Death of David Devine.

Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock, at his home on Simpson street, David Dovine passed from thiB life. About two years ago Mr. Devine Buffered a stroke of paralysis and had since been an invalid, although he has always been able to get about the house and yard. Tuesday morning he arose as usual, and after partaking of a hearty breakfast' he seated himself by the fire. A few moments later, and without warning, he suddenly slipped from his chair and expired in a few moments. The second stroke of paralysis had done its work. The funeral occurred from the residence on Thursday.

David Devine was one of the best known contractors and builders in the city. He was born in Beverly. Va., 68 years ago. At an early age he removed with bis family To Lexington, Ky. In 1854 he came to Crawfordsvillo and has since resided here. In the same year he was married to Jennie Epperson, who survives him. To them five daughters were born, viz: Mrs. Anna Montgomery, Mrs. Laura Sloan, Mrs. Grace La v, Mrs. Mary Davis, and Mrs. Blanch Harding. Mr. Devine was a kind and indulgent father, and a man who will be greatly missed by the community.

Taken for a Bunco Man. Charley Kobinson, the shoe man, came very near passing a night in the station house at Chicago, this week, through the mistake of a man at the M.onon depot of that city, who had been swindled out of 85 by a bunco or confidence man, and mistook Robinson for the individual a few moments afterwards. Robinson was seated in a car of the train bound homeward, when the buncoed man came in and demanded the 85 he said he had loaned him a few moments before. Robinson denied all knowledge of the transaction, while the other party was juBt as persistent that he was the man. He finally called in a detective, and Robinson was taken from the car. Fortunately C. M. Crawford appeared on the scene, identified Mr. Robinson as all right, when he was released. The man swindled was bound for Nashville, and stated afterwards that the money he lost was all he had in the world, but promptly apologized to Robinson for the mistake he had made.

Court Next Week.

The winter term of court begins on Monday. Among the criminal cases comingj before it will be that of Will Thompson for shooting his wife last October, which if heard will probably consume several days of court. The Suit of the commissioners against extreasurer John C-iHutton and bondsmen may also be heard at the ensuing term of court.

Mr. Agnew With The Review. Beginning with Jan. 1, 1898, Grant Agnew has taken a position with THE REVIEW in the capacity of solicitor. Mr. Agnew will make a thorough canvass of Montgomery county in the interest of this paper. He is authrized to solicit and receive money on subscription and job work, and any favors shown him will be greatly appreciated.

The wheat, it is thought, has as yet suffered no great amount of damage from the cold and freezing of the past few weeks.

Charley Robinson has severed his connection with the McClamrock shoe house and will go on the road for a Chicago concern.

The trial of Dr. Stout, of Covington, implicated the malpractice causing the death of Grace McClamrock, of Montgomery county, has been continued in the Parke circuit court until Uarch 2.

The Cloverbloom school house, four miles southeast of Linden, was destroyed by fire, last Saturday afternoon. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.

PITHY POLITICAL POINTS.

The Approaching Campaigns Are

Whetting the Appetites of Nu

merous Candidates.

-To-day is "Jackson's Day"'—dear to every democrat under the Hag.

The republicans will select city precinct committeemen on Feb. 2. L. W. Otto and Frank McCalip would like to succeed W. E. Nicholson as city treasurer.

D. A. Canine will, of course, try and succeed himself as sheriff. No more efficient man than Dave.

There is scarcely a doubt out that Charles Benjamin will receive the democratic nomination for mayor.

Daniel Curiis, of (Joal Creek, Robt. M. Foster and John A. Booe, of Union, will be in the race for county auditor.

The city council started the new year by borrowing $2,500 to tide over until next tax-paving time. Comment is unnecessary.

McMains, Reed, Stilwell, Smith, McCampbell, Carr and Wert are a few of the men seeking the republican nomination for mayor.

Quite a number of democrats from here will attend the Ninth Congressional District convention at Frankfort on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

The young republicans of the city are talking of bringing out M. «. Binford in the Fiist ward and Ed VanCamp in the Third ward for counciimen.

