A DAfJCINGJEACHER Attacks Shelbyville Society Leader with Wrench.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind., April 2. Miss Gnevieve Parker, a pretty dancing teacher of this city, was arrested yesterday afternoon charged with assault and battery with intent to kill Mrs. Helen Elliott, wife of J. Walter Elliott, a wealthy resident of this city, the warrant being issued following indictment by the grand jury, which had been investigating the case for a week. Miss Parker had been called as a witness, but refused to testify, and was excused by the Court. She was released on bond of $1,000 furnished this evening by her uncle, William S. Major, and her aunt, Miss Loretta Cory. Her family are among the wealthiest and most prominent residents of the city. The attack on Mrs. Elliott took place at her home the night of February 15. A veiled woman rained admission to the house on the explanation that she had a basket of apples for Mrs. Elliott from a friend. As Mrs. Elliott reached for the basket the woman struck her with a monkey wrench, but failed to knock her down, and fled as Mrs. Elliott's screams brought aid. Matches and gasoline found in the basket indicated that the women intended to fire the house. It was Bald Mrs. Eliott recognized her assailant, and the name of Miss Parker was connected with the attack. "The only assignable motive," said iMrs. Elliott at the time, "is jealousy, as Miss Parker and Mr. Elliott were sweethearts before his marriage to me." Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are in California for her health," as she suffered nervous prostration following the sensational attack and is still in a serious condition. They did not seek the arrest of Miss Parker, and the Investigation is said to have been forced by W. A. Powell, who owned the building the Ellldtts were occupying.
"My little son had a very severe cold. I was recommended to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and before a small bottle was finished he was a? well as ever," writes Mrs. H. Silks, 29 Dowling Street, Sydney, Australia. This remedy is fc sale by all dealers.
WALL STREET TIPSTERS. Thy Arm a Numerous Triba and Ara Always Ready to Advisa. Wall street is the home of the tipster. You can always find him. You do not need to ask for him. He seeks you out in seductive advertisements, in circulars, letters and all the ways of the shrewd trader. And there are none shrewder than those who nest in Wall street. You will find the tipsters In every broker's office. Stand at the ticker for a few minutes and bear them as they come tip one after another. "This is the time to sell," says one. Directly another appears, takes up the tape, scrutinizes it for a moment, lays It down and exclaims, "A good time to buy!" But go to the head of a house, especially If it be an old. conservative and well established institution, and ask him what he thinks about the market. See how many tips you will get from him. Not many, as a rule. ' He will discourse upon the situation, tell yon the favorable.and unfavorable factors, call attention to certain stocks that may be influenced by current rumors, to others that have new possibilities, to others that may suffer from various 'reasons, and then he will conclude with a general observation that one man's opinion is as good as another's. Leslie's.
Cold Blooded Man. "Man Is the coldest blooded animal there is," said a well known doctor. "Man's low temperature," the doctor went on, "is responsible for more than half his ailments. Your normal temperature Is degrees P. It Is only when you have a bad temperature that you get as warm as any of the lower animals that is to say, when you are In a high fever, with a temperature of 102, you are at the normal heat of the cat, the dog, the ox, the rat, and bo on. In the coolest of seas the porpoise Is never cooler than 100 degrees. The bat, the rabbit, the guinea pig, the bare and the elephant likewise are all cool at 100 degrees. The hen has the highest temperature of all the lower creatures, and it is a good deal wanner, too, when a chicken. Its temperature then is as high as 111, but age and experience cool its blood by 3 degrees." New York Globe.
The Trouble In That Family. "You told me when you said goodby yesterday that I should never see you again." she complained as she straightened up beside the tub. "I know I did," he replied, leaning wearily against his breath, "but you know wha th' philosoph'r says, donshu? 'A bad promise is (hie!) better broken. Why donshu try to be (hie!) more philosophlc'l ? Thasn whatsh always been the trouble in thish fam (hlc!) fam'ly. You ain't got 'ny phil (hie!) osophy In your system." Chicago Record-nerald.
A new Jewish colony is to be planted in Hebron. It will devote itself particularly to dairying.
EASTER AND EASTER LILIES. Tall, stately Easter Lilies are most effective for church or window decoration. For the table, the mantle, or other places in the home, the new dwarf Lilies are preferable. Azaleas are better and cheaper this year than ever before. Hyacinths, Tulips, Primroses, Genistas, Spireas, and many other beautiful plants are suitable as Easter gifts, and are reasonable in price. There will be no increase in price for Carnations and Roses. Come to THE FLOWER SHOP, 1015 Main Street, and inspect all of these things. Give us your orders early, and get the Xirst choice of stock.

