JAMES GILLESPIE.

Another name is stricken from the
ever lessening roll of our old settlers.
James F. Gillespie died Thursday
morning, November rs, 1909, at his
home just west of Manchester. He
had been III but two weeks and his
death was due to heart disease. Mr.
Gillespie was born at Rollin, Jackson
county, Michigan, March 1, 1886. In
1854 he came to Delaware county
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hir-
am Gillespie, who settled on the old
home farm one and one half miles,
west of this city. The deceased was
one of a family of ten children Onl
September IS, 1862. he was united inl
marriage with Miss Emily Hawley,
at Bakers Inn in Coffln's Grove town

peace officiating. To this unionl
were born two children, Henry OIL

at tho bedside of their father and

chester.
Two nephews, Everett Doolittle of
Zion City and Frank Gillespie of
serup. Nebraska, were here to at
tend the funeral.
James Gillespie was a man Of ex-
cellent habits, fine moral character
and sturdy constitution and he con-
tinued to be active in his accustomed
pursuits till long past the age at
which men ordinarily drop out of
the ranks of the workers. To this
end there is no doubt that his sun
shiny disposition largely contributed,
This cheerful spirit remained with
him to the last and he met his fate
with calmness and fortitude. He
was Invariably a good neighbor, and
there was no happier family circle
than his. when the members of his
family were together. When he
died, full of years. and ready to be
gathered to his father. the grief that
was felt over the close of hi, long
career was widespread and sincere.
| He affiliated with the Uniyersalist
church and was regular attendant
whenever services were held here.
1 The funeral was held from the
home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The deficit in each country
amounts to upwards of one hundred
millions of dollars.
This condition has called for chang
es in the revenue laws of both
countries, and the liberal party of
Great Britain has prepared new
budget, or revenue law, which places
the increased cost of government
upon the, rich, privileged classes
and the liquor interests, instead of
upon the laboring masses of that
country. In other words, the house
of commons has proceeded to tax
wealth instead of poverty, to tax
the brewers and saloon keepers in.
stead of the more legitimate bust
ness interests of the kingdom.
In this country under the leader
ship OF Payne and Aldrich. congress
has passed revenue law the re
verse of the one passed by the house
of commons. The Payne-Aldrich tar
if law increases the privileges of the
rich, and adds to the burdens o
the poor; it increases the advantage
of the liquor interests, and save!
the brewers and distillers from in
creased taxes; dt places the increase
burdens of government upon tn
clothing and necessaries of life use
by the country's laboring masses
The house of commons stands 70

more than that. He would have to
admit that Taft was his mistake, for

ADAM GOD SEEKS
CHANGE Of
VENUE
Religious Fanatic, Held For
Murder in Kansas City, Claims
Community Is Pfejudiced
Against Him.


Kansas City, May 11.-Following a
motion for a change Of venue in the
case of James sharp. known as Adam
Cod charged with the murder of a
policeman here last fall, five witnesses
we're introduced by the defense today
in an effort to show that a fair trial
could not be given sharp in this city.
THE general impression is that
sharp is a religious fanatic, that he is
a crank. and ma he must be crazy,
is il not?" Prosecuting Attorney Conk-
in asked several times on cross ex-
animation
The reply was usually in the affir-
native.
sharp arose, Bible in hand, and in
terrupted the proceedings.
These witnesses tell about what I
did and nothing is said about what
vas lone by my enemies ana the enc
mics of the Lord" he declared.
The prosecution will introduce tes-
timony tomorrow to oppose the plea of
the defense.
