THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM
Entered at Richmond Postofflca as Swcond Class Matter
MONDAY MORNING, RICHMOND, IND. jnTT ASK A REOPENING OF TERRELL CASE Attorneys for Bluffton Murderer, Now in Easthaven, Ask for New Trial. CASE IS ALL MIXED UP STATE WILL PROBABLY ATTEMPT TO AVOID ANOTHER HEARING ON GROUND THAT HE IS HOPELESSLY INSANE. John W. Terrell, the Wells county murderer, who has been an inmate of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the insane, this city, for more than four years, is to be the subject of a queer legal controversy resulting from the indefatigable efforts of his relatives to secure his release from the hospital by means of a new trial ou the charge of having slain in cold blood, his son-in-law. Since Terrell landed in Easthaven four years ago, he has never given the slightest indication of a return of intelligence. At first it was openly charged that Terrell was feigning insanity and that the fact would be detected, but it did not take long for the corps of physicians at the institution to determine that Terrell was insane and 'probably hopelessly so. About a year ago steps were taken at Bluffton, the county seat of Wells county to re-open the Terrell case but plans miscarried for some cause and until Saturday no further action was taken. On Saturday, with the object in view of bringing their client to trial again, a motion was made in the Wells circuit court before Judge C. E. Sturgis by R. W. Stine, of Bluffton, and Jay Ilindman, of Hartford City, attorneys for Terrill, asking that the case be redocketed and set for trial. Prosecuting Attorney A. G. Emshweiler, of Hartford ' City, did not know that any such steps was contemplated and was not present in court, and the only attorney" for the State present was Charles G. Dailey, deputy prosecuting attorney, who had not been in the case at the original trial and was not informed in the matter. 'He did not know that the motion was to be filed until after he arrived at the court room a few minutes before court convened, and the only step he was prepared to take was to .file an exception and the redocketing of the case will be argued later. The state probably will endeavor to avoid a new trial on the grounds that Terrell is insane and, that an insane man cannot: be tried on a criminal charge, and that such trial in Terrell's present condition would be a useless expense- to the county. Case all. Mixed Up. The famous case is now in a most complicated condition. Terrell was tried and sentenced to prison for life, became insane before sent to the penitentiary and was brought upon the governor's orders to the Richmond asylum instead of being taken to prison. His appeal to the Appellate court resulted in, a reversal of the lower court by the order to quash the indictment. This left the case in the Fame position as thougn it had never been txied and made Terrell a free man so far as the first indictment and trial was concerned. The state then went on the belief that it was necessary to reindict Terrell and give him another trial should he again become sauei The defense '"- held that the quashing of the old affidavit left him still in the hands of the state with no new indictsient and no rearrest necessary. They contended that so long as there Is a charge of murder lodged against him he is . entitled to a trial. RECENT INVENTIONS. An engineer of Frankfort. Germany, has invented nn automatic postage tamp selling machine which not only sells the stamps, but sticks them on the letters. The machine possesses the additional advantage of being Impossible to rob. An invention of Frsiu Antoinette Arntzen's and one exhibited at the retent musical exposition in Berlin confists of a method of increasing: the resonance of the voice by inserting a film under the roof of tbe mouth, making a sort of sounding board. Tbe apparatus Is Intended for the use of orators, officers, sea captains, etc., as well na for sincers. SCIENCE SIFTINGS. It has been estimated that terrestrial days are lengthening at the rate of about half a second a century. Lightning is zigzag because as It condenses the air in the Immediate advance of its path It flies from side to side In order to pass where there Is the least resistance to its progress. Before long the students of geography will have to add a new river to the list of streams In Africa. The Duke of the Abruzzi, who has been exploring the region of the Mountains of the Moon, has found a river tho marked on no existing maps.

