Attorney Dora Whitney, who is the wife of Justice Whitney, was acting in the capacity of stenographer and she clashed with Attorney Hicks when the latter reproved her for missing testimony, stating that there was no use objecting, because she was the court as well as the stenographer. Mrs. Whitney left her chair and refused to proceed with the testimony, but was persuaded to continue and the case went on.

ONLY FEW VOTES CAST People Are Showing Their Loyalty to the Ticket Which They Confidently Believe Will Win and Have No Desire to Create New Candidates. Although this is primary election day, there is very little difference between the aspect of the streets today and their appearance any other day. Few voters are wending their way to the polls and the majority of these who are going are casting a vote for the candidates already nominated in the Citizen's ticket. It is expected, of course, that there will be a few voters who will place fhe name of some other candidates on the blank ballots with which they are furnished, besides the name of the candidates already nominated on ticket, but it is thought that they will not overcome the majority of the Citizen's ticket. In order to head off any movement, which might be started among a dissatisfied few to nominate men for offices on the Democratic and Republican tickets today, who mlgnt afterwards fight against the Citizen's ticket, a large number of non-partisans have been going to the polls today, casting their ballots for the Non-Partisan candidates, hopfng by this means to defeat the few scattering votes which will be given outsiders and so keep the coast clear.

If the candidates named on the Citizen's ticket are nominated on either the Republican or Democratic tickets, or both, it will be necessary for them to withdraw from the latter two, in order to hold the nomination on the Citizen's ticket. The fact that the polling places are receiving but slight attention this afternoon is part proof the people in general are satisfied with -the ticket that has been framed up by the Non-Partisans and that they will stand by it at the spring election. BIG OPENING TOMORROW WILL HOLD FORTH FOR TWO DAYS AT THE BIG DEPARTMENT STORE. Formal Millinery Opening to Be Held at Young, Peck Co. in Benton Harbor.

Music. Tomorrow and Thursday, Mar. 20 and 21st, Young, Peck will hold their formal millinery opening in the new and large parlors on the second floor of tnVannex. As usual, this affair will no doubt be a most fashionable function, that assurance we have from the trimmers and a visit to the section substantiates their announcement that this week's opening will be the best they have ever placed and the most attractive that the twin city people have been afforded. The exhibit will be in progress both Wednesday and Thursday and anytime during these days will be a most acceptable time to examine the showing.

Music will lend the charm of the handsomely decorated room and souvenirs will be given to those in attendance. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Mrs. S. E.

(HIT Moore Showed No Emotion Whatever and Although He Listened Intently to the Witnesses Did Not Once Show a Sign of Interest. Eltie Moore, accused of attempting to murder his wife, and known all throughout Berrien County as the man who shot Deputy Sheriff Pearl, his own wife, and then attempted to dispose of himself both by shooting, and by hacking the arteries in his wrist, appeared at the justice court of Attorney Whitney in Benton Harbor this morning and after testimony had been taken from witnesses by the prosecution, he was" released on the same bail as before. Win.

Smith, one of the party who drove to the Moore home with Deputy Pearl and who saw Moore shooting at the officer, was the first witness called. Smith, however, was around the corner of the barn when Pearl went to the door and did not hear the conversation which ensued. He testified that after Moore had fired at Pearl that he turned upon Mrs. Moore and that she cried out as lie approached her with the smoking revolver, "Oh! My God Eltie." and threw up her arm as if to shield herself. The revolver spoke a moment later and Moore then ran, as if to escape.

Smith testified that he, with the others, climbed into the wagon and whipping up the horse's started for town, leaving Pearl and "Mrs. Moore to care for themselves. Esther Smith, wife of Wm. Smith was then called to the stand and she testified to almost the same facts that her husband had mentioned. Her testimony ran parallel with his and there was little difference between them.

Moore sat beside Attorney Hicks and watched the witnesses, who sat within three feet of him, as they testified. Seldom did he take his eyes off their faces and it was noticeable that Smith made small efforts to look at Moore and that when he did so he only swept him with a fleeting glance. Not once did Moore move to speak to his attorney, and his face was as calm and set as though he were not concerned, in any measure, in the working of the law. His face did not bear half the expression that the spectators allowed to pass over their faces, noL a smile, not a -frown, absolutely no evidence that the man was the one most concerned in the case. He bore his head with a certain manliness which to some would be hard to account, his face, while thin, did not show signs of pallor and he was well, although plainly dressed.

