TWO BIG TRIALS


ford, Indiana, of Wide Interest.
A census OF the shotguns in Rising
Sun, Ind, was a feature of Tuesday g
hearing in the Gillespie murder trial.
The result was believed to count against
Defendants James Gillespie and Myron
Barbour.
Deputy Sheriff Overly testified that
there was only one gun in the village
that carried the size shell with which
Elizabeth Gillespie was killed, and that
was owned by James Gillespie. This
testimony was not quite consistent with
that Of Benjamin Harris, a hardware
dealer, who said he had heard there were
two other such guns owned in the vii
luge, but had seen only Gillespie's.
Everett Downey and Otto Woodburn
testified that the night before Thanks
giving Myron Barbour entered the shop
at which both were employed and placed
q box Of shells upon the table. Downey
said they were sixteen gauge shells, the
kind used In Gillespie's gun and the kind
with which Elizabeth was shot.
Theodore W. Franklin, a detective,
told o. conversation with Myron Bar
bour, In which Barbour showed him in
his bank riot gun which he said he was
going to use on some man who had SIAN
dered him and Mrs. Barbour. Barbour
told him he could not have said to Earl
Seward. "He ought not to have shot for
poor grandma's sake" because he was
out Of breath. The witness said he asked
Barbour who shot Miss Gillespie. "You
don't think did," was the reply.
At the opening of the morning ses-
sion Sheriff Rumh reported to Judge
Downey Of James Gillespie's attempt
to assault him on the previous evening
and the court warned the defendant that
any repetition of such conduct would re-
suit in court order placing him in irons.
At Bedford, Ind, Tuesday jury was
secured for the trial Of James Mcdonald,
charged with the murder of Sarah Sha-
fer, and is composed Of eleven farmers
and one Mitchell business man. The
twelve men were taken over the scene
Of the murder, and then Prosecuting At
torney Miller Of Bloomington opened the
case.
The witnesses examined on the first
day were DIR. and Mrs. T. D. Nicholson,
at whose home Miss Schafer roomed
until Christmas; Clinton s. Norton, men,
Der, and Supt. Alexander of the school
board; Miss Lillian Stout, teacher, and
Miss Arda Knox, principal Of the high
school; and William Owen. an electri-
clan. who testified to the light on the
street on the night of the murder; Mrs.
Mary +. Cook, Euphemis Cook, and
Sutor Harrison.

Psalm of the Old Soldier.

The blue Is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day:
The bugle call and drum beat die
The blue fades into gray.
The gray Is blending into blue
A sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richness of the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness Of yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue Is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, long sleep
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses creep
And both were good and true;
And in the. twilight of our life,
The ending Of the way,
There comes forgetfulness of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily glows,
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory Of the rose
Sheds luster on the sod;
The tears-the tears-they are the dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray is blending into blue
The blue fades into gray.

An Ohio Notary.

Salineville, o., May 23.-Mr. John
W. Manning, Notary Public for Colum-
biana County and one of the most re-
spected men of the State, has caused
to. be published the following letter:
about one year ago 1 was suffering
terribly from Kidney Trouble. / saw
an advertisement of a medicine called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and sent for two
boxes.
"In the meantime I suffered awfully
and as soon as 1 got the Pills began
taking them according to directions
and got almost immediate relief, and
I have this further to say, that after
using the two boxes have never been
troubled with my Kidneys since.
Il have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others who have tried them
and everyone who used them has been
cured. think they are great rem
edy and all that is claimed for them"
Mr.. Manning's letter is strong rec
ommendation for Dodd's Kidney Pills
and is worth the attention Of all who
suffer with Kidney troubles.

RidicuIes Carnegie,s Hero Fund.

Ex-Gov. William A. Stone of Penn
sylvania, in recent speech ridicuIed
the hero fund established by Andrew
Carnegie, in the following words:
Il consider this newly established Car
negie Hero Fund the most ridiculous,
foolish and inane organization of the
present day." he said. ''If the same
spirit now prevails that was shown by
Americans during the Civil War that
Insignificant fund of $5.OOO,OO0 won't
last a week. True heroes need no off,
cial Endorsement other than the friend
ship of their comrades and fellow lnen.
What would the boys Of '61 and '65
have thought Of hero fund in those per-
ilous days? Heroes who are heroes be-
come so for love and devotion to their
country and their fellow men, and
would shun public charity for their

CHICAGO HASN'T THE MONEY.
City Needs Over S1OO,OOO,OOO to Buy
Street Railroad Lines.

