Froserutor John Burns said It devolved upon the State to show that Melvln Wolfe, Terrell s son-in-law. was killed on July 12; that the mur der had been committed by Terrell and that it was the result of uremedltated malice. He then outlined the evidence more speclticelly, going over the events that led up to the murder, describing graphically Terrell's lying In wait at the roadside, his pursuit of Wolfe to Dr. Sanders's office at Petroleum and his final aot in the tragedy. Mr. Burns said the State would show that prior to the shooting of Wolfe, Terrell had made remarks to the effect that Wolfe was not flt to live, that someone ought to kill him and that Wolfe would have to keep off certain roads. He closed by stating that the State would expect a verdict of mur der in the first degree. Wolfe's father and stepmother shed tears over the prosecutor's recital. During the afternoon Wolfe's father. Coroner McBride. Rosa Denney, Ida Clark, Delia Reed and Orvllle Burgess were exam ined. The last four were witnesses of the shooting and Delia Reed was In the buggy with Wolfe, her 'Stepbrother.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It

To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Samp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of the Journal May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free; by Mail

It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diteases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire bdy is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sfck or "feel badly." begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. I was a constant sufferer for a number of years with weakness of the kidneys and back and frequent desire to urinate, but alter using Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot. I am entirely cured and cheerfully recommend this wonderful remedy to any who may suffer from these common complaints. Most truly yours, W. C. Baily, 2d Lieut, of Pol ce, Columbus, Ga. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering with fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves; makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the n ght. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and dver -trouble, you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you have plenty of ambition, but no strength: get weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the world-famous kidney remedy.

REJOICING AT LAFAYETTE INDIANAPOLIS A NORTHWESTERN TRACTION LINE NOW OPEN. Official and Frlenda Ride Over the Hund from the Capital and Are Entertained at Dinner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 2. To-day marked an epoch in the commercial growth of Lafayette and the opening of an era of eleotric railway traffic for this city. Just as the clock In the courthouse tower was striking twelve to-day the first interurban car reached the public square and a great throng of people, assembled to await It coming, gave vent to their enthusiasm with loud cheers that were acknowledged by bows from the traction officials inside the handsome coach. The promise of the Town-send-Reed Company, made a year ago, to have cars into this city by the 1st of December, has been kept, and the arrival of the Indianapolis & Northwestern system's car was hailed with delight by every person In Lafayette. The car that arrived yesterday was not a through coach. When the through car reached the Hotel Lahr to-day the crowd massed about It, allowing It to move but slowly up Main street to the square, where the public was allowed to inspect the handsome coach. The officials left Indianapolis at 8 o'clock this morning on a regular car and took the special at Lebanon. The coach in which they journeyed to this city and which was the flrst to be seen inside the city limits was a new one from the Jewett Car Company s plant at Newark, O. No attempt was made to make fast time, but the track, wires and power were In fine working order. The following officials and members of the contracting firm made the trip to this city: P. L. Salston, vice president; Charles Eldrldge, treasurer; Messrs. Townsend and Reed, Nathan Anthony, of the Tucker-Anthony syndicate; Robert P. Wood, chief engineer; C. C. Reynolds, general manager; Thomas Pettlgrew. engineer- C. K. Jeffries, trainmaster, and James Wllklns, electrical engineer. Mr. Reynolds, general manager, said that he hoped to have a regular schedule between here and Indianapolis In operation Dy Monday. The officials and other members of the party were the guests of Charles Murdock, the local gas and traction magnate, at a dinner at the Hotel Lahr this afternoon. The dinner was served in the ordinary to a party of ten, and after its conclusion the party returned to the car, which was still the object of great curiosity for hundreds, and it left the square at 1:55 o'clock this afternoon on the return trip. At Perrin avenus the car struck a "pocket" and some trouble was experienced In progressing. That, however, was soon remedied and the car continued ita trip. Nothing has developed from the movement to compel the Northwestern Company to obtain a franchise. Lecturer Fallit from Grace. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAMMOND, Ind.. Dec. 2. The Rev. M.

Special to the Indi napolla Journal. MONTFELIEK. Ind.. Dec. 2. If oil continues to advance the $1.50 prediction will come true befoi'3 spring, anyway the producers will ha v.; the highest price 11 this winter that has ever been enjoyed in any winter in the Trenton rock fields of Ohio and Indiana. Another advance of 2 cents West and 3 cents East to-dry puts the local market to $1.32, and Tlonat the highest-priced oil on the market to 1.02. The White House and Ragland oils of Kentucky did not change to-day and remain the same as they have for the past two months. The oil men 01 this State are feeling exceedingly happy over the recent advances and some of the best posted producers say the market for Western oils will never again see a pric below $1. New men who have just entered the local field and put thousands of dollars In property feel that they have just -hit it. Only a month ago W. A. Porterfieli, of Chicago, who has associated with h m a syndicate of London, England, capitalists, purchased property to the amount of teOO.000, and since the purchase the company has spent several thousand dollars. I'hls is only one instance of the kind. Tlte local producers are putting much mony Into the business. A few prices will undoubtedly be of interest now: In 887 the market for Indiana oil was 15 centA a barrel. It remained at that until March. 1890. when it went to 30 cents. In Decejnber of 1891 36 cents was reached, and in 1893 49 cents. In the next year 55 cents WUM the highest. During 1895 $1.21 was the Highest. The high price In 18 was 90 cents, and in 1897. the next year, 80 cents was hfcgh. while in 1K99 the year closed with oil at $1.17. It has been between 80 cents and $1.15 since, until this year, when the. former records for high prices have been broken. Following are the quotations ti-day: Tlona $2.02 Pennsylvania 1.17 New Castle .... 1.74 Corning 1.67 North Lima ...X 1.17 South Lima 1.32 Indiana 1.32 White House, Ky 1.35 Somerset - 1.32 Ragland 66 Promise of a Busy Winter. Spec'al to the Ind'&napoli Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Dec. 2. Local operators are jubilknt over the increase in price for HoosJ-sr crude petroleum to-day. While dollar-and-a-half oil waa looked for by all, they arc now strongly of the belief that the price will reach 12 before high water mark is reached. Reasons advanced to support this belief are that Indiana ter ritory is almost drilled up; greater risk Is taken on each well drilled now; the cost of production has advanced more than 40 per cent, and opera-tin supplies have reached a far higher price than was ever looked for here. Despite this the solid appearance of the market will Incite considerable work in this field and many new strings of drilling tools will b started at once. Oil Company Organised. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES. Ind.. Dec. 2. A gas and oil company which will operate In the southwestern part ot the United States was organised here to-day. William B.
