THE ELECTION.
It Is I'asaliiK Off Quietly But the Result Can Belter Be Stated To-Morrow,
The election day dawned clear and cool and so continued until sundown. Early the workers of either party were abroad and some of the precincts were ready for voting at 6 o'clock. Others were slower and not in shape until after seven. The voting began with a rush and the early voter was out in large numbers. For so quiet a campaign the interest manifested to-day by both parties was surprising.
Both parties seemed to be getting out their vote and judging from the length of time most men remained iu the booths there was but little scratching done. At 3 o'clock .the vote was chiefly in although each party had a few out in every precinct, the Democrats seemingly having the worst end of the absent vote. Both parties had many carriages wagons and buggies out trotting in the yoters and it didn't require much persuasion to stir up the average suffragist to do his duty.
The Democrats fought a desperate fight all day and challenged wildly. Many old and reputable citizens were foolishly and causelessly challenged, but no votes were lost. The Republicans did but little challenging and bent their energies to getting out all accessible Republican votes. THE JOURNAL believes that the Republicans will carry the county by a safe majority. However, we can speak more intelligently on that score to-morrow.
An lll-Fatcd Family.
In Company G, Twenty-sixth Indiana, during the war, were three brothers named Wright. They came back to their homes in Fulton county in broken health. Last week Hiram Wright died suddenly of heart failure. While the family were sorrowing over his demise, and within three hours after Hiram's death, George, his brother, also died of l.eat failure, and the next morning, Henry, the remaining brother, expired from the same cause. It was a remarkable coincidence, three brothers dying within fourteen hours, all with the same ailment.-

THE LATEST INDICATIONS.
Republicans Claim Everything In Indlan&po)Is~The Irish Scratch liyuuui.
Special toTlie Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. C.—Advices from Indiana Congressional districts continue to show a full vote. Republicans are claiming nearly everything in this city. The Irish are undoubtedly scratching i-Uynum, whether heavily enough to defeat him is doubted by Democrats. The South Side vote is coming in strong this afternoon. This is the source of Democratic strength. In the North Side Republican wards the vote was nearly all in at noon. ,a
THE LADIES TRY TO VOTE.
Three of Tlipm Get Into the rolling l'lace liut are Stood Oil* by the Kude Men Composting the Hoard.
True to their pledge made at the recent W. C. T. U. State convention several of the ladies of Crawfordsville went to the polls to-day and attempted to vote. They approached the polls in several precincts and were respectfully treated in every instance. The men looked at them curiously of course. Miss Mary Snyder tried to vote at precinct No. 7 and being challenged retired. She was [accompanied by Mrs. Mary Whiteford and then went with Mrs. Whiteford to precinct No. 4. Mrs. Whiteford was also challenged. At number 9 a colored woman named Emma Davis asked to vote but was challenged. The most interesting proceedings were at No. 8.. Here Dr. Martha Griffith, Mrs. Dr. Tucker and Miss Imogene Urown went up the chute about half-past ten and without being challenged passed into the polling place. They were accompanied as far as the chute by Miss Spruhan and Miss Mary Gerard, who lent their moral support. After getting on the inside the ladies had to wait fully twenty minutes while a voter was being sworn in. Then they walked up to the election board, composed of George Fitchy, inspector, and Robert Beck and Will Martin, judges, and asked for ballots and stamps. The board treated them with the utmost consideration and said they would not refuse them, but as a personal favor asked them to return at 2 o'clock. In the meantime they would consult their attorneys, Crane & Anderson. The ladies then retired an1 went to the office of their attorney G. W. Paul. Mr. Paul heard their story and prepared a petition to the court asking a mandamus directing it to allow Dr. Martha Griffith to cast a ballot.
At two o'clock the court convened in the presence of ten ladies and a number of men. Mr. Paul appeared for the ladies but the board was not represented, Crane & Anderson saying they knew nothing about it. The case was argued for over a half hour by Mr. Paul, when the court denied the petition. An exception was filed and thirty days were allowed for the plaintiff to file a bill of exceptions. The ladies discussed the matter together after court adjourned and agreed that they did not expect anything better. They were all satisfied, however, over the showing they had made.
Death of Henry Thompson.
Henrj' N. Thompson, son of James and Susann Thompson, was born July 1, ISliT, died Oct. 27, 1804, age 27 years, 3 months and 27 days.
