Two important rulings recently
made by the holy see have been an
nounced by Cardinal Gibbons. One is
that it will not be valid to hear con-

The other, given upon a recent IN

penSationS from canOIical laws by
cable or telegraph, is that this prac-
tice shall no longer obtain and that it

COUNTRY EDITORS.

Judge Thomas, Reese of Chicago, in
an address to the Illinois editorial
assertion said:
The country, with its pure air, pro-
duces not only all which sustains men,
but it likewise produces men, and it
broadens mankind in general, while
the cities. the congested centers of
population, burn and consume. The
atmosphere in the cities isnot healthy,
either from moral or physical
standpoint, and rural districts must be
looked to to furnish the physical and
moral stamina of the nation, and the
country editors must finally be depend
ed upon to formulate and control the
editorial morals of tue newspapers of
America.

A SENSIBLE COURT.

AS rule those who bride public Of
ficers to get favors in the way OF con-
tracts are not regarded by the major
ity of people as criminals. Many PEI
pie seem to think that it is simply bust
ness to offer a member of a council
money for his vote, the taking OF
which makes him a criminal. A court
in Grand Rapids, Mich. has taken a
different view of such transactions.
HI. A. Taylor, of New York, furnished
500, 900 to be used by promoters in
debauchipg a council in order to OBJ
tain a valuable franchise. Mr.. Tay-
Tor did not see a councilman, but it
was proved that he furnished the
funds. He asked only that the fran
chise be obtained and that he be kept
in ignorance of the details of the trans
actions for which he furnished the
money. This is the view that most
people who purchase franchises take
of such transactions, but the Michigan
court took a different view and Mr..
Taylor has been convicted by the same
testimony upon which city officials
were found guilty, SO that both are
held alike responsible and both will

One day, writes Eli Perkins, Ding
ley asked Mckinley what the tariff
should be on certain article?
Mckinley thought a moment, and
then said:
"Mr. Dlngley, here is our whole
tariff theory in nutshell: If we
can't make or produce a certain
article let it come free: but if we can
make it let us put the tariff against
the low wage country just high enough
so that we can make it without lower
ing our wages"
"And when we use reciprocity?'
asked Dingley.
whenever we are dealing with any
nation whose wages are as high as
ours, then we will exchange products
that Isl sell and buy with no tariff
at ALL
This is our whole tariff theory In
nutshell. This theory has captured
our own home markets,
We make all our own iron, cutlry,
tin, cloth, glass, pottery, machinery,
wooden and cotton cloth, carpets and
shoes.
This theory is making us wealthy.
Wealth, inventions and combinations
now enable us with our high labor to
furnish other nations cheaper than
they can make these things themselves
with their cheap labor.

Good Pressure at the WeII-Soon to be
Shot.

After giving the cement placed in
the gas well a couple of weeks to
harden. the engine was fired up last
Monday and the well baled out.
After the water had been removed the
pressure of gas was found to be some
thing like so pounds to the square
inch, and when lighted it made a
flame Of the diameter of the well and
fully eight feet high. This was per-
mitted to burn for several hours, and
the sight was sufficient to greatly en-
courage the people interested in the
venture. 1t was decided to have the
well "shot" as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made, and CORE
spondence was at once commenced
with parties at Marion who make the
shooting of wells profession. There
can be no doubt that the gas is there,
and if shooting the well does not pro-
duce the desired result, the experience
gained will be valuable in preventing
making mistakes in future expert
ments. Bremen Enquirer.

THE FIRST MURDER.
The ShirIey.Piper Tragedy of Half a
Century Ago.

Fifty-three years ago there occurred
near the old Wolf Creek mills the first
murder in the history OF Marshall
county. This was in the early part
of February, 1S49.
In the then wild and sparsely set
tied neighberhood between the new
grist mill at Wolf Creek and Yellow
river on the west, there lived in little
log cabin in the edge of a clearing a
young girl, the admitted belle of that
section. Among her admirers two
were particularly strenuous in their
efforts to win her affections, Samuel
Shirley and John S. Piper, and these
rough young pioneers strove through
out that fall and winter for some mark
of her preference.
One day they met in the road near
the river, when no witness was by,
and shortly afterward young Piper

with hunting knife and writhing in
agong by the roadside. He died in a
little while without giving any ac-
count of the fight which cost him his
life, except that he admitted dispute
over the girl and that Shirley was the
murderer.
Great excitement prevailed in the
neighborhood and extended to Plym-
outh, where all the parties were we'll
known, as soon as messenger could
reach there on horseback in quest CT
the sheriff. Shirley was held by an
gered farmers until that officer ar
rived and formally arrested the pris-
oner. Quite cayalcade made the
trip over the rough winter roads to
the county seat to make sure that
Shirley did not escape. and it was late
at night when the jail was reached.
Jacob Huff was the sheriff and he had
cause to fear lest his prisoner might
be taken from him and summary ven-
geance taken.
The Jail at that time was an inSe-
cure wooden structure, about ten
years old, built of logs by Oliver Rose
for 1899. 1t stood ON the southwest
corner of the courthouse square. 1t
was SO arranged that prisoners were
let into it through trap door from
above and was supposed to be proof
against escape.
Shirley did escape, however, in some
unknow MANNER, soon after his in
generation. and he was never again
seen or heard of in Marshall county.
He disappeared utterly and DO one
knows whgt became of him. Some eff
fort was made to trace the fugitive.
but fine country was wild compared
with what it is now and methods OF
communication were slow and uncer-
tain. The discounted sheriff could dc
no more than was done and the first
murderer in this county was never pun
ished by the machinery of the law.
