Obituary.

Rev. William Calvert was born near
Careytown, Highland county, Ohio,
February 4, 1926. With his twin
brother Joseph they we're the hf,h
and sixth sons of family of ten
children, eight sons and two daugh'
ters born to Robert and Sally
Stretch Calvert. Four of the sons,
Mills, Ira, william and Jesse we're
ministers, Moses of Hillsboro, and
Joel, of iBell, Ohio, in age and affiic.
ton await the message that shall
loose to earth the last of their gener-
Grafton. The major part Of uncle
williams life was spent In the county
of his nativity.
he was married August %, 1864, to
Sarah Weaver, who for a few months
was the inspiration of his life. Aug.
ust 2, 1859, he was married to Louisa
Ann Weaver with whom he has shared
the sunshine and shadows of life for
the past forty-eight years. Six chill
dren graced their home, four sons and
two daughters, Mrs. Ella Giltner, Mt.
Etna, Ind Edwin o infant; Frances
a., Seattle, Wash; Samuel j., Cliff.
ford G. and Margaret M, of Bell, 0.
He early acquired knowledge OF
the common branches and for years
devoted himself to the profession OF
teaching, carrying into his work the
same conscientious devotion to duty
that characterized all the work of
his life. He Is remembered by many
as the inspiration of their intellectual
awakening.
About 1855 he engaged with his
brother Moses in general merchandise
in Belfast, Ohio, and for number OF
years continued in the mercantile
business.
In his early manhood he united
with the German Baptist church and
was ever a faithful adherent to its
doctrines and usages. His faithful.
ness and capabilities we're recognized
by the church in Its commission to
him as a minister of the Gospel of
Christ. For years his ministerial
service has been exercised In the
preaching of the Word, in the COM
forting of the bereaved and the uni
ting of hearts and hands In the ga
cred relations of the marriage tie.
AS business man he commanded the
confidence of those with whom he had
to do. AS citizen he was jealous OF
the best interests of the community
life. As a husband and father he en-.
deared himself by his loyalty and de-
votiOn to every interest to the home
life. AS christian he won the con-
fdence and retained the esteem of
those who knew him by the rectitude
of:his life and exemplary fidelity to
his convictions of truth and duty, liv-
ing we'll and serving well his day and
generation for 81 years, 4 months and
8 days.
On Sabbath afternoon, June 8, 1907,
he peacefully slept the sleep that
awakens to the joy, rest and perfect
life that on those who through pa
thence obtain the crown that is as
sured the faithful. For months he
has gradually declined, ever cheerful
and genial, he faced the inevitable
with calmer assurance, that If this
earthly house of tabernacle be dis
solved we have building of God not
made with hands eternal In the heav-
ems. And though the end came sud.
denly, he was ready, and like full
ripened sheaf he was garnered by the
Lord of the harvest to share In the
glory to be revealed In them that are
his at his coming.

Of the way District Attorney Jerome
secured from Abraham Hummel his
complete story as to theafIidavit which
it is alleged Evelyn Nesbit made in
the lawyers office in 1903 charging
Harry X. Tllaw with beating her, when
she had told him that the statement
that Stanford White had drugged and
ruined her WAS not true. Delmas, first
objectiAg broadly to all of Hummel's
testimony, offered specific objection
to each question put by the prosecutor.
Justice Fitzgerald overruled every OBJ.
lection. and Delmas had exceptions to
the rulings noted on the records.
How the Judge Ruled.
Mrs. Harry rhaw was called to the
stand in the effort of the defense to
keep Hummel silent. She declared
she had called upon Hummel in his
professional capacity, and TO seek his
advice as a lawyer. Stanford White
had taken her to the lawyers office
with that end in view. Justice Fitz-
gerald declared that admitting the
proposition of counsel and client Mrs.
Thaw had herself waived the profess
sional privilege by taking the stand
carly in the case and giving her ver-
sion of what TRANSFERRED at Hummers
Office The bond of secrecy once re-
moved could not be re-established.

Unsuccessful in blocking HummePs
testimony Attorney Delmas in cross
examining the witness brought from
his own lips the fact that he had been
convicted in December, 1905, on a
charge of conspiracy in the same

tiled. IIe further admitted that two
indictments for subornation of perjury

Holding Your Horses.

AT the opera house last Friday
night a large audience gathered to
hear Rev. w. j. Suckow's lecture on
Holding Your Horses" He went
back to his boyhood days spent in
New York and pictured the old
stage coach drawing up to the tav
ern, stating that he found in this
old vehicle a suggestion OF mans
own nature. Man is the stage
coach; his intelligence is the stage
coach conductor who directs the
movements of the coach; mans will
is the driver that controls the hor-
ses, the motive power of the coach
at the behests of the conductor;
finally mans passions are the hor-
ses themselves. And it was to the
horses, mans passions, that Rev.
Suckow called the attention of the
audience. He pointed out that the
passions come first in human life
and at the age of six the child runs
almost the whole gamut Of human
feelings and passions, while his
will and his intelligence are still in
the formative period. He refuse d
to believe that man was gifted with
passions merely to have them des-
troyed. He believes a mans feel
ings and desires were given for a
puspose, and that control, not de-
struction, Of the passions is the
proper thing. He pointed out that
to kill the horses might save the
coach but the coach would rot in its
tracks. His advice was, therefore,
to "hold your horses control your
passions with a strong will and a
sound intelligence.
1t will be an interesting fact to
many to know that Rev. -Suckow was
once a Clayton county boy. Some
thirty years ago he and his parents
resided for year on farm short
distance north of Mederville. They
also resided for time near Motor
In looking over map showing the
present residents Of the sections in
which he once lived Rev. Suckow
was able to recognize but one or two
familiar names Of families who had
been in the localities above men.

Of commission to thoroughly in

both for state and local purposes,
and to report on the expediency of
revising existing laws. The propo-
sition is a good one. 1t might even
have greater scope than the Jack

ak laws are entirely inadequate


tax laws are entirely inadequate.
They were framed when things were
totally different from what they are
now. Attempts have been made to
keep them up-to-date by amending
them from time to time, but the
whole system of tax laws is simply
a patched up mess. Taxation is
unequal, and must continue more or
less unequal until there has been a
complete and radical revision OF the
statute. BY all means let the COM
mission be appointed to investigate
the question thoroughly and make
recommendations for changes.
