George w. Rupp, aged eighty-two
years and one of the Oldest pioneers
of Marion county. died at the home of
his son-in-law, Mr.. NJ. Waddell, on
Center street East, Friday morning at
$3.50 O'Clock, the complications of
old age bringing to an end the chap
ter of an interesting life in this coun-
try.
Mr. Rupp was born in Cumberland
county, Maryland, his parents COM
ing to Ohio when he was but two
years of age. That the journey must
have been most exciting and inter-
esting one at that time may well be
imagined, and the arrival, fraught
with the dangers of the wilderness,
new Marion must have given small
announcement TO the settlers. The
Rupps settled In Pleasant township
where the son, George, lived until ten
years ago, when he took up his res
idcnce with Mr.. Waddell. His stories

As in scarlet and typhoid fever, SO
in the grip, the after-effeets of the dis
ease are often worse than the disease
itself. The sufferer is left with de-
bilitated system, is short Of breath upon
the slightest exertion and is affected by
every change of weather. The system
Is In such q weakened condition that it
is powerless TO resist the attack of such
diseases, as pneumonia and bronchitis
This is q condition which emphatically
calls for a tonic for the blood. DR..

Express Faith In constitutionality
{ Of Act an Passed by Senate.

Washington. July 9.-Confrmation
of the expectation in many quarters
that the large corporations q the
country viii seek to hold up :he col.
lection of taxes under the corpora
ton tax bill, 10 that measure is en-
acted, by an appeal TO the courts to
test the constitutionality of the law,
was given here by a prominent Off
cial OF the treasury department. who
has Just returned from New York
and who refuses TO be quoted by
name.
The possibility Of suspension OF
this expected large source OF reve-
nue. and the possible necessity in
that event Of bond issue by the
government to meet the situation in
the treasury has caused concern not
alone to the treasury officials, but to
political leaders. who point to the po-
iitical consequences attributed to
the bond issues of the Cleveland ad-
ministration.
IL would be within the provision OF
court, II is conceded. to permit the
taxes to be collected, subject to re.
fund, but such course is unusual.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagb
Is out OF the city, but an official of
the department of Justice declared
that he believed the bill Gs now
framed Is clearly constitutional and
that any action looking to q test OF
consitutionality would not prevent
the secretary of the treasury from
proceeding TO collect the tax in the
usual way.
The department of Justice officials
not only believe the bill. If enacted.
will be found to be constitutional.
but that pending determination of
the case in the courts, If such action
Is taken, the collection of the tax
viii not be interrupted.
The government receipts are now
Increasing at a gratifying rate, but
should necessity require. the secre.
tary may at any time, in his discre-
tion, under the laws now In force,
issue UP TO $4O.000,O00 Panama canal
2 per cent bonds. and in addition he
Is able under existing laws TO issue
up to 800 100000 per cent treasury
certificates of Indebtedness. Thus, il
Is claimed, in anyeyent and whatever
action the courts may see fit 10 take
with respect TO the collection OF the
tax under a corporation tax act. the
treasury Is in no danger whatever OF
being short of funds.
Attention was called to the fact
that the bill has been framed by
some OF the brightest lawyers in this
country, and in the views of treasury
authorities. 1t would be very unlikely
that their combined efforts would re-
ef1t In measure at variance with
the provisions OF the constitution.