Moore is rather a good looking man and there is nothing about him to suggest the various characters which would seem to assimilate themselves with his recent acts. His father and mother, sat quietly at one side of the room, the father watching the lawyers with keen eyes but the mother looking constantly at her son. Plainly dressed in black, her worn hands crumpling a bit of a handkerchief between them, she gazed lovingly at her son. When Smith recited his stors' of the shooting, the mother's eyes filled with tears, but she brushed them away quickly, that her son might not see and smiled at hhn sadly as he turned his eyes to her. Mrs.

Moore, the wife whom Moore shot as he leaped from the door of bis home, sat in the audience chamber behind the prisoner, she had no friends with her and sat isolated In one corner until Sheriff Tennant drew her into speech concerning the case. She exhibited her wrist which shows the mark of the bullet fired from Moore's revolver and stated that she has never had the full use of her wrist since she was wounded. The bullet splintered the bone for several inches and un near the forearm. Her physicians tell her, however, that the wrist will gradual- DEFE itire morning and was witnessed by a large "number of citizens, attracted by the news that Moore was to be seen and that some of the details of the trial would be heard. BELL VS CASE CAME OX IN THE CIRCUIT COURT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

Mrs. Bell, Wife of Plaintiff Gave Clear Testimony as to the Quarantine Placed Over the Boarding House Which Husband Conducted. The case began yesterday afternoon and Mrs. Chas. Bell, the wife of the plaintiff was the first witness called to the stand.

Mrs. Bell seemed to have a very clear memory regarding the events in question and when questioned answered firmly and quickly on all points. She was most emphatic in her statements that Dr. Ryuo had promised her "husband that the city would recompense him for the loss, while his house was being used as a pest house and never wavered for a moment on this point. She testified also that after the disease broke out in their hotel that all of the boarders were confined and were not allowed to leave, but that as soon as the quarantine was lifted that all of them left and that from, twenty boarders her list fell to fifteen.

She was one of the best witnesses that the plaintiff had, her truthfulness being an evident quality. The case was adjourned today on account of the adsence of Atty. Brldgman. ROYAL AND ANCIENT EITS Investiture of the Kaiser's Son with an Order Prince Later Presides at a Ceremony, Berlin. March 19.

One "helping" hand Supplies are arriving LIGHTSHIP FOR THE LAKE FIRST LIGHTSHIP EVER PLACED ON THE LAKES TO BE CONSTRUCTED. Muskegon Firm Lands the Contract for Building a $40,000.00 Vessel. Craft to Be of Seaboard Tyic.

Will Carry Full Crew. Muskegon, March 19. The Racine Boat Manufacturing company of this city has just landed a government contract for a steel lightship for use on the great lakes, that marks a distinct innovation in the government policy of safeguarding the vessels on the lakes. The craft is a steel vessel over 88 feet in length, and built for the pur pose of marking the shoal In the lakes where it is stationed. It is like the ordinary vessel in the respect that it can be moved about at will by its own power.

It will be at a cost of The new lightship, which has been used on the seaboard for some time, but has never appeared on any of the inland lakes, is classified nauticallyas an auxiliary craft. It is equipped with its own power and can move about at will. Will Carry Regular Crew. On board is a regular crew which always remains with the ship. When a shoal is formed the boat sails to the danger point and is anchored there, remaining in that position at anchor until ordered elsewhere or other accommodation is made for marking the shoal.

It is wanted for work near Petoskey, which will be its first station. The hull will be built entirely of steel. One of the requirements of the contract is that everything in the construction of the craft be of American manufacture. The government is extremely strict about this and requires sufficient guarantee that this part of the contract will be followed to the letter before it lets out a contract. Boat is Double Decked.

The boat will be double decked, with the crew's quarters, the engine room and the storerooms below decks and the main saloon, dining room and galley in the cabin. Besides the light, the other accessories for warning a vessel from the shoal where it is stationed, the light ship Is equipped with a 700-pound bell placed on the forward deck and a single bell chime whistle, six inches in diameter, and fitted with a compound automatic valve.
