Off,

is no small matter, when

you consider the low figures goods were sold at before the sale commenced.

What is the use of you placing your money in the bank, drawing 5 or 6 per cent, per annum, when you can invest in a suit or overcoat and make 20 per cent, at once, besides having the benefit of appearin? well-dressed for the com-

O

ing season.

This is a great opportunity

and we want all of our old friends and as many new ones as possible to receive the benefit of this sale.

This is a free-for-all race. They are coming at a very fast clip. The first in the house are the first served.

We are verj busy waiting on trade, and see that the community appreciate our endeavor to make this sale a success.

Next Saturday will be a great da)* with us. Our friends from the country will swarm in our place in droves and must be waited on. So, patrons of the city can readily see that more attention can be given them during the other days of the week. Please as many as possible call to-day and tomorrow.

Don't forget our motto:

Everything goes

On Saturday afternoon Steve Allen, Gus Karle, Bnnty Hollund BDd liveryman George McDonnld were out with their high stepping steeds and for a time made things diray as they coursed through the principal streets. They got on Washington street and from Pike to Market came four abreast, neck and neck. The police attempted to arrest them but they were driving too swiftly. So Marshal Brothers filed affidavits against each of them and Saturday night after the thoroughbreds were stabled and blanketed garnered their owners in. They gave bond for their appearance this morning when they were duly fined by Mayor JBindel. Their driving was reckless in the extreme and could not, be overlooked bv the authorities.

Miss Hue Tale,

It Does Apply to Orawfordsville. TIM Journal stated a few days ago that the act of the Legislature intro dnced by

Senator Mcllugli, 0' Tippecanoe.

changing the term of city officials from two to four years did not apply to cities of less than 10,000 inhabitants. This statement was made on the strength of what appeared in the Indianapolis papers, but through the kindness of W. L. Hulett'we have received a copy of the bill and no where is this limitation specified in it. Therefore, it does apply to Crawfordsvillo and affects the terms of the piesent officials as follows:

Mayor, Clerk, Marshall^and Treasurer will hold office until the first Monday in September, 189-t, instead of May us now provided and their eucceseore elected in May, 1894, will hold for four years beginning in September, 1895.

Councilmen Smith, Vanarsdall Rnd Scott whose terms expire 'in 1893 will hold Until May, 1894, and Counsilmen Reynolds, Tomlinson and Myers whoBe terms expire in 1894 will hold until May, 189(i. After that councilmen will be elected for four years.

The bill has passed both houses of the Legislature, but has not yet been sign ed by the Governor. It is a job of the first wi-iter in the interest of the city officials of LoFayette, l'erre Haute, Fort Wayne and other places and passed in spile of tremendous influences brought to boar against. As far as Crawfordsville iB concerned it will save us the expensy of an election this year and no one will object to the continuance of our present efficient city government.

A DUTOfl SYNUIOATB

Will Soon Owu-Our Natural Gas Plant—A Statement From Mr. Ramsey. According to a call published in The Joukkal the local stockholders of the People's Natural Gas Company met at the office of the Indiana Live Stock Insurance Company Saturday evening.

There were about twenty-five gentlemen there representing probably every share of stock held in Orawfordsville. Col. I. C. Elston^was made chairman of the meeung and Capt. R. E. Bryant, secretary. A. F. RauiBey, president of the company, thon slated the object of the meeting and explained the circumstances leading up to it. The Chester Pipe and Tube Company, said he, which owns a majority of stock wrote him about six weeks ago saying they desired to sell in order to invest the money elsewhere. They offered to sell their stock to the local shareholders for 8140,000. Mr. Ramsey consulted a few of the heaviest holders and after carefully considering the matter they decided that the money could not bo raised here. Later the Chester people wrote again saying that they were about to sell to a syndicate in New York for $143,000. To an inquiry of Mr. Ramsey they replied that it was not the Standard Oil Company but they were not at liberty to Bay who it was any further than that it was a Dutch syndicate. Then Mr. Ramsey wrote to find out if the syndicate would take the minority stock too and learned that they did not want it. But Mr. Ramsey wrote again and then the Chester people said that the minority could be sold for S87 per share, an advance of $7 over what it cost. But as tlw majority stock was to be sold something like $92 Mr. Ramsey was not satisfied and protested that it should all gn at the same price. Finally the Chester people said they had made arrangements with the Dutch syndicate to take the entire stock at 890. However, the first proposition of the Chester Pipe and Tube Con.pany to sell to Orawfordsville people for 8140,000 was still open. Mr.