The article published in last week's Slur stating that the deceased took his own life all for love, is a mistake, not a word of truth in it. The deceased and the young lady mentioned were on the best of terms. He. the deceased. kept company with the young lady on Sunday evening previous to his death, and had an engagement with her for the next Sunday evening. The deceased was hurt on the head three weeks ago which caused momentary insanity, and caused him to do the deed. He was esteemed as a good, kind-hearted boy at home and among his associates. When the news came to us it sent a shock o'er us, our hearts gave a quick throb, the tears sprang to our eyes, as we tried to see through it all. We weep with the loving parents and brothers and sisters, and try to sympathize with them but we cannot. And at this sad hour none can know their sorrow or go down with them to its depths, save Him who knows the secret of every heart. He can penetrate the depths of this sorrow: it is llis presence alone that can stand with the heart-broken family in tins hour and understand and explain and sympathize, and sustain. An immense audience was present at the services, which occurred Monday evening at the residence. The services were conducted by Rev. Grimes of the M. E. church, after which the earthly remains were laid to rest in the Thompson cemetery. •'Dearest loved oue we have laid tliec
In the pcacclul grave's umbrae.!. But thy memory will be cherl6lied Though the body slumbers now. TIs liard to break the tender cord, When love lias bound the heart. TIs hard, so Imrd, to speak the words, Must we lorever part/"
TO THE MH.MOUY OK OUR IIF.AH FHIKXD, HEXKY THOMPSON: We, his associates, desire to exprass our heartfelt sympathy, and also our appreciation for the noble virtues and manly disposition which he possessed, and record with sadness the unfortunate terminus of this young life and would express our deepest sympathy with the friends who are called thus to mourn his sudden departure, and trust that this experience may serve as a stimulus to all of us, to make of life all that is possible under our favorable circumstances.
LAFAYETTE, lnd., Oct. 2S, 1SU4. This expression of sympathy and appreciation is from his associates in the service of the Lafayette Street R'v Co.
The family of James Thompson desire to express their sincere thanks to their friends and neighbors and also to the young men of the Street Railway Company for their kindness. No one who has never passed through sucli a sad hour of aflliction can appreciate the true value of friend:-,.

A RARE OLD MISSAL.
Romantio History of an Anolent Volume Now in California.
It Was Brought Over the Orran bj Columbiis nnd Again by Cortei—A Treasured Rcllc of the Late
Gov. rio Pico.
Under lock and key, in the state librarian's office at .Sacramento, is a volume worth more than twice its weight in gold, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
Six ccnturies have rolled by since the pious l-'rn Anibrosius sat in his monastic studio mid mixed the watery blue, the pale green and startling crimson hues with which he Illuminated this ancient missal, lie devoted one
3rear
to the
labor of copying, with microscopic exactness, the Latin prayers, the oalendar of the saints and hymns of praise on selected parchment leaves. In the introduction he wrote in Latin: "I have entered upon this work with a consciousness of my shortcomings and sinful impulses, which render me unworthy of so honorable a task, but after much fasting and prayer 1 have been guided by an inner voice which bids me to write."
The history of this missal is full of romantic interest. The monastery In which Fra Anibrosius worked was broken up, and the book over which he had spent so many weary days passed into the possession of a sailor named Rodrigo de Triana, who shipped on the Santa Maria when Christopher Columbus started on his voyage of discovery to the new world. Returning with the great admiral on his second voyage, De Triana married a native woman, and endeavored to carry the message of tht cross to the people whom ha had adopted as his kindred, llis success as a missionary is problematical. The missal, however, was kept by his children, and when the Spanish padres began to flock to the heathen' shores that Columbus had given to Castile, a priest bought the volume and made in It a note of the fact and the date. Tho discovery of such a wcrk in the hands of tho natives made a strong Impression on the missionary, and lie investigated its history, making a report to the head of his order in Barcelona, at the same time forwarding the missal.
Tho little volume, with its checkered history, reposed among the archives of the" Barcelona convent until Cortez fitted out his expedition to the land of the Montezumas, taking as hla chaplain the pious Father Olmedo. Before Olmedo set out on the dangerous voyage the bishop of Barcelona gave him his blessing, some good advice and this missal. So armed, the chaplain sailed away to the overturning of the dread deity Quetzalcoatl whom the dwellers of Anahuac worshiped.
The bloody wars of the conquest placed the banner of the cross over the ruins of the teocallis and made Cortez the governor of New Spain. Father Olmedo soon after presented to Cortez the now historic missal, as a foundation for a library by the conqueror, and in his diary made mention of the travels and adventures through which he had passed. Cortez afterwards took up his residence In Cayoacan, one of the suburbs of the present City of Mexico, and carefully preserved the book for a number of years. When this Cayoacan establishment was broken up, the conqueror gave the missal to the Franciscan Brothers, who were then waxing rich and strong in the new world. One of their number brought It to San Francisco in the earl} days of the gold excitement, and it passed into the possession of the late Gov. Plo Pico.
When the state library became an established fact Gov. Pico gave the book to the institution, where it now remains.
The missal is a fine specimen of illumination. It contains one hundred and seventy pages of carefully-painted contents. Tho gold letters are made of gold leaf firmly gummed to the parchment. The frontispiece is a gem of medieval art. It represent* the crucifixion, with Mary and Martha (who are given a slightly Japanese cast of features) standing at the foot of the cross. In the background a river flows, on the other side of which aro seen several edifices that are architectural curiosities.
This interesting volume is valued at two thousand dollars.
RIIKIMATIS.M is primarily caused by acidity of the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, and thus cures the disease.
