Crawfordsville, Indiana, Saturday, September 16, 1899.

the dry bones rattled

about the township Trustee and the town of Clarks Hill was amazing. It seems from the returns that a new school building was erected by the township at Clarks Hill several years ago, and immediately Clarks Hill was incorporated and her schools taken out of the township's hands. During the years of the town's incorporation new school houses have been built all over the township, including one ?10,000 house. For none of tlais was

Clarks Hill taxed, because she was incorporated when the new houses were all built then Clarks Hill took advantage of the law and threw her schools back ou the hands of the township. The school house was condemned, and preparations went merrily on to build a house which was estimated to cost all the way from $18,000 to 585,000, and have the township foot the bills. The taxpayers arose en masse and swooped down on the township council the other day and the new Clarks Hill school building was knocked higher than a kite. Loud wailing and knashing of teeth is going up from Clarks Hill, but the rest of the township is happy, and" are blessing the reform law which gave them a chance to get even with Clarks

Visited Conference.

A

DELEGATION from the First M. E. church visited conference at Frankfort to do a little log-rolling to secure a preacher. Bishop Hurst, wh^ was presiding officer, knows how to keep his own counsel, and they returned as full of information as when they started. S. W. GOSB, of Michigan City, was sent to this city. Mr. Goss has the reputation of being a strong man in every line of church work and will be quite an addition to the ministerial forces of the city.

rtethodist Preachers.

AT the annual session of the Northwest Indiana Methodist conference. held last week at Frankfort, the

following appointments were made: Presiding elder, H. Cisse!. Avon, T. J. Reeder Colfax, F. M. Pavey: Covington, H. N. Ogden: Crawfordsville. First church, S. W. Goss: Trinity church, H.

year and has con­

tracted for the sum of to have the pupils of that district hauled to No. 10. This will effect a saving to the township of $200 or more and it is expected besides that the consolidated school, being larger, will do a more efficient work than the two smaller ones would. If the plan proves as successful as is expected, the trustee will nest year abandon ten or twelve more schools hauling the pupils to the nearest school houses. This would save the township at least $2,500. The trustee's plan was approved by the advisory board and appropriations made accordinglv."

The New Ordinances.

THAT

new ordinance book claimed the attention of the city dads at their meeting on last Monday. The contract had been let for a year. The REVIEW kept calling attention to the fact that it should be out, and at last the contractor got a move on him and hired a firm to do the work. The book is promised soon. The trouble is cow laid at the door of the poor printer, and they accuse him of being "jagged," thus delaying the work. If delays are caus&d by "jags," who was "jagged" before this printer took hold of the work?

Bischof's Opening.

DISCHOF'S new building was thrown open to the public Tuesday evening and several thousand persons thronged the immense structure ffom basement to roof, admiring everything. This building is one of the biggest, best and most convenient in the state, not excepting some Indianapolis houses. The four stories are crowded full of goods, from, the best to the cheapest, so that any size of pocket book can be accommodated. Swift elevators ply from cellar to roof, carrying passengers and freight. The building is lighted with 1,^00 incandescents, 27 arc lamps and 300 gas jets. Eleven miles of wire was used in putting in the light plant. There are fifteen pay stations in the building, all communicating with the cashier by means of a pneumatic cash system consisting of one mile of brass tubing. Arrangements to blow warm air through the building in winter and cold air in summer are complete and successful. The people of Crawfordsville are justly proud of the new and elegant home of the Big Store, and

IN the Indiana-Illinois Base Ball League all is not serene. The pennant is claimed by both Danville and Mattoon, and each town is charging the other with disreputable work in the matter. Danville makes the charge that the Terre Haute and Bloomington clubsdeliberately turned the last few games over to Mattoon in order to beat Danville out of the piece of red calico, while Mattoon comes back with the charge that Crawfordsville deliberately gave the last four games to Danville to save it. So the merry war goes on. Men are taking sides and getting hot under the collar who would not do so much for their wife or their church—perhaps it will be settled without bloodshed.

Balloon Bursted.

IT is only a question of time when every fellow who fools with balloons makes his last ascension, and he is picked up a mangled mass from the! ground. Thnrsday the aeronaut at the fair grounds had a narrow escape from death, and it may terminate fatally yet. The inflated balloon was cut loose and arose carrying him with it attached to the parachute. When he was about even with the tops of the trees the balloon suddenly burst, and he shot like lightning toward the ground. He was picked up bruised, and unconscious and conveyed to t3wn where medical attention was given him. He sustained a severe strain of the ankle and an ugly gash on the head.

IAJL-O

last Alba H. Braden

died at the home of his sister in Frankfort. Mr. Braden had been in poor health for a long time and his death was not unexpected. The deceased was born in Clinton county in 1S39. He came to this city when quite a young man and made it his home until a short time ago. He was never married aud his immvdiate relatives consist of brothers and sisters. He was a jovial, good hearted, companionable man, well liked by everyone. The body was buried at Spring Grove cemetery, Lafayette, on Tuesdav.

A Serious Atistake.

*JNDAY night last, C. E. Lacey, not feeling well, concluded to take a dose of calomel. He took down the box aud swallowed four tablets, which later on proved to be morphine instead -of calomel. Mr. Lacey was alone at home but discovered what he had done in time to telephone for a physician. To his presence of mind he owes his life.

.Mr. (Julliher Again.

ON

Wednesday O. H. Gulliher was captured by the police and hustled off to durance ville. He had sufficiently recovered from his forcible contact with the sidewalk on Labor Day to be out, and was dressed as a hobo, advertising for some business firms on the street. He t*ok on more chain lightning whisky than was good for him, with the above result.

Tracing a Murderer.

jMEARLY thirty years ago Alexander Jester murdered his traveling companion in the state of Missouri and robbed the body of its valuables. The murdered man was engaged to be married to Jester's sister. Jsster was arrested and convicted of the crime and sentenced to death but made his escape and was not heard of until a short time ago when his sister, in a fit of contrition informed the Oklahoma authorities where her brother was located. He had done well, had married and raised a family now grown and married. Jester now nearly 80 years of age and feeble was arrested and carried back to Missouri for trial. Thursday C. J. Weiss, a detective visited this city searching for evidence against Jester for the state of

Missouri. He says he

had driven through from Wichita. Kansas, and in every town through which Jester passed he had discovered his tracks. He came from Hillsboro to Crawfordsville, then to Lebanon and on to Noblesville. His business was exhibiting a buffalo calf iti a small tent. The state of Missouri is sparing no pains to convict the octogenarian. Mr. Weiss had very little success in this city, in procuring evideuce.

Bad Runaway.

^yjONDAY night a pair of horses attached to a cab, became frightened and ran away, and at last hauled up against the house of Mrs. Endicott in Fiskville. They ran the tongue of the vehicle through the side of the house and into a bureau which was knocked across the room, upsetting a 6tove and threw the whole business onto abed in which calmly reposed one of Mrs. Endicott's sons. The room looked as though it had been visited by a thirteen inch shell from one of the big guns of the Indiana.
