After that curious association of ideas some confusion seems inevitable, and it is a pity that Tolstoi is not alive to explain a few things to the inventor. The persons who were being taken to jail might very naturally preach the Golden Rule to their captors and also the law of nonresistance to evil. Mr. Edison’s plan seems to defeat itself and to leave him badly mixed. But we all believe in the Golden Rule and we should all practice it if it were not for the others. We cannot trust the others. They compel us to adopt David Harum's rule to do them and to do them first for self-protec-tion. —Chicago Record-Herald. FOUND —On Mercer avenue, a small black purse, with small amount of money.

GIBSON Husband Learned the Truth and Shot Down Her Millionaire Lover. (United Press Service.) Vincennes, Ind., Dec. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Pale and trembling, a woman, broken in spirit and distracted by sorrow, Mrs. Menna C. Moore, too* the witness stand today in the trial of her husband for the murder of Charles E. Gibson, millionaire oil operator, and sobbed out her story of her relations with the man her husband shot to death October 3, last. Her confession was as the public had outlined it and covered her confession to her husband, which is said to have been the cause of the tragedy. She told how she had first been lured to a barn by Gibson, who told her they would find her Husband there with another woman. There she claims he assaulted her. Mrs. Moore was un-l able to proceed with her story, shrinking from the curious crowd that jammed the court room. After the first meeting with Mrs. Moore, Gibson trail-' ed her day after day and finally during the summer while her husband; was out of the city, she received a note from Gibson, asking her to go with him to Cincinnati and threatening to tell her husband unless she went. She accompanied him and remained two days, and while there Gibson gave her a $225 diamond ring. Later she also went with him to St. Louis. She said Gibson sought her company day and night, and would slip notes into her hand in elevators, on cars and elsewhere. Through an anonymous letter her husband learned the story and when he accused her she confessed, and showed him the ring, which he grabbed and ran down Into the cellar and mashed it with a hammer. Mrs. Gibson broke down completely during the latter part of her story. .e ■ —- PUBLIC SALE. of live stock.

OBITUARY. Margaret Alice Bowman, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bowman, was born November 22, 1910, and died November 28th, aged 6 days. Short services were conducted by Rev. Jacob Heller and interment took place In the Pleasant Dale cemetery. We loved her, yes we loved her, But God’s angels loved her more; They have taken her to dwell with them, On yonder shining shore.
