Gillespie Set Free.

James Gillespie, who was fonud
guilty of numbering his sister, Eliza
beth, at Rising Sun, and who since
that time has been confined in the In
diana state prison, was released from
custody by an order from the supreme
court Thursday without bail and it is
an order that no further prosecution
of him shall follow
Gillespie is discharged on the
ground that at the mistrial in Switzer-
land county he was placed in jeopardy
once, and that he could not be Sc.
placed a second time, whicl was in
reality done and which second trial
resulted in>sending him to state pris-
on for life
The release has created a sensation
The Gillespie murder reused the
whole state at the time it was COM
mitted. Elizabeth was shot down in
her own home and suspicion. at Ris-
ing Sun was at once attached to her
brother, Jim, with whom she had not
been on speaking terms for years.

Chicago College for Old People.

The large stock of college enthusi-
asm which centers in Chicago will be
increased by the voices of 100 gay,
frolicsome, blithe, eager freshmen, be.
tween the ages of fifty and seventy,
who will matriculate at the Home
College. Thirty-sixth street and Ellis
Park, May 2. With those who will be
granted advanced standing" in the
courses to be given, the total enroll
ment will be about 500. The students
are to pay for their scholarships on
the same basis as that which is used
in the general carrying of insurance
policies, and home for life with in
tellectual adjuncts is to be given in
exchange
The college is to be primarily for
those who have dropped because of
age or inclination the ministry, ped
agogy or any other occupation and
who wish to have a course of cultur-
al sprouts" to aid in the making of
a fitting entrance into the next world.
The proposition is made attractive
to the 500 initial students by the en-
umeration of the things which the
college is not. According to the pros
pectus, these qualities are:
1T is not an old peoples home"
"If ,c IL
"The members are students, not
inmates
The positive features are:
A scholarship entities the holder
to board, room and tuition, with all
the college privileges, free lectures
and such studies as he may desire to
pursue till the end of his, or her nat
ural life. with medical care when sick
and funeral expenses at death. In
this way the aged but intellectual are
offered the life mental and the death
ornate. Sundry life insurance COM
panies are to carry the annuity poll
cies, according to the statement made
by Manager Hamilton White.
The boards of regents is to be Sc
lected from the various religious So
cities which may affiliate with the
college. The courses to be given are
grouped under the following heads:
Classic, scientific, biblical and post
graduate.
The institution will be run by the
Home College Association and eco
eds" of fifty years or over will also
be allowed.
What we may lack in levity will
be made UP in dignity" said Hamil-
ton White, who is seventy-two and
the prime mover in the novel college
scheme. Men and women who have
never gone to college and who were
thrown on their own resources early
in life will be given a chance to take
the courses offered without having 20

who have had great educational ad-
vantages."

What is a Democrat?

With crushing scorn the Albany
Argus informs the country that the
World. ''has not had Democratic
thought or drawn a Democfatic
bzeath or experienced a Democratic
instinct or sentiment in more than a
decade. If this charge be true, the
World must be almost as un-Demo-
cratic as the Democratic party itself.
But what is Democrat in tins par
ticular year of the Lord? If Mr.. Bry-
an is Democrat, what is Mr. Cleve-
land? If Mr.. Cleveland a Demo-
crat, what is Mr.. Hearst? If Mr..
Hearst is Democrat, what is Judge
Parker? If Judge Parker is Demo-
crat what are Murphy, Corners and
McCarren? If they are Democrats,
what is Woodrow Wilson? If he is
Democrat, what is Tom Taggart? If
Taggart is Democrat, what are Dan
iel and Rayner and Culberson and
Morgan and John Sharp Williams!
And if they are Democrats, what are
Ryan ard Belmont?
All Of these distinguishe persons
profess to be Democrats. Presumab-
ly they all think they have Democrat
ic thoughts and draw Democratic
breaths and experience Democratic
instincts. Would the Albany Argus
agree to frame a Democratic plat
form which would combine all their
political principals, beliefs and prac-
tices?-New York World

NO. q
Gillespie's Release.

