Crawfordsville, Indiana, Saturday, July 29,1899.
TTHE contract for the great cellulose factory at Linden was let at Boston last Friday to to Carr & Wert of this city, and work will commence at once. The buildings will be fire-proof, and will cost $150,000. Besides the cellulose factory there will be a large paper mill and a distillery. The men in charge of the enterprise claim that it is the intention to absorb and work up every ear of corn and every cornstalk within a radius of twenty miles of Linden. It is also claimed that 500 men will find steady employment the year round. Land has gone up in price about Linden, and $100 per acre has been refused by some persons in that vicinity for land which ten years ago was under water. If the concern proves to be what is claimed for it, Linden will have street cars before Crawfordsville and become the metropolis of the county.
The Picnic.
THE
Big Four Picnic here on last Wednesday was well attended by perhaps 5,000 persons from Indianapolis and Chicago. They held undisputed sway at the fair ground, aud if they didn't have a good time it was their own fault. Several fights occurred during the afternoon on account of a too lavish use of hop productions and tangletoot. It was not as orderly on the whole as a Sunday school picnic would have been, though a Crawfordsville paper makes that affirmation.
A Broken Leg.
ICKING horses, mules and cows are dangerous, but a darkey who kicks is just as bad. Eugene Jackson, a colored boy employed by Lew Hornaday, attended the picnic Wednesday and at the fairground was attacked by Clint Patterson a well known young darkey, who accused Jackson of talking about his mother. It all ended in Patterson kicking Jackson on the shin and breaking his leg. In the excitement Patterson got away, and is staying away.
"One More Unfortunate." I AST week, there died in the poor house of Clinton county, a young woman born and raised in this city, andjj who was one of the chief of the demi monde here, Jessie May Bly. A few years ago she ruined a man named Howard, who died here about two years ago. The woman finally landed in Frankfort. She had consumption and the trustee removed her to the poor house. She having no relatives nor friends in that city, and none here who cared to do anything for her in her dire extremity, and those who knew her, decided, perhaps, that she had forfeited all claim on them for consideration, so she must bear the cross her own hand had made. She was only one woman of those "eternal priestesses of society blasted for the sins of mankind." The body was buried in the potters' field, attached to the poor asylum. Two questions in such cases always come up, viz: Could she have been saved? and Did anyone ever try to save her?

WEDNESDAY
Whitefolks.
young gentleman of color filled up on fighting whisky and armed with a club was strutting like Cetawayo down the street wanting to fight. He finally struck at a group of young men on ^Washington street and knocked off the hat of one. That moment his misfortunes commenced. The crowd took after him armed with stones, clubs and anything they could pick up, and he took a Nancy Hanks gait up the street, only to land in the arms of Marshal Brothers at the Sherman House. Whitefolks was scared until bis complexion was green. He was put in jail and the next morning was given thirty-five days on the stone pile.

