fSpecial to The Indianapolis News.l Sh cl by vllle, Incl-. March IS.—That JuAye L. j. Hackney intendw to make a fight in this county for the Aftlogartes to the State convention has been known by the taeuing of a ctncuhar by Mr. Hackney, which la now being prepared for mailing to the Democratic voter* tn this county. While the circular is addressed to the Democrats of Shelby county, it is, doubtless, intended to roach the Democrat* in the 8na*tft, as it clearly defines the attitude assumed by Judge Hackney two years ago. Judge Hord has been claiming in bis cards that Hackney did not vote for Bryan, and for the first time Hackney now says he voted for Brywn. It ha» aloe been told by Hord and other* that the tU'kot of Judge Hackney, two year* ago. was marked for the purpose' of Identification, and that by this moans it was ascertained that Hackney voted for MciHaley. The inspector of the election bmrd in the predtaot where Judge-Hactaiey lives Is Mr. John Greer, a Democrat, and a leading buntneos man of this city. He is now a candidate for the office of county commissioner the primary to be held on Saturday of this week. The assertion that Mr. Greer marked Judge Hackney’* ballot placed him under the charge of having committed a felony. In order to setfure an ex ones si on from him tn regard to the marking of the ballot cast by Judge Haukney, The News asked Mr. Greer If the ballot was marked. He rvplied that he had hoped that this matter would not be pressed until after the primary, as he did not cane to let a factional fight enter Into his canvass, but, said Mr. Gseer. "I did not mark Judge Hackney's ballot. It was net marked, and I do not know how Judge Hackney voted. After the primary I Intend to write a card saying it was not marked.” This statement by Greer will be accepted by the people of Shelby county, regardless of party, for ha la a good, substantial citizen. Judge Hackney's Card. The card of Judge Hackney is as

follow*:

TTo the Democrat* of Shelby County— It is with special pride that 1 recall the fact of never having sought your support that you did not give it to me. It la also with confidence in your sense of justice that I address you now. I feel that In no Instance have I abased your confidence, or neglected, dishonored of lowered the service in any position to Which you have chosen me. In any relation to the Democratic party, or as a •arvant of the people, I am' willing to tsbmlt my conduct to the candid Jndgment of all honest and unbiased minds. I am not willing, however, to accept the dictation of Judge Hord, who now, and in the past, has assumed to boss the Democrats of Shelby county, and It remains to be determined whether you will accept bis malicious falsehoods against me, and whether you will surrender to his bossism or will fairly decide for yourselves. Judge Hord, a personal enemy of mine, wtyle branding me a bolter, has published repeatedly that 3,000 Shelby county Democrats are bolters, and will'I*)t vote for me If I am nominated. He speaks for himself, no doubt, as he bolted rtiy nomination for circuit judge, and then, as now, gave the Republicans all the aid and comfort in his power. I do not concede that he speaks for the Democratic party, or that he can require 8,000 Democrats in this county to become bolters at his command. “He now demands that Shelby county shall send delegates to the State convention pledged to support his stool-pigeon, Lee Wilson, or. In any event, to oppose me for renomination, that he may comply with his contract to vote Shelby county for a candidate from the Ohio river. His demand is based upon the charge that I voted for McKinley. If this charge were true, I ought to be opposed, not, however, because he makes the demand, nor becanse he is the guardian of the Democratic party, but because I should then be unworthy. The Okarge Absolutely Yntrue. “1 admit that I did not agree with all of the policies declared by the Chicago convention, but that I allowed such fact to control me to vote for McKinley or against Bryan, or that I would so allow it hereafter, Is unqualifiedly false. That no one may mistake me, I say, unequivocally, that J voted for Bryan, and will do so again If he is the Democratic nominee. If my belief on the money question was a political crime, how Is Judgo Hord less guilty? It Is a wellknown fact that he was an out-and-out ‘gold bug/ Did he change his judgment, or simply change his expressions? Did be change his convletioee, or simply shut his eyes to them? In voting I waived my convictions on the money question, refusing to accept many more objectionable elements in McKlnleyism, and I shall not believe that Judge Hord did more. “One fact confirming my statement is that I contributed 3100 to the county Democratic committee and a much larger sum to the State committee for the campaign of 18M. This fact is not denied by my enemies, and why should I have aided a cause against which I «xpooled to vote? “The feeling of Judge Hord toward me, and the 1fttie encouragement to me to aid in the campaign, was manifested when I sent to the county executive committee, of which he was the head, JM of my contribution, and which he caused to be returned to me with an insulting letter. This feeling was aguan demonstrated when I sent the committee 3100 and an offer to contrtburte more If. at the close of the campaign, there dhould be a deficit, and he then used •very effort to repeat the insult, but •ould not control the committee. He continued to repeat the falsehood that McKinley's picture had been in my window after he knew M was a fatoehood. I was never asked by him, os I am told be dairne. to participate In any private dr public meeting of the ‘party. As •arly as IJho State convention he and his Shadow, Led^wllsoiii told the delegation from his county the falsehood that I was ••eking to “set up" a committee tn favor of Thomas Taggart's continuing as a delegate to that convention. It is plain to me. and mute be to one knowing the facts, that Judge Hord was, during the •ampalgn, manufacturing an opportunity for the assault upon me which he now

