A Lucky Escape.

Mrs. Ida Havercamp, of near New Market, had a thrilling experience ith a runaway horse Monday morning while driving into town, her horee took fright near the Masonic cemetery and ran off. It dashed down the long cemetery hill, across the drv branch bridge, and over the picket fence into James Boots' dooryard, all the time the lady holding on to the linos for dear life. The buggy was literally|torn to pieceB but, strange to say Mr6. Havercamp escaped without a scratch.

An Error.

In a review of the life of the late Isaac F. Wade, the old time newspaper publisher, the fo'lowing among other matters waB published:

One of Mr. Wade's daughters married A. P. Luse, the well known Chicago type founder, who, while a student of Wabash college, learned the printer's trade in the Record office.

A. P. Lnse never learned the printer's trade in the Crawfordsville Record office, but in the office of the Indianapolis Sentinel, beginning as an apprentice in 1848.

At Los Vigas, N. M.

Joe Mieh, the well known brick manu-, facturer, left last week for Los Vigas, New Mexico, where he will reside.

JOHN T. SMALLEY

Has a Bad Uncle According to His Affidavit.

A peculiar case developed at Greencastle, on Saturday when John T. Smalley, of Ladoga, visited that city on the hunt of a stolen horse and bugggy. He had about given up the search, but finally discovered his property at a hitching rack. Smalley went before a Justice and made affidavit that his uncle, Riley D. Smalley, had stolen the rig from him. it had been sold to a farmer in|thatcity. Uncle Riley has disappeared.

The uncle has not heretofore been accused of any crookedness, andjhis action in this matter, if priveu true, surprises his acquaintances.

Indiana In Case of War. In case war is declared and Indiana is called on for troops the state is in excellent financial condition for such an emergency. It would not be necessary to call a special session of the legislature. Governor Mount says that, as he understands the situation, all money not otherwise appropriated will be available for a war emergency. In June, if no emergency arises, Lhere will be in the state treasury about 8400,000, which will be applied on the state debt. Of this amount 6100,000 goes into the sinking fund, sacred to that purpose and could not be drawn on.

Notwithstanding there would be available a sum large enough to meet emergencies for some time to come. But even if the available funds were exhausted the governor does not think it would be necessary to call a special session of the legislature, as he is of the opinion the state executive has right to borrow money if that is deemed more expedient than to call the legislature together

Liquor Case at Clark's Hill. John Shannon, of Clark's Hill, Tippenoe county, was acquitted ty a jury Saturday nigbt of a charge of perjury. The case was the outgrowth of an effort to Becure a license to retail liquors in that quiet little town, and the application was fought so bitterly as to establish numerous enmities. The perjury charge was made before the gra?d jury and excited no end of talk in that part of the county. A large number of witnesses were in attendance at the trial. The feeling in the community is such that the end cannot be predicted.

Judge Davis For Congress. "The Hon. Theo. P. Davis, of Hamilton county, is being urged by his many friends to become a candidate for the nomination for Congress from the Ninth district on the Democratic ticket and the Pioneer is assured that while he will probably not go before the convention seeking the nomination, ne will accept it if tendered to him. Judge Davis, besides being one of the most popular Democrats of the district, is a man of unquestioned ability."—Lebanon Pioneer.

Republican County Convention. At a meeting of the republican county central committee last Saturday, it was decided to hold the county nominating convention in this city on Saturday, June 11. It was further ordered that the different townships meet on Saturday, May 28, and select delegates to the county and State conventions. The representation in the county convention was fixed as follows: Coal Creek, 9 Wayne, 7 Ripley 6 Brown, 13 Scott, 5 Clark 12 Walnut, 12 Franklin, 14 Sugar Creek 7 Madison, 8 Union, 80.

Continually Going Down.

Reports from the bedside of Mr. T. H. B. McCain, of the Journal, who has been confined to his room for nearly two months, are that he is gradually sinking, is unable to retain any food, is very weak, and it is feared can live but a few days longer. A committee from the G, A. R. post visits the home of Mr. McCain regularly, and tbe members of it entertain no hope whatever of his recovery.

