THAT HE THINKS NEW EXECU

CLASS OF GOV. FOLK.
In a chapel address this morning.
President R. L. Kelly of Earlham col
lege paid a glowing tribute to Govern
or Thomas R. Marshall, lie stated that despite the fact that he was sup
ported by the liquor and liberal ele
ments he was confident t hat Mr. Mar
shall would be a courageous and fair
minded executive. Mr. Kelly's address
Jn part follows: Art of Choosing Leaders.
"John Stuart Mill once wrote the great problem of free organization la

truthfulness and moral sympthy,
Thes are words of a wise man and
they fit the conditions of our day.

ing the lessons of practical morality
tfhan that of studying concrete situa
tions. Shall we dispassionately look at this situation then a few moments? "Mr. Marshall was not an active
candidate for the nomination. Com
plications arose in the convention and
lie was selected as an available candidate. The platform called for a lo
cal option law with the township and ward as the uits and he was expected to stand on the platform. The liquor Interests of the state and other staets
-the distillers, breweries and saloons
considering th e democratic platform
the lesser of two evils actively supported Mr. Marshall. Thomas Tag-
g&rt who is the owner of the most notorious gambling establishment in the
state, and who has never been ac
cused of being a reformer, supported
Mr. Marshall. The anti-saloon league of the state and the ministers pretty generally voted against him. The third
party, prohibitionists, with few or no
exceptions votea against mm. ino one

Was It a Liberal Victory?

it would be necessary perhaps to an
ewer this question in the affirmative But there is no evidence that Mr. Mar
shall is a weak man and there is much evidence that he is a strong man. In the convention which nominated' him
he announced that he would enter the
race untrammeled; that he under obli
gation to no man or organization.
It is confidently believed that these
statements are still true. Mr. Mar-
Shall has already displayed a num

constantly sought and heeded her ad

Influence of the intuition of a loyal Christian, woman. This, Mr. Marshall kas done and he has aroused much
confidence thereby.
"It has been sown that he paid the expenses of his campaign out of his own - pocket, borrowing money of his home bank for. the purpose, although thousands of dollars were proffered
him by the liquor interests for cam- j paign purposes. m "When the great meeting was held nt, the fair grounds at Indianapolis, Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer drew up to the hotel with his preat touring car for Mr. Bryan and Mr. Marshall.

He made a public proclamation that office seekers must stay away that he needed his time for rest and for the preparation of , his message and that when the time came he would choose men on the hasls of merit. "Mr. Marshall is a college man with the broad outlook and deep sympathies of the student of political and social problems. And as he assumes his office shall we as college people hope and pray that he may be true to his ideals, that he may have the courage of his convictions and that he may ally himself with that group of governors which includes such men as Hughes and Lafollette, and Johneon and Folk, who are bringing to pass a new and better era in American politics.

MRS. W. MORRIS.
"Well, don't you think the Post does not intend to take that room just as soon as it can get it," declared John
Markley, adjutant of Sol Meredith
Post, G. A. R. today. Markley was told an officer of the Horticultural society
had stated that the Post will give up the room because there is no flue. That such action is contemplated was denied vigorously by Markley and on the other hand he declared the Post wants to occupy the quarters as soon as possible. The Horticultural society has until March 1 to vacate under the order of the county commissioners. Society Still Fighting. The Horticultural society has appointed a committee which is to confer with the commissioners and reopen
the matter of vacating the room on the first flfloor of the court house it now occupies. The commisioners have notified the society to vacate, but it will not do so until every chance to retain the room has been lost. A society officer is authority for the statement the Post would not care to retain the room, since it discovered there is
no flue to the chimney. It is claimed the Post would have occasional use for the flue in order to operate its ranges when preparing lunch or dinners as has been the custom.
Markley says the lack of a flue will
make no difference. The chimney is there and just as soon as the Post secures possession of the room, a flue hole will be cut and attachment for the range provided. "Such a little
matter.as that won't bother us," stated
the adjutant. " He expressed the opinion that the Horticultural society has
hit upon this proposition in the final attempt to retain the room.

