POTTER. ANOTHER QUESTION FOR MARSHALL. Hero !b a question for Marshall to answer. "Would you in event of election do away with, the system of non-partisan boards in control of tho public institutions of the state?" Let us look at the past. Not long ago Dr. S. E. Smith, of the Eastern Insane Hospital said in speaking of the past and the present of the institutions of Indiana: "Tho problem of the administration of these great charities proved a difficult one. In all of them partisan politics took a hand, oftener both hands, and not infrequently an entire institution. The appointing power of the organizations was lodged here, now there. Sometimes it was with the governor,' again, with the legislature, or still again with a committee of state officers depending almost invariably upon, questions of party ascendancy or expediency. This appointing power was complete and included every functionary from director to scullery maid. A board of visitors was not always considered desirable or necessary." In his profession no one stands higher than Dr. S. E. Smith of Easthaven, and as he is a democrat,, his words on this subject have not the slightest tincture of republican partiality. Every one remembers the scandals which were common when tho partisan boards were in force. The rponnibility for many of the contracts which swindled the state, the graft in connection with the food and clothing, the incompetency of tho officials was

directly traced to on man In particular, Thoma3 Taggart He was In control of democray In the state then, as he is today. It was proved at the time of the scandals that the institutions of the. state had been prolific sources of income to the democratic spoilsmen. It is a glorious part of the record of the republican party in thi3 state that it not only did away with graft, but by the legislation of 1805 and 1S07, made the government of these institutions non-partisan or bi-partisan which assured the state a square deal. The speech of Marshcll at Eethany Park in August of this year when he as a candidate for the governorship said: "To the victor belongs the spoils," is significant. Thomas Taggart is furnishing the support for Marshall. It not the question pertinent in the face of Tom Taggarfs past record and Marshall's utterance about the spoils? Why is Marshall not so keen about the salary "trimmings," and why is he so pronounced iu his views about the "spoils." The word '"spoils in politics means "graft" and "rake off." Marshall said a few days ago that he wanted to bo elected so that ho could pay his. election debts. Is there any

connection between the spoils and that statement? It will be fatal to the welfaro of the public institutions of the state if the democratic legislature and the democratic governor (which Mr. Taggart is trying to have elected for his own ends) repeals the laws which protect the poor, the insane, De prisoners and the orphans of the state. Whether the spoils which Marshall so confidently urges are directly used for ring, or his party, or for himself, the public institutions of this state are now free from all such spoils and must be kept so in the future. Marshall has no need to answer the question at the top of thi3 column, unless he wants to keep up his policy of denial and assertion; of saying one thing at one time, and mother at another time; or unless he wants to evade, to equivocate, and to crawl as he has on every other question in the past. On one thing alone has Marshall been direct and to the point. "I am a democrat and the democratic party believes that to the victor belongs" the spoils." If you vote for Marshall, you vote for corruption, graft, rake off, fat job and all the other "spoils." If you must do it, do it in remembrance of Taggart. Let partisan polities "take a hand, two hands, or a whole state institution" and you have the "spoils system" and Tom Taggart I in full control. Perhaps Mr. Marshall will answer HOME RULE. The brewers are not inactive in this campaign. Before long the citizens ; of Richmond will see on the bill boards ! large posters in all the glory of red and black ink stating County Local Option Means Prohibition with all its evil effects." Any thinking man will realize that county local option does not moan prohibition. The difference is this: Prohibition means that the laws of the state forbid the selling of liquor whether the majority of the inhabitants want it or not County local option means that the people of a county shall decide the matter for themselves. The man who can not distinguish the difference is blind to the facts or has not read the law. A very similar law to the county local option is. in effect in Maryland. The citizens of Baltimore are for the most part in favor of liquor selling they have all' the saloons they want ', The people in Howard county a few j miles north have had trouble with ne groes who Insisted on getting drunk and then committing heinous crimes. These people wanted a way to stopj the deleterious effw.t of ihe salnnns and in the borders of Howard county there are no saloons. What is the effect? The people of the two localities have exactly what they desire. Is that prohibition? The man who says that the will of the majority is not right, is a little short of an anarchist in this country which is built up on the theory that the will of the majority should rule. Is there any reason worthy of the name why the people of one countyshould not have the right to have or to do away with saloons as they choose? The action of the brewers in saying that "County local option is prohibition" simply shows that the law is effective. They are afraid that a majority of the people do not favor the saloon as a factor in politics. Whether the law will be used to shut out the saloon is a different thing from prohibition legislation. County local option is a thing to work both ways. Prohibition works one way only. It leaves no choice to the people. County local option is the only effective, and the only just means of letting the people have saloons, or no saloons as they may see fit. ' Raymond, the special political writer