Ii.imsey said ho was still ready to be one of ten or more men to take it at that price or he would sell out at $90 to the Dutch syndicate. But he advised each stockholder to do as he pleased and act on his own judgment, only remembering not to blame him if the new owners did not treat them fairly. It had been predicted by many that the small stockholders would be squeezed out but that had not occurred and besides they were now offered to sell otiL at a profit, of 12J par cent, on a year's investment. Mr. Uamsev further said that he had tried three tiuioB to borrow the §140,000 to purchase the Chester Pipe and Tube Company's interest, but owing to the failure of gas iu so many places he was unable to do so. In closing Mr. Ram say said that if the sale occurred there would be nothing to regret at all as we had accomplished our main purpose, which was to bring gas to Orawfordsville and no raise in prices could possibly occur. There was a disposition among a few to make an effort to keep the concern in the hands of a home company but the general feeliug was that such movement was impracticable and in a few minutes every one had signed an agreement to dispose of his stock at $90 a share, to be paid for in cash at the Citizens' Bank on or before March 28. The paper was taken to Thorntown today for ths stockholders there to sign. The company is within $2,000 of being out of debt and it was the intention to declare a small dividend in a short time. S.ock has been on the market for several months in a quiet way and selling at $80, and even lower, but it was not bought up by Mr. Ramsey, Capt. Herron, 0. M. Crawford or P. 0. Somerville, the only ones who knew that there would soon bp a chunce to sell at an advance. There was a general feeling of appreciation toward the Chester Pipe and Tube Co. for their fair dealing in thematter and to Mr. Ramsey, not only for his good faith toward all the stockholders and his efforts in their behalf, but also because it was due to his personal efforts more than to anything else that we hare gna at all, and that we have such excellent service where other towns have had such poor t-orviee. Mr. Ramsey has acted as president of the company without a cent of salary, and more than that has paid all of personal expenses amounting to $2,000 or more. Such public spirit deserves general recognition and should bo an example for every business man in the city.

A WELL MERITED TRIBUTE. Mu.vcie, Ind., Sept. 1, 1892.

DICK.'

Remarkable Career of a Remarkable Vharacter. Dr. Goo. B. McCiellan "Diamond Dick," who created so much excitement in this city nine years ago by his wonderful cleverness in healing chronic diseases, remaining with us four months, made his appearance to-day for the first time since his departure nine years ago. His success has been the wonder of the age, has now a large infirmary at Leavenworth, Kansas, has been traversing Indiana this summer. He comes direct from Elkhart. The following is clipped from the Daily Truth of that city. It speaks very highly of his great success of ten weeks' stay: "For several weeks a conspicuous figure upon the streets and about the office and corridors of Hotel Bucklen has by hie attractive figure, tall, lithe and W'li proportioned, and the great wealth of lung flowing hair, as well as by his peculiar manner and carriage excited no end of comment and speculation. He arrived in the city unheralded and unannounced, and his first appearance on the street in a flashy turnout was attended with somewhat of a sensation. But 'Diamond Dick' understands the secret of a greater part of his wonderful success as a onev maker and the aid of the job printer and newspaper whs soon enlisted and all tho town soon hoard of this remarkable individual. "He advertised as a healer of the ills of human flesh and explained that his mode of treatment was through herbal remedies entirely, .a science he acquired from the Indians, with whom a greater part of his life has been spent. "His announcements found readers and brought him a long list of patients and, what is a splendid commentary on his success, their numbers have constantly increased from day to day.

Many persons are skeptical in regard to the doctors of 'Diamond Dick's style, the long haired, prairie-reared cowboyIndian kind, and it is not to be wondered at, for murn unscrupulous impost9rs travel over the country literally robbing the people, but from a collection of many hundred testimonials that Dr. McClelland has received during hitcareer as a medicine man, and among which are scores of grateful letters from Elkhart patients, it is seen that hitcures are remarkable and that he cer tainly has a way of reaching the enemy of good health and happiness. "Dr. McClelland has had a remarkable' career and recites many interesting nar ratives of his life with the frontiersmen and Indians, with whom he has always been friendly and the latter of whom have a wholesome respect for his physical bravery and daring, elements of character that appeal moBt strongly to the aborigine's appreciation.

Born in New York State, he was taken Mexico at the age of nine by an uncle who died Bhortly after, and young Mc Clelland was thrown upon his own resources. He was knocked about as any oommon waif until his sixteenth year, when he was taken to Boston by an Indian medicine man of South America for whom he acted as intepreter. It was here that 'Diamond Dick' became known so Boston and all Yankeedom as the 'Boy Indian Medicine man' Bnd created a sensation though only 16 years old. He bat recently celebrated his 35th birthday.

Once thoroughly launched upon this lite, he has ever since followed it, with intervals of rest each year, when ho spends a few exciting weeks with his friends on the plains, the IndianB.

He first originated the idea of traveling troops of Indians to sell "Sagwa" and has had various companies on the road.

His tales of daring on the plains would fill several volumes and he is proud of the fact that he could gain access to the great Sioux chief, Sittin Bull, when after the massacre at Wounded Knee in December of 1891, Buffalo Bill and others of the sullen chief's old friends could not win his good pleasure, He exhibits a buckskin oorit, tanned for him by the warrior who died' from the scouts' bullets just three days after "Diamond Dick's" departure from I lie

camp. Diamond Dick will be at Ladoga Feb. 16, 17, 18 and 19 and at Pittsboro Feb. 20, 21 and 22, and at Crawfords-

ville Feb. 23, 24 and 25. I Go to Colmau & Murphy's for vur.r I new suit of clothes.

Roth desperate, both doterniinrd! The King of mcdicincs in contest with the Kim: of Maladies! Dr Pierce's Golden AluUical Discovery against "Consumption!" It is not the struggle of a day, but the lirst blows are tho fatal blows! In its eariy stages, Consumption (.vhieh is Lung-scro-fula) will .vield to this great lteinedj This has been proven beyond a doubt by innumerable successes! Acting directly upon the blood, its scope includes all scrofuluts affections, Liver and Lung diseases. As a blood-purifier and vitalizer, it stands uuoqualed
