WILL CASE DRAGS

Suggest Private Were for Attorney Bin-

ford—Many Witnesses in Onstott-.

Bradley Trial at Shelbyville.

The trial of the Bradley will case is dragging along slowly in the circuit court. From all outward appearances each side is confident of winning. Each witness is asked scores of questions and it appears that both sides want each and every little fact before the jury. An amusing incident happened in connection with the trial of the case today. Attorney Elmer Binford, of counsel for the plaintiffs, is a busy man. At home when he is not interested in a case in court he is hiding behind the back of a big book in his law library. He also takes an active interest in politics, says the Shelbyville Democrat.

For several days, the paper says, a messenger boy has been bringing Mr. Binford telegrams and a spectator who had seen the messenger appear time after time, thought it would be a saving to have a private wire run to the court room. The trial was started the middle of last week and will probably take a greater part of this week.

Marriage License.

The Dog Had Rabies.

Jesse Hare, Formerly of Rush County,

Now Owns Section of Land Mile

From Galveston.

Jesse Hare, of Galveston, Texas, was in the city Tuesday on business with John H. Binford and he talks interestingly of the Mexican trouble.

Mr. Hare was born and raised in Rush county and went to California ten years ago, and settled near Galveston about five years ago. He owns a section of land within ten miles of Galveston, which he bought for $18 an acre and which is now worth $45 an acre.

His sister, now Mrs. Charles Binford, was a missionary in Mexico several years, and Mr. Hare understands the trouble in Mexico a great deal better than persons who have not been at the scene of trouble. He says it is a much smaller matter than dispatches would indicate. The trouble covers only a small part of the conntry, he says. The proportion of the country affected, he says, is about parallel with one state to the United States. He left his home near Galveston two weeks ago.

Amusements

Murat Theatre.

Among the most interesting and important players on the American stage, Madame Kalich commands unusual attention. There is no greater actress before the public than this notable woman who has within seven vearsjwon a position of permanence and the highest honors, and who fills that position with distinction. Her art is many-sided and her range of characters cover almost the entire scale of emotion, "The Kreutzer Sonata," in which she scored a triumph before New York audiences being as- far removed from the comedy "Cora," in which she was seen two years ago as laughter is from tears. It was in "The Kreutzer Sonata" that Madame Kalich astonished New York and the few larger cities in which she was seen.

In this play she created such enthusiasm that audiences were held spell-bound in the powerful scenes which Jacob Gordin had first conceived and Langdon Mitchell had later adapted into the drama in which Madame Kalich was presented. The story of the young Russian girl exiled by her father to America because she had loved an officer of another religion, married to a weak and vicious musician of the lower EastlSide, and finally ending with a great tragedy when she finds that her husband has become involved in a love affair with her own sister, forms a play of gripping power. It is promised that the supporting company will be one of perfect balance and that the play will be mounted with all the fidelity de manded by its interesting scenes. It will be presented at the Shubert Mnrat theatre on next Monday, March 27th for three performances.

John A. Rhue, formerly cashier of the Greenfield Banking Company, and now one of the State Bank examiners, has been elected vice-presi-dent of the Marion National bank, Marion, Indiana, and will have an active part in the management of the bank.
