A special correspondent of the Globe
Democrat from Madison says: The
first white child born in Indiana is to-
day living near Deputy, jefferson coun-
~, a few miles west of this city. From
a babe. whose eyes first beheld the light
OF day from a log cabin, in the then
wilderness of America. he has passed
day, as a grandsire, he enjoys the dis
tinction of being the oldest native-born
citizen in the great state of Indiana.
Aquilla Robertson is the name Of this
distinguished patriarch. He is known
by all residents in the county. Longer
than three-fourthS of the people can re-
member, he has lived near Deputy. How
ever. he was born In the old settlement
called Charleston. He Is now ninety
years old. having been born in 1904
Thomas jefferson was then president of
the United States: Washington had been
dead but five years. and IL was five years
before the launching Of the first steam
boat. In his early days he experienced
all the hardships Of frontier life Indians
were oft his companions: a rifle always
was. A band Of Indians lived then at
Big Spring. now known as the Deputy
camp-meeting grounds. The story Of his
life is indeed interesting. He has been
a resident Of Graham township since the
Indian wars ended and for seventy-three
years he has cast his vote in the same
township. He voted in the campaigns in
which Adams, Jackson, Van Buren,, Har-
rison, Tyler. Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson,
Grant, Hayes. Garfield, Arthur, Cleve-
land, Harrison and again Cleveland were
before the people. He has exercised his
franchise right under nineteen admins
trations. He has been church member
all his life. For more than three score
years he has been an active member of
the methodist church, record of which
he is justly proud. He has been twice
married and the father of eleven chill
dren; but of this number but a few are
living today. He seems to bear his years
well, and confidently expects TO cross
the century mark. The distinction of
being the oldest child Of the state how
ever, is his chief glory.

Upton, June 2-Special.-A sensa-
tional shooting ARRAY occurred here at
noon today in the law office of Clifford
& Clifford, where a court of inquiry was
in progress, and one of the principals
is on his death bed. while the ether Is
held TO answer for his crime In the sum
of $4,000.
Miss Cora Cox, the daughter of Perry
Cox, farmer living northwest OF here.
had instituted a damage suit against
William Goodnight. the young son Of
a wealthy neighbor, charging him with
speaking disrespectful Of her on various
occasions.
The case was being tried and there
was a large array OF legal talent on
either side.
The gray-haired father sat near young
Goodnight while he was testifying. A
damaging story was drawn from the lips
OF the witness by the attorneys for the
girl. The Old man became suddenly en-
ragged and rose TO his feet, exclaiming:
You have sworn TO an Internal lie and
ruined my home"
He drew a revolver and fired at Good
knight, the ball striking him on the right
jaw, making frlghtful wound.
Three lawyers grappled with Cox. but
he freed his pistol arm and fired again,
striking the young man in the left groin.
He attempted to fire again, but was
finally overpowered by a half dozen spec
tators. He expressed the hope that he
had killed Goodnight and said he was
ready TO defend his daughters character
with his life
Goodknight's condition is critical and
there is little hopes Of his recovery.
The wound on the jaw carried away
a large portion of the bone, but the groin
wound is the dangerous one. The ball
ranged upward into the abdomen and
cannot be located.
He is yet alive, but his suffering is so
intense that the wound cannot be probed.
Cox was placed under arrest, but has
been released on a $4,000 bond. Good
knight belongs to one OF the wealthiest
families in the county.
Mr. Cox IS a man Of limited means
but is highly respected, and there is
much sympathy for him,
A good deal of bad blood has been
engendered by the friends of both sides
and it is feared the end is not yet.

PALMER ARRESTED.
The Alleged Seducer of Minnie Nc
Donald i'm Jail Mt New Albany.


LOUISVILLE, KY, June MAX Pal
mer, who is charged with being the pri-
mary cause of Minnie McDonald's death,
is in the county Jail in New Albany.
He was brought from Princeton, Ind.
last night by Capt. Smithwick, and was
met at the Airline depot by an immense
crowd. He was taken to the central po-
lice station, and after a consultation with
his attorneys, Charles L. and Harry J..
Jewett, was arraigned before Justice
Richards on charge of employing DR..
w. q. Gresham to perform an abortion
on Miss Mcdonald. He plead
ed not guilty and his bond
was placed at $1,000 for his
appearance for a preliminary trial
next Friday afternoon at o'clock. Sew
eral friends made an effort to secure
bondsmen, but after several hours hust-
ling gave up the attempt and he was
taken to Jail about 10 o'clock. He had
been unable to obtain suretes at noon
today, and will probably remain in Jail
until his hearing next Friday. DR.. Bur-
ton, Princeton, denies that he had any
connection with the case, and claims
he has written no letter TO Dr.
Gresham.
His signature on several bank checks
bears a wonderful resemblance to the
signature in the letter, and if the latter
is genuine it was written by a clever
fOrger. Palmer declines to discuss his
case, except to assert that he made no
effort to avoid arrest at Princeton.

