I** Kvlilentl.v Feeding Ou Some of CrawfunlHvillv'M Colonnl Brothers.

For several days past there has been a growing wonder among such of our citizens as have had carpets to beat, irardeiis to weed, or work of a similar character to be done, as to what animated a number of well known colored folks -to seek employment so assiduously. Even those of the Willie Garr stripe trot a move on themselves and actually went to work. The cause of all this startling hustle seems to be a desire to become very rich very suddenly. Some days ago a slick old coon giving the name of T. 1'. Groves struck the town and taking up his headquarters at the A. M. K. church began to unfold his philanthropic plans to the gaping throngs that listened. Groves is a sweet philanthropist and desires to lead the colored race to wealth and glory at the marvelously low price of •v. a head, lie claims to have "discovered"!.GOO acres of choice mineral land in Montana between Butte City and Helena. This land is full of gold and silver, great chunks of it sticking out the ground. Now instead of gobbling this choice find up for himself

Mr. Groves decided to use it to benefit the colored folks and so made up a stock company to mine the place. He became the agent of this company and goes about over the country to point out to colored people the wonderful advantages of the place and induce them to go there, lie sells stock to gullible colored people at S5 a share and pitches in for good measure a lot feet by 100 feet with every share, lie gives "deeds" for ttiese lots which are instruments beautiful to behold. When Groves told the Crawfordsville lish what he intended to do it kept him busy tending to his books. They bit in droves and a grand scramble began at once to raise the necessary S5. Last night the "books of the company were opened for subscribers and George Crittenden. Willie Thomas. Bill Patterson, George Glover and others planked down their S5 and got •shares" which will no doubt make '.hem independently wealthy. Groves is still here and will probably work a number of others.

The Mu*h-h1 Amateurs Cloae the Season. The last meeting of the Musical Amateurs for this year was held last evening at the Kaldwiu music store. Each member had the privilege of inviting two guests and in consequence the room was crowded. The performers under the inspiration of such a large and sympathetic audience did their very best and the evening was a most enjoyable one. The programme was one selected by the president, Mrs. Coss. from the various programmes of the year. It was as follows:

THAT THEOLOGICAL COMBAT.

noticed in ye.--te.day Jovkxai.a bugle call for a wordy combat, to settle a theological dispute, which never has and never will be settled, save in the individual mind. "Mighty men of war" have harangued audiences in times past and accomplished nothing more than to increase intolerant partisanship among the followers of each. "Convince a man against his will'' is never truer than in theological discussion. If, however, there must be a contest, let them empiov a competent stenographer to take down the actual utterances of each combatant and see how proud they will be of it after the smoke of battle lias cleared awav. 1 think a better way would be to select one or more newspapers of general circulation and publish pro and con at least four articles ou each proposition and let the people read, meditate and decide without the ever piesent excitement when discussions are held.

Some singular anomalies present themselves sometimes among the clergy. There's Brother iiowe

The challenger stands forth as the defender of the Christian church. Which of all tue denominations is the Christian church? Are not all of them followers of Christ according to individual conviction? Are all the members of other denominations dishonest pretenders? 1 hope not. "I am the vine, ye are the branches," not the branch. "Faith, hope and charity, but the greatest of these is charity. "With charity for all and malice toward none, let us learn to do the right as God gives us to know the right." and all may be Christians, whether the name be John. George. William or Jacob, binding up wounds instead of making them. 1. K. G. X.

A NEW SCHOOL 1SUILDIXG.

The Council Will Probably Te*ue Sltf.OOO In Bonde to Replace the \Villiou School HuiLling.

The special meeting of the council last evening to consider the new school building matter, while it resulted in no definite action nevertheless seemed to indicate that the tliiug could go through and the new building be erected. The unavoidable absence of Mr. Vanarsdall prevented action beinj taken last evening but on next Mon day evening a determining vote will be taken. The committee composed of Messrs. Wilhite and Robinson, reported unfavorably but the report was re jected. Mr. Robinson maintained tliat to issue 818,000 in bonds new would prevent the city buying the water works in case they were offered for sale or taking stock in any new water company. The school board. Prof. Wellington and Mr. McCampbell -=ft.l 1 made remarks showing the pressing need of a new building and demon strating that the repair or enlargement of the Willson building would be very impracticable. The council fin ally adjourned to meet next Monday evening to settle the matter. In th meantime the council will visit th Willson building and look over the situation from every standpoint. If the issue of SIS.000 in bonds is made the old building will be at once torn down and a handsome new edifice go up on itsnsite.

Before the meeting adjourned Treasurer Xicholson was ordered to pay off 85,000 of the electric light bonds on June 1.

Killed In Ftillfl City, N«*b.

Last evening Hobert Harris, residing four miles north of this city, received a telegram to-day that his son Will had been killed Sunday night in Kails City, Xeb. Xo particulars were given and as yet the manner of his death is unknown. The body will arrive here to-night and the funeral will probably occur here to-morrow conducted by Rev. T. J. Shuey. Will Harris was 38 years old and left here about three years ago. lie married a daughter of Aaron Snyder but she died five years ago.

Iforfte's Shoulder Broken.

Will Douglas started Sunday evening for Beckville, riding his horse, which he intended to put on pasture there. When near Mace the animal stumbled in the new gravel and fell on its rider's leg. The soft gravel saved the boy, but the horse's shoulder was broken, rendering it necessary to kill the poor beast. The horse was worth 875 and its loss is quite a blow to Will.

In Jail.

Fred White, the notorious negro desperado, was yesterday bound over to the circuit court in the sum of S.'iOO for attempting to kill ollicer Crimes. In default

bail he is in jail.

