A man was arrested at the fair ground on Thursday by the sheriff of Clintou county, who was accused of stealing. He was taken to Frankfort (in the evening train.

A man named Reynolds, aged 22 years, was run over by a freight train on the Monou south of Wbitesville, ou Thursday night aud killed. He wag intoxicated. He resided nearLadogp.

One poor unfortunate fellow attended the fair. It was Marion Reynolds, of Ladoga. He came up on the morniug tram audit is thought started home on a freight train aud was put off at Wbitesville. The secoud section of the excursion struck him as he lay asleep upon tl.e track a short distance south of the station, killing him iustnntly. His head was bruised, also his shoulder and hip. The reuiaius were taken on the train to Ladoga aud left at the home of a sorrow stricken mother.

You can't always tell who you are talking to and for that reason it is best to say nothing to a stranger, a warning which Ed Hulman, the Terro Haute bicyclist, will perhaps heed after this. All wheelmen know that Hulman tins the swell head alarmingly since he has won a few races and the fellow thinks he is the greatest man that rides a wheel. A REVIEW man met him at the Nutt house, Friday, and asked if lie had won any races, to which he replied that he had taken all he wanted. He added that a paper in this city had roasted their boys, but it did not amount to anything and he thought it was not running auy more. No, Mr. Hulman, that paper is running, a'jd is more prosperous than ever before. We did tliiuk of quitting business when we lost the support of your crowd, but upon second conclusion we thought it best to still exist and see such people as you squirm when the truth is told. Now kick again.

Amusement* This Week

The Leslie Davis Ideal Coiupauy has been at' AMusic Hal! since Wednesday night this week aud the highest recommendation of their success is the fact that the sigu "standing room only" was put out before the curtain rose.

There is but one familiar face to a Crawfordsville audience aud that is the charming actress, Miss Anna Burton. This lady can truly claim the credit of being worthy of all the praise that could be bestowed. She is a lady possessing all the hner traits of social life and compels her popularity with all who know her by her amiable and pleasant recognitions. Of the Company it can only be said Mr. Davis has a good one. Mrs. George Barriell should come in for her share of the praise. Sho is very meritorious of it as her inanuer and character assuming is very commendable while her face betrays every act in life's sacrifice as she leaves her lover, in that strikingly peculiar play, "She." Clever Jack McDowell is a new man here to theatre goers but he catches the gods and that makes anyone popular. The two plays, "She" and "Sen of Ice," are stroug spectacular ones, and will always prove drawing cards. The entire company is good. They are simply a strong attraction, and the REVIEW can only throw the horse shoe of good luck iu wishing they will always meet with just such a fate as they did iu our city. 1 i,,

Tlic Fortieth Heuiiioii.

The reunion of the surviving members of the old 40th Indiana regiment in this city was a grand success. About 180 old veterans from Tippecanoe, Chuton, Fountain, Warren and Montgomery comities were present. A camp fire was held at the K. of P. hail in the afternoon that was largely attended. In the evening a banquet at Scott Steele's hotel was given, toasts proposed and responses made by Col. J. W. Blake, DeWitt Wallace, Col. Learning, F. E. D. McGinley, Barney Shaw and others. The first colonel, .1. W. Blake, and the last colonel, Learning, of the regiment, were present, also Tinney, adjutant of the regiment, and other officers. The success of the reunion and great pleasure attending can be largely attributed to Capt. Steve Stilwell, who worked early and late to accomplish the object and succeeded.

Sallie Farmer lias done special police duty this week, and Tuesday morning Buck Brothers sent him to the post office to arrest a uian. Imagine Farmer's looks when he found that the culprit was charged with licking a stamp and had flown for parts unknown.

Dr. Dingman, late postmaster at Linden, has filed a complaint against the present postmaster of that village,alleging carelessness and incompetency in general. The complaint will be sent to the postal authorities at Washington City for their action. Burford's appointments do not all seeui to be the best.

An alarm uf fire'was sent in from the post office Tuesday morning an account of a leakage in the gas meter ana the throwing of a cigar or match near enough to ignite the escaping gas. It was put out before the department reached the scene. Star Carver was out exercising the horses and made a quick run on Market street

The many familiar faces of the college boys begin to appear on the streets and though they are only with us for a few short years they all seem like home people. Among those who are best known in the city and have arrived for the ensuing year is Frank Shull, Will Porter, Bob Rice, Umpire Branyon, Arb Perry aud many other clever young men who have won many friends in the city. 1

The Lafayette fair was not a glittering success. It never is, and for what reason no one can tell. The races were fair, there was a good display of stock, but It lacked that snap and push that makes a fair full of enterprise. The management even forgot editorial courtesy as far as this city was concerned, but that matters but little as there was nothing worth seeing in comparison with neighboring fairs. Almost every huckster stand had plenty of beer to sell if you only understood the ropes and called for ginger ale. They were too extremely good to allow a wheel of fortune that was run only for glassware and each number drew a prize, while they allowed piety to monopolize their success and with the usual slide went downward. Lafayette may be a larger place but her people must come to Crawfordsville to see a good

IKE FINEST.

Just Think—Tliirfy Thousand People Here.

A Summary of the World's Fair, Held at Crawfordsville.''

There was even so much stock that itnecessl-

There was even so much stock that it necessl tated the building of many new and hurriedly constructed stalls. Everything was there from the large and powerful Norman horse to the smallest bantam chicken, and the very finest the world possessed in their respected classes, while the usual large crowd was inattendnneeBelow we give a summary of each day:

TUESDAY.

