and the amount due today, the last in- I

stalinieiit, was JUO,000.

Pork und lard were the cause of John Cudiiliy undoing, and they have also been the means ol restoring to him the fortune which he temporarily lost.

Ihe ilea! which wrecked Jhini was be gun in 1S92, at which time he was estimated to be worth more that 8-1,000,000.

Ills fortune began to toiter when, early in August, 1W3. Chicago banks began to fail and business men found it almost impossible to borrow money on any kind of security.

Within twentv-four hours pork declined fiom 618.To to S10 50 a barrel, and something like 80,000,000 found a rapid exit from Mr. Cudahy's pocket. In one day's trading lard declined from 510.5( to 5 .!K). Mr. Cudahy's failure was absolute.

For a while after the collapse of the great laid oeal Mr. (Judahy did htt'o r-r nothing in the way of gathering lip the ragged ends of hi.^ alTairs, devoting most of his tm.e to getting on his feet phyt-ic-ally, the strain of the long-continue deal and its unfortunate ending having been greater than e\en his rugged constitution could withstand.

But the loss even of 80,000,000 could not km John (Judahy down. He gathered his creditors around him and made a proposition which was accepted without (]iiestioii. This was to pay 50 per cent, of his obligations in cash, and of the remainder one-quarter in two years, one quarter in three years and one-half in five years. llis creditors were among the men with whom he had done business for many years, and all lully believed he would do what he promised. Confidence in him and in his j-ecuperativc powers was unbounded.

To-day Mr. C.idahv is rich again. He has woiked quietly, making no spectacular plays in a speculative way, but all the time he has been a steady money maker. At the tune of the explosion in Havana Harbor ho saw a prospective drop in stock values and sold steadily.

Will Enforce the Law.

To the trustees and school directors of Montgomery county:—I wish to call your attention to the fact that it will toon be time for the commencement of schools in most of the school houses in the county and 1 desire that each and every school house in the county, together with the grounds and vaults of same, be put in the very best sanitary condition possible and to that end I would respectfully request each directoy to see to it that the weeds are cut and burned, and the grounds around each building thoroughly cleaned, and that desks that have been marred shall bo revarnished and the house scrubbed, ventilated and if necessary disinfected also that the waste water be disposed ol' in such away as no to become stagnant near said house, and that fountains and buckets be will supplied with small cups for drinking. I also request that each director insists on the use of sterilizing pencils each day, can assure them this matter will be looked after during the coming school term, and teachers whi ignore the rules as laid down by the state board of health may expect that the penalty will follow. 1 also especially desire that tho vaults be cleaned out and thoroughly disinfected before tho opening of school. 1 would be glad to see each and every director of schools in the county before the schools open that wo may bo the better able to understand and carry out the sanitary rules governing the same.

The trustees and directors will meet me at my oflice for consultation Saturday morning, Aug. 27, at 10 o'clock.

Respectfully, E. W. KEEOAX, M. D..

From tho 10th to 2'id, falls a period of reactionary storm conditions. A general low barometer, developing in extreme west and eastward, attended by great heat and breaking into active storms ol thunder, rain and wind, will be the natural order from about Monday tho 10th to Thursday, -J'J.l. From the 121th to the end of September, many equinoctial disturbances will be natural. Look for very hot weather, south winds and low barometer, ending about Monday :2Jth, to Thursdav 20th, in many storms ol heavy thunder wind and rain. All gulf and coast regions should be watchfulA sweeping hii»h barometer and change to much cooler will end September.

We predict that much very warm weather will prevail in September, and oven into October and that the monlh of October will be one of maximum storm pe.turbations. especially over tlM lakes and north Atlantic regions.

VISITING HIS ANOTHER'S GRAVE

By Frank Yeagley and Wife Causes

his to Receive a Black Eye

and Other Bruises.

Sunday night near o'clock a bug.'y containing three persons drove up in front of the Mayor's oflice. The occupants, Frank Yeagley and wife, and anotner woman at once began a doleful story of how while in the altornoon visiting their mother's grave at Oak Hill, they in returning to town stopped for a short rest at onC of the houses in the valley where liquid refreshments can be obtained, that in financial discussion with the proprietor Yeagley lost his hat but got a black eye from coming in contact with his list., and also his wife lost her diamond ring it was stated in tho excitement. Yeagley, son of D. W. Yeagley lives at Thorntown, and is one of the most worthless character that ever graduated from a Crawfordsville bchool of orniness.

July 2Gth., tho receipts of the show at tho afternoon performance wore tho largest in the history of tent Bhows, footing up $ll,t')50. At the two performances on that date tho paid admissions reached $24,000. This may bo one phrase of tho good feeling now existing between the United States and England.

S. C. Graybill has been appointed administrator of the estate of J. F. France, deceased.

A gang of nine tramps were run in by the police last Saturday for creating a drunken disturbance near |the Monon depot. When brought before the Mayor he ordered them fired out of town, which order was carried out to the letter.

sionniness, or will

nave felt the changes of b.irometer and temperature consequent upon tho pannage of general storms. (Jeneral high barometer will follow disturbances inland from the northwest causing cool, northerly winds over most of the country until the southern disturbances pass to the north Atlantic. From about tho Mh to the 10th, a general reaction of the elements to storm conditions will be the order.

