She celebrated her 100th birthday Nov- amber 27 and hundreds of relatives and friends gathered from all sections of the Ozark region to join in the anniversary.


Mrs. Price was born in East Tennessee. She came to the Ozark region when a small girl and the family faced many hardships in making the trip in a covered wagon. Oxen were used instead of horses.

Early Days In Springfield (Continued from Last Week.) .


Tive minutea later our cavalcade, ! which by now bad been joined by an escort from the Fourth cavalry, Leaded by Sucond Lieutenant Thomas H. Slavena, who was ap- pointed to West Point from the old Seventh Missouri Congressional dis- trict by Congressman "Silver Dick" Bland of Lebanon, mounted on white horsea, purely out of respect to the great esteem in which Chief Bushyhead was held by the army. drew up in front of the Coppinger home, a very pretentious brown. cut-stone edifice that stood midway among a row of more unpretentious residences occupied by other army officera of lesser rank. The home of Col. Coppinger, of course, was provided by the government, and as Ft Gibson in those times was a


pense was spared In the construc- tion of a beme that had every con- venience. Besides, the government gold for the uphere and there was always appropriation enough 10 provide all the comforts which a family of the distinction of Cof. Coppinger required and Was en- titled to.

After a great amount of salutinx and bowing and 'pawing of the earth, in regulation army and red tapo custom, a butler, houseman and army of other domestio dignitaries of greater or less rank, and an army of nolsy doga, running from com- mon poodles, sporting red ribbon rollar», to Imported mastiffs and lup-sared deer lounds, appeared to bid us welcome. Col. Coppinger and Chief Bushyhead had been oni Intimate social terms for a avoro of years and, of course, we all felt at homo and more than welcome. When Col. Coppinger married Mr. Bluine's favorite daughter there waa generally much unfavorable comment, and more particularly in army circles He is of thecure rank in the army and. besides. there was said to be great discrepancy In years. She wne a handsome, buxom girl and had m.herned much of her illustrious father's endowment of wit and superior intelligence gener- ally, besides all of the good quall- Lies of a muther noted for her com. inon, every day hard sense and ex- ceptional capability for the taak maced upon hor as a mother and in


the no doubt vary trying and irk- some task of performing the social duties in a homi that had by now through Mr. Blaine's prospective candidacy for the presidency, be- come the mecca and spotlight of the nation. Col. Coppinger, while en aristocrat in every bonse of the word, was said to be of retiring and tacitura dieposition. After the mar- riage, Mr. Blaine is said to have so- cepted the situation in a purely


philosophical manner. although he was known to have felt greatly the adverse comment on Col. Copping- er's auclal position. Something had j to be done to correct thia, as far ee it was possible. So, through the influence of the great Maine states- man, the colonel was advanced cov- eral points in his army standing. This was done over the heads of men who were directly in line of promotion and naturally created bad feeling, and Mr. Blaine him- self was severely criticised by the public and newspapers generally .! toth Inside and outalde hla own political party. Anybody who ever ! knew Blaino, or had ever kept track of his record In Congress, was Dot surprised, however, as he could not be swerved from a course, i cuco his mind had been made up : to act. This was one of the great outstanding qualities of the man and one that especially ideared him to the American people usa a statesman. He could not stund the attacks the army, especially, was making on his son-in-law. Co !. Cop- pinger was being derided as not having come from Went Point This, they conaldered, was a de- feet that should bar him from full


... soulal way.


Naturally, the Democrats, who were already grooming Grover Cleveland as the prospective Demo- cratio candidato. for president against Bleine, took advantage of this army rumpus to belittle Blaine. The Conklin-Blatne fued was at Its heighth, too, and this added fire to the flames. The Conklin faction would go to most any extreme to eidetrack Blaine and they took up the cudgel against the Maine states- man on account of the Coppinger scrap. There were distinct rum- blings then of the intimate rela- tiona existing between Blaine and his wife, before their marriage, and the dirtier Democratio newspapers were printing advance hints of what later developed into a dis- graceful personal presidential cam- paign, in which many army officers of.both high and low rank, through | their contempt and hatred of Blaine fand Coppinger, sought to fammilrch. the whole Blaine, timtly .. counter club and charge; the Ro- publicans brought forward Clave- land'a lialaon with Mary Halpin, In [which an illegitimate child was born. As these scandala .peralsted and as there seemed no ground upon which a decent campaign talght be conducted, the voters ac- cepted the situation as purely A case of "dog eat dog" and voted ac- cordingly. Cleveland triumphed be- cause an old fool named Burchard

made a speech in Madison Square Garden, "Rum, Romanism and Re- bellion." Its Import and meaning evidently being that if Blaine were elected president the country would become a Catholic nation, on ac- count of which'it was claimed some twelve hundred Republicans switch- ed over niglit and voted for Cleve- land, giving him New York state and the presidency by this bare margin. There never was anything to the t'athede bugbaboo concerning Maine pho been said, except that Col. Comgeneer was a Catholic, who Lad bern planted a dispensation by the pope . mais His daughter, who supposedly was a Protestant. Cleveland asknowledged the Halpln affair. Whatever became of the illegitimate son , history doesn't weem to be able to record. Perhaps It's best to allow the dead past to bury Its dead. Editor MeCullagh, in the light of all subsequent his- tory', Is entitled to credit for the most romical paragraph appearing during this memorable campaign. having said in the Globe-Democrat that Cleveland was the only presl- Centlal candidate who ever was able to remove his collar without un- buttoning it.

head'e activities, especially against using Cherokee government appro- priations to further the cause of the Blaine-Coppinger army fight. Chief Bushyhead was a rank Re- publican. He loved a scrap and won out for re-election and also succeeded in having Col. CoppInger retained in cummand at Fort Gibson.


By now Col Coppinger bad ap- peared personally on the front porch. . He was dressed in full


aimy uniform of a colonel and ap- peared very dignified and distinct in bearing. Hla hair bore a ting- of gray, but otherwise he dd not appear to be welpl.ty with years. He bowed most graciously, shook Chlef Bushyhead's hand fervently and in a jolly good nature greeted us with a hearty welcome. Servants rai quite helter-skelter in every direc- tion. The Colonel's body guard was a large six-footer und wore a brace of regulation arny rus a foot long. There Were sebela. Detto women, besidos a bunch of fallblood Chero- kee servants.