Stakes.

The Scott Ray Card. “The Scott Ray card and agreement, written by Lee Wilson, according to his own statement, and not by Mr. Ray. a of which, for some mysterious „, has been suppressed, proves an •arty plan by Hord and Wilson to attack me. “Another fact confirming my statement Is that I bed the Sheltoyvtlle Democrat, in the midst of the campaign, to publish the foilowing as to my position and am to oome of the falsehoods circulated walim me. Under dote September 86. 1896, the Democrat published the following interview, the head-lines alone omlt"Judge Hackney waa asked by the IVmomomlng. what he had to say as

an active part in the campaign, and that is that the press, the peDple, campaign committees, candidates and judge*, deem it imprudent that member*, of the Supreme Court should participate in the heated struggles of political cam pal f(»». and the best thought is that they should keep their minds, as far as possible, free ffom party bias. I know

there have been raiie violations of this duty, probably not more than one :n the history of this State, but ( do not think any personal or political friend of mine would desire me to violate it. Some time since Chairman Sutton and I talked of this, and he agreed with me. Farther Corrolsoratlve Evidence. “In addition to this, and before the election. I stated ray intention to vote for Bryan to such Democrats in Shelby county as John Dobtoina, Joseph McBride, Elijah Ballard, Edward A. Major, Henry Friday, Hovrard Lee, John Beggs, R. H. Thrall, Wlllisim J. Buxton, Henry Beggs, Henry Oltmon, Elrton Green, Julius Joseph, Jonas. Joseph, Joseph D. Lacey, J. E. West, Thomas Fortune, E. Worth Wilson, George Mullendore, J. L. Carson and many othezs I could name, as well as very many at Indianapolis and elsewhere. “Hord and WSlson, to contradict this evidence, depend upon a bald assertion that I voted for McKinley. I know how I voted and they do not. They seek to support their assertions by claiming privately and insinuating publicly that the inspector of my precinct marked my ballot, and In canvaestrvg the vote Identified ft. The inspector insists that this claim is false, and, being a business man of character, he oould not have been guilty of the felony which that act would have constituted. He had denied this charge to the Hon. S. L. Vanpelt, James DickersAn, Oonrad Schroeder and

others.

