PUBLICAN the trial of Gardner Haines of "faith cure" fame would be held at 2 o'clocK Monday and a large crowd was in attendance. The Mayor's office would not accommodate tho people and Judge Offutt kindly donated the use of the court room for the trial. Long before 2 o'clock the court room was packed and standing room was at a premium. Promptly at 2 Mayor Duncan tapped for order and said that court was in session. The State is represented by Prosecutor McNew and R. A. Black and the defendent by Elmer J. Binford. The charge against Mr. Haines is for practicing medicine without a license. About forty witnesses have been summoned and the trial will probably consume twe or three days. Should the State fail to make this case stick, Mr. Haines will probaly be arrested for obtaining money under false pretense.

THE FllilS COMPANY'S OUIC-T AVORK

A Splendid Pressure AViilt Fine llesults

Wednesday the alarm of fire brought-* out the lire company on the double quick.The fire proved to be a summer kitchen^ attached to John McCabes house on Mill street. C. E. Kinder with the hose cartwas there very quickly the hose waspromptly attached and the pressure beingallright the fire was soon extinguished.

The Gorman house was on fire but a few dishes soon extinguished that fire and then the hose was turned on the kitchen. It only required a few minutesto put out all the fire, although the building was completely enveloped in flames.: Under the old style of the bucket brigade both houses of Mr. McCabe and of Mrs. Gorman would have been destroyed. We are proud of our water works and our fire department. They are equal to the emergency.

A New York man who was there said "why that beats the water pressure inNewYork." A Knightstown man who is used to seeing men pull the hose carts to a fire said "why my G-d how quickthey get there."

GICKAT INXKREST MANIFESTED.

In Healer Haines' Trial.—Court lloom.-' Crowded To Suffocation.—Many Ladies Present.

His Honor, Mayor Duncan, was onef hour late Monday afternoon in call-® ing his court to order, occasioned by botL'~. of tho stenographers being busy on a trial-., before Judge Offutt. When court was* called to order, Mayor Duncan looked out"^ on the largest audience he ever saw in. our court room before. After explaining^ the cause of the delay, the trial of "Dr."! Haines was resumed, having been con tinueil from last night. The first witness was "Dr." Tull of the "faith"-ful followers of "Dr." Haines, who tried to ex-: plaiu Christian Science and medicine, but' he got to tangled up that he, nor no one else could tell what he meant. He was so completely "muddled" that he had to be taken

011

This trial is exciting more interest than. any that has been held in this city for many years, and is attended by the best and most intelligent of our people. The case will hardly be finished to-night unless a night session is held. The argument will probably take the best part of a day. There is much speculation as to what Mayor Duncan's decision will be, and thd case will be clofcely watched to the end.

In this connection we would like to say a word or two in favor of the city hall. The necessity for a hall is clearly proven to those who are in attendance at the above named trial. The seating capacity and all available standing room is crowded to the utmost, and hundreds of people are turned away from the room, being unable to get near the door. A REPUBLICAN man saw the plans of the proposed new city building, and found that the main room of the building would only be 26x26 feet, which is not as large as the room now occupied as a Council Chamber. The City Council should take steps, before it is too late, to secure a lot which would give them more room for a building which would be suitable for all purposes.. There should also be a station house connected with the new city building.

Every farmer in this part of the country should avail himself of the opportunity to buy his binder twine at the great Spot Cash sale. Its selling for about one third the regular cost.

Dr. N. P. Howard, sr., is adding an upstairs hall and a bath room to his residence on Main street. Clint Parker is the contractor.

"'I Si A

another line of cross question

ing before he could make himself understood. His testimony in substance, as our reporter could get it, was: There is is no such thing as a sun, moon, stars, art, geology or science of any kind except the "Christian Science." He would not answer direct questions without compelled to by the court and then he would generally use a qualifying clause.
