While the coroner was holding an
inquest over the dead body Of a con-
vict in the penitentiary wedding was
being solemnized in the front Office of
the prison. In all the annals OF this
pla> Q of confinement never before had
The pervading gloom been dispeiled by
A hymeneal event. A marriage in the
penitentiary Was absolutely unprece-
dented.
Ilier Kelley, a white girl twenty-ons
years old, laid aside her strired gown
yesterday to take the hand OF her wait
ing lover and became Mrs. John Mar
Icy, OF Liberty, N. G. In the Prison
reception room Marley waited 'e
coming and by his side stood Mage
trate NJ. Is. Barbee and the knot Vas
quickly tied. The witnesses to ,he
ceremony were Superintendent: j. :.
Mann, Steward T. NJ. Arlington aud
Warden J. NJ. Fleming.
The story is romantic enough Tor
fiction. John Marley is 53 years old,
fairly we'll to do citizen residing near
Liberty. A few years ago he made
the acquaintance of Ilier Kelley. Later
the girls parents died and she was not
satisfied with tie division OF the per-
sonal property. She was ignorant, aud
believing that she had a right to The
things, she simply we..t .Li took
them. Her arrest followed ard at the
trial she had no lawyer. The judge
sentenced her 10 two years In the state
prison.
While she was serving this sentence
Marley kept IN touch with her. He
wrote to Captain J. NJ. Fleming, the
warden, learned when her term would
expire, came TO Raleigh, met her at
the prison door and carried her home
as his bride.
The girl hastmade a model prisoner.
She wore a neat blue skirt ard white
shirtwaist yesterday and was far from
Ill to look upon. Her bair was dark,
her eyes brown and slight flush play
ed upon her cheek as she stood at her
husbands side waiting for the west
bound train last afternoon.

A State Of Opportunity.

By so much, therefore, must our ad-
miration be greater for the great Mid
die Western States-Indiana for ex
ample-Which have built up success
full public school systems for their
whole rural population. In Indiana, as
in most of the adjacent States, boy
or a girl may attend a public school
from the beginning Of school life till
the completion of a college course
without expense for tuition. Some
schools are bad, some good, some bet
ter AS Miss Shaw points out in her
article on Indiana the excellence of
the school depends on the teachers.
But the great fact stands out-and a
parallel can be found in the rural
parts Of no other country-that we'll
developed and intelligently conducted
public school system exists there; and
it is complete. An Indiana lad may
become scholar in literature or in
science, or he may become a master
Of agriculture or Of mechanics-he
may be trained for any pursuit prac-
tically free of cost for tuition; and a
school, during his earlier life is near
enough his own home to be easily &C

THE BEDFORD CASE
Grand aup i yll.ry Has Got q ID Down

FL Mystery.
A CHANCE TO TELL IT
Lawyer Who Said He Had Secret
Lockede in His Breast May Tell
What Re Knows.
1t Is Also Desired That an Editor
Who Made Strange Stsnement
Shall Testify.

Bedford, Ind, June Judge Wilson
IL determined that if anyone knows
anything of the murder of Sarah G.
Schafer last January, he shall have a
chance to tell it. The grand jury has
begun the work of running down every
possible clue. Judge Palmer, who
made the startling statement in the
trial of James Mcdonald that he had
the secret of the murder locked in his
breast, was appointed a deputy prose-
cutor to assist in the investigation.
There is general desire on the part
Of Bedford citizens that the editors
and publishers of the Brazil Democrat
be summoned to appear before the
jury and give information which they
appear to have in their possession.
The Democrat recently published an
editorial bearing on the Schafer case
that is considered of more than ordi-
nary significance It intimated that
Miss Eva Love, a roommate Of Miss
Schafer, delivered a sealed letter to
Miss Schafer on the eve of Miss Loves
departure for Seymour, two days be-
fore the tragedy, with instructions that
it "be opened only in case something
happened to the writer"
The officials are determined to give
the author OF the editorial in the Bra
zil paper opportunity to place all the
facts he knows before the grand jury.

it was slightly lower than the sea-
sonal average.
Rain fell Thursday and again Sun.
day, the effects were generally bene-
fetal In some localities in the north
ern section, however, where the ground
was already moist from previous
rains, corn planting was stopped.
It is estimated that three-fourths OF
the corn crop has been planted. The
early planted is coming up, and in a
few places in the south section first
the failure of seed to terminate and
the ravages of cut worms are causing
much replanting.
The condition of wheat improved
but the acreage has been considerably
reduced and the prospects indicate an
average yield of not more than half
| crop from the present acreage.
Oats, young clover timothy and pas
lures are late, but healthy and grow
ing. Old clover does not promise
much hay.
All kinds of fruit except peaches and
cherries promise good crops.
Tobacco plants are ready to set out
but the acreage will be small. Toma
toes are being transplanted
A Jasper county correspondent re
ports an onion acreage reduced and
the acreage of cucumbers for picking
increased. Potatoes, melons and other
minor crops are doing well.

Wall Street In Control Aoain.

Bryan has steadfastly opposed the
domination of the Democratic party
by the Wall street clique. He is not
now advocating the nomination of any
particular candidate for president, but
most Of his followers are supporting
w. r. Hearst. 1t is not hard to see
that Bryan and his crowd are going
to lose out, and that the ST. Louis
convention will nominate some one
entirely satisfactory to the Wall street
politicians who were in control when
Cleveland was president. The contest
from now on will not be between Bry-
an, and the sO-called reOrganizers, for
Bryan, it seems, is already defeated
The contest will be between the Tam
many and the anti-Tammany Demo
Gratis Of New York If the anti-Tam-
many crowd wins Parker is the man
picked at this time If the Tammany
crowd wins Mcclellan it is believed
will be the man. In any event Wall
street will resume control OF the Dem
ocratic party and again direct its pol
icies.-Seymour Republican.

and was regared as one of the most
progressive superintendent in the
state. He was Deputy State Super
intendent for six years, four years I'M
der David NJ. Geoting and two under
Frank l.. Jones. He gave up this Office
to do some work which he had long
contemplated. He entered Butler col
lege and took his bachelors degree.
Then he went at once to the Univer-
sity Of Chicago and took his masters
degree. During these years he placed
special stress upon educational prob
lens, and his wide experience in
school work made this study very
profitable. AS result h- came to the
Office in March, 1893, admirably
equipped to direct the educational
work of the state. He set for himself
a high standard of excellence and
mapped out the work he hoped to &C
complish. Mindful of the great ad-
vance that had been made by his pre-
decessOrs, he proposed to do his work
so well that at the end of his term
he would leave the educational affairs
of Indiana not only as good as he
made good what he proposed to do
He is interested in every phase of
education. He proposes that every
boy and girl in the state shall have a
chance at education and that city,
town and country children shall have
equal opportunity. He proposes that
the profession of teaching shall be put
upon higher plane. He has done
everything possible to have the state
creditably represented at the ST. Louis
fair, and it is believed that visitors
will find a splendid exhibit
Mr.. Cotton is a man of tireless en-
ergy and has led strenuous life dur
ing his present term. He knows the
needs of the state and he knows how
to do things. With all this the best
thing that can be said of Mr.. Cotton
is that he is genuine. Those who
know him recognize in him man to
whom educational interests in Indiana
can safely be trusted
