NOT MUCH NEW IN THE POOLE TRIAL TUESDAY.

Defense Did Kot Shake Testimony of Emory in Cross-Examination— Other Witnesses Called. Emory Poole was on 'the witness stand again all Tuesday morning and part of the afternoon, but he stuck tightly to his first story under the fire of Mr. Barce’s cross-examination and his testimony was not materially weakened. Just before noon, the defense completed its cross-examina-tion and the state took the witness for re-direct examination. Shortly before noon all important was brought up when state sought''to introduce a letter which Poole wrote to his son after his arrest. The defense objected immediately to its introduction, for the reason that it was merely a note inclosed in a letter from Poole to his wife. The state was very anxious to get the letter into the evidence, so the court withheld his decision until Wednesday. William Poole, of Wabash, Indiana, a brother of John W. Poole, sat next to the defendant throughout the morning and afternoon sessions Tuesday. There is a striking resemblance between the brothers. Poole has lost the nervousness that he showed a week ago at the opening of the trial and now sits quietly at his table, sometimes showing interest in the proceedings and again half asleep. He is apparently oblivious of the curious glances of the crowds that swarm to the court room every session. The letter which the state tried to have admitted and which, Judge DeHart will rule on today, was enclosed in a letter from Poole to his wife, for Emory. It asks him not to testify against him, saying that it might result in the entire family being sent to the penitentiary. It also appeals to him that a boy’s duty is to stick by his father and asks Emory to remember that he had always protected him when in trouble. Francis Moyer testified to having been called to the Poole farm by Emory and of having to dig up the body of Kemper and of having gone to Fowler to get the sheriff. M. E. Garvin testified to practically the same stoiy. George Pfleeger testified to the’ same. Lom Rummell, • who with Pfleeger, is in the grain business at Swanington, was next called. He testified to -having a conversation with Poole after the latter’s first arrest in March. He said that it was on Eastex Sunday and that Poole drove to his i>lace and asked what people generally thought of his arrest. He also said that Poole told him that Kemper came back to* the farm on December 12, »■,. that he came Into the house and ted to settle for the wages due him. said that he got SBO for him at th# Swanington Grain company. Poole said that Kemper toll him he was going away on the after-' nocfti train. Mr. Rummel said that Poole had an account with the grain company at that time but that on December 12 he did not draw a check for SBO. The court adjourned at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday morning.

Turkey Shoot Next Tuesday Promises to be a Hummer.

The Thanksgiving turkey shoot to be held next Tuesday in Rensselaer promises to be a dandy. It is given under the auspices of the Rensselaer Gun Club, which should be a guarantee of its success. The shoot is being extensively advertised by H. J F. Parker, the secretary, and bjlls have been printed and postal cards sent out. The prizes, which consist of cows, turkeys, ducks, chickens and cash, total 1150. The events will be. arranged so that the good shots can not run away with all the prizes. Most of the events will- be handicaps, and G. H. McLain and Cleve Eger will arrange the basis of advantage. The match will doubtless be largely attended.

Lecture Course Announcement

Owing to the fact that the Methodist church has not been finished, the first number of the lecture course will be held in the Presbyterian church, next Monday night, November* 27th. The man selected to open the course is Ralph Parlette, the editor of Lyceumite and Talent In other places in this paper will be found clippings concerning Parlette’s work. The lecture will start promptly at 8.15. General admission 35 cents. Season tickets 11.50 for the entire course, which will probably consist of six numbers.

We want twenty tons of baled Straw. HAMILTON A KELLNER.

Sent Us a Couple of Grimes Golden Prize Whining Apples.

The Monon Route, under the progressive policy of its president, Fairfax Harrison, is doing all in its power to develop the natural resources of Indiana as well as to build up the Monon railroad. He offered S2OO cash for the best box of apples exhibited at the recent Indiana apple show and the prize was won by Ora F. Richards, horticulturist for the Indiana Society of Feeble Minded Youth, at For*. Wayne. Mr. Richards had a fine display of Grimes Golden apples which were sent to President Harrison, of the Monon, who very generously has sent a number out to newspaper editors along the road. The Republican received two of the apples by express prepaid and on a simultaneous mail a letter from Frank J. Reed, General Passenger Agent of the road. Mr. Reed says in the letter, “I am sending you two of the prize winning apples and hope that you will enjoy eating them.”

Mr. Harrison’s object in offering the prize was to do what he could to encourage apple growing in Indiana and particularly in the territory served by the Monon railroad. Mr. E. R. Smith, president of the apple show wrote Mr. Harrison as follows after the close of the show: “The contest was very close and Mr. won by half a point from C. N Lindley, of Salem, Ind., Mr. Lindley showed Rome Beauty apples and Mr. Richards showed Grimes Golden. Grimes Golden graded 20 in quality and Rprhe Beauty 16, and when the total score was footed up Mr. Richards was half a point ahead. I wish you could have seen all the boxes entered for the prize. They were beauties and the struggle for the Monon premium was a leading feature of the show.”

We wish our friends could see the apples, for they are real beauties, but it is probable that we can qot restrain our desire to eat them long enough to place them on exhibit.

Purdue-Indiana Football Game Will Draw Big Crowd Saturday.

The Purdue-Indiana football game will take place at Bloomington next Saturday. The Monon will run a special train in two sections from Lafayette. One will leave Lafayette at 7:30 and the other at 8 o’clock Saturday morning. The round trip from Lafayette will be $1.50. Returning, the train will leave Bloomington at 7 and 7:15 in the evening. Traveling passenger Agent John Priest was here today to inform Rensselaer people that they can go to Lafayette on the early morning train and be there in time to catch the special. Don Beam, Delos Dean, John Hemphill and several others will probably go from here. The game should be the best contest in college football in the state this year.

Take All Articles for Bazaar To Mrs. P. W. Clarke’s Residence.

All ladies who have prepared articles to be sold at the Christian church bazaar next Saturday are requested to take them to the home of Mrs. P. W. Clarke Friday. Please do not forget.

Traveling Passenger Agent Priest to Take Southern Trip.

John Priest, of Lafayette, traveling passenger agent of the Monon, accompanied by his wife, will start | shortly on a southern trip, which will include visits to Oklahoma Qty, San Antonio, Galveston, New Orleans, Tampa, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Palm Beach, Miami and Key West. Mr. Priest is a great hustler for business and it is in recognition of this fact that Frank J. Reed, the Monon's General Passenger Agent, hag secured free transportation for Mr Priest and Wife for the entire trip.