“My enemies have sought to prejudice you against me by changing that I had been In a conspiracy as between candidates for county office. This charge, like that as to my voting, is basely false, and they, after charging it through the Republican for three weeks*, published a card in the Democrat giving the lie to their own charge by saying that I tried to form such a conspiracy. That I so tried I denounce as unconscionably false. “I have delayed making this statement,, and in some respects now omit details, because I do not want my Interests to affect tbe nomination of county candidates. I want no breach in the ranks of the Democratic party, and have avoided taking up the bitter attacks of Judge Hord upon me, that It might not be said that I was distu.Niing the harmony of the party. I have no desire to destroy because men dislike or disagree with me. Only Honorable Conclaoloa. “It seems to me that only cne honorable conclusion can be reached, and that is that the personal enmity of Judge Hord and Lee Wilson is the only basis for ajl of the bitterness and falsehood Involved against me. In this county Hord is known, and it is known that ne opposes men who can not be used by him, and supports only those whom he believes may serve him. “I do not doubt that his cunning, his plausibility, his malice and his other resources will be employed to control your action, but I ask the candid Judgment of unbiased Democrats, and the selection, on March 26, of men as delegatee to the Staite convention who will not become his tools, to be voted simply as be dictates. Whatever the result. Judge Hord and Lee Wilson can not drive me from the Democratic party. “The issue of my nomination has become a question with the party of the State, as will be observed from the press clippings found below. Respectfuly, etc., "LEONARD J. HACKNEY.” Following this series of declaration are clippings from many Democratic newspapers in the Skate concerning the trouble that has been agitating the Democrats of the State since the publication by Judge Hord of the letter left bv W. SI. Ray, which was the starting point that finally led to Judge Hackney, the Indianapolis Sentinel and John W. Kern being read out of the Democratic party by the Bryan Free Silver Club, Kern’s name being expunged from the resolutions after they were in type and in the forms of the Democrat for publication. During the last few days there has been constderabie reaction in this county In favor of Judge Hackney. o — Two Voices. A SOlTTHERN VOLUNTEER. Ye*. »ir.

SUPREME COURT RECORD.

Abstracts of Opinions Handed Down March 17, 1898.

Marriage — Voluntary ConveyanceFraud. 18,355. 'William A. Bookout vs. Nan Bookout. Henry C. C. Affirmed. Jordan, J. (1) Marriage is considered a valuable consideration, and a wife the purchaser for a valuable consideration of all property which accrues to her by virtue of her marital rights. (2) Where a man has represented to his prospective wife the amount of his property as an inducement to the marriage, a secret voluntary conveyance by him of his lands on the eve of bis marriage operates as a fraud upon his wife, and can not serve to deprive her 6pon his death of her interest therein as his widow, but she can successfully assert the same interest as 11 no such conveyance had been made. Action by Guardian — 'Waste —Injunction. 18.447. Susan Kinsley, guardian, vs. Marcus M. Kinsley. Shelby C. C. Reversed. Howard, J. (1) An action to enjoin the commission of waste upon an infant’s real estate and to recover damages for injuries thereto may be maintained in the name of the Infant’s guardian who has actual possession of the ward's estate. (2) Sections 255 and 256, R. S.. 1881, authorizing an infant to sue in his own name by next friend, do not prohibit other forms of action in favor of infants and their estates. (2) A guardian is charged with the right and duty to protect his ward's property and can maintain all necessary suits for that purpose.

APPELLATE COURT.

