Killing Qnalls.

A special to the Sentinel from Crawfordsville says: Sportsmen in Montgomery county are denouncing the action of certain persons in preparing a bill and having it introduced in the legislature making it an offense to shoot or in any way kill quails for a period of five years.

A paper protesting against the passage of the law will be circulated and forwarded to Indianapolis as soon as possible.

Sportsmen of Montgomery county a a small part of its population, and those of the people aside from it will without question favor the five years' bill. Quails do little harm and if the killing of them is prevented for a few years they will undoubtedly be much more plentiful than now.

The School

Supt. McAlevy in his remarks to the meeting at the court house on Wednesday evening of last week, made a contijut between Orawforrisville and Lebanon which is highly complimentary to to the latter. £T» said that Lebanon was abetter business point and that here was work here for five men to every man employed in Crawfordsville. But Mc. is a pretty "smooth man" and will be able to fix it up all right with his neighbors of the lloosier Athens.— Lebanon Pioneer.

FORElOfl MISSIONS

Vs- Hunger, Poverty and Distress in Orawfordsville. A minister in one of our city churches we understand raked bis congregation fore and aft a few Sundays ago for not contributing more freely to foreign missions. He spoke in sad, harrowing tones of the distress and poverty among the heathens of foreign lands, of the need of more mouey to aid in their temporal and spiritual welfare, of the neglect among civilized nations like us to contribute to their benefit.

There is another eide to this charity business which this minister has probably overlooked. He has probably also dropped from his memory the injunction, "Let charity begin at home." Very few, except those suffering themselves, are aware of the wide spread distress, poverty, hunger and misery, arising from hard times, prevailing right now in CrawfordBville. Ii this minister did, we are confident be would let up on the "foreign mission" cry and look more after home interests. An intelligent man whose business calls him to all parts of town almost weekly, and who calls at many residences, informs us that he believes without exaggeration that there are to-day fully from thirty to fifty families that are in actual want of the common necessities of life such as Hour, meat, clothing and such like. Most of these are good respectable peo pie, who through want of ability to secure employment are in sore distress. One family he mentions on Walnut street, the head of whom is a sober reliable man, is compelled to exist on the charity of neighbors. He has no employment and can get none now, and in consequence is humiliated by having to ask for aid frost others. It is that or starve. At another house three children are without shoes, and are affected with rasping coughs and sickness from cold contracted from inability of the family to purchase footware. At another house the family were found living mostly on parched corn, with water to accompany it, and only occasionally do they enjoy a meal different from this. The heads of many of these families cannot obtain work, neither can they obtain credit at most of the groceries, and the j/sesent distressed state of affairs is upon them in full force with little prospect ahead of throwing it off soon

To the Devil with "Foreign Missionb" when we have BO much poverty and distress at our own doors. The reasoning Christian who has the money to give will first see that those of his own home are first provided for.

Kmtauraiit Closed*

The restaurant of Chas. Smith, on north Green street, wafe closed a few days ago by the officers in authority through Otto Schlemrner, who held a chattle mortgage against it. There were also other claims against tbe concern. Up to within the past few months Smith did a good business, but like almost every other occupation'the restaurant business hits been overdone, and the profit from it small. Smith may resume again in tbe spring.

An Unpleasant Task.

Warden Harley, of the northern prison, or hiB deputy, W. T. Tomlinson, will have a duty to perform in the near future which will be auything but pleasant. It will be the hanging of Henry Jones, the Laporte county murderer.

A FORGED CHECK

Makes Matters Decidedly Warm for a Waveland Individual' Dee bmalley resides in Waveland. He and hnrd work are not the best of friends, and in consequence he pursues life leisurely. In consequence at tiniee he finds himself often without a plentiful supply of money. One of these times was about Christmas. He was in town about that time and bad, not 1 enough money to meet pressing demands. To raise it he put his wife's name to a $5 check. He got Cal Herod, of the Warner clothing store, to cash it.

He did

for an aeoommdatiob to

Sinalley, whom he ha IK- otofore known as a square mau. Ukio'3 sent the check to Wavelani', it was returned by the bank there "no good," as Mrs. 8malley had pronounced it a forgery. Herod at once sought Smalley in order for him to right the matter, but he paid no attention. This week an officer went down and on hia appearance Smalley saw at once it was business. Hustling around he secured the money due Herod and enough more to pay all coBts. when further proceedings were dropped. He has doubtless learned a lesson that he will not soon forget, although at considerable cost.

