A Crawfordsville Business Man Gets Into Serious Trouble at Linden.

Sunday afternoon two sporty gents, in a "one-horse shay," pulled up at the Linden livery and feed barn, which they exchanged for the finest barough in the barn. The drummer boarded the 3 o'clock east bound Clover Leaf train, while the Orawfordvillian proceeded to the residence of a grass widow, getting the widow and her married sister (leaving the baby at home, of course,) then drove post haste to Kirkpatirick, where "drunnnie" met the trio.

The quartettn then went to Clark's Hill for supp.-r, arriving home about 8 p. in. Meanwhile the hubby had got tired of minding baby and'started to investigate and learned thai his wife was haviog "tiigh old jinks."

War was at once declared and pickets posted to us to command a view of the returning recalcirents. The hubby armed himself with a couple of "barkers" while a brother secured a darnick. At the first volley the enemy broke cover and fled for life, the C'vilhan getting the full force of a darnick in the region of the lumber vertebre, but by lashing the bronchos be and his dulcina escaped to the confines of New Richmond and the hospitable arms of the Black Bear where they remained till Monday morning. The drummer escaped to the beer vaults of the Hotel Linden where he remained till rescued by friends at 7 a. m., Monday. The outraged husband swears vengence on the despoiler of his home.

All the parties connected with this latest of Linden's sensational escapades are too well known for us to parade their names before the public.—New Richmond Enterprise. ...

A Liberal Donation.

For several months a number of ladies have been aiming to secure by donation enough books to secure a circulating library. They have not met with the B'icceBB that the object is worthy of, and up to this week had secured but about 150 volumes. V. Q. Irvin, learning of the undertaking and favoring it, at once determined to give the enterprise a boost, and on Tuesday gave to the ladies nearly 150 volumes of well bound books of a standard and substantial character, among them being Irving's "Life of Washington," and other historical worke. The donation was gladly welcomed by the ladies who have the books in rooms over Barnhill, Horoaday A Pickett's store.

AFTER 33 YEARS.

A War Comrade Calls to Visit James Boots, mj"

Old acquaintances, faces once familiar to ue, often appear unexpectedly when forgotten or at least rarely thoughf of. James Boots had a former soldier comrade come to his house this week, whom he had not seen for over 33 year*. His name was Charles Edwards and at the age of 15 he joined the 20th Indiana battery of which Boots was a member. At the close of the war Edwards strayed out west to Iowa, married and settled himself for life as he supposed. Alter a few years his wife died, his family was broken up and he went to Arkansas to reside. About eight years ago he went to St. Louie, and became a skilled hospital nurse. He was transferred from there to the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, Ohio, where, at a good salary, he at present remains. A few weeks ago he secured a short furlough for rest and recreation and went for a short visit to some points on the Mississippi river. Last week he determined to return to Dayton, and at Peoria, III., thought it would be good, wholesoir.e exercise to walk the entire distance, about 250 miles, to Dayton, although having plenty of funds to pay car fare. He acted on this determination, and taking the Big Four line east had been about a week on his journey when he reached Crawfordsville. AtTroutman'B station in conversation with a man he learned that a middle-aged man named Jim Boots, who had been a soldier resided here. "That name is familiar" said he. "I soldiered with a man by that name from Indiana and I will hunt him up when I reach town." He did. He found Mr. Boots' house, told his name, and after a few seconds each recognized the other. War stories were gone over rapidly, and the career of the battery repeated. Neither had met nor heard of each other until now. The meeting partook of the utmost cordiality and good cheer. After a rest of two or three hours, in Bpite of protestations on the part of Boots, Edwards started on eastward bound afoot. Although importuned to linger for a day or more he refused, saying that he must make six or seven more miles before halting for the night.

Smith for the Short Term. At a meeting of the republican cen tral committee Wednesday night, R. C. Smith was given the race for the short mayorality term. This is the term between May and September which the republicans claim is unprovided for, ae Mr. Stilwell was only elected to serve until the first general election. On the other hand Mr. Stilwell contends that he was appointed to fill out all Mr. Handel's term, which does not expire until September, and says he will not give up the office without a struggle. Mr. Smith was ingloriouely turned down by the republicans in the convention in March and this race is only given him to appease a "disgruntled element," as on* prominent republican said.

WAR IS CERTAIN.

It Is Doubtful Now Whether Any

Diplomacy Can Divert War.

Up to this time war has yet been declared between Spain and this country. although indications are very strong within the past few days that it will not be delayed much longer—perhaps but a few hours. The message of President McKinley, relating to the difficulties between the two countries, to Congress has been generally unfavorably received generally by leaders of both parties in Congress, they looking upon it merely as an advocate for peace or arbitration. In the meantime preparations for naval warfare are going on, ships being prepared and fortifications strengthened. Spain seems as determined as ever in the stand takeD by her, and is preparing likewise for the contest. If there is war it would seem that the opening would begin on the south Atlantic cbast in the region of Havana.

