HOW ABOUT THIS?

A Qeustion of Interest to the Major

ity of Small Towns in the State.

In the greater number of small towns in the state it is quite the custom for the town offices to be filled by men elected, not as representatives of a political party, but on tickets called

Citizens'," "Independent," etc. The town of Broad Ripple has discovered that it has failed to comply with the election law iu a very important particular, and it is not unlikely that many other towns are in the same condition. The following extract from the Indianapolis News explains the interesting situation: "In the midst of an exciting campaign in Broad Ripple. the question as to whether cither puitv has complied with the election law has been raised. The contestants do not divide on part}' lines. One ticket is known as the -'Citizens' ticket and the other as the "Independent ticket. Each faction held a nominating convention, and the nominations were certified in the tnamtar prescribed for political parties. The At-torney-Genera! has held all along that nominations cannot be made and certified by convention where the faction or party making the nomination did not cast the requisite number of votes at the last preceding election. Last fall the "Citizens" and "Independent" voted as Republicans,'Democrats,Populists and Prohibitionists.

In order to be regular, the two factions in the town of Irvington, acting

011

the advice of the deputy AttorneyGeneral. certified their nominations by petition. Tlie point has been raised by the "Independents" that even if the nomination by convention were regular, the "Citizens" are not entitled to a place on the ballot, for the reason that the officers of the convention failed to comply with the law by stating their places of residence after their signatures to the certificate of nominations. The situation, altogether, is so tangled that both factions were seeking legal advice to-day.

The Telephone Queen.

Mrs. Maggie McMahon. of Covington, has purchased the entire lines of the Fountain Telephone Company at a large sum and has taken possession. She is the first wonyin to embark in the telephone business. Mrs. McMahon is a young widow and is a sister-in-law to ex Mayor Stilwell, of this city, and she has tendered him position of general manager. Asyet he is undecided as to whether he will accept. %.

TWICE ARRESTED.

A Ladoga Man Arrested For Mon

keying With the Delcctable JTidland. Edward Bartholomew lives at Ladoga. He worked for the Midland. He failed to draw the wages he had earned. He asked the bloated corporation for what was due him in pleading tones, and the only answer was "Hain't got it." Mr. Bartholomew arose up in his might and like a Colossus took his stand in front of the fast express as it came rushing into Ladoga at the rate of three miles an hour Tuesday afternoon. The proud locomotive swept onto the side track to allow the Xew York fast hog train to pass. The outraged employe threw the switch and locked it and quietly took his seat on the target and made the startling announcement that the fellow who undertook the job of unlocking it would see trouble in several different styles. The train crew felt that to shed any good red blood iu defense of the octopus would be unjust to their families, so they proceeded to enjoy themselves as best they could until the conductor of the flyer had telephoned for help to Crawfordsville. The lone guard held his position until Prosecutor Reeves could make out an affidavit and dispatch Constable Hernley to the aid of the soulless corporation. The crew looked for bloodshed and hid themselves under the train, but the bold, bad man walked away with the officer as docile as a lamb being led to the slaughter. He was arraigned before Squire Stilwell and asked for a change of venue, expressing his doubts about getting justice in a Crawfordsville court, and it was sent to Squire Long at Ladoga.

Yesterday afternoon word was received from Ladoga by Urban C. Stover, who is the attorney of the octopus, which scared him badly. It was to the effect that the irrepressible Mr. Bartholomew had gone back to Ladoga and had again held up the fast express, and was once more boss of the road. That he was once more astride the target and the whole corporation was terrorized. He immediately sought the Prosecutor and a warrant was issued for Bartholomew's arrest, and deputy sheriff Barton was sent to arrest the desperado. He brought the man in late yesterday afternoon and he was immediately arraigned before Judge West. He entered a general denial to the charge and was placed under $250 bond for his appearance at the next term of the circuit court, M. M. Batchelder going on his bond.

The charge of holding up the locomotive this morning his friends say will fall through, that he is not guilty. The way the engine conies to lie dead on the track is because of the sympathy of the train crew with Mr. Bartholomew. It is said that the crew let out the water and drew the fires to get even with the company for its treatment of their comrade.

