There was an excellent attendance at the kindergarten meeting last evening at the. Methodist, church. The ladies decided to take the enumeration of the children of kindergarten age so that the school board will know what tax to levy for the public school kindergarten, which we hope will open at the earliest possible time, one year from September. The W. C. T. IJ. hopes to have a mission kindergarten during the coming school year, butcan only sujeeed by the people of the city giving liberally toward it. It is important that it is known soon if the money can be raised, so please liurry up and give your subscription to any member of the W. C. T. I.', or at Tin: .loi'liNAi. office.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE DERBY.

a Surging

In- Hut- annual Crawfordsville Derby was run at the fair grounds in the presence of a crowd that reminded one of Ihursday of fair week. There were only two starters and the winner was that princely colt from George Russell stable—Los Vegas, so called because foaled near Alamo in IsTii. The opponent of this redoubtable colt was By Tom, whose, owner. Bob (loben, backed his favorite to the extent of about half his patrimony. The track "'as in prime condition and when the contesting colts came upon the scene there was a wild burst of expectation from the crowd, followed by the agonized pop of a beer bottle cork under the grand stand. The purse was a team of horses, Mr. Goben and Mr. Uussell each contributing a plug lo the pot. The runners were in fine trim and their riders looked sassy if not fat. Wilbur Cooley officiated as starter and gave the animals a good .send oil' by throwing an ear of corn down the track about two hundred feet. Both beasts stared for it on the jump and Los Vegas picking it up in his teeth as he passed fairly Hew down the track closely followed by liy Tom. At the quarter pole the beautiful pair were "bunched" and the rider of liy Tom reached out anil basely attempted to steal the ear of corn which the wind shod Los Vegas was proudly clutching in his teeth, lie failed and Los Vegas inspired liy the fear of piracy forged ahead. On the home stretch Los Vegas got directly in front of By Tom and whenever that gallant colt attempted to pass by kicked him on the nose. It was clear that Los Vegas bad the race and the corn and Mr. Russell going out on the track expressed himself to that, effect. Lost Vegas shot under

Mr. Uoben's stables were not yet exhausted, however, and at the instance of.loly.Ioel his famous "San Francisco." once the. property of Lucky Baldwin, was brought out to kick dust against Jockey Furr's great horse. "Corncob." A pot of S'-Ti was raised to make the race interesting and Bob (!oben rode the California colt as a handicap. San Francisco did his best but found that eastern time is somewhat ahead of that of the golden gate. Corncob won bv an ear.

DR. TUCKER EXPLAINS.

He I*ay« th«» Itlami? Tor ISoing MUimiierKtoixl sit the Door of "The Intelligent Coinponltor.

Dr. Tucker's paper published to day contains the following: Last week we sent copy to the printer 011 the subject of "Our Public Schools." First was a clipping from the Chicago lic.cord to which was added few notes. The Herald being full, the printer produced the notes without the liccitnl. We give it all below: 'MORAL INSTRUCTION IN 1I1K SCHOOLS.

The pendulum seems, not only in this but in other countries, to be swinging back on the question of moral instruction in the public schools. The very general, if not universal, desire to keep sectarianism out of the public schools has had the effect of tabooing any kind of moral instruction, until the criticism that our schools have become as devoid of moral as of religious instruction has been felt to be true by a very large class of not specially religious people. The Woman's Educational society of this city has undertaken to apply a remedy and have a petition signed by (10,000 persons. The petition declares what few will now deny, that 'religion in the sense of doctrines and creeds belongs to the church: but religion in the sense of high character and good citizenship also belongs to a proper system of education The position is so well taken that it disarms all except the most captious criticism.—Chktujo ltccord."

The Hcrttld in commenting on the above, said: "There is gettingto be a feeling that our public schools are failing to accomplish what was expected of them. A school that does not have a high standard of morals and give much attention to developing the moral character, can only be a failure. A school board that does not consider the moral and religious character of a teacher as closely as it does the intellectual qualilieations, does the parents a great wrong. Persons who have but little respect for the teachings of the Bible should not be allowed a place in the public school room."