of the Chicago Tribune said only a short time ago, that the reason why Indiana was an uncertain factor in politics was because Indianians above all were intelligent and logical. If Indianians are deceived by Crawford Fairbanks, who is sending out from his Terre Haute brewery these posters announcing that "County Local Option means Prohibition" it will mean that the estimate of Raymond is out of date. County local option does not mean prohibition. County local option means Home Rule.

REFUSES TO ANSWER Thomas R. Marshall in Speech At Crawfordsville Dodges Questions. TEMPERANCE NOT AN ISSUE Crawfordsville, Ind., Oct. la. "Wabash is not in the campaign." This was Thomas R. Marshall's onlyreply today to the questions of the Crawfordsville Journal demanding that the Democratic nominee explain how he could, "as a truetee of Wabash College, ask the temperance people of Montgomery County to indorse you and your plans which will keep the college, the city and the county under the blight of the saloons?" The other question put to Mr. Marshall by the newspaper was: "How can you ask the parents of these boys, for whose welfare you are in a degree responsible, to support you and your program of leaving the saloons in the Third Ward?" Mr. Marshall touched upon the temperance question very lightly, deflaring temperance is no longer an issue because of the enactment of the county local option law by the special session of the Legislature. This, he declared, was done by Democratic assistance. ADMITS THE CHARGE Pretty Wife of James Baker Says She Lived With Another Man. DIVORCE CASE IS HEARD. New Castle, Ind!, Oct.' 13. When James Baker, relief agent, employed on the Richmond Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, testified as to the infidelity of his beautiful wife in a divorce trial here, she followed him on the stand and calmly substantiated every charge made. She swore that she had lived with a former sweetheart, John Lindamood, of this city at Harbor Springs, Mich., for two weeks, and that she and Lindamood had talked of marriage even before the divorce was instituted. It has since been learned that Baker wanted Lindamood to promise to marry his wife before he consented to begin action for a divorce. Mrs. Baker made no defense, and asserted that her husband had provided lavishly fjor her. PILES CURED QUICK Read What a Sufferer of Forty-Five Years Says of Pyramid Pile Cure.

