LAWSON TRIAL IS TO BEGIN MONDAY

Special Venire Is Drawn In the Clinton Circuit Court to Try Slayer Of August Scaloln. Frankfort, Ind., Dec. B.—A special venire of forty men in addition to the regular panel of twelve, was ordered drawn yesterday by Judge Combs for the Lawson murder trial, which begins next Monday morning. The case has been given wide publicity and no doubt people in this and adjoining counties are familiar with the facte. It is quite likely the court room will be too small to accommodate the crowds that will attend. Yesterday Attorney C. R. Pollard, of Delphi, who is to defefid Lawson, retained the law firm of Strawn & Robinson to assist. Each side in a murder trial is entitled to twenty' peremptory challenges and there is no limit to the number of challenges for cause. Lawson previously offered to plead guilty to a manslaughter charge, but the state refused to accept it and he is charged with first degree murder. The penalty f6r this crime if convicted is either death or life imprisonment, a matter for the discretion of the jury. It is said the state will ask the death peiuriy for thjs crime if the defendant is convicted. It is a difficult matter to secure a jury, however, owing to the fact that many are opposed to capital punishment. The case will probably require the better, part of next week to try.

Monticello Pleased With “Happy Heine” Says Journal.

The Monticello Journal contained the following write-up of the “Happy Heinie” show: “There was a good sized crowd at the opera house last night and everybody was pleased with the production of ‘Happy JHeinie.’ The production is a melodrama, with a sufficient plot to keep up interest in the story, and is richly interpolated with a number of catchy and well rendered songs. Mr. Holmes has a sweet voice and his songs were deservedly encored. His wife, who played the part of the abused heroine, is also an accomplished singer and has a most remarkable voice, being able to sing contralto and soprano with equal ease. The company contains some of the best singing voices ever heard in the city. The supporting company was generally good and all in all it was a very meritorious performance. Managed Mathews will win the title of good fellow if he can run in an attraction like that about once a week during the winter. It sure was a happy change in the way of amusement.”

HEADLESS BODY OF WOMAN FOUND TUESDAY

Mrs. Hofm««ter, 35 Years Old, Is Found Dead In Orchard Near Delphi—Believed Acidental. The headless body of Mrs. F. J. Hoffmeister, 35 years old, who lived with her husband on a farm east of Delphi, was found in the orchaid at her home last evening. It is believed that death was accidental. The woman left home shortly after noon with the intention of going hunting. When seh did not return at supper time, Mr. Hofmeister became alarmed and started an investigation. A searching party was organized and the fields in the vicinity of the Hofmeister home were searched. As the party was returning home they were horrified to find the headless body lying in the orchard. Mrs. Hofmeister carried a 20-guage Shotgun and it is believed that when she was returning to the house the trigger of the gun either caught on a twig, or she fell and the gun was dischagred. The charge of shot struck her in the chin 9* the entire top of her head was blown off. The family moved to Carroll county about three months ago from Gallion, Ohio. It is believed that Mis. Hofmeister had been dead about three hours when found. The coroner will conduct a rigid investigation.

“OUR MOTHER'S” SERVICE DREW LARGE CROWDS

Special Service Tonight at Methodist Church Revival Meetings— Everybody Come. The service in honor of “Our Mothers,” was a wonderful one at the Methodist church last night. The church began filling up very eaify and dozens of carnations were sold at the door. The Rev. J. McD. tKerr preached a most impressive sermon about the love and influence of mothers and at times there were many in tears. The beautiful singing of the evangelists touched all hearts. A great many came around the altar for consecration and conversion. The congregation sang an appropriate song and marched in a body to the altar and left their flowers. This was a wonderful sight and it nade a deep impression upon all present. The flowers were given today to some of the sick of the community. There were not enough flowers to send to every home that had sick people, but the committee made them reach around to as many m possible. Tonight will be orae of the greatest services of all. At the close there •will be a rally of all the new converts and -new members. Dr. Cumick announced that Sunday a free will offering wfll be taken for the evangelists. There have been no collections taken during the three weeks' services for the evangelists, so the people can give to the free will offering Sunday.

Scores of Rensselaer Readers Are Learning the Duly d the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidhey's duty. When they fail to do this the kidneys are weak. Backache and other kidney ilk may follow; Help the kidneys do their work. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—the tested kidney remedy. Rensselaer people endorse their worth. Nelson Randle, N. Main St., Ren*selaer, says: “I have need Doan's Kidney Pilk at different times when suffering from a lame and aching back sad other symptoms off disordered kidneys. I got this medicine at Fendig’s Drug Store. Relief soon followed its use and the backache and other kidney ailments were removed. I do not know of a case where Doan's Kidney Pills have failed to prove of benefit.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan Vi Kidney Pilis-the same that Mr. Randle had. Foeter-Milbuxn Co* Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
