Working the Company.
One of the foremen in the employ of the Citizens' Natural Gas Company is in trouble. While his method of robbing was somewhat "ihestnutty" yet it worked to perfection, and he was only betrayed by his own recklessness. It is the duty of the foreman to keep the time of the men and report the same to the company for payment. This one has been in the habit of making out time for men who never even entered the ditch and then draw the money himself. Although he has continued this crooked business for three months past, he excited no suspicion until this week, when word reached the company that the man in question was in the habit of losing from $20 to $50 per night at a certain gambling table here in the city. Knowing him to be S poor man and his weekly salary hardly equal to the first named sum the company grew suspicious and began an investigation which disclosed the fact that the fellow had been stealing from them regularly but just what amount they have not yet learned. When confronted with an accusation the guilty fellow made a straight confession, although he too was unable to tell the exact amount of his stealings. The poor fellow has not yet been arrested and just what the company intends doing in the matter weare unable to learn.
Peter Fiihev Becomes Violent. Last Thursday afternoon while Fred Schweitzer was standing at the bar in Gus Myers' saloon he was approached by Peter Fisher, who, without a word drew a knife and made a vicious slush at Mr. Schweitzer's ear, cutting that member almost entirely off, and then announced
hiB
intention of taking his own
ife. The police were suummoned and Mr. Fischer waB taken to jail. Here he remained until Thursrday evening when he had so far recovered as to be able to be'taken to his home. The unfortunate gentleman's condition is to be deplored as ho is one of Crawfordsville'B oldest and best citizens. For some months past his mind has not been just right but he will now be given proper treatment in the hope of a complete restora tion.
Becoming a Fad.
Albert Hunter and Lucinda Elmore, of Crawfordsville, made application Monday afternoon late for a marriage license to marry. The groom looked rather young, and after several questions had been asked him by Deputy Abernathy, and answered in an unsatis factory manner a license was refused. The couple returned toCrawfordsville we understand, with thelatontionof, getting further proofs of the age of the would-be groom and returning, procure a license and get married. But they have not returned yet.—Danville, (111.) Commercial.
Miss Elmore is remembered as the young lady who figured in the incest case against her step-father, Wm, Hunter, in the courts here recently.
Lucky Mrs. Weller.
Mrs. Mima Waller was the lucky guesser on the number of seeds contained in the pumpkin and water melon iu the show window at Carlson's ten cent store and carried away the beautiful $20 plush case. The counting of the seeds took place Wednesday night and was conducted by three disinterested gentlemen. The pumpkin contained 686 seeds and the melon 555, making a total of 1241, and Mrs. Weller's guess was 1242.. There were sovoral thousand guesses, the lowest of which was 9 and the highest 1,300,000.

Last Wednesday Governor Ira J. Chase granted a pardon to William Shular who wassent up from this city in 1885 to serve a Hjntenco of seventeen yoarsfor tho murder of Win. G. Layne. The murder occurred during a drunken brawl in a Market streer. saloon and thoro has always beon a doubt as to Shular's guilt. Ever sinco his incarceration his father has been untiring in his efforts to secure a pardon and is now justly happy over his success.
The experienced huntsman in the woods never wastes
time looking for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer Creek, nor would he hope to shoot any great number of ducks
on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such
points are always misnamed, and this lesson holds good with
almost everything in life. For instance, in the case of the
brands on articles of food, spices and other ground food
products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly
pure" or "absolutely pure," are without exception the most
villainously,adulterated. 'Tis the wolf in sheep's clothing
The most brazen case is that of the Royal Baking
Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people
as "absolutely pure" when it contains amitionia. You can
smell it in the can and often in the biscuit while hot.
What woman would use an ammonia or alum oaking
powder if she knew .- They not only destroy the stomacn,
but ammonia will destroy the complexion.
Not so with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the only pure d^am tartar powder to be obtained, and the only baking powder made by a physician. Dr. Price has devoted a 'lifetime'-to' perfecting this old-fashioned, indispensable article of the culinary art that has
tests and remained the standard for forty years.
