Build up the town, establish law and order, rejuvenate old Wabash College, and grow. Montgomery county expects this of you and rejoices in every onward step.—fMiiogn Leader.
A Bad Oase.
Some time ago a well known grass widow of this city went to Lafayette in company with a young man. Nothing was heard of her until the other day when a Crawfordsville man who knew her by reputation met her in Lafayette learning the name of the young men with whom she left. They had not been married but were living as man and wife. Both are widely known here having leen residents of Crnwfoidsvilie for years.
More About Uncle Billy Osborne. A special to The JontxAt, from Waynetown this afternoon tells a few more words of the particulars of the accident to one of Waynetown's old citizens. It says: "He had bet-n to Jacob Beam's sale and on his road home his horse liecame frightened and ran away, tlirowing uncle Billy out on his face and left shoulder. He was unconscious for a good while, and even now, (four hours after the accident), he can't tell how anything happened. The horse ran on completely demolishing the vehicle. The accident may prove fatal.
Death Of Mrs. Ann Webster. Yesterday afternoon shortly after one o'clock Mrs. Ann June Webster died at her home on south Washington Btreet, after an illness of several months. The funeral will occur to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. It. J. Cunningham of fieiating, assisted by Rev. E. P. Thomson. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery.
Ann Jane Smock was born in Ken tnekv on April 25, 1825. At an early age she removed with her parents to Indiana and lived in Crawfordsville for over 30 ears previous to her death. In I860 she was united in marriage to Taylor Webster, whom she survived Mrs. Webster was a consistent member of the Center Presbyter ,'in church, and a lady, well known, and highly esteemed in the community.
Gossip on Gas.
J. II. Dilkes was over from Indianapolis to day on business connected with the piping of gas to the city. He had heard from the agent who is purchasing the right of way and states that ho meeting with little opposition although two or three cranks are howling around fearful of the gas exploding on their farms and killing the crops. One man who owns a fish pond don't want the line to go through his farm for fear there will be an explosion which will ruin his piscatorial prospects. A majority of the farmers are heartily in with the project, however, and a large number will have the gaa piped into their houses. The right of way will bo paid for outright and not in the manner of rentals as is done on many lines. Thorntown has as yet given the company no franchise, but her people are willing to frame a favorable one at any time.
Wabash College Talk.
A neat pamphlet similar to the one issued last year setting forth in a terse way the advantages of Wabash College has just appeared and will bo used at the coming teachers' institutes all over the State. There are two full pages illustra tions of I'eck Hall and Yandes Library Hall respectively. In the list of the faculty, the name of Hugh M. Kingeryi M. A.. appears in connection with the Williams chair of Latin while a blank loft for Rose professor of biology and geology. James II. Ransom is assistant in physics and chemistry and Ernest E, Fry is assistant in biology. The trus tees are making no particular effort to till the Faverweather Chair of Elocution and Rhetoric for the very good reason that the money from the Fayerweather estate is not yet forthcoming. The pamphlet also tells that 3300,000 have been added to the funds of the college in the last threo years. The total mini bar of students who have attended Wabash Collego is 4,005. The nnmlxjr of alumni up to date is 001, of which 500 are living.
My son has been afflicted with nasa catarrh Bince quito young. I was induced to try Ely's Cream Balm, and before he had used one bottle, that disagreable catarrhal smell had all left aim. He appears as well as nny one. It is the best catarrh remedy in the market. -J. C. Olmstead, Areola, HI.

WHAT WHISKERS WILL DO.
Th«y Will Change One So That nh Own Relations Won't Know lllm» A writer In the New York Star comments upon the bewildering oluvngc In a man's appearance which is often brought about by shaving the beard or letting It grow, and cites story re* lated to him by a lawyer, 'l'he lawyer was then wearing a heavy beard, which he had been cultivating, as he said, "since lust October."
The other day 1 was riding on the front platform of a street car, as I was smoking, when I saw a cousin of mine, with her husband and baby, get aboard. I had not seen her siuce the day she was married, in the summer of 18SS, and had never met her husband except on the night of the wedding. At that time I had only a mustache.
