“KEEP IT QUIET," SAYS STERLING

Match Factory Promoter Says the Proposition Has Been Financed —Statement is Promised. A reporter for The»Republican went to the depot Friday afternoon and saw W. W. Sterling, odf Elkhart, p the match factory promoter or exploiter, who was here only (between trains, arriving on the 2 o’clock train and leaving at 3:39. He introduced us to a man named Buxton, and stated that at last the mach (factory had'(been financed and that the original plans would be carried out.. Observing that the reporter was about to bring his note book and pencil into action Mr. Sterling said that he was not prepared to make a statement at his time and asked that silence be mainained until a little later, when, he says, he will come here prepared to give out the definite plans for the future. ‘Too much has already been said and much of it unauthorized,” quoth Mr. Sterling. An effort wa’s made by Mr. Sterling, so he stated, to get into communication with E. L. Hollingsworth and C. G. Spitler, over the telephone, hut he did not talk with either. Mr. Buxtons’ connection with the company was not'explained and we are unable to inform Our anxious readers whether he Is the “angel” that is to finance the match factory or another intermediary who is trying to locate some willing and trustful soul, to put up the cash. We are very hopeful that Mr. Sterling has made no mistake in his latest forecast that the match factory will soon start operations.

SLAYER OF TANGO TEACHER MUST DIE

Henry Spencer, Confessed Slayer of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, Will Go to Gallows. e Chicago, Nov. 14.—Henry Spencer, confessed slayer of Mrs. Mildrel Allison Rexroat, the tango dancing teacher, iwas tonight found guilty of murder by a Jury at Wheaton, a suburb. The death penalty was fixed by the jury, which returned a verdict after little more than two hours' deliberation. / Spencer iwas arrested Oct. 5, accused otf having lured Mrs. Rexroat to Wayne,' 111., and placing her body on the railroad track after he had shot her to death. Mrs. Rexroat’s body was found early in the morning of Sept. 27. Immediately after his arrest Spencer began a wholesale confession, in which he declared he had murdered twenty-nine persons, most of them women, and nearly all for the purpose of robbery. Although the police proved that Spencer could not have committed many of these murders, they still maintain the belief that he killed at leas one or two women in addition to the dancing teacher. Ever since his arrest Spencer has insisted that he be given the death penalty. When his trial began Monday, however, his attitude in the court room was one of such violence that Prosecutor Hadley saw in it a well-defined attempt to establish the belief that the defendant was insane. The jury refused to be moved by these efforts. Spencer was the only witness to take the stand for the defense. He testified today and for fifteen minuteiheld the attention of the court whije he cursed and reviled his oWn counsel and the state’s attorney.

WOMAN TRIED TO KILL HER HUSBAND

Revolver Bullet Passed Through Hat of Dr. Cook—No Explanation for the Deed. Foiwler Republican-Leader. Fowler was the scene of a very unfortunate domestic affair when Dr. Clark pook barely escaped assassination at the hands of his wife last Thursday night. After the supper meal the doctor visited his wife in her room at the Fowler hotel. He had seated himself and enjoyed himself at a game of solitaire when all at once he was surprised to hear the report of a revolver. Upon examination he discovered that the bullet had passed through the crown of his hat, but in no way did the bullet strike him. Mrs. Cook had slipped behind her husband and fired from the rear.

Upon a glance the doctor saw the smoking, weapon in the hands of his wife and at once wrenched it from her grasp. No reason has been assigned for the rash act other than that the assailant was probably not in her mental attitude at the time. She has been afflicted physically for several years and that fact no doubt has preyed upon her mind to such an extent that she became somewhat unbalanced for the time. Before an insanity commission consisting of Drs. LeSage and Moorehouse and SquiTe Stevenson she was declared sane. Mrs. Cook refuses to dicsuss the affair in any way. No legal action will likely be resorted to in the matter owing to the broken health of Mrs. Cook. Dr. Cook is very much unnerved over the affair and it is feared that a nervate breakdown may result. Dr. and Mrs. Cook have lived in Fowler for almost thirty years and are highly respected by all, and they have the entire sympathy of the people in the said affair. Mrs. Cook went to Lebanon the fore part of the week to visit her brother, and it is thought the change may prove of some benefit to her.

Declare War on Colds. A crusade of education which aims “that common colds may become uncommon within the next generation” has been begun by prominent New York physicians. Here is a list of the “don’ts” which the doctors say will prevent the annual visitation of the cold: “Don’t sit in a draughty car.” “Don’t sleep In hot rooms.” “Don’t avoid the fresh air.” “Don’t Stuff yourself at meal time. Over-eating reduces your resistence.” To which we would add—-when you take a,cold get rid of It as quickly as possible. To accomplish that you will find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy most excellent Sold by A. ¥. Long. C

Earl Duvall suffered losses from box car thieves the past week, while boxes belonging to Geo. E. Murray & Co. were' broken open but nothing taken.
