date for Governor.
RECEIVING MANY LETTERS.

Indianapolis, Aug. 2-The fact that
Republican State Chairman James P
Goodrich. of Winchester has informed
some of his best friends that he has no
desire at this time TO seek the republi-
can gubernatorial nomination has
strengthened the belief. in the minds of
many. that he will be a candidate for
reelection as state chairman.
Among political leaders who have
played the game with Jim Goodrich
during the campaigns of 1902. 1904 and
1906, and have had opportunity to OBJ
serve at close range the skill with
which he directs his forces and the
ease with which he smooths out the
rough places. there appears to be aris-
ing an urgent demand that he serve an
other term
These demands are now taking shape
in letters that are pouring in on the
state chairman at his home in Win
chester Within the last week Mr.
Goodrich is said to- have received let
ters from leaders in every congression-
al district in the state volunteering
him support in the event he is can
didate for reelection and urging him
to make the race again.

SALOONS co FROM
RESIDENCE PARTS
Movement To This End Is Be-
coming General Over the
H0osier State.
COUNCILS HAVE POWER.
SON HAVE CAMPAIGNS ON AT
THIS TIME MANUFACTURERS
ARE CONTRIBUTING.

A movement to drive saloons from
the residence districts of various In
diana cities, promises to become gen.
eral within a short time. 1t is pro-
bable that efforts will be made to
obtain the passage of city ordinances
for that purpose rather than to depend
upon an enactment of the Legislature.
Prominent manufacturers in many
cities are said to be literally contrib
uting to a general anti-saloon cam
paign fund. Their principal object is
to get the saloons removed as far as
possible from their factories in hopes
of benefiting their employees. The
manufacturers have given the move
ment such impetus in Elwood and
other gas belt cities that it is liable
to succeed there regardless of any
opposition the brewery interests may
make. The ffctory district saloons of
Elwood are to be closed at the expira-
tion of their present licenses.
A campaign against the factory and
residence district saloons is now be-
ing started in Anderson. Muncie and
other large cities of the state. 1t is
the understanding that most of the
smaller brewing companies are in fa-
vor of confining the saloons to the
business districts.

Thursday Was the Busiest
Day at That Place in
Several Months.
THE REPORT FOR JULY.
1T is A SPLENDID START ON THE
NEW FISCAL YEAR AND THE TO-
tai PROMISES TO EXCEED
100000.

Thursday was the biggest day the To-
cal postoffice has had in several
months. Hundreds of pounds of first
class mail matter coming into and leav-
and carriers. The business at the fed
eral building has grown remarkably
fast in the past few weeks and the re-
ceipts for the month of July were just
81, 1851 larger than they were for the
same month in 1906. The receipts for
July were $6,OS7.2O, and S2.6343S of
this amount was sent to the sub-treas-
ury in Cincinnati.
If the business at the local office con-
tinues to grow as it has in the past few
weeks. it is ten-to-one shot that the
receipts for the present fiscal year,
which is yet young, will exceed sixty
thousand dollars, the goal worked for
last year. If this is the case the Rich
mond office will establish the reputa-
tion of being the largest office for a
city of Richmond's size, in the United
States.
People of Richmond are writing
more letters than they ever did before,
according to postoffice clerks, as the

MagiIIs Indicted in Report
Made by Special Grand
Jury at Clinton, Ill.
EXPECT A LEGAL BATTLE.
STATE PLANS TO PROSECUTE
RICH MAN CHARGED WITH KILL
ING WIFE TO WE'D GIRL-WILL
BE HARD FOUGHT.

Clinton, H., Aug. 2-True bills
charging murder were voted against
Frederick H. Magill and Fay Graham
Magiil, the former banker and his
girl bride, by the special grand jury
today. They are charged with caus-
ing the death of Pet Magill.
This blow to the defense in one of
the greatest murder mysteries in the
history of central Illinois was learned
shortly after the grand jury adjourn
ed at $3.50 o'clock Thursday.
A great legal battle will now be-
gin r. A. Lemon, attorney for the
Magills, will ask Judge Cochrane to
impanel a special jury to try the case.
If the attorneys fail in their attempt
to secure a special petit jury It is
believed they will ask that the case
be put on the docket for the present
term. But as Judge Cochrane is anx-
ious to adjourn this term as soon as
possible it is doubtful if he will con-
sent to hear the case at this term.
If he refuses the Magills will be COM
PEELED to remain in Jail until the No
vember term of court.
Believe Mother was Smothered.
While it is admitted that the evil
dence against the pair is not of the
character the state would like. it is
strong enough to indict them. From
an authoritative source it is learned
that the indictments were based on al
legged evidence that Pet Magill was
smothered to death.
Fred H. and Fay Graham Magill
were arrested at San Diego, Cal, July
IS, on warrants charging them with
causing the death of Magill's first
wife, Pet Magiil, who was found dead
in bed on the morning of May 81. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict of
suicide.
After the funeral Magill disposed
of his property in Clinton and, with
his daughter Margaret and Fay Gra-
ham went to Denver. Just five weeks
after the funeral he married Fay
Graham. When the news of the we'd
ding reached Clinton people demand
ed an investigation of the death of
Pet Magill. Warrants were then is
sued and the arrests of the pair fol-
lowed. Then followed the special
grand jury and the rumors of the in
Indictments.
