Many of the last years of his lie he spent quietly at his home In a secluded section of Indianapolis. McAdenville Matters. finnuuanullB, lull.. July 22 James Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet, died this evening. Riley suffered from the extreme heat all today but was thought to be resting easy tonight. He asked his nurse for a drink of water at 11 o'clock. When she returned with tt he was dead. Death was due to a stroke of pa ralysis. Riley, born of the Middle Wset. sang the Joys, sorrows, fancies and humors of its folk, largely in its own dialect. The world was so touched by his inspiration and the realism of bis homely symbols that he was one of the few, that, devot ing their lives to poetry, gained a fortune Riley was peculiarly sensitive as to the advance of age and evaded in quiries as to the data of his birth but the most accurate information available Indicates that he was born in 1848. "Should you ask his age," one ot his friends said, "he would answer 'This side of forty, and leave you to guess which side." The poet was the son of Reuben A. Riley, a lawyer and political speaker of Greenfield, Ind. The boy could not be brought to the dull rou tine of school days, but he was wise in the lore of stream and fields. His mother, who was Elizabeth Marine, before her marriage, was a writer of verse and Riley In later life attribut ed some of his impracticability to her. Instead of preparing for the prac tice of law, as his father wished, the son turned itinerant sign painter. For ten years he roved through the Ohio Valley, painting signs on fences. He had the trick of- the brush and pencil and cleverly drew sketches il lustrating the virtues of merchan dise. He was naturally musical and shone as a fiddler in the villages at which his party stopped at night. He played for dances and at concerts tn country hotels. Ht wrote rhymes. which sometimes found their way into country nwespapers. He led this cheerful, free and easy life late in the '70s. then he took employment as a reporter on a news paper at Anderson, ind. in 1877. lor the purpose, as he said, of proving that be could write poetry of value, he perpetrated the Poe hoax which for years was a literary sensation. He wrote a poem in the style of Ed gar Allen Poe, to which he gave the characteristic title of "Leonanie." and.lt waa offered to the public as a hitherto unpublished product of the genius of Poe. One of the stan zas was: ' "Leonanie angels named her, And they took the light Of the laughing stars and framed her In a smile of white. And they made her hair of gloomy Midnight and her eyes of bloomy Moonshine and they brought her to me In the solemn night." In some quarter the poem was a cepted as genuine; in others it was denounced as a fraud. After the controversy had waged for months Riley confessed. . . In the early '80s he began writing verses In "Hoosier" dialect for the old Indianapolis Journal. He sent some of his poems to Henry Wads worth Longfellow and they received his praise. A volume was published and "the Hoosier poet" began to win a public. He was an excellent read er of his own. dialect verse and for the following 15 year, or until 1898, he made tours of the country, . ap pearing in public with great success both alone and in association with the humorist. Bill Nye, who was his intimate friend. . Publication of books of poems year after year brought Riley a for tune and wide recognition ot his lit erary genius and not only - in the genre form. Many of hi poems are ot Imaginative fantasy or gently philosophic In 1902 he received the degree of master of arts from Tale University and in 1104 the University of Penn sylvania conferred upon him the de gree of doctor of letter. Indiana University conferred the honorary degree of LL. D. on him In HOT In July. 1111, the poet presented to the city of Indianapolis property McADENVILLE, July 24. Mc Adenville Is still above the high wa ter mark and is not so badly dam aged as it was first thought to be. Continued rain, .however, interferes with any repair work.. The new mill started up Tuesday and it is thought the old mill will be started up soon. The electric power company's men were busy Saturday and Sunday getting the wires up to run the new mill. All the men who want to work are being kept busy tearing, away the wreckage and cleaning up the machinery which has been under water. Messrs. M. J. Ray, Worth Autry, Boyd Jenkins, John Bentley, Sam Wright and George Wright were rowing across the river and their boat washed against a raft and was washed under the raft. All jumped to the raft and were marooned there, and thus escaped drowning. Mr. W. H. Wagstaff went to thetr rescue in another boat. Prof. J. U Webb will leave the last of this week for Georgia, where he will teach several singing schools. On account of the rain and mud the closing of the singing school at Lowell was postponed from Satur day night until tonight. Mr. H. B. Little returned Satur day by automobile from Hickory, where he has been on an extended visit to his old home. Mr. Walter Barber, who moved from this place to Rhodhlss some time ago, baa moved back and taken up his old Job wlto-Mr. J. W. Little. He had worn out a pair of shoe soles here, and therefore could not stay away. Messrs. Charles Adcock and John Reeves were rowing our Baptist preacher across. the river In a boat last week when the boat capsized with them and all got a wetting. We suppose the preacher didn't care, for he is used to the river you know. 'What He Wanted. Into the office of a railroad presi dent came a burly Irishman, who said: "Me name's Casey. Oi want a pass to St. Louis. Oi worruk in . th' yar-r-ds." 1 "That s no way to ask for a pass, corrected the president. "You should introduce yourself politely. Come back in . an hour and try it again." At the end of the hour the Irish man came back. Doffing his hat, he inquired: "Ar-re yes th' president!" "I am." "Me name is Patrick Casey. Oi've be'n workin' in th yar-r-ds." "Glad to know you, Mr. Casey, what can I do for you?" inquired the president warmly. - ) "Yez can all go to thunder. Oi've a Job an' a pass on th' Wabash."
