School Fund.
The June apportionment of the school funds has just been completed by the state department. The last per capita allowance was 81.41 this one is 81.45. The enumeration of children of school age in this county is 8.423. The tax collected from this county is 813.639.75: the amount received will be 812.213.35, a sum 81,42640 less than is paid out by the taxpayers. This goes to help out the poorer counties, but it is much less »for Montgomery than several others. Marion for example, loses nearly *840.000, Tippecanoe almost $6000. -The despised Posey losts almost 81,000 showing that in reality she is -far ahead of many other counties in iithe state, The total amount collected from the counties is $1,107,064,12 and .this added to the amount from the state treasury makes 81,129,197,52. 833,432,42 of this is not apportioned.
Compared with last year the total -apportioned is 831,289,65 greater. This indicates a prosperous condition. The county auditors will receive the respective apportionments shortly, and the amounts will be divided among the townships and school corporations of each county.
Exploded.
Gasoline is a very high explosive, but it is in such common use that people are apt to overlook its dangerous properties. Miss Theda Eldridge was forcibly reminded of the fact, however, when on Tuesday morning she attempted to fill the tank of a gasoliue stove. The fluid suddenly burst into a mass of flames "that flashed into her face and enveloped her hands. She and her little brother were both burned considerably. She rushed in frig hi to the door to throw out Ibo burning can just as her mother. Mrs. Sim Eldridge, was entering the house. The latter was struck by the can and her clothing was ignited. The flames however were quickly extinguished, and her burns were more painful than serious. A physician was called and the burns treated. While not dangerous the wounds are quite painful, and as a reminder that gasoline must be handled with care are an eminent
success.
William Enoch Dead.
William Enoch, an old and highly respected citizen of Crawfordsville, died, Thursday morning, from the effects of heart disease, at the age of 84 years. Death came to him while at the breakfast table. He suddenly fell asleep and in a few minutes he was dead.
Mr. Enoch was a native of Butler county, Ohio, Dec. 22, 1815, and during his younger days worked in the mills of Middletown and Dayton. He came to Indiana while still a young man. He was married in 1841 to Permelia White. One son was born to them, who died in 1837. His wife died in 1888. Since then he has been alone in the world. Iti religion he was a Universalist and in politics an ardent Republican. He was honest in his convictions, a straightforward man and model citizen. The funeral will occur Sunday at 2 o'clock from the first Presbyterian church under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.

The Board of Review has raised the assessment of the Indiana Natural & Illuminating Gas Co., considerably from the amount returned by the Co., to the assessors. The raised figures are as follows: Crawfordsville, 82,060 Union township, $940 Franklin township, $1,150. Total, 84,150. The reduction of Darlington $65, on account of an error in footings leaves a total valuation of $4,085.

I spent Sunday among the classic scenes ot' Pine Ridge and Crazy Creek, and was well entertained by William Viers and his good wife. Long may they wave.

An ice cream supper was given by Miss Lou Morri6, the refined daughter of D. S. Morris, ou Wednesday evening, at the home of her father. A merry crowd of young folks was on hand and a good time was had by all.
Alice Biggs no longer wear6 the belt as the best berry picker of Woodland farm. Daisy Endeen is now the champion.

"Sallie Barlow" picked the first picking of raspberries. Sallie is a Pearl of the tirst water.
Boss Viers and I had the pleasure of eating supper with Charley and Dora Lewis on Tuesday, after which wo all took the Crazy Creek hack for Pine Ridge to be present at the celebration. The ride was the wildest and most thrilling one I ever experienced. The driver was a reckless dare-devil, and the rapidity with which he swished around short curvee was appalling. I thought I'd shake to pieces as along the road we flew. 1 sat between Boss and Charley, and my ribs have been eore ever since. They like to squeezed me to death. Dora had better keep a watchful eye on Charley. He flirts with me whenever her back is turned. And Boss is just as bad as Charley. Ethel had better look after him. He's too loving with ne.
Ed aud "Boss" went on the Chicago excursion, last Sunday. On the return trip, the train arrived at the Monon station about 6 o'clock Monday morning. Ed and "Boss" were seen to get off the train and start toward home, but as the morning hours glided by they failed to show up at the farm. The dinner bell rang aad still they came not. Fears were entertained that murder or matrimony had been committed. Some thought they had been kidnapped by Gypsies along the road. A party was organized and started out to look for the lost lads. A diligent search waB made. No trace of them could be found. The men were on the point of giving up the search when tney heard a peculiar noise that seemed to proceed from the hill north of the valley school house. It sounded like some one calling hogs through a water spout. The men rushed on top of the hill, and behold! The lost was found. The boys were lying under an oak tree sound asleep and snoring in stentorian tones. Like "The babes in the woods" the birds were covering them with leaves. They were awakened and could not be convinced that they were not in Lincoln Park until they got out on the road.
Tuesday evening witnessed the most superb and social soriee of the summer season. It was given by William Viers, the genial berry merchant and fruit grower, in honor of his birthday anniversary. Some sevonty-five invited guests congregated at his hospitable and happy home on the afore-said evening. About twelve gallons of ice cream were devoured on this festive occasion. The long snowy table was handsomely adorned with fragrant and fascinating flowers. A dozen choice cakes beamed upon the bountiful board. Prominent among these pearls of the pan was an elegant rose-banana and a juicy jam cake, both of which were stired up and and baked by Miss Verna Viers, the excellent daughter of our host. She also compounded the ice cream, which was delightfully pleasing to the palate, each freezer being of a different flavor. Both cake and cream were highly relished by all. Mr. Viers received several nice presents. Among the Dumber was a handsome rocking chair, which was presented to him by Mies Verna. Miss Florence Demoret graced the assemblage aDd assisted in making tfie occasion a success. Feasting, mirth, and social conversation continued until time flew from us like an idle dream, and it was quite late when the wall-pleased throng started homeward through the gloom, being guided by the friendly aid of lightning bugs that glowtod fitfully in the airs of June. The ghostly hour of 12 was striking as the cry of "All aboad for the Paradise!" rang out over Pine Ridge farm, and the hack rolled down the woody lane with its load of gleeful gormandizers. May Mr. Viers live to see many more such happy anniversaries, while the years run on, keep, ing the even tenor ot their way, undisturbed by storm or strife, and as he approaches the snowy hills ot life's winter, go smiling behind the misty veil as "one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."-