The Montgomery Case. The case to set aside deeds made by the late Simpson Montgomery to his son, W. B. Montgomery, brought by the grand-children of the deceased came to an end in the circuit court yesterday evening. A desperate effort was" made to show that the mind of the deceased was weakened by disease, that he was physically and mentally unable to attend to business and that undue influences had been used by W. B. Montgomery and wife to procure the deeds to about 87,000 worth of real estate. The case lasted for three days, and was bitterly con tested. Judge West decided that from all the evidence brought forth Mr. Montgomery was of sound mind, and capable of disposing of his property as he saw fit, and found for the defendant. This gives the widow of the late W. B. Montgomery possession of the property.

Death of a Little Oirl.

BL(] FIRE.

Destructive Conflagration Wipes Out

the Store of W. J. Kise at Mace.

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW.

Last night some time near 1 o'clock, the general store of W. J. Kise, of Mace, was discovered to be in flames. The alarm was given and a crowd quickly assembled, but the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done toward saving the contents of the store. All efforts were then put foith to save the other buildings. He had recently bought the store and put in a new stock of goods. This was a total loss. The post office and telephone office were in the same building and the upper story was occupied by the Mace Lodge No. 15, K. of P. All these were totally destroyed. The building was the property of Mr. Johnson, and was amass of blazing ruijps at the hour of going to press. The amounts of insurance could not be learned.

Fined.

The youthful egg twirlers, of Fiskville, were brought before the Mayor yesterday morning and fined to the amount of

S15.

each. They all

paid their fines with exceeding good grace. It developed in the trial that they had gathered up the unhatched eggs from the incubator of Mrs. Hillis and iaid in wait for their victim or. the fill. When he came by four of th boys opened a deadly fire. The bombarded refugee sought safety in flight but not until his suspicions were thoroughly confirmed as to the identity of the marauders. All the boys confessed that the eggs were thrown with malicious intent and that especially ripe eggs had been procured. There is a well grounded suspicion that other and older individuals than the ones who were fined had knowledge before the fact in this case, in fact played quite a prominent part in bringing about the episode. If they are discovered they will probably be brought before the throne and given a valuable lesson in the valuable art of minding one's own business.

Reception.

Last evening in its club rooms the Booker T. Washington club gave a brilliant reception. The rooms had been elaborately decorated for the occasion, the picture of Booker Washington occupying the place of honor in the we*!t center of lie room. The portraits of other prominent colored people adorned the walls conspicuous among which was that of the orator of the evening, Wickliffe Smith. This was very appropriately draped iu the American flag. The hall was brilliantly illuminated and presented a most pleasing scene. A large number of guests was .present,

Wickliffe Smith delivered an eloquent address in which lie graphically described his. experience as a soldier in Cuba.

Refreshments were served after which dancing was indulged in until a late hour. The affair was a great success in every particular, aud was highly creditable to the members oj the club whose untiring efforts rendered it so enjoyable.

Joe Fossee Married.

Joe Fossee, the popular barber, stole a march on his friends Tuesday night and got married. The affair was managed so skilfully that but a very few knew anything about it until the next morning. He waited to get his license until every newspaper man had abandoned the court house and then swore the Clerk to secrecy7. He was married to Miss Julia Strauss by Rev. Wallace Tharp at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening at the home which had already been prepared on west Wabash Avenue. The congratulations of a large circle of friends are theirs.

A Proposed Candidate.

EDITOR MJJRNIXG REVIEW:

While it is yet early to begin talking of candidates for the different places on the Democratic ticket in 1900, nevertheless, the boys are casting about for material for the several offices. The Democratic ticket in this county gives good promise of being a strong one and a winner. As to the legislative offices the name of Ren P. Carpenter, a young attorney of this city, has been very favorably spoken of for the office of Joint Senator from this county and Putnam. Mr. Carpeuter, though a young man, would certainly be a strong candidate and if nominated would make a good representative. The boys down in Putnam, where he formerly lived, look upon the matter, it is said, with favor.

Wedded.

Yesterday afternoon at Ladoga the marriage] of Arthur Ronk and Lorena Peffley took place at the home of the bride's parents. The grandfather of the bride, Rev. Maxwell, of Crawfordsville, performed the ceremony in the presence of a few relatives. Mr. Ronk is employed iu the drug store of Bynum & Coombe atLebqypon. The papers of that city speak "of him in the highest terms. The bride is a most popular young lady and enjoys the friendship of a wide circle of friends whose best wishes follow the voung couple to their home.
