BLACK Surveyor FREDERICK THOMPSON County Assessor WILLIAM WHITE Commissioner, First District EDWARD LAUD AM AN" Commissioner, Third District PHILIP SICKMAN The Chairmanship in Court That the courts hare decided and should decide in favor of W. G. Hendricks is not surprising to - anyone who has dispassionately considered the case. If ?fter the election two years ago the defeated Democrats- had calleld another election in Marshall county and had said: "Jones Grant, Monroe Steiner, Alva Forter and the other Republican candidates were elected bur we believe we have men thai ihej cannot beat, therefore all Demo crats are hereby called to meet at their respective voting places and elect other men to fill the places of these Republicans who were elected at the regular election," many people who now seem to think that such a proceeding is lawful, would have sail these Democrats are crazy. And if the Democrats had proceed ed to elect other men and had at tempted to take possession of the offices to wheih Grant, Steiner and Porter had eeri elected, without pre ferring any charges against these Republican officers elect, everybody knows that the courts would not have sustained them. Therefore the very momei t that a judge decided that the co irts had jurisdiction and that a coutuy chair man is an officer under the law, the chairmanship case was decided in favor of W. G. Hendricks. No man can bi elected to fill his position unless charges against him are preferred and prom and he is deprived of the office according to law. Merril Moores and Senator Parks arc not fools. They know this i trüe and they ought to be ashamtd to now talk about trying the. case before election commissioners. , ; The " convention held Saturday, Sept. 13, is the only Republican convention that las been h.ld in Marshal county this year and the candidates of that convention will go on the Republican ticket tinder the emblem of the eagle. State Chairman's Decision. -The Chronicle and the gang of bolters under its lead in this county are constantly declaring that the state committee decided against Hendricks. The matter has never been before the state committee, but State Chairman James P. Goodrich decided as follows: "As to the legality of the election of Mr. Hendricks we hold that the meeting held January the 13th, 1906, an as a legal meeting of the committee and in view of the fact that a clear majority of the committeemen present outside of the votes of Mr. Garn and Medourne were cast in favor of Mr. Hendricks for county chairman, he was therefore duly and regularly elected chairman of. the Marshall County Republican committee." We have this statement on file over his own signature. Many ills come from impure blood. C m't have pure blood with faulty digestion, lazy liver and sluggish bowels.

Governor Hanly'a Great Speech. At Tipton Monday night Governor J. Frank Hanly sounded the keynote of the Republican campaign in Indiana in a speech before one of the largest crowds that ever assembled in that county. The speech abounded in "meat" for the Republicans, but the executive did not spare either Democratic or Republican State officials in arraigning them for graft in office. Thomas Taggart, national chairman of the Democratic party, was at tacked in no uncertain terms becaust he sanctioned, at least, declared tU' Governor, the maintenance of gamb ling at French Lick. The Governor declares the law has been violated and in case Taggart is sustained b the Supreme Court the next Gencr il Assembly will have an opportun ity to enact a law governing such resorts. Governor Hanly referred to the cases of Ex-Stafe, Auditor Shcrrick and tex-Secretafy of State" Storms and Adjutant General Ward, set on the amounts for which each of these officios was short and pointed to tin fact that they had been recovered and turned into the treasury. Some excerpts from the speech are as follows: In addition to caring for the ma tcrial interests of the people and giving them a "business administration' the- man who administers govern mcnt in Indiana must stand for mor al worth, for the enforcement of the law which the people enact ,withou fear or favor, against all men alike the rich as well as the poor, the strong as well as the weak, the h;g! a$ well 'as the lowly. Is it not safer to trust an admin istration that has been tried than tc turn to those of whose conduct of af fairs you can now have no know! edge? Are not things done anc1 things in hand worth more than th sounding phrases of opposing plat forms? If the "expenses of public busines; and the burdens of the taxpayers" have increased, they have increased without a raise in the tax levy, fo 'he total State levy, including an in crease of 'G mills in the tuition levy and the educational institution lev; of 2 3-4 cents, is now but 31.35 cent on th; hundred dolalrs as against 3 cents in 1893 and 1894, the last tw levied under a Democratic administration. . . Acting in accord with executiv ecommendation, the late Genera"