Good PickinEs for Lawyers.

RICHMOND, June 2-Special.-Soma
months ago James Morrison died, leav-
ing an estate valued at $500, 600. TO which
there were three heirs-NIrs. Edgar Hib-
bard, his daughter. and Bertha and
James Morrison. his grandchildren.
When the will was read IL was found
that the latter heirs were left but 500
600 each, while the half million and
more remaining went to Mrs. Hubbard.
This was regarded as an unfair division
and today a suit was filed asking that
the will be set aside and the property be
redivided. The complaint alleges that
the mind Of Mr.. Morrison was in such a
condition that he did not realize the eX-
tent Of his estate; Iha- he did not COM
prehend the rights Of the grandchildren
and that influences were brought to bear
upon HIM which ne hal not the wills
power to resist.

The Madison County Triplst.

Mr. and Mrs. Mason, of Madison
county, were in town last Saturday with
their triplet boys and held regular re-
ception at the Showers House where
bali the population Of the town called to
see this very unusual sight. The tripleis
are four years old and the boys are so
much alike that none but their parents
can tell them apart. They are very
handsome and intelligent children and
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason are very proud Of
them. When the children were born
the three weighed less than twelve
pounds, but by careful nursing they de-
veloped very rapidly and are now un-
usually healthy and robust. Mr.. aud
Mrs. Mason and their interesting family
are visiting their cousin, Mr.. John
Stewart, at Tunnel Hill.
While the crowd here was admiring
the triplet children and most people
were saying that they had never seen
anything like it, Mr.. J. ID. Shacklette
told from his own personal knowledge
an instance Of human fecundity that is
undoubtedly the most remarkable case
on record in this country. lie says that
when he lived in Meade county there
was man named Tom NcMnnigal who
lived in Brandenburg who was said to
be the strongest man in Kentucky. 1t
was an easy job for Tom to lift a barrel
Of whiskey to his mouth and drink out
the bung hole. Tom was married man
and afterward moved TO Harrison county
Indiana, living about three miles across
the river from Brandenburg. The first
increase in his family was twins, the
next time it was triplets and then his
wife presented him with eight boys, four
at a birth. These eight boys all grew up
to be men and the smallest of them
weighed 165 pounds. One OF the first
quartet, Mr.. - McMonigal, now lives
in Brandenburg, and is well known
citizen of the county. Mr.. Shacklette
says II any one doubts this story all he
has to do is to write to Mr.. McMonigal
at Brandenburg and he will confirm it,

COME AND SEEUS
VEST
Points About Advertising.
Printers Ink.l


1t is a sad spectacle to the non.adver.
Using optician to see his rivals store
crowded
Cheap advertising space is like cheap
suit OF clothes, in that it is frequently
the dearest.
Advertising is an alpenstock with
which struggling business boosts itself
up the steep declivity of public indiffer-
ence.
1t is noticeable that the merchant who
clings to obsolete methods, or does noS
advertise, is the one most ready to sneer
at the progressiveness OF his COMPETE
tors.
The unsuccessful advertiser frequently
attributes his failure to i'll luck, but il he
had been successful he would probably
have been MORALLY offended if any one
had limited that his success was entirely
owing to good luck.
The first few ads are often like the
initial blows OF an axe upon the trunk of
tree. No matter how sharp the axe, or
how hard the strokes, the treetop never
trembles or declines until succession of
blows has been patiently struck.
In some wells, one bucket descends as
the other ascends While money paid
for advertising sinks like the empty
bucket, out OF sight, its very disappear
ance insures the procurement of fresh
business from the fountain of pros
perity.
Well-dressed windows and a large sign
will draw attention to goods from passers-
by. They, however, have little time to
stop. The determination of what shall
be bought is generally made in the home,
and It is this the dealer must reach. He
can do so only by using liberal amount
of printers ink.
