FERTILE FAME.

Montgomery County, Ind., Which

Has Produced More Than ltd Av­

erage of Famous flen.

[From Tho Indinnian.]

Montgomery county brings more than her share of laurels to the State of Indiana.

It has furnished two Governors—Colonel Henry S. Lane and James A. Mount lieutenant govornor, Mahlon Man6on senators Joseph McDonald and Colonel Henry S. Lane foreign ministers, James Wilson to Venezuela, Charles Travis to Para, Brazil, Gen. Lew Wallace to Turkey, Bayless Hanna Rio de Janoiero, Brazil United States Representatives, James Wilson, M. D. White. Mahlon Manson, and Voorhees lirookshire State ^senators, Peter S. Kennedy, Theodore Ristine, James Sellars, James A. Mount and others and of State representatives her full quota.

In the promotion of the Centennial Exposition Professor John L. Campbell, of Montgomery county, was one of the lenders in general committee work, as well as being secretary of same.

In literary fields, Montgomery county has no apologies to offer, as a glance at the following list will illustrate:

There is, first of all, Gen Lew Wallace, whose Ben Hur, Fair God and Prince of India, hold prominent positions in the front ranks of the world's noblest literay efforts. Mrs. General Wallace has also written many books of rare merit. Maurice Thompson is an author of high class ability, besides several books of popalarity, having written frequently and interestingly for the best monthly and weekly publications.

Mrs. Mattie Dyer Britts, of Montgomery county has penned and published a dozen or more Sundy &chool books, none being of less than 200 pages in volume, besides writing almost continuously for Sunday school papers. Miss Mary H. Krout, known as a journalistic star and traveler of wide range, was also raised in Crawfordsville Perhaps no other woman in Indiana has opened for herself the way to fame by her extensive travel work as haB Miss Krout. Montgomery county has many others who have attained prominence in the world of science and literature, besides which it is possessed of a surfeit of beautiful scenery, the most famous crinoide beds the United States and a system of perfectly improved country roads, which make grand old Montgomery county a regular mecoa for driving and cyling.

Verily, here is a county of which the State taay well be, and is, proud, productive ot soil and fertile in fame. May her citizens ever enjoy the prosperity which ha always been theirs,

A Valuable Book.

F. Hoffman, City Civil Engineer, has just completed a new atlas of Montgomery county, with complete maps of each town sad towship, giving the size of the lots, size£ of farms, names of owners, location of houses and appraised values. Also the location of the roads, gravel roads being indicated as gravel roads.

It also contains maps of Indiana, United States and world. And also contains complete gravel road map of the county, giving in all about 1,000 miles of roads, of which about 500 miles are graveled.

The atlas also contains Valuable statistics, and treatises on surveying civil engineering and civil government.

The book is neat and handsomely bound and is complete in every respect. Ae to accuracy, those who have examined it carefully pronounce it above the average.

Not as Popular as Ben Hur. General Lew Wallace's McClellan story is not receiving as great praise as did Ben Hur. People be'ieve a portion of Ben Hur they don't seem to take any stock whatever in the McClellan story. Already an excited member of the army of the Potomac, who served under "Little Mac," and thinks he was a great man, has challenged Lew Wallace to meet him on the field of honor. Of course the general will notgrant him the request. He might be killed and then there would be no more post war Biories to be related by him a third of a century after the death of those who could verify or dispute his statement.--Lafayette Leader.

Missing Oscar Stingley. Oscar Stingley, for many years a resident of Madisontownehip, is among tho missing. He loft the county near two months ago for Il'ot 'Springs, Ark. A correspondent of the rndiaQapolis News: says: "He ha9 been in fcmr health for some time, and started for tlie resort mentioned in the hope of regaining it. Stingley failed to reach Hot Springs. He has been traced as far West as Kansas City, where he stopped for severe! days. It is not known where he went from there, however, and his wife and brothers believe that he has met with foul play."

