A ROCKY CASE.

Dirty Linen From Waveland Aired In the Clri^ilt Court Last Friday.

Friday in the circuit court was tried the case against James W. Hibbs, of Waveland, charged with having stolen a lot of chickens and potatoes. For the most part the witnesses had not been chosen from the select social circles of Waveland, and they made a pretty shaggy appearance The chief of the prosecuting witnesses was the sister of the defendant, a Mrs. Zachary, and she was impeached by her husband The evidence for the state was not strong but the defense did not dare to let the defendant testify on account of his previous bad record. Accordingly introduce evidence to witnesses for the state. Frank Ruffner, the "natural born fool," rather rubbed it in on the defendant by declaring when

asked as to Mrs. Zachary's reputation for truth and varacity,thathe "wouldn't believe her any sooner than he would believe Hibbs." Practically all the witnesses were impeached by one side or the other and a rather scaly and seamy side of life was displayed. After Mr. Dwiggins had closed for the defense Hibbs tried to address the jury but was squelched. The jury returned a verdict of guilty at two o'clock and Hibbs will be sent to Michigan City.

Admitted to the Bar.

Will Whiteford passed a highly creditable examination before the examining committee from the Montgomery county bar and was admitted to practice.

A WOMAN in Idaho got a divorce from her husband because he would not take her to the Paris exposition. He testified in court that he was afraid of water and that he was afraid to get into a bath tub even, he got so seasick. That man has indigestion just as a good many others we know and should take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Get it at Nye & Booe, druggists.

BOB NOAKES.

It May Be Proved That lie Committed Suicide In Illinois.

Bob Noakes, the star witness for the state in the Goebel murder case in Kentucky, may be shown to be a suicide.

Noakes, at the trials of Powers and Howard, perjured himself in order to obtain a part of the $100,000 reward, and shortly after the trials came here to visit the family of James Blankenship. He did not stay long but went to Linden, where for awhile he worked in the cellulose factory under the name of Robert Maclamore. From Linden he wrote to the attorneys of Powers ottering to sign an affidavit that he had perjured himself if they would meet him at the Crawford house on a certain Sunday. They came here and waited for him all day, but Noakes came not, they later ascertaining that he had

SIDE ELEVATION.

THE JOURNAL gives herewith the two principal elevations of the new !JL |jj City Hospital. The style is old colonial with a gambrel roof and dormers. A spacious classic porch adorns the south front On the second floor a large bay forms the south front of the sun room and from this bay is a glass door out on to the roof of the porch there is also a wide porch in the rear. It will be seen that the comfort of convalescents has been well looked after. Hospital patients are to be brought around to the east side and taken in through the side hall under cover of a marquise on that side, and in case the patient must at once be taken to the operating room the place of entrance is at the rear corner porch, on east side, directly to the $ cot elevator which lands the patient on the attic floor near the operating room. This elevator shaft opens into the hallway of each floor. Prof. M.

B. Thomas, on the part of the committee, and W. F. Sharpe, architect of $ the building, have taken considerable pains and spent much time in arranging and re-arranging the interior, and it will be submitted finally to the leading surgeons and physicians of our city.

gone to Danville, 111., the night before. B'rom there they received another letter and also answered this in person. At Danville Noakes really met them and signed a statement that he had perjured himself at the request of the notorious Tom Campbell, the prosecuting attorney, and had received several hundred dollars from him for so doing. This was in December and a few days after signing the statement Noakes disappeared. No one has seen or heard from him since, and his trunk is still in the possession of the Blankenship family in this city.

A few days ago the dead body of a man was found in a wild spot some miles from Danville and there is considerable reason for believing it to be that of Noakes. The buzzards had torn the flesh but the size of the man, his hair, teeth and clothes all indicate that the missing man, Noakes, died there by firing a pistol ball through his brain. A revolver was found by the side of the body and the farmer for whom Noakes worked stated that Noakes had one like it. Noakes' cousin, W. H. Delaney, of Muncie, is in Danville to-day examining the body to identify it.

When Noakes finally made his statement in Danville he was on the verge of collapse from his grief and remorse, and those who then saw him were in

clined to believe that he would kill himself. James Blankenship Monday said to THE JOURNAL: "Noakes is really not a relative of my family, but has a marriage connection. He was with us a great deal when a lad, and when he got in trouble ho came to us. I should not be surprised at all if the dead body is shown to be his. He was on the verge of collapse when here and was wild with fear and nervousness. When he disappeared I settled it in my own mind that he hud done away with kimself."

GUMPTION.

NE does not have gumption till one has been properly cheated." Persons of gumption arc. using Ivory Soap, women who have trusted themselves too near the precipice of false economy and who can now appreciate the true economy in a soap made of pure vegetable oils and other high class ingredients, but made in such quantity as to bring the price within the reach of the very poorest family. Indeed it is the very poor who most need it, for they can least afford the extravagance of common soap.

A Popular Pastor.

Rev. A. G. Yount, late of this place, has just dedicated a handsome Methodist church at Winamac' The Demo-crat-Journal of that place, in its account of the dedicatory exercises, says: "Rav. Parr invited the trustees of the church forward and with impressive ceremony completed the dedication and formally turned ohe building over to the board. The speaker eulogized the pastor, Rev. A. G. Yount, for the noble work he had so successfully accomplished. At this the congregation manifested its approval of the compliment by a demonstration that must have been pleasing to the recelpient. Dr. Beck's timely suggestion that the ladies, including the pastor's most excellent wife, should also be remembered, gave the speaker his cue to follow with a feeling tribute to the fair ones, always the 'better-half' of life."

Believes In Co-Education.

Samuel Doggy, of the class of '50, Wabash college, in writing to a local alumnus, saying that he took pleasure in voting for JS. H. Wolcott, the coeducation candidate for trustee, says: "Why Wabash should hesitate to fall into line for co-education I can't imagine. Men and women were made to live together and no sufficient reason can be given why they may not bo educated together."

Change of Venue Taken.

Last Saturday in the circuit court two changes of venue were granted from the county. The case of L. V. Alexander vs. T. H. Anderson was sent to Parke county, and the case of N. C. Turnipseed et al vs. A. W. Pursee et al was teat to Clinton county.