To Ailing Women
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a Sufferer in Richmond. No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become inflamed and swollen and worse troubles quickly follow. This is often the true
cause of bearing down pains, lameness, "backache, sideache, - etc. Uric
poisoning also causes headaches, diz
zy spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain. , 4 '
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get. better as the kidneys get better, and health t will return when the kidneys are well. Let

Marlon, Ind., Jan. 1L The finding
by firemen of the charred body of
Mrs. Rosa Ricks, the comely wife of Martin Ricks, a lumber buyer, in the
smoldering ruins of a barn which evidently had been fired by an incendiary early yesterday morning, reveal
ed a startling murder plot which has
assumed sensational proportions.
After marry hours of work w'Qlch
resulted in the arrest of 'Martin Ricks,
(ha husband and Levi Sutton, a man
who is charged by the hushand with having alienated his wife's affections.
the police have evolved the belief that
still a third man figures in the case
and to make the complications more sensational this third man is a mulat
to. Frank Brown by name, who is alleged to have been attentive to Mrs. Ricks.
The suspicion which was fastened
upon Brown caused the mulatto to leave the city hurriedly during the
day and resulted in a chase by a big posse of officers and armed farmers which ended only after darkness set in last night.
The flight of Brown and stories developed by the officers leads them to believe his arrest is the key to the murder puzzle and every effort is being made to apprehend him. Brown is a comparative stranger here and has been in this city only a few weeks.
It is known that he boasted of his
friendship with white women. He
posed as a prize fighter.
It is the police theory that because
of jealously on the part of some of
the woman's associates she was taken to the barn and there killed, the barn later being fired by the murderer for the purpose of concealing the
crime. Fireman Makes Ghastly Find.
The firemen discovered the charred body in the hayloft of a barn in the
rear of the residence of Thomas Wil
eon, 403 East Third street, at 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, after they Jhad extinguished a blaze that partially destroyed the structure.
Although the owner of the barn had
time to rescue his horse, the woman's body was not found until after the
fire. A fireman happened to step on
tne body and then with the light of a lantern he made the ghastly discovery
that it was that of a woman. v
It was nearly six hours later that
the remains were identified as those
of Mrs. Rosa Ricks, aged 23, the wife
of Martin Ricks, a timber buyer for a
local factory.
It has not been definitely determin ed whether the woman was killed before or after being taken to the barn
It is evident, however, that the mur
derer expected to cover up his crime
by burning the body.
The scene of the fire was within
two blocks of the dead woman's home and was only three blocks from the
business district. Ricks, who separat
ed from his wife a week ago, is held in jail, but the officers have little or no evidence to connect him with the
crime. The fact that he is the bene
ficiary of an insurance policy carried
by his we is about the only reason
for holding him. Levi Sutton, who is held by Ricks as being responsible for breaking up his home, is also held
pending an investigation.
The officers are sure that light will be thrown upon the mystery with the
apprehension of Frank Brown, a mu
latto, who disappeared from Marion at
noon. Chase Mulatto Suspect. f Marshal Roberts of Van Buren secured a handcar and overtook Brown walking along the Clover Leaf railroad, six miles east of Marion late yesterday afternoon. The officer opened fire upon him. but Brown escaped to a dense woods. A dozen Marion officers hurried to the scene in automobiles and assisted by fifty armed farmers they sought to capture him, but with darkness he made his escape. The officers returned to the city at 8 o'clock last night, having abandoned the chase. The police believe that Brown knows all about the murder, even if he did not actually commit it. Ricks scouts at the suggestion that his wife had been friendly with a man with colored blood in his veins, but the police found letters indicating that they had been correspondents. Ricks says that he and his wife were about to be reunited and officers advance the supposition that Brown became jealous when he learned of this and killed her.
Cabman Drives Woman to Bam. A cabman last night identified Mrs. Ricks as the woman who rode in his cab at 11 o'clock Saturday night to McClure and Second streets, a few
! yards from tlie barn where her body
was found. He gave the police a description of a man who rode with her and says he saw Mrs. Ricks and tae man enter the barn together. The police are unable to find any one answering this man's description. Ricks . only Saturday night complain-
ed to the police that Levi Sutton had caused a separation between himself and wife, and he was angry because! Sutton was wearing a necktie that I hi3 wife had given him for Christmas. Later Ricks met Sutton and compelled him to give up the necktie. ; r j

Laughter, Digestion
And Health
An eminent Russian physician has stated his opinion that laughter is one of the best means known to science for the correction of Dyspepsia, stomach and nervous diseases. Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to the famishing and dying man lost in the desert. If one could but know all the caus
es, reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a half-beart-ed-ness of a dyspeptic's gaiety. There is a ceaseless call for appetite, food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic, coupled with a morose, moody belief and knowledge that such a U1 is mockery and if indulged In will bring discomfort, pain and regret. Perhaps if it were understood that the digestive system, including mouth, throat and alimentary canal, embracing as it does the stomach, is composed of membraneous tissue filled
with millions of small nerves, which control added millions of little mouths
suckers. Perhaps If this were
or
known men could more comprehens
ively understand that to disarrange such a system would mean indeed Intense physical pain. -
Now suppose that this alimentary
canal is a mass of worn-out, debilitated nerves and mouths, each suffering
excruciating physical pain and dis-
omfort, and suppose such a - canal
filled with the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from the last meal.
and one has a slight idea as to the
lack of laughter of a dyspeptic.
