LUCKY BALDWIN'S LUCK
Seems To Have Deserted Him -Will
Not Die in the Poor House.
"Lucky" Baldwin is no louger lucky. He can raise roailv cash. He hits ent\ of real estate—whole
Equate
miles of line land exists anywhere, but nobody wants to buy, and so he remains poor. At one time, with his mines, his ranches and other interests, ho was worth S.'i ',000,000 That was long- ago, but even twelve or thirteen years ago he was very rich and lord of the vast and beautiful estate in the San Gabriel Valley, near Los Angeles. Along in 1803 it became known that Mr. Baldwin was in need of 111 mey and presently he began to sell pieces here and there of his grand estates in California. "Lucky" was not living up to hiB name. To-day the owner of land enough for a small priciptl.ty, he tinds trouble in laying his hand on a 8100 bill. Mr. Baldwin has been living in San Francisco pret rjgularly for the past three \ears. He is now 70 years old and is showing his ago. He is by no means the picturesque man ho was when his Volante was king of the turf. But '•Lucky" is a pretty good man yet, men if ho Is losing his millions. Among all tne shrewd wise men who became bonanza kings and millenaries in the brisk dave of California there was none shrewder or wiser than Baldwin. He has played many parts in his ti-ce and played all well, lie has been a canal boatman, grocery man, hotel keeper, brick maker, liveryman, theatrical manager, turfmani mining operator, farmer and always a speculator. He has been able to manage and direct live or six big businesses, from a magnificent stable of raw? horses to a gold mine, hotel, ranch wintry, vmyards and a brickyard. He may not leave as many millions behind him as he might once have left, but there is hardly any danger of hiB going to the poor house.—Chicago llerald.
Disbandmcnt of Volunteer Troops.
A Washington war department special
hays:
"Ihus far the question of the
dibbaudment of the volunteer army has not been given serious consideration In th
(i
war ollicials. A considerable
force necessary will have to be maintained for several months, perhaps a year. Jn the opinion of the war department ollii ial& thib force will bo about 000 men. It will be k?pt in Cuba, Porto I{.ico ami the l'lulippines, principally. although a lew troops will be stationed a'uong the various forts this country. How the army will bo disbanded lias not been determined. It is likely that, tho volunteer troops now in Porto Kico, or, rather, so many of them as may not bo needed there, will be brought back to the United States aud then furloughed lrom tho camps of mobilization pending their actual discharge from th® service of the United States. It is probable that this method of disbanding the army will bo followed in tho case of all tho volunteer troops. At present it seems unlikely that the strength of the United States iorces will be materially weakened pending the results of tho peace commission." ''Orders have been issued for the departure of trorps from San Francisco to the Philippines, and it is said at the war department that those orders will not be revoked on account of tho suspension ot hostilities."
A Proper Law.
A groat many farmors are not aware of tho fact that there is a law on the statute books of Indiana ordering them to cut all weeds, briers, otc., growing on the roadside so far as their farm extends. The law was passed by tho last legislature and allows S1.23 per day for such work and it the land owner does not perform this work between tho 1st of July and the 20th of August, tho road supervisor may employ any other person to perforin the work and pay him at the rate of §1.25 for each day's work.
Crowded Coaches.
There were eight coaches in the excursion train for Chicago on Sunday morning, and they wero entirely too ciowded for comfort of passengers, scores being compelled to stand up most of the time. The Monon on its Chicago dollar excursions should see that every passenger is provided with a seat. There was much growling at the crowded condition of the care and many intent on going abandoned tho trip on seeing the condition of affairs.
The Ringling Show.
Report has it that the Iiingling show will visit Crawfordsville, Sept 7th. Those who have seen it report it to be the largest and best in the United States. If coming as reported, on the 7th, it will to some extent injure thef cash receipts of the fair association, as 1 the fair is held the Bame week. 1
COMES HKlll.
War is an Expensive Luxury Indi
ana Presents Claims Amount
ing to $300,000.
The lust of the week "Auditor of State Daily will forward to| Washington verified claims against the United Stales government on account of the mobilization of Indiana volunteers' Deputy Auditor Hart yesterday was unable to give in detail the amount ol' claims, but t.hey will aggregate about $3 0,000, includiug S12.j,000 pay rolls, equipments, transportation and other items bringing the total up to about tho amount named. As the claims were all paid out of the general funds of the state, an effort will be made to have the treasury department consider them as special claims, By this method it is hoped that tne state will be reimbursed in a very short time, six weeks ts two months.—Indianapolis News.
Rev. Dr. S. V, Leech.
clip from an Atchison (Kas.'l paper the following concerning improvements in the M. E. church there, of which flev. Dr. ech, formerly of this city, is pastor: ew of our citizens know how elaborate and extensive are the repairs and renovation of the Kansas Avenup M. E. church, Rev. Dr. Leech, pastor, Recently the congregation paid nearly 6200 for street paving. A month ago nearly .s.JOO was expended for a new roof and other work connected with the same. The ladies of the church began the ieno\ationof the interior only iwo weeks ago. The carpets and pews were removed from tho auditorium. The pows have been finished in hard oil. 1'lie ceiling, walls ami cove of the auditorium have been elegantly papered in gn-en and gilt. The chandelier ceiling ornaments lia\e been repainted in fancy colors. All of the wainscoting, doors, windows and wood work have been repainted. Ihe upper and lower vestibules, walls, railing etc., are already under the painters' brush. The
class ro.nus are too beautifully repapered and the outer front doors are to have three coats of fresh paint-
Fountain County Pops.
The Populists of Fountain county met at Veedereburg last .Saturday for the purpose of selecting a new central committee and to arrange for the putting a county ticket in the tield. The central committee was organized by electing Allen W. Helms, chairmanand Frank Verkcs, secretary. The question ot putting a county ticket in the lield was discussed at some length but was finally left, so wo are informed, to tho discretion of the central committee to be determined later. Bv a unanim us vote of the convention a vacancy was declared to exist on their congressional ticket and it was further determined that Burkhardt. of Tipton county, be cho=en to (ill the place.
Dunn will Rebuild.
Starr Dunn expects to begin at once tho erection of a new two-story 21xV2 foot brick building
011
tho site of his
old tin shop building which was destroyed by the late lire. It is probable that the brick will begin to arrive in a few days and the building will be pushed to completion. The lower story will be occupied by Mr. Dunn's store and tin shop the rooms above to lie used as his residence.—New Richmond He. cord. -'it-
A Big Ditch.
The people down about Romncy are about to have their hopes of a ditch realized. Ihe viewers on what is known as the Romney Stock Farm Ditch reported last Wednesday, and the preliminary steps have been taken, The main ditch is 2-1,191 feet long, with a branch of 4,-tiO feet. A large number of property owners are interested in tho proposed ditch—Lafayette Leader.
The Wreck Investigation.
The crews of tho two trains colliding at Waveland have been reinstated pending a further investigation by tho higher officials. It is said tho evidence secured in the preliminary trial was not at all decisive and it will bo turned over to the highest court for use in the more searching investigation which will tallow. Conductor Fred Ross made a trip yesterday, hia first on0 since tho wreck. Brakeman Donovan was also reinstated. The suspension has been removed from both Engineer Bairsdorf and Fireman Wittig, who are steadily recovering from their injuries in St. Anthony's hospital.—Terre Haute Express.
Encouraging for Billy.
Wm.Colman, of Crawfordsville, will soon move his tailor shop to Waveland. Billy will be welcomed with open arm? ton hospitable grave. We know of no better location for a good tailor to starve to death.—Waveland Independent, 7'