The murder OF Elizabeth Giles lie
at Rising Sun, Ind, over three years
ago was an event that attrac-,d the
attention of the entire State and the
proceeding of the long-drawn-out
trial of her brother, charged with
commission of the deed, were follow
ed with the deepest interest. The
woman and her family were old resi-
dents of the community, and with the
exception of this brother who was
something OF a black sheep, we've
highly respected Even he had his
friends, however and though senti-
ment was generally against him
others held that he was mot guilty.
The evidence was who'll circum-
stantial and pointed strongly enough
to him to convince the jury, yet no
sufficient motive FOR so atrocious a
deed was presented and it seemed to
those who followed the stestimon-
that the mans rather unsavory record
was a. stronger element against him
in the minds of the people and pre-
sumably of the jury than the facts
related by the witnesses. However,
the verdict gave general satisfaction
and the affair has been so completely
forgotten that few persons remem-
bered or knew that an appeal was
pending in the State Supreme Court
The courts decision does not
touch the question of guilt or inno-
cence, but releases Gillespie on the
ground that the verdict was illegal
because, being second jury and the
first unnecessarily discharged, ne was
twice placed in jeopardy thing
forbidden by constitutional provision.
The first jury was discharged on the
objection raised by the prosecutor
that the mother Of one of its MEM
bers was cousin to the deceased
husband of Mrs. Stewart, sister of
the defendant Proof was brought
that the cousinship was SO remote
that the juror never considered that
there was a relationship, but the OBJ
lection was nevertheless sustained.
The Supreme Court now rules that
such relationship as may have existe.
between Mrs. Seward and the jurs
terminated or the death of Mrs. Sc
ards husband. This terminate,
would take place inferentially had the
relationship been closer-had he jur-
or and Seward been brothers, for ex-
ample This ruling throws an inter-
esting light on relationships by. mar
rage 1t seems to follow that death
ends all'' so far as they are concern
ed. That is when a mans wife dies
his mother-in-law ceases to be his
mother-in-law and in fact all his en-
laws" cease to be so far as he is con-
cerned. If this law only held good
in England it might solve the de-
ceased wife's sister problem, for with
the wife once gone no legal relation
ship would exist and consequently no
barrier to marriage. Under the cir
cumstances, however, the best the de-
ceased wife's sisters can do is TO

Quick Publication of New Laws.

Mr.. w. B. Burford, State printer,
has gone ahead of all previous rec
ords in the rapidity with which he
has published the laws enacted by
the late General Assembly. The
closed on the 11th OF
March and on the 9th he made the
first delivery to the Secretary OF
State of the laws complete, making
printed volume OF 500 pages, bound
and indexed. Only those who know
something about the intricacies OF
book making, and the many difficult
things connected Herewith, can form
any idea of what this marvellous
achievement in this particular line
of the printing industry means Only
think of it. Sixteen days after the
close of the session the entire laws,
making a volume of 500 pages, was
printed, bound, and laid on the table
of the Secretary of state, complete
and perfect in all its details. The
copies of the laws for Marshall coun-
ty were received here twenty-three
DAYS after the session closed, and in
all the counties of the state were re.
ceived within thirty days from the
final adjournment Every day saved
in the early publication of the laws
means a saving to the people of the
state in the one item of the reduc-
ton of railroad fares of from $4,000
to $4,000 per day, and the interest
ON public funds of as much more.
Mr.. Burford has done good work
and should have due credit for doing
it faithfully and we'll.

Don't allow the foolish notion to
enter your mind that Hartman did
not want his letter about raisirg cam
paign funds to get out The very OPP
posite is true. And his purpose was
and is, not to divulge campaign sec
rets, but to discredit President Roose
welt. These railroad sharks under
stand full well that if they can sue
coed in divesting the president of pop
ular support, their victory is won.
That is what they are after just now.

High School Too Small.

The joint commissioned high school
at Rolling Prairie, serving three
townships, has been found inadequate
in extent of building to provide for all
the children asking admission. This
is one of the notable rural high
schools OF the state and is practically
a new building. The residents of the
three townships have decided to sup
port the county board of education in
plans for an enlargement of the build
ing.