The next regular storm period is cen tral on the l.'Uh, extending from the 1-th to lGth. Watch reports ot barometer and thermometer closely at this tune, and see if warmth does not increase and tho barometer does not fall in western sections early in this period see is tin-so conditions do riot spread eastward from day to day, anil ll tliev are not followed by growing cloudiness and linally by storm of rain, wind and thunder in most parts, on and touching tho days embraced in the storm period. We predict that the heat will not break down generally, that the barometer will not rise decidedly, and that the worst disturbances of this period will not transpire until about Thursday the loth, on which date the moon is boih new and on ihe celestial equator. Sharp change to the cooler ami higher barometer will follow storms and dominate the weather for three or lour days following,

PEACE DAY.

Crawtordsvillc Will Celebrate the

Consummation ot Peace.

Jr.u\ foidtsvillc it to have a peiice jubilee. This is almost an assured l'act. •"several of our business men have interested themselves in the move and steps me bi'ing taki'ii to insure a celebration which will in every way bo uorthy of tli" cause ami the city. The day has not yet been set. Some ao in fa\or of it oceuring about the middle of September while others think it should be postponed until the first of October and then combine it with a big "harvest home" carnival in appreciation of the bountil ul crops. To the latter plan we aie more favorable inclined. It has been a long time since Crawfordsville has indulged a "blow-out'' and the time is now ripe for "rip-roarin" big time. The result can be accomplished if the proper elTort is put forth and we think it will be. A public meeting will oon be called, committees selected and airangements for the big day perfected.

Working the Wheel Racket. Here is the latest graft being worked by sharpers. A stranger rides into a neighborhood on a good bicycle, and claiming to bo very hard up, offers to dispose of his wheel at a very low rate and if lie can find a purchaser he gets all the motley he can out ot tho wheel and leaves. In a day or so another stranger comes along on the hunt of a stolen wheel he gives the number and describes it, and the purchaser

ha9

give it up as stolen property. In this way tho sharpers manage to make

frOT

twenty to thirty dollars out of a town, ship, and then hunt other fields for their operations.

Republican Township Nominees.

The republicans of Union township met at the Court House on Saturday afternoon to nominate a ticket of officials to be voted for in November. Tho procoedinps were dull and spirtless. tho«e present outside the candidates no seeming to care who wero nominated. Tho following are the nominees:

Justices of tho l'eace—S. A. Stilwell, W. (.!, Ilannn. M. V. Huck, of this city and W. II. Rrown, of New Market.

Constables -A, II. Hernloy, Jes^e Tomlinson, John liyers, all of this city, and Henry li. Wray. of New Murk fit.

A Good Business.

Tho Wallace show did a good business hero on ednesday, especially at the night performance. This is strictly an Indiana circus, the proprietor. 15. K. Wallace, having lived at Peru for many years and where the concern has Us winter quarters. The show formerly had a bad reputation for the vast number of fakers traveling with it but this is no longer the case, and it is as free now from these pests as any of tliem. The show is due in California in four weeks.

Hay Call Rev. R. F. Coyle.

There is a possibility that Rev, Robert F. Coyle, D. I)., of Oakland, Cal., will receive tho call to the pulpit of the Third Presbyterian church of Chicago. Friends of Dr. Coyle in Oakland say that the matter has been considered, and that ho will accept tho call if tendered. The Third Presbyterian church is the former charge of llov. .John li. Withrow, I). I)., and is one of the most aristocratic and wealthiest churches in the city.—Chicago Times-Herald.

For or Against Musical Instruments.

Rev. W. J. llowe, of Wayno county, formerly Christian minister here, has lately been engaged in a public debate in his locality with another divine ot tho same denomination,{and which has drawn out large audiences to hear them. The question at issue is, Resolved, that it is right to use ^musical instrument in churches. Rev. Ilowe take tho aliirniative of tho question.

Don't Want It.

The proposition toj^cstablish straw board works here for a bonus^of 815,000 soemsto have met with much inditrerence. The samo proposition was made to tho business men of Covington and met a like fato. Straw [board works generally are not considered a very valuable requisition to the manufacturing interests of any placo ]j.in fact many towns possessing them seem desirous of ridding thonisolves of them.

Resigns.

Captain Alexador of Co. has resigned, and Jthereat his frionds and enemies seem to have much to say. What use there is in making much ado over it is not apparent. He is not the first officer in the^armj to resign, and there seems no apparent cause for so much discussion. Co. M, quite probably and all the other companies of the regiment will be mustered out of service.

Rev. Leech Retires.

An Atchison paper says: "Rev. S. V. Leech, of the First Methodist church of this city, has asked for an mdefinito leave of absence-on account of his infirmities, und tho presiding elder of the \tchisun district, the Rev. W. H. Zimmerman, has been requested to secure another minister to supply the P'-i! ,it. Dr. Leech's family went east some timo since,'"

To Porto Rico.

Gen. Hayes, a member of Battery A who has been enjoying a thirty day furlough at home, left for Washington Wednesday in response to an order from the war department to report for duty at once. It is thought this battery will bo sent to Porto Rico at once and will be stationed there for an indehnate period.

The funeral of FrankUritton,of Co.M, occurred here Saturday and was largely attended and military in character Five members of tho company, Fred Tutt, Sam Dean, Clarence McClure, Howard llratton and Geo. Hays acted as pall bearers. Tho floral tributes were many and beautiful.

"Large and Enthusiastic."

The Journal's account of the "large and enthusiastic" convention last Saturday was a ghastly joke. It required list six minutes to organize, nominate and adjourn, and the attendance was composed exactly of twelve republicans, three democrats and John liyers.

John G. Overton and family left on: Wednesday for Emporia, Kansas, to locate. Emporia is a city of about 10,* inhabitants and one of the thriving places of that state.

What few members constitute the Salvation Army here seem to have much patience. Although probably not obtaining a recruit for three months past the beating of the big drum seems as vigiorous as ever.
