YOUNGPRIESTDEAD Father Flaherty Attends Funeral of Well Known Young Priest. LIVED AT FT. WAYNE Was in Declining Health for Several Years—Loss a Heavy One. Father Flaherty was at Ft. Wayne today and this morning was in attendance at the funeral of Rev. Father Rachel Paquet, a brother priest, and one of the popular and promising young priests of the diocese. He had been in failing health for several years and everything that was believed would be of benefit to him was performed, but without avail. He has held several appointments in nearby cities, always being a lovable priest and most zealous in the performance of his duties. His loss is heavily felt, not only by those with whom he was familiar, but by Bishop Alerding, who was so much in need of his services. Funeral services for Rev. Father Louis Raphael Paquet, former assistant pastor of St. Paul’s Catholic church, were held this morning. The body lay in state at St. Joseph's hospital chapel Tuesday and at St. Paul’s church this morning from 8:30 until 9:30 o’clock. The office of the dead was begun at 9:30 and followed by the solemn requim high mass, coram episcopo (In the presence of the bishop) with Rev. H. F. J. Kroll as celebrant. Rev. Father Charles Dhe, of Fowler, delivered the sermon. The following acted as pall bearers at the services: Adam A. Rinehart, August Goeke, Louis Fox, J. B. Niezer, P. G. Grimme and Peter McArdle.

DELEGATES READY Adams County Will Send Good Delegation to State Spelling Contest. ARE IN GOOD FORM Miss Gilbert and Mr. Michaels Will Represent County and District. County Superintendent L. E. Opliger visited the Eighth district delegates who live in Adams county Tuesday afternoon. They are Marion Michaels and Miss Clara Gilbert, both of Monroe township., and both will attend the state contest at Indianapolis, beginning Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the house of representatives. They are in excellent form, have prepared well, and old Adams will no doubt make a good showing in the big spelling contest. The delegates, with their fathers, Mr. Michaels and Mr. Gilbert, also with Superintendent Opliger, a number of teachers from Monroe township, and others, numbering in all, perhaps a dozen, will leave Thursday morning for the capital, going via Winchester.

Among those who will attend also is Mr. Hirschy, teacher of the two delegates, who won at Portland, and now represent the district with Catherine Waid of Union City.
