For Sheriff1.

Charles E. Davis is announced in today's JOI'K.N AT.as a candidate foi*reuoinination for Sheriff of Montgomery county 1. ifore the Republican convention. Mr. Davis is the present Sheriff. He is serving his first term and it is conceded by all, both Democrats and Republicans, that he has made a most excellent officer. His thorough and intelligent knowledge of the oijice has been of great service to him in the discharge of his duties. There will probably be no other candidate as the custom has been to give a faithful and efficient office, a second race, and as Mr. Davis has come up to all the requirements it has been conceded that he will be nominated without opposition and by acclamation.

After Everything lu Sight.

The Afro-American Protective Association will meet to-night for business. One of the members states that the league will support those candidates at the coming Republican primary who agree to vote to give the the colored man representation in office if elected. The candidates will be approached and those promising to subsidize the colored vote in the manner mentioned will be supported. This arrangement is strongly suggestive of ring rule.

DETERMINED TO DIE.

•John CtMlar*, of Wayne Towutrtiip, Attempt* Suicide Ky llauging and Cutting Bit Throat.

Special to Tlio Journal. WATXKTOWN, March 2.—"Uncle" Johnny Cedars, aged 02 years, made a determined effort to end his life this morning by cutting his throat from ear to ear, inflicting a gash eleven inches long. He is still alive aud may yet recover. Yesterday morning he hung himself in his barn but was discovered and cut down. This morning he went to the smoke house hjjfore breakfast and placidly cut his throat. He gasped to those who found him that he was unable to endure the strain caused by his wife's sickness. The death of his son. George, a few months ago also deeply affected him. Mr. Cedars is wholly uneducated but is a large land owner and a money lender. He is an uncompromising Democrat and an old school Baptist, well liked and respected by all who know him.

Sam WHS Astounded.

Sam Kepler was thirty-four years old yesterday but he had forgotten all about it until in the evening- when about twenty-five of his neighbors and friends dropped in on him.

Miss Ann Jackman completed a visit of a week with friends and returned to Darlington yesterday.

Miss Landis, of New Market, visited her brother Sam this week at his boarding house on College street.

Misses Stella Bowen and Retta Wendling, of Roachdale, arc attending the Endeavor convention and visiting the Misses Vansandt on John street.

I was amused one day this week to hear a man undertake to defend and explain the Cleveland, Gresham and Smith pension policy, with all the dignity of a statesman and the assurance aud cheek of a ward politician, lie would make you believe that the policy was all wool and a yard wide and that this government had been robbed by a lot of thieves and villains. He reared his skeleton up aud no one tried to push it down but it would not stand alone and with all the props and daubing he could use ^it -would not stand. The truth is wo would not have had any government to be robbed if all of its subjects had been of the san« MntimentK as this man.

TRIBE OF BEN-HUR.

Simonides Court, No. 1, Instituted ill This City Last Evening.

FOUR HUNDRED SONS AND DAUGHTERS

The Biggest Affair of (lie Klml iu CrawfortUvllle's History—A Banquet That Is Without Precedent—An Aug* piclous Bcgiunlng.

Yesterday was a gala day for Crawfordsville. It was a Ben-dlur day. The badges of the Tribe of Beu-IIur were seen everywhere, proudly worn by the Sons and Daughters of llur. The Tribe, its purposes, its marvelous growth and its wonderful possibilities was discussed upon the streets, in the stores, in the shops and nearly all the homes of our beautiful, wide awake city. The city was full of strangers who admired the great book, Ben-llur, and came to express their admiration for the gifted author by membership in Simonides Court No. 1. of the Tribe of Ben-llur, The hotels were full to overflowing and the citizens generously entertained the strangers who could not have otherwise been accommodated. It was a joyful day. an enthusiastic day, a Ben-llur day. The Supreme Chief, ex-Gov. Ira J. Chase, was unable to be present on account of a previous engagement in evangelistic work at Council Bluffs. In his absence the institution and instruction of the Court devolved upon Past Supreme Chief, D. W. Gerard, assisted by the officers and members of the Supreme Tribe.

