Wants $20,000 Damages. The case of Mattie E. Randal vs. the Monun Railway Company has been brought here on a change of venue from Putnam county. In her complaint the plaintiff alleges that back in the early autumn she took passage on one of the company's freight trains at Roachdale bound for Putnam county's capital, that while the engine was switching cars. the one in which she was sitting was bumped nto with such force as to throw her the full le gth of the car eustaining about 120,000 worth of injuries. At least that is the balm she prays for together with the usual "proper relief."
Has But One Orphan.
Parke county has but one orphan at the present time tor whom a place other than the cuunly a ylum must be provided and as we sta id last week Commissioner Loyd 'arranged with the Montgomery county Orphans' Home to take charge of that. As Parke county generally has small number of this class of dependants it is a happy expedient this disposition of them and one that in the long run will save the county money. Montgomery's orphan home is aD excellent institution of its kind and has been in operation several years.—Rockville Republican.

A Successful Physician. Among the many country doctors of Montgomery county, there is perhaps none more prominent or popular with the people than Dr. G. W. Dewey, who lives in the Breaks neighborhood, four miles northwest of the city. For more than 1G years he has administered to the physical wants Of the people in that neighborhood and enjoys as well as merits as large a practice as any pbyBieian in the county. He is a man of 6teriing character, charitable, and one of the few who responds to the appeals of th: poor as well as the calls of the rich. Would that every community in the county was bkssed with a man like Dr. Dewey.
A Curfew Ordinance.
The city council is agitating the question of a curfew ordinance and the probabilities are such an ordinance will be passed by that body within the next few weks. The supreme court has declared such a law constitutional, and the towns that have adopted it declare it to be just about the article. It improves the morals of a town and pre vents many children from becoming criminals. The bell will ring at 8 o'clock p. m., after which all children under certain ages found on the streets will be arrested. Crawfordsville is bad ly in need of a curfew law so let it come and as quickly as possible.

The annual oratorical contest of Wabash college was held in Center church last Saturday night. The contest was an exceptionally good one and the judges' decisis gave general satisfaction.

Oscar Duncan, of Flat Rock, 111., was awarded first place and will represent Wabash at the State contest. His subject was "A Man Among Men." Russell T. Byers and O. N. McYoughey tied for second honors, while Fred C. Kendall finished -rifruf.

Prof. Emory, of Wabash College, is buying these Mound Builder's toolsfin great quantities for shipment to Germany, and next week will go to Arkansas to make purchases of that kind. Last week Mr. T. D. Brown, the druggist, disposed of his entire collection to the professor, most of which Mr. Brown has been gathering in this county for 20 years past, and which was a very fine one. Walter Britton, wlo ha&gathered a fine collection while running a store at Waynetown, sold all of them to Prof. Emory some time since.

A Peculiar Accident.
Ed Vance, an employe of the Indiana Wire Fence Factory, had an experience Wednesday morning that will perhaps linger with him during the remainder of his days on earth. In the barbing process wire is fed to the machine from an immense spool and is kept thoroughly taught. It was while engaged in this work that the wire broke near the spool, aod coiling around Vance's leg began pulling him, into the machine. The. noise in the factory drowned his cries for help and his frantic struggles while the wire was cruelly cutting into the flesh were something terrible. Fortunately the wire broke just as he reached the machine and he fell back on the floor exhausted. He was carried to his hone when his leg was found to be terribly lacerated, although no bones were broken. It will be several days before he will be able to resume his duties.
