Terrell, to be decided, whch was filed Idst week when the Marion judge was in this city. It is thought that the Marion judge will be here tomorrow Or Thursday night, however. If the motion of the defense should be overruled then it is probable that the Judge will be asked to permit Terrell to go free on bond. This would mean an indefinite freedom, as he would never be brought to trial while insane.—Bluffton Banner. —o SMASHES ALL RECORDS , As an all-round laxative tonic ana health-builder no other pills can compare with Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

WITH ANN ARBOR Decatur Schools Now Affiliated With the University of Michigan FOR THREE YEARS Commission Shows High Standing of Schools— Chicago is Next The Decatur high school is now affiliated with the University of Michigan. Supt. Beachler received notice Tuesday from President Angell that graduates from our city schools will be admitted to the Michigan university without any examination. This relation between our high school and the university is approved for the years 1909, 1910 and 1911. The prestige given our schools is the outcome of an examination made by the inspector of schools, Dr. King, who visited the work here about four months ago. The school authorities should feel elated over this recognition, especially so, since only a few schools outside of the state of Michigan 'receive such recognition. Most are put on trial for one year. It is to be hoped that our schools may soon be allied with the University of Chicago. This would pave the way for admission into the eastern colleges and universities. Let us keep the good cause moving upward and make our schools the pride and ambition of every citizen of Decatur and community. MARRIED AT CLERK'S OFFICE Judge J. T.
