VINCENNES MURDERER NOW BEING TRIED.
Theatrical Manager Who Murdered Man Because of Jealousy, Making Fight for Life.
A few weeks ago Menlo Moore, a theatrical manager with a pretty wife, became imbued jvith the idea that his Wife was not true to him, but 'was bestowing her favors during his absence from Vincennes, upon another man, one Charlps Edward Gibson, an oil operator. Moore got out his revolver, made sure it was working all right and put a few shots into Gibson’s carcass. They held Gibson’s funeral a day or two later. Moore is now being tried to see whether he did it or not.
The case is of sufficient notoriety to occupy the front pages of Indianapolis newspapers each day. And they have said that it resembles the Harry Thaw case, because Mrs. Moore is pretty and Gibson was a moneyed man with a clever wink and no conscience. Moore was a good provider and his wife took’advantage of this fact and kept herself neatly gowned and made herself just as pretty as modern methods make possible. They had a little son 4 years old. But home did not hold quite all the charms for her that it should, according to the rumors so rife in the papers, and when Gibson winked Mrs. Moore smiled and thereby hangs a little flirtation that ends up in a tragedy and a trial for the life of her disappointed husband. Moore is not the first man that ever used a pistol in a case of this kind. His act is a common one with which the world of popular society is familiar and the scandal is only a repetition of the brutality of that species of honorless men and brainless women who care nothing for the real happiness of themselves and What the future holds in store for them. Gibson knew Menlo Moore and presumed to be 'his friend, but he was less a man than a beast; an enemy and not a friend, and when Moore pulled the trigger of his pistol, he doubtless thought he was doing what he should do to put a dog out of its misery. We are wondering whether Moore is any more of a murderer than his wife. Had she maintained the queenly domination of her home that her marriage vows presumed, the man whom she had promised to love, honor and obey would not have resorted to murder to rid his heart of the burden which Charles Edward Gibson had hung on it.
It is probable that Mrs. Moore will go into the court and, on behalf of her husband, tell of her relations with Gibson. It would be small amends for the crimes charged to her, and yet it would be the action of a woman possessed of so little responsibility as to commit the sins with which she is charged.
Mrs. Moore appeared in the court room Wednesday and the fcorrespondent says that “diamonds sparkled through waves of fluffy brown hair combed down across the ears.” It is love for diamonds that sets many heads agog. The result of Menlo Moore’s trial will be watched with interest. It will be read by all who like scandal, and the deeper pretty, pin-headed Mrs. Moore goes into her statement of her relations with Gibson, the better the people will like the story.
Dairy School at Purdue University.
The dairy school at Purdue University opens its short courses January I€, 1911. Two separate short courses are given in dairying; an eight-weeks creamery course and an eight-weeks course in farm dairying. The creamery course is designed espec'slly for those wno expect to or are engaged in the manufacture of butter, cheese and other dairy products. It deals with ail the phases of work essential for the successful operation and management of creameries. The purpose of the farm dairy course is to acquaint the student with the knowledge of producing milk economically, milk that is clean and sanitary and of making dairy butter of the highest quality. This course covers instructions in all essential phases of dairy farming, from the construction of dairy barns to the marketing of the finished product. Our laboratories are equipped with new and most up-to-date machinery, and no effort has been spared to surround the student with facilities and opportunities for efficient and practical training. The demand in Indiana for trained dairy and creamery men by far exceeds the supply, offering unusual opportunities to those who are equipped with the dairy school training. For details write to O. F. Hunziker, Chief of Dairy Department, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana.

JOE LARSH RESIDENCE DISCOVERED ON FIRE.
Probably Caugbt From Electric Light Globe—Family Absent and SIOO or More Damage Results.
Trouble never comes single-handed is an old saying, and this seeps borne out by the fact that Joe Larsh and wife, who are in Chicago with their son Jack, who was run over last Saturday evening by an automobile, had the further misfortune to have their residence on Vanßensselaer street catch on fire Wednesday afternoon at about 4:45 o’clock. The call was sent in at jiist 4:50 and it was only a few moments until the fire company was on the scene and with chemical engines the fire was subdued. The damage to the house was probably not more than SSO and a like sum or more to the things in the house.
