CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY. JULY 10, 1897.

ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY.

Kl» F. l.USK, Business Manager*

The Preacher's i*lother.

The New Richmond Enterprise has the folio wing: "1 left an old lady at my house, said Trustee Morrow, Monday while here, who was there for dinner and begging to lie sent to the poor farm. She is the preacher's mother at Wingate. She has live 6ons and two daughters, all married, I understand, and says t=he has been to the poor house belore. I could nut give her a permit under the circumstances, considering perh.tps that she had got miffed at something and that I would better see the son first. There is surely something radically wrong if some one of the lady's children are not able to care for an aged mother. As Trustee Mor row says, this case needs investigation."

Board of Review.

The Board of Review will remain in session until the last of next week. The session has lusted now three weeke. The Board of Review is a very expensive piece of machinery without resulto commensurate with its cost-. The business this year before it could all have been .completed within three or four days instead of consuming four weeks. This, however, is not the fault of the board, but the law under which it is organized.

ber of decrees of foreclosure entered 20 number of marriage licenses issued 278.

Fast Time.

Walter Leach of this city, made a run on a bicycle, it is claimed on Thursday morning from this place to the Shades and return in 2 hours and 35 minutes. Considering the excessive heat prevailing at the time thiB is a remancabie record, the distance covered being nearly 40 miles.

v'^T^The Curfew at Bedford. The city council of Bedford, has passed a curfew ordinance, which will soon be enforced. It prohibits all children under sixteen years old from being in the street after 0 o'clock at night unless accompanied by parent or guardian.

way to re­

quest the advertising solicitor for the piogram of LaPearl's show not to have the printing done at the Tribune office, because it was a Democratic paper. This is not the first instance that has come to the notice of the proprietor of the Tribune where this same merchant done this kind of business.—Rockvi Tribune.

To tease this partizan damphool who inks more of his politics than his oi'ss,the Tribune can inform him all th .ice that the printing was done in in i, icratic newspaper office.

THE KNIQHTS ON THE FORTH.

A Fair Attendance at the Encamp­

ment at the Fair Grounds.

Notwithstanding the busy season among the farmers added to the hard times in rnony matters the attendance here of people to the celebration of the Forth was fair and much interest was manifested at the marches, maneuvers and drills of the various companies from abroad who came here at the invitaiion of the Knights of St. John of this city. There were companies from Lafayette. Indianapolis, Loganeport and other cities, and their marching through the streets was accurate and with military bearing. At the lair grounds bicycle racing and drills by the companies formed the features of the program.

The first race on the program, the mile novice, wtiq won by F. M. Glore, of Wallace, in 2:38 3-5, with Fred Pear second and Henry Dice, of North Union, third.

The mile open was won by Walter lluff, of this city, lowering the track record to 2:28 2 5. Joe Kadred, of Danville, 111., took second money and F. M. Glore third. Mr. Hull rode a Rambler racer.

The half mile open was also captured by Huff in 1:12 3-5, Kadrey taking second money and Don Cameron third. The excellent time made in this race was due to the line pace making of Ivy Oarr. Upon the conclusion of the bicycle races the drills for the various prizes occurred.

The drill for the $500 prize, participated in by the Indianapolis, Lafayette and Logansport companies, was the feature or the afternoon. The different maneuvers were exceedingly well executed and elicited hearty applause. The Indianapolis Commandery drilled fy Captain Winsch won the prize.

The Zouave drill between the Leiber and Volbert companies came next and proved a pleasing attraction. The prize was divided equally between the two companies.

Made an Assignment.

The 6hoe store of II. and J. W. Thurston was placed in the hands of an assignee this week. The assignment was brought about through suits entered aga'inst Mrs. Alfred Pearce, a stockholder of the concern, and a sister of the Thurstons. A feeling of distrust was created among the creditors by these suits and they demanded an immediate settlement, and as this could not be made an assignment was the next thing in order. The -assets uear S5.000, the liabilities about that sum. Doug. Griffith is the signee.

Gun Club Shooting.

The Crawfordsville Gun Club will have a two-days shooting tournament their ground in the north-western 1 irt ut the city on the 21st and 22d of lais month. Many of the best shots in the State will be present on these days and admirers of this style of sport can witness much enjoyment by attending. Seats will be provided for those in attendance and ladies are invited to be present. The rules of the American Association will govern at the tournament.

To the Sanitarium.

George Bishop, the well known clerk in Jake Joel's clothing store, whose health has been declining for some months past, and who has been under medical treatment at Martinsville, was this week taken to the Fletcher Sanitarium at Indianapolis. A derangement of his mind is thought to be near resulting from a slight paralysis of the left side, and prompt treatment it is hoped and believed will avert it.

Sued for Nuisance.

A trie I of Harper, the butcher, arrested on complaint of maintaining a nuisance in the using of a building for a slaughter house on the Danville road was heard before the Mayor on Tuesday resulted in a disagreement of the jury which had boen called to hear the case. A re-hearing of the case will probably be ordered.

Governor's New Daughter.

Governor Mount is by no means an old man, but his second grandchild came into the world yesterday and he had the pleasure of hearing her cry over the long distance telephone all the way from bhannondale. The babe is the daughter of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. E. Butler, of Shannondale.—Indianapolis Journal.

Called to Illinois.

Mr. and Mrs. Horace F. King were called to Robinson, Illinois, on Satur day night by a telegram announcing the death of Mr. King's mother, who has been in poor health for some time. The funeral occured on Monday of this week. .«•

A SHOT IN THE MOUTH

Is Received by Dan George, Which

Stops Further Dispute.