Spencer Lee may come before the convention as a candidate for township assessor. Spencer is a bustling young democrat with a host of friends.

The friends of Asher Wert are trying to push him out for Trustee. Should he receive the nomination Asher'a republican opponent will know he has been in a race.

There promises to be a big crowd at the convention here today. There are no laggards this year, all democrats are working together in harmony and ultimate success is assured.

Walter Fink, a young gentleman from Ripley township, is mentioned as a possible candidate for the office of county surveyor. His name would imply that there is no doubt as to his democracy. a

In view of his splendid work in the previous campaign W. H. Johnston should Bucceed himself as Chairman of the Ninth Congressional District. There is no better qualified man in the district.

Dan Simms is out of the race for Congress in this district, he having this week formed a law partnership with the firm of Hanly & Wood in Lafayette, but our own G. W. L. Brown is still doing business at the old stand.

E. B. Morrow, of Coal Creek township, will probably not be a candidate for Auditor be'Ore the ensuing democratic county nominating convention. Dan Curtir, of Wingate, it is said, will be a candidate for the place.

Grimes, Brothers, Hiatt, Bannister, Wade, and others too numerous to mention, are after the republican nomination for city marshal. If the light between these men continues the next city marshal may bo a democrat. Let the fight go on.

Taylor Thompson and Henry D. Vancleave are both pronounced caudidates for the position of County Chairman. It is also rumored that W.W.Morgan would not be averse to tilling the place. Either of the men would be acceptable to the democrats of the county.

The Argus News is informed that the attaches of a small printing concern of this city are very busy arranging slates for Saturday's convention. We believe the democrats of the county and township will be abundantly able to select delegates witnout the unsolicited efforts of these busy bodies.—Argus News.

THE REVIEW is informed that the above nonsensical squib was aimed at this office, and is the first intimation we have had that any slates were being arranged by us. The poor envious fool that fathers the above can let his soul rest in peace in any matter relating to slate arrangements. THE REVIEW has no choice in who may be selected for any positions whatever in the convention to-day. White or black, bond or free, native or foreigner, is all the same to us, if persons be chosen who are democrats. "r

Happily Jlarried.

George F. Stine and Miss Amanda J. Stith were married on the 5th instant by Rev. G. W. Stafford at his residence eas of the fair ground. This young couple will make their home north of the city, and commence married life with bright prospects before them. They have the best wishes of their many friends for their prosperity and happiness in the future.

Cliff Ruft'ner has gone to Nashville. Tenn., to accept a pos'^'on in a photograph gallery.

Dead To Her Family.

A special from this city to the Indianapolis News says: "Last week Miss Do ra Gordon, of Ladoga, eloped with Thos Brann and was married to him. Now her relatives announce that they have figuratively buried her, and that she has completely passed out of their lives forever. Effort was made after their marriage to induce Mrs. Brann to leave her husband, her brother offering her $2,000 in cash if she would renounce him and return to her relatives. Mrs. Brann's relatives are Hebrews of considerable property At the time of her elopement she was living with her sister, Mrs. Lazarus. Brana is manager of a Ladoga poultry house and is regarded as a sober, induetaious man."

LUCY.

How softly steals the golden hours Of life's-embrace, And leaves to us an empty past

That we may trace With moistened eyes to sadly weep All our part That leave to us when all is told

A broken heart.

Thus wings our silent life away, And all is o'er An aching void is left at !ist

And nothing more, And nothing of life is left to us When we have fled Except it be a friend who drops a rose

Above the dead,

Thus the golden cords of life Faded in a day, Like the tide upon the ocean

Not to stay The soft sunlight had no charms, And the moon Was silent when they laid her

In the tomb.

Oh, what is life to us all •t. But a dream, Or'the frail boat that carries us

Down the Btream, To meet some friend of ours Who long ago, v" In winter's cold and stormy blast,

Was laid beneath the enow. Black Creek. —D. S. M.