WANTS $5,000.

Albert Hurt, of Ladoga, Wants His Persecutors to Cough Up Their Cash.

Asa sequel to the celebrated Ladoga graveyard fence case, Albert Hurt, on Monday last filed suit in the Uircuit Court against Smith MHIB, Lida lalbot. John Byrd, Matt Sharp and Wm. Utterback, asking for damages in the sum of $5,000. The complaint is a lengthy one and recites the' many woes of the plaintiff in truly affecting terms. The complaint alleges that some months ago the defendants maliciously circulated the report that he had been guilty of desecrating a graveyard by removing therefrom a certain iron fence and that they finally caused his arrest on this chaige, well knowing at the time that the plaintiff was not guilty. They were finally forced, so the complaint says, to abandon the case and to cause its dismissal. The plaintiff asserts that the prosecution caused him great pain and humiliation and he therefore asks damages in the sum named.

Peddlers' Ordinance Repealed. At a meeting of the city council Monday night Councilman Nolan introduced a resolution to repeal the famous peddlers' ordinance. After considerable discussion a vote was taken. Smith, Nolan and Hutton voting for the repeal and Wilhite, Hutchings and McCampbell against it. Mayor Stilwell cast his vote with the democrats and the peddling ordinance was knocked in the head. This ordinance was framed by the Bujiness Men's Association about a year ago, and was known as a prohibitive ordinance that would prohibit. It bad not been in force long however until claims of partisanship were made against the authorities and that people from abroad, for whom the ordinance was especially made to bar out, were let in, whils the home people were deprived from gaining a legitimate livelihood. The repealing of the ordinance meets with general approval.

BY THE RAZOR ROUTE.

Ben Barr Makes a Successful Effort

to Shuffle Off This riortal

Coil.

Tired of life and worn out b3' sickness and suffering, Ben Barr made a successful effort to end his earthly career by cutting his throat with a razor Monday morning about 8 o'clock, at the home of hiB neice, Mrs. i'oungblood, in the Valley just beyond the Sperry bridge. For the past two years Mr. Barr has been a constant sufferer from dropsy and heart disease, and for the paet few months has been obliged to lemain propped up in a chair. Whes Mrs. Youngblood was absent from the house Monday morning he askbd a little girl to hand him his razor, that he wanted to shave. The child did as requested and then left the room. Mr. Barr immediately opened the blade and gave himself three ugly cuts acrosB the throat but failed to cut deep enough to sever the jugular vein. The blood pushed forth in a stream, and thinkiog he had succeeded in his work he called lustily for Mre. Youugblood, who came rushing in to find him bathed in blood. Dr. Ensminger and James Barr, a brother, were hastily summoned and every attention rrae given. Mr. Barr lingered until ten o'clock Monday night when death relieved him of his bufferings. The deceased was born in Lancaster county, Pa., Nov. 14, 1830, and came to this city with his parents when but eight years of age. He baa seen Crawfordsville grow from a village of log houses to a thriving city, and was ever numbered among itB beat citizens. The funeral occurred Wednesdayjmorning at 10 o'clock, Rev. R. D. Trick officiating. Interment at Oak Hill.

Wanted to Be Army Surgeon. Speaking of Dr. T. F. Leech, who until recently was a resident of this city, the Bloomington Telephone says: "Dr. T. F. Leech, of this city, ia entitled to the credit of being the firet man in Bloomington whose services have been refused in case of war with Spain. Seeing a statement that there was a great need of surgeons in the navy, he wrote offering his services. His record in the late war as assistant Burgeon in the voluntary navy, which

in Washington, was examined and Bhowed that he bad been honorably discharged October 10, 1865. It also showed that he was now fifty-seven years of age, ana as the bureau waa of the opinion that younger men should be selected, his services were refused and he received a letter recently telling hi«n of the fact."

Cheadle Nominated.

The populist of the Ninth congress, ional district met in Frankfort Tuesday and nominated J. B. Cheadle for congress. lie was opposed by A. G. Burkhart of Tipton, who received forty-five votes. Cheadle received fifty-eight. A strong fight was made by the friends of each of the candidates and the convention waa a spirited one. Montgomery county cast her vote solid'y for Burkhart, while Cheadle received but four of' the seventeen votes from Clinton coun. ty. Clinton county placed Burkhart in nomination, and there was much' feeling. During a speech by a Tipton delegate, seconding the Burkhart nomination, he declared that many democrats in tho district would not support

Cheadle because he had once boasted that he had spent four years of his life shooting democrats.
