PHOSPHATE CITY The speaking began late Tuesday night in Dunnellon because the stores II do not close before 9 oclock but when 1 the ball was started it rolled merrily 1 for three hours and accorded the Star reporter much pleasure to say it was the most sympathetic and responsive I audience the candidates have struck since tlTey started to cross the desert of despair to the shores of hope Blttinger was the first speaker and consumed his fifteen minutes and a little more He said he believed in all the agencies that go to make up the procession of progress and prosperity and that such advancement meant taxesnot to be wasted but administered in the Interest of the taxpayers That the voters of Dunnellon might not mistake his position he assured them thatone of the things that would confront the legislature that is to be eiected and would legislate for thft state for the next two years was the question of state prohibition and he for one would vote to permit the sovereigns of the stare to pass on that very important and vital question if they preferred state prohibition to local option and in dQing this he was conceding a right of free government to those whose votes would either dominate the question and relegate for another campaign Mr Blttinger said he believed in the best schools longest terms and best teachers our school tax money could supply in good roads and the fosterIng of that progressive spirit in keepIng faith with our Confederate veterans I erans in liberal pensions not as an act of charity but as an obligation and reward they had bravely honorably and patriotically earned In other words he believed in the people getting the worth of their taxes and if economy and savings could be made along lines of the expenditure of said taxes to see it was done by the public servants who legislated for the people and those who disbursed them Light followed and he by Cam and their speeches were identically as those delivered on former occasions except that Mr Light never once peeped as to how he stood on the prohibition question but he had a plan to increase valuation 160 million and reduce taxation or cut present taxation in two but failed to tell his wrought up audience what was the secret of such a marvelous transformation Some think he proposes to work a miracle convert every taxpayer in the state who will bring ev pry item of hidden wealth from its biding place and reveal it to the tax aEsessor and immediately the civic millennium will dawn The picture made Alfred Ayers eyes dance with joy for in the eight Sears he has been searching for this hidden wealth he has signally failed to find it and It has caused this popular and efficient officer much poignant regret Messrs Wv Long and Joseph Bell pleaded for the county juhgeship the former to be elected to the office and in this connection he related the fact of making his first public speech made hi Ocala fortyeight years ago which appeared ip the Star yesterday and his service for the county in the past and notwithstanding his advanced years he vas competent mentally as ever for the position he sought Judge Bell who has many friend3 and supporters in Dunnellon followed and made a most pentinent talk which was received with favor and 4 from the applause at the conclusion of his remarks he was in the housp of his friends The candidates for sheriff then took the stand Edwards first followed by Miller Smoak and John Galloway The candidate for tax assessor reenacted the possum and persimmon story but in this instance Phillips leading stole all of Ayers thunder an1 funny jokes aifc placed him at a slight disadvantage reiterating he would employ no more boys in his office to come up like Banquos ghost to i steal his daily bread but would employ girls for clerical duties whb would not aspire to his position Messrs Graham and Carney came next and as Mr Carney came last he made a fine presentation for himself Then the candidates forcounty commissioner from the fifth district Mr Dow Beck making his plea first and saying he did not think Mr i thews had done much for his constituents and spoke slightingly on the condition of the county roads in his district same being almost impassable and he could not see how IrM ccjild fulfill the promises he made the people of the fifth district as only a few cents belonged to the fund and didnt see how the Dunnellon road contracted for could be paid But Mr Carney assured Mr Beck that some 30000 had been collected since the first of April and in addition to this there would be 10000 in taxes collected this month making 40000 and of which the road fund would receive its share Mr Mathews the present incumbent of the office replied saying he had not only promised but fulfilled those promises That he had secured for Dunnellon two steel bridges one across the Withlacoochee river and one across Blue Run each costing 1 600 that he secured the letting of jiine miles of hard road from Dunnel lon toward Ocala and the contractors were now energetically at work building same So It did seem as if his promises had been fulfilled for which statement he was heartily applauded MrBen Freyermouth another candir didAe was not present Then came Profs Brinson and Er i 7 Jr 4 7 win candidate for superintendent of public instruction and both made good talks especially Prof Brinson who had grasped the idea of what should constitute the qualifications of the incumbent of that important office and how he should conduct himself the administration of his duties At this juncture Dr Griffith the Dunnellon candidate for the legislature appeared in the audience he having been called away to attend a patient early in the evening He said everybody in Dunnellon knew him and he would not weary them but promised to serve them faithfully if honored Mr Asher Frank aspirant for registration officer was the last but not lease of the candidates and blushed his thanks most gracefully Ikey has a lot of friends In Dunnellon who will look out for him on election day Dunnellon does things and the candIdates will appreciate this important fact more fully after the 19th of May JAMES PHILLIPS Candidate for Tax

Women and Three Children Bijrned to Death of Same Lot a Few pays AgoTwo Bodies Identified Laporte Ind May 60ne of the most gruesome murder mysterious ev el unearthed in this section of the country came to light when the bodies oi five persons all of them murdered were found in the yard of the home of Mrs Belle Guinness who with three of her children was burned to death on the night of April 28 So far only two of the bodies have teen identified These are Andrey Helgelein who came to this city from Mansfield for the purpose of marrying Mrs Guinness whose acquaintance he ImdSjnade through a matrimonial bureau The other is thai of Jennie Olson Guinness a Chicago girl who had teen adopted by Mrs Guinness The other bodies were those of a man and of two children So many bones were missing in the latter two that it is not known whether they were male female None of them have been identified It is believed by the authorities that Guy Lamphere who has been under arrest since the burning of the Guinness home on the charge of murderIng Mrs guinness and her family committed the Helgelein crime Lam phere isa carpenter and the manner in which the body of Helglein was dismembered leads to the belief that i LaS done by somebody familiar with the use of a saw In some quarters it is believed that Mrs Guinness may have known something of the murders of the five people There have been rumors tljat Jennie Olson Guinness had knowledge of the manner in which the first husband of Mrs Guinness caine to his death in Chicago It is known that Helgeleinhad loaned 1500 to Mrs Guinness and that he had another 1500 in his possession just prior to his death It is believed that he was killed by Mrs Guinness or by Lamphere or by both of them in order tO procUre the cash he had and to avoid the necessity of the repaying of the loan he had made Lamphere against whom a strong case of circumstantial evidence exists in connection with the burning of the Guinness home and the death of Mrs Guinness and her three children denies all knowledge of the bodies fdund today It was current gossip however that Lamphere was insanely jealous of Mrs Guinness and of Helglein and it is well known that the woman stood greatly in rofhim and had asked for police protection The search by which the bodies were found was instigated by John Helgelein the brother of Andrew who has always believed that his brother vas a murderer He noticed somere cehtly upturned earth in the yard and uggested to Sheriff Smutzer that an excavation be made The body of his brother was dug up after a tyrief search I
