La Porte, Ind, May 9.-Convincing
evidence that the body Of the woman
found in the ruins OF the Guinness
farm house is not that of Mrs. Buelah
Guinness was pronounced today by
Dr. Harry II. Long of La Porte, who
made a scientific examination Of the
charred body.
He AYERS that his examination
proves that the body is not that OF
the supposed murderess. Long de-
clares that he knew Mrs. Guinness
well and is convinced that she is still
alive.
II is believed that the body found
was substituted and the fire started
in order to throw off suspicion.
AS result OF Longs discovery the
police have wired descriptions Of Mrs.
Guinness all over the country.
One of the principal reasons of Dr.
Longs belief that the body of the
woman found in the ruins Of the
Guinness home is not Mrs. Guinness
Is the fact that the finger nails Of the
dead woman were manlcured. DR..
Long is positive that Mrs, Guinness
was never seen inside of a manicur-
ing establishment.
Mrs. Guinness weighed about 225
while the body OF the woman found
could not have weighed over 100.

Evidence of AccomplIce.

Evidence has been discovered
which indicates chat Mrs. Guinness
had an accomplice in Aberdeen. South
Dakota, for the purpose of misleading
the relatives of her alleged victims as
to their whereabouts.
An instance Is given in the case OF
Bert Chase who lived as Mishawaka,
Ind Chase told his brother he was
going to visit widow near La Porte.
That was the last seen 'of him.
The next they heard was a tele-
gram from Aberdeen. S. D., stating
that Bert Chase had been killed in a
railroad accident. Investigation at
Aberdeen by the brother OF Chase re-
vealed the fact that the message was
fictitious.
Aslie Helglline, brother of Andrew,
whose body was found in a sack in
the murder graveyard" today re-
ceived more letters which passed be-
tween Mrs. Guinness and Andrew He
began writing to Mrs. Guinness in
August, 1906.

Governor Chamberlain was greet
ed by a packed house at the Oregon
theater today, though but little notice
of the meeting had been given.
For his address the governor was'
introduced by Will NJ. Peterson, dem-
ocratic county chairman, and he
launched at once into his subject,
though his voice was hoarse from the
strenuous campaigning he has been
carrying on for the past week.
In his opening remarks Governor
Chamberlain declared that the eyes
of the United States are upon thS
present election in Oregon, not be-
cause a democrat was running for
United States senator, but because the
ability of the people to assert them
selves is at issue.

He also declared that since the

A RELATED CORRECTION
Official Reports State We'll Known
 Veteran, Now a Citizen of Mena, Was Killed in 1863.

General K. G. Shaver, one of the most noted of Confederate veterans in Arkansas, now a prominent citizen of Mcna and one of the best preserved and most active of men for his age, stepped from his law office at the court house into County Clerk Martin's s office the other day and demanded of "Nick" that he send for the coroner at once, saying "I want to know whether I am dead or alive"
 When an explanation of the unusual request was given It developed that the general had been reading in one of the gov- ernmeut reports of the "War of the Rebllion." In both part one and part two, Volume 34 ot series No. 1, the killing of Colonel Shaver at Batesville is reported.
 Part 1, Vol. 34 contains the re port of Captain w. T. Leeper of the Federal forces as follows;
 "Captaiu Johns has returned all safe. He has marched near 300 miles, been all over Cherokee bay The captain and the swamp scouts found no forces only Reeves and twenty men. He killed four of Reeves men and chased Reeves for miles, and ran him into the river. Captain Johns learned that fight had taken place at Batesville, rebels commanded by Colonel Shaver, and that they were badly whipped and Colonel Shaver killed"
 General Shaver is at loss to account for this report, but wish es it corrected as he took part Tn many exciting incidents of the war after tbat date, has been spared to more than 40 years ol peaceful life thereafter, and to- day he is known as one of the lliveliest old Confederate veterans in the county.

 Mack's Request.

Chicago, Aug. 9<-Norman 10. Mack. chairman of the Democratic national committee, was notified Friday night that no reduced railroad rates will be put into effect for the Bryan notifica- ton meeting at Lincoln, Neb., on Au- gust 12. The communication came from Eben Mcleod. chairman of the Western Passenger association and was in reply to letter sent to that official by Mir. Mack earlier in the day and calling attention to the fact that reduced fares had been granted on the occasion of the Taft celebra- ton in Cincinnati, whereas no con sessions had been made for the Dem ocratic gathering. The correspon- dence was interspersed by several telephonic conversations between Messrs. Mack and Mcleod, the latter explaining the action of the railroads by referring to the fact that no re- duced rates had been put into effect for any events in Nebraska since the passage of the two-cent fare law in that state. He also emphasized the fact that the reduced rates to Cin~ cinnati were offered by the Central Passenger association.