Tr T.miic Author of "Wings of the t V COPYRICHt, 190. Br Aaa4A. "Can't I have a light?" be asked, partly turning toward the room he had Just quitted. In the neglected garden at the landward front of the Grange House the horse stood patiently on three legs, ruminating no doubt on the steepness of hills aud the excellence of pastures. Nearly an hour passed thus iu solemn quietude. Then a boy on a bicycle, red faced with exertion, pedaled manfully up the hill and through the gate. "I hope he's here," he thought. "It's a long way to cooni for nothin'." Around his waist was a strap with a pouch bearing the king's monogram, lie ran up the door and gave a couple of thuuderous knocks, the privileged rattat of a telegraph messenger. There was a long delay. Then a heavy step approached, and a man opened the door a big. heavy faced man, with eyes that stared dreadfully and a nose damaged in life's transit. "Philip Anson, Esq.," said the boy briskly, producing a buff colored envelope. The man seemed to swallow something. "Yes; he's here. Is that for him?" "Yes, sir. Any reply?" The man took the telegram, closed the door, and the boy beard his retreating footsteps. After some minutes he returned. "It's too late to reply tonight, isn't it?" he inquired. "Yes, sir. It coom'd after hours, but they'd paid t' porterage i Lunnon so t postmistress said ye'd mebbe like to hev it at yance. I've ridden all t' way frae Scarsdale." Late that evening, when the protracted gloaming of the north was fast yielding to the shadows of a cloudy night, the big man from the Grange House drove into Scarsdale. He pulled np at the Fox and Hounds public house. He wanted Mr. Green. Anson's valet came. "Your master says you are to bring his portmanteau to the Grange House tonight. He Intends remaining there. You must get the landlord to sit up nntil you return. It will take you an hour and a half to drive both, ways." Green was ready in five minutes, ne learned that i stable boy must crouch at their feet to bring the dogcart back. It was the property of the Fox and Hounds proprietor. Very unwillingly the horse swung off again toward the moor. There was little conversation. The driver was taciturn, the Londoner somewhat scared by the dark loneliness. At the Grange House they were met by Philip Anson. H stood In the open doorway. He held a handkerchief to bis lips and spoke in a husky voice, the voice of one under the stress of great agitation. "That you, Green? Just give my b&g to the driver and return to the village. Here is' a five pound note. Pay your bill and go back to London by the first train tomorrow. I stop here some few days." The astonished servant took the note. Before he could reply his master turned, crossed a room feebly lighted by a dull lamp and passed through a curtained doorway;. Green was staring perplexedly at the house, the kitchen, his ill favored companion carrying Philip's portmanteau within, when he heard his master'! voice again and saw him standing between the partly drawn curtains, with bis face quite visible In the dim ray of the lamp. "Green?" "Yes. sir.", "Here are my keys. Unlock the bag and take the keys with you. You remember the small portmanteau in my safe at Park lane?" "Yes, sir." "Open the safe, get that bag and send it to me tomorrow night by train to the Station hotel, York. "Tomorrow night, sir?" "Yes." The keys were thrown with a rattle on to a broad kitchen table. Evidently Mr. Anson would not brook questions as to bis movements, though his few words sounded contradictory. Green got down, unfastened the portmanteau and, went back to the dogcart. "They're queer folk 1' V Grange," . said the stable boy as they drove way. "There's a barrow night and a lady as noDOdy ever sees, an' a dochtor, an' a man him as kem for ye. "Surely they are well known here?" "Not a bit of it On'y bin here about a week. T doctor chap's very chirpy, but yon uther is a rum 'un." Green was certainly puzzled very greatly by the unexpected developments of the last few minutes, but he was discreet and well trained. He liked his young master and would do anything to serve his interests. Moreover, the ways of millionaires were not the ways of other men. All he could do was to hear and obey. He slept none the less soundly because his master chose voluntarily to bury himself, even for a little while, in such a weirdly tumbledown old mansion as. the Grange House. CHAPTER XVIII. C ANT I have a lizht?" said rhilip, with head screwed round to ascertain if the doctor were following him. Some hearing sense, whether of sight or he knew not, warned him of movement near at hand, an Impalpable eaorr, a pnysicai tension as of a man laboring under extreme but repressed excitement He paid little heed to it. All .the surroundings In this weird dwelling were so greatly at variance with his anticipations that he partly expected to find further surprises. Dr. Williams did not answer. Philip advanced a halting foot, a hesitating band groping for a door. Instantly a stout rope fell over his shoulder, a noose was tightly drawn, mad he was Jerked violently to tha

The shock jarred him greatly, but his bauds, if not his arms, were free, and, with the instinct of self preservation that replaces all other sensations in moments of extreme peril, he strove valiantly to rise. But be was grasped by the neck with brutal force and some one knelt on his back. "Philip Anson," hissed a man's voice, "do you remember Jocky Masou?" So he had fallen into a trap, cunniug ly prepared by what fiendish combination of fact aud artifice he had yet to learn. Jocky Mason, the skulking criminal of Johnsou's Mews. Was he in that man's power? Under such conditions a man thinks quickly. Philip's first ordered thought was ouc of relief. He had fallen iutu the clutches of an English brigand. Money would settle this dLQculty if ali other means failed. "Yes, yes," he gurgled, half strangled by the fierce pressure on his throat "You hit me once from behind. You can't complain if I do the same. You sent me to a living bell for ten years not your fault that it wasn't forever. Lie still! Not all your money can save you now. I am judge and jury and hell itself. You are dying dyingdead!" And with the final words drawled into his ears with bitter intensity Philip felt a terrible blow descend on his head. There was no pain, no fear, no poignant emotion at leaving all the world held so dear to him. There was an awful shock. A thundercloud seemed to burst iu his braiu, and he sank into the void without a groan. Now, in falling the hard felt hat he wore dropped in front of bis face. The first wild movement of bis head tilted it outward, but the savage jerk given by his assailant brought the rim slightly over his skull again. In the almost complete darkness of the passage Mason could not see the slight protection ' this afforded to his victim, and the sledge hammer blow he delivered with a life preserver that murderous implement named so utterly at variance with its purpose did not reveal the presence of an obstacle. He struck with a force that would have stunned an ox; it must have killed any man be he the hardest skulled aborigine that ever breathed. But the stout rim of the hat, though crushed like an eggshell, took off some of the leaden instrument's tremendous Impact Philip, though quite insensible, was not dead. His sentient faculties were annihilated for the time, but bis heart continued its life giving functions, and he breathed with imperceptible Sufferings. Mason rose, panting with excitement, glutted with satisfied hate. He lifted his victim's inert form with the ease of his great strength. "Come on!" he shouted and strode toward a door, which he kicked open. A step sounded haltingly in the passage. Grenier, the sio-disant doctor, livid now and shaking with the ague of irretrievable crime, stumbled after his more callous associate. Unconsciously he kicked Philip's hat to one side. He entered the room, an apartment with a boundless view of the sea. Here there was more light than In the kitchen. The windows faced toward the northwest, and the last radiance of r setting sun illumined a wall on the right "Not there!" be gasped. "In this chair. His face I must see his facer Mason, still clasping his inanimate burden, laughed with a snarl. "Stop that!" he roared. "Pull yourself together. Get some brandy. I've done my work. If you can't do yours, let me finish it." "Oh, just a moment! Give me time! I hate the sight of blood. Get a towel. Bind it round his neck. His clothes! They will be saturated. And wipe his face. I must see his face." Grenier was hysterical. He had the highly &,runnr nervous sister; of r girl

