"All Were Supplied.

Referring to the actioD of the council in securing friends a^d relatives to positions of profit belonging to the city, a city official said: "Smith got his son-in-law in, Tom I Noiar. had Kelly, a cousin, rewarded by

1

a job. Dr. Hutchings had his 6ou retained and salary increased, Wilhite, who is a relative of Carr, got his place for him, and if Hutton and McCampbell did not get some relative a position under pay of the city it

waB

their own

fault. For some reason Mayor Stilwell failed to get either one of his boys a place."

From the universal disgust at such proceedings expressed on every hand, both by democrats and republicans, it is highly probable that all these appointees will next year be made to walk the plank, as well as the councilmen whose terms expire at that time aDd who may seek re-nomination.

Sun Brothers' World's Progressive Shows. The visit of the traditional circus show, likewise brushes up business for our dealers, as their extra trade from the country compels extra clerical help brought in requisition to attend the buying throngs, and everybody wears a 4th of Jhly smile. Such will be the case on Monday, May 17th, when Sun Bros.' World Progressive Shows visit t/rawfordeville. The parade, the music, the clattering of horses' feet, the jingling of armor, the gay colors, all cause enthusiasm ana bricg "halo" to the ear.

A FORMER PHYSICIAN

Of Crawfordsville Suddenly Becomes

Insane at Indianapolis and Six Men Are Necessary to Hold and Confine Him.

Dr. Dawson E. Barnes, a former resident of Crawfordsville, where he resided up to seven years ago when he removed to Indianapolis, suddenly became violently insane on Wednesday afternoon at his home in that city. Last October he had an attack of meloncholia, was taken to a sanitarium in Pennsylvania, and after a lew week's treatment was returned home as cured. Wednesday his insane freak returned, and going to the back part of the lot of bis residence on north Illinois street, he tore off all his clothing and began to yell loudly. His wife at once devining the cause sent for assistance to restrain him from injury to himself or neighbors A number came soon. Six men seized him. It took their united efforts to place him in the patrol wagon. On the way to the police station, Dr. Barnes butted his head violently against the dobr and would have battered it down, but that two policemen stood on the steps and pressed against it. The mad man cut bis head and knees severely, and when put in a room in the police station he tried to butt his head against the wall. An effort will be made to have him sent to the insane hospital at once.

The doctor is a son-in-law of Joshua McKinsey, and was visiting here only about ten days ago, and gave no evidence to many with whom be conversed of any diseased state of mind, in fact was pleasant and kind spoken to all. and stated that he was perfecting arrangements to resume his travels in thiB part of the State as a specialist in the treatment of diseases.

The Experience of a Farmer. J. L. Davis an old farmer of Forest township, cAnton county, has been compelled to replevin a 1250 note extorted from him by lightning rod sharks Several months ago a pretended horse buyer negotiated for two horses, and persuaded Mr. Davis to place lightning rods on his new home, agreeing to do the work for $5, and take two horses, .'or which he was to pay 975 each. Mr. Davis accepted ttw proposition, and be was given a sealed envelope, said to contain the contract. Two hours later two men began rodding his house, and, becoming suspicious. Mr. Davis tore open the envelope, only to find himself worsted. Meanwhile, the two men made him believe it was a prison offense to open the envelope, and they frightened him into a compromise, by which he paid the $75 and gave his note for the balance. The other day a man turned up with a note for $250, while had been signed by Mr. Davis, and which had paseed into the possession of J. W_ Gaser, of Chicago. Mr. Davis laid his cane before an attorney, and a trap was tprung, by which'possession of the note was recovered.

The Only Son a Preacher. Gov. Mount's only son, Harry, is a preacher. In speaking of a sermon delivered by him at Indianapolis last Sunday, the Sentinel pays him the following compliment: "The Rev. Harry N. Mount, son of Governor James A. Mount, a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, preached last night at the Memorial Presbyterian church. The young man has a splendid presence in the pulpit, is graceful in his delivery, enunciates clearly, and above all has a personal magnetism about him such as to attract interest in his every word.

The young man is destined to a brilliant career in the pulpit. His sermon last night was thoroughly doctrinalHis choice of language was superb. It was simple and he talked in a clear, forceful way that kept the attention of his hearers throughout his hour's discourse."

The New School Building. Krutch & Laycock are the architects of the new building for echoel purposes to be erected in the third ward. The building will contain eight rooms, will be two-story, with a large basement for furnace and the stowing away of coal, wood and matters relating to the heating of the structure.

PETE" SMAIL

Has Matrimonial Troubles Before the

Honey Moon" Closed.

