THE MOOSE

Banquet ThPir i'riends and Brethren

—About 300 Peasons PresentGood Toasts and a Jolly Time-

The Moose on Thursday gave their banquet to their friends and brethren, ami it wile the finest over given in the city. The hall was beautifully decorated with palms, lillies, and emilax, and their colors red and white, which presented a charming appearance. The members of the order wore the colors and a carnation. The tables were also nicely decorated and the menu consisted of roast turkey, New York counts, salid, cake, ice cream, etc. Three hundred persons wore dined, Everybody was entertained in grand style, and if he did not have a good timo it was no fault of the Moose.

There were several toasts responded to by Judge Harney, W. M. Reeves, Mont Kennedy, Mayor Bandel, Ike Davie, and others. The Moose, although the youngest order in the state, iB among the best, and in a short time, No will have as large a membership as any of them. Many persons have al ready filed their applications for membership to be taken in soon. The guests left at a late hour, wishing them much success and hoping to be with them at their next.

The Keller Murder Trial. A special venire of fifty talesmen, or. dered for the Keller murder trial, was drawn at Terre Haute on Tuesday. It is thought that a jury can be secured from this number, and attorneys for both sides believe that everything can be got in readiness for the opening statements by next Tuesday morning. The three defendents express themselves as very anxious to have the trial proceed, and are confident ot an acquittal. Mrs. Keller han'been, for some time in failing health, and during the early part of this week, was quite ill. Her condition now is somewhat improved and she hopes to be able to attend the trial.

His Imagination. The brilliant correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in his account thiB week of the robbery of Dr. Brown, on the Yountsville road, had an excellent opportunity to use his imagination in relating the account, and did so. His account says the doctor was pursued a long distance, and when the thieves caught up with him robbed him of $118, a diamond pin, and he was also shot through the hat. The truth seems he was simply Etopped, robbed of $18, and then told to drive on. The correspondent of the Enquirer here is said to have been at one time connected with one of the daily Crawfordsville paper?, which may to some extent account tor the wonderful flights of his.imagination.

lletiirn Date. No American author now before the country has directed his sole attention toward American subjects as much as Augustus Thomas, the author of "Alabama." Mr. Thomas has in a space of five yearB given the theatregoers of the country food for thought in the production of his plays. He has not drawn upon th& other nationalities for his comedieB, but has taken them from home life. Mr. Thomas' successes have proven that the American public want plays dealing with American subjects, American characters, and American comedy. "Alabama" will be at Music Hail on Friday night, Jan. 31st.

Three Yeurs. Some four months ago, a tramp, Charles Graves, sought to rob the ticket office of the railways at Linden, but was intercepted in his efforts through the agent, who shot him. Graves was found next morning in a barn, near the town, bloody, dirty and in a distressed condition generally. He was brought to jail, and this week his trial came off before Judge Harney. He was sentenced to the northern prison for three years with a $10 fine. He will be taken north next week. Since imprisonment ho has much improved in appearance.

Star Montague, son of the late Dr. Montague, was arrested in lndianapolio a few days ago for larcensy. He is reported to be a victim of the opium habit, and his mind somewhat unbalanced.

The township trustees met on Monday to draw the mosey necessary to continue the schools the remainder of the season. On account of shortage of funds, it is thought the terms of nost of the township schoole will close in about six weeks.

GETTING THE HOT END OF IT

Covert Tells Much About Dr. Harry Adams. A special to the Sentinel from Anderson relating to the Covert-Adams spiritual discussion says: W. R. Covert the anti-spiritualist charged by Dr, Harry Milton Adams with fraud, today published all of Milton's letters in connection with the debate to be hold in this city.

In a lettar written by Milton on his letter-heads and dated

his home Craw

fordsville. Dec. :6. Milton himself makes the proposition that, after following the medium wor* for eighteen years, he is now reat'y to expose it. lie says it is a fako pure and simple and proposed the debato that was arranged for this city. In the other letters, all published, he tells how he is working the spiritualists for credentials and what great fish they are. lie jeers at them and dotes on how he will let them down. His plan promulgated in the letter published, to come to this city and give free seances for a week, and in thus doing to convince Andersen spiritualists that he is a good medium, and then to expose them and hold them up to ridicule, was, it beeme, adopted.

The matter is an odoriferous one from beginning to end and the letters paint Adams black as night. Besides this Covert publishes Adam's history in full how he stru'ek Crawfordsville as a ropewalker in a circus, got on his upper and gave a great seance that was so rotten that ho was almost drummed out of town, how he then went to practicing medicine without a license and later to quacking in the curing of fits. The articles published by Covert are very complete and the letters bear them out.

Further than this, ho says ho will sue him for criminal libel. He will go to Crawfordsville Friday night or Saturday morning to do it. He says there is nothing in his letters that will hurtlhim and he wants Milton Adams to publish them.

