CORY VS. T1ERNY.
The Prize Fight Booked For To
morrow Horning.
The longtaiked-of prize tight between Ed. Cory, of this city, and Jack Tierny, of Frankfort, is booked for to-morrow morning. Both men have been training industriously for three weeks past, and both will weigh near 180 pounds, on entering the ring. Cory seems to be the favorite in betting circles. The fight, it is thought, will occur just over the line in Illinois, seven miles southeast of Danville. The puree is for $400* John Robbins, of this city, will act as roferee. A goodly number of sports from Crawfordsville will leave for the intended light on the train going west at 1 o'clock to-morrow morning.
Retirement of Judge Harney. After an occupancy for the full term of six years as Judge ot this Circuit, James F. Harney retired from the bench on Thursday- and Jere West assumed the position. There have been few judges in along series of years who have been more popular with lawyers, litigants and the public than Mr. Harney. He has been a judge without prejudice, tempering justice with mercy," sincere in the discharge of his duties and one who has the esteem and well wishes of the people. The bar met on his retirement and passed a series of resolutions commendatory of Judge Harney, from which we make the following extract:
RESOLVED: That in the administration ot the duties of hie office he has maintained the dignity and character of the court and has presided over its deliberations in
Buch
a manner as to in
spire absolute confidence in his honesty and integrity, and his rulings have always been accepted as the conclusions of a conscientious and upright judge.
Berry's Good Taste.
The Veedersburg
NewB,
speaking of
their street fair, this week, has the following deservedly good words to say of the Knights of St. John: "The Knights of St. John, of Crawfordsville, attended in a body and gave a drill on our streets Sunday afternoon. This is the finest organization of that name in the United States. Capt. John Drury showed that he is capable of filling the worthy place he occupies and his men showed careful training and much good work."
The Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army in this city is under the charge
of
Capt. L/ee and wife,
and they have established headquarters for the winter at tfce corner of Green and Market streets. The present appearance of the army here fails to create the
Bensation
as in former years, and up
to this time few recruits have been added to the ranks.

The recovery ot Ben. Swank, of Coal Creek township, injured by being thrown from a wagon, is considered impossible,hi« injuries being, it is thought, beyond the skill of the physician to overcome. He is partially paralyzed.

WAYNETOWN.
New Building in Process of Erection
and Business is on the Increase. A REVIEW representative made a visit to the promising little town of Waynetown and has been appraised that Linden is not nlone in the matter of a boom. It begins to look like old Montgomery county would at last become a member of the head class with her new industries and energetic men of business. There who reud of new venture sundertaking by ourjsister towns can but partially realize the extent of the same and would be surprised to view the marked improvements of today.
Waynetown is the second station west of the county
Beat
WAYNETOWN TODAY
Is putting on new life and the rust of indifference that formerly obscured the town has long since been wiped away until now it can rightly be termed a pretty small town with the luster of life and neatness. New buildings and dwellings have been erected within the past year and the building is yet unfinished.
NEW INDUSTRIES
Have found a place within Waynetown borders and are yet in contemplation. Strangers have become residents of the town and have added to its list of business and professional men. An unusually large elevator building is nearing completion and Waynetown's first planiug.mil! has bten started this w.eek by experienced hands. The new and first electric light plant has been running successfully since last March and on every hand there is an indication of a prosperous growth.
THE BUSINESS FIRMS
Of Waynetown are, without a Bingle exception, up-to-date as is shown by the completeness of the stock handled and the concentration of their efforts in behalf of the community in general. The REVIEW man owes special mention to the following
THE WAYNETOWN BANK
Was established in 1892 hy private individuals as a rpsult of the urgent demands for such an institution. It is a credit to the town and is to a great extent responsible for Waynetown's growth to-day. Its officers are: President and cashier, Win, Rider Vice president and assistant cashier, B. T, Merrell Directors, Chris Brant, W. F! Kemloy, S. K, Hendricks, E. Baldwin and C. Schenck. The bank is located in the brick building on the northeast corner of Main and Vine streets and in handsome tjuarter.s.
Wm. Haas is sole ownpr and manager of the electric light plant, having started that venture on March 1st of this year. Mr. Haas in this particular has done much for the town and considering that the result of his venture was so uncertain in the beginning and that his own public spirit has caused the town to realize such a noted improvement he certainly should be commended and heartily supported. The plant is located near the depot and consists of a dynamo with a capacity of 750 lights and a 50 horse power engine fed by double boilers. At present there are 15 street lamps and 200 incandescent lamps in use with more constantly added. During the day time he is engaged in the manufacture of fork, rake and hoe handles using the same power that runs his light plant. These goods he Bhips all over the United States. His son W. H. Haas is engineer.
E. W. Hamilton formerly a lawyer here conceiving the necessity of a planing mill abandoned his profession and embarked in that business two months ago, using horse power to run his saws. This week he has increased the capacity of his mill and has added a 10 horse power engine. Mr, Hamilton is a skilled workman in wood and grill work and 'has had an experience in that line cov ering a period of 14 years. His mill is located on north Vine street.
THE EXCHANGE MILLS