k

where deeds of bloodshed were concerned. While Mason obeyed bit Instructions he pressed his hands over his eyes. "Bring some brandy, white liver. Do you want me to do everything?" This gruff order awoke Grenier to trembling action. He went to a cupboard and procured a bottle. Mason, having placed Anson in a chair and steadied bis head against the wall, seized half a tumblerful of the neat spirit and drank it with gusto. The other, gradually recovering bis self control, was satisfied with a less potential draft. "It will be dark soon," growled Mason. "We must undress him first you said." "Yes. if his clothes are not blood stained." "Rot! He must go into the water naked iu any case. The idea is your own." "Ah, I forgot. It will soon be all right. Besides. I knew I should be upset, so I have everything written down here all fully thought out. There can bo uu mistake made then." He produced a little notebook and opened it with uncertain fingers. He glanced at a closely written page. The words danced before his vision, but he petjjevered. "Yes. Ills coat first, then his boots; clothes or linen stained with blood to be burned, after cutting off all buttons. Now I'm ready. I wlil not funk any more." His temperament linked the artistic and criminal faculties In sinister combination, and he soon recovered bis domination in a guilty partnership. It must have been the Instinct of the pickpocket that led him to appropriate Philip's silver watch, with its quaint shoelace attachment, before be touched any otbvr article. "Queer thins?:" he commented "A rich man might afford a better timekeeper, but there's no accounting for tastes." Mason, satiated and stupefied, obeyed his instructions like a ministering

ghoul. They undressed rhilip wholly, and Grenier, rapidly denuding himself of his boots and outer clothing, donned these portions of the victim's attire. Then the paint tubes and the other accessories of an actor's makeup were produced. Grenier, facing a mirror placed on a table close to Philip, began to remodel bis own plastic features In close similitude to those of the unconscious man. He was greatly assisted by the fact that In general contour they were not strikingly different. Philip's face was of a fine classical tyre. Grenier, whose nose, mouth and chin were regular and pleasing, found the greatest difficulty in controlling the shifty, ferretlike expression of his eyes. Again, Philip had no mustache. The only costume he really liked to wear was his yachting uniform, and be re be conformed to the standard of the navy. The shaven lip. of course, was helpful to his imitator. All that was needed was an artistic eye for the chief effect, combined with a skilled use of his materials. And herein Grenier was an adept But the light was growing very uncertain. "A lamp," he said querulously, for time sped and he had much to do "bring a lamp quickly!" Mason went toward the front kitchen. Grenier did not care about being left alone face to face with the pallid and naked form In the chair, but he set his teeth and repressed the tendency to rush after his confederate. The latter in returning halted an instant. "Hello!" be cried. "Here's his hat." After placing the lamp on the table beside the mirror he went back to the passage. Grenier was so busy with the making up process that he did not notice what his companion was doing.- His bent form shrouded the light and Mason placed the hat carelessly on a chair. He chanced to hold it by an uninjured part of the rim and never thought of exainics it. (Continued.) No Competition.
