LULL IN THE LYDA CASE.

The state in the Lyda murder case, now on trial before Judge Palmer in the White county cirruit court at Monticello, finished its evidence in chief a few minutes after 4 o’clock Monday afternoon. One of the principlal witnesses during the day was Miss Nora Goodwin, a niece of Elizabeth Lyda. The witness said that she heard Mrs. Lyda protest against the holding of a postmortem examination after the death of her husband, declaring that she did not wish to see him butchered. The witness also testified to hearing Starr Cox say that Mr. Lyda’s death might have been caused by Dr. Mavity giving him the wrong medicine. At the conclusion of the state's testimony, George P. Haywood addressed the jury in behalf of the defendants. He presented his side of the case in a concise and convincing manner, and declared that the defense would show that the state had resorted to the introduction of perjured evidence. Mr. Haywood closed his statement at 5:45 o’clock and the court adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock. —LaFayette Morning Journal.

Gov. Mount thinks Purdue university is getting away from the purpose for which it was founded. He said Monday: “That school was founded to teach agriculture and mechanics. Instead, it is paying more and more attention all the time to high school work and work intended to fit for classical courses. I may touch on this in my coming message to the legislature.”

Notwithstanding his rebuff at the hands of the last legislature, Gov. Mount will make some more suggestions on the subject of agriculture in his message. He will ask that the appropriation of $5,000 for the assistance of farmers’ institutes be increased. He says that in no surrounding state is the appropriation for institutes less than $12,000. With a little more money, the governor says, more institutes could be held and more and better instructors secured, having an immediate good effect on the science of agriculture in the state.
