revive the club met with the hearty
approval of all present and willing
ness was expressed that they would do
all in their power to make tho club the

Five Cents and Three Cents.

The Wabash Stock Farm company,
one of Solomon Godman's famous
credit-making concerns, which went
to the wall in 1903 with over 100000
liabilities and nominally 100000 as
sets, will pay a fraction less than 5
cents on the dollar Godman's Wa
bash Bridge Company, with 100000
indebtedness, and his stock farm COM
pany were practically conducted on
the credit basis, and the Endorsement
of the latter for the bridge company
wrecked it. Trustee Stewart says the
first and final distribution will be
March Is. The bridge company will
be settled up about the same time
and will pay cents on the dollar.
Walter S. Bend, receiver of the
Star Manufacturing company, which
failed last year, closed his trust. The
debts were $4,000. Preferred claims
aggregating $4,000 have been paid in
full, while $4,000 unsecured claims re-
ceive 25 cents on the dollar.

Such was the verdict brought into
court at o'clock this morning in

the murder Of Armiter Northrup OF
Benton Harbor and after eight hours

penalty The fate OF Donahue was
placed in the hands of the jury at
6 o'clock last evening. At no time
was there any question in the minds
of the jury as to the guilt of the de-
PENDANT, but the twelve men wanted
to weigh the evidence carefully and
they went over all the points in the
case as adduced both by the state and

Being Tried for Murder Committed %
Years Ago.

Columbus, Ind, Feb. 27.-Owing to
the many cases that were on the dock
ct for the February term, the Brown
county court was in session until II
o'clock at Nashville Thursday night.
The case, an unusual one, is of the
state against Edwin Hardin, who is
charged with having murdered vii
liam Kelley twenty-five years ago.
Kelley was walking in his melon
patch, where he had gone to see who
was stealing the fruit, when he was
shot.
AT the time Hardin and son Edwin
were arrested and charged with the
crime The elder Hardin was tried.
and as no evidence could be secured
against him he was acquitted, and the
case against his son, who was then a
lad, was dismissed.
Nothing more was thought of the
case until three months ago, after
twenty-five years, Edwin Hardin was
arrested on a Grand Jury indictment,
it having been said that he boosted
of having known who killed Kelley
He was arrested and his trial began
last week.
Another strange feature of the case
is that while he is in the hands of the
law, he leaves the little log jail when
he pleases and spends his Sundays at
home with his family, four miles from
Nashville.

Coed Advice.

THE prime thing that every man
who takes an interest in politics
should remember that he should act
and not merely criticise the action
OF others. 1t is not the man who sits
up by his fireside reading the evening
paper and saying how bad our politics
and politicians are, who will ever do
anything to save us; it is the man
who goes out in the rough hurly
hurley of the caucus, the primary,
and the political meeting, and there
faces his fellows on equal terms, un-
deferred by the blood and sweat. y

Representative Frederick Lands is

his efforts to raise money to defray
the expense of fourth trial for Caleb
Powers, now in a Kentucky peniten-

Lands is of the firm belief that
Powers is innocent, having arrived at
that conclusion after thorough in
vestigation. He may appear as one
of the attorneys for the defense of
the Kentuckian in the event that he
is given another trial The only per-
sons who are asked to contribute to
the fund are the members of the In
diana delegation in congress. Many
members of the delegation are of the
opinion that Powers will be cleared.
