RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915.

I know not yet how many weary miles Over Life’s rough path my tired feet must roam. Nor yet how soon my Father’s loving voice May say, “Enough, rAy child, come home.” But when at last my tired, pulseless hands Lay still and useless on my lifelees breast. Oh! friends, let not my couch or casket With beauteous flowers be dressed. Oh! not because I do not love them, nay, God’s frail, sweet, silent message from above, Just that I would not have them perish thus, But sent as tokens of his love. To those whom sin and sickness holds in thrall— From all Life’s brighter things shut in, Oh! let them go to such, to cheer and bless, And lead them back from paths of sin. Oh! friends, leave not your gifts of fragrant flowers And kindly words till cold in death we lay, But give them now, to comfort, cheer and bless The travelers along Life’s way.

Jury Cleared Zeigler of Charge Made by Mrs. Sage.

The jury remained out only a short time Friday afternoon on the case of the State of Indiana vs. David Zeigler, bringing in a verdict of “not guilty.” The suit was the outgrowth of an unfortunate family affair. The defendant and his wife lived on the Elizur Sage farm, west of town. Mrs. Sage charged that she went to the farm several weeks ago and after a discussion with Mrs. Zeigler and her husband about the possession of a rug, was forceably ejected from the premises by Zeigler. She alleged that he struck her across the forearm with a piece .of fence board. Zeigler denied having struck her. The charge made by Mrs. Sage Was that the assault was with intent to commit murder and the accusation was so severe that the defendant had employed Attorney J. A. Dunlap, of this city, and E. B. Sellers, of Monticello, to defend him.

Charles Pullin Thinks Alfalfa Fright Unwarranted.

For some time there has been a rumor that much of the alfalfa seed sown recently had turned out to be weeds and great alarm was being felt. Many farmers had put out alfalfa this spring for the first time and as the seed has come up and spread open for its first tiny leaves it looks very much like smartweed or heartshorn. Some are reported to have been considering the plowing up of the fields. “Uncle” Charley Pullin, however, should be accepted as unquestioned authority about alfalfa and he says that fields he has examined are not weeds but are really alfalfa, although the tender shoots do not take on much the appearance -of anything but weeds until the third leaf sprouts. Mr. Pullin brought to The Republican office samples of his own spring planting, which shows the third leaf, or, in fact, the only real leaf, the first two being more like the unfolding of the seed. He also brought a sample from a field sown for Marsh Warner a week later than his own and on which the third leaf has not developed. Although it looks very weed-like, Mr. Pullin says it is alfalfa all right and thinks the alarm that has been felt is altogether unwarranted.

Judge Ellis made an order holding that Mann was incapacitated and incompetent to prosecute in these cases. W. A. Thompson has been appointed special prosecutor to try all the cases. The court’s reason for removing Mann is that eleven indictments were returned against deputy prosecutor Gebe Williams and that Mann has an abiding faith in the innocence of Williams and still retains him in the capacity of deputy prosecutor.
