FRIDAT, NOVEMBER 11. 18S7 Eutered at the postuffice at Rensselaer, lad. as second-class matter.)

The result of the elections of Tuesday, considered as a wkole, is much in the natur- of a drawn battle, etc. —Republican. Whenever the Republican concedes that extent, you can safely bet y ;ur bottom dollar it is badly left

THE ELECTIONS.

In New York the result is disheartening—the Democrats have carried their State ticket.—lndianapolis Journal,Republican State organ. The Democratic States have given in?reased majorities; while the Republican States—with the single exception of Ohio—give considerably reduced majorities. Ihe result in A irginia insures a Democratic U. 8. Senator in place of Riddieberger, and will give control of that body to the Democracy.

Democratic comptroller and sheriff elected in Philadelphia, and the Republican majority in Penn, sylvania greatly reduced. Give us a few more such “drawn battles.” ‘

Of the Chicago anarchists, Ling committed suicide, the sentence of Fielder and Schwab was commuted to imprisonment for life, and today Ficher, Engle, Spies and Parsons paid the extreme penalty on the gallows.

The recent elections, we think, knocks Blaine out of tho presidentiaal possibilities r.nd the chances of Ben Harrison and Bob Linco’n will not even be considered

SENATOR DAVE TURPIE.

A correspondent of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, writes: “I am told by prominent Indianians that the new senator, David Turpie, will be the Ingalls of the democretic side of the senate chamber, and that he may take the laurels of sarcasm fr m the sha»ptcnjued Kansan. “Dave Turpie,” said one of the gentleman, “will be one of the strongest men in the senate, and he will be the ablost speaker on the democratic side of the chamber. He is one of the best read men in the UnPed States, and he possesses a curious|combination of diffidence and cheek. He is at home no place bu* while upon his feet speaking and he does not impress strangers as being a great man. He is backward and modest in private life, and does not indulge to any extent in convivia] society. He makes friends slowl v. but he sticks to his friends to the last, and fights for them. He hates his enemies, too, and he believes, I think, in t e philosophy of revenge. He is a great reader, and is a fine classical scholar. He can speak French, German and Italian, and he has bl eh a good accent in each of these that he is often mistaken ps a foreigner. I don’t thinh he has never traveled to any extent abroad, and he has acquired his culture by private study. He is s widower, but he will not cut any figure in Washington society. He will not be seen much about the hotels, and he will spend most ol his time at home and in the senate. . He isveiy plain in his dress and in his manners, and he cares little for ~ltyie. He is a giant, however on the stump.”

NOT GUILTY.

[From page I—Continued.]

You ean’t prove it’ nor whether I charged him with drawing a knife; went out door twice; he took knife from right pants pocket; wasn’t afraid of knife but of outrage I asked Harding to take man away, they talked and paid >o attention; did not ask again because I was afraid of the knife in plain sight, he said he would strike; was afraid of outrag when outside; made no outcry; shot to ’'revent rape and using the knife; didn’t shoot at any body; didn’t think of effect, but shot expecting to hit but not to kill, pulled trigger purposely, cocked pistol just before’shooting, laid it back on safe; T shot to def nd myself.’

W. B. Austin—Examined black and blue spots on deft’s after shooting; thinks they corresponded with a man’s knuckles, etc. A. O. Yeoman, deputy sheriff — Thinks she told of bruises that night or next morning; can’t say how made unless by a person’s knucxle’s.

Jerry Hess and Steph. J. Miller also testified to seeing bruises. Mrs. Shead —Knows Rhoades, he came to her house a little after shoot ng; thought he acted like a man drunk trying to appear sote.r; smelled his breath, think it was Doot whiskey; thought he took it cool; he came after a light. Bertie Morris —In company with other young ladies met Rhoades and Steele going to oil w r ell; they did not stagger in walking; think .hey were intoxicated. Wm. Pierce —Saw Rhoades and dec’d in Carew’s saloon; thinks Rhoades was pretty drunk; tho’t Steele wa in about same condition. W. W. AVatson—Sa v Rhoades 10 minutes atter shooting; thought h j was under influence of liquor. Rebutting-Mrs. Steele: Husband was right handed man, etc. Father of dec’d also testified he was right handed. E. E Quivey, den ist — On objection evidence ruled out. Earl Reynolds—General reputation of deft in neighborhood where she lives for morality, is bad. Crjss-exarrination showed witness to be 18 years old and son of an ex-saloon-keeper. Allen Catt, carpenter and contractor -Not acquainted with general reputation of def’t.

