His Autobiography.

General Wallace is now busy writing his autobiography, and he is convinced that his work will be one of the most interesting of literary productions. He will not incorporate in the work a single speech or letter, but for all that the work will be voluminous. General Wallace has had a varied career. He was a prominent leader in the civil war, and was conspicuous in the days of reconstruction. Ho was on the commission that tried Lincoln's assassins, and also the chief of the court martial that tried the keepers of the Andersonville prison. He was some years in the diplomatic service, ard as minister to Turkey attained quite a unique distinction. He was governor of New Mexico in her wildest days, and had some interesting experiences with some of the roughest of the frontier characters. His literary life has brought him many experiences worth the chronicling. He states that in his work he will deal particularly with the famous men and women he ha6 met.

DEATH OF W. E. ARTHUR.

llrilliiint Young: Attorney DI«h Very Suddenly In California Last Week.

Last Wednesday afternoon B. Ornbaun received a telegram from his daughter, Mrs. W. E. Arthur, of Pasadena, Cal., announcing that her husband had suffered a paralytic Btroke and was sinking rapidly. In the evening a second message arrived stating that Mr. Arthur had died at 3 o'clock, was buried there by the side of child who died several year6 ago. is not unlikely that Mrs. Arthur, her little daughter and her sister Mi6s Clara will return to this city for at least a temporary residence. W. E Arthur was about thirty-four yearB of age and was one of the most brilliant and promising young attorneys on the slope. He was a prominent man in the Republican party in California and is thought that the arduous work of the recent campaign had much to do with his death. He was stricken a week before his demise as the relatives here learn from a letter received Wednesday, and he never regained consciousness. Mr. Arthur came to Crawfordsville in 1882 as a student of

They would have tackled the front door but that was more firmly secured When they finally broke in they went up in front and broke open Signor Burrows' desk with the happy abandon of fellows splitting up wood with which to combat the winter'a cold In the desk they found 830 in cash and a revolver. This property they confiscated as a slight reward for the work they went to in breaking open the door. Then they drank to the health and continued fortunes of the good proprietor, utilizing for thiB purpose the entire, ulbeit somewhat limited, stock of that worthy's fifteen cent whisky. Friday morning the police were informed of the burglary and the day men are asking the night men where they were when the carnival at Burrows' was in progress.

Mustered Out.

The members of the Twenty-Beventh Indiana Battery lined up at the armory at. l:30o'clock last Friday afternoon, and at 6 o'clock the last man had been mustered out. Major Tucker, who paid the money yet due the company, remarked that he had never seen a finer body of men in his life. Everything was in excellent condition, and the health of the 173 members was almost perfect, Harry Pattison, Harry Alfrey, Bob Youngman and George Hays, of this city, were members of this battery.

Death of a Child.

The sad intelligence has been received in this city of the death of the ten months' old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. B. Keegan at Muncie. The death occurred Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, from membraneous croup. Interment occurred at Muncie Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. E. W.

hoped to accomplish two objects—one judge to charge what was the law. A is to give as much employment to men as is possible, and also to keep down as much poor expense as possible. This will be an experiment and it is hoped the people will aid the trustee in the matter. There is also a great demand for wraps for boys and girlB, and such garments if given to the Woman's Union or the trustee will save much expense during the coming winter.

Where the Colonel Stands.

Indianapolis Nows: The announcement that John C. Wingate has espoused the cause of Albert J. Beveridge is a matter of interest in the senatorial fight—not that Wingate has any more influence than dozens of other men, but because practical politicians are announcing themselves for the Indianapolis man. At first the candidacy of Beveridge was looked on by many in jest.

XtoliInHon-Courtney.

Harry S. Robinson and Carrie O. Courtney were married last Thursday at 8 o'clock by Rev. W. H. Kerr at the home of the bride's father, Wm. Courtney,of Kentucky avenue. The wedding

Hecured His Discharge.

Word haB been received from W. Schlemmer at Savannah, Ga., that has secured an honorable discharge from the United States signal corps. He has not been in good health since enlisting in the service.

PART SECOND

PLAY ON THEIR EMOTIONS.

Will IT. Thompson Gives a Method For the Successful Handling of JnrleH*

Will II. Thompson, as a successful lawyer, is well remembered here, and he is also well remembered as being a powerful advocate before a jury. Qe lectured at Portland, Oregon, the night on "Success at the Bar," and the Orcyonlan thus refers to his address: "Mr. Thompson spoke partly in defense of forensic emotion. Webster, Voorhees, Choate and other great lawyers who considered their services entirely at the diBposol of their clients, had resorted to it, and he did not consider it within his province to arraign it. He closely inquired into the great power to move courts and juries, seemingly possessed by some of his profession, and concluded that that power was in the ability to awaken feeling.

Logic was a commanding force, but cold logic played only upon the reason of the hearer. Something more moving than logic was needed to stir the hearts of a jury, and that something was emotionalism. It was possessed by Webster, by Ingersoll, by Ohoate. It Bhould be studied by young lawyers who wish to rise to eminence. Of course students should not depart from the study of law and become mere musicians, playing upon strained nerves, but it was necessary that they should study emotionalism. "The advantages of emotionalism were pointed out. The student of dry law might win his point with the court, but his adversary, the lawyer who studied his profession, would win with the jury. Webster had the power to move men, and so had many other great ornaments of the bar. The power was simply a cunning, an art in oratory. Daniel VoorheeB in his best days was, to the speaker's mind, the most magnetic man he had ever met, and ho referred to cases in which VoorheeB had shown the force of emotionalism. "Mr. Thompson said the precept had long since baen laid down that it was the duty of counsel to argue what seemed to be the law the duty of the

lawyer's services were purchased by his client, and he should give that client the benefit of all his legal knowledge and of all his forensic emotionalism. The greatest members of the profession had done so in the past, and are doing so to-day. Young attorneys who look to a bright future should do something more than study the cold letter of the law more than arm themselves with mere technical power. They should read literature and study everything. Victories had been won by the contrasting of the whipping of an offending woman in accordance with Montenegrin law, described by Taylor, and the unmerciful scoring of plaintiffs in breach of promise suits by defendants' lawyers. Hopeless murder cases had been won for the defendant by the simple playing upon a few words which would show insanity in the murderer when the crime was committed. Prosecuting attorneys had been downed by the opponents reaching the jury with an apt quotation, showing a similarity between the conditions of the prisoner at the bar and the hero of the quotations. In all these cases it waB necessary first to gain the entire attention of the jury, and that could be the more easily done by reading to them the quotation than by assailing them directly with an argument which they would be certain was intended to deceive them. "In the years to come, Mr. Thompson said, the Pacific coast would be a populous territory, probably more populous than the Atlantic coaBt. The young lawyer should educate himself for the future conditions. He should follow the path of Webster, ohoate and Ingersoll and ground himself in the law, and at the same time study his profession. But he should never lose his respect for the law. He should always be found in the few who huddle around their flag in emergency, and around the law when necessary. He has not the power to change that law one jot from its straight course, and he should never try to do so, but should rather try to aid it in its true, steady flow."

Turned Loose.

Wednesday of la3tweek Spot McGuffin, Dillard Davis, and Stub Gott, who

was a quiet one and the young people were charged with robbing the New Ross barber shop, were given a preliminary hearing. As there was no good case against them they were turned loose.
