PRISONER TELLS OF BRUTAL DEED
fiushvillc Colored Murderer Tells How Crime Was Committed.
Wife of man assisted.
AFTER GRUBBS HAD USED HATCHET ON VICTIM'S HEAD, WIFE THEN CUT COLEMAN'S THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR.
Rushville, Ind., March !. Details of the confession of John Gruhfos, color
ed, which sets fort h brutal man nor in which Charles Coleman, als-o colored, nas murdered, has further excited the colored people of Rubhville. The reason, for spiriting the prisoner to the Maiioi county jail is evident, following the revelation made in the confession In it Grubbs tells how he and the- murdered man's wife deliberately planned to f?et Coleman from (he house; how the wife held the husband while the death blows were inflicted by a hatchet, in the hands of Grubbs, and finally how she cut her husband's throat from ear to ear after the body had been dragged to the side of the road. The confession was made in the presence of several officers and a fctenographer. On all sides cau be heard expressions that lynching would be loo good for Grubbs. Mrs. Coleman denies the Grubbs story and declares that, he told her of the murder after it had been committed, threatening to . Kill lier if she told any story other than the one he instructed her to tell. This story was t hat Coleman was slugged and robbed while on his way to get a physician for Grubbs. who was ill. Grubbs declares that he and the murdered man's wife were desperately in love and planned to get. Coleman out of the way. Mrs. Coleman made her btatement to the coroner yesterday afternoon. Grubbs Gives Detail. In detail Grubbs' s story was that he feigned illness and sent Coleman to Itushvlle for a physician. Mrs. Coleman going in the buggy with her husband. About a half mile from the house, Grubbs says, he climbed into the rear of the buggy. Hiding thus for a short, distance he heard a sharp cry by Mrs. Coleman, the signal for the assault. Mrs. Coleman, he said, threw her arms about her husband and he (Grubbs) began the assault on the helpless man with a hatchet which he said the woman had placed in the back of the buggy. The victim of the assault, he continued, rolled out of the buggy and Grubbs followed, administering a number of blows. Grubbs says he and Mrs. Coleman dragged the body to the side of the road, where the wife cut her husbaud's throat, almost severing the head from the body. They returned to the Coleman home, where they burned all their clothes. Grubbs told of two other attempts to murder Coleman. On one occasion, he said, "rough on rats" was placed in tea intended for Coleman, but the latter did not drink it. Mrs. Coleman and Grubbs have been sweethearts since they were children in Kentucky. Grubbs admits they were intimate. Coleman was popular in the colored colony of Rushville.

WAS HORRIBLE FIRE SEEN BY PREMONITION
Miss Emma Locke Cried Out Telling of Conflagration. "Was the horrible fire at Collinwood, Ohio, seen by Miss Emma Liocke. of Hagerstown, by premonition? This question is puzzling that community. Miss Locke died Tuesday. While apparently asleep she cried out as if greatly excited that. she saw many children meeting death in the flames that were consuming a large building. After becoming thoroughly awakened it was impossible to persuade the woman to believe her dream was Dot a reality.

ROBINS HERE TO CAROL SPRING SONGS
Little Fellows Strutted About This Morning.
The first robin of the spring has arrived. This morning the song of the little fellow could be heard in the east end of town where he strutted about to show all the folks that he had enough nerve to leave his snug winter quarters in the southland and venture into the uncertain climate of his northern home. In the clothing store and tailoring establishments spring clothes are being put on exhibition and it is stated there is a lively demand for them. "When times are a little bit. hard there is always a good demand for clothing, strange as it may seem." re marked a local tailor today. "Your American man always wants to put on 'a good front' when adversity is hanging around."
The power of advertising is told by a manager of the toilet department store. "We have six different makes of one toilet article," he said, "and they are so near alike in quality that even experts can not tell the difference, yet wo sell as much of one as we do of all the others together just because the manufacturer is everlastingly advertising it. The other five sell in proportion to the amount of advertising given to them. If there is any difference in quality it is in favor of the poorest seller."

