A DANCING TEACHER.
Attacks Shelbyville Society
Leader with Wrench.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, April miss
Genevieve Parker, pretty dancing
teacher of this city, was arrested yes
terday afternoon charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill Mrs.
Helen Elliott, wife of J. Walter Elliott,
a wealthy resident of this city, the
warrant being issued following indict-
ment by the grand jury, which had
been investigating the case for week.
Miss Parker had been called as a
witness, but refused to testify, and
was excused by the Court She was re-
leased on bond of $1,000 furnished this
evening by her uncle, William S. Ma
jor, and her aunt, Miss Loretta Cory
Her family are among the wealthiest
and most prominent residents of the
city
The attack on Mrs. Elliott took place
at her home the night of February Is.
A yelled woman gained admission to
the house on the explanation that she
had basket of apples for Mrs. Elliott
from friend. AS Mrs. Elliott reached
for the basket the woman struck her
with monkey wrench, but failed to
knock her down, and fled as Mrs. Ell
liotts screams brought aid. Matches
and gasoline found in the basket indi-
Gated that the women intended to fire
the house.
1t was said Mrs. Elliott recognized
her assailant, and the name of Miss
Parker was connected with the attack.
THE only assignable motive" said
Mrs. Elliott at the time, lis jealousy,
as Miss Parker and Mr.. Elliott were
sweethearts before his marriage to
me-"
Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott are in Califor-
mia for her health. a. she suffered ner-
vous prostration following the sensa-
tional attack and Is still In a serious
condition. They did not seek the arrest
of Miss Parker, and the investigation
is said to have been forced by w. A.

Elliotts were occupying.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

1T will be great shock to the
town." said citizen interested in the
latter's landscape aspects, when the
row of trees lining the Reeves estate
is cut down.
These trees" he continued, form a
larger part of the beauty of the place
than you might think.
There are not nearly as many trees
as there seem to be on account of the
heavy foliage of this row. When they
are cut down the public will have a
chance to see what a crime has been
committed"
1t is said that the residents and pro-
perty owners who protested against
this action have been assured that it
made no difference what they wanted
cut down.
This is the edict of the board of
public works.
The latter stated that as the trees
were soft naples they would die in
the course of time anyway so that they
might as well be demolished now.
This irresistible logic of this pro
nounciamento is only equaled by it's
beauty.
It's simple.
Cut down the trees because they
will die anyway-sometime.
Very much like a man might be &C
quilted by jury of his peers for com
hitting a murder-"your honor We
find this man not guilty. The victim
would die sometime anyway and the
fact of his having been shot down by
the defendant before his demise had
been accomplished by Nature does not
constitute, in our minds, a crime
against the state"
1t is said that if the trees are allow
ed to stand they will hit the middle of
the sidewalk.
A sidewalk constructed on uni
form" lines.
well, what of it,"
Go into some cities-not many in
America to be sure but still an isolat-
ed instance now and then, among
them Indianapolis-and you will find
trees standing in the center of side
walk with the cement walk built round
it, and plenty of room between the
edge of the tree and the beginning of
the walk which surrounds it.
There is no reason-with all the
room, in the world-wny this should
not be done with this row of trees.
If the people who have bought lots
along this line of the addition want
the trees, they should have them.
They will live there later on and
be directly affected either by the pres
ence or absence of the former.
If this was congested district with
land selling at several thousand dol
lars foot there might seem some rea-
son for the hewing down of these
trees.
But when it's practically in the coun-
try it seems preposterous and incredi-
BILE that these decorative adjuncts-
which it will take a half century to du-
plicate if they can ever be duplicated
should not be retained.
There is no reason, either theoreti-
cal or practical, for the demolition of
these trees.
They should be preserved at all
costs.
to be constructed on straight line
or of the same width.
If these trees should, in the process
of making the street uniform with the
block above, be found in the center of
the sidewalk, the walk, as just stated,
can be built round them.

THERE is A CAUSE

Few things in the business
world just happen.
Almost every condition seen is
not merely a coincidence.
Business conditions both in a
general way and as applied to in
dividuals is with rare exception
q RESULT.
We see the EFFECT, but often
the cause is not so easily recog-
nized.
A merchant with little bust
ness, if that depression cover any
considerable period, should not
complain of the unsatisfactory
effort he is experiencing. but
should set about to locate the
cause.
While there is without question
rare cases where a man or a
business by a chain of strange,
nearly unexplainable circum-
stances falls short of the goal, if
the world knew all, usually there
is a cause, which he himself may
have not and NAV never
discover.
There is one thought that
should spur business men on
ward when the future may look
black. 1t is this truth, that
once heard and which has come
to me many times during my
business life. There is no bust
ness so poor, that if rightly
managed can not succeed: and
there is no business so good that
if poorly managed will not fail.
The man of ordinary business
ability can build a great success
from what may seem a dismal
failure and bad management
applied to any line of business in
time will wreck it.
Thousands upon thousands of
cases are of record where bank
ers with every opportunity for
success have failed, and of rec
ord are equally as many cases of |
the porters who cleaned the
banks having become immensely
wealthy.

cases are not mere accidents but .