The programme indicated p. mi as the hour for initiation of candidates, to be followed by the election of officers. Long before that hour the. anteroom of the P. O. S. of A. hall and the corridors and hallways of the Joel block were crowded with men and women desirous of membership. Promptly at 2 p. m. the initiation began. The obligation was administered by the Supreme Teacher, Rev. II. A. Tucker. D. D., in classes of fifty, until over two hundred men and women were obligated and made Sons aud Daughters of llur. After the secret work was given the following named persons were chosen as the officers of the Court for the ensuing year:

Past Chief—Robert A. Boss. Chief—George Graham. Judge— Gus Truitt. Teacher—Rev. ,T. W. Green, 1). I). Scribe—Mrs. C. M. Scott. Keeper of Tribute—Mrs. Lueiuda Glover.

Captain—D. AY. Cox. Guide—John L. Williams. Keeper of Inner Gate—Charles Hirst. Keeper of Outer Gate—J. A. 51c-Clui-e.

After the election of officers the Court adjourned until 7 p. m. At the evening session nearly as many persons were initiated as in the afternoon, making a total number of those.initiated during the day of about 100. The list of charter membership numbers 422 persons and fully 100 more applied after the charter was closed. Many charter members could not be present yesterday 'but are entitled to membership in the'Court so soon as they present themselves for obligation and instruction. After all had been obligated and instructed the oilicers elect were installed by P. S. G. 1J. W. Gerard, arsisted by the Supreme Captain. George W. Markley.

Promptly at Si p. m. the members repaired to the V. M. C. A. armory to partake of the banquet, prepared by the ladies of the Christian church, under the direction of the Supreme Tribe. The ladies had anticipated every want. The banquet was served in three courses. In quality, quantity and perfect, service it could not be excelled. W. T. Brush was the toastmaster and filled the difficult position admirably. The toasts and responses were as follows: "The Tribe of Ben-Tlur:" 1. II. C. Royse, Terre Haute. Ind. "The Author of Uen-Ilur:" lie v. J. W. Greene. "The Future of the Tribe:" Jesse Summers. Indianapolis. Ind. "The Daughters of llur II. C. Yount, Covington. Ind. "The Sons of llur:" Alex. M. Scott, Ladoga. Ind. "The Supreme Tribe:" Dr. II. A. Tucker.

W. S. Roney, of Terre Haute, favored the 'lribe with a bass solo. "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." His rendition was superb and was cheered to the echo.

The Tribe of Ben-llur, if judged by its wonderful growth and popularity since its organization, Jan. 10. of this year, will soon become one of the largest benevolent fraternal orders in the country. In comparison with the history of similar organizations, it far outstrips them in the earlier years of their existence. The largest fraternal order, when three years old, numbered less than one tlionsand members. It now numbers at twenty-five years old, 335,000. Another leading one. organized twelve years ago, has 140,000 members, but at the expiration of the first year of active work it had a membership, of less than 700. The. Tribe of Beil-Hur, less than two months old. has over 1,000 persons upon its roll of membership. Conservative estimates place the membership by January 1st, 1805, at 5,000. while other persons, well versed in this class of secret orders, estimate the membership at that time at 10,000. A careful investigation of the subject indicates that the latter estimate will be nearest the correct estimate. Drawing, as it does, its lessons, teachings and inspiration, from the best book of this century, more widely known and oftener read and re-read than any other book, save the liible:

organized in and having a permanent abiding place at the home of its gifted author: teaching only the purest lessons and illustrating the highest principles of Christian civilization recognizing the right of woman to participate with man in the work of making the world purer and better by fraternal association and organized benevolence: with a carefully prepared and eminently just system of insurance for its members, it cannot fail of success. It is destined to become a popular order, and the day is not far distant when in every, city, town and hamlet the Sons and Daughters of llur will be gathered into courts, thus forming a wonderful tribe, whose purposes for good will rival the work of the noble lien-IIuL' in his unselfish devotion to the cause of our common lyimanity.

Walker Whiteflldes.

Walker Whitesides and his talented company, in an exceedingly attractive repertoire of classic dramas, will make his appearance at Music Hall in this city at Wednesday evening. March 7, •in "Hamlet." When one remembers that this actor, of only twenty-five, appears in a role of characters which has made famous the names of the world's greatest tragedian, and is able to even at this early age. hold spellbound the most refined and cnltured audiences by his finished, complete and comprehensive interpretations of.

Shakespearean characters, it seems almost incredulous and marvelous that he should, in the ljlooin of youth, attain to a prominence and distinction only accorded to others after years of hard and patient toil. Ilis acting is artistic aud suggestive. He has abandoned traditional methods altogether, and not once resorts to rant or claptrap business to arouse the audience, but paints and pictures, giving light and shade, until, when finished, the audience realizes that it has seen a true work of art.
