FAMILY CONSPIRACY.
Is the Charge Made by the Grand
Jury in the Rising Sun
Murder Case.
MISS GILLEsPIEs TAKING OFF
Her Twin Brother, Her Sister, and a
Married Couple Jointly
Charged with the
Crime.

Rising Sun, Ind, Dec 23.-In it's re-
port of the investigation Of the assas
sination of Miss Elizabeth Gillespie on
Dec. s, the grand jury has returned
true bills of murder in the first degree
against James Gillespie, twin broth
er Of the murdered woman; Mrs. Belle
Seward, uer widowed sister; Mrs. Car
RE Barbour, niece Of DR.. Thad A.
Reamy. an eminent physician Of Gin
cinnati, and Myron Barbour, her hus-
band. Mrs Barbour is sister-in-law
of DR.. William Gillespie, brother Of
the murdered woman.
All the Accused Surrender.
Bench warrants were issued immedi-
ately by Judge Downey, of the circuit
court. The Gillespies were expecting
the arrests, and DR.. Gillespie drove to
the home of the accused in closed
carriage and brought the indicted per-
sons to the court house, surrendering
all of them to the court. A newspaper
photographer attempted to take a snap
shot Of the party, and was struck by
James Gillespie, who broke away from
Sheriff Rump and knocked the camera
from the hands of the newspaper man.
The four indictments were read to the
accused. They showed no emotion,
with the exception of MyrOn Barbour.
Conspiracy to Murder the Charge.
A conspiracy among members Of the
murdered woman's own family to kill
her is charged. James Gillespie, her
twin brother, is the one who is charged
as the principal, although all are
charged with murder in the first de-
gree. Each entered a plea Of not
guilty. Captain Coles, attorney for
the defendants, presented petitions for
writs Of haDeas corpus on the ground
that there is not enough evidence to in
dict, and that liberty was withheld on
charge of crime of which they were
innocent Judge Downey ordered the
writs returnable Immediately, and the
petitions was then heard with argu-
mentS.
Effect of the Habeas Corpus.
At the habeas corpus proceedings,
which are going on today, the prose-
cutiOn will have to show by witnesses
sufficient evidence on which to hold the
indicted persons. When this is done
it will bring out some developments.
1t was agreed to release the two wom-
en- on bond, and this the court allowed
on account of the illness of Mrs. Sew
ard, who suffers from heart trouble
They were admitted to bail in sums OF
$4,000 each. DR.. William Gillespie,
DR.. John Elfers and Earl Seward, her
son, went on Mrs. Stewards bond, and
the bond for Mrs. Barbour was fur
nished by five officials Of the National
bank with which her husband is con-
nected.

Feeding Alfalfa to Stock.

Alfalfa should not be pastured until
1t has matured a goodly hardy crown
and root system to enable II to with.
stand the trampling of stock, says q
bulletin Of the Texas station. At
least two years should be allowed the
crop for this purpose, and even more
would be conducive to hardy crop.
IL green feed is desired the alfalfa
can be cut and fed as soiling crop
during this time. Spring pasturing of
alfalfa Is responsible for the disap.
pearnnce Of many good stands. At
this time of year the plant Is just re-
covering from the effects of low TEN.

safest method Of feeding them alfalfa.

Pigs thrive on alfalfa pasture-twelve

Experiments In feeding alfalfa to
horses indicate that the cost OF main.

The Hurricane Anaers.

The old man had place on the
curbstone near busy corner in a
city. where he made canes and sold
them on request.
He did not offer them for sale, his
working at 1t was his advertising
plan, and he did not like to have
crowds Of moneyless curious collect
around him, as that obstructed the
sidewalk and probably endangered
his privileges.
At times the crowds would form
and remain until he would have an
angry fit like hurricane. This made
the trouble worse and increased the
size of the crowd, but when angers
begin they do not very often stop to
inquire where they are going to end.
II they did they might end at the be-
ginning. On these subjects young
people are able to start with the wis
dom which elderly people stop with.

THE MOSAIC METHOD.


Moses was city young man and
had a method of overcoming evil with
evil.
One day he found man killing an
other man, SO he killed the killer
His method was not appreciated by
any one. SO he went to live on a farm
tor forty years.
He found a father-in-law who taught
him lot of common sense.
When he had learned to do a few
things right then God called on him
and gave him an order.
Moses had a lot of zeal when he
knew everything except how to do it
right.
Now that he knew how to Go 1t
right and had an order he lost his
zeal
He wanted his brother to be given
the order, so God let him have part of
1t. But by pushing Moses along God
made him very useful and practical
leader.
Moses got mad over the follies of
his followers and then made fool of
himself for a minute.
He might have lived longer and
been more useful II he had asked God
In place of getting mad.
Moses got sick Of the Mosaic meth
cd, as everybody does in time, and he
learned by expensive experience to
leave all glory and revenge to God.
He might have learned all he did by
observation and saved himself lot

Rubber ludument.

The shoe clerk thought that the
pair of rubbers which he handed the
customer would be about right for
the boy at home, as the customer
said that the boys shoe was nine by
three inches, but the customer asked
Cor heavier and larger ones.
The clerk found pair to suit the
customer, and the customer carried
them home, only to get the laugh on
himself, as they were nearly an inch
too long and quarter Of an inch too
wide-they were sizes too big and
very big for their size and kind of
rubbers, anyway.
But the customer kept cool and
made comparative study of rubbers
and OF shoes and OF boys feet, then
he tied up the rubbers and saw the
store again with a much less
positive spirit and more respectful
bearing toward rubber department
clerks in general and In particular.
This time the clerk was asked ques.
lions and consulted on quality, price
and sizes. A better pair, with less
weight and more fit at the same price
was secured and pocketed. Both Gus.
toner and clerk were polite and IL the
rubbers are not satisfactory in every
way there will be another chapter to
this record.