CIVIC TREND TOWARD CONSERVATION
Natural Beauties Should Be Preserved at All Cost, Even If the Famous Straight Line Has to Be Violated Down-trodden Property Owners.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "It will be a great shock to the town," said a citizen interested in the latter's landscape aspects, "when the row of trees lining the Reeves estate is cut down. "These trees," he continued, "form a larger part of the beauty of the place than you might think. y "There are not nearly as many trees as there seem to be on account of the heavy foliage of this row. When they are cut down the public will have a chance to see what a crime has been committed." It is said that the residents and property owners who protested against this action have been assured that it made no difference what they wanted or thought. That the trees were to be cut down. This is the edict of the board of public works. The latter stated that as the trees were soft maples they would die in the course of time anyway so that they might as well be demolished now. This irresistible logic of this pronounciamento is only equaled by its beauty. ItB simple. Cut down the trees because they will die anyway sometime. Very much like a man might be acquitted by a jury of his peers for committing a murder "your honor we find this man not guilty. The victim would die sometime anyway and the fact of his having been shot down by the defendant before bis denatte had been accomplished by Nature does not constitute, in our minds, a crime against the state." It is said that if the trees are allowed to stand they will hit the middle of the side-walk. A side-walk constructed on - "uniform" lines. "Well, what of it!" Go into some cities not many in America to be sure but still an isolated instance now' and then, among them Indianapolis and you will find trees standing in the center of a sidewalk with the cement walk built round it, and plenty of room between the edge of the tree and the beginning of the walk which surrounds it. There is no reason with all the room, in the world why this should not be done with this row of trees. If the people who have bought lots along this line of the addition want the trees, they should have them. They will live there later on and be directly affected either by the presence or absence of the former. . If this was a congested district with land selling at several thousand dollars a foot there might seem some reason for , the hewing down of these trees. . , . -' But when its practically in the country it seems preposterous and incredible that these decorative adjuncts which it will take a half century to duplicate if they can ever be duplicated should not be retained. ; There is no reason, either 'theoretical or practical, for the demolition of these trees. They should be preserved at all COBtS. There is no law compelling a street to be constructed on a straight line or of the same width. - If these trees should, in the process: of making the street uniform with the block above, be found in the center of the sidewalk, the walk, as just stated, can be built round them. The intense stupidity or contrari-

ness or whatever it is that animates the official powers in a town in matters' of this sort is amazing and unbelievable. When the whole civic trend of the civilized world is toward conservation of all natural decorative "features," or their construction, this town indulges in an orgy of demolition and destruction merely to make a sidewalk on a straight line, or to lay down cement according to the rules of the union, or whatever it is that governs the cement man in his vagaries. "What's it to you!" they say. Its everything to me and to everybody else in town. This town isn't owned, as said recently, by the Board of Public Works, or the Mayor, or the Council or anybody else. There is a beautiful tneory of government that says the people rule and officials merely execute their expressed wishes. Local officials are the servants, not the rulers, of the people. Its no particular encouragement to
people desiring to become property owners, especially in an undeveloped addition, to have every wish throttled, every request denied. And insultingly denied. "Get out here!" is said in effect to
jthe average citizen who timidly approaches some lofty local official with a reasonable request or suggestion 'about his own property. "How dare jyou bother me with your miserable
requests. Don't you see I'm busy? I can't spend my time listening to every complaint that comes in. I've got other things to do." With which he resumes his leisurely perusal of the morning paper. No doubt municipal officials may buck up against a lot of stupidity and opposition to legitimate civic expansion. May be annoyed by neighborhood
! disputations about matters of no vast
import. May be hld up by the "secret machinations" of various interests, in their endeavor to perform the duties of their offices. On the other hand this very opposition and annoyance may be engendered by their lack of consideration for property owners and bullyragging tactics. "We don't give m blankety blank whether you like it or not, these trees are going to be cut down," says Mr. Official whoever it is. So Mr. Property Owner retires in disgust and, later, don't give another celebrated blankety blank whether the
city goeB to the general dickens or not A lot of apathy and indifference on the part of the mass of cltiienshlp. deplored by patriots, is caused by the attitude taken by officialdom when the former takes some individual interest in the administration of affairs. The average city official forgets that he isn't a Czar. In the matter of these trees, the public should have some consideration. They have long added to the decorative appearance of the town. There is no reason why they should not be preserved. Should two men out of twenty odd thousand or so be permitted to hold up the whole community?
A single orange tree will produce twenty-thousand oranges, while a lemon tree seldom produces more than eight thousand lemons.
