LET US

Reason Together!

If ready made clothing is good, stylish, cheap, perfect in fit and durable, where's the sense 'f paying extravagant prices for custom made?

And if Warner's Clothing represents better materials and keener tailoring wit than the average, where's the economy in buying the second rate?

But you don't know whether so is so. You can learn. Courteous salesmen stand ready to show you hundreds of suits and overcoats and to explain quality differences. This retail market knows nothing better than the $10, $12 and_$15

Suits,

$3, $4 and $5

Trousers, $8, $10 and $12

Spring Overcoats of this store. They're made to wear better, look better and give better satisfaction than any other clothing at the price anywhere.

Boys needs reccivethe same careful attention. We know what's wanted and make no mistakes.

THE STATE SCHOOL FUHD. Montgomery County Keoeives Over Eight Hundred Dollars More Than Paid In.

The apportionment of the State school fund has been made by the Deputy Superintendent of Publio Instruction. It shows the number of children in each county, the amount contributed by each oounty and the amount received from the State. Montgomery oounty reported 11,350 children, paid in $19,038,87 and received 819,862.50. This shows that Montgomery county received $824.63 more than it paid in. Usually the figures stand reversed on the ledger. Heretofore we have been receiving less than we paid in.

EeBults of Advertising.

Scott & Bowne, the proprietors of Scott's Emulsion, have just oompleted a handsome twelve story building on Fifth Avenue, New York, bnilt with the profits on that famous, because well advertised medicine. In a letter to the editor of this paper this^firm says: "It may interest you to know that this new and splendidly equipped building is the direct lesult of the publio appreciation of Scott's Emulsion. You are no doubt well aware that we belieue in advertising, and we are pleased to take this occasion of expressing our thanks to the newspapers and other periodicals of the country for their many courtesies, as well as to sav a word about the importance of advertising any artiof merit. While we naturally think that our great suceess would not have been possible unless Scott's Emulsion possessed superior merit, we do not underestimate the value of advertising, and we would suggest to every business man that in advertising he finds the best and quickest wny to public favor."

Presistent, intelligent advertising of any business under the sun, we care not what it is, will pay.

THE EXPEUTED BEBULT.

fie?. 0. W.'Switzer Entirely Vindicated at Brazil. The investigation demanded by Rev. G. W. Switzer at Brazil, resulted in his vinaication' and in the confusion of G, B. Chamberlain, of the Battle Ground Repository.

The

committee was called

to try the case and all Tuesday afternoon and night consumed in the trial. After organizing the committee the trial begun and we quote the proceeds from the Brazil Times:

The ohargee in the Repository were read aoousing Rev. Switzer of duplicity, false friendship, false advertising, breach of discipline, suing an estate for ministerial servioes, deceit, of endeavoring to prevent an investigation, and of calling meeting here to get a certificate of character. The meeting adjourned until :30 o'clock to allow the ohuroh to prepare the charges in a proper manner.

EVENING SESSION.

Rev.L.O.Buokells opened with prayer. The amended ohargee were then read. The church said they had no testimony to offer. Rev.S.P. Colvin moved that the Ootober and March copies of the Repository be admitted as testimony from Chamberlain, whioh was carried.

Chamberlain was then oalled to the ohair. His testimony was conflicting, evaeive and unsatisfactory, showing that there was a secret back of it all and that the attack was revengeful. Switzer suooeeded Chamberlin as secretary of the Battle Creek Camp Meeting Association and took the work when the association was $1,000 short, and, by hie able management, in one year's time had freed the association and had several hundreds of dollars in the treasury. This exoited Chamberlin's jealousy and he took the ooward's course for reyenge, that of attacking a private citizen through his paper. Chamberlin stumbled through the evidence, but offering not one reliable bit of information to substantiate his charges. It was all hear-say and inoompetent testimony,and soon convinced the audience that he knew absolutely nothing. In making these charges Chamberlin has resorted to a practice not only disgraceful in a member of the ohurch, but unbecoming an editor.

