papacy seemed liberal al
lowance for him. So they put him In.
and he has outlived them all. At
ninety -four he has made fight for
his life which has challenged the won-
der and and admiration of the world.
Take the case of Mr.. Platt. of New
York. He is seventy, and some OF
the younger men In his party have
their eyes on his offices. He speaks of
himself as an old man, and those who
are hoping to succeed him in the Sem
ate try to persuade themselves that
he is old. But he takes excellent care
of himself, and may see ninety. He
may outlive and continue to out
maneuver the whole squad of schem-
ing, aspiring youngsters.
Mr.. Quay is seventy, and talks in a
guarded way about retiring from
office. But does he mean it? Is be
really an old man? Fishing in Florida
waters in winter and hunting in the
Maine woods in summer ought to pro-
long life. Mr.. Quay is neither a
pauper nor slave. He attends to
business, but at the same time man.
ages to get good deal of rest and
pleasure out of life. Those "kids" in
Pennsylvania who are waiting for his
shoes may have occasion to exercise a
good deal of patience.
Mr.. Hanna is .'getting along" and
has rheumatism. But he keeps in
close touch with his doctors and obeys
orders. He May still be on deck
twenty years from now.
Mr.. Cleveland, nearing the seventy
mark, is as sound as a winter apple.
General Miles, at sixty-four, is taking
horseback exercises which would wear
many a younger man to a fragile.
Richard Olney and Senator German,
at about the same age, are very alert,
and require no glasses to read about
their presidential booms. Henry Wat
terson, along in the sixties, and after
forty years in harness, writes with as
much wit and force as he did quarter
of centeury ago.
This is said to be the era of young
men. Maybe. In a certain sense it
is. But Leo XIII has caused new
line to be run between young and old
men. Many men are young at seventy.

done since that age.-Washington

Tucker Divorce Suit.

The Charlottesville Journal says the
following in commenting on the d.
vOrce suit Of Mrs. Gertrude Tucker,
against her husband, Rev. H. A.
Tucker, former Plymouth preacher.
Those who have followed DIR. Tuck

are not surprised at the outcome of his
marital relations. Mrs. Tucker had
many friends In the church here who
felt that her husband was tyrannical
with her. She was modest. retiring

pastorate here and went to Terre
Haute. Next he landed in Valpa-
raise and it was there that they sep
arated. She went to Greencastle with
her three children, Paul and two little
girls, the explanation being given that
she went to educate the children. But
-lney have never lived together since
and that has been two or three years
DR.. Tucker retained his position as
pastor of the Valparaiso church for
year after Mrs. Tucker left him and
then became vice-president and tray
cling organizer Of the Anti-Saloon
League. The amount of alimony
seems to be excessive for minister to
pay. but it is known that DR.. Tucker
is possessed of considerable property
He was in Charlottesville a couple of
days ago looking after farm that he
owns south west of the city a few
miles.
In this connection it will be of in
terest to many to learn that Paul
Tucker who was half grown boy
here, has grown up to be very odd
appearing and queer acting man.
Like his father he wears his hair long
and also full beard which grows in
an unkept manner for several inches
down his face. He lives on farm
near Greencastle and last summer
came to town with his pants In his
boots and got married by a justice of
the peace.

The Swygart Will Broken.

The Swygart will case which had
been on trial at Valparaiso four weeks
on change of venue from st. Joseph

at his death left an estate valued at
about 5000, 900. 1t consisted of prop
erty in South Bend, Danyille, Ill.,,
and Elkhart. The bulk of the estate,
according to the will, was to go to
Edward and John Swygert, who were
said to be In much better circum-

and not SO greatly IN need of por-

Death Of Cassius N. Clay.

Of IA, whom he afterward gave up
that she might marry young lover,
and known far and wide as the sage Of
White Hall, died Wednesday night at
9:10 O 'clock, The room wherein he
expired is yeritable arsenal. In a
hall just outside there is a loaded can
non. The arms were got together to
repel an attack Of an imaginary yen-
delta.
In his last moments the nona-
genarian's former child wife, widowed
by the killing of her second husband
by a train, was his devoted nurse.
About the dying man were his chill
dren, some of whom had not entered
White Hall or seen their father for
years because of his hallucination that
they were 10 a vendetta sworn to kill
him.
General Clay, the "Lion of White
hail." did things on heroic scale
during the troubled years Of his long
life.- He was great abolitlonist
when Lincoln was a country lawyer
and John Brown unheard Of. He was
was United States ambassador to
Russia after the civil war, and claims
credit for the purchase of Alaska. He
was a soldier in two wars, politician
and mighty duelist.
1t was the early duels of Clay that
threw around him the halo of romance
when the unfortunate domestic ditfi-
culties of his later life brought him
again to the country's notice. He
was a marked man in his native State
of Kentucky from the moment that
he made virulent anti-slavery speech
a student at Yale College in 1882.
The bloociiest of the veteran fight
er's ARRAYS was that with Sam Brown,
a desperate hired to kill him. The
proslavery campaign made by Robert
Wickliffe in running for Congress
aroused the determined opposition Of
Clay and bis death was decided upon.
The attack took place in a political
meeting, and when the smoke of bat
tie had cleared away Brown was lying
at death S door minus a nose, an eye
and an ear, and bleeding from count
less cuts on other parts of the body.
This was the work of Clay's Bowie
knife, which he used in preference to
pistol.
Clay himself was struck over the
heart by bullet. and only saved from
death by the accidental interpretation
OF the sheath of his knife. About
fifty other sanguinary "rencounters.
as the Kentuckians styled them,
marked the course of the generals
life.
General Clay wal a hero of the
Mexican war, was republican from
the foundation OF the party until his
death, and forty years ago was one of
Americas most brilliant political
orators.
