Street Fair Notes.
I be ten cent shows and merry-go-rouuJs all did a good buBines°.
.the street iair brought many more strangers to our city than the county fairs have for some years.
Strangers very generally in town this week were favorably impressed with Crawfordsville and go away with good words for our cityt
The employees about the city building did a good job of decorating the froiif of it and it presented a attractive appearance.
very
The Hulman booth from Terre Haute placed in front of the two saloons or Main street was the most elaborately constructed of any to be seen.
The mosi original sign seen in town this%eek is that in front of Joe Taylors place on east Main street, made of corn cobs. It is the work of Joe's own hands and is decidedly attractive.
Gambleis and other classes of porting individuals were plenty here this week being drawn here of course by the supposed good picking to be found from the crowds in attendance at the fair.
The Sherman House during this week has had the biggest run of business in its history, and the demands for meals and sleeping accommodations have been away beyond the capacity of the house*
The street fair was the most thoroughly advertised event in Crawfordsrille's history. The REVIEW job department turned out many thousands of catalogues, dodgers and heralds, while other job offices in town did equally as well.
The lumber of which the booths are built will rapidly disappear after today. Several of them have been sold to farmers, who will use them in the construction of eorn cribs, etc. Others will be returned to lumber dealers, who take them back at about one-half their first co6t.
After a contest of two weeks among the friends of the twenty-five or more girls as to who should be flower queen, it was finally decided in favor of Minnie Brown. The officers of the Ben Hur organization dove down into their pockets during the few hours before the polls closed and furnished the moEt money in favor of the successful one, who iB in their employ. Some of the friends of a few of the defeated girls were sore over the result, as was to be expected. The eame growling would have been heard regardless of whom might have been chosen.
Doubtful. 4
A new directory of Crawfordsville is about to be issued and, as usual, to please the vanity of some people the publishers of it have gone into the census taking business and place Crawfordsville's census at 11,096. There is not a city in America but what the census is always over rated. It is considered the correct thing in talking to a stranger to lie regarding the number of inhabitants living in your town. Chicago, Indianapolis, New York, and the newspapers of a thousand other cities always lie regarding the number of their population. ll,096 for Craw fordsville! A great big falsehood. An honestly taken census would not, we believe, sh-,.w our population over 9,000 if even it would reach these figures.
Both Wills Contested.
The will of Councilman John W. Slider, of Kokomo, who cammitted suicide, disinherited his relatives and left his estate of $40,000 to outsiders. George W. Slider, of Lafayette, contested the will on the ground that his brother was insane when the will was made.
Saturday George W. Slider died, while undergoing an operation for the re moval of a fragment of a shell received in the rebellion. His will also disinher its his near relatives, and it is said suit will also be brought claiming that his mind was not ri »ht.
Clodfelter in Boone.
The Hon. M. E. Clodfelter, democratic candidate for joint senator for the counties of Madison, Hamilton Boone and Montgomery, and Judge W A. Tipton of Lebanon addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Dover, Boone county, lust Saturday night. The hall was not large enough to hold the crowd. Milt Smith, an old-time republican, presided.
A Sunday ilarriage.
Wm. F. Hulet and Miss Viola Gilkey were married on Sunday afternoon last at the residence of Henry Thompson, near Yountsville. T^a newly married couple have gone to house keeping in one of the residences owned by Mr. Hulet on Hocum street.
To Evansville.
Frank Coss, formerally of the Crawville lumber company, removed with his family last week to Evansville for future residedce.
SERIOUS CHARGE
Against a Young Man Near Darling,
ton, if Proven.
Cash Wilson, a young man living near Darlington, was arreBted the first of the wet-k, at the instance of a youDg lady. E la BuBkirk, of the same locality, in which she charges him with bastardy In her complaint she asserts that her ruin was accpmpliehad, not by any honied words of the defendant, but through fear, he having drawn a revolver and threatened her if she did not accede to his wishes. The matter may be more serious for Wilson, such being the case, than he imagines. Wilson gave a 1600 bond for his appearance at court.
Capital vs. Labor.
ED. REVIEW:— The recent tragedy occuring at Pana, Illinois, will start a thrill of horror throughout the United States. Nine men were killed and twice that number wounded in a public place in open^daylight in an engagement or battle between two contending factions. We call it a riot between organized labor and the unorganized laborer which the mine owners had attempted to introduce in their work. Was the killing of these men murder, or are we in a state of war? It either of the parties were anarchists we would hang them as we did in the Chicago riots. But as both sides have each a great party of voters behind them, we suppose there will be nothing doni—and the fact will go all over the world to the scandal of thij great republic, that one of the recognized means of settling big controversies is by having war and the use of tighting men with clubs and pistols. We have heretofore in this paper referred to the dangerous nature of the disputes over the labor question, and suggested the remedy of arbitration to fix reasonable wages in cases of this kind. If these men were guilty of wilful murder they ought to be punished or otherwise there is no security for life or property. If they had a grievance that justified the outbreak the grievance should be remedied by law at once.
Large and Enthusiastic Crowds. Hon. M. E. Foley, of Montgomery county, Bpoke to two enthusiastic democratic meetings in this county esterday^ At Pickard, in the afternoon, the schbol house was crowded, every available foot of space being utilized. Mr. Foley has spoken much over the district and ri'ganJs this meeting as by far the best school house meeting he has had during ihe campaign. At He's school house in the evening he had another large gathering to hear him. At both meetings Mr. Foley devoted his attention to the money question, which he discussed in his usual convincing and eloquent manner. He flayed the republican party for its broken promises to the people and took Mr. Landis down for t.he same reason. The enthusiasm which greeted his speeches and the interest displayed in the meetings was very complimentary to Mr. Foley and testified to the high esteem in which he is held in this county. He speaks at
Michigantown this evening, and quite a crowd will go from Frankfort to hear him.—Fraokfort Crescent.
Rural Free Delivery.
First assistant postaster-general Heath has received a letter from Governor Mount praising in high terms the rura' free delivery service.
About three months ago rural free delivery was established near Crawfordsville. The service took in the territory in which Governor Mount's country residence iB located. In his letter commenting on the benefits derived from rural free delivery, the governor states "that many farmers are now taking daily papers, which condition coula not obtain if they were forced to go from one to six miles for their mail. The daily access to the market reports will be of financial advantage."
The govornor says rural delivery of mail is destined to benefit the farrae^ socially, intellectually and financially It also gives the isolated rural home an opportunity to keep in touch with the world. In concluding his letter he tenders first assistant postmaster-general Heath the thanks of the farmers.
Alf Comes Back at 'Em. The Journal somehow or other stepped on big Alf. Lookabill scorns the other day, in fact seems to have, in Alf's opinion, insulted him. Alf. comes back in the following fashion: "1 do not like to be assaulted without cause by a little pop gun newspaper loaded with a gang of little wasp waist, bullet headed editors, neither do I care to lower my dignity by noticing any thing they may say about me in the future. I bear the title of Commodore to our firm. Now where do you pin heads rank?"

