HINSHAW IS UP. Wife Murderer Asking Pardon from State Board. (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Greatest interest in the quarterly meetings of the state board of pardons which opened today centered in the consideration of the application of the Rev. William E. Hinshaw, serving a life sentence for murdering his wife. Hinshaw, a circuit rider of the Methodist Episcopal church, was conducting a revival at Cherry Grove in January, 1895. His wife aided him in their work. Each night they returned to their home at Belleville. One night Mrs. Hinshaw was shot to death in bed and Hinshaw himself was wounded with knife thrusts and gun shots. Although the preacher declared burglars entered the house and attacked his wife and himself, the jury found Honshaw guilty of murder. Ten years later Hinshaw was paroled by Governor W. T. Durbin. The man returned to his mother’s home, but he came in contact with a woman he had known in his youth, now married. Soon stories of their indiscretion were heard and Gov. J. Frank Hanly was called on to revoke the parole. Edward J. Fogarty, warden of Michigan City prison, is one of the firm believers in Hinshaw’s innocence and if the man is freed it will be because of Fogarty’s faith in him. The warden has appealed to the pardon board many timeS in behalf of Hinshaw. The convict is ill and Fogarty believes that if he could be freed, he might recover. Among the other cases under consideration is that of Charles McGalliard, who shot Alta Haworth at a public dance in Muncie. The girl went to the dance with another man and McGalliard had been drinking. o Mrs. Charles Voglewede went to Fort Wayne this afternoon. Mrs. James Elberson, of Bryant, changed cars here enroute to Fort Wayne. Mrs. Will Worden returned to the hospital in Fort Wayne today for treatment after a short visit at her home here. Mr. Worden went to Ft. Wayne this afternoon. Sim Haines got the middle finger of his right hand caught in a sausage grinder. 'Utting off the end of the linger. He is disabled but the wound is healing nicely. —o Be sure to see the Geneva Adapto Tractor demonstration for Ford cars at the county farm, Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 9 to 10 a. nt. —Durkin.

Kgji Tell thenTto tVW v ahead J You might as well have the use of that building you are planning —there is nothing to be gained by waiting. There is no prospect of prices going down for some time after the war is over. Go ahead and let your contracts. When it comes to the roof you can make a real saving, and get a better roof by specifying Certain-teed Roofing CERTAIN-TEED is not cheaper because the quality is lower, but because it is a less expensive roofing to manufacture. It is better, not only because it is cheaper, but also because it is light weight, weather-tight, clean, sanitary, fire-retardant and costs practically nothing to maintain. It is now recognized as the preferable type of roofing for office buildings, factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, garages, farm buildings etc., where durability is necessary. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5,10 or 15 years,according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). There are many roll roofings on the market, but only one CERTAIN-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more to lay a CERTAIN-TEED roof than it does to lay a poor roof, but there is a vast difference in the wear. You can’t tell the quality of a roofing by looks or feel. Your only safety is the label. Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED — then you are certain of quality and guaranteed satisfaction. Certain-teed Slate-Surfaced Asphalt Shingles are supplanting wood and date shingles for residences. Tliey cost less are just as good looking, wear better, won’t fall off, buckle or split. They are fire-retardant, and do not have to be painted or stained. Certain-teed Paints and Varnishes A are *l’ e b cst quality paint materials, I]•*■ ground and mixed with mechanical ac- _ ksLcWSIS curacy. Made for all uses and in all -!t “ colors.