The Glee Club Catches On. A Fort Wayne paper says: "The Wabash College Glee Club made its appearance in the city last evening at West Minister Presbyterian church. The club, '.though small, showed some excellent features in their work both as a glee club and in the mandolin club. The Glee club contains several fine voices as was demonstrated in the singing of Messrs. Meek, Bartholomew and Crockett. Mr. Cox played an arrangement by Listz of a familiar air from Rossini's Stabat Mater, very acceptably. The Glee club made a hit in their medley and the mandolin number, "Queen of the Isle" waltz, was especially good. After the concert a reception was given to the club by the '.ladies' Eociety of the church."

LETTER FROM ARIZONA.

Mr. W. w. Ewing Tells of His Journey to that Far Western

Territory.

WHITE RIVEU, ARIZONA March 81,1898.

EDITOR REVIEW:— Agreeable to promise write something about my trip to this place. Leaving Crawfordsville March 15th in company with Frank Barnhill, the next morning found us in Kansas City.

Leaving we continued across Kansas into Colorado. At La Junta we turned southward. Pike's Peak was viable in the northwest, distance about 90 miles, also the Twin Sisters. Spanish Peaks, further to the south. Passing the mining town of Trinidad we began tka ascent of Raton Pass. With two locomotives we wound slowly up the torturous ascent. Fifteen miles from Trididad the tunnel was reached. The track follows the old Santa Fe trail which is said to be one of the most ancient human pathways on the continent of America. About fifty feet from the entrance of the tunnel stands the boundary post between Colorado and New Mexico.

Going by many places of interest, at Bernal Pass twenty miles below Las Vestas, we had a very good view of Starvation Peak, of which there are two legends as to the origin of its name. Near Rowe may be seen the Pecos ruin which was a church supposed to have be0n built by the Friars about the year 1540.

From Lamy runs a branch road eighteen miles to SantaFee.the New Mexican capital. From Wallace we followed the Rio Grande to Albuquerque, the largest town in New Mexico. From Albuquerque our journey was made after night, but having passed over the road from' the west on a former occasion I remember the Indian maidens of the Pueblos, who at almost every station were offering specimens of pottery for sale. I procured a small cup on my former journey which as a memento is worth the price paid, but as a specimen of pottery was quite inferior. At the town of Gallup the train came to an abrupt s.op and we soon found the engine, mail car and two express cars off the track in rather a promiscuous heap, but fortunately no one badly injured. This wreck delayed us twelve hours and we did not reach Hallrook until 5:30 p. m. Friday, and caused a delay of ?4 hours in reaching our destination. Holbrook is a live little town, the county seat of Navajo county, Ariz. They are preparing to build a court house and jail, the latter badly needed at present from the number of cattle thieves brought to the place. Among the prisoners there was a Navajo Indian who had murdered one of the Sequoi Indians.

Near Holbrook are the petrified forests and many other places of interest. We left there at 3 p. m. Saturday for an overland trip of 90 miles. Passing near Woodruff Butte on which there are a number of pre-historic ruins, we were at the Mormon town of Snowfiake by 11.30 p.m. where, after a change of horses, our journey was continued by way of Taylor to the next change, a place called Fool's Hollow, which was reached by 5 a. m. Sunday. Continuing by way of Showlow, Pinetop, Cooley's* Ranch, the Ust of which Mr. Cooley informed us is 7,600 feet above sea level we began the descent of the mountain and reached this place at 5:30 p. m. and on the next day, Monday, March 21, I began my work as teacher of the young Apaches, of which I promise you more in the future. 1

W. W. EWINO.

Those who have seen the rehearsals say that the "Inshavogue" will be the best home talent production ever given on Music Hall stage.

The Clinton county populists have declined to fuse with the democracy on county affairs, and will meet on the 12th inst. to select congressional candidates.

Natural gas has been discovered on the farm of Thos. B. Cloyd, one and one half r.nles south of Crane, Tippecanoe county. This well sunk is sixty-five feet deep, aud its flow of gas is thought to be permanent.

The Clinton county Populists nom inated a full county ticket at Frankfort last Saturday. They refused to entertain a fusing proposition and in consequonce put up a streight ticket of their own stripe.
