Peace and quiet are beautiful; but the fighting

A train OF thought can be thrown off the track;
but a train Of circumstances seems invariably to
go right on.
Between being at the mercy Of ignorance and
the mercy of learning. we have a hard time of

Dishes sent in for the sick should be lavishiy

graphic account OF the situation In the
famine district. and says:
The Indian press is full of praise for
American generosity. The shipload Of
corn. the vessel chartered by the American
government and filled by the Christian
Herald. is now expected to arrive within a
fortnight, and the matter has been men
toned again and again with unstinted
praise by the leading papers of the empire.
OF all the nations known TO India. the
Anglo-Saxon peoples, the English and
American. stand side by side at the top of
the list in the estimation of her people.
TIL shipload of corn alluded TO is the one
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches as

gratifying to American contributors TO the
famine sufferers to know that their gener-
osity is appreciated and recognized.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, June 26.-The ar
gument on the motion for a new trial in the
]. Marsh Wilson case was set for tonight,
but Attorney Albert F. Wray, who has all
the county cases in charge, stated that he
was unable to proceed because of physical
exhaustion, and the argument was post
poned until after the close Of the Ferris
trial, which, it is expected. will reach the
jury by tomorrow night. The motion for a
new trial is accompanied by afidavits con-
corning the misconduct of two of the jurors
when they were asked the question whether
they had formed or expressed an opinion of
the guilt or Innocence of the defendant.
John Chambers, in his affidavit, states tina
John Clark, one of the Jurors, said on the
day before the trial and before he was
drawn as a juror that he did not have any
sympathy for Marsh Wilson when he had
hundreds of thousands of dollars back of
him; If he had been a poor man charged
with stealing a ham he Nigh have SYM
pathy for him. Bryan Wilson makes afi-
davit that in William Riley's saloon, early
in the year, he heard Juror Charles New
comb say that George Ray, Marsh Wilson
and William Amos were all robbing the
county. The motion also recites a number
of rulings of the court on the admission
and rejection of evidence during the con-
QUOT of tn trial.

Democratic papers say there is no en-

Is that there is no excitement. Republicans

the nomination Is equivalent to an election
that they are moving on in the even tenor
of their way. seeing no reason for vocifera-
ton and saving the air.
