In a Tent. The twenty-second commencement exercises of Purdue University occurred at Lafayette on Wednesday. The services were held in a large tent seating about 1,500 persons. Invocation was offered by Rev. S. A. Mowers.

ExPresident Harrison made a Bhort address and the exercisos closed.

•Sorrow nt .Suite University, The gala preparations for commencemen week at Bloomington were sadly marred Thursday by the death of Jack Sheridan, one of the most popular stu dents in the State university. While umpiring a game of ball Wednesday between the Betas and all Frat teams, was accidentally hit on the head by a wild ball, producing concussion of the brain. He died Thursday afternoon without having gained consciousness.

His home was at Lebanon, Ind. He attended college at bloomington three yearB. He was a member of K. of P. lodge and was proficient in his studies and in all athletic sports. His remains were taken to his home Thursday, accompanied by many of his university friends. All the serial functions.of this week have been postponed and the commencement will be a sorrowful one.

Hetircil. John II. Burford, our former fellow townsman, who for Beveral years past has been an associate judge of the territorial court of Oklahoma, has retired, his term having expired. He will probably remain in that country and engage in the practice of law.

The Ben Hur order is fully settled in its new quarters on east Main street. The Vandalia soon commences running the fast trains for the summer season.

Darrel Blair will soon go on the road as a salesman for a wholesale grocery store.

Dr. Burroughs will deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the senior claBB of the college to-morro.7 forenoon at Center church.

Harley C. Tutt. former senior devil of THE REVIEW, and Miss Lola Wesson were united in marriage on Thursday evening.

The horse, Que Allen, haB been sold to parties at Johnstown. Penn., and will be taken there. The price paid is supposed to tie 8"),000.

Gen. Wallace and quite a number of republicans from this county are already in St. Louis to attend the republican national convention.

The venerable countenance of Drake Brookshire was seen on the street Wednesday. He is in good health, and may have no use for that oak coffin for severl years yet.

W. F. Butcher, Darlington, was killed near Clausers mill in that place on Thursday morning, by a team running away and throwing him against a fence close by the mill. His skull was crushed and death waB instantaneous. He was G4 years old, and had lived in this county since 1849.

Forewarned is fore-armed. There is

to be a vast number of pick-pockets, thi?ves and confidence men following in the wane of the Buffalo Bill show. Put your valuables in secure places, and your hands on your pocket books, while you are out gazing the elephant, the buffalo, or the untutored savage, the day the nhow exhibits here.

Seventy persons in a petition asked the city council to reinstate McCoy on the police force. These seventy gents certainly do not know the sentiments of a majority of the tax payers. The force is too large now and should be further reduced from the fact that there is no need of BO many. If the democrats can succeed at the next election in securing another councilman the force will be reduced,

Tho State Sunday school convention held at Crawfordsville this week was a grand success. The hundreds of visitors were made to feel at home and their comfort was provided for. No city in the State knows better how to treat its guests than does our own county Beat. No homes are more hospitable than those found there and nowhere does the worthy stranger find a more cordial greeting. Crawfordsville all right.—Ladoga Leader.

I)ebbn Writes Some Wholesome Truths.

In a communication appearing in a Terre Haute paper, Tuosday, Eugene V. Debbe congratulates the T. P. A. upon their stand for a 2-cent railroad fare, addB some caustic remarks. Among other things he says: "Had the recent T. P. A. convention here been a convention of politicians, they would have had passes, special cars and whole trains. The interstate commerce law has been so mutilated by the courts that there is only the shadow of it left, and the relief the people get from it. is the kind the victim of the footpad gets OH the highway. The traveling men who spend millions of dollars with the railroads annually, get nothinr. but a fund of ?-10,000,000 is Bpent by the companies every year in corrupting politicians, judges and public officials. The Pennsylvania people here have discharged a score of men and are building a park and fountain. By the time the depot grounds are embellished, every square yard of the lawn will represent a tramp looking for work, and every blue-eyed flower a hungry pang."

