Sunday is a great day for saloon keepers at CrawfordBville.—Indianapolis Sun. It is presumed that by "a great day" the Sun means that business with the saloons in this city on Sunday is good, customers plenty and all enjoying themselves to their heart's content.

saloonB

were clused, back and front doors, on Sunday, yet the public may be very much fooled in this.

Corey Escapes.

Sheriff Edwards, of Boone county, was in the city last night looking for Ed Corey, Dick Eeating's opponent in the Shannondale glove contest. He did not find him and left for Crawfordsville at midnight. Corey was sentenced to serve three months in the county jail at Lebanon for prize fighting. He had served about half the time.

Bennett asked the sheriff to allow Ed to eat diuner at bis hotel, Corey had been given many privileges, and as Bennett promised to watch him carefully, be was allowed to eat at the hotel. After dinner the party went to the parlor to chat. Bennett stepped out of the reom for a minute. So did Corey, but he went the other way and has not been seen since. It was some time before

The father of Marshal Ensminger is now over 90 years of age, but in good health, and may live for several years yet. The estimate iB that not one person in 80,000 lives to reach the 80th year, yet here are four that have gone beyond that period and there are, no doubt, others in the county.

Head What Is Said of the National Cyclopedia By Those Who Kead and Use It. "I have examined Periam's National Cyclopedia and find it contains a vast amount of useful, accurate and carefully arranged information, peculiarly instructive to the farmer, stock-raiser, and fruit-grower. The defiuitions are clear, concise, and ample. I continually refer to it for information upon the various subjects upou which it treats. I ain satisfied it would pay every farmer owning eighty acres of land and upwards to have such a work iu the house." ^Very truly yours, 'xvf IU? R.J. OOLBSBV,

Ex-Governor State of Illinois.

"I am the fortunate owner of the National Cyclopedia and in referring to any topic have never been disappointed in finding the desired information clearly and plainly stated. It is up to the times on every topic mentioned, which makes it of special value to the intelligent farmer and stockman."

L. H. BON HAM,

Sec. Ohio State Board of Agriculture. "Periam's Cyclopedia for farm, school and home is a perfect mine of the IateBt and best information for the farmer, stock-raiser, fruit grower and others. It will save each year many

Natural Gas.

The city council met Tuesday night In special session to consider the natural gas ordinance which has been pending for a couple of weeks. Representing the people's natural gas company were Lawyer A. W. Hatch and Editor J. W. Craig, of Indianapolis, and A. F. Ramsey The session began at 7:30 o'clock and lasted until one o'clock iu the morning at which hour the ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote. The company will go to work at once laying mains, and it is confidently expected that consumers will be using it by Oct. 1, of the present year. The rates are very fair, being a little lighter than at Lafayette, but about the same as Peru, Ft. Wayne and other cities nearer the gas fields. The following rates will show that It is cheaper than either wood or coal: FOB COOKING—MONTHLY CHABGE8 FROM OCT-

has lately found it convenient to leave there. Here is some account of him and a student's wife in that city: "Mr. Alonzo Peerman is a student in the Theological department of De Pauw University. He came there from Posey county, Ind., and those who knew him there say a more exemplary aud promising young inati was no where to be found within its limits. He was married and the father of a bright little boy, who had just entered the city schools. The wife and mother, Mrs, Peerman, is au unusually sprightly aud attractive little woman. Until the developeinents of Monday it was supposed by her friends and neighbors that her home was a veritable Eden which the tempter would dare not enter. He caine, however, and the frai! woman fell. Not only did her Bin find her out, but she made a full confession to her husband, implicating a well known sporting man of Greencastle in her transgression.

It is known that Mort Leo, whose residence adjoined the Peermau dwelling, left the city Mouday for parts unknown. His wife also de* parted on the train for Ladoga, her former home. The affair is the sensation of the hour. Mr. Peerman is completely broken down by the revelation and confession of his wife's shame. His friends endeavored to prevail upon him to remain in the school, but he decided to return today to his home in southern Indiana. His wife remains in Greencastle.

The Pettit Habeas Corpus/

Tuesday Judge Langdon overruled the motion of the prosecution to quash the writ of habeas corpus proceedings in the Pettit case. David Meharry, father of Mrs. Whitehead, testified Tuesday. "Pettit did not state that Mrs. Whitehead was getting less than the others when he wrote his will for him. Mr. Pettit did not suggest Mrs. Whitehead as executrix of the will nor asked to marry Mrs. Whitehead never asked to become a member of his family does not remember telling his son Ethan that Mr. Pettit had asked to become a member of his family he had made three wills he changed his will on or about lhe 27th of August for reason that there was so much talk about Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead in the country

reason for changing the will was because he had observed the connection between Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead, but not because he was afraid they would get married he did not tell Odell that ho was afraid there would be discord if Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead married that is the reason he changed the will. He did not remember telling Ethan Meharry that Pettit had asked to marry Mrs. W., and that he objected, just after last camp-meeting. Pettit did not ask to come into the family, but that he wanted to rent some land of him. This was after the camp-meeting he did not know just how long after but it was while Pettit was preaching at Shawnee, Petttit did not ask to rent ground and live at his (Meharry's) house.