Assembly enacted a private banking law. The law itself is defectiv? does not sufficiently provide for State supervision and inspection. Th law should be so amended as to giv the State such authority. Such sup ervision should be real and not nom ina!. The administration stood foand secured the present statute. I; stands for and hopes to secure th' amendment suggested. The number of persons aided b; township trustees show an annua' reduction since 1SD5 of 2a,S65, an " the expenditures for that purpose ar, average decrease of $337,192. This. it is true, may be partly due to tin prosperous condition of the country now and since 1S93, but in my judg ment, it is more largely due to th( series of poor relief laws affecting county and township business enact ed since 1895. In Ohio the 2-cent rate has result ed in an increased income and if the railway companies will cut out a' free transportation and make a fia' 2-cent rate in Indiana there is no reason why the experience should bdifferent here. For years that go beyond t!u memory of the present executive the custom of the receipt and accept ance of free railway privileges fron' ither quasi public corporations ha been developing. 'The administrative officers of (he .state have ceased to be brokers' offices for the dis.jensa toin of this favor, and they will no become such again under this admin istration. Ou the subject of our State insti tutions the administration ;tand: where Republican administration' have long stood. It stands for the lifting of these institutions from po litical control that the hel:le;s "children of the State" may hnvc just, (humane and efficient care: A New Election Law. The new election law approved March 4, 1903, makes it the duty or the county election commissioners to organize at 6 o'clock p. m. on the day of election as a board of can vassers in the county clerk's office to count the votes cast at such gen er election. The county clerk must keep his office open all night and the inspect ors of elections in every precinct must, as soon as the votes arc count ed for state and county officers takthe returns to' the county clerk's of fice immediately. Y; The -elWtioa (Commissioners', one of whom is the county clerk are au thorized to employ such clerical assistance as may be necessary to canVass ' the vote without delay; but one half of the clerks shall be Democrats and the other half Republi cans. The duties o f this board arc the same as when 'the, board consisted of the county clerk and inspectors under the old law. In this way it i? expected that all return. will' be received and the entire vote of the county will be canvassed and certified durnig the night following the election. It is important thatall election inspectors and other election officers as well as the electioa commissioners get a copy of the law and read it carefully, as the law is a new one and imposes duties that have to be performed immediately after the votes are counted in each precinct. Pimples call for immediate treat ment. There s nothing more . offensive and dreaded than a pretty face covered with eruptions.

MURDER TRIAL BEGINS.

