He was uncomplaining tbronghous the long, illness and int- ( erested in the goings and comings of kite family ty the last. His interest : to the end in his robust, grandchildren , 'lent added pathos to his passing. ’ At the bedside beside Mrs. Taggart, ; I when death came, were Miss Lucy ! Taggart. Mrs. W. R. Sinclair. Mrs. ’ Irene Young and Mrs. D. L. Chambers 1 I daughters; Thomas D. Taggart, Jr, j ;a son. and a son-in-law. Dr. Macdonlaid hid gone, announcing the end was ( I only a mailer of time, leaving nurses in charge. Drs. W. N. Wishaid and IT. G. Ham- 1 I 1 er had been In constant attendance. Funreal services will be strictly ' private at the residence at 2 p. m. | Friday. Bishop Joseph M. Francis of , the Episcopal church will conduct the .-ervices which will be the brief Ep’scopal rites, both at the house ami at the grave. Burial will be in the Taggart family grounds at Crown H. cemetery. The grave will be near the Janies Whitcomb Riley m uml. The family announced that the body wi l be accessible for public view at any time. Flags on public buildings were ordered at half mass. Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department ordered all flags at state parks at half mast, in token of respect for the former United States ' senator and ardent supporter of conservation measures. Taggart was born in County MonaIgham, Ireland, Nov. 17, 1856, the son of Thomas and Martha (Kingsbury) I aggar. When only five years old he was brought to the United States by his parents. The family located |at Xenia, O, where the boy, Taggart, ; received his early education in the j common schools. His first employment was that of c eaning out. the depot lunchroom at Xenia and beating an old-fashioned gong when the trains pulled in. He was just a plain, uninteresting. freckle-faced youngster, when (ho freckles could he seen under the foreign substance.” John B. Stoll haq, wr tten in a biographical sketch. One thing, he freely admitted, that he was tar from caring whether his face ever was washed.” Young Taggart scrubbed the lunchroom under the eyes of a stern proprietor, and it was there and then, his biographer has written, that Taggart learned the virtues of cleanliness that were carried out scniplous--y in his hotel undertakings in later days. Forced to devole much of his time to his work, education of the schoolroom variety was relegated to second place. But a kindly young school mar’m gave him part, of her evenings tor study and recitations. When Taggart had grown to manhood and became U.. S. senator, one of the first letters of congratulation to reach-him came from his old teacher. It received a warm and prompt reply. From (he mops and brooms, Taggart. became proprietor of the depot lunchroom and in 1874, at 18, he was sent to Garrett and three years later I sent here to become manager of the I

Union Depot lunchroom. The depot was a rendezvous for politicians and if was here that Taggnrt'.s lull rest In politics was uwtikfiled. Successful and ninbilious. Taggart opened the Grand Hotel, which he came Democratic headquarters for many years and proved a highly sit"cessful business undertaking. In 1886, Thfcgartl with little effort on his own pari) became the Democratic nominee for auditor of Murion coun'y. He Was elected ami handled affairs of the office so well that pre cedent was broken. He was renominated and re-elected in 1890 for a 'i second four year term. The opposition was bitter. This "young Demo;cratic upstart" was becoming nncomj fortably powerful. In 1888, Taggart had been made Marion county Democratic chairman. In 1592 he was made Democratic state chairman. While serving his second term as county auditor, he became a c andidate for mayor of Indianapolis and resigned the county post to make the race. Encountering the most vigorous opposition from Republican ranks, he was elected mayor in 1895. His path In so' with all the obstacles noliticul opponents could strew in his way, he was re-elected in 1597, and again, for his third two-year term, in 1899. He | was seventh district Democratic ] chairman 12 years. Upon termination of his third term as mayor, he made no effort to remain in political office, but took oier the Flench Lick Springs hotel properties which have added to his! fame and inreased his fortune. He held every office in Democratic | organization work from precinct committeeman to national chairman. In 1904 he was an outstanding figure at the na’ional Democratic convention at St. Louis. Again in 1908 Taggart was the recognized leader of th& Democratic ! national convention at Denver. At the Baltimore convention ini 1912 Taggart’s political generalship was demonstrated. William F. McCombs. generally accredited with engineering the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, has given the Indiana Democratic chieftain the credit. Upon the death of U. S. Senator Benjamin F. Shively in 1916, Gov. Ralston named Taggart as his successor, March 20, 1916. Within a fewmonths Senator Taggart had distinguished himself to a greater extent than many of his colleagues in years of service. He was chosen Democratic nominee for I’. S. senator to succeed himself, but was defeated by James E. Watson. Taggart again was active at the San Francisco national convention in 1920 but it was at. the convention in New- York in 1924 that he reached the apex of his career, only to be disappc nted when the selection of the party s presidential nominee lay in his hand. This occurred when Ralston. whom he had been backing refused to accept the nomination. On June 16. 1577, Taggart was married to Miss Eva D. Bryant. Surviving arc the widow, one son, Thomas D. Taggart, president and active manager of the French Lick Springs Hotel Co., four daughters. Miss Lucy laggart, artist, of New York and !

I think this is simply wonderful." said Miss Leona Scholl, 26 Condit street, Hammond, Indiana. "My stomach was completely out of order. After every meal pain ensued, and I derived little benefit from what little I could eat. I tried several medicines and treatments, but without the leest success. Nothing seemed to get to the cause of the indigestion. “I was attracted to this new Koni jola by the many and sincere indorse- ! ments. and I wondered if it would help me. 1 bought just, one bottle, thinking to give Konjola a trial, but to my surprise, that one liottle relieved my trouble completely. In a week I was able to eat anything I liked without the slightest discomfort. 1 think this is simply wonderful, and I am glad to add my praise of Konjola to the many splendid endorsements it has received."