There arc three powers in the child, each of which needs to be well cultivated. They are the physical, the intellectual ami the moral. If either is neglected a complete man is not produced. If the last, the moral, is neglected, the two former are useless. For instance: A young man comes to seek employment from a merchant or farmer. Physically he is as strong as an ox, and intellectually is well developed and capable, but morally he is a wreck is intemperate, will steal, will falsify, will desecrate the Sabbath and is devoid of honor generally, there is neither a merchant or farmer that will want to employ him. Not because he lacks in education, for he has been through the. public schools and is well educated, but he lacks in character. It is well understood that an educated iascal is the worst kind of a rascal. Polished and intellectual (.1 recce was the most corruptOreece: refined France that excelled in letters after the infidel school of Voltaire, produced the most shocking crimes the world ever wit nessed. Where moral character is lacking intelligence will not save.

Here is the danger in our schools. The Bible has been dethroned, and instead of teaching the children songs of adoration and praise to the Creator, ffiglity ballads are sung. One school board has prohibited Ouyot's geography because it teaches that God was the Creator. It is not much wonder that our public schools are called "godless" and shunned by the Catholics. Floating the stars and stripes on the school house will create neither mora^eharacter nor patriotism. Patriotism can be produced only by creating moral character. The good is not secured from our public schools that ought to be because of too great a lack in developing moral character. This nation is in great danger. The anarchistic spirit is 11011 the increase lawlessness is growing in most communities: tinpublic schools could and should be made an influence to offset these evils that threaten the life of the nation. We do not say that less attention should be given to the moral character. The character of our text books is not as high as it ought to be. Ghost stories and fairy stories fill the readers instead of the Sermon on the Mount, or the 23d Psalm, or selections from Addison and such authors. Our schools need improving. (There is no^reference whatever to our city schools iu the above. Will Tiik Joukxae and Anjus-Ncws please publish the above entire. iik ouknal willingly complies with Dr. Tucker's request to set hiin right. Still, we do not see how the compositor is wholly to blame for the mistake. Dr. Tucker in reading proof should have noticed the omission of the clipping from the Record and should have seeu that the appearance of his comments only would certainly cause him to be misunderstood. Take the comment alone. It certainly reads like a direct slam at our Crawfordsville school board and teachers. It certainly manifests the critical spirit of the paper and is in keepin'- Mi previous articles on other s. It was so understood by ever*oi._ who read it, and it was calculated to cause the severe criticism it called forth. In another part of his paper Dr. Tucker remarks:

It is evident that

he ournal

and

Arywt-Xctrs have some complaiut to made against our public schools. "A guilty conscience needs no accusing." The l-lcrald simply mentioned some lacks in our public school system, and our esteemed neighbors applied it at once to our city schools. Don't be afraid, brethren of the sanctum, if you have anything to say about our schools say it, don't try to hide behind the Herald.

The above, most excellent and worthy Doctor, is most ungenerous and unfair, so far, at least, as

uk ouunal

is concerned. TukJoukxal has nothing but commendation for our schools and nothing we have said can be construed or twisted into such a bearing. It has been the policy of Tiik

ournal

at all times to sustain "the powers that be." Our oldest reader cannot recall an attack Thk Jouknai, ever made on the school authorities or an insinuation against the school government of Crawfordsville. To illustrate Thk Journal's constant stand we reproduce our remarks published last Saturday below the article clipped from thii'Hcrfild. Said

he ournal:

The schools have certainly been prosperous and well conducted and no complaint can be made that has a basis on fact. The corps of teachers has been excellent and Dr. Tucker's complaint is not calculated to eff'ect good. The constant criticism of schools and

teachers has a bad influence always. It creates dissatisfaction, causes meddling. encourages insubordination on thi! part of pupils and brings other ills. Let good enough alone. If there are rights to be defended and wrongs to be amended speak to the point. Be specific and prompt but do not indulge in idle and general criticism when there seems to be ground for commendation only.

Does the above sound. Doctor, as though we were endeavoring lo hide behind the attenuated skirts of the Hi rii We rather think not.

THE OLD TOWN CEMETERY.

