Seed For Thought.
Has it entered your mind that
the cool mornings and evenings
we are now having .tre but a
forerunner of winter with its
snow and ice. Has it made you
study the needs of your ward
robe, and prepare to meet these
chilly blasts.
Haven't you noticed the many
large boxes we have been receiv
ing during the past two weeks.
They were loaded full of choice
heavy goods to meet the demands
of the trading public. Overcoats
of every size and quality. Suits
cut in every style known to the
trade.
Underwear from the cheapest
grade to the finest fabric.
All these goods are first class
and will bear the test of a careful
inspection. They were bought
with the intention of selling them
to you at just as low a price as
we can and leave a reasonable
margin for ourselves. We count,
we even insist on you examining
this line, for we most certainly
think it will be to your advantage.

PREPARING THE BALLOT.
The. State Klcrtlou Hoard 1'reparcK for the Coming ContoM.
The' State Election Board compels the county ollieers to report the number of voters in eachoeounty, together with any increase iu the number of precincts. The following figures have been compiled, showing the number of voters and the number of townships, precincts and ballots required:

Nearly
366.000
more ballots will be
printed than are given in the table above. A reserve supply of two thousand ballots is sent to each county iu the State, making 181,000. This is done to provide against possible loss by lire or otherwise. A second reserve of
100.000
will be stored in the
State house. If the reserve of two thousand ballots '^in any county is exhausted the
100,000
in the vaults at
the State House will be available. The law provides that no tickets shall be printed sooner than twenty days before the election. Just at midnight, Monday. October 15, the signal will be given, and six presses will begin printing the ballots. The printing of the ballots will occupy six days and nights.
Every precaution is taken by the State to prevent anyone from securing copies of the tickets while they are being printed. In the printing otliee the most trustworthy men will be placed upon the work. The State will station a watchman in every department of the printing olliee through which the work must pass. One man will keep guard in the press-room, a second will watch the tickets while they are being blocked in the bindery, and a third will ride ill the wagon which carries them to the State House.
If any one is caught giving away ballots, the law provides that lie shall be imprisoned not less than three nor more than ten years, and that he shall lie disfranchised for a period of uqtless than ten vcars. V'K-'.

Most business men are careless in their statements. They have become used to writing "biggest," "grand est." "greatest," "best, that tliev can only think in superlatives
They seem to be honest—proba lily ire They are merely careless, and failure is the price of carelessness in advertising. Maybe not absolute failure, but something very short of success. livery advertisement should have careful consideration. All the discrepancies should be eliminated—110 careless statements allowed. 1 you can't take time to attend to your advertising carefully, better get some one to do it for yon. Cut off the parasit ies. Cut off novelties—programs. Cut oil' the paper to whom you "give a hundred just to get rid of it—to keep it quiet." Cut oil' the paper that is too cheap to be good.
A good advertisement in the best paper will do more good—more in pro portion to price—than anything else you can do.