Rev. Switzer testified in a frank, open, honest, generous manner that stood out in bold relief when compared to the twitchety, hitchety manner in which the prosecuting witness gave in his evidence. He promptly denied every oharge. With reference to the charge of betraying confidence he offered an affidavit from George P. Haywood, prosecuting attorney in the Pettit case, in which he stated* he (Haywood) himself had received the information from Mrs. Whitehead, and also received from her that Switzer knew it, and permission from her to talk with Switzer concerning what Mrs. W.' had told Switzer, and that Switzer refused to converse with him until he was psrmitted to do so by Mrs. Whitehead, she having been jointly indioted with Pettit tor the murder of Mrs. Pettit. The conversation between Switzer and Haywood was not a divulging of any facts to Haywood, but only conversation concerning what Mrs. Whitehead had told at different times to each of them. Haywood also said that he was acquainted with Switzer during the whole of the Pettit trial and knew there was nothing Switzer had done that had in it the character of duplicity or dishonorable conduct. He also stated that the charge made against Switzer in the Repository was to his knowledge absolutely false. The affidavit of Haywood was a finely written paper and was commended by the entire audience as being a very strong and clear evidence in Switzer's favor. Switzer's testimony corroborated the affidavit in every particular.

Switzer produced a statement from the administrator of the Roudebuah estate and from Judge Harney, of the Montgomery cirouit court, stating that Switzer had been asked to file the claim by the administrator for ministerial services and that it was an oversight on the part of the administrator that it was not allowed. The judge said Switzer was not in the court room, nor was represented by an attorney, did not press theolaim and that he, the judge, allowed the claim at the request of the administratrator. Switzer's statement was that he never intended to sue and considered the filing of the claim the equivalent to signing a receipt to the administrator, which was occasionally done in receiving compensation for tuheral services.

With reference to the oharge of false advertising, Switzer testified that he had correspondence, which he produced, showing he had an engagement with every man whose name appeared on the camp meeting programme that these engagements are conditioned engage mente, as some of them were, and were so advertised, and were not broken until after the camp meeting programme had been issued.

The charge that Switzer had oalled an official meeting of the church board, which was private, was declared to be entirely false, and was so testified to by B. F. Kruzan and __ W. E. Carpenter, members of the board.

The testimony of Rev. Switzer laid open everything, correspondence and all, and completely cleared him from the slightest blame.

The attorneys for Chamberlain were pitied, as they were excellent, good ministers and friends of the defendant, but they had no case to work upon and were kept busy doing nothing.

The case was submitted to the committee without argument at 3 o'clock this morning, after an all night session, and resulted in the following verdiot:

YERDIOT:—The committee in the case of Rev. G. W. Switzer report unanimously.

None of the specifications are sustained. In the case of the second speci fication the following qualification is added to the negative: In that he did not intend to bring suit as shown by the sworn statements of the administra tor and the officers of the oourt.

AH UHFOBTUNATE HAPPENING. The Result of an Oversight—The Indiscreet Mr. Hamilton.

Mr. Isaao Clements felt at peace with all mankind last evening and after tea lighted his cigar and slowly strolled down town enjoying the beautiful evening and his beautiful surroundings in general. It was just such an evening as gives a peculiarly pleasant flavor to beer,and Mr. Clements casually dropped into Skid Galey's mission softly humming an old love tune. There were three or four worthy young men standing at the bar and as Mr. Clements was feeling well disposed toward everybody he called them each by name aud ordered drinks for all. Now, very unfortunately Jefferson Hamilton was in the background and in the free distribution of maltous liquor he was omitted not having been observed by the generous Mr. Clements. When the customary "here's lookin' at you" had been said by the crowd, the foam blown off and the schooners drained Mr. Clements made his adieu and left the place. Mr. Hamilton, whose sensitive nature had been deeply wounded by the slight which he believed had been intentionally put upon him, followed the object of his resentment out. Along about Mr. Bill Dickerson's shoe shop he overtook the unconsciously guilty Mr. Clements and thus addressed him. "I feel constrained to remark, Isaac, that your slighting treatment of me a few minutes ago in Mr. Galey's place of business was so marked and insulting that I can neither easily forget nor forgive it. It is true, perhaps, that I may have my shortcomings. We all have. Nevertheless my social position should have proteoted me from such an affront as was by you offered."' "Really Jefferson," responded Mr. Clements in a suprised and pained manner, "You do me a grave injustice. I now learn fo? the firet time that you were present at the time and place mentioned. Your remarks, my dear fellow, not only are unjust to me but they mark you as a blooming ohump." "Sii I" hissed Mr. Hamilton in reply, "your language is as offensive and insufferable as your odious treatment. Whatever may have been the previous opinion I entertained of you I herewith denounce you as a durned geaser. You never was nothin' but a onery slob, nohow."

