In Machinery is Noted Near Linden

By the Review Man.

The most complete, and even amazing invention in modern machinery was seen by THE RKVIEW man near Linden, on last Wednesday afternoon. Incidental to the boom now on as a result of the arrival of the long looked for cellulose factory, agents from various manufactories have been in that locality endeavoring to dispose of corn harvesters. We had the pleasure of viewing the operations of the Osborne-Columbia corn harvester, on the farm of James Galey. The machine is an 1898 model of the latest improved, and was purchased by Daniel Conrad, the tenant of tbe farm. The machine was started by Mr. F. G. Moon, the salesman instructor, who had been sent for and came from the factory in Auburn, N. Y. Although the machine was entirely new, fresh painted and excusable in case of impeded action through bearings not yet smooth irom service, it was first placed in a down row of the worst kind and shape, and the manner and ease exhibited by it was to the witness nothing short of wonderful, and indeed miraculous. Other rows were speedily cleaned up and the machine immediately and forever accepted by Mr. Conrad, who is highly elated over his improvement to his farming machinery.

The cellulose company have themselves purchased thirteen of these late machines, and eight have been sold near Linden in less than two weeks. Other manufacturer's agents have placed but ten of their macnines in Linden since last September and have had tbe field continuously since. The Osborne pkt. ent is five years old, but the 1898 model is in advance of the times undoubtedly.

Mr. G. W. Knaur is the local agent for Linden, while H. M. Barter, of this city, is the general agent for western Indiana.

The Clodfelter Electrfc Railway. Since the reorganization of the Clodfelter electric railway company, and the taking of it out of the hands of the receiver the prospects of the company are much brighter than for months past. The line will be completed and in operation, it is said, from Marion to Alexandria, by January 1st. The line, it is said, is to be extended west from Alexandria to Elwood. It is announced that the affairs of the company will be directed by Noah J. Clodfelter, of Indianapolis F. A. Maus. of Indianapolis L, N. Downs, of Battle Creek, Mich., C. S. Cleaver, ^pf Chicago Chas. G. Lohraan, of Indianapolis Dee Allen, of Battle Creek, Mch.. and W. R. Pierson, of Fairmont. The road, when completed, will be tbirty-two miles long.

Rough On Con.

During the Cronin divorce case in the circuit court Monday morning Mrs. Cro nin amused the audience in no small degree by roasting her husband, Con, and son to a rich brown. She had asked the court to grant her temporary alimony in the sum of 875 which Judge West refused, the defense showing her to be possessed of 5600 or more. Having failed in this she became angry and vented her spleen on the righteous heads of her husband and son,-who in turn squirmed in their seats like their pants were on fire. She said her son never did have no sense, nohow," that at one time they bad to send him to the insane asylum for safe keepiog, and that Con bad murdered a woman in Knglanrt before he came to this country, leaving the impression with the amused court that thiB deed played no little part in the cause of Con's emigration,

•OLD PARKE" TO THE FRONT

With Another Murder—This Time a Sixteen-Year«Old Boy Does the Killing.

The need of more missionaries in Parke county to try to civilize its people is yearly made manifest. Another murder occurred in that county this week. James T. Sturgeon, a prominent farmer and stock buyer of the eastern part of the county, was shot and instantly killed Wednesday by Harry Porter, a boy sixteen years old. A Marlin rifle was used, the bullet striking Sturgeou in the head. The cause of the killing was jealousy because of attentions paid by the dead man to the boy's mother. The family warned Sturgeon to keep away. He went once too often. The boy met him in the sugar orchard, some two hundred yards from the house, and shot with fatal effect. He then oame to Rockville and surrendered himself. The coroner has gone to hold an inquest. Sturgeon leaveB a wife and a large family of children. Both families are prominent in that community.

Recalling the McMullen Murder. ¶ "I'm Pearl Dennis, Mr. Bowles. Won't you save papa?" asked a little flaxen haired tot, twelve years ago when she met Tom Bowles on the trail as he returned from Indianapolis during the memorable incarceration of James Dennis as an accomplice in the MuMullen [McMullen] murder. Mr. Bowles then took the little girl in his arms and promised that he would invoke the aid of Heaven and earth. A few days ago Mr. Bowles was accosted by a young lady who said: "Mr. Bowles, I'm Pearl Dennis," and in telling of the incident to a 'Yelper' pencil pusher he remarked that she was so pretty that he was again tempted to take her in his arms.

haired girl has developed into a hand-
