She died at 1:15 o'clock. The girl was left alone at home this morning, when her stepmother left the house about nine o'clock.She returned at ten o'clock and found the girl lying across the bed, unconscious. Drs. B. G. Keeney and F. E. Ray were called to attend her. They found that the acid bad been taken some time before their arrival, making the chances of recovery very doubtful.A note was found in the girl’s room addressed to her father. Will Chesser. It contained only a few lines, bidding the father and a young brother, Warren, good bye. The girl also told her father In the note that she had become tired of living and had decided to end her life.It wm said today that the girl had no troubles that were known to the father and that the neighbors knew of no differences that the girl had. The father stated today that hisdaughter was of a cheerful dispositionDr. M. H. Thomas, of Huntington, assistant secretary of the Indiana committee the Commission for Relief In Belgium, was in Shelbyville Tuesday afternoon interviewing'the people on the subject of grain donations for the Belgium sufferers. When told what Shelby county people have done on that score Dr. Thomas was much gratified. After getting together what information he considered necessary he concluded that the best and about the only thing to do beTe is to secure an organization to ask the farmers of Shelby county to donate 1,000 bush-eds of wheat to the cause. Dr. Thomas returned to Indianapolis late in the evening expecting to return hero in a few days to take up the work.The honorary chairman of the Indiana commission is the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks. The chairman la Henry Lane Wilson, of Indianapolis. The treasurer is S. A. Fletcher, and the secretary is W. E. Barton, both of Indianapolis. The members of the committee are scattered throughout the state, each and every man being a representative citizen of special high standing.That there la need tor relief in Belgium there Is no doubt. Conditions there are worse than deplorably bad. In times of profound peace, wben all the inhabitants of that country are hard at work at their occupations, the country is four-fiftbs dependent on the world for what it gets to eat, in otheT words it is not a food producing country. What the Inhabitants eat and largely what they wear Is purchased in other countries. Cut off from their occupations they have no money to buy with even Jf there was food to be had. TheThe arrest by the officers of the men charged with being participants in the disgraceful scenes enacted last Saturday night will be upheld by every law abiding citizen. Officers of the law are humans. Like the rest of humanity they are liable to mistakes, but when in the discharge of their duties as peace officers they are entitled to the support of all good citizens. If this support should be withdrawn, which is impossible, the lawless element would be In control. The disturbance of Saturday night was brought about largely through the mistaken idea that the genera! public 2iab condemned law and order. A worse mistaken notion never crept into the minds of men. The trouble with the class who conceived that thought was that they measured the community by their own standard.Order and peace are going to rule in ShelbyvtHe regardless of price. Laws will be enforced regardless or the wishes of the few. There is no room for argument. Law and order will reign in Shelbyville.The guilt or the Innocence of the men under arrest is not taken Into consideration. The courts will take care of that.Rout, riot* rebellion are all bad words. The meaning of them i* worse, the execution of the meaning is anarchy. Neither will secure a foothold here.FOR DYNAMITING FISHPLEAD NOT GUILTY WHEN ARRAIGNED THIS HORNING IN COURT AT COLUMBUS—TRIALS SET FOR JULY 8.LIMPUS TO TEACH HERE.BlEd. C.
