"Lucky" No Longer.

A correspondent speaking c.f "Lucky" Baldwin says: ''LucKy" Baldwin who at one time occupied the foremost place on the American running turf, is beggared. The |bbldwin Hotel fire pracically ruined him, He hie loss amounts to somewhere about §2,500,000, and there is little or m: irsuracc'-. The Hibernian Bank holds a blanket mortgage on his property for nearly 82,000,000, and the lot owwhich lhe hotel stood, together with his]|famoua Santa Clara ranch of 22,000 acres in Southern California, and other lands, cannot possibly cover his liabilities.]^ Perhaps, after all, the nickname "Lucky" was a mistit. To be beggered when one is approaching the three score years and ten, which are the generally accepted tenure of existence, is scarcely in the direct line of luck. Mr. Baldwin, before reaching the meridian of his racing fame, captured three American Derbies and bred and raced such equine stars as Volante, Lucky B, Gano, Emperor of Norfolk, Silver Cloud, Ruperta and the sweetest of a ares, LOB Angeles.

Schlemmer-Huffman.

Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Huffman, occured the marriage of Miss Francis L. Huffman and Mr. George M. Schlemmer, Rev. Brumbaugh officiating. Only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties were present. Mr. and Mrs. Schlemmer art* now at home to their friends in a neat cottage at 209 west Jefferson street. TLey are well known and popular young people and 1'HE REVIEW joins with their host of friends in extending congratulations.

Death Expectsd.

The death of Michael Gerbrick once a noted citizens of Crawfordsville. but for three years past an inmate of the asylumn, is expected to occur now daily, as ho has far mouths past been in a helpless condition. He is about 81 years of age, and is known as the first engineer to mofi) a railroad train through Crawfordsville, which event occured in 1852.

Mrs. .Joe E. Fisher is reported as improving.

HOW'S YOUR CREDIT?

"Good Pay," "Slow but Good,"

"Worthless" and Other Terms.

For many months past the grocerymen, dry goods house?, managers of shoe and blacksmithing shops, and in fact all lines of business in town, have been subscribers to and reporters for a house in Chicago which reports the standing commercially of purchasers in Crawfordsville and the entire county. If you are good, prompt pay, slow pay, or a dead beat, the book, a publication of probably 100 pages in type written type, gives your name, A "key" printed on a small card with capital letters instructs the business roan on the exact situation. The book is furnished to all subscribers at 810 per year, and the patrons of it say it is money weli invested, as it saves them from many losses by consulting its pages. Where an individual has succeeded in beating to or three grocers his name appears with two or three "X's" in gfront of it, as a warning to those places where he has not appeared as yet to|ask for credit.^ The nook is quite interesting in some respects as furnishing jtne standing commercially of thousands of individuals in the county.

The Difference.

During the rush of the holiday trade at one of the stores about Christmas time a respectable woman, and who moves in respectable circles was detected in the act of taking towels from counter. She was promptly informed of the attempted stealing and made to lay them down and ordered from the store. She they considered a kleptomaniac and no efforts toward prosecuting her were ordered. In another stoie a poor washer woman with few friends tempted by the brilliant array of queensware undertook to purloin some berry dishes. She was caught in the act before completing the work, and forced to lay the dishes down and leave the store. She was a "d-d thief" some ot those around said. What is the difference between a kleptomaniac and a thief? Not any that most people can see, and the merchants whose goods are taken miss it in not prosecuting both alike, Both are violators of law. A woman dressed in fashionable silk can steal as readily, it so inclined, as her less fortunate sister in tatered garments. But some how or other merchants are extremely sensitive about prosecuting kleptomaniacs, fearing perhaps, that it will injure their business. Why it should has never been satisfactorily explained.

"The Saved Turk"

Made quite a hit with the Salvation Ai my here this week. He plays several kinds of musical instruments and converse fluently in seven different languages. With all these accomplishments, however, his "hit" was not half so pronounced and substantial as that made by Muhleisen's "Hoboe" cigar. It has struck the popular taste in great style. If you don't smoke them, why not

THE GAS QUESTION.

The Contract Signed by Many Per

sons While Others Return Their

Mixers and Go Back to Coal and

Wood.

During most of last week the office of the gas company was crowded with people wanting to sign the new contract of the company. The contracts differ very little from the old except that it is entirely one sided in favor of the company, and in which the consumer of gas obligates himself not to prosecute if the company fails to supply him with sufficient quantities cf it, or any damages arising from its use to his property. Whether such a contract as this will hold good after a proper legal test is questionable. A number of persons, we understand, after reading the contract, refused to sign it, returned their mixers and commenced,

Many Sick People.

The continued change of weather has brought about much sickness and complaints of feeling unwell among the people. The grip is becoming to get in its unwelcome work and a number of cases are reported. Among the seriously ill are 1. N. Vansickle, who has been contined to his bed for several days, and his condition is reported as serious. Robert Ross, the harness dealer, is quite sick, and it is reported has pneumonia. Mrs, George Graham has a serious attack of the grip. Thomas Duckworth and David McClure are both victims of the grip.