Will Remain Some Days. The work of examining the men of the companies composing the 158th reg. iment win doubtless require a week'or more of time before final muster out, and the boys of Company M, who went out, to camp Mount on Monday will probably not return until next week.

A Preacher After the Bank Robbers. Rev. John C.

Worked for Its Success. No body of rr.en in Crawfordsville worked more industriously for the success of the street fair than the councilmen and other city officials, and due credit should be accorded thera for the interest taken by them in it and the labor so freely bestowed by each and every member of the city government.

58TH YEAR.— NO. 9
May Vs. Moimt.
A correspondent of the Sentinel thu9 relates how i„
the
a
difficulty between
Lieut. May and Gov. Mount both Montgomery county useo, the former outwitted the latter: '•There is an interesting Btory afloat as to how
regular army officer is alleged
to have for the second tima gotten the beet of the govenrnor. Between the chief executive and Capt. May of the regular army, who is lisuteo&nt-colonel of the Oue Hundred aDd Fifty-seventh volunteer regiment, the kindliest) of feelings have not existed! since the tiJt between the two before tie troops went to the front. I'haf- tilt arose over the claims of Col. Studebake* of the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh that he superseded Brig.-Gen. MicKee-of the state militia in command of thj brigade as soon as he was mastered into' theUnited States service- and before Gen. McKee became a United) States-officer. In this connection Col,Studefcaker waa supported by Capt. M»yr and as Gen. McKee was the governor's particular friend a very decided coolness was gen* erated. Lieut. Wattermao,. the-regular army muster out officer stationed at Camp Mount, being an obliging,genial* likable man, has also ingratiated himself into general favor at the executive office. "CBpt. May, so the story goes, has had his eye fixed on the position of chiet muster-out officer at Camp Mount for a good while. As for getting any support from the iveraor, that was ojt of the question. After he returned with his regiment, however, Capt. May speedily disappeared, having given out that ha was going to New York. Instead, how. ever, it is alleged that he went direct to Washington and successfully labored with the adjutant-general to be appoint* ed chief muster-out officer to succeed Waterman, using the argument, it is alleged that it would be improper to place a captain in the regular service under direction of a lieutenant. The truth as to whether he made such a rep* resentation cannot be vouched for, but at least when he returned home he found waiting for him a commission as
1
chief muster-out officer over Waterpffifi"' who
waB
made his adjutant. Wtten the
governor awoke to what was going on it was altogether too late."
