H. HELLER. Manager. The New York address of Governor Marshall seems to have struck a most I popular chord everywhere and the I

flattering press notices and ediorials | given him by the great newspapers of' the east as well as the west, signify i that his utterances find a ready re-1 sponse with the people. Governor! Marshall takes us back to the good old Democracy when the individual i rights of man was a sacred tenet of [ the party. In recent years people ir-! respective of party have thought of! attaining great things in a commercial way. giving little heed to the manner or method of such attainment. We have lived fast and just that fast have qaickly but surely drifted into , a commercialised nation. Governor Marshall hikes us back to the good old days when the government meant for us a government of liberty loving j people, and when individual rights ( counted for something, even in the ] mad rush for the almighty dollar. It is high time to harken back, and es- ' pecially is this true of those who ’ claim allegiance with and support the principles of Democracy. ,

CAUSE IS HEARD Rev. Wilcox Gave His Testimony in Divorce Case this Afternoon NOT SENSATIONAL 11 Court Signified That Decree Will Be Granted When Alimony is Arranged The cause of Rev. Charles B. Wilcox vs. Elsie D. Wilcox, asking for a divorce, was heard before Judge Merryman at two o’clock this afternoon. The case required but a few minutes, during which Rev. Wilcox told his story in a very simple manner. Mrs. Wilcox did not appear and there was nothing in the least sensational about the affair. Statutorv : cause for a divorce was given and the i court announced that he would grant • the decree, but took the matter under advisement for a few days until evidence had been given him that the alimony had been satisfactorily arranged. This it 1s said is but a matter of form, the financial pan having been agreed v to by the parties interested. Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox were married at Richmond September 23. 1898. and lived together until last November, though they had been separated for short periods on two former occasions. At present Dr. Wilcox is in , the newspaper business at St. Louis. Michigan, and Mrs. Wilcox is living with a brother at Richmond. o RAISES A LAW POINT. ABeged Murderer Seeks Release Under State Law. Logansport. Ind.. April 14. —Attorneys representing Robert E. Cotterman. who is to be arraigned Monday the charge of murdering James Brown, of Galveston. March 11. 1908. filed a petition today asking for Cotterman’s release on technical grounds. It is the first time in the history of the Cass circuit court that the release of a prisoner has been asked on such grounds, but the petition is based on ■ a section of the laws of Indiana which provides that if a man under indic - ment has not been put on trial with- ■ in the period of three court terms

from the time of indictment by the grand jury he must be discharged. Cotterman. who has been out on $lO.000 bond since June 11. 1908. has never asked for a continuance. Three terms of court have*passed since he was indicted last May and no effort has been made by the s ate to bring him to trial Attorney Jenkins, for Cotterman. says his delay has not been cs.uaed by failure on the part of the | state to secure witnesses and evidence. He will insist that Cotterman 'be discharged.

FOR OLDWABASH Prof. Shirley is Here Boosting for New Students MAY SECURE THEM Probability That Four Seniors May Go There Next Fall

Prof. Shirley, field manager for the Wabash college at Crawfordsville, has been in the city several days visiting t,he public schools. He is making an effort to interest the young men of this locality in his college and is from what we understand, meeting with splendid success. There is a very strong possibility that the four young men who will graduate from the Decatur high schools this year will next fall become students at Wabash. They are Ben Beavers. Tracy Nelson. Hugh Perkins and Otis Dibble. Should these young men search the universe from one end to the other, they could select no better place for a four year's training. It is a high class college and many of the leading men of this and other states were graduates of the famous old college. Prof. Robert Shrock of this place, now of Cornell university, where he is an instructor. is a graduate of Wabash. Mr. Shirley is a very pleasant gentleman and has made many friends during his visit here. TREES GIVEN AWAY.
