IF
A Husband Thinks His Wife Has
Flown "With a Handsome Man." It is a cold and drizzly day when Crawfordsville cannot scare up something in the sensational line. This week a certain corner of the city is all agog over the alleged elopement of a married woman with "another feller." The husband of the woman concluded that he wanted the departed frau written up to a "fine frozzle," but afterward concluded that his chase after the recreant pair would be impeded in case they should see it, and called it off. So we will give the facts minus the names as the husband detailed it. He evidently believes the DAILY REVIEW has a wide circulation, and it has, but it would probably not reach the eyes of the victims.
It seems that along the first of April the woman in the case went to I visit relatives to remain some weeks. She took all her clothes and many articles of value. When the time came for the return, she came not, but sent a letter instead telling him from henceforth he could cook his own grub, make his own bed, darn his own socks, and if he didn't like that he could board. This pleasing bit of information fell on his heart like the news of the battle of Manila Bay on Sagasta's, and between tears he scratched his head, and the truth dawned on him. He packed his effects and started an investigation. He missed a paper hanger from his accustomed hau. ts, and he discovered that they had been seen together at a neighboring town, and thence together they sped for Indianapolis. In that wicked city they were lost. He is now on the trail, and his blood is boiling, and woe be unto the fleeing wife and her paper hanger when he overtakes them.
Kicked by a Horse.
On Friday Charley Brown, residing near Fruits, was kicked by a vicious horse and severely injured. In passing behind the horse, which was standing in its stall, he came too near the animal and it kicked him in the chest, throwing him against the side of the barn and breaking three of his ribs. Fortunately Mr. Brown was so close to the horse that it was not able to deliver the stroke with full force, otherwise he would have been instantly killed. The injury is quite severe,but he is thankful it is not far worse.
Big Wool Day.
McClure, Graham & Rountree yesterday purchased 15,000 pounds of wool, the largest day's purchase in the history of Crawfordsville as a wool market. The clip was brought in fit the following counties: Tippecan Boone, Hendricks, Putnam, Parke, Fountain, Clinton and Montgomery. This shows the reputation of this city as a wool market. It draws frpm a wide territory.

WEDDED NOON.
Albert B. Hannan and Miss Habel Speed Married at First Church.
A beautiful church wedding was that of Mr. A. B. Hannan, of Jonesboro, and Miss Mabel Speed, of this city at noon to-day at the First Presbyterian church. The auditorium was bedecked with palms and ferns and was well filled with the friends of the contracting parties. At the noon hour Miss Stilwell began the Lohengrin march on the pipe organ and the bridal party entered from the chapel seeaed by the ushers, Messrs. C.
Wilhite, Clarence McClure, Joe Herron and Walter Schleppy. Down the west aisle leading to the pulpit came two of the ushers, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Rose Scott who was becomingly attired in pink dimnity trimmed in ribbon ruffles and carrying pink roses. Next came Miss Vivian Bolyard, the bride's maid, dressed in pale blue dimity with ribbon rufflles and yellow roses. Following these came the bride and father. Miss Speed presented a charming appearance, gowned in white silk mull over white silk, trimmed in bands of satin and flounces of lace, high neck and long sleeves, together with brides' veil and bouquet of bride's roses. Down "the east isle came the Rev. Dr. E. B. Thompson followed by two ushers and the best man, Mr. Willard Elkins, of Jonesboro, and the groom. The ring ceremony was used. At the conclusion of the service the party retired to the strains of the Mendelssohn march and were driven to the Speed home, No. 411 west Pike street, wnere an elaborate wedding collation was served. The bride's cake contained a ring for early marriage, a dime for riches and a button for single blessedness. The ring fell to the ot of Miss Clouser, of Darlington the dime to Miss' Bolyard and the button to Claude Gill.
The groom was formerly a member of the class of '99 in Wabash College and here met his bride of today, who is one of Crawfordsville's sweetest girls. The couple will leave tonight for their future home in Jonesboro, where Mr. Hannan has a position with the firm of Pierce & Coppack. Those present from abroad were Mrs. B. C. Hannan and daughters, Miss Carrie and Mrs. B. C. Brown, of Indianapolis, Misses Britton, McDonald, Board and Bell, Covington, Mrs. Ed. Layton, of Linden, and Mrs. Clouser, of Darlington.
TAX FERRET CASE.
Case of Wayne County Commission*
ers Against Dickinson Reversed.
The case of the board of commis Wayne county against
of
siouers Samuel Dickinson, known as the "tax ferret case." The commissioners had made a contract with M. Lacey, agreeing to pay him 25 per cent, of the amount of taxes collected on omitted property discovered and reported by him and collected through his efforts. He was to receive nothing, however, until the taxes were actually collected and paid into the county treasury, and was to pay part of the expenses incurred in discovering the property and placing the same on the tax duplicate. Samuel Dickinson sued, as a tax payer of the county, to enjoin the county officers from paying
Lacey and asking to have the contract adjudged to be void. In reversing the case, Judge Jordon said: "It is insisted by the council for appellee that in the administration of county affairs the board of commissioners has no power to employ persons to search within or without the county for omitted taxable property, and report the same if discovered, to roper authorities for taxation, reason, as urged, that the law has cast the duty of discovering and assessing such property, as is liable to taxation, upon certain designated county officials other than the county commissioners. It appear* that the contract in dispute had been executed by and between the board of commissioners and the appellant almost five months prior to the time appellee instituted this action, and appellant had rendered services thereunder for which he was claiming that the money, the payment of which appellee in this action seeks to enjoin was due and owing to him from
Uie pr for tne
Wayne county. Conceding without deciding, that providing the grounds upon which the order of the board and contract thereunder are assailed in this action can be maintained, an injunction at the instance of appellee as a taxpayer would have been granted to prevent the board and