Fourth Venture a Failure. The Terre Haute papers this week announce the filing of a suit for divorce by Mrs. Julia Wilhite Fletcher Patton In her complaint she alleges cruel and inhuman treatment and drunkenness. Mrs. Patton is the only daughter of the late Paschal Wilhite and has the distinction of being the richest woman in Montgomery County. This is her fourth venture in the matrimonial market, her first and second husbands dying while the third and fourth are still on earth. Mrs. Patton has taken up her residence at New Market.

Committee Hade Changes. George Bird ard O. W. Edmunds are home from Crawfordsville where they attended a meeting of the supreme executive committee of the Moose lodge. The regalia to be worn by all supreme and local lodge officers was changed and all amendments made for the past three years are to be engrafted into tbe gen eral laws. The funeral ritual is also to be changed.—Frankfort Crescent."

Mrs. Elva Friend has entered suit for divorce from her husband, William Friend, and alleges abandonment as her action.

Digby Bell presented "The Hoosier Doctor" in a creditable manner to a fair audience at Music Hall Tuesday night.

58TH

week, to burn coal

and wood. Many signed the contract because their dues are not now in a condition to safely use wood, and they would be to an extra expense in preparing them for it. They will probably continue the use of gas, come in what quantity it will, until nnxt October. After that time it is probable there will not be more than one-half the consumers on the company's books that there are now. The belief is becoming general that the gas is gradually becoming less in quantity and that with UB continued consumption it mudt soon entirely disappear as it has in the region around Pittsburg, Penn., and many points in northern Ohio.

Their Golden Wedding. A Special from this city to the Indianapolis News Bays: Today at their home, near Hillsboro. Mr. and MrsFrank M. Kerr celebrated their golden wedding. A large number of relatives and friends from Montgomery and Fountain counties were present. The principal was an address by the Rev. W. II. Kerr, of Crawfordsville. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr were married in Cumberland county, Kentucky, but have been residents of Fountain county most of their married life. Mr. Kerr has been one of the most prosperous citizens in the county, and has a valuable estate. The nine children of the couple live mar them, and are all prominent in the county.

OUT FOR THE "DOUGH"

After Preaching One Sermon Rev.

Hicks Finds He is "Called"

Elsewhere.

The First Baptist church of this city is again without a pastor being the victim of one of those peculiar "calls" so popular with ministers who are out,' for the "stuff," Ever since Rev. Trick resigned his pastorate several months ago the good people of the church have been casting about for a new minister. They finally pettled upon the Rev. WW. Hicks, of Bluffton, and that gentle-*^ man lost no time in accepting the call,, the agrement being that he was toassume the charge here on January He caiue duly to hand and last Sundayoccupied the pulpit, greatly pleasing the congregation. A change came Monday, however, when the reverend gentleman tendered his resignation stating that he had received and accepted a call at Flint Mich., where the salary watf $500 per year in excess of the one here. Without further parley he immediately boarded train and left the city, and' now the Baptist congreyation are busy looking for a new minister.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Senator Nusbaum, of Dekalb and No-

Where's Grandpa's Hat? The Indianapolis News Bays: "John Wingate has mora trouble with his hat than any other man who is manufacturing senators about the Denison. There is nothing particularly stylish about the hat, nor is it made out of the finest material, yet it ia taken more than any hat about the place. It is not an uncommon thing to see Mr. Wingate rushing, wildly through the corridors looking for the man that had carried away his top-piece He lost it five times last week."

YEAR.-NO.

bie counties has a .bill unlike anything ever introduced in the Indiana Legislature. It is to compel children to attend church and Sunday-school, though itB"" title describes it as an act requiring a more thorough preparation of chileren for citizenship by giving them a more? systematic training and development of their moral faculties.

A good-sized lobby for the purpose of having a bill passed compelling tne use of meters for fuel gaB is expected. The advance guard is already here, and more are coming.

Senator Gill, of Montgomery and Putnam, is a populist, and is proud of it. He will introduce a free school-book bill, making it the duty of the State to print the school books. He asserts that the books can be printed by the State for at least one-half what it cow coBts to print them.

Thomas II. Herrold, representative has a bill to exempt $300 for taxation which he will introduce by request. Under this bill a person not possessed of $300 worth ot property wouldJjjg exempt from taxation.

St\

Slot Machines Must Go. Th? slot machines which have been doing a thriving business for a couple of ears, are doomed. Thursday Marshall Brothers visited the different/ places about town and ordered the proA prietora to take out all these devices afr once. As a result all the machines havebeen relegated to attics and cellars wbere they will remain until this temporary burst of virtuous excitement blows over.

Working for Beveridge. John Bonnell, Wingate, of Wingate,. and a number of other republicans have been at Indianapolis most of this weekf working for Beveridge, who wants to be U. S. Senator. Unfortunately for them there are many older and longer-headed politicians who are not for Beveridge, and he will not be chosen for the place is our guess.

Davis Succeeds Himself. At the meeting of the State Board of Agriculture held at Indianapolis this week John L. Davis defeated W. W., Morgan as director from the tenth district by a vote of 27 to 23. The contest

was very spirited.
