believe that he had killed Mrs Vollmer. "Yes, "
said he to the jury, II knew not one thing about
the shooting; knew nothing of being placed in
Jail; had no intention of killing Mrs Vollmer.
because loved her more than did both of my
former wives, and love her now" He stood up
and made gestures to the jury like person max
ing stump speech. He said he had taken a
revolver from Mr. Noel's house in order to pro.
tect himself from Sam Good, and not to kill
Mrs. Vollmer. He had given her jewelry, went
walking with her, and did many kind acts for

he had premeditated the murder he denied re-

made by the defense was that Henning had been

spurned him. Charles Sidener and James

assigned them The children, none of whom
g over twenty years of age, were gathered up
in Wyoming, Dakota and Indian Territory in
1883. and brought to the institute for education
under a ruling of the Interior Department,
forcing the instruction of a number of Indians
at public expense for period of five years.
Owing to the rapid advancement made by these
children of nature, they have completed their
studies two years short of the time allotted
them, and they are now to give place to others
who are waiting for the privilege. On March l,
in charge of the superintendent they will start
West, and upon reaching the Territory the BOYS,
who in addition to their marked progress in
literary work, have been carefully instructed in

charge of the Indian schools for the education
of their less-favored brothers and sisters.

Chambers Testifies in His own Behalf:

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, Feb. 3-The climax in the In
terest of the great Monon robbery trial was
reached to-day, when Chesley Chambers was
placed on the stand, and, after few minutes
questioning by the attorneys, went through q
rigid cross-examination of two hours His story
Of an alibi was that he was at home all of the
day before the night of the robbery, and the
next day and night, giving incidents that re-
frsshed his memory of that day. He said he
scratched his hand in making boards and cut
his face in falling on some brush he was carry
ing. and that large boil caused scar now plain
~ visible. The startling part of this evidence
was that he was at Mitchell on Friday, not the
day before the robbery, having gone there to buy
some stock This took the prosecution by sur
prise, as such an admission had never been be-
fore made, and it was evidently intended to
break down the evidence of the State that he
was at Mitchell on Wednesday, and boarded the
train that was robbed. In rebuttal, it was
shown by the agent that he did not buy a ticket
at Clear Creos where he claimed to have board
cd the train, was he seen about the station
py any Of the agents, though he was well known.

Som Thing We Know! !

We are painfully conscious of
how little we know outside of
the clothing business; but on that
and all it's requirements we claim
to be up"
We know how dear to the fem
mime hearts, the practice ofshop-
ping, and how much ladies would
like to examine and price cloth
ing for little Charlie or Frank be-
fore deciding where to purchase,
yet they are often deferred from
entering a clothing house through
fear of being importuned to buy
when they are not prepared.
Now all we require Of our clerks
is that they should wait on
customers with the same cour-
tesy and attention, whether
they come to look or buy; to
cheerfully furnish any desired in
formation; to pleasantly show
our goods and name our prices,
and above and beyond all, never
to urge people to buy against
their inclination or Judgment.
Our instructions are faithfully
carried out by them, because, in
the first place, being gentlemen,
this manner Of doing business
exactly suits their views; and
again, they are not called upon
by us to "please explain" when
ever they fail to sell a visitor. To
ladies who have boys to care for
we would say our spring stock

less, and our prices are really

we can agreeably surprise you.
At all events we shall do our
best toward making your visit