Jury Selected at 10 O'clock Tuesday and Trial is in Progrest. From Tuesday's Daily. The twelve jurymen who are 'to hear the evidence and decide the-fate of Fred Rettinger were selected this, Thursday forenoon, it having required more than two days to make up the panel. Careful scrutiny was made of every one of the hundred names from which the jury was drawn. The panel was completed when court opened this morning, but several jurors that had been accepted and passed Wednesday were this morning excused. The jury is as follows: Samuel Beldon, Alonzo Stephenson and reter Heim of Center township, Warren O. McFarlin, Daniel Morlock, William F. Hamlet, Daniel Couts, and James M. Stuck of West, William B. Stull, Sylvester Unger, of Folk, Jacob Richard of Green and Edward Hawk of Union township. The crime for which Fred Rettinger is on trial for his life is one of the darkest tragedies in the criminal records of Marshall county. In the afternoon of May 12 last William Bates, 65 years oil was shot down in cold blood on the streets of Bourbon, and his son, Frank Bates, 32 years old was seriously wounded by Fred Rettinger. A fued had for some time existed between Rettinger and the Bates families, whose farms adjoin, two miles from Bourbon, and Rettinger alleged that the Bateses had poisoned his hogs, and there were other differences that added to the bad blood. 'Acting upon this supposition' Rettinger went to Bourbon on Saturday and procured two revolvers and awaited the appearance of Bates and his son. He saw the elder Bates in the door of Spencer's restaurant, and, without a word of warning, approached within a few feet of his victim, whipped out a re volver, took deliberate aim and fired at his heart. Bates, with a groan, fell ten feet backward, mortally wounded. Rettinger. then sought Frank" Bates, who was standing sev eral rods away, aci fired at him Bates took refuge in a restaurant and Rettinger followed, firing two more shots, Bates falling to the floor, a bullet having pierced his arm Thinking his victim was dead, Rettin ger attempted to escape, but was rounded up two miles distant and placed under" arrest. Meanwhile a telephone call' was sent to Sheriff Steiner, who immediately drove through to Bourbon Another message was sent to Ply mouth stating that the people were gathering for the purpose of lynch ing Rettinger and that it would be impossible to bring the prisoner here by train. When Sheriff Steiner at dark ar rived at Bourbon he saw the street; lined with' people m waiting. He drove around the outskirts of town to where the prisoner was held by deputies. Giving out to the crowd that, he would be at the train in 20 minutes with the prisoner, some 500 people in a fever heat of excitement ran to the station, the number, swell ing with each moment and awaiting only the sight of Rettinger toarouse the mob to instant action Sheriff Steiner, seizing th-; opportune mo ment, shouted to hi- prisoner to run to the buggy. P.ett'nrr, in dcadlv fear for his life, attempted to run, but being manacled hinds and feet, fell to the ground, and Steiner, shoulder ing his man, ran to the buggy and dumping him in the bottom, made a wild drive across the country while the mob was waiting at the train. . It was after dark when the sheriff with his prisoner arrived at the Marshall county . jail, and Rettinger, defiant and sullen, went, to a cell without a word', and has not manifested much apparent interest in his .fate from that time to, the present. Prosecuting Attorney Hayes, of that J. bnied deoa ma dayotdxooJP Bremen, made the opening address to the jury outlining briefly and con cisely what the state expected to prove. Mr. Hayes has a way of put ting things before a jury in very few words, that leaves what he says in the minds of his hearers.. The attorneys for Rettinger did not develop their line of defense,, but it is known that they will attempt to prove insanity , and will present all the evidence possible to palliate the crime. . The prisoner, neatly attired and toilet carefully made, sat between his two attorneys, Messrs. Parker and Stevens. His long confinement has bleached his skin. Rettinger. is a good-looking, intelligent man, about 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighs about 145 pounds. , He has large dark eyes, a high forehead and a sober, but not a serious expression on his face. He sits intent with his lawyers and takes observances of all that hi lawyers do, but notices no one eise and does not glance about the room. The first witness'was John Stafford aged 39,' mail agent at Bourbon. Sav Wm. Bates come out of meat shop on Main street in Bourbon; time about 4 in the afternoon, saw Rettinger on the street; saw him approach to. within two or three feet of Bates and shoot him with a revolver. Bates, fell backward into the gutter dead. Saw Rettinger fire three shots, two ojK three seconds 'apart; saw Rettinger have revolver In his hand when he fired each of the three shots; saw Bates fall in the gutter and he died immediately. Frank BaUs was standing about ten feet away, in a northwest' direction; that Rettinger ran into Spencer's restaurant; came out with revolver in his hand and exclaimed: "Therel I've'got two of the , and: I'm going after the other," and then ran north and out of town; pursued Rettinger for a. mile and a half; and with Deputy Plant, overtook jhim, where he was arrested, by Marshall Dafid Burns. When witness attempted-to tell -frf th--shooting bi Frank Bites, objections were interposed by the de fense 'and sustained by the judge. The discussions in regard to these objections took much time and the trial progressed slowly.

Attorneys for Defendant. The rules of the Republican state committee require that in a case of this kind no man Van be ousted until he is given due notice of the time and place of' the committee meeting to decide the case, and that both parties may submit affidavits and oral testimony before the committee. State Chairman Goodrich ruled in regard to other parties in this case that men elected to a position cannot be removed until charges are preferred and proven. No charges have been preferred against Chairman Hendricks and no notice has ever been given him that his posi.ioa would be considered or tried; by the state . committee. It seems that the attorneys for the bolters realize that they have no ca:c that will stand in. court and they are now threatening ; the election commissioners through their . mouthpiece Boys. They will, however, have these ame qusetions to answer before the election commissioners. The la aand the. evidence is all against them and their game, .of bluff is now play ed out.