When they were seated in the car I nodded to her, but she did not return the salutation. I repeated it, but still there was no response. Evidently she did not recognize me, but for the fun of the thing 1 kept on nodding and smiling.
She legan to 1r disconcerted, and pretty soon I saw her whispering to her husband, who at once rose and made his way to the rear platform, where he spoke excitedly to the conductor. That worth}' came through the car, and, opening the front door, said to me: "You must cither stop Insulting the lady in the cur or get off. Her husband has complained of your conduct."
I assured him that I had no wish to insult anyone, and as lie began to get excited I passed into the car, and, taking hold of a strap, leaned over the lady and said: "Why, Minnie, how are yon?"
She looked at me for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Cousin Eddy! How do you do? I didn't know you with your whiskers."
The car was pretty full, and as all hands had understood that I was complained of, there was a general laugh at this unexpected turn of affairs.
BRITAIN'S WHITE BUFFALOES
A Peculiar Herd of Wild Cattle That Still ExUtg In England. At Chillingham, near Carlisle, upon the estates of the earl of Tankerville, says the San Francisco Examiner, is a herd—or the remnant of a herd—of wild white cattle, the history of which is not known but they are supposed to have been fenced in or inclosed accidentally possibly hundreds of years ago.
The herd numbers about seventy and does not increase for a great many years past the number of head has been nearly the same. They are extremely shy in the summer, but in the winter, when fed upon hay, they can be inspected at tolerably close quarters. They have certain points of the buffalo which show in the head and hump, but their horns are considerably longer and sharper. No person has been known to have been attacked or iujured by tliein. They are of a small stature, not being much larger than a good-sized Jersey cow, but their heads and chests are certainly very fine. It is a great pity that no trace can be found of their past history, as they are the only band of wild cattle known to be in existence in England. The present nnd past earls of Tankerville have been offered large sums for some of them, but all offers have been refused, P. T. Itarnuin, amongst others, having offered a fabulous sum for two or three head for his circus.
A QUEER MISTAKE.
Where a Fly Speck Made a Dlflcrcnce of Three Thounand ['omul*. In one of our large establishments connected with the iron industry there occurred a few days ago an apparent discrepancy in the accounts, involving a matter of three thousand pounds of scrap i. n. The clerks of the department were set to work to unravel the tangled skein, and after they had expended two whole days in the search they were compelled to give up the task and pronounce it beyond their comprehension. Thus matters stood ior several days.
Several days later, says the Philadelphia Record, the oflicc boy decided to keep himself In practice in addition by footing up a column of figures on a sheet which was lying on a desk beside him in the scrap iron departmentBending his energies to the task, ho got along swimmingly with the units, tens and hundreds columns, but when he came to the fourth column lie could not make it agree with the footings set down. Again and again he tried it, and with the same result—three thousand less. Going over tho figures one by one, his attention was drawn to a queer-looking one. A flyspeck was beside it in such a position as to make it appear like a four, and as such it had been counted by each of the clerks in the department. The boy had earned his promotion, and he got it,
Hannibal Hamlin's Humor* As a great matter may hang by thread, so it was a weak little hair that once defeated Hannibal Hamlin for seat in the senate. In the days when Hamlin was speaker of the Maine ossem bly there was a sensitive member from a city district whose approaching baldness caused him great concern. To this gentleman Mr. llamlin one day in sportive manner said: "Blank, old fel low, you've got one of your hairs crossed over the other." "You insult me, sir, replied the indignant member, and In memory of that fancied insult he afterwards voted against Mr. llamlin when the future vice president was a candidate for the senate, and his vote de feated him.
California's Natural Itrldge. California enjoys the distinction of having the only railroad that runs on the topsof trees. This peculiar piece of engineering is in Sonoma county, between Clipper Mills and Stuart Point, where the railroad crosses a deep ravino in the center of which are two huge redwood trees, side by side. These giants have been sawn off seventy-five feet above the bed of the creek, and tho timbers and ties are laid on these tall stumps. This natural tree bridge is considered to be equal in safety to a bridge built on Uie most scientific prin clplcs.