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1898..

Amendments Suggested to the President's Message. ED. REVIEW:— ••...v fh« work of the extra session, whicti closed July last, has not thus thus far realized the expectation of its friends. The certainty of higher rates of duty stimulated imports for some months previous to the passage of the tariff so that a deficient of over 40 millions is the result of the first four months of its operations.

This to some extent is duo to forced nuportb under the law of 1894, popularly known as the Wilson law, but not altogether. If the increased imports during the last four months of the law of 1894 had paid the rate of duties levied under the present law, the amount would still be less than the deficit.

With our greatly "increased annual expenditures, we may be forced to accept it as a fact that no tariff,^whether high or low or moderate will supply our needed revenue.

A specific tariff in 1890, on a given article, would yield thirty per cent, while the same article with the same specific duty in 1897 would yield 60 per cent probably make the tax prohibitory by reason of reduced cost of production. The tariff on tin plates, 82.10 per pound under the law of 1890, was but little in excess of the rate, 81.10 cents per pound under the law of 1894, as the cost of producing tin has been greatlyJleBsened, and so on of a great many articles.

We might increase our revenues thirty-five millions a year by a tax of ten dollars on each barrel of beer. This would not be an excessive tax when we consider that a barrel of whiskey pays about thirty-five dollars.

We might also lessen the need of revenue by reducing salaries in excess of five hundred dollars a year to the amount of ten per cent. Salaries were greatly increased soon after the war on account of the increased cost of living.

We might very properly reduce them now on account of the reduced cost of living.

To reduce salaries would be a sound measure of economy without reference to the revenue.

It is hoped that in a few years we shall export sugar. If our hopes are realized we shall cut off one third of our revenue under the bar.

Our main relianoe in the near future aa the moat important and greatest source of revenue will be an iocome tax.

An income tax such aa we had at the close of the war would yield more than two fifths of the revenue needed,

To overcome the opposition of the Supreme court we would have to create circuits and appoint judges favorable to a construction of the constitution that would sustain an income law. It was by the appointment ot new judges during Gen. Grant's administration that the legal tender acts were sustained QB the constitutionality of the income tax.

Foster's /larch Weather. "A regular storm period is central on the the 2nd, and will briag rain and snow to various sections from the 2nd to the 5tk. Tho barometer indicates the oncoming of storms, and as they pass east of any locality^ higher barometer and cold \*est winds will s»t in. Cen tral on the 7th add 8th fall a reactionary period of storm and change. The barometer wili fall and warm vtfnds from the south will usher in storms of thunder and rain about the 7th to 9thIn the north the rain will turn to snow and a cold wave with high barometer will rush down from the northwest. This period will be affected by many causes and like other periods this month will bring storms to land and a From the 11th to the 15th runs another regular storm period, in which storms of much violence are to be anticipated, Venus, Mercury, Vulcan, Earth and Moon are involved. Prom the 17th to 21st falls a very decided period of reactionary storms. Rain, thunder, sleet, snow and wind may be expected. Prom the 24th to the the 27th falls a marked storm period. It will be wise to provide- shelt and refuge for man and beast against all these equinoctial perturbations. March ends in a reactionary 6torm period..

The Old Ltdy Wu Falling. The maiden aunt of a San Francisco official has gradually cultivated a fondness I or sensationalf3m until a love of reading horrible descriptions in the newspapers and marbid Imaginings in books has gained a complete ascendency over her. An old friend of the family inquired a few days ago of the nephew concerning the health of his aunt. "We are rather anxious about her, was the perfectly serious reply. "She is not exactly ailing, but Ber spirits seem depressed. She does not. seem to be enjoying her murders and lynchlngs as much as usual!"

The Ketort Beady.