Harry C. Howard In Acquitted, lint HeArrested. Tho case of Harry C. Howard, charged with stealing an overcoat from the Robbins House, came up on Monday. It was thought he would be convicted, but the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, after being out only about an hour. The sheriff immediately arrested him on a bench warrant for stealing a gold watch. The watch cane is said to be a very poor ono and ho will probably be liberated on this charge.

Central Committee OMniata.

The democratic county committeemen met at the court house on Saturday and selected the following officials to act during the ensuing two years:

Chairman—Taylor Thompson. Secretary—Robert B»ck. Treasurer—James WrightThe selections will all meet with party favor, and the business interests of the campaign could not well bo placed in better bands.

The Oilliooly'H Abroad. The Holyoke Democrat says of the Gonnans, who appear here Jan. 28:

The Gorman Brothers were always great favorites in Holyoke, but they brought themselves nearer to the lovers of light comedy in Holyoke last evening than ever comedians did before. Their new musical comedy, "The Gilhoolys Abroad" affords about as much solid fun as any play on the road this season. The plot of the piece is simple from tho beginning, but it is full of such ridi.-u-lous coincidences and such funny circumstances that one is kept guessing right alo.g what is the next funny thing that is going to happen to Mr. C.ilhooly, tho prominent man in the story. Then the Gorman brothers break in at regular intervals with their funny specialties and it really would seem as if there as no chance for Gilhooly to show hin ed whiskers on the stage again they are encored so often. It is indeed no exaggeration to say that they Gorman boys can do more funny things than any team on the road to-day. Although the Gorman boys area whole show in themselves they are by no means the only talent in tho company,

Tho admirers of the Gorman brothers in this city expected big things from them, of course, but their biggest anticipations were exceeded when they found how how much fun they succeeded in putting into "The Gilhoolys Abroad."

Indiana Itules 111 (lie Production of Figures complied in Anderson to be presented at the national meeting of manufacturers in Chicago make a very interesting showing for Indiana in the glass market of the United States. The figures Bhow Indiana to have a big margin as tho greatest glass producing State in the Union, or in the world. The 31 window glass plants turn out more glass than any other state. Eleven of the Indiana plants were sufficiently strong to get a corner on the market of the nation, and controlled on July 8,350,000 of the 380,COO boxes of glass in the nation. Out of this combination of 11 grow the great trust, which has, thus far, advanced the price of glass over 35 per cent. In plate glass the greatest and largest plants in the world are located at El wood, Kokomo and Alexandria, while there are many smaller plants that place Indiana far above her neighbors in this branch.

The Slot Machine in Iudianapolis. The slot machine in Indianapolis iB a thing of the past and from this on there will be more pennies in circulation. There was a meeting of the owners of machines in the office of Attorney Beveridge yesterday afternoon and the matter waB talked over between them. Mr. Beveridge read the law to them and told them that the machine certainly was a gambling device and therefore they could not beat the cases and the only thing for thom to do would be to take the machines out at once. -There was some grumbling, of course, but all decided to abide by the decision of the attorney and from this on there will be no more Blot machines.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

There area number of these slot machinas here in Crawfordsville, and the "Good Order League" if such an organization exists, should see that they are suppressed and thrown out. They furnish the incentive to gambling, and many a boy or young man is taught his first lesson by thom. The grand jury should take tho subject in hand.

And Adams Was Not There. An Anderson telegram of tho 21st, in reference to the alleged spiritual expose that was to come off, says:

Dr. II. M. Adams was not here tonight, as he is said to have agreed when Elder W. It. Covert met him in Crawfordsville yesterday. Thus tho debato on spiritualism between the Doctor and Elder is off, and Covert declares tho next hearing will be before a judge in court.

In the meantime Adams is getting much free advertising over it and tho "epileptic cure" businesk should soon commence to boom.

Danville's Big Mortgages. Harlan Hadloy, of Plainfield, has made mortgages to the trustees for the bonefit of certain creditors of Porry R. Tulley, a farmer and general trader, for whom he is security in a largo Bum. The mortgag&s amount to near 838,000. Tulley is at present couDty treasurer, and the affairs of that office are in such condition that they are in nowise affected by the assignment.

The Prohibitionists of Montgomery county will hold a convention at the small court room on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 10 30 a. m., for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state convention to be held at Indianapolis, Feb. 2G and 27.

GAINS A BEAUTY FOR BRIDE,

But Loses the Love of His Children.

ihe New \ork World of Tuesdav has the following spec.al from Indianapolis 'Ihe marriage- of Benjamin Ji .prison to Mrs. Dimmicu is not approv,0f by Mr. Harrison's family. The siatcment that Mrs. McKee will visit Indianapolis before tho widdiog is true, but she will not come to prepare a home for her athers bride.

the late Mrs

And separate him definitely from his children. Neither xMrs. Mclvoo nor Rus roll Harrison is on speaking terms with th. lr stepmother-to-be, and both have interposed an earnest, though dignified, opposition to the proposed marriaSe. "This opposition arises, they insist, not from any dislike of their father marrying a second time, but solely from a feeling that circumstances connected with the history of the acquaintance which leads to the approaching marriage make the event an act of disrespect to the memory of their mother.
