CAUGHT!

Merchant Policeman O'Neill Runs

Down a rian Badly Wanted.

Yesterday Merchant Policeman O'Neill thought he would do a little detective work on his own account and started out to see if he could find any trace of the Dirickson's. With this purpose in view he turned his steps toward Mace. He walked out into the woods incidentally enjoying the beauties of nature, and keeping a sharp eye open for traces of his quarry. Suddenly he met two tramps, one of whom had a very suspicious appearance to the experienced eye of Policeman O'Neill. The other seemed an ordinary grizzled and weatherbeaten hobo. They had been sleeping in Steve Field's old house south of town on the Monon. Mr. O'Neill observed them closely and then came back to town to get help. He took a man back with him to assist in the capture. He found on reaching the place where the tramps had been seen that they had gone. After some search they were located in the woods south of the house. They were immediately placed under arrest. The yoimger man was carrying a cotton flour sack, which Officer O'Neill opened. He found that it contained some star chewing tobacco, some smoking tobacco, and a quantity of rope twist chewing tobacco. They were brought to town and searched. The older man Lad nothing suspicious in his possession, and was released as only an ordinary tramp. The younger, however, had two pairs of new kid gloves on his person, two French harps and a new two-bladed pocket knife and two or three new neckties, showing that he was a hobo of some taste and discrimination, and believed in the virtue of personal adornment. He probably only refrained from wearing the ties and gloves only because somewhat out of harmony with the rest of his apparel. Upon the approach of the officers he threw away a revolver which Mr. O'Neill thinks he can find and bring to town this morning. The fellow gave his name to the authorities as Harry Corbett. There is little doubt that he is the man who burglarized the Armstrong store at Mace. Marshall Brothers telephoned to Mace for Mr. Armstrong and he will come up this morning to identify the goods. This is an important capture and too much credit cannot be given Officer O'Neill for his work. It was well done, and deserving of the highest praise.

Rival Blacksmiths.

Joshua Harlan and Henry Coohnan are blacksmiths who have shops on Market street. Mr. Cool mail is heart and soul with the Union, while Mr. Harlan is heart and soul not with the Union. Mr. Coolman the other morning was shoeing an.obstreperous mule which straightened out his left hind leg and hurled him against the side of the shop. Mr. Coolman not being a very religious man gave? vent to an expletive more forcible than elegant. Mr. Harlan immediately proceeded to have Mr. Coolman yanked up before the Mayor onja charge of profan ity. Mr. Harlan also caught the younger Mr. Coolman indulging in the same business and filed another affidavit against, him, and another against his father. If Mr. Harlan is a reformer it is all right, but as the shops are rivals and at swords points, his action savors more of ginger than of justice. It is probable that Mr. Coolman could retaliate in kind, as there is not an over-stock of the Ten Commandments kept at the other shops.

Trustees and the Poor. The secretary of the state board of charities has asked the Attorney Gen eral in regard to that section of the law concerning county business which says the county commissioners have no power to pay out money from the Treasury in support of the poor except they be inmates of some county instition. The Attorney General holds that there is uo possible theory on which this law could be held as repealing the law creating a township oversber of the poor, ana the expenses attached to the office will still go on. This new law only provides that mouey^ shrll not be paid out directly to the individual by the couhtv commissioners to anyone not an inmate of the county infirmary or other institution, aa has been tne custom, in many counties, this one among others.

Crawfordsville, Indiana, Saturday, May 6,1899.

The Party Organ.

The Paducah Kentucky Register, a Democratic paper publishes the editorial from the Indianapolis sentinel of a few days ago, in reference to "Party organship," and commenting upon it says: "The editorial on "Party Organship" expresses the sentiments of the Register to the letter. The reliable newspaper of today is conducted along the lines laid down by the owners, and it cannot afford to relinquish its policy to hidebound politicians who expect to use its columns for their own selfish purposes and for gain. The owners of newspapers must give their publications a stamp of individuality, that which the public at all times expects to find penetrating its columns, and when the publishers get to the point that they are compelled to let others dictate the policy of the paper they have reached the point where they should retire from journalism. Instead of politicians dictating to newspapers. it is within the powerjof newspapers to dictate to the politicians. The politicians have become so emboldened by the weakness of some papers of late years that they demand that the papers fight their battles, and when they find a paper that refuses to obey them at once undertake to destroy that paper's influence by resorting to all the lying tricks known to politics, but they frequently reckon without their host and many a corrupt politician is exposed and kicked out of office by the people through the influence of that very same paper."