Practice—Conditional Sale—Divorce. 2.358. John W. Frederick vs. Orrie Sault. Marion S. C. Affirmed. Robinson, C. J. (1) What information a witness should possess before testifying as to values is not settled by any definite rule. (2) A judgment will not be reversed because of the admission of evidence as to value unless there was no evidence tending to prove the witness qualified to give It, or there was a palpable abuse of discretion in admitting his evidence. Its weight is a question for the Jury. (3) The gift to a third person of an article which the giver has purchased upon condition that the title sfaall remain in the seller until it is fully paid for. may estop such giver to dispute the title of that third person after tbe balance of the purchase price has been paid in full. (4) An agreement for the division of property between a husband and wife, conditioned upon a divorce being granted to one of them, is contrary to public policy, and binds no one. (5) A decree granting tbe wife a dlyorce. with alimony, does not affect her separate property. The alimony comes out of her husband’s property alone. Practice—Joint Debt—Attachment. 2,190. Capital City Dairy Co. vs. Hiram Plummer et al. Marion S. C. Affirmed. Henley. J. (1) Where the judge certifies that the bill of exceptions containing the evidence was presented to him for his signature on a certain day, and the record shows that the long-hand manuscript of the evidence and the bill of exceptions were both filed two days later, the evidence Is not in the record, and can not be considered. (2) If a personal judgment against one of several joint debtors is taken in an attachment proceeding without an adjudication of the claim for an attachment, it amounts to an abandonment of tbe attachment lien, and the debt !» merged in the judgment. (3) The other Joint debtors who were not summoned and did not appear, can only be held liable after such a judgment against a single joint debtor has been taken by proceedings under Section 321, R. S.. 1881. Executed Contract—Notice of Resale 2.383. Wilham P. Dill vs. William R. Mumford et al. Lawrence C. C. Reversed. Black. J. (1) Where the seller seeks to hold the purchaser liable for the difference between the contract price of wheat that bad been delivered by shipment to such purchaser and sending him the bill of lading, and the sum realized from a resale upon the refusal of the purchaser to accept the wheat, he must show that proper notice of the re-sale was given to the purchaser after the seller re-took possession of it. (2) The giving of such notice is a material element in the cause of action which must be stated in the complaint. (3) In reviewing the action of the trial court upon a demurrer to the complaint, this court can not look to the evidence to supply omissions therein. A LARGE MOTORCYCLE.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Bloomington, Ind., March 18.—-The term row closing has been one of the most satisfactory in the history of Indiana- The attendance to date is seventy larger than this time last year, which insures an attendance for the year of more than a thousand. The work in all departments has gone forward -without even a ripple to disturb it. The quality of the work, the social ehjoyments. the pleasant relations between the faculty and students and the increasing attendance have served to make the student l>ody more enthusiastic and loyal than ever before. For several years from six to ten members of the faculty have received leave of absence each year to study in other Institutions. While the instructors thus studying are without salaries, and whol1 ly on their own expenses, their enthusiasm makes them anxious to continue* their special studies in the best American and European institutions. This custom will be continued this year. The Rev. Samuel R. Lyons, secretary of the board of trustees, has filed his resignation, to take effect August 1. Mr. Lyons has been an active and Influentia. member of the board for seven years. He has accepted the presidency of Monmouth College, and will begin his new duties with the opening of ttfe next college year. The Summer School. The attendance last year was 344, and the increase this year already has been such that if the attendance for the coming spring torm is the some as the last spring, the total will exceed the thousand mark. Preseht indications are, however, that the attendance next term will far exceed that of the corresponding term lest year. The correspondence was never heavier than It is now. The summer school promises to be unusually large. The session Will begin June 15, and will be six weeks in length. Work will be offered in seventeen courses, and, with few exceptions, tq<* Instruction will be given by the heads of departments. The sum mer school was established in 1890, with an attendance of thirty, and this number has gradually grown until last year it reached 259. The number of graduate students this year is larger than ever before. More than ninety graduates of Indiana University. or institutions of similar rank; are doing post-graduate work. During the last few terms a series of sermons has been given on Tuesdays and one of general lectures on Fridays. On those days the four morning hours are divided into five periods, and the sermons and lectures are given during the third period. A chapel quartet furnishes excellent music for the Tuesday exorcises, and on Fridays the musical program is of a varied nature. The religious exercises for the term have been as follows: January 11, the Rev. Harry N. Mount, Oxford, Ind.; January 8, the Rev. E. R. Schell, secretary Epworth League of America; January 25. the Rev. M. G. Allison, Bloomington, Ind.; February 1, the Rev. M. L. Haines, Indianapolis; February 8, the Rev. Charles H.

One of the featuree has been a Bible normal training class of twenty members, under the instruction of Prof. William Lowe Bryan. The members of this class are specially instructed in the best methods of teaching the Bible. In the university are fourteen Bible classes, which meet at the students’ rooms on Sunday mornings, and these are taught chicsfly by those who are members of Professor Bryan’s class. The devotional meetings of the Y. M. C. A. axe held Wednesday evenings and of the Y. W. C. A. on Friday afternoons. Eight prayer-meetings are held in the students’ rooms by the Y.| M. C. A. twice a week. The joint meetings of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will be held next term on Wedi esday evenings. On Sunday afternoons a large class of men and women give careful study to the subject of missions. At the retent meeting of the Students’ Volunteer Convention in Cleveland, O., the delegates from Indiana University v. ere Messrs. Robert Elijah Newland and Charles Nathan Combs and Miss Maud Plunkett.