J. W. A-uvall, resident of Rensselaer for 31 yrs; J, R. Vanatta, harness maker, Rensselaer, 7 yrs; G. B. Steward, ins. ag’t, all testified that they knew deft’s reputation for morality was bad. Cross examination developed the fact that thes Q witnesses had all heard and believed the false tory that d?f’t had on e kept house of ill-fame in Monon; that they all didbusiness in same building; that their belief in bad repute was based on what people about town said of her. John Halliday, Fair Oaks, section foreman, night-watch in Rensselaer 18 months; deft’s reputation for peace and quiet bad. (Question as to knowing of men congregating at deft’s house ruled out.) Witness had drank glass of beer an hour before testifying. Defense, sub-rebuttal—Geo. J. Dexter: Lives now on Judge Hammond s farm, near Rensselaer Jived across street from def’t for a year, her general reputation for morality is good; never saw men about her house. Mrs. Dexter also said general reputation was good. Had heard that def’t shot at a man at Fair time. Mrs. Jas. W. McEwen—Lived next door to def’t nearly 2 years; general reputation good; never saw men go there at night; based her opinion as to general reputation by w at she knew of def’t, not what people said Had heard rumors but always tooK deit’s part. Knew that def’t had shot at a man when riving near witness’ house; def’t told that a man came at night and wanted in and that she shot through the window; def’t had been advised to slxot by a lawyer. Mrs. W. C. Shead —Lived near def’t since last winter; general reputation was good ;b ad never talKed with any one about def’is moral character, and Knowledge of def’ts general reputation was based on what witness Knew herself. Was not governed what people say. James W. McEwen, editor anc publisher—For 1| yrs near neighbor of deft. Her general reputation Witness had . heard' rumors, an : ?/:vea observa-

Hod todeft’ngeneral condwctrwit-’ nose thought he could judge as to a house of ill-rupute; took no stock in rumors. Def’t was recalled and testified that she had nev»r lived in Monon. John Ball, of Monon —Said he had resided here for thirty years; defendant was not the woman that had kept the house of ill repute. Prosecution eonceded|(he point. After arguwedt by counsel, and instructions from the Court, the jary retired, and in a very few minute > returned a verdict of ‘not guilty.’ At the suggestion of one of her counsel, Mrs. Ruthfurd, as a free woman, accompanied by deputy sheriff Yeoman and wife, and three or four ladies, old neighbors who sympathised with her in her misfortune, she returned to the jail intending to remain till next day, bat the anxiety of her brother-in-law to start for his home in Ohio, and the objection of Mrs. Sheriff Yeoman to her remaining as a guest, she consented to depart the sa«ae eveningT* There was no necessity, we think, for proceeding to Pleasant Ridge. Our neighbor refe Ting to her departure, says: “Whatever be her guilt or innocence and whatever be her character as a woman, it certainly is better for tnis community to have her out of it for all time.” — This is certainly a most unjust and unmanly expression. Steele was lhe aggressor and suffere'’ the penalty; and a Jasper county jury has said to our women: “You are not requir d to tamely submit to the violence and indignities heaped upon this woman; you may resist it, to the death if necessary and go free.” Our neighbor liad better reversed his sentiment, and applied it to the man in the case. Since the trial Steele’s hat was found in the water barrel close to the door, which goes to show that he had not started to go away wlun shot.

Many of the whisky bottles referred to by the Republican had belong’d to parties who had thrown them away about the oil well, after draining them of their contents, and collected by the little girl, who expressed to the neighbors her intention of disposing of ,hem and investing the pjoceeds in a pair of shoes.

Their Business Booming. Probably no on : thing has caused sdcb a general r vival of trade at F B. Meyer’s Drug Store a« their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. K ng’t New Discovery for Consumption. Tbeir trade is simply enormous in this very vnluaolo article from lhe sac that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Golds, Asthma Bronclrtis, Croup, aud all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. Y<-u cau test it buying l»y gelling atr al bottle freo, large size $1- Ev ry buttle warranted. 3 DENTISTRY!—AII those wishing their teeth put in order would do well to see Dr. Horton. He guarantees his work first class in every respect. Those having missfitting plates are especially invited to cali, as, by the use of the lately invented cohesion forms, any one can secure a perfect fitting plate. J. W. Horton.

The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Sult. Druggist, Bippus, Ind. testifies: ‘ I can recommend Ele trie Bitters as the very best remedy. Evety bottle sold eas given relief in eve j ry case. One man took s'x bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism ' f 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellevi le. Ohio, affirms: “The Lest sellinrr medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years’ experience, is Electiic Bitters." Thousands of others have add© I th-*ir testimony, so that the verdi-’t is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseasssef the Liver, Kidin vs or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at F B. Meyer’s Drug Store. ‘ 9. Mutton (.'hops.—Trim off all the skin and roll each chop in beaten egg, then hi cracker crumbs, and fry in lent lard. Cook until brown.
