should devote our greatest energies to the selling of cotton, consequently for the next two weeks we will conduct what will be known as a

We have assembled for this occasion thousands of yards of beautiful Summer Dress

purchases we have seeured these goods at prices which ruled at that tim6. Since then there has

been a general advance in price of cottons, but we will not allow the prices of to-day to affect the

goods we bought under more favorable conditions. Our prices will be made in keeping with the

cost to us. In many instances the price you pay will be no more than dealers are paying the manu­

regular prices here are lower than anywhere else. Special prices are beyond the dreams of the most

Crawfordsville, Indiana, Saturday, July 22,1899.

JWI ASKED burglars, three in number, made a midnight call on James Coulter Monday night, at his room on Lafayette avenue. Mr. C. was awake the front door was open, but the screen was fastened. He arose to order the marauders away but desisted when a dark lantern was flashed in his face and he gazed down 'into the black muzzle of a revolver. He obeyed orders and cuddled down in bed as bidden, while the burglars cut the screen and walked in. They informed Mr. Coulter that as he had drawn $100 from the bank, they had come for their share of it, which was the entire amount. They threatened to kill him and do a great many ugly things, but he protested that he had but two dollars, which they took and declined his silver watch with thanks.

As soon as they were well out of the door on their retreat Mr. Coulter found his voice and let off some lusty yells which brought him aid, but the game had flown. The crime is supposed to have been the work of local talent, and they will probably be run to earth soon.

city band has reorganized and has been incorporated under the name of The Big Store Band. The following officers have been elected: F. M. Bryant, President John W. Bell, Secretary John B. Rice, Treasurer and Manager Sim Eldridge, Director. The band now consists of twenty-one men and is a first-class organization. It is hoped that the organization will be a permanent one, and receive.the cordial support of our citizens. The Friday night free concerts will be continued as before. Their regular rehersals will be held each Monday evening at the band room in the Ramsey block.

state fish commissioner offers to send a deputy here to investigate the matter and he will probably drop in some cold and misty morning when he is least expected and his presence least welcome. It is said that several names are already on the slate for an interview. •r

IOHN L. WHITE was married on Tuesday morning last to Miss Eva Roberta Stevenson, of Kosciusko Mississippi. The marriage of John comes in the nature of a surprise, as none of his friends supposed he had intentions matrimonial. He is now located at St. Louis, where they will reside.

'T'HE LaPeari winter quarters, consisting of twenty acres at Til ton, were sold yesterday under foreclosure proceedings by Master-in-Chancery Partlow. The purchaser was Mrs. Ann Hembry, and the amount was $2,067,90. Mr. LaPeari has fifteen months in which to redeem the property and it is thought by that time he will be relieved of his financial distress and will get the property back.— Danville, 111., Press.

Danville, 111., papers come telling us of a Crawfordsville man who came to Danville and fell in with the pluckers. He took some woman out buggy riding Sunday night, and he claimed that she robbed him. He promised to get out a warrant for her arrest on Monday, but when the hour arrived he was so jagged that he did not know his own name.

Monday evening by the

burglar. He entered the house of Ed Williams while the family were absent, and went through things pretty thoroughly in his search for plunder. He was evidently in search of money, as nothing else was taken. The amount taken was small: just a little change in Mrs. Williams' pocketbook. Home talent was evident in the work.

is much complaint that

curfew ordinance is a dead letter. No arrests have ever been made under it, and citizens say that it is most flagrantly violated. They ask that the large and burly "coppers" abandon their fruitless search for the delectable Derricksons and scare the small boy home off the streets at the proper hour.

'T'HE big trees which have been the pride of Elston's grove, which stand in the way of opening Plum street will have to be sacrificed they tell us. One man bid six dollars for them the other night, and another offered the city 25 cents per cord for the wood they would make. Neither was accepted and the contractor will remove the trees. It is a shame to destroy them when they could be saved. It would do no harm to leave a huge tree in the center of the street, with a driveway on either side of it. To cut them down looks more like vandalism than business.

AN the 15th of September the new style money order will be brought into use. It is thought that that it will give better, satisfaction than the old order. It will be something after the style of the American Express Order, having a receipt in fac simile, which will be held by the one purchasing the order. 'This will be a positive proof that the order was sold in case of 'oss in transmission. The prices of money orders will be the same as originally, with the improved order and safety receipt.

NDIANA now has 28 rural routes with forty carriers. They are pretty well scattered over the state, and all of them are giving excellent satisfaction. There are thousands of applications on file for routes, but the department cannot answer all of them, the funds for the purpose are limited and there will be someone who will have to wait their turn, or until Congress makes a larger appropriation. This is the only thing farmers have ever received from Congress, except of course the protection of the sheep industry, which was a picturesque fraud, and now they want to sample the rural niail route and its luxuries.

TPHE streets of Crawfordsville are the 1 subject of much complaint among I wheelmen, because of scraps from the cresting works, broken glass and tacks. The repairmen do not feel so badly about it however. "Its an ill wind etc." These things in addition to the late coat of doruicks which has been placed ou the principal streets makes Crawfordsville's thoroughfare a paradise for the wheelmen and those who oyyn buggies.

THE labor unions are endeavoring to get up a great demonstration in this city, on Labor Day, Mondays Sept. 4. There is no reason why, with the proper amount of energy and push, there could not be brought here on that occasion a crowd of from 10,000 to 15,000 people. The scheme is worthy of the consideration of the business men of the city. It would be money in their pockets to fall into line with the proposition of the labor unions and all work together for the good of the city.

CVERETT HAM, a young man of Alamo, met with a frightful fall, a few days ago, from the effects of which he is laid up indefinitely for repairs. He was working in a haymow, and fell for a distance of some twentyfive or thirty feet, sustaining a fracture of the left arm near the wrist, the broken bone protruding from 'the flesh. His chin struck some obstacle in falling and was terribly bruised and gashed. It was a very narrow escape from death, and his injuries are so serious that considerable time., will be consumed in recovery.

the starting of newspapers there seems to be no end. Fvery little cross-roads village now has its newspaper, which is supposed to fill that "long felt want," that awful chasm which yawns in the think tank of a particular community, and which some fellow with more nerve and assurance than he has of either common sense or experience, thinks it is his duty to fill, and become a great world enlightener. Romney is just at this time threatened with such a catastrophe, as are several other towns of a like size in Tippecanoe county. The coming want fillers will, it is said, be owned and operated by a syndicate It is high time some earnast, enthusiastic thought preserver was looking after the "want" which is hovering around the walls of Parkereburg, Pawnee, Conroe and B'ville, like Hector around the walls of Troy. These important points shoutd not be overlooked by the syndicate. "There's millions in it."