Th« Honon of Many Karly Itogiilettt* Itrouglit to Uglit Aftor Yearn of I'eacoful Kent,

Yesterday afternoon a representative of Thk Journal strolled out to the old town cemetery and noticed the work of the resurrection and re-inter-ment of the remains of many of Crawfoidsville's oldest citizens. The north sixty feet of the cemetery from east to west is to be vacated and utilized as a road and the work of re-interment has been in progress now for several days. lOaeh body (only a few bones remain of most) when resurrected is placed in a small unplancd and unpaiuted oak box of about 1 x: feet and re-interred in apart of the cemetery not vacated, unless, perchance, some relare of the dead person remains who manifests enough interest to have the bones carried to some other and more reputable burying ground.

Large numbers of neople visit the scene of the work daily and display the curiosity and inqnisitivencss incident to lovers of such uncanny work. There are. several workmen employed under the contractor, Jere Carver, and J. H. Cook superintends the work and keeps the books. '1 he cemetery has not been used for a burying ground for a number of years and is rankly overgrown with brush and trees. The roots of these have iu many instances penetrated lo the coffins of the dead and gathered nourishment. In a number of cases the bones- were found encased in a net-work of roots. In nearly every instance the coffins have disappeared. leaving only a little wood rot to show that they had ever been employed. The few yellow remaining bones of the deceased are picked carefully up. however, and deposited in the boxes prepared for them. The portion of the cemetery vacated is the most densely populated of the little city of the dead and yesterday afternoon sixty-two bodies had been taken up, with as many more remaining.

Yesterday afternoon the bodies of John Conuers and his little grandson, Dennis Ward, Jr.. were taken from adjacent graves after asleep of tweuty years. Only a few bones remained but. strangely enough, the little boy's skull was perfect and covered with hair in which the parting was still clear. The bones of both were placed in one box and taken away by Dennis Ward, Sr.

The bodies of Micaiah Tieeder, L7T!i-lsIn, and his daughter, Mrs. Win. John, rest under a large monument and have not yet been molested. Mr. Keeder died here while on a visit to the Bill-bridge family and was buried far from his home. His epitaph reads: "Touch the Love llai for Hlra

Tims l'ar Ironi Homo,-

S cot IIuiiie where f.-.ivo sl.il! fondly ollnirs.* A peculiar case came to light in the grave of an unknown girl a few feet west of the Keeder monument. The skeleton was found face downward and twisted horribly as though the buried one had come to life again after interment and died struggling miserably. The bones of the feet were encased in high heeled shoes still in a good state of preservation.

The skeleton of Mary Corder was found with a great wealth of flowing hair, probably grown after burial.

The skeleton of lsabelle May was in an excellent state of preservation. The body of Nancy Smith, which had been buried for thirty-four years, was found in excellent condition, the clothing still being preserved and even the hair pins in the queerly dressed hair.

The bodies of Mrs. Margeret Misner and two daughters were removed from adjacent graves.

The bodies of John O'Connor and his children, Mickey and Maggie, were removed to the Catholic cemetery.

Yesterday afternoon the white coffin of an unknown child was dug up. The coffin was in splendid condition and was re-intered in another part of the cemetery without being opened.

The body of the burglar Mont Fisher shot in his store at Whitesville six years ago was the worst ease handled. The coffin and body broke in several pieces while being removed and were hard to handle.

The bodies of John, Tessie and Lizzie Costello were removed to the Catholic cemetery.

A skeleton wqs taken out upon the marble footstonc of whose grave were the letters G. G. S. There was a large headstone, too, but it was of soft sandstone and time and weather had effaced the inscription entirely.

The skeleton of Arehibal dMartin was removed after being buried thirty-nine years and was in good eonditon. Mr. Martin was SS years old at the time of his death.

The bodies of W. II. II. Martin, I. C. Martin and James F. Martin were also taken from adjacent graves.

The body of Charley Branch, who died when two years old, was taken up after an interment of 24 years. Only the skull remained of the bones, but the shoes with buckles and Oxford ties were still excellently preserved.

The body of an unknown man was removed from the grave next to that of W. 11. II. Martin. His clothes were still in fine condition and easily showed their cut and color.

The body of Rosa Wilson, colored, with the body of her infant child in her arms was removed, ller hair was still preserved entirely.

The workers have found no jewelry or valuables as they worked although occasionally buttons, hairpins, etc., were, picked up.