City Needs Over 800, ,OOO, 900 to Buy
Street Railroad Lines.
By a majority of 10000 the people of
Chicago have demanded municipal own
ership Of the street railways. Thousands
of those who voted for this reform at
the recent election expected it to be put
into effect Immediately. But Chicago
will be considerably older before the city
owns anGN controls the traction utilities.
One great obstacle is that the city has
no money to buy the valuable plants. An
other equally potent obstacle is the re-
fusal of the traction companies to sell.
AT a rough, but fair estimate, the
street railways of Chicago, elevated and
surface, are worth $1OO,OOO,OOO. This
makes no accounting Of what they will
be worth ten years from now. II one
started out to buy them he would have
to take this figure or something closely
approximating it as basis to work from.
At the present time Chicago is Mt the ex-
treme limit of her bonded indebtedness.
1t is difficult to borrow money even for
running expenses. Many bridges, streets
and other public properties are falling
Into decay because the city has no money

repair. Improvements that are we'll
nigh vital have to be ignored because
there are no funds. Before the city could
take over the street railways the Illinois
Legislature would be called upon to pass
an act permitting the issue Of bonds The
Illinois Legislature has never been noted
for its friendly spirit toward the city,
and serious trouble might be encountered
at the very outset.
The question of the refusal Of the
traction companies to sell must also be
taken into account. Some of the prin-
cipal trunk lines are in the hands OF fed
eral receivers, and are protected by the
government. 1t is argued that the city
government, by Withholding franchises,
refusing protection during labor troubles
and displaying hostility in numerous
ways could make it so unpleasant and
improbable for the companies that they
would be forced to sell. Some of the
lines have franchises running many
years. and unless forced to do so will not
sell except at profit. But all this argu-
ment amounts to nothing until the city
finds some source Of revenue or some
method Of raising the money to buy.
The Chicago City Railway Company
owns 21S.71 miles of electric and cable
lines, has $19,0OO,OOO Of capital stock
and pays over 10 per cent dividend. This
is the principal line, financially. The
Chicago Consolidated Traction Company
owns 205 miles Of track and has a capi-
tai stock of $15.0OO,OOO, all of which is
outstanding. The Chicago General Rail-
way Company owns 26 miles of track.
The Chicago Union Traction Company
owns 297 miles and controls 2O5 miles in
addition. Its property is worth nearly
$50, 100000. The Calumet Electric
Street Railway Company operates so
miles Of track. The total street railway
trackage Of Chicago exceeds 1000 miles.
There are employed by the various trac-
tion companies a round total Of about
persons.

NGH IUlh the international Mer-
camille Agency indicate
that general trade is picking up
throughout the West and South. East
ern business also has been stimulated
except in the New England States,
where depression incident to the gen.
eral closing Of cotton mills is having
marked effect. Most of the improve
ment is ascribed to more seasonable
weather and the belief that underlying
conditions are sound, with prospects
of good fall orders.
Distribution of merchandise in and
about Chicago shows decided improve
ment. Recovery is noted especially in
wearing apparel and furnishing goods,
although the total volume for the sea-
son is scarcely up to the 1908 record.
In the city of Chicago trade has been
disturbed somewhat by politics, and
local merchants are displaying great
caution. Labor is much more settled
than a year ago. The tie-up in lake
traffic has had as yet only slight influ-
ence. Building is active at Chicago,

a normal gain compared with last sea-
son. Farmers are generally encour-
aged over the outlook. Receipts of
lumber at st. Louis have been large
and railroads at that center report i'm
proved business during the week.
Winter wheat in the Southwest has
been helped by more favorable wealth
er. Too much rain in the Northwest
has retarded the planting Of spring
wheat and conditions east Of the Mis-
sissippi reflect serious damage in the
Ohio Valley district, where only half
the average yield is expected. Loss Of
acreage, shown in the government rc-
port, is not surprising. 1t may still be
reclaimed If the weather continues
good. The st. Paul district reports a
larger spring wheat acreage than
usual.
The outlook in the iron industry Is
still modified by the attitude Of the
railroads, which will not buy under
present conditions. One Western sys-
tenn is said to have held back an order
for 10000 cars until after election.