CuMent Events.
Contract Let at Linden.
N colored circles there is blood on the moon. Henry Arnold, cook at the Robbins, complains that one Joe Mitchel, a colored charmer, who is working on the Crawford building, has hoodooed his wife, Julia, and she has followed him away and abandoned himself and the children. He claims that Mitchell is an altogether "bid nigger," who has a wife at Louisville. Julia was yanked up before the Mayor, who gave her to understand that he considered her actions naughty in the extreme, and informed her that if she was caught on the street with Mitchell, there would be "dead oodles' of trouble found for both of them.
Runaway Accident.
THURSDAY
morning at Wayne-
town occurred a runaway which will probably result in the death of Robert McCormick, the 18-year-old son of James McCormick, who resides five miles south of Waynetown. The horse became frightened at a brick pile as the young man and his brother drove by in a buggy. Robert stood up in the buggy and a desperate lunge of the horse threw him forward over the dashboard. He held to the lines, however, and was dragged a considerable distance before the thoroughly frightened horse was stopped. He was badly cut and bruised, his skull fractured aud internally injured. The physicians attending have no hope of his recovery.
George Flannigan Dead. EORGE FLANNIGAN died at his home, near Darlington, Tuesday evening last, of consumption, at the age of 50 years. The deceased was a veteran of the civil war, serving in Company B, 120th Volunteers. He leaves a wife. The funeral was in charge of the G. A. R., at Young's chapel, Thursday afternoon. Rev. A. Plunkett, of, this city, conducted the religious services. Interment at Tapp cemetery.
Going to Leave Us. Adventisfcs, who the corner of
THE
Seventh Day have held forth on
Pike and Marshall streets for the past six weeks, will fold their tents and leave this city next Monday. They have been faithful and persistent preaching to audiences ranging in number from five to fifty, but their peculiar doctrines have failed to impress themselves seriously on those who heard them. They will probably have better luck somewhere else.
Death of Anna E. Hall.
MISS ANNA E. HALL died very suddenly of heart disease at the family residence on south Grant Avenue at 11 o'clock Sunday night. Miss Hall's health had been poor for some months, but she was thought to be improving. Miss Hall was the eldest daughter of the late George W. Hall, and was born at Waynetown, but her parents moved to Crawfordsville when she was quite young, and her girlhood was spent here. Later on they removed to Battle Ground where they resided for fifteen years. Miss Hall fitted herself for teaching and was employed for a long period in the Lafayette schools, until ill health forced her to resign her position. The famly in the meantime had moved back to this city, and she returned to her home here where she remained until her death. She was a devoted member of Center Presbyterian church and a teacher in its Sunday school. The funeral occurred at 9 o'clock Wednesday from the family home. Interment at Oak Hill.
Called a lialt.
TUESDAY
a couple of youngsters
on whom the suns of only a few summers had shown, and who were cock sure that the old adage "Love laughs at locksmiths, bolts and bars" was true, made their escape from vigilant parents at Veedersburg, and came over here or went some other place with the intention of committing matrimony. J. F. Butt, the fa. ther of the damsel, has sent Clerk Sparks notice that license must not issue to Barck Payne and Lilly Butt, as she is not of age. Thus it is that cruel parents often smash the happiest dreams of callow youth, and make the oasis a desert.
Wilder Brigade Monument.
THE
celebrated Wilder Brigade will dedicate the monument to that fighting company at Chicamauga Park on September 20. The Brigade contained four regiments, namely, the 18th, and 72nd Indiana, and thG 93rd and 123rd Illinois. It is confidently expected that there will be 500 survivors of the Brigade in attendance. Tables will be placed for each regiment and the battery. The survivors of the 72nd in this section are all going. Gov. Mount will make an address.
Tilghman R. Enoch Dead.
TILGHMAN
R. ENOCH died on
Tuesday last at his home in Huntington, Ind. Mr. Enoch was formerly a wellknown citizen of Crawfordsville, having at one time been a member of the police force. He was married to Miss Flora Gray, and they resided while they lived here on Bin ford street. The remains were shipped to this city on the Yandalia and were taken to the home of his brother. Darwin S. Enoch. The interment was at Oak Hill cemeterv.
No Encampment.
THE
big State encampment, of the Uniform Rank, K. of P., which was to have been held at Spencer Park, at Logansport, has been declared off after due deliberation on the part of the officials. The main reason for the abandonment of the scheme is the imposibility of securing tents for the accommodation of the visitors.

58th Year, No 50
Contempted the Court.
gQUIRE WRIGHT'S dog case was tried before Justice Long at Ladoga, the other day before a'jury of "good and true" peers of his.' Among them was J. C. Long. Mr. Long listened with the patience of Job to the dull testimony in the petty case, all forenoon. The jury were dismissed for dinner and [instructed to be promptly on land at one o'clock. By this time Mr. Long had had enough, and thinking that his corn needed attention worse than the law suit, went home. He was seen no more'Jfor two days, and then was called to answer to the charge of contempt. He had thrust a rail in among the cogs of Justice Long's legal machine and smashed it. The penalty for such a crime should be nothing less than the punishment prescribed by certain newspapers for anti-ex-pansionists—"one hundred lashes on the bare back."
They All Want Him.
THE Methodist churches of Brazil
1
and Crawfordsville are both figuring [on securing Rev. C. L. Bentley for the coming year. Rev. Kiudig has expressed a desire not to be returned to Brazil, and Dr. Brumbaugh has left this city, and it seems that in casting about for a successor, each city wants the same man. There will be a hot time in the conference town, this year, when the forces of the two towns arrive. ..
Death of Harry Deere.
I-IARRY DEERE, son of William Deere, aged 18 years, died at Indianapolis at the home of his father Tuesday. The body was brought to this city and taken to the home of Win. T. Whittington, from where the funeral occurred Wednesday. Services were held at Freedom church. Interment at same place.
