M. K. Clodfelter for Clrcuti Judge. Among the candidates for Judge whoso name will be presented to the democratic convention on the 23d, is that of M. E. Clodfelter. Mr. Clodfelter we understand, is making no particular rush or claim for the position, but his friends here and throughout the county are urging him to make the race and he has consented to do so. Clodfalter has been an attorney here for 16 years, and is distinguished for the industry and energy he

infuaeB

into any case in

which he is employed. He has had many important cases witbin the past ten years in court, and is attorney for several yet to be heard. is what some term a bull dog in a legal fight, and temporary repulses only seem to animate him to fight the harder for a client. He has generally been successful, his business being continually on the increase, and few attorneys at this bar' have been more successful. Clodfelter uniformly affable and agreeable with all acquaintances, and has many friends who would delight to honor him with their votes for the high position of judge of the Circuit Court. He is an active democrat and always gives his aid freely in behalf of the ticket nominated.

The Kellers' Troiible«.According to the Grange Corner correspondent of the Rockville Republican' the trouble at Wolf Creek Falls between the KellarB and the Shacks factions is not at an end and serious results may yet come from the effort to convict the Kellars of the murder of the unfortunate girl, Clara Shanks. The Shanks have never reconciled themselves to the verdict of acquittal and the entire neighborhood is divided into two very strong and determined factions. The Shanks faction is determined that the Kellars shall not live in the vicinity and the Kellars and their friends are as equally determined that they will. An impetus has been given the war by the announcement that Dan Kellar says he will resume the prosecution of Dan Shanks for shooting at him on the morning Clara Shanks' body was found in the pool. This announcement has had the effect of scratching an old sore and it is said that if Kellar insists on pushing the prosecution, the Shanks faction will resort to desperate measures to prevent it.

Special Jiirymcn. A venire call'ng for twelve of the following persons to serve as jurymen in the Hauk case, set for nest Monday at court, was issued this week. The following are the names:

Through the kindiy

ofliceB

of 250 re

publicans at the city election on Tuesday, who came to the aid of the democrats, we are pleased to nnnounco the defeat of the entire "Trilby" gang of the present council of the city of Crawfordsville, These republicans as well as all democratic voters, were thoroughly tired of increased taxation from year to year in the city with so few beneticial results to show for it. They determined on a change and wiil now have it. For the first time in the history of the city the council will be equally divided politically. Few democrats expected 6uch results.

In the first ward Myers, of the present city council, r:as unmercifully slaughtered. The regular republican majority is about 170, yet Mark Smith overcame this and came out ahead with 63 majority to bis credit. In Bome parts of the ward every republican along the Btreet scratched Myers and voted for Smith, and the "gallant Myers" went down with

hiB

face to the foe,

In the second ward they took "half and half"—one democrat and one republican elected, while D. L. Lee, democrat, and Dr. Thomas, republican, were defeated. Nolan after being nominated worked industriously to secure his election Lee made little effort, considering it useless, hence the result. Nolan was elected by 14 majority, Lee defeated by 40.

In the third ward John Hutton was elected by a majority of 21, in a ward of 1G0 republican majority. Markley worked very industriously, but his labor was in vain.

The tax-payers of both political parties will expect these men to do their duty, and we trust they will not be disappointed. Let economy, retrenchment and reform begin at once and continue until the affairs of the city are placed in a better shape than at this time exists.

In all the corporations of the county election's were held on Monday. At Ladoga the following is the result of the town election:

The Midland Allan tinA Chicago paper somewhat comical strain thus speaks of Crawford's Midland, known as the Chicago Southeastern,and which runs through the south part of this county: "The road is called the Chicago & Southeastern, although why it should be called that is one of the unsolved mysteries of that region. It doeen't come within 150 miles of Chicago and while it runs southeast, it also runs, southwest, as well as northeast, northwest and nearly all other points of the compass. Its principal direction is from east to west—not exactly as the crow flies, but as blind, three-longed horse would walk. It perambulates in a careless, pleasing way between Anderson and a haystack ten miles east of Brazil. Sometimes Farmer Hi Robins' bald faced Jersey calf gets on the track and disputes the passage of the "ea tinon ball"' express, which runs from Anderson to] Lebanon, a distance of thirtynine miles,' in the remarkable time of two hours and tifteon minutes, attaining at times the terrific speed of almost 10 miles an hour. At other timos.

Harry Crawford, who owns the road, inspects his property on a gasoline hand car, and is given the right of way over all trains, even the "cannon-ball" crawling along in dismal dismay on first switch whilo the president's private gasoline car dashes by, leaving an oily trail behind. The president's private car is probably worth more than all the rest of the rolling stock put togetherWhenever a tip is given out that this car is coming, the people along the way proclaim a holiday and turn out in such numbers that they interfere with Crawford's triumphal tour and the fireman must go on ahead with an armful of cinders—carried for the purpose, as coal is expensive—and drive the small boys off the track."

State did, as told by the Bluffton

Daily News: "A Rock Creek township woman, whose husband has bo.'n an invalid for eight years has, since his incapacity, had entire control of a farm of 240 acres. In that time she paid off one mortgage of SI,300, besides about $900 worth of notes, which her husband had secured for« friends. During the dry weather of last summer she carried water for 40 head of cattle, which she fattened for the fall market, kept three little children, and in spite of all these difficulties, is said to bo making good money.''