Saloon Forces of Richmond May Now go Ahead With Work Already Accomplished in the Fifth Ward. Now that the Indiana Supreme : Court has passed upon the validity of ; the Moore temperance law, holding ! that the blanket remonstrance may legally be used to oust saloons from a certain city ward or a township in any county, the temperance forces in Richmond and in other cities where the blanket remonstrance has been used with a greater or less degree of success, feel doubly encouraged to proceed. There were some misgivings following the action here some montns ago, wnen a Firth ward j saloon was knocked out, because or ! tne Deiier mat the Moore law might at some time be knocked out by a Supreme Court decision. It was hinted at the time of the crusade in the Fifth ward, that the temperance forces had their eye on one and perhaps two other wards in the city which thej- hoped might be freed of saloons and It is understood that some action of this sort is likely to be taken up shortly. The forces which lead in this movement, however, make no an nouncement of their purpose until the remonstrances are in readiness for circulation. LAW POINTS. Tbe right of a wife to make a valid gift causa mortis of all her property, thereby depriving her husband of any distributive share therein, is upheld in Wright versus Holmes (Me.), 3 L. R. A. (N. S.), TGO. An Injury to the hand, superinduced by numbness resulting from using It as a head rest during sleep, is held in Aetna Life Insurance company versus Fitzgerald (Ind.), 1 L. R. A. (N. S.), 422, to be covered by Insurance against injuries through external and adcidental means. An agreement by a partner that the goods of the firm may be paid for by the customer in commodities furnished for the partner's own benefit Is held, in Eady versus Newton Coal and L. company (Ga.). 1 L. R. A. (X. S.), 650, to be void as beyond the scope of the partner's anarent authority. ANIMALODDITIES. The siren, or mnd eel, has both gills and lungs. The chiton, a mollusk, has 11.000 separate eyes. A seal has been known to remain under water twenty-flve minutes. Beavers have been known to construct a dam no less than 1,530 feet In length. A species of bee called the "clothier" covers its nest of eggs with a cloth made from the woody fiber of plants and ti.us preserves Its young from sudden change of temperature.
CONNECTION WITH I. C.
IS NOW A POSSIBILITY. It is Said That Right of Way From Milton to Connersville is to be Surveyed for Electric Line This Week. Richmond has special interest in the proposed eleatric line between connersville and aiaton tor tne rea- ; son that if the line is built as now sideration and at one time just previous to the sale of the local property to the syndicate that now controls the several electric lines oanected with the Indianapolis and Eastern and the Dayton and Western systems, preparations were to build to Connersville. Today, according to 'advices from Connersville a civil engineer and a corps of assistants will begin the' survey from Connersville to Milton, the right-of-way will be purchased im mediately thereafter and early next spring the actual construction will be gin. "The distance is less than fifteen miles. This line will form a connec ting link between two systems that are operated independently of each other. MM BE LAST FAIR FOR SOME YEARS Although Financial Success, Elks Feel that Such Event Is Too Much Work. SOME FORTUNATE PERSONS A FEW OF THOSE MADE HAPPY BY THE EVENT HELD IN COLISEUM IMPORTANT MEEVING THURSDAY NIGHT. The Elks' Fair is a memory and probably ever will be so, for the lodge members who labored faithfully for the success of two such events, feel that it will be a long time, if ever, before another project will be taken up of this, character. The fair was a success in all particulars, but it is not likely that the lodge will know just how It stands until next Thursday night, when the report of the executive committee will be presented at the regular session. A partial audit of the receipts and expenses show that while the receipts during the week were somewhat in excess of the receipts of the fair three years ago, the expenses were very much greater, flue to various causes, principally to the fact that the enterprise was carlied out on a more pretentious scale Thursday night a formaI discussion of the proposition to take steps to insure a permanent home for the 1 seal lodge of Elks will take place Some of the Fortunate. Among a large number of persons who were so fortunate as to receive some of the Elks' gifts, were Charles Skinner, cooking range; George Bay-' er, silver set; Will Bell, fur robe; Miss June Elmer, fur robe; Henry nulla, fur robe: Bob Weidner. turkev Frank Coffin, table; and Albert Morei table. The Elk's principal glf the Starr Player Piano, will be presented to some fortunate person one night this week, the date to be announced later. SIRES AND SONS.

