Former Rensselaer Young Man Married in Fresno, California.

From the Fresno, Cal., Morning Republican, the following article about the marriage of the son of Isaac’ Porter, formerly of Rensselaer, is taken: Jegse W. Porter and Miss Mary E. Miller were united in marriage at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage :n Reedley yesterday afternoon. Mr. Porter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac W. Porter, residing east of Reedley, and the bride’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Louis Miller, also of the Smith mountain community. Benjamin Miller, brother of the bride, acted as best man. Maybelle Porter, a sister of the groom, was bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Porter will reside on the Wilson ranch, five miles east of Reedley, where Mr. Porter is manager. Rev. H. H. Hocker, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, performed the ceremony.

When the Donkey Brays We’ll Have Rain—Allegorical.

Andrew Carnegie thinks the fear of war is more destructive than war itself, and, no doubt, the distrust of people causes more harm than is done by all the real criminals. Optimism is the oil on the machinery of progress and is as necessary to human development as sunshine to plant growth. The wails of the pessimist, should they be valued according to the motive of mind from which they eminate, should not paralize the energies of the optimist, for the pessimist, like the donkey, had much rather bray than work; while the optimist, like the bee, works with the knowledge that success is accumulative and the outcome of labor is happiness and plenty.

Home Grocery Branching Ont; Purchases Wiseman Store at Aix.

Walter R; Lee and Frank Rowen. proprietors of the Home Grocery of this city, have purchased the James Wiseman store at Aix, including the store building and residence and an acre and a half of ground. They will stock the store up, run it on a progressive policy and expect to keep it abreast of the Rensselaer stores in both selling and buying prices. A capable man will be placed in charge and the store is now in charge of its new owners. The weatherman keeps up his frost prognostications and has another slated for tonight. The fruit is probably not seriously injured so far, although there was four degrees of freezing last night. Louis Lehman was over from Francesville today. Nothing new over there, except this is electichi day on the saloon question. Wheat between here and there looks good. Farming is very 'backward and no corn has been planted yet. Mr. Lehman’s son lives on his Hanging Grove township farm. Fred S. Miers, formerly a resident of Walker township, and who is still a taxpayer in Jasper county, owning a small tract at Kniman, will jread The Republican for awhile.

Poole was a native of Maryland, according to the Benton Review. When he came west he located at Kentland and at once engaged in the nursery soliciting business. He later made Goodland his headquarters and then moved to the farm near Swanington.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1911.

POOLE DISMISSED HIS ATTORNEYS—DON’T NEED ANY.

Philosophically Says That If He is Going to Hang There is No Sense In Hiring Lawyep. Fowler, Ind., May 4.—John W. Poole, charged with the murder of Joseph Kemper, wis arraigned lodr-y and entered a plea of not guilty to a warrant charging him with murder in the first degree. “I am not guilty of killing him intentionally,” said Poole. Judge Stevenson remanded him to jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury which will be impaneled to return an indictment and the trial will follow at the June term of the Benton circuit court. The preliminary hearing was held in the parlor of the sheriff’s residence, as Sheriff Shackleton feared to take Poole to the court house on account of the immense crowd which had gathered to listen to the evidence at coroner’s inquest. Mrs. Poole and her daughters sat beside the accused at the preliminary examination dnd wept bitterly. Poole was not represented by counsel at the hearing. One of the startling developments of the day was the withdrawal of Poole’s lawyers from the Their action is said to be due to two reasons. Poole and his family are said to be convinced that he will pay the penalty of his crime on the scaffold, Poole philosophically remarking that if he must hang there is no use dispossessing the estate by the employment of lawyers. His attorneys also favored basing the defense 4 on the plea bf Ifisanity. To this Poole objected. He insists that the killing of Kemper was purely accidental, and that he is perfectly willing to go on the stand and explain every circumstance and abide by the judgment of the jury. He says hiß conscience is clear in spite of the damaging fact of his ghoul-like disposal of the body, and that his actions following the accident were the result of unreasoning fear.

Poole wanted to make a statement, but State’s Attorney Hall told him anything he might say would be used against him, and that he had better refrain from talking until he had obtained the advice of counsel. Fully 1,000 persons packed the courtroom today where the coroner was conducting an inquest to determine the causes that led to the death of Joseph Kemper. Poole was not present. The investigation was conducted by Coroner Arthur LeSage and a number of witnesses were examined, among them being Mrs. Poole and her daughter Grace. Grace Poole was first called to the stand and to most of the questions she replied “I don’t know,” or “I don’t remember.” She admitted having seen blood spots in the dining room following the disappearance of Kemper. Other points in her testimony corroborated the story of Emory Poole, although it was evident that the girl was doing her best to shield her father. Mrs. Poole also endeavored to protect her husband at every point possible, but admitted that there were numerous blood spots in the dining room. She was inclined to attribute their presence to the fact that some of the meat was brought into this room when they butchered the day following Kemper’s disappearance. Mrs. Poole and two children, Grace and Emory, were each placed under bonds of SI,OOO to insure their appearance at court when the case comes to trial. Following the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, Coroner LeSage, Sheriff Shackleton and five auto loads of citizens repaired to the Poole farm, where further search was made of the premises, but, when darkness put an end to the work no further evidence could be found.