A bustling a« ent for a patent churn invaded the office of a busy merchant one day and proceeded to deliver his lecture. "One moment, please," Bald the merchant. "May I ask to whom I am indebted for this visit?" The caller prodnced his card. It contained the inscription: "Barton Zebulon Day Agent for Cosmopolitan Novelty Company." The man of business studied the card a moment. Then he looked up. "I am honored by your call, Mr. Barton Zebulon Day," he said, with a genial smile, "but this is also my B. Z. Day. Good day!"

Flamas Drowned la Milk.

Two hundred and forty quarts ot milk saved the home of Parmer Geo I. Piatt at Milford, Conn., from destruction by fire. Piatt runs a dairy and keeps sixty cows. Saturday night's milk was stored in the barn. The farm-house was newly shingled Saturday and the old shingles had been put in the cellar, where, on Saturday also, a servant put some hot ashes. At 8 o'clock Sunday morning the shingles eaught fire. The well curb was broken and there was no water available, so the farm hands threw milk by the gallon on the Are. The last quart extinguished the last spark.

Frail Flavors From Leave*. Monsieur Jacquemin, a French

pharmacist, lias invented a process by which, he says, he can form, from the leaves of various fruit bearing trees and shrubs, the flowers that are characteristic of the fruits themselves. From apple tree leaves, crushed and fermented, he obtains a liquid possessing the fragrance and taste of apples, and from vine leaves a beverage resembling wine. His theory is that the peculiar flavor of apples, pears, grapes and berries is prepared in, and derived from, the leaves of the plant.

JUDGE ADJOURNED COURT.

Broke a Ckalr Over the Offender*. Head Then Resumed His Place. Judge Wilson Hammock, who died at Lebanon, Tenn.. last February was among the most gifted men the state iver produced, says the Glasgow (Ky) News. Unfortunately he becaine involved in a quarrel during his earlv manhood and took the life of a fellowman. Although exonerated by the jury, the intimate friends of the judge are inclined to the belief that his future life was, in a measure, controlled by his early misfortune. However If a man ever lived who enjoyed a flght that man was Judge Hammocii. Ha bo^e no malice and no marks when an affray was ended, but a fellow In search of trouble never went begging when the Judge was in the community, and the same man never went in search the second time. During his term as circuit judge of the Hartsville district a wanton insult was given him by an attorney at the bar. in an orderly and quiet way Judge Hammock ordered the sheriff to adjourn court for two minutes. Then, walking outside the rostrum, he picked up a chair and shattered it to pieces over the offender's head. "Call the ceurt to order." said he to the officer, and, resuming his place on the bench remarked:

G«ntlemen, when any one cares to insult this court let nothing prevent."'

A Wagner Anecdote.

This Wagner anecdote Is related in a Vienna paper by M. von Meysenburg. who heard it from Wagner himnaif, At the time when Wagner was at worlc on "Lohengrin" one of his intimate friends in Dresden was the Russian Bakunin, a nihilist, who was suhse* quently confined in an Austrian prison and finally handed over to the Russian authorities and exiled to Siberia. By him Wagner was infected with much of that revolutionary spirit which led to his own twelve yean* exile. The events of 1848 had raised to the point of ecstatic fanaticism Bakunin's hopes of a general overturn of politics and society. One day, shortly before the uprising in Dresden. Wagner invited him to a rehearsal #f Beethoven's ninth symphony. Being very fond of music, he acoepted. After the performance he stepped up to Wagner at the conductor's desk and said: "Look here when we aftnihilata everything, we shall have to make an exception of the score of the ninth symphony 1"—-Exchange.

11 may require as much imagination to draw pleasure out of an unspent dollar as it does to get it from an unsmelt flower, or an unklssed love, or any of the unexlsting realities that poets deal in, says H. G. Chapman in the Atlantic. Many a laborious and escetlc financier must live in a world of Imagination, a commercial dream, as little tangible as that of the poet. "My food and lodging are all I get for my wealth," Bald the e^der Rothschild. He was mistaken he forgot his dream of wealth. He, too, was one of the poet# of a, financial age.
