VICE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE POWER

Governor Marshall as Presiding Officer of Senate May Wield Deciding Strength. The new United States senate will have 49 democrats and 47 republicans. At present Senator Isador Rayner, of Maryland, is very sick and his death is not unlikely. Should he die the republican governor of Maryland will undoubtedly aypoint a republican to succeed him. 'That would make an even division in the senate and Vice-President-elect Marshall, as presiding officer, would have to cast the deciding vote on many important questions.

Wilcox, Daytou 9t., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “The statement I gave for publication in May, 1907, in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills, still holds good. The cure they effected has been permanent. I had pains through my loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and worn out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing (relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

SCHRANK INSANE; WILL GO TO ASYLUM

Alienists Agree That Assailant of (Roosevelt is Crazy—Examined At Milwaukee. John Sehrank, the New York crank who pursued (Colonel Roosevelt over the country ahd finally made a murderous assault on him at Milwaukee, is insane, according to the five alienists who examined him at Milwaukee during the past week. He will be sent to the asylum'’where he will probably spend his remaining days. Sehrank pleaded guilty before Judge Backus last week and the court appointed the commission of alienists on motion of District Attorney Zabal, who told the court that he believed the would-be slayer was mentally unbalanced. That Sehrank is afflicted with paranoia will be the substance of the ex T perts’ report.

FAWLEY CONVICTED; BLUFFS AT SUICIDE

Jury Gave Stowers* Assailant Fine and Jail Sentence and He Drinks VermJne Poison. The Fawley trial was held Tuesday and the jury after being out for some time brought in a compromise verdict, assessing a fine of $250 arid a 90 days’ jail sentence. Fawley was greatly disappointed at the sentence and declared to Sheriff Hoover after being returned to the jail that he was Sorry he had not killed Stowers and that he now proposed to kill himself. Suiting his action to his words he grabbed a disinfectant spray, containing three-fourths of a pint of verniine poison and drank about a quarter of a pint. Then he bellowed for help and threw up everything he had on his stomach. The jail physician attended him and by half after nine o’clock he seejfied out of danger. His antics after taking the disinfectant, which seems to contain some benzine, a little arsenic and perhaps some chloride of zinc, frightened Harvey Jewell, the only other prisoner, half to death. Jewell is from Brook and was sent here for safe keeping. His charge is child desertion. He wrote a note about Fawley’s having taken the dope and got the attention of a member of the sheriff’s family and informed them about what had happened. After things were quieted down and all were asleep Fawley set up another big fuss. He moaned and groaned like a dying calf and the sheriff was compelled to come down at 1 o’clock at night and again call the jail physician. Fawley this time seemed to be in bad condition and for a time it was thought he was going to die. He drank some milk and vomited it up and. apparently had disposed of all the poison. He begged to see his wife, calling incessantly for Mary. Thinking he was going to die, the sheriff called for his wife, who is staying with her mother near Aix, and she came down to the jail, arriving at 2 o’clock in the morning. Fawley at once brightened up, and spent most of the remainder of the night quarreling with her. He held her hand and petted her and then almost cussed her in same breath. She told him that she was a Christian and had tried to do everything that was right and had tried to get him to and he told her jt was the devil that was working on her. She told him that he knew he had knocked her down many times and had kicked her and that she was afraid of him and then he petted her up and the sheriff put in an uncomfortable time listening to the parley. Finally he broke it up. Fawley’s attempt at suicide was evidently more of a bluff than anything else. He was too spectacular for a man that really plans self-destruction. Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant this morning offered him another drink of the disinfectant, but he declined it. While the state failed to show that Fawley’s assault was with the intention of murdering Stowers, thus eliminating that feature from the trial, Attorney Frank Davis, for the state, made a good case and a strong plea and a part of the jury are said to have favored a penitentiary sentence, but this was not possible unless the intent to kill was proven. The sentence is unfortunate in that it makes him an inmate of the jail for .540 days, at the expense of the county and to the menace of other prisoners and the annoyance of the sheriff. Fair Oaks people relate a number of escapades that Fawley has committed. He has attacked and beaten up several people since living there. He has had fights in years gone by and his body is frightfully scarred from cuts he has received. A great gash extends across his right jaw and the side of the neck. Another big scar across his back, a third is across one arm and there are several across his abdomen. /All were apparently razor or knife cuts. People in 'Fair Oaks fear him. Some think him insane, while others consider him simply mean. It is feared that he may return to Fair Oaks and go after those who testified against him. This he says he -frill not do, but will live in Rensselaer if he gets out. He talks still about suiciding and a number of things indicate that he is of unsound mind.

Box Sapper. All the young ladies are invited to bring well filled boxes and the young men are urged to bring well filled purses to the box supper and entertainment to be given Saturday evening, Nov. 23rd, at the Fair Oaks school house.

"WIFE BEATER, EH! FINE: FIFTY DOLLARS.”

George Martin Pleaded Guilty and Judge Socked Stiff Flue On Him For Assault On Wife. George Martin, the Newland mail carrier who several weeks ago was arrested on an affidavit by Will Postill charging him with beating his wife, was given a big fine this Wednesday morning on his plea of guilty. The result of the action was somewhat of a surprise to all parties concerned. Deputy Prosecutor Frank Davis, of Brook, represented the state. Attorney Williams represented thA defendant. Davis had the goods on' Martin, for several were prepared to testify that they heard Mrs. Martin’s screams for help and that they found hei in a semi-conscious condition as a result of her husband’s attack. Others were ready to testify that after she was rescued and taken to the home of a neighbor she, had exhibited marks from his fingers on her throat. Mrs. Martin, since the assault, had adjusted matters with Martin and she was not willing to testify against him, but Martin, feeling sure that he would be convicted, thought he might escape lightly by a plea of “guilty.” He now knows differently. He had no more than uttered the words than Judge Hanley said, “Wife beating, huh! fifty dollars and casts. Next” No police judge ever disposed of a case with greater alacrity. Judge Hanley don’t have any sympathy with selfconfessed wife beaters and he uses no soft pedals in dealing with them. The fine and costs figured $65. Martin told a reporter for The Republican that he would either pay it or stay it, he did not know which. He declared that he was not guilty, but had pleaded that way because he knew a gang was trying to do him up and that he thought pleading guilty was the cheapest way out of it. His son, who as a sequal to Postill’s filing the affidavit, severely whipped Postill, and then Broke away from the constable and made his escape after being brought to town, is now working at corn shucking at the Ralph Lowman farm. His case was settled by a plea of guilty In Justice Bruner’s court, where he was fined $25. In all the escapade of Martin has cost him about SIOO. It is hoped this fine has the effect of bringing the unfortunate affair to a close.

And still the fine weather continues; each day seems to strive to be more glorious than the preceding one. This morning It was a little cloudy for a time, but the clouds soon disappeared and the bright warm sun has made a fine day. The forecast for tomorrow is for fair weather with still warmer temperature.

It is a difficult thing even for the professedly good who have made blunders to muster the courage to square them by acknowledging the mistake. Many a man of virtue has lacked the courage to admit his mistakes and make manly reparation for them. «You find these men often in the most unexpected places.

Albert G. Detch, who prior to 1905 had for some time been a Methodist minister, at which time he withdrew from the ministry and his membership from the church, has recently been having some trouble in Indianapolis, having been arrested charged with marrying people under age. He was the pastor of the M. E. church at Reynolds some years ago and is given credit there for having established the park at that place.

The snow then melted and Ross decided to come home but Bruce remained in the hills, awaiting another snow and the possibility of getting another deer. Ross did not bring any deer meat home with him. f