Why Defeat Iif

Councilman Smith this week introduced a bill in the council providing tbat no warrants be drawn except on bills allowed at regular session. This is certainly business like and proper, yet in spite of it it was defeated. If ibey do business that way, of allowing claims to Dick, Tom and Harry, without public action of the council there are ten chances to one there has been and will be yet many unjust and un reasonable payments made for alleged services against the city, They do not do business that way before the county commissioners and should not in the city. It there has not been crooked work through this old system there will be. If any man can get a claim through without close public scrutiny he is a' daisy in most city councils.

John Beadle Serloasly III.

John Beadle, who for many years was editor of the Rockville Tribune, but of late years member of the New York Press Club, is

Baid

to be lying critically

ill at hie home in Rockville. Mr. Beadle is

character in the newspaper field that will long be remembered by Lis works. He is brainy, clever, deep, logical, brilliant, possessing all the qualifications, that go to make up a newspaper man whose writings attract the attention of

nation. His career in the field

has been a varied one. He faced the attack of the Mormons by publishing an antipolygamv paper in their midst, and his able book on Mormonism is a literary gem possessing other merits other than mere word painting. His death would be a severe lose to the newspaper rank of Indiana.—Brazil Times.

J. B. Stanley, of Logansport, the temperaoce ovan^ot at, will commence a series of niwtutfjs of five nighte at Yountsvill:» on Tu ^day, January 19th, and at Alamo, huiwny, January 24.

THE UNEXPECTED.

Always Happens, as it Did in the Case of the Selection of T. L. Stilweil for Mayor.

To witness the selection of a Mayor to succeed Fred Bandle, deceased, drew a large crowd to the council chamber Monday evening. The even division politically of the (council, created the impression that there would be a prolonged contest. On the face of things it seemed that James H. Watson and W. C. Carr were tbe only candidates, but others were hoping the lightnin' might strike them, and it did. On the seventh ballot the three democrat! council men aided by Wilhite,

repub

lican member, voted for Thos. L. Stil well and he was. duly elected. Stilweil has been a standing candidate for the ofiiee of Mayor ever since he was turn, ed down after holding it nearly tea yeare ago. Politically eince then he has been all things to all men, and is a mugwump if anything. His party, if he ia a republican, have alwaye eet down upon him when asking for a nomination, and will do so again. Whether he is in favor of a debt of $15,000 or $20,000 being created against the tax payers to build a system of sewerage we know not, but when the fact "comes up before him (hat .the city is already owing a $67,000 debt, we believe he would, or should, proceed slowly.

RAILWAY JOURNEYS.

Unfortunate For The Cheek FamilyIn the wreck on the Monon, north of the city, five years sgo, and which from start to finish cost the company $75,000 Mr. F. M. Cheek, of Greencastle, wis among those fatally injured. One of his legs was mashed so badly that amputation, was rendered necessary, and he died from the shock within twelve houre. The company paid $5,000 for hie lose to the widow, near a year ago. Mre. Frances M. Cheek was badly injured by an Illinois Central train at Ulliq, III, Suit waB entered by Mrs. Cheek, and a trial had. An exchange speaking of it ssys: "The damage Buit brought by Mrs. Frances M. Cheek, of Greencastle, against the Illinois Central Railway Company, tried at Williamt-port, resulted in a verdict of $14,000 for plaintiff. Hhe was injured at Ullin, III., and and is in a deplorable condition, physically,

Dr. Abbotts Samoa*

In an editorial paragraph the New York World prints what follows: "The acumen displayed by the Wabash College professors who marked one of Dr. Lyman Abbott's sermons which a Btudent had boldly plagarized as bad in thought and compostion recalls a lecture which Dr. Abbott delivered some yean ago before the State Normal school at Terre Haute, Ind. It is said to have been Badly disappointing. The students. who were all of an age when life is taken most seriously, wanted something solid, but the dietingushed divine gave them a humorous talk about court* ship and marriage, and it fell fiat. Dr. Abbott was pastor of the First Cong»a* gational church of Terre Haute from 1859 to 1864."

Expect HrarMIng Develepenenta.

States Attorney A. J. Miller, ot paign, was in the city yesterday. He expocts eome startling developments to come out in the case of asrault on Editor Chapin. which recently occurred theie. It is rumored thai some of the better people of Champaign are connected with the case and the state attorney intends working it to the bottom.—Danville, III., News.
