CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MAY 8,

ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY. /-v

EI F. IiU.SE, ItuHinCHS Manager,

County Board of Education.

The County Board of Education met at the office of CoiiDty Superintendent Zuck laft Saturday and organized by electing Mr. Syamies secretary.

Dr. Keegan, member of the Board of Health, made a talk to the board, in the course of which he recommended a sterilizer for each 6chool house, costing about 824, but the sense of the board appears to have been they could comply with the law by providing an equally good sterilizing apparatus at a cost of five or six dollars.

Supt. Zuck then gave his instruction to the board in which tie gave tlae following thoughts: That each member of the board should have a due appreciation of the responsibilities of his position, and work for the welfare of the children, make ample provisions for the sanitary conditions of the school ho us-? and premises, as the child was very susceptible to the influences of his environments.

Economy at the expense of child-life was of the poorest economy. He also spoke of the poor teaching in many instances in districts where they usually broke in the ne teachers. Power in true teaching consists of being able to give the child the ability to think.

In a school where the teacher did all the talking he found a poor school and recommended a vacation for the teacher. But where he found the pupils doing most of the tnlking he found a good school and recommended that teacher being retained. He further recommended that a living be put into the salary of the teachei. That he would recommend fewer districts and better schools.

As was his custom he took the members of the board to dinner at the Landman House.

No Suit Yet Entered.

Nn suit has yet been entered by the Commissioners against ex-Treasurer J. C. Hutton and bondsmen, regarding the matter of settlement, and it may be wise if a reasonable compromise can be reached, that there be none. The difference is solely regarding the amount due from Mr. Hutton, the Commissioners claiming, it to be about double the amount that Hutton considers himsblf liable for. Law suits are generally very uncertain and expensive, and are to be avoided if possible. A suit of this kind may continue from court to court for years, and at its close neither side the gainers by it. Under the circumstances considering the changing of the law governing a treasurer's settlement we belisve a settlement by compromise will prove to be the wisest action.

Christian Church Conference. The Ministerial Institute of the Western Indiana Christian Conference will be held this year at Wingate. The conference will begin on Tuesday, the '25th inst., and continue for three days. All the leaders if the denomination in Indiana will be present.

Hicks Predicts.

Mr. Hicks, the weather prognosl.icator, who sometimes hits the mark and sometin es misses, says it* is his opinion that we will have a very warm summer extending through September. I think that the conditions are favorable for a long heated term, holler, in fact, than last year. If 1 had any business that would suffer from heat, I should take precautions to protect it for the summer. The warm spells may be broken by light Jrainfall?, but I think July August and September will

(be

this year than'usual."

The Will of the Late W. T. Brush.

The will of attorney W. T. Brush, who died last week, was admitted to probate on Wednesday. In the will he disposes of a number of paintings, books, and household goods to various relatives and friends.

The will provides for a monument to be erected to the deceased and wife in Oak Hill cemetery, the same to cost not over $250.

The will finally provided that the executor convert the remainder of the estate, real, personal and mixed into cash BO soon as he can without sacrificing it and after paying all just claims, to devide the money as follows: To Ella P. Brewer, three tenths to John C. Brush, two tenths to Mrs. Mary Kritz, two tenths to Mrp. Sarah Lowe, two tenths to Mrs. Lula W. Thomson, one tenth. The will was written by B. K. Rusttell ar.d is witnessed by H. H. Talbot and Jacob Metzker.

No Caucus.

The republican trustees sought to have a caucus last Saturday for the purpose of deciding whom of the candidates for county schoel superinten dent they would support, but one or two trustees refused to go into it. and there tho matter dropped. Both Kleiser and Brewer, it is said, have dropped out o" the race, and it is thought by some that either Griest or Fry will bo chosen for the place, although the matter i8 very uncertain. The selection is to be made on the first Monday of next month. No democratic candidate is montionod, it being considered a hopeless race politically for him.

No Caucus.

The sis republican trustees failed to secure a caucub on Tuesday to indicate their choice for country school superintendent. Minnick, the "Walnut township trustee, is for Walkup, of Mace, for the position, and considers probably with the aid of the five democratic trustees he can land his muu. Wo beg to suggest that he may find some of the democratic trustees very lukewarm in their support of him, and it won't do to bet on his selection through that source.

May Festival.

Programmes announcing the annual May festival at Indianapolis on the 20, 21, and 22, have been scattered over town. These festivals are given, not BO much for any choice musical exhibitions that may be produced, but to give scores of light-brained women and men the opportunity to show the latest fashions in their wearing apparel, and the chance of seeing their names in print in consequence and on that line the "festivals" are generally popular.

LaPearl's show is at Lansing, Mich, next week, 'j

56TH YEAH.— NO

Od«-

Robbed.

of Gus Karle, on west

Main street, was entered by thieves Sunday night, who seemed to have had a key to the establishment fitting the lock of a side door, and robbed of fifteen or twenty dollars. Grant Weaver's blood hounds were brought from their kennel at the fair ground next day and put upon the scent, but too lute to be of any benefit as the trail had become "cold" and the dogs were unable to pursue it with any degree of success.

Who Will it Be?

An Indianapolis News special from Crawfordsville says: "The township trustees of Montgomery county are having a hard time to select a successor to County Superintendent J. S. Zuck. The board stands six republicans and five democrats, and one of the republicans refuses to cau-jus with the balance. It is charged that he will go in with the democrats, and, bv theiaid, elect a republican most agreeable to the opposition."

He Took $5.00.

The residence of Dr. Cowan, on south Washington street, was entered by a thief on Tuesday night. The pantaloons of the doctor, leit by him ott\ a chair on retiring tj bed, were taken out of the house and carried a block or two away where they were found next morning. The sum of 15.00 was taken from a pocket after which the pantaloons were thrown away, No one in particular is suspected.

To be Placed on the Stone Pile.

Marshal Grimes has requested the police force to arrest all tramps and beggars whenever found in town, and have them placed on to stone pile* Tramps have become uncommonly numerous during the past few weeks, in fact entirely too plenty. Some of them may be worthy of charity but most ot them, no doubt, are professional beggars and would scorn the offer of a good job of work.

Officers Elected.

The executive committee of the Knights of St. John appointed to make arrangements for a 4th of July celebration held a meeting and organized electing the following officers:

Chairman—John Drury. Cor. Sec.—J. A. Brennan. Rec. Sec.—Edward L. Barr. Financial Sec.—J. A. Carroll. Ireasurer—W. C. Murphy.

Prospective Damage Case. Attorney M. C. Hamil), of Terre Haute, has been employed by the administrator of the estate of the late John McKerizie, of Rosedale, who was killed in a wreck at Walnut Forks less than a year ago. Unless the railroad company makes a satisfactory settlement a suit for damages will be filed.
