WILL APPEAL Terrell Murder Case Goes to Supreme Court Transcript Will Cover 2000 Pages and Will Cost Over Six Hundred Dollars. John W. Terrell and his attorneys have at last decided positively that they will take an appeal from tne ruling of Judge John M. Smith of Portland, and that the famous ' murder trial shall be carried t« the i appellate court. That this decision has been definitely arrived at is certain from the fact that an order was given yesterday to Court Re i porter Homer Ormsby to prepare a

transcript of till evidence and pro- ' eeedings in the case. He will begin Ito work immediately and left last night for Chicago to look after e some business pertaining to the a case, so he stated to a rejiorter of ■ the News. Mr. Ormsby said that f it was doubtful if he would be able rI to get the records in the case I ready within the prescribed time allowed for an appeal, which will be sixty days after the ruling made by Judge Smith. The latter is ex- . pected here next Thursday to give his ruling but it is possible he may allow the defense, or rather the reporter, additional time,by withholding the ruling longer. Mr. Ormsby : will employ extra help. There will ibe about 2,000 pages of the transcript and if the reporter should I charge the regular price, 30 cents ]>er page it will cost Terrell <6OO for this transcript alone. The appeal of the case will no doubt cost him about 11000.—Bluffton News. — Hot claret at Burt House Case, ts Lost—Lady’s solid gold watch. ■ key wind.

CONSERVATIVE SENTIMENT TO DOMINATE

Indianapolis. Feb. 8 —The Hon. Thomas Taggart, national committeeman from this state, as a rule is adverse to talking much for publication in advance regarding Democratic polities. but he says openly now that the outlook in Indiana is for a careful, conservative platform with live issues. He believes that Indiana will select delegates to the national convention who will have the courage and the wisdom to see that a platform is adopt- ’ ed that is in harmony with the coni--1 niercial interests as well as those repI resented by the plain people. In other words Taggart does not think there i should be any further attempt to array ’ the masses against the classes. It is understood that arrangements have

I practically been made for the seleci tion of the Democratic delegates. I Only men who are known to be opj posed to a reaffirmation of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms are to be considered. This is not because of bitter feeling toward either of these plat-1 | forms, but because the leaders of the, | party do not believe it would be wise ; to reaffirm them because of their de-1 monsi rated unpopularity and the fact | that there are newer and better issues. I Some interesting political gossip ■ comes from the Twelfth congressional j district. The Democrats will not oppose the renomination of Congressman! Robinson. He seems to have secured. a very firm hold since he successfully i overrode the precedent against giving! any man more than two terms, and he! now seems very firmly intrenched.! I There will be an unexpected fight ' I among the Republicans who feel there! I is now a chance of carrying the dls-i I tries. When Lieutenant Governor Gilbert withdraw from the race for gov-! ernor and became a candidate for congress It was thought that he would, have easy sailing In the Twelfth, but. now comes the rumor that he will have a hard time to defeat C. C. c,Ubams, who made the race laat year against Robinson Gllhsms has a host of friends, and he has his heart set on ma k lug another race. Well in

i» lU ieu politicians say that Gilbert has the fight of his life on hand and that the chances are more favorable to the nomination of Gilliams Neither of the two old parties are going to have anything to brag of in the harmony line in this county, and I this county is of utmost importance to both, as it is s pivotal point for the state ticket. The Democrats have rei organized and Taggart men are in control. but the charge is made that snap judgment was taken on the party.' The Keach-Holtzman crowd is undoubtedly mart and will not enter the campaign with the enthusiasm that characterized its efforts in the municipal campaign. As for the Republicans they hate « biller fight on tor control

of the county organization. The old Rookwalter forces are determined to elect the chairman and other officers, while the big wing known as the “antis" Is just as determined that the old I ring shall be knocked out. It is not I evident as yet which has the whip ! hand, but the leaders who arc not in- , volved in the scrap are afraid that it I will hurt the ticket whichever side wins. Considerable partisan feeling is al- ! ready developing among party leaders ! who are figuring on who will succeed I Senator Fairbanks if he should be I elected vice president, and It Is now I pretty generally conceded that he will I be nominated. The followers of Gov- [ ernor Durbin that is, the men who are said to compose his 'machine"— feel that Senator Fairbanks should i throw his influence to hint, yet they are almost convinced that the Fairj banks organization is determined to elect Congressman Hemenway to the senate If there is a chance. If there is a vacancy In the senate It Is almost 1 certain it will not be filled without a bitter and prolonged fight. The contest. however, is not Hable to be limited to Durbin and Hemenway, as , tbare will no doubt be two or three ' other vary active candidates.

The Cal] takes a deep in- 1 terest in this wedding from the' fact that both bride and groom are : employed on the paper. That they’ I may go hand in hand through a ■ long and prosperus life find that the rough places will lx? few and far between, is the heartfelt wish,' of the Call, and may’ the bride in | surrendering the “stick’’ to take; up’he broom and rolling pin ever I remember that such implements have their legitimate uses and only I in extreme cases are they to be used in subduing an unruly spouse. The Call extends congratulations and wishes the young couple a happy honeymoon. HAS RESIGNED W. E. Hale Goes to Michigan to Accept New Job. W. E.