Bromus Intermis.

Bromus inermis (smooth, awnless,
or Hungarian Brome-grass) Is a very
hardy perennial grass, with smooth,
upright stems from Is inches to 3h
feet high, and with open panicles or
seed heads to 8 inches long. II has
very heavy system Of roots and un-
foreground rootstalks, which after 1t Is
well established makes very tough
sod and gives 1t great drouth-resisting
qualities. IL Is native of Europe and
Asia, and has been known for over
hundred years, but was not cultivated
until few years ago, because 1t was
thought it would become a pest SINH
lar to quack grass II cultivated. Dur
Ing the last decade, II has come very
rapidly into prominence in this coun-
try. 1t has been grown in most Of
the Western and Northwestern states
and has been reported on by the
North and South Dakota, Nebraska,
Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Ida
no experiment stations. These re-
ports have been favorable to the grass.
Because of It's great drouth-resisting
qualities, Bromus inermis Is especial
ly adapted to the drier portions OF the
state and will grow In places where
none of the other tame grasses will
survive. 1t Is also well adapted to
practically every other portion OF the
state, as 1t Is able to thrive under
wet conditions as well as dry. II also
makes good growth In shady places.
where most other grasses will not do

Forests Make Homes.

You can never afford to forget for
one moment what Is the object OF our
forest policy. That object Is not to
preserve the forests because they are
beautiful, though that is good in itself,
nor because they are refugees for the
wild creatures of the wilderness,
though that, too, is good in itself; but
the primary object OF our forest pei.
icy, as OF the land policy OF the United
States. is the making of prosperous
homes. II Is part OF the traditional
policy of home making of our country.
Every other consideration comes as
secondary. The whole effort Of the
government In dealing with the for.
ests must be directed to this end,
keeping In view the fact that 1t is
not only necessary to start the homes
as prosperous, but to keep them SO.
That Is why the forests have got to
be kept. You can start a prosperous
home by destroying the forests, but
you cannot keep 1t prosperous that
way.-President Roosevelt.

Discovering a Market.

How to find the person who wants
to buy what you have to sell is an in
'teresting subject and one over which
many are thinking. But If you happen
to have rare kind of an article or
the only thing of its kind and it Is
but one, so that only one person in
the world is your market and one
time sale ends the transaction the
hunt becomes much like that for a
needle in haystack. Should you ever
be trying to do anything as difficult as
this remember that while ON the way
to see man VINO does not want what
you have you may meet person who
knows of some one who does want it.

The Kitchen Floor.

II your floor is an old one, and
shows unsightly cracks, try filing the
cracks with mixture made with
one pound of -four, three quarts Of
water and teaspoonful of alum. Make
a paste by cooking them well together,
and, after removing from the fire, stir
into 1t lot of paper torn in small
pieces, and let 1t soak, stirring as
much as you can, until the paper is
a pulp, and the mass so thick that 1t
Is difficult to stir longer.
Apply this to the cracks, first max.
Ing sure that the floor has been fresh
ly swept and washed. Force the mix
ture into the cracks, smoothing 1t off
even with the surface. Leave II to
dry thoroughly, and you will find
that 1t is more lasting, and a great
deal cheaper than putty. 1t can be
painted over the same as wood.

shrinkaue IN Cured Nav.

Shrinkase In Cured Hay.
The variations In weight OF hay are
perhaps more marked than In most
farm products, says Farmers Bulletin
lfS. A considerable difference In
shrinkage occurs between hay cured
IN dry weather and hay cured when
the atmosphere is more or less moist.
For this reason the shrinkage In hay
In dry climate is usually smaller
tnan In the more humid regions. At
the Kansas station small quantities
or thirteen different kinds Of hay
buried In the NOW from four to six
months shrunk As per cent on an
average, ranging from a IA per cent
loss to per cent gain. Five tons
OF very dry timothy hay stored In a
NOW Tor six months ut the Michigan
station lost nearly per cent, and In
another test $500 pounds of the same
KIND OF hay In good condition placed
IN the NOW July 8 had lost TIC pounds
or 1873 per cent by February Is fol.
lowing. Practical men estimate that
nay put In the NOW when In good
condition usually shrinks about 20 per
cent by the time II Is baled. The
Utah station has reported loss of a
little over Is per cent In ton of tim
othy bay after 1t had been kept In
the barn for nine months. A stack
OF timothy hay containing little over
two tons and built in the open had
gained little over per cent during
the same time. The results with
clover hay at the same station show
loss OF 3.75 per cent during nine
months when kept in the barn and a
gain OF 10 per cent for the same pc.
Rod when stacked out OF doors. At
the Missouri station timothy hay In
the stack lost about 1876 per cent by
spring, and when stored In the NOW
about per cent. A stack of second
growth clover put up at this same
station In July had shrunk about 30
per cent in weight by the following
March.
The results of experiments con.
Quoted by different stations show that
the degree Of maturity at which hay is
cut influences very largely the shrink.

vania station early cut hay lost on an
average OF 20 per cent In weight,
while late cut hay lost only 21.5 per