State Platform in a Way Reflected Bryan's Ideas on National Questions.
TWO SIGNIFICANT POINTS.
ACKNOWLEDGED DEBT OF POPULIST PARTY AND MADE A REPLY TO THE POLICIES OF SECRETARY TAFT.
ISA PROHI DELEGATE
Hanna Graves Appointed by' Party. I
Wayne county prhibitionists havo ; made the following nominations for county offices: Commissioner of East-' ern district, G. N. Hartley; commis-I sioner of Western district, Orlando Marshall; commissioner of middle dis-i trict, John Brooks: recorder C. J. At-j kinson; sheriff, C. S. Cox; treasurer, Thomas Clevenger; representative,
Leander Chamness. No names were presented for judge or prosecutor. Thirteen delegates to the state convention were named, including one woman, Hannah Graves.
Omaha . Neb.. March Instructing their delegates to 'vote as a unit" for the presidential nomination of Win. J. Bryan, at Denver next July, the members of the Nebraska democratic con-! vMitiuii made ciear officially that his home state will support Bryan principles throughout the national convention of the party. Close on to l,) delegates, hundreds of other active party members and thousands of private citizens hailed Mr. Bryan as "The next president of the United States." Applause that quickly changed to cheers then instantly turned all to wild yells greeted him when he appeared to begin the speech which wound up the day. During his remarks this demonstration, was renewed frequently, and at. the end was iepeated with renewed vigor. Significant Points. Two significant, poinis were noticed in Mr. Bryan's speech. In one he acknowledged his debt to the populist party, and in the other he replied to criticism of his policies which Secretary Taft is reported to have uttered in a recent speech in Oklahoma. "My creed is "Exterminate the private monopoly.' legitimate corporations can be regulated, but. the criminal corporation is beyond the reach of regulation," said Mr. Bryan. "Mr. Taft said that I wish to annihilate business combinations, while he declared himself willing to regulate the great corporations. I accept this issue, and in reply I will call attention to the fact that the trusts have regulated the republicans, not the republicans the trusts." Concerning the populists he said: "If any democrat has a prejudice
against Populists I would admonish him that a populist wiio crosses the road to vote for a democrat is not to be despised by a democrat who has merely to vote the ticket of his own party." Points of the Platform. The platform approves prohibition of the pass and rebate; favors legislation prohibiting corporations contributing to campaign funds; favors publication of all individual contributions; insists that federal remedies shall be added to and not substituted for state remedies for monopolies; favors election of United States senators by direct vote of
the people; welcomes belated tax revisions; favors income tax as part of the revenue system; urges liberal appropriations for inland waterways and a generous pension policy; demands Philippine independence and enlarged powers for national and state railway commissions; favors postal savings banks, and demands better protection for bank depositors; declares opposition to the Aldrich and Fowler bills; favors an eight-hour day and consideration of capital and labor; favors modification of law relating to injunctions, also an employers' liability act.
STOCK IS SEIZED
United States Marshal Acted Against Rost & Marshall Yesterday.
What to do in Dyspepsia Dieting has become a great fad in America, and just as, years ago, we, as
a nation, over-ate, so now we are undereating. The one is as bad as the other. Man needs food and plenty of it to sus
tain life and to give strength to compete in this busy world. j It is not, however, the fact that you may eat too much that hurts you, but i that you don't digest what you eat. j And If that results in dyspepsia you will not l cure the trouble by cutting down your food sup-: ply. It your digestive organs were creating the rroper amount of gastric anil peptic Juices you would have no dyspepsia. To cure tlie dieae you must create an abundance ot these necessary j ulces. v This can only bf done by a reliable tonic Uxa- . tive. and. aa its name indicates. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin contains the ery ingredients needed to do this. Take it regularly for awhile . according to the explicit directions on each bottie and you will boon be cured of dyspepsia and any ot the accompanying symptoms such as heartburn, sour stomach, bloateu stomach.hives. ; pimples, sallow complexion, wind on tha Mom- j ach. etc Kvery boltie carries with it an abso- j lute guarantee to do what we claim. It is a gen- j tie. pleasant. eSective laxative and you will like Its taste and be pleased with its action. One of the great friends of this remedy is Harry F. Keator, a lieutenant in one of the Chicago companies that fought at the battle of Santiago. While in the wet trenches, and eat- ! lng the rough food of a soldier, he contracted severe dyspepsia and lost weight rapidly. A friend in the regiment called his attention to Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which he promptly began to use. It not only cured his dyspepsia but increased his weight 42 pounds. Your druggist will sell you a bottle at 50 cents or ti and you will find it worth a hundred tunes that to you.