Women Employees.

The Sunday Star publishes a communication purporting to have been written by a woman taking advanced, or old fogy ground some would call it, on the woman question. It is really an advanced ground. The communication is worth a perusal, no matter by whom written, man or woman. It contains much food for thought, and if the questions there brought up were discussed by women clubs in general, the race would be benefitted vastly more than by the so-called papers which Miss Krout so aptly desiguates "excerpts from encyclopedias.'- The average club is a mutual admiration society and close corporation, discussing the "whichness of the whereof" and the "howness of the why," rather than things in which woman as woman is deeply interested, if she only knew it. The woman's club is a sort of a fad at best. They would be all right if conducted to the end that something l)e accomplished for the race. Man needs attention, and needs it badly. The new woman is too fresli to last. The woman who will wear and be crowned queen is the woman who can raise a family of honest, pure industrious sons and daughters who will call her memory blessed, no matter whether she ever heard of Herbert Spencer or Tolstoi.

In the Interest of Co-Ordinate Educa­

tion.

The attention of the business men of Crawfordsville is being called to the matter of co-ordinate education of women in connection with Wabash College. The executive committee of the business men, Messrs. C. D.Voris, G. \Y. Graham and W. F. Hulet, are issuing a call to citizens generally to attend a meeting on Thursday evening of next week at 7:30 o'clock in the court room. It is purposed at this gathering to discuss practical means for advancing plans for the introduction of the education of women here at an early date. It is believed that there will be marked interest taken in the matter, If the enterprise can be successfully started the result will be sure to be an increase in the population of the city through the coming in of families who are interested in educating sons and daughters togetherAll citizens are invited to the meeting next Thursday, including ladies.

Greatly Afflicted.

Charles Warren, who lost an arm in a com husker a few months ago, yesterday at 4 o'clock buried a nine-year-old child at Oak Hill. This is the third child within a year. The deepest sympathy is felt for him in his multiplied affliction.

,, Rathbone Sisters. Lily Temple, No. 149, will meet this evening at 7:30 o'clock. There will be work. Let all members be present.

SCHOOL FURNACES.

The Weople Generally Opposing the

Purchase of New Ones.

The question of new furnaces for the Central and Mills school buildings is now the chief proposition agi tating the tax payers. The school board made known the fact some weeks ago that the furnaces in these buildings were in a bad condition and something would have to be done during vacation. The Board recommended the purchase of new furnaces throughout. This would necessitate an issue of city bonds, as the furnaces would cost in the neighborhood of §7,000. The matter was beached for the time being by the council referring the proposition to a committee. But the question is again being agitated. The cnuncil committee argues, and wisely, too, that if the present furnaces can be repaired at reasonable cost it should be done, rather than extend the indebtedness of the city.

A few days ago Mr. M. 1). Fitzgerald, of Bloomington, 111., who put in the present furnaces, came over and made an examination of the apparatus. He discovered that the present furnaces are somewhat warped by the action of the natural gas that they need considerable repairing after their years of use, but that the whole battery can be put in good working order for about §1,000. The tubular masonry furnace is represented by Mr. Fitzgerald, and over 3,000 of them are in use. The school board is disinclined to listen to any repair propositions, their hearts desire seems to be to exercise their best judgment on some new ones. On the repair proposition however the taxpayers seem to be a unit. They prefer the old furnaces repaired at a cost of a thousand dollars to bran new and shiny ones with nickel plated doors and a §7,000 debt. Besides they are not sure that the new ones would be any better than the old ones repaired. The taxpayer as a beast of burden is about to grow unruly. He is preparto kick the official wagon into all sorts of kindling wood. He remembers Trilby and various other things, and feels that oppression's heel has scarred his weather-beaten neck long enough. He feels that as an individual not a member of the school board would throw away a furnace when he could make it good as new by expending upon it one-fifth of the cost of a new one, just to have it said he had a new furnace. The taxpayer of Crawfordsville has ceased to be aesthetic. He has quit wearing diamonds and gone to work to meet the demands of his pocketbook. He is bearing the "white man's burden" as best lie can. He has not the time to run for office and make money. He does not pare whether the old stove at home has three legs or four, so long as he can buy a chunk of coal and pay his taxes to keep the city burnished up and the official salaries paid. The voice of the taxpayer is: "For heaven's sake let up! Repair by all means!"

