With th-- fading from memory of the enmities enfen lered by forty years of county seat war In Jackson county, Krownstown. the county seat, is attracting the attention it deserves by reason of Its location, its natural facilities and the rich resources of the surrounding country, and is taking an active part in the prosperous growth of the County. Jackson county is located about seventy miles directly south ot Indianapolis. It 1 of r-ctangular shape. Th- east fork of white river enters the northeast corner nd flow through it in a southwesterly direction, forming two triangular districts, which are for the most part unlike in topography and geological f. a tuns In the southeast district the country is mostly roUln. with low. sanov hills, fifty to 1J0 feet high. TN northwest district is b;.!v -n and is traversed la .! botUw sstcrly and southwesterly direction by ridges that nave an average elevation of several hundred feet. The valleys through which the small stream And th lr way to White river are generally narrow. Along White river and bottom lands are wide and very product: v From the best authorized information, Ffter Adrian settled with his family in the county in 105. and with him the first authentic settlement of the county begins.

Every part of the county Is thoroughly connected by telephone. Three railroads pass through it th- Pennsylvania Louisville division), the 1 & O. a. W. Railway and the Southern Indiana.

GILLESPIE TRIALS ARE PUT OVER TO MAY TERM

When you next take tea, think of this. Tea contains 175 grains of Uric Acid In every pound. Meat contains only five to seven grains. Rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood. Uric Acid accumulates from food when the digestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralize it. This Acid collects urea, or worn-out waste matter, from the system. That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline action has not pn vlously dissolved it. By and by the waste matter reaches the Joints and muscles, through circulation of the blood. There it gradually deposits in solid particles, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between the Joints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes irritation and pain. These in turn may develop inllammation and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. She proceeds to c at the hard Uric particle over with cushions of pulpy mucous, like the first healing strata of an outer Bore. This pulpy covering grows to the bones, as W"ll as to the particles deposited. There It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then we have "bony joints." almost inflexible, and usually fixed in a bended position, from the pain and inflammation. That Is Rheumatism at its worst. It is bad enough before it gets that far. There is but one ure way of curing Rheumatism. The first step is to neutralize the Uric Acid already in the system. Next, to dissolve and carry away the hard deposits that grind between the Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus into such healthy condition that it will, unaided, produce less Uric Acid, and more Alkalines. This is what doctors generally have failed to do. It is what 1 studicl a lifetime to accomplish, and achieved only after many failures and thousands of experiments. At last I found. In Germany, a solvent which was not only effective, but absolutely safe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be effecthe in Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now called "Dr. Shoops Rheumatic -i;re." acts directly, hut Internally, upou Uric Acid in the joints and muscles. It dissolves and carries off the painful deposits, producing an immediate Alkaline condition of the blood, and neutralizing the Acid in it which would have fed the Rheumatism and extended the disease. It won't restore bony Joints to flexibility, and It i an t undo, in a week, the damage Caused by years of rheumatic condition. But it will benefit every case, and it will entirely cure most cases of Rheumatism.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ka.NO SUN. Ind., March 8. In the Elizabeth Gillespie murder case the court this morning sustained the demurrers of the State to the defendants' pleas in abatement and also overruled defendants' motion to quash the indictment for murder in the first degree. Congressman F. M. Griffith, on behalf of James Gillespie and the other defendants, asked the court to continue the trial until the next term of court, convening in May. The ground for continuance was stated to be the serious sickness of John B. Coles, principal attorney for the defense. The court granted the continuance and James Gillespie was remanded to jail without bail, while the other defendants. Myron D. Barbour, Belle Seward and Carrie Barbour, were allowed bail as filed at the December term. The court explained why he had overruled the plea in abatement of the defense and sustained the demurrer of the prosecution. In the plea of abatement the defense alleged that undue influence had been used by the prosecution in the grand jury room. It was also asserted that newspaper reporters and deputy prosecuting attorneys had used undue influence with witnesses in the now famous case. The defense claimed thnt Rodman L.. Davis and C. W McMulleii. who acted as deputy prosecuting attorneys, had not been legally installed in those positions and that they had no right in the grand Jury room before or after that body had reported its finding. The court held, however, that the plea In abatement was too general In its character and not specific. He therefore overruled it and Congressman Griffith noted exceptions It Is Just three months to-night since Elizabeth Gillespie was assassinated at her home in this city.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSV1LLE, Ind., March S. Both sides rested in the Gregg alienation-

, of-affection suit at 11 o'clock this morning.

and arguments were beguu at once. Benjamin Crane opened for the plaintiff, and will be followed by the four attorneys for the defense. harles McCabe will close for th. plaintiff. The arguments will last about eight days. Mrs. June Gregg was the first person on the stand this morning. She said she never tld Mrs. Sarah Gregg that she was going to commit suicide, altnough sne may have said that she "had as leave be dead as to keep up the fusses" with the defendant and her son. The plaintiff succeeded in securing the admission, as evidence, of a postscript to a letter George Gregg sent to his wife on Oct. 24. 1S99, which said that he had been talking over their troubles with his mother, who now could see where June had been kind to hert and that she would not fuss with her any more. This was considered an important point. The defense put George Gregg on the stand, and he denied statements of the plaintiff as fast as the questions could be put to him, a'ways with some qualifications to strengthen his denials. The evidence has been three weeks in being introduced, and the courtroom had been tilled every day during that time with

f both men and women, all eager to hear all

of the family quarrel. Society has been at a standstill on account of the trial, and the cab meu are glad the case is over, so things will again begin to move.