$500 FOR CROW BOUNTY; OTHER APPROPRIATIONS.

Former Vice President Fairbanks To Erect Fine Residence.

The contract for the erection of Charles W. Fairbanks’ new home in Indianapolis at the southwest corner of Meridian and Thirtieth street, has been awarded to the Bedford Ston? and Construction company. Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks hope to occupy the home next spring. The site comprises more than an acre of ground and, rising from Meridian street, the center forms a knoll high above the street level. Mr. Fair banks purchased the site last fall from the Indiana National Bank. Hugh H. Hanna was a former owner of the property. The material to be used in the construction of the exterior will be dark red paving brick and the trimmings will be of Bedford stone. The house will be two stories high. The main entrance will be from Meridian street and another entrance has been arranged on the Thirtieth street side. Halls extending from each entrance will meet. A wing on the west will contain the kitchen and servants’ quarters. • To the right of the main entrance will be the library, and across the haL will be the living room. There will be two porches on the south side of the house. Entrance to one of the porches will be from the living room. In the rear of the living room will be the morning and dining rooms. Opening from the morning room probably will be a court, although this has not been decided. Six sleeping rooms are provided on the second floor and a den or living room probably will be arranged. Oak. Circassian walnut and birch probably will be used in finishing the interior.

Gollmar Brothers’ Circus Parade Reveals Character of Show.

The Gollmar Brothers’ show, which exhibits in Rensselaer, Saturday, May 13, features everything connected with it, from the street parade to the concert. The press of other cities have made only the most favorable- comment for Gollmar Brothers’ parade. Even when the show visits territory where it has never been, its magnificent street pageant so agreeably surprises the public that they are sure to crowd the immense tents. It is in the parade that the management of a circus can show to good advantage the stability and character of the aggregation. If it is a cheap concern, giving only ordinary performances, its parade will tell the tale. If it is really meritorious the street display will demonstrate the fact. The splendid equipment of the great Gollmar Brothers’ Circus is shown to excellent advantage in the big parade, and it is always complimented. The horses are in fine trim, and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages, and chariots are resplendently decorated with costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An unusually large number of dens are open in the parade, and the general public is given a free exhibition of a flue array of wild animals. All in all, it is pronounced by many, the finest and best circus display ever seen upon any streets. But it is in the circus performance that the show excels. The parade of the Gollmar Brothers’ show will start from the lot at 10 o’clock sharp, and traverse the principal streets.

KANKAKEE DITCH CASE AT ADJOURNED SESSION.

George Marvin, of Monticello, Will Sit as Special Judge and Hear Marble Ditch Remonstrances. An appeal having been taken from Judge Hanley by remonstrators to th; Maible ditch report, the names of Emery Sellers, William Uhl and George Marvin, all Monticello attorneys, were submitted by the court, and Marvin agreed upon. He will be here tomorrow to start the case, and it will be adjourned about as soon as started and will continue over until the summer, probably the latter part of June or the first of July, when the attorneys are usually not very busy and won’t have anything else on their minds. It will probably require three weeks or more to get in all the evidence if all those who have signed continue the fight and will bring a lot of lawyers as well as witnesses to Rensselaer. The lower Iroquois ditch, which is known as the Borntrager ditch, will not get a lookin at this session of the court and will, therefore, go over to the September term. Judge Wason who has been hearing that case thus far, will probably be sworn off and another special judge employed.

Helen Mar Compares Ade With Thackery and Dickens.

Is it possible that articles such as written by George Ade for The National Monthly entitled “In Our Town” will leave more than an ephemeral impression? Towns of the present day still have their Uriah Heeps and Becky Sharps. A writer so clever as Ade ought to write a play dealing with near-poli-ticians, egotists, etc., with the central characters a Becky Sharp or an Uriah Heep. What possibilities for the portrayal of the undercurrent as an effec • tive working agency for schemes. The play should contain the moral tha: the unexpected always happens. What, too, could be funnier than Baron Hines getting the wrong governor on the telephone? HELEN MAR.