John Ellis, a log hauler of Parke county, came to Crawfordsville Saturday to remain over to enjoy our Fourth of July festivities, and has remained here ever since. He visited a family in that delectable locality near the Monon depot. While there he got into a dispute with one Dan George. He drew a revolver in the melee and fired. The ball from the revolver entered the mouth of George, shattered his jaw and passed out near his ear. George lost all interest in the matter at once, and was carried into a building near by and a physician sent for. The wound is not serious and unless blood poison sets in George will soon recover. Ellis tied at once from the scene of the trouble, but was captured in an hour or two and landed in jail. He has been in trouble before, and iB said to have heretotore "done time"' in a State institution for some crime, snd may be returned again to former quarterr.

Post Office War at Waveland.

The news that Mr. Landis had recommended F. W. Kritz for postmaster here came through a letter from that gentleman to our distinguished colored fellow citizen, Dred Hargrave. It created no surprise, as nearly every one who talked to Landis last week bocame convinced that his mind was fully made up before hand.

He

Raid

to Mr, Scott: "If I should

appoint you on the strength of that election, how would I square myself with the other places whore eloctions have been held?"

There really was no occasion for him to waste a day here. With Mr. Kritz we have no quarrel, lie is a good citizen, a good business man, and will make us a good postmaster we have no doubt and his fight for the position was made openly and honorably. But a majority of the Republican patrona ot the office had choson another man, and they had a right to expect his appointment, according to the popular notion that majorities rule in this country.—Wavelaud Independant.

Rewarded.

Fred Hustis, a former Crawfordsville citizen, who removed from here five years ago, going to the State of Washington, is to have some of the leaves and tishes handed out by the McKinley administration. His name has been presented to the Senate for confirmation as collector of customs in Washington, and will doubtless be acted upon favorably. The job is worth $6,500 per year, and is indeed a good one considering the oidinary ability of the appointee.

Fences Removed.

The fence surrounding the college campus, a mile or more in length, is rapidly being torn down and removed preparatory to a system of improvements of tho^ground soon to be inaugurated. It is questionable, considering the extent of the ground, whether this is the corract thing to do unless some one is employed constantly day and night to have a constant supervision of the ground.

The LaPearl Show.

The LaPearl show on Wednesday drew out a fair attendance of people at the evening performance. The show has many new features, and is much the best Mr. LaPearl has yet brought here during his annual visits for six years past. After a tour of Illinois and Iowa the show will in October go to West Virginia and Kentucky, and remain out until Tec. 1st.

Completed.

The foundation for the Wilson school building is abount completed and work on the first Btory will be commenced in a few days. Instead of this building being completed and ready for the opening of the schools in September it is questionable if it completed until late next fall. That is the way it looke just now.

Harvesting.

The harvesting eeason is now on and farmers are quite busy. The wheat cutting began this week in many localities, while hay and clover are receiving attention. The yield of wheat on some farms will be larger than anticipated some weeks ago, while in other localities there will be a poor crop.

Wabash College Gets $70,000. A decree was signed in New York yesterday directing the executors of the Fayerweather estate to distribute the residuary estate, amounting to about 83,000,000, between the twenty colleges named as beneficiaries. The share of Wabash College will be about §70,000, and this does not include the §50,000 original bequest, minus an inheritance tax of §2,500, which the college has already received.

56TH YEAR.- NO 48.

ONCE AGAIN

Is the Talk Revived Regarding the

Fayerweather Will.

There has been much reported for a year or more past regarding the Fayerweather will of which Wabash College has a deep interest. Unless some lawyer succeeds in delaying the paying of the amounts set fourth in the will, in order to increase his fee, the colleges named in the will, Wabash being one of them, will soon receive their share of the money. A dispatch this week: "The report of Charios W. Dayton, as referee appointed by the Supreme Court to take the state of the accounts of Thomas G. Hitch, Harry G. Vaughn and Justus Buckley, the executors of the will of Daniel B. Fayerweather, was formally confirmed by Justice Pryor to-day. Justice Pryor also signed the decree directing the executors within ten days to distribute bbtween the twenty colleges named as beneficiaries in Mr. Fayerweather's will the residuary estate amounting- to. over 83,000,000."

Seining.

The attention of the deputy lish commissioner, if reports are correct, is. greatly needed now along the banks of Sugar Creek for four or five miles both up and down the stream from Crawfordsville. The law regarding th& taking of hsh by seins or other means is said to be violated weekly, and vast numbers of lish are reported to be taken from the stream in that manner. It is to be hoped the fish commissioner will make himself useful and earn his salary by getting right after these peopie, arrest them and see that they are punished to the limit of the law. A well known individual, living west of the court houBe, who loves to see his. name in print so well that he frequently doeB some little thing in order to get the Journal to publish it, is said to be one of the crowd comprising this seining crew. He may get his name in print now in a manner that will not be at all satisfactory to his vanity if he Pers ets, as alleged, in violating the law.

Physicians Scored.

A quarterly bulletin is being prepar" ed by the State Board of Health in which physicians are criticized for tak-? ing more interest in curative medicines than in preventives, it being openly charged that the physicians are giving the secretary trouble in his sanitary work for no other reason, so far as the secretary can see, than that they want people to be sick. The secretary says: "A search through the programmes of several medical societies and through those of your State societies discovers only one paper upon the subject of pre-! ventive medicine and that paper was an attack upon the State Board ot Health for trying to better health af-'i fairs in the State." The bulletin criticizes the rear at method of electing county hehlih officers saying: "Often incompi'-tcot men hold the position sometime* a poor physician and sometimes a politician who knows nothing, of medicine or sanitary science."