Marvin T. and Sarah J. Sarah J. Marshall enters her typewritten complaint of a couple of pages against Marvin T. Marshall, and asks a gold sealed blue-ribboned decree of divorce and all other relief. She states that th-^y were married July 3, 1882. They lived together until October 23, 1898, when they severed marital telations by Marvin taking on an overload of fighting whisky and driviug her away from home. Previous to this he had become an habitual imbiber of intoxicants and had slapped her, and called her vile names and in other ways conducted himself about, the home like a Georgia lyncher. She asks a decree of divorce and the custody of two children, whom she declares she is able and willing to care for and ed. ucate The parties live at Darli ngton

Ooing to Stop In Time. The Terre Haute city council has concluded to stop all street improvements, under advice of the city attorney, on account of the recent supreme court decision, which, it is alleged, virtually declares the Barrett law of this state unconstitutional.

TOWN ELECTIONS.

Nearly all the Small Towns Voted

Yesterday—Results Vary. The incorporated towns of the county held elections yesterday. ID some of them the atmosphere was tor lid to a degree, notably Darlington and Waynetown. The following is the result in the various towns:

DARLINGTON.

The entire Republican ticket was elected at Darlington by majorities ranging from 5 to 53, the lowest majority being on marshal. For trustee, W. B. Rodman, Rep., was elected in the first ward, receiving 101 votes, and W. M. Hopkins, Dem., 82. Trustee of third ward, Israel H. Baiter, Rep., received 116 votes and E. A. Leachman, Dem., 63. For treasurer Steve Kersey, Rep., received 97 votes and L. C. Thompson, Dem., 82. For clerk Daniel Voorhees Pittman, Rep., received 94 votes and E. H. Booher, Dem., 87. For marshal Monroe Mil-* ler, Rep., received 93 votes and Marcellus Booher, Dem., 88. The election was warm and the contest merry.

ALAMO.

At Alamo a light vote was polled. The entire Democratic ticket was elected by an average majority of seven. The marshal receiving only one majority. The rulers of Alamo for the coming term will be trustee of first district, Orpheus Ballew second, Tighlman H. Gass third, Joseph H„ Ellis clerk, Flint M. Lee treasurer, WT. W. McSpadden marshal, George Hancoek.

WAYNETOWN.

The election at Waynetown was quite an animated affair, there being three tickets

in

the field. The regu-

lar Democratic ticket received votes as follows: Trustee, Birdsell, first district, 96 Fletcher, second district, 84 Zuck, fifth district, 89 clerk, Biddle, 80 Munns, treasurer, 81 Bunnell, marshal, 88.-'

The result shows the election of three Democratic trustees by the following pluralities: Birdsell, 8 Fletcher, 78: Zuck, 1: The three officials elected on the People's ticket shows the following pluralities: Harvey, clerk, 27,Brown, treasurer, 21: Kramer, marshal, 21.

Our New Name.

A rose we are told would smell as sweet by any other name. "If that is the case every Epworth Leaguer, Endeavorer and Y. M. C. A. should subscribe for this paper. They ought to do it anyway, but under the circumstances they should all come up and give us their names. The saloonkeepers roared worse over the little truth we told about the violations of law yesterday morning than they, have about all the temperance lectures and W. C. T. U. conventions ever held in the city. We shot into the crowd and every one in it howled. So they were all guilty, evidently. They have dubbed us the "¥. M. C. A. Herald,'' the "Epworth News" and divers other names hateful to law breakers. But that is all right. The state of Indiana licenses these places under certain restrictions, and so long as they are observed, we have no fight' to make, but when law is trampled on and defied, every good citizen has the right, nay it is his duty to protest. He is not a good citizen if he does not. It is no disgrace to fight for the' right, and there is where we stand. Obey the law as you find it written and you wiil be let alone. Violate it and you will not. It makes no differ--ence what private arrangements have^-j. been made with police boards, the law stands above them all.

V. A Qood Catch. .. Wm." Hall, on Saturday, caught a' bass out of Sugar Creek that tipped the scales at five and one-half pounds.' This is the first notable catch of the season, and will doubtless cause evil intent among fishermen who are restricted for three months by the stat-ii uesthatbe.
