AMERICAN HUSBAND A SLAVE.
A Mere Money Maker and Washer Of

French model is the one shown here

mounted over very soft silk yelled
with chiffon. The coat Is short

white silk tassels.
The coat Is worn over q graceful

used to duplicate this very smart
model.

The reporter mounted the steps at
the home of DR.. Clarence P. Colburn,
10 South Eighth street, this morning,
and, despite the fact that he read
notice on the door setting forth that
the doctor had left town Saturday,
October 10, would be absent several
days, rang the door bell. In a few
minutes the door opened and the
newspaper man was confronted by
Miss Jane v. Colburn, the doctors s
sister and his housekeeper.
Can you give me any information
concerning the marriage of your broth
err" politely asked the visitor.
Married" gaspsd the astonished
woman, her eyes opening wide. She
then stepped back and stared at the
visitor increduously. A clipping from
the West Baden News was then read
to Miss Colburn. 1t is as follows:
DIR. C. p Colburn and wife, Rich
mond, Ind, are registered at the West
Baden Springs hotel on their honey
moon trip, having been united in mar
riage at Orleans, Ind, on Saturday,
Oct. 10, 1908. Their marriage is some

to be hept a secret for time from
their friends, but Cupid, that artful
little dodger, revealed the secret. The

TO APPEAR HERE HOWEVER.
MEN ACCOMPANYING THE TAFT
SPECIAL WILL DO THE SPEAK
ING FOR THE CANDIDATE
SPEAKS ONLY AT NIGHT.

Announcement was made at Indian
apolis today that Judge William III.
Taft, Republican nominee for the pres
idency, will not speak in Richmond,
Saturday morning. The candidate had
been scheduled to deliver an address
here at $50 o'clock a. m. at Tenth and
North e streets. The news comes
today from thu spealsel's bureaus in In
dianapolis, that Nj Taft's throat has
dresses he will make will be at night
and indoors. The special train bearing
the candidate will pass through the
city, however, and it is expected he
will make his appearance on the plat
form of his car, and nod his acknowl-
receive. Others accompanying Taft
will speak, however.
Extensive preparations has been
made for the reception of the candi-
date. 1t has been arranged for a stand
to be erected. A reception committee
composed of w. d. Foulke, e. M. Haas,
Lewis Bowman, John Mccarthy, Henry
Mason, DR.. T. H. Davis and John l..
Rupe will go to Greenfield and join the
Taft party and accompany it to this
city.
A large amount of advertising mat
ter had been obtained by the county
central committee and portion of it
was sent out today for display about
the county. The expense incurred in
this way was considerable. Circum-
stances have been such as to intervene
and there appears to be no remedy.

KELLER FACES
DEATH SENTENCE
Man Whom He Shot Dies in
Reid Memorial Hospital
Of Injuries.
GRAND JURY is WORKING.
SECOND INDICTMENT CHARGING
KELLER WITH THE PREMEoi-
TATED MURDER OF THORNTON
WILL BE RETURNED.

After a gradual sinking spell yes
terday afternoon, William Thornton,
colored, died at the Reid Memorial
o'clock. Death resulted from wounds
inflicted by revolver shots discharged
by Sherman Keller negro. The two
men engaged in a controversy on FIT.
Wayne avenue last Saturday night
and Keller short with mortal effect.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of Thornton this morning. The
physicians worked for several hours
but were unable TO locate the bullets.
Coroner Markley VIII return a verdict
to the effect Thornton came to his
death from peritonitis of the bowels
induced by gun shot wounds. The cor
oner said he does not know whether
or not he will name Keller as inflict-
ing the wounds.
Keller is being held at the county
Jail. Yesterday afternoon the grand
jury returned an indictment charging
him with assault and battery with In
tent to commit murder The Jury
took up the case again today and will
return second indictment charging
Keller with premeditated murder,
which constitutes the first degree in
this state. Upon conviction Keller will
be sentenced to the penitentiary for
life or to death. The former verdict
is the most probable. Keller has ad.
mitted firing the shots at Thornton,
but claims it was done in self de.
fense.
Thornton's wife who was arrested
and held as an accomplice has been
exonerated by the grand jury. No
charge was placed against her and she
was restored to her liberty. Regard
less of the action of the grand jury
the police hold to the opinion the wom
an was connected with the affair in
some manner. Keller was known to
have kept company with her and accu
sations of improper intimacy were
made.
Unless unexpected circumstances
arise, it is not expected Keller's case
will be set for trial before the latter
part of next month.

WEDNESDAY
IS TAG DAY

Tomorrow will be Tag Day, the
object of which is to raise funds
for the Reid Memorial hospital,
and if any citizen fails to get
"held up on the streets for the
price of tag, which is any amount
he can afford to give, he is expect
ed to visit one of the numerous tag
booths and purchase one. 1t will
not be difficult to find these
booths because one is located in
every prominent business house of
the city. They will be especially
numerous in the Main street busi-
ness district.
The money spent for these tags
will be well spent. The entire
amount raised by the sale of tags
will be used for the benefit and
comfort of the deserving sick poor
who are sent to the hospital for
treatment. Quite a large amount
of money was raised last year from
the sale of tags and the womens
aid society of the hospital hopes to
double that amount tomorrow.