w%
on the line of
the Big Four railroad. In former vears it was but a mere village known as Middletown and a stopping point on the old stage coach route between Indianapolis and Danville, At the time the Big Four railroad was built the town was incorporated and the station named Waynetown which name was also adopted by the postoffice and consequently retained to the present time. It has shown remarkable growth and particularly within the last few years. Several of the old settlers of Middletown yet reside in the locality and point with exceeding pride to its substantial growth.

EUGENE WILSON
came here from Crawfordsville three ye^rs ago and purchased a new stock of jewelry. Mr. Wilson's store to-day is a credit to the town. He holds diplomas as an optician and watch maker, and is the owner of one ot the best optical test cases in the State. He carries a full stock of watches, clocks, silverware, fancy novelties, etc. Mr. Wilson has trade from all over the State, and has delivered goods to distant territories. So great in demand are his services that he makes one trip a week to different parts in the county to perform services as an optician.

English's Opening Date and Attraction. Theatre parties are being organized all over the State to see the new English Opera House at Indiasapolia some time during the opening week, which begins Monday night. Oct. 25. That will be a decidedly gala week for socie ty, and it is going to be quite the thing for ploasure parties from the surround."? ing to .ns.
The luxurious appointments of the uew English's have already been described in this paper.
The initial attraction will be Klaw & Erlanger's "Jack and the Bean Stalk," the most famous production of this country. Mora than one hundred peo-'f pie are in the cast, making thiB the largest company now touring. I'his is said to be the most elaborate and costly 1 production ever presented in America. It is now on its second season. So great was its success last year that the entire season was consumed in satisfying the demand for it in three cities, New York, Boston and Philadelphia, so its touring had to be postponed till this year.
The sale of tickets opened at 9 a. Thursday Oct. 2lst. Seats for this, as well as all other attractions during the season, can always be engaged by telegraph or telephone, or mail addressed to Treasurer English's Opera House, Indianapolis, Ind.
No Cause for a Rope.
The assertion that any business man who fails to advertise is "a human hog," is rather sweeping and untrue. Business men are of all sorts and shades of opinion regarding the modes and manners of conducting their affairs, but because such firms, for instance, as Jake Joel, Richmond & Ross, Cash Fry, Johnson Clore, Tannenbaum Bros., and someothers do not choose to make their .. businoss known through the colu ns of the newspapers, it is an unjust reflection upon them to be termed "hogs." It is their business solely as to how in every respect they should conduct their establishments.
New Bridges for the County. The county commissioners in session^ this week, awarded the contract for the construction this fall of five iron bridges. James M. Waugh, as agent for the Lafayette bridge company, received the* contracts, One bridge a mile south of town on the Greencastle road will cost 8335 another over Haw Creek in Clark township, will cost 8970 another east of Ladoga will cost $335, the two others are in Ripley township, and cost $780. •A

The presence of a large number of persons from Darlington on Saturday eve night caused a silly rumor to be started an imitation of the scenes around the jail at Versailles, Ripley county, some: weeks ago, in which some men were. men were lynched, would be repea ed here, with Thompson who on that morning had shot his wife. There was no cause whatever for such rumor. A good sized crowd were down from Darlington, but they came to witness the •'Brownie" show at Music Hall, and had no ideas nor intentions of uBing a rope to lynch any person. There is no question that Thompson will receive his just deserts at the proper time by the court organizsd to attend to such persons, guilty of the crime he is, and there has never in the county's history been an occasion for the people tc take the law intotheir own hands. The courts have very generally meted out justice in correct proportion?.
"A Human Hog."
Don't buy goods of the business man who don't advertise. He has no trade and his goods are stale, rotten, out ot 4 style and unfit to use. There is no exception to this rule. The man who don't advertise is a human hog and he won't divide profit with his customers, therefore, when patronize him you get "done" to a finish. And there is no exception at all to this statement of fact. —Star.