The crowd was unusually large for that daybut it being old settlers' aud children's day they composed tho greater portion of it. Bevies of happy children viewed everything in sight, whiio an occasional gray haired man could be seen going over the ground. The races were only fair, being of the novelty order.

WEDNESDAY.

The crowd consisted of the regular fair goers, but it seemed that many more than the usual crowd were ou the grounds, a goodnatured, jolly crowd looking at the sights and missing nothing. The bicycle races were won by Ed, Hulman, of Terre Haute. In the 2:25 trot M'Liss took first, and Champion Medium second. It lacked much excitement. Walker won the haif-inile and repeat run. The crowd remained ou the grounds until late in the evening. Nothing was missed by them.

THURSDAY.

It was just past midnight wheu the wagou wheels began to roll out toward the fairground. They caine in every conceivable kind of a vehicle and from everywhere, and the stream of wagons contiuued uutil noon. The crowd was a good one and there was 110 trouble ou the grounds. It was estimated that thero was thirty thousand people there. They walked around over the usual pathways, Baw the fat cattle and big chickens, took a trip ou the "arouud the world," bought all the Hokey Pokey man's stock, saw all the fakes aud watched the pick pockets, admirable for they failed to get in their work with any success ou our Hoosiers. The crowd was a surging mass over the ground all day. They seemed determined to see everything, aud they had a perfect right to. The Vandalia brought in 1700 peoplo and the other railroads did as well. It was a great day aud the fair association have reason again to be proud of their success in the best county fair in Indiana.

FA IK NOTES.

Where, Oh, Where was the pearline man.

Albert Miller had a beautiful display of buggies. Grandpa Krugg was the oldest man 011 the grounds Tuesday.

The mail carriers delivered mail on tho grounds this week.

The inau with the magnifying glass did the usual large business.

Peters fc Bandell, the pop men, had a pretty display of this industry.

The Hokey Pokey man was ou the ground and did a good business.

Jim Iusiey acted as starter for the races and is au expert at that business. Vi

The cocoons or silk worms at work wero'an attractive feature in Floral Hall.

Tuesday was children's day iu every sense or the word and they took the grounds.

The Leslie Davis baud played at the fair ground aud aided our fine home band.

Several watches and pocket books were stoleu this week. Pick pockets were thick

George White had charge of a Western Union office that was placed ou the fair ground this week.

O. B. Arms had a neat aud attractive show case of shoes on display which were just like the stock he keeps every fair.

Montgomery county pumpkins and corn showed up proudly. It was a creditable showing of the products of our soli.

One of the side shows advertised that they had Woodruff, the Dr. Cronin suspect. He is deserving of a much better fate at Joliet.

Ross Brothers had a beautiful display of fancy glassware in their exhibit iu floral hall. This enterprising firm showed their ability.

All the hotels were crowded Wednesday and Thursday nights. They bad all the rooms filled with cots and there was room for no more.

Ed Towusley was in floral hall and his sewing machines run by electricity were a drawing card. Tlioy were fed by a number ot small batteries.

The management had Mr. Atchlnson as a lookout iu tho Floral Hall this week so that no one could take any of the exhibits. It was a good scheme.

Among the many fakes is one called tho Australian wild girl. She was simply a freak of nature and was not worth looking at still they captured many dimes

The bicycle races were not of much interest, iu fact they seldom are, and we hardly think it advisable for the management to spend one hundred dollars on such races.

The REVIEW does not publish a long list of stereotyped premium awards and believes that our readers will think it a wise plan. It is about as interesting as reading a dictionary.

That old reliable firm, D. Yount & Son, had a fine display of flannels, yarns, jeans and blankets. They are the Quest that are made and ore sold exclusively Dy Campbell Bros., who always have.au advertisement iu the BFVIEW.

There was uo more beautiful display than that of Fowler, Ashley & Co., of tools aud Im­

plements. It was neatly arranged and greatly admired by all. This is one of the best firms and they are deserving ol the recognition bestowed.

A colored man was arrested on the fair ground Monday fur stealing a pair of shoes at the Lafayette fair. When arrested he was bare-footed, but upon an investigation of the stalls the shoes were round, aud the colored gent now lies iu jail.

Several fellows were working the good old racket, that or being hard up and having a good ring to sell Tor a dollar that was worth at least ten. The purchaser would receive a worthless ring that costs 6 cents. Officer Grimes read the riot act to them.

If there was ever a dismal failure of any enterprise the fair management undertook to do it was the lake. The circle's beautiful lawn was ruined by it and it has proven neither useful nor beautiful and has greatly injured tho looks of the prettiest fair ground iu tho State.

Bit was a country lad who was accustomed to helping himself from the sack of peanuts kept in the village store that took one of the cocoons or silklworms and tried to eat it. He put it iu his mouth hut one crush of his molars satisfied tho youngster that there was something alivo iuside the peanut.

There is one censure that tho fair department is deserving of. They well know that the REVIEW is the last to censure any one but the way the Press has been treated by not having even a place to write notos is a shame. We know that we have done everything we could to make this great fair a success and' why should we not be treated with the favor duo us.

There is no fair in the State that can boast or such crowds as we have here on Thursdays. Just to think they begin to comeiu at 4 o'clock in the morning and a constant lino of buggies and wagons with tho side walks blockaded with people until noon. Thousands and thousands visit tho hew! fair in tho state of Indiana. CrawronlHville always acquits herself nobly and has no reason 1 complain. Wo feel thankful to all tho neigh boring towns for tho largo delegations they send to our fair.

Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, aged 78, living Iu tho Valley, died on Thursday. She was hurried in the old town cemetery ou Friday.

The Vandalia was compellod to run three trains Thursday so large was the crowd that they could not accommodate them with less.