THE EXD.

Evatigeliite Uowei anil Cpdike "15Id Farewell to Crawfordsville.

A large audience listened to Rev. t'pdike's farewell sermon to the Crawfordsville people. Every seat was occupied and many stood up. while scores were turned away.

Rev. Updike took for his text Rev.. 17. "And the Spirit and the bride say come, and let him that liearetli say come: and let him that is atliirst come, Ann whosoever will let liim take the water of life freely." lie said: "We want you to think seriously of coining to the Lord Jesus Christ. Why does he say come? Why do the Spirit and the bride, which is the church, say come? Because man is separated from God. Sin lias caused the separation. Do you notice in this text how careful the Saviour is in extending that invitation? It is done in order to make it so plain that there may be uo doubt about who it is that may come. Jesus says: "Whosoever will let them take the water of life freely." Here in this text we have "come" three times so we may not have any fears about the matter being accepted. The great question that troubles many people to-day s. "How shall I come to Jesus Christ?"

There is but one way and that is as clear as the noonday sun. He said, when lie was cn earth, "lie that Cometh to me him I will in no wise cast out." "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, I will give you rest."

The sad wail. "lost, lost," will be heard, if you fail to come out where you can have peace forever. Hear Christ as lie says, "I am the way Hear the voice that comes singing down from the throne of God, "I am the truth." Every sinner in the town is to blame for his condition. If you are dying of starvation and thirst", if you are blind or deaf to the word of God it is indeed your fault, for "none are so deaf as those that will not hear, and none so blind as those that will not see." Xo case that asked Christ for relief was passed by when He was here on the earth. Some objected to Christ's blessed work, but lie went right on with it. He didn't stop and ask the suffering how they wanted to be cured by what method He should cure them. When they desire to come to Him. if they obej- His commandments, He will gladly receive them without further investigation. If the question had been left to a vote among the disciples, in many cases it is probable tliey would not have been received into fellowship. If tliey had taken a vote in Simon's house in regard to that sinful woman, they would have voted her clear out.

Jesus Christ is anxious to receive wayward and prodigal sons. It didn't matter whether they were wealthy or poor, whether they were well or sick, without any questioning whatever he simply saved them I am here to plead for the Bible. Young man and young woman, if you want to nbe true and faithful cling to the Bible, live by its holy precepts, be careful in regard to its teachings and the church will respect you, God will bless you and Heaven will smile upon you.

The music of the evening deserve special mention. At the beginning of the services Mr. Hadfield sang "The Man of Galilee." After the administration of baptism by Elder Howe, Miss Xell Xicholson sang the beautiful and and pathetic solo. "Some Go Away Unsaved." At the close of the services Prof. Ilawes sang the pathetic and impressive farewell of Knowles Shaw, which always stirs the heart to its depths, "Waiting and Watching at the Beautiful Gate." The work of Evangelists Updike and Hawes has resulted in much good for the city of Crawfordsville and may God continue to bless them in their noble work. The meeting will continue for a few nights. Elder Vanarsdall, of Connersville, Ind., will preach this evening.

A Crawfordavllle Couplti

Terre Haute £.rj.rcin: The trial of Harvey Ferguson, the wife deserter, was held before Justice Felsentlial yesterday afternoon. The wronged wife was placed on the stand and told a straightforward story of cruel desertion. She is a woman of rather preposessing appearance but bears plainly the evidences of the cruel treatment from her husband. She has a clear, honest countenance which made a favorable impression on the court and spectators, who were not backward in expressing tlicir contempt for the man who had deserted her. After the evidence was 'completed the attornevs submitted the case without argument and Ferguson was placed under a bond of S50 for his appearance for trial in the Circuit Court, where the judge has jurisdiction to apply the severest punishment prescribed for wife desertion. In rendering his decision. Justice Felsentlial said: "Young man. I tind by the evidence that you are guilty a charged. The case is an aggravated one. as there is not a single circumstance which tends to justify your action in deserting this girl as you did. The statutes only give me the right to tine you S-.r. Such a low fine would not be sufficient punishment for your heartless cruelty. I will therefor place you under a bond of Sl .'iO for vour appearence for trial in the Circuit Court, where the jurisdiction of the court renders it possible that you get at least something near the punishment you deserve. You will stand committed tntil you have given acceptable seeur-

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Another Suggestion a* to the Proper Observance by Voting Patriot.!

To Editor The Journal. 111 your issue of yesterday I notice a "Fourth of July Suggestion" signed "C," which did not savor much of patriotism. By all means let us have a grand celebration, the larger and louder the better. Let us all assist to the best of our ability, with our influence. our time and our money, to make the celebration worthy of the grand event we commemorate, but let us do it with a spirit of patriotism, and without any thought of personal gain. Let us on this day of all others suspend all business, think only of the grand principles in the minds of our illustrious forefathers, the signers of "The Declaration of Independence," the foundation of the grandest nation on God's green earth, that all lovers of patriotism may enjoy the day as becomes sons and daughters of this glorious republic, and as law abiding citizens. This day has been wisely set apart by our government as a national holiday, to keep alive the rnemorv of the birth of our American liberty, and one of special thanksgiving for the release of an entire nation from the tyranny and misrule of a despotic government, and now in the name of all true liberty lovers let us not for selfish greed of gain debase it by placing two or three hundred true American citizens under just such bans as our forefathers fought and died to release us from: and that is just what would be done by following the advice of "C" and others who advocate such unpatriotic principles. Ourlaws make it compulsory to keep an American flag flying from our school houses to teach our young the love of liberty and let us not set them a bad example by desecrating this sacred (lav by selfish

greed.