Vtry many persons remember "Ptte Sninil, who only a year or two ago resided in Crawfordsville, and most of then generally liked him for his affable qualities and hustling abilities. "Pete'' sold newspapers, peddled goods, run a small show, and in other ways demonstrated industrious qualities which seemed to presage a successful man. lie finally began the study of n-edicine, and a year or two ago opened an office for business in Indianapolis. He got married in February last and here is where he probably miBsed it. It is probable a case of marrying in haste to repent at leisure. This week bis wife, whose maiden name was Ida M. Greene, began divorce proceedings before a court in Indianapolis. The wife avers that on May 3 her husband struck her and four dayB later shook his list in her facc. On this occasion, she avers, he somewhat boastfully declared, "If she thought she could live with a Smail and not take a whipping she Wan very much mistaken." Another allegation of the complaint charges that Smail shortly after their marriage brought his father Dr. Smail, and maiden sister to live with them. He then called in the plaintiff and gave her to understand that the sister was there for the purpose of 'bossing her.'

Most every one will admit that to be cooped up in the same quarters where the father of the defendant stays for any considerable length of time would be punishment enough to entitle anybody to absolute matrimonial freedom, regardless of any other allegations made and proven.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Has Extended a Call to "Rev. M. J.

flcLeod, who will Accept.

By the resignation of Rev. E. B. Thompson a vacansy occurred in the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of this city. The church has extended a call to Rev. M. J. McLeod, of Pittsburg, who it is understood will accept. Rev. McLeod has frequently preached to the congregation, and does not therefore come as a total stranger to its members. The salary is $1,500 per year, and he will assume charge Julv 1st.

Township School Enumeration. The trustees of the eleven townships of the county as likewise those of all the corporations, except Crawfordsville met at the Auditor's office last Saturday week to report the number of children of age to attend school. There is a gan in the number over last year in the county of about 120 only. The following table shows the enumeration as reported: 1 8 9 7 a in Coal Creek 739 Wayne 341 Ripley 417 Brown 424 8 Scott 287 Clark 3'3 21 Walnut? 474 2$ .... Franulin 3S0 .... 1G Sugar Creek 260 4 .... Madison 449 39 .... Union 1495 .... 15 Crawfordsville Not reported. Waynetown 204 23 Darlington 22G 13 Ladoga 403 8 Waveland 315 48

In Crawfordsville there is a falling off in the number of school children compared to last year.

Again Postponed.

The trial of Ed. Holloway against the Big Four railway in which the sum of $25,000 is demanded by the plaintiff for false imprisonment has been again postponed until the September term of the Putnam county circuit court. This is the case in which Holloway, who lives in this city, but was working two years ago for the Big Four company on its line running through Clay county, was scared by detectives into making a confession that he had mispUc (1 a switch by which an engine was thrown from a track and the engineer killed. His prompt arrest and imprisonment fellowed at the instance of the company. As soon as Holloway was let alone and afforded an opportunity to be heai'd, it was at once ascertained that he was innocent and his liberation soon followed. The trial has been postponed two or three times already. .•

A Good Appointment.

Ed. Robinson, whom the writer knew as a printer over 40 years ago at Lafayette haB been appointed an assistant to the State factory inspector at a sal ary of $1,000 per year. The appointment we believe to be a good one, the appointee a worthy citizen, the only exception being his politics which haen't improved by age, as he always votes the republican ticket.

56TH YEAR.-NO 40. .1

A SUCCESSFUL HOLD UP.

It Might Have Been, But the Vigorous Use of a Whip Prevented It.

The road leading down the hill on the north side of the river to its length to the iron bridge north west of the city is long, winding, sti«ep and an ideal place for a highwayman aHer dark to pounce on the late traveler and compel him to staud and deliver up his valuables. This was attempted Saturday night after dark by a couple of would-be Claude Duvals at this place upon Fred Dorn of Waynetown, but through tha quick actions of Dorn in whipping his horse, and at the same time striking one of the men with the butt end of the whip, faiied. Dorn had $7.00 in cash and was coming to town in a buggy when two men came out from the Bid* of the road, ordered him to stop, hold up his hands and turn over his valuables at once. He stopped but a second, gave the horse a cut with his whip, which caused one of the men to fall djwn, while with the whip he hit the other one, and. was soon beyond danger. The police, it is said, say they know who the highwaymen are. If BOwhy not arrest them at once. They said the same when old man Devanwas robbed, yet made no arrests, If they are BO certain why not take themen in promptly.

Playing Hoss.

The city council this week in seeking to elect persons for city attorney, eloctric light superintendent, and other positions seemed to act like anything else than servants of the people. Most of them seemed to be looking after spoils for their friends, and nearly every one had a relative or a personal friend that he desired to put into some job. Whittington and the Mayor had several wordy contests during the process of balloting. Smith wanted his son-in-law, Abraham, appointed superintendent of the electric light plant, Tom Nolan wanted Mike Carroll for the same place, llutton wanted Warbinton,.and we believe Hutchings wants his son to have a change with an increase ot salary. The proceedings have generally disgusted most citizens from first to* last.