GIVING HIS BOOM SERIOUS THOUGHT
Charles Shiveley Has Received Much Encouragement to Run for Governor. HIS SUPPORT VOLUNTARY FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE, IT IS SAID, ARE URGING RICHMOND MAN TO TRY FOR THE PLACE. With two possible aspirants for. the gubernatorial nominations at the hands of their respective parties, Richmond is looming up on the political horizon of Indiana, despite the fact that more than two years must elapse before the gathering of either party in mass convention to select their leaders on the State ticket for 19.08. Charles E. Shiveley is being spoken of as a possible candidate for governor, when the Republican State convention is held two years hence, and its has been known for several weeks that the -Rev. T. H. Kuhn whose hot chase of Cong f ssman Watson in the recent election caused so much talk, is being urged by leaders in his party to make the try for the nomination of governor. It Is asserted that Mr. Shiveley's friends are already at work planning for his political future in" connection with the gubernatorial plum, and it also is declared that some of the lead ing Republicans in the State have voluntarily offered their influence in his behalf should he enter the contest. Once or twice previously, Mr. sible candidate for governor and up to within a few weeks prior to the last Republican state convention, Mr. Shiveley was regarded as a candidate for attorney-general, which nomina tion his friends declared he could have received had he not declined to enter the contest because of pressing duties in connection with the office of Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. It is said that Mr. Shiveley now Is seriously considering the mat ter of yielding to the wishes of his friends and entering the race for gov ernor, but It is yet too early for pros pective candidates to formally declare themselves. PUSH HIS FAVORITE BILL THE PLANS OF GUS C0ND0 Marion Legislator Will Again Try too Have Capital Punishment Abolish ed Will Ask The Governor to Help Him. Having definitely decided that he will not seek to be speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives Gus Condo of Marion, who is widely known in Wayne county will prepare for an aggressive campaign in the in terests of his bill to abolish capital punishment in Indiana. Condo, within the next few weeks will have a talk with Governor Hanly in regard to the me?v3 he proposes to introduce. The bill will be similar to the one he introduced two years ago. It received a substantial vote, but not strong enough to be effective. Condo has not despaired. He will ask Governor Hanly to recommend in his message to the Legislature that capital punishment be done away with. CHURCH AND CLERGY. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale has been elected president of the American Antiquarian society. Rev. Dr. Clifford, the noted English divine, who has just celebrated his seventieth birthday, says he considers that at that age a man is just approaching his best. With his heart set on the erection of a $200,000 institutional church in Chicago, Charles Reign Seoville, the noted evangelist, Is placing practically, everything he earns Into a fund for this purpose. Bishop MacDonald of the Roman Catholic diocese of Harbor Grace, N. F has been appointed archbishop of a titular see. He will shortly retire from active duties and will reside in Pictou,N. S. The church in New York where George Washington's pew is still to be seen, Bt. Paul's chapel, recently celebrated Its one hundred and fortieth anniversary. - The Father of Ilis Country attended there regularly from 1789 to 1791. THE WRITERS. Emllio Pardo Batm the Spanish novelist, has been appointed professor of literature in the Athenaeum of Madrid. Norman Duncan, the writer of sea stories, will make his home in Law rence, Kan. He does not. however, espect to give up writing stories of thi sea. but will spend his summers, at least, on the water. It is said that Gabriele d'Annnnzlo has wearied of literature and now aspires to become a great Inventor. His discoveries up to date are a new system for bicycles, which does away with the rubber tire, and a sure cure for baldness. The discoverer Is still very bald. The new Russian novelist who writes i under the name of Ivan Strannik is in j private Iffe Mme. Anltchkoff. her husband, beinga professor in the University of Kiev. She writes in French entirely, because, as she explains, she liked to say freely what she thought, a thing Impossible-up to the present JJ
Russia. '"
MINISTERS DON'T LIKE IT
TO DECLARE THEMSELVES Richmond Pastors Will Probably Follow Suggestion of Certain of Their Number and Denounce Fairs Where Chance Predominates. It is asserted that the ministerial association either at its meeting today or at some time In the near future will formally declare itself on the question of carnivals given under the auspices of fraternal societies or any other organizations. There is a pronounced feeling, it is said, among the membership, that all such fairs where the element of chance plays an Important part in any feature of such entertainments should be eliminated from the social life of the city and for this reason the association will in the future assert its right to have such affairs stopped. There has been no feeling against the LSfcs fa(r, it is said, other than the belief that there was too much to tickle the fancies of those of a speculative turn, no matter whether the values offered were large or small. It is against carnivals in general, not any one in particular, that the ministers will likely array themselves in the future, unless the element of chance is eliminated. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Sarah Lamb of St. Pancras, London, remarked on her recent one hundred and fourth birthday that she "wouldn't mind" living her life over again. Catherine and Maggie Snyder, aged twenty and sixteen respectively, run the ferry across the Susquehanna at Shenks Ferry, Pa., as their father did before them.

Women , in Our Hospitals Appalling Increases in the Number of Operations Performed : Each Year How Women. May Avoid Them.
Going' through the hospitals ia our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patientslying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations. Why should this be the ca ? Simply because they ha 3 neglected themselves. Female troubles are certainly on the Increase among the women of this country they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain atleftor right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, dizziness, flatulency, displacements of the organs or irregular ities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulency), general debility, indifestion, and nervous prostration, or are eset with such, symptoms as dizziness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and ' want-to-b Vftalone ' feelings, they should rei er there is one tried and true remeu, .