In the morning a servant in the house had completed some ironing and left the house, and no one was there when the fire started. An electric light globe was left resting against the clothes, which were suspended on a rack. When the lights came on in the evening the hot globe set fire to the clothing and the clothes were burned up and the house set on fire. The early discovery is all that prevented the destruction of the house and all the contents. As it was, the paint was blistered .almost all ovethe inside of the house, and the woodwork considerably burned in the kitchen, and the fire had started in the sitting room when the fire company arrived. Furniture and lace curtains vere considerably damaged. Had water been used to put out the fire the damage would have been materially greater, but by the use of the chemical engines there was not very much damage aside from that caused by the fire itself.
There was insurance, and probably the loss will be fully settled.
Shuberts Delighted Audience At Second Lecture Number.
The unfavorable weather was not sufficient to prevent a large attendance at the second lecture course number Wednesday evening and those in attendance were rewarded by a splendid program. The members of the Shubert company are Misses Mara W. Conover and Ella M. Clark, and Messrs. John G. Hedgcoxe and Glenn Wells. All are young people who have spent several years in musical and dramatic schools and they are individually very talented and seem fortunately assembled for entertainment purposes.
. Miss Conover is a dramatic reader of such pleasing style that every appearance was greeted with much applause. Grace attractive, voice superb and a winsome manner that make her rendition of new stories impart the most unique features in a manner that delights all. In a three-act monologue she was very clever, but probably her most appreciated number was that of “Mlle. Prudence,” in which Mr. Wells also played. The feminine part is French dialect, at which she was perfectly at home, and had this little sketch been the only number on the program, the audience would have been delighted. Miss Clark has a contralto voice and her songs were well received and especially her parts in the quartette singing. She was very clever in a little sketch entitled “The Husband’s Mistake,” with which the program concluded.
Mr. Hedgcoxe has a high, clear tenor voice and plays splendidly on the piano, sharing that part of the program with Mr. Wells, who also plays pleasingly. Mr. Wells excells as a dramatist, combining comedy, tragedy, light and heavy opera in a manner that shows marked versatility. As the mistaken husband he pleased and amused and as a consequence was liberally applauded. Taken all in all the Schuberts were one of the most appreciated of all entertainment companies ever sent to Rensselaer by a lyceum bureau.

Obituary of Titus Ellsworth Price.
Titus Ellsworth, son of William S. and Susan M. Price, was born at Solon, Ohio, September 18, 1861, and died at Rensselaer, Indiana, on November 27, 910, from nervous prostration brought on by overwork. At a very early age Mr. Price, with his parents, came from Ohio to where his boyhood days were passed. He received his education at Purdue University. In 1883 he removed to South Dakota, locating at Highmore, where he engaged in the practice of law, in partnership with his brother Charles H.
On February 5, 1888, he was mar** ried to Estella Mabel Anderson, of St. Lawrence, South Dakota. The following, taken from the South Dakota handbook, will be of interest to his friends:
Mr. Price was elected city treasurer of Highmore for three years, and county superintendent from 1887 to 1891. In 1891 he was elected state’s attorney, and in 1893 was elected a member of the state legislature. During this session of the legislature, Mr. Pi ice was one of the leaders, and from that time has been one of the best known legislators and lawyers in the state.
In-4894 Mr. Price removed to Yankton, South Dakota, where he engaged in the practice of his profession. Soon after removing to Yankton he became prominent in the politics of that section and in 1901 was again elected to the state legislature. In this session he served with conspicuous ability and was again returned in 1903. In 1905 he refused to become a candidate for re-election, but in the spring of 1906 'he was elected mayor of the city of Yankton. In 1907 his friends insisted upon his becoming a candidate again for the legislature and according to their demands his nomination followed, and he was elected in the tall of that year, receiving the largest vote of any candidate on the ticket. Mr. Price was a regular attendant and vestryman for several years of the Episcopalian church of Yankton. He was a charter member of the Elks lodge, serving as exalted ruler. He was a man of sterling habits, with a lovable disposition, and with the faculty of making and keeping