DR. MONTAGUE DEAD.
A Prominent Former C'itl/i'ii ut IIIh iloinu In Dps Moines,
Dr. Cunningham is in receipt of a telegram from Des Moines. Iowa, announcing the death there yesterday of Dr. l'\ T. Montague, formerly of this city. The remains will be brought here for interment, and will arrive to-mor-row afternoon.
Dr. Fred. T. Montague was born in Erie county, Ohio, June IS. 1S10. He lived there till eleven years old, then, withohis parents, made an overland trip to California, staying there {three years, then returned by water to and settled in Detroit, Michigan, where he lived until he came to Crawfordsville. He had a common school education, and attended Oberlin College two years, 1S5G and 1857. He then clerked in a drug store. In ISIS.' the doctor enlisted in the 1th Mich. Cav. as hospital steward, and served iu this capacity three years. The experience gained in this service has been of much value to him in his profession. He was in the battles of l'erryville and Stone River: at this battle lie was captured and immediately paroled. The doctor was a graduate of the American Eclectic College, and attended the surgical school at Indianapolis, lie began the practice of medicine in 1S(5S, in Detroit. Michigan, and settled in Crawfordsville in 1870, in limited circumstances. His practice here increased until he had more than he could do. The doctor was first married to Marian Humphries, in 1851. She died in 1S73. Tliej' had three children by this marriage. ile was married the second time, to -Mrs. Ella Doharty, of this city. This second wife likewise died and a few years ago he married Mi Cox, of Indianapolis, who with one daughter, little Kern, survives him. I11 1885 Dr. Montague removed to Des Moines, Iowa, and opened a sanitarium which met with great success and he became at oncc 'prominent in medical circles of the State. He was taken with consumption, however., some months ago and the decline was steady until death came.
THE SEW SCHOOL BOOKS.
May Be Ohlalncil itt tlie Itook Stores Will' Two Kx*e|tiolin.
The pupils of the public schools of Indiana will this year, for the lirst time since the enactment of the new school book law in ISS'.i, be able to get their text books, or the most of them, through dealers in books. The Indiana School book Company announces that its books are now on the shelves of thousands of book stores throughout the State. It will not be possible for pupils to obtain the grammar and history furnished by (Jinn Co., except through the township trustees. These contractors have refused to allow dealers to handle their books, and under the law, as amended by the last Legislature. they must give consent before the books can be put in the hands of booksellers for distribution.
The amended law provides that after the contractor for books has filed with the superintendent of public instruc tion a written agreement that the books furnished may be sold by book sellers, the township trustees and school boards throughout the Slate shall sell to dealers in books text books furnished by this contractor at a price ten per cent: less than the contract price at which books are to be furnished to pupils. Ibis ten percent, profit which the dealers in books receive shall be paid, one-half by the contractor and one-half by the school corpora tion. (linn & Co. maintain that they can not afford to lose live per cent, re duction from the contract price. The
Indiana School Hook Company tiled its acceptance of the law, and the nine teen text books it is printing for the schools will be sold in the book stores of the State. The amended law pro vides that any merchant or dealer who knowingly or wilfully charges or at tempts lo charge for any book a sum in excess of the price fixed by law shall be deemed guilty of a misdemean or. and. upon conviction, shall be imprisoned in the county jail not moi than six mouths and fined not mon than §500.
A Huiik «Jury.
For three days this week the atten tention of the circuit court has been taken up with the suit of Clouser against Corns. The point at issue was the legality of Clouser's right of way through Corns' farm from a forty acre field off the highway. The issue did not involve a great amount of money and no honor. It first came into the courts in 'ill and was settled in favor of Clouser. It went to the Supreme cohrt but was sent back for a new trial. This trial was held this week and resulted in a hung jury. On the first ballot the vote was 7 to 5 for lhe plaintiff and at one time during the night was 11 to 1, but the voting closed at 0 la 3 for the plaintiff'. So the cause, with its cloud of witnesses and its great expense will have to be tried again, unless the parlies sensibly get togethei-and settle it by arbitrament. To an outsider such law suits seem the heightli of foolishness.
They consume the property in question and more too, besides engendering anamosities which endure for generations.

A NEW GAME NEEDED.
Whj Whifit Ilnft OftNcd to Be Rocrnatlon for Mofit of I N. The people who used to play whist, the old-fashioned whist, enioyed the game and cherish pleasant recollections of the evenings wlilled away by this pastime, says the Indianapolis Journal. These people do not play whist any more. If by chance three of them are gathered together the needed fourth is sure to be a disciple of the new system: he plays "scientific whist and scorns their haphazard methods. lie may be too well-bred to speak his contempt, but ho makes it felt it envelops him as a cloud it is visible in his air of patient endurance and the sail droop of his eyelids. The old-fashioned player feels his inferiority and loses interest In the game, but at the same time cherishes a secret belief that the devotees of the new and "improved" system do not get the entertainment out of It that ho once did out of what was then considered highly-dignified and respectable game but which is now condemned as "bum blepuppy."
The players now proceed as if performing a solemn rite they have no appearance of enjoying themselves, but are serious of countenance and subdued in manner. A blunder, a •eparture from the fixed law of the game, subjects the unfortunate perpetrator te looks of disdain, if not to outspoken contumely, which is crushing to all but the most, hardened. It is "scientific' and "intellectual," no doubt, as Its followers declare, but why continue to call it a game or a pleasing pastime?
Do the people who take pleasure in any pursuit or recreation ever hold a "congress" over it? They had a whist cort gress in Philadelphia recently, and the players sat about the tables in a si lence so solemn and oppressive that the scratching of a match was a startling noise. Not a man would have dared to speak aloud. There may be a deep and exquisite joy In this sort of thing but it is hidden from the majority of people, who prefer to take their pleasure less seriously. The new whist is too profound for them, but the old game Is probably forever done away with. What is needed is a substitute —something which will while away an hour for weary people who do not feel equal to intellectual exertion and do not find recreation in feats of memory.