Already the club has received invitations tor the summer tor one week at the Miami Valley Chautauqua, two weeks at Lexington, Ky., and one week at Bay View’. The addition of the guitar and mandolin club this year Is a decided attraction. Mr. Charles Norman Hassler is the director and Mr. Ehner Finley Mahan the busine.*s manager of the club. Workmen are busy leveling and grading the athletic field northeast of the men’s gymnasium. A large amphitheater, for use for both baseball and football contests, will be erected, a running track and gridiron will be made in due

time, and the Athletic Association will | soon have an ideal athletic field. Tennis courts are now being prepared, and stu- j dents are showing more interest in this game than in former years. About forty applicants have presented themselves for positions on the baseball team, and coach Cornerman and Captain Pitcher are confident that the ’98 team will be a winner. Dr. Copeland has been coaching the track athletic candidates, and the outlook for good material for the field day contests is b?tter than ever before. For several years Indiara University has furnished more institute instructors than any other institution in the State. Fifteen members of the faculty will engage in institute work this year, and already the number of engagements for the next season is larger than formerly. During his four years’ service.

Standard OH C«. Make* no Use of the Land* It Leased.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Flora. Ind., March 18.—Last fall the representatives of the Standard Oil Company and a Peru company appeared in this county and began leasing land, saying they would drill for oil, and that work would be begun not later than January 1. Not a drill has been started, and much dissatisfaction is expressed by those who have leased their land. The majority of the leases run for a long term of years. Those familiar with the operations of the Standard OH Company believe they do not now nor never did Intend to start a drill in this county. The leases are a menace to the title of the property and suits are threatened to clear the titles, if work is not begun soon. ‘ There are about 6,000 acres leased. By not drilling the wells and holding the leases the company can prevent others from drilling, and, having leases all over the State and other States, they can control the output of oil, much to their financial gain. Quarter* for the G. A. R. People. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] Columbus, Ind., March 18.—The executive committee met last night and the headquarters for the different orders attending the encampment here in May were reported. The headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic will be at the City Hall, the Ladies of the G. A. R. at the Knights of Pythias Hall, the Women's Relief Corps at the Meffhodlst church, the Sons of Veterans at the south court-room and the Ladies’ Aid Society at the north court-room.

“ MliUPORIMUm Which Permits of Only One Honest Answer.

This unavoidable question has to be answered honestly by Indianapolis people after they have read the opinions given below by Mr. I. Lemmons, of 824 Bradshaw strict, real estate dealer, which of a dozen articles all making the same claims can I depend upon most, one indorsed by people well known in Indianapolis or eleven indorsed by utter strangers? Read this and compare the evidence with other staremonts about other Sidney remedies published side by side with it in the columns of tills paper. Mr. Lemmons says: “My kidneys troubled mo for years. When stooping or doing any hard work, it always caused mj back to ache. There was a kidney weakness that was annoying. The secretions were irregular in every way, and I suffered a great deal from other complications. I was treated by physicians, and used lots of medicines, but never .had one which did me so much good as Doan's Kidney Pills, which I procured at Henry J. Huder’s drug store. Shortly after I had used one box I passed two gravel stones, and on showing them to a physician, he said they were the largest he ever saw that had passed without an operation. My back is stronger since taking Dean's Kidney Pills, and the weakness is relieved. I am feeling better to-day tl an I have in years.

Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure,

The Great Heart and Blood Tonic,

The Most Reliable Medicine Known.

Heart disease, in its early stages, yields readily to judicious treatment by Dr. Miles’ system of Restorative Remedies. Cases of many years standing require prolonged treatment to effect a permanent cure. Advanced organic disease of the heart can not always be cured, but Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure will check its progress, render the patient comparatively comfortable and prolong life many years. The symptoms of heart disease are unmistakeable. Shortness pf breath, palpitation; irregular or intermittent pulse; weak or hungry spells without appetite; smothering spells: cold feet and hands, indicating impaired circulation, dropsical swellings of the feet and ankles, etc., all indicate a weak or defective heart and seldom result from any other cause. If one or

more of these symptoms are present, do not attribute it to other possible causes. It is heart disease. Heart disease never cures itself, but constantly grows worse. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure has cured thousands; it will cure you.

benefited that all the painful symptoms are things of the past.”