Notes of the Murder Trial. . The prisoner has all confidence in his attorneys and is satisfied that they are conducting his case in the best manner possible. Deputy Robert Head places a handcuff on himself and his prisone. as he brings him in," and takes him from, the court-room. The general opinion in regard to the testimony of Dr. Terflinger of Longcliff hqspital for the insane seems to be that he did not benefit the defense. There arc t.bout 150 people down from Bourbon and vicinity each day. A large number of them drive here. Many drive in from Germm and Hourbon townships who are . either friends or acquanitances. pf the Bateses or the Rettinger's. Court Stenographer Swinehart is a fire little gentleman-and has the bus iest .'task, in the court-room. He regis ,lers in an undertone a kick when the judge holds court from 9 to 12 with out an intermission, and phrases vigorous. English, at the witnesses who insist on speaking in a minor key. Judge. Berenetha allowed the jury to go to their homes to spend Sun day, recognizing their desire to give directions for their farm work; but he carefully charged them against holding en Versation as to the trial wun any one. lne jurymen appre ciated the favor of going to' their homes. An attorney not connected with the case, sail he heard the testimony of Fred Rettinger Tuesday forenoon and he seemed to be the most intelli gent witnesss that had testified for the defense, and certainly seemed a great deal more sane and better in formed generally than his brother who was on the witness stand before him. ' , Saturday was a hard working day in court. The day was warm, the court room was packed and there was m the forenoon no recess. The attorneys and reporters had hard work to hear the witnesses, who all, with one exception, spoke in an undertone, and requests for them to speak louder were of no. avail. - The judge himself doesn't split the air when he talks. The Independent Monday evening said that Rettinger's attorneys will say that those who testified against the defendant are in the main saloon bums and that the man murdered belonged to that class. The Independent seems to have been trying to act as an; attorney for the defense ever since- the trial began, but Parker & Stevens will probably rule , it but when they make their speeches in favor of the defendant. It was thoughtful and kindly of Judge Bernetha, when Mrs. Rettinger left the witness stand Und was looking for a seat, to direct the bailiff to bring her a chair from the juryroo'in. , Mrs. Rettinger shows the marks of sorrow in every line of her face and it was evidently trying and painful for her to tell the story of the life of her boy. He had been h ;r, favorite child," shehad suffered fo'r him, and no wonder the aged and brokenhearted mother tried to shield her son and palliate as much as she could the story of his ilfe. She.'nior'e than any other one of the family, shows the mafks' of grief. : If,' was one of the severest strains upon her already bowed down life to meet and answer the questions affecting her son who had been the hope of her life. . , Lightning Harvested the- Fruit Lightning played a peculiar freik at Attica, Ind., . during a t evere storm.

November. The efforts of the bolters to destroy the party have come tq naught. ' ' ' t But the bolters are still clinging like grim death in their attempts to accomplish their purpose. Beaten in the courts, disgraced in the eyes of good ' people who have investigated their, claims, they still seem determined to continue their lying' 'and deception until the votes are counted. .'... a i um me muiiicui mm nicy mapped out their plans and started out with the statement that -they, were I authorized by Congressman - Rrick' and the state . committee to disrupt the Republican ,-, party- they.,; have waged a campaign of: falsehood ;tand deception and have refused to "join in plans of compromise. .nr They have lied as to their methods, lied about the decision of the courts, lied about the calls for conventions, and finally when the courts decided against them and there was still a chance to put only one Re-, publican ticket in the field for which all Republicans could votej they rushed to the county clerk's office and filed their ticket on the first day that they could do so, without giving the men nominated June 2, any; notice of their intertions.

The Good

'of The Store that which they, were placed by a ganj of bolters, who wished to use them for the accomplishment of selfish ends. There is one way, however, in which the real Republicans placed on the bolters' ticket can redeem themselves. They can vote the Republican ticket nominated at the regular Republican convention held September 13, 1906 and urge all their friends to do the same thing. If they will do this and refuse longer to be duped by these schemers and their paid attorneys, they can save their own reputations and the Republican party of Marshall county.