well deny him favorable consideration in a court of equity, where the laches of a suitor, as a general rule receives no favor. Without passing on the real merits of the controversy, we are of the opinion that appellee, under the facts revealed by his complaint, is not shown to be entitled to equitable relief."

Never Do You Believe It. Certain parties are circulating the report over the county that the
VIEW
RE
is now out of the Democratic field and is independent. When any man comes to you, Democrats, with that story in his mouth you may set it down as untrue, and if you wear a No. 10 boot a lift with one would be just what such a fellow deserves. The man who is circulating the report probably is hired at so much pier lie to do so, and a man who lies for hire is a dangerous fellow. This is the entering wedge by which certain schemers expect to split the democratic party. The
REVIEW
has been
the Democratic organ for 60 years and is not to be sidetracked by any little sideshow, engineered by fellows whose stock in trade is jealously, spite, gall, incapacity, variableness and falsehood. So stamp on the story whenever you hear it. The REVIEW is democratic to the core Democratic oecause it believes in Democracy, and all the money in the world could not buy a defense in it, for a piece of dirty work or personal political scheme furtherance from any man. It is for the Democratic party's best interests and none other. So be warned against fellows who knives for it.

WHEAT CROP
Pronounced an Absolute Failure in
This County.
A prominent grain merchant of this city who has been traveling about considerably over the country says that there will not be one twentieth of a crop in Montgomery county this year. He says that last year $350,000 was paid out by the grain dealers of this city to the farmers for wheat. He estimates that this amount will fall $250,000 short this year. This means much to the farming community. It is so much revenue which cannot be restored, hence it must necessarily mean hard times.
The Railroad Liable.
The question whether a railroad company could be held liable forburning a barn half a mile from its tracks, which was set on fire by brands from afire started by an engine near the track, was decided in the affirmative by the Appellate Court. The judgment for $867 recoyered by Dr. Benjamin Kreig, of Fulton county, against the Chicago & Erie Railroad Company was affirmed. It was shown that sparks from a locomotive engiue set fire to a barn near the track. A strong March wind was blowing directly toward Dr. Kreig's barn, and sparks from the first fire started other fires in the fields between the two barns.
A spark set fire to some straw in his barn-yard, and the doctors barn was consumed. The court said that the first fire passed,
as
a uatural conse
quence without the intervention of any responsible human cause, to the plaintiff's barn, as a reasonably prudent person would have anticipated it might, and, therefore, the company was liable.—Indianapolis News. i$:n

It will be profusely illustrated as have been the other numbers of the series, and will be a very attractive and valuable souvenir. The Indianian is doing a valuable work in the historic line.

IS IT TREASON?
on
Gov. Mount Places Himself Record on the Trust aud Pro
tection Question.
There
IS
no question but that the
republican party is veering about on the great economic questions of the day. At the present rate of going that party wilf be "a tariff for revenue only party inside of ten years. Much has been said lately about trusts and their baleful influence on the business and industrial forces of the country, and the leaders of the party are seeing now to what a condition a protective tariff has led the country to, and are hedging. Governor Mount is one of the outspoken ones among thtm. He was invited to attend the Civic Federation conference at Chicago, and his reply would, five years since, have been regarded as heretical in the extreme. He says: "I have always advocated and believed in the protection and encouragement of American industries, believing, (andhistory has justified such belief) that home competition would regulate prices but if home industries are to unite in gigantic trusts, thus destroying competition and controlling prices, then I am for removing protection from all articles manufactured by such trusts, to the end that, if competion cannot be maintained at home, we can have competition from abroad."
CHURCH ROW.
The Brown's Valley Baptists Again
in the Ring—A Lawsuit in Prospect.
The old church fight at Brown's Valley is about to be called again. The Christian people who own two town lots separated by an alley which has been fenced up from time immemorial are about to build a new church. They desire to use both lota, but the alley prevents unless they can have the same vacated. The Baptists refuse to allow that done, as it is a short cut from their parsonage to the heart of the city. The
Chris
tian church people yesterday fenced their lot, and now the battle royal is on, and a fine large lawsuit is likely to result therefrom. Thos. Patton is the leader of the Baptist forces, and as there is and has been much bad blood over it, the proposed suit will attract much attention. It was to have been filed to-day, we understand, but bad not been up to four o'clock. It is to be hopea.it never will be, and that the trouble^may be amicably adjusted.