At the close of his touching remarks Mr. Hamilton made a lunge at Mr. Clements with the loudly avowed purpose of "eating him up." He found, however, that he had bitten off considerably more than he could acceptably chew. When the smoke cleared away Mr. Hamilton was found to be in a somewhat helpless condition. Heap peared to have been run through a threshing machine, and, in very truth, he had. It will be some weeks before his erstwhile handsome face can be recognized even by his pet dog.

TOUCHED.

The Safe of Thomas Seering Bobbed of $104 at Noon. This noon while Thomas Seering, the proprietor of the planing mill on north Green street, was absent some one en. tered bis offioe and robbed the safe of $101 which it contained. The safe is of a prehistoric! pattern and is opened with a key which Mr. Seering has been accustomed to keep in a drawer above the relio of antiquity. When he left for dinner the money was there but when he returned it was gone. The police were notified and are now hustling about to find the thief. Of the money stolen $17 was in an envelope laid aside to pay the fine of George Little, the obedient and promising step-son of Mr. Seering and who participated in the assault on L. J. Coppage some weeks since.' It will doubtless grieve Georgie greatly to hear this money has been lost.

HAS SHE EL0PED7

Mrs. Prank Kincpid Leaves Her Home Unaer Shad Circumstances. Frank Kincaid lives on the farm of Jonathan Nutt, southwest of the city and until yesterday afternoon his wife lived with hiiu. Yesterday noon Kincaid came in from the fields and found his wife engaged in making him a shirt. It was tried on and after dinner he returned to his work accompanied by an eight year old orphan lad whom they were raising. It is not known whether or not Kincaid and his wife had a quarrel at noon but subsequent happenings seem to indioate that such was the oaee. Along in the afternoon Kincaid's seven year old daughter came to him in the field stating that her mother had sent her out to stay.

When Kincaid and the children'returned to the house in the evening they found it unoccupied. Mrs. Kincaid was gone together with her olothes and a lot of woolen goods recently purchased at the Yount mills. Kincaid came to town and oscertained that she had drawn $50 from the bank. Then an ugly explanation of the affair was suggested. It was charged that Bhe had eloped with George Largent, a hand who formerly worked for Kincaid and who has recently returned from the West. He had been observed hanging around Kincaid's place lately by the neighbors and his actions had caused much gossip among the neighbors.

Kincaid ascertained at the station that a man answering Largent's description had yesterday afternoon checked a new trunk to a point in Iowa where Mrs. Kinoaid has relatives. This but confirmed the elopement theory. Mrs. Kincaid was seen on the streets here at 6 o'clock this morning and the police are busily engaged in searching for her. It is generally thought, however, that she has left town. She is the daughter of John Eshelman, a well-to-do and reputable fanner living near New Richmond.

Kincaid left for the West to-day determined to find the runaways. He is much broken up over the affair and declared that he would kill Largent on sight.

THE ALDINE IN THE SOUP.

It Is Said That This Hotel Will be Unable to Fulfil its ContractsSpecial to The Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 25.—Ciroulars have been received here announcing that the Aldine (World's Fair) hotel of Chicago will be unable to fulfil its contracts. Many prominent citizens of this city and State including Gov. Matthews had engaged rooms and had paid many installments for lodging and meals. [The Aldine is the hotel started by Tom Cadwallader last fall and in whioh many citizens of this place had engaged rooms and had paid one or two install ments. The circulars

Bent

endorsements of Gen. Lew Wallace, Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle and other citizens of Crawfordsville. One of the gentlemen who had rooms engaged in the Aldine said a day or two ago that the hotel was not yet done but would be by June 1. Tom Cadwallader retired from the management about two months ago and the parties now in control are not known here.

The latter part of May the subscribers were notified that owing to increased price of building material, labor, provisions, etc., rates would have to be advanced 20 per cent., and the advance was paid. To-day they were notified that beoause of the great advance in cost of building material and the unexpected demands of labor the projectors were unable to proceed with the enterprise, but the hope was expressed that arrangements might be made by whioh others would assume the burden and carry the hotel forward to completion. Nothing was said about reimbursing subscribers. It develops that the president of the Aldine Hotel company is also president of the defunct Chemical National Bank, and the supposition is that the money paid on subscriptions has gone into this bank. Many of the smaller cities throughout Indiana were worked by the same scheme. It is estimated that fully $50,000 was gathered out of Indianapolis alone.