Dangerous IJOI of l'rixoiicrM. Several times during the past few monthB attempts have been made at jail deliveries at Frankfort and Tuesday night a hole large enough for a man's body was found cut through the steel and brick wall, all except the la6t layer of brick. The work is thought to have been done by Colfax and Maneon robbers. Wednesday morning James Adams, one of the prisoners, demanded to be liberated, and no attention being paid to his demands, he proceeded to break out all the window glass and stack the furniture. Deputy McDonald went into the cell rooom to quiet the young man and he attacked the oflicer with a hickory club. McDonald fired two shots at him, neither of which took effect, but with his mace he succeeded in knocking him down a number of times and then dragged him into a cell. The prisoners are the most dangerous lot ever in jail there.

Col. Dick Thompson, of Tcrre Ilnute, Celebrnleu Ills 87th Birthday Anniversary.

Wednesday, at Terre Haute, Col. Dick Thompson, celebrated his 87th birthday. During the day he has been at home to the young people and children ot his friends, and that evening his daughter, Mrs. D. W. Henry gave a public recep tion to his elder friends. During the past year he has given new evidence of his marvelous powers by making speeches which were almoBt equal to those delivered by him in bis younger days. At the recent republican State convention he spoke with hie old-time fire and eloquence, and his appearance on the 6tage waB one of the prominent features of the convention.

Fatal Fall. Monday night Mrs. Dr. H. C. Rogers, wife of a prominent physician of Rockvile, fell down the cellar stairs, receiving injuries from which she died without, recovering consciousness. A lamp she was carrying broke and set fire to the house. Fortunately the husband re turned from his office in time to extinguish the flames. All tho family were away except a young son, who had fallen asleep. How the accident occurred is not known. For many years the Rogers family lived in northern Putnam couLty where thoy are well known.

Dr. Uulicn Will I'rolmcly ltc Gliosi'n. The trustees of DePauw University wero in session this week. Financia matters alone have been considered BO far. Nothing has been done in the matter of a president, but the question will be decided before adjournment. It is thought that Dr. Gobin will be continued as acting president. There are no other names talked of at this time.

Wallace Sparks is expected back fromV his wedding tour to-day. ......

l'liytiiciantt Want Pay. The physicians engaged in holding tho poBt mortem examination on the body of Clara Shanks, the girl supposed to have been murdered in Parke county, are not disposed to give up in their efforts for the amounts they claimed from Fountain county for their services. Tho suits for the amounts were brought to this county some months ago on change of venue, but the complaints not being drawn up in thorough legal form were dismissed. This time the complaints are amended and will doubtless go through whatever may be the final result. There are, we believe, five phyBi cians, each of whom claim $300 for his work in the post mortem business, making quite a Bum to come out of the Fountain county treasury, with costs if thoy win. ''C—

Arrrcsted for Stcnllng. A young fellow was arrefeted at the Plum street depot for swiping a 30 cent valiee, the kind ladiesgenerally carry, on Wednesday. He will probably get a trip to the penitentiary, as like that of Bill Bennett who stole 7 cents worth of coal, but forgers and givers of bank checks when they have no money on deposit, like that of Throckmortin are let go. Where does the justice come in in Buch C6B6B? It seems that tho thief who steals the largest amount always gets the least punishment.

ricaned With Crawlordnvllle. Hundreds of the Sunday school delegates in attendance at the convention here this week had never been in Crawfordsville before, and expressed themselves much pleased of what they saw of our city. One thing in particular pleased them and that was tho neat and well kept lawns in front of many residences in various parts of the city.

Wood To He Looked Alter. It seems probable that Will Wood, the Greencastie boy, arrested for eenuing the vile letter through the mail to bcott Jackson, relating to Pearl Bryan, will likely bo handled by the government authorities, even if the civil do nothing with him. He is now living in. tho country norh of Greencastie.
