Earhart, who was arrested Saturday afternoon after making an attempt on Detective Reed's life. The public displayed little interest in McDonald during the arraignment. The general opinion expressed is that the grind Jury will find a true bill against another Individual. This appeared to be the concensus of opinion among the crowds discussing the mystery to-day, although the Identity of the suspect continues to be an object of speculation. Prosecutor Miller will reach here In the morning to take up the case with the grand Jury. "McDonald has virtually confessed his gi'ilt," as the statement of Detective R. ed on his return from Bloomington this p' ening.

He has reached that point where his collapse is a matter of a few hours at least He told me to-day." continued Reed, "that If it was not for committing a crime he would take his own life. He claims to have committed every crime in the calendar with the exception of murder. I have absolute evidence that he killed Miss Shafer. and I believe he will waive the formality of a trial and plead guilty." PROSECUTOR MILLER SAYS HE IS GUILTY

CORONER LOOKS INTO CAUSE OF BOY'S DEATH Young Shaneyfelt Found Lying Dead on Roadside with Bullet Through His Mouth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind.. Feb. 29. The coroner of Jay county is to-day conducting an investigation of the death of Emanuel Shaneyfelt, aged sixteen, whose body was found lying beside a country road north of New Pittsburg late last evening. The body was lying on the left side, the right arm hanging down over his side and a revolver lay on his right hip. The first and most plausible theory was that the death was accidental. That the boy was looking into the muzzle of the weapon when It was accidentally fired, as the shot had taken effect in the mouth and the blood was oozing therefrom. The pistol was of an old patte rn with no trigger, and the only way it could be fired would be by pulling the hammer back and then releasing It. There was one empty shell in the weapon, showing that it probably contained but the one cartridge. In order to be fired the cylinder would have to be turned so th.it the cartridge came in line with the barrel. The left hand was powder-burned.

my sick father." He said that they did not take a wedding trip at their marriage, owing to the preparations having cost more than was expected, and that the trip would be taken the following year. Mr. Gregg testified that on hearing this his former wife told him that "I was a cheap skato and stingy."

He said the plaintiff at first was kind to his mother, but afterward began to make slighting remarks about her. Witness said that plaintiff did not wait on bis mother when she was sick and denied that his mother had ever said that defendant s folks should support her.

June, he said, became angry at that remark. Said he never used any abusive language toward his mother, such as plaintiff alleged.

Clemen Finally, June went to people In Kentucky, while he took his mother to Mt. Clemens.

Said his mother never had any ill feeling against June and gave her $5 for a Christmas present, which she used in buying presents for her relatives. Witness denied having ever slapped or beaten plaintiff. He declared plaintiff had purchased twenty pairs of shoes In a year and a half. He said that many of ihe quarrels he and June had resulted from gossip. Ho Mid the plaintiff refused to learn how to make biscuits.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 29.-In his twenty-ninth annual report, which has just been issued, President W. E. Stone, of Purdue rniversity, citee the remarkable growth of the Institution in the past few years and deplores the limited facilities which has made It necessary for the faculty to place restrictions tending to prevent an increase

In he student attendance. He tells of the raising of the standard of admission with the deliberate object of restricting the number of entering students, but says that In spite of this the freshman class last year was the largest ever known at Purdue, 384 men being enrolled. The most remarkable feature of the president's report is that part which sets forth the astonishing growth in the student body which has increased 80 per cent, since 1899 a showing that no other university in America ever made. This growth. President Stone says, is due to the growing appreciation of and the demand for training in applied science, and in part, it is also felt, to tie recognition of the policy and methods of the institution. Continuing, the. president says: "This Increase has severely taxed the resources of the university in ev. ry way. There has been in this time only a slight growth in the regular income of the university; the two new buildings have not provided room In the lines where room was most needed to care for class work; the number of instructors, as well as the means to compensate them, has been insufficient. Thus the institution has been conducted on a plan of retrenchment which might be endured for a short time, but which, if pursued continually, would effectually stifle normal growth. Fortunately, by act of the last General Assembly, an Income Is assured after 1904. which will restore working conditions to the normal. There still remains the problem of how to care for future growth. The question now Is shall we limit the number of students by Increasing the entrance requirement and the charges, or shall we plan to increase the size of the laboratories, classrooms, shops and add new ones? We should not he compelled to turn away any young man who Is worthy. Important researches were made In the engineering and electrical laboratories during' the year and gifts were numerous. The National Electric Light Company contnnuted J1.050 for tests in photometry. The American Engineer gave $1,500 toward the expenses of investigations of locomotive stacks. The Kellogg Switchboard Company, Stromberg-Carlson Company. Automatic Telephone Company, Erlccson Telephone Company, Nunguesser Battery Company and Joseph T. Ryerson & Son contributed valuable apparatus. According to President Stone, the most urgent need of the university at present is some provision for the physical and social welfare of the students.

In few cases do men or women set up a standard of manly or womanly excellence and choose by it. In most cases peoplet become engaged as the result of pro-' pinquity rather than because of any deep rooted preference. And so it often happens that the wile enters upon the obligations of maternity just as thoughtlessly a s she entered on the marriage relation, because no one has warned her of the dangers she faces. Thousands of women become invalids for lack of knowledge of themselves. It is to this large body of women that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription comes as a priceless boon, because it cures womanly ills. Favorite Prescription n establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. "After my first child was born." writes Mrs, 2ordan Stout, of Pawcettgmp, Frederick Co . Vs.. my health was very poor for a long time, and last winter I was so bad with pain down in back I could hardly move without grest suffering. My husband got me a bottle of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription and a vial of his ' Pleasant Pellets.' which I used as directed. In four days I was greatly relieved, and now. after using the medicine three months. I seem to be entirely well. I can't see why it is that there are so many suffering women when there is such an easv way to be cured I know your medicines are the best in the world." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets the favorite family laxative. One ' Pellet ' a Uxaüvc, two ' Pclku ' a cathartic dose.
