Street Fair Attraction.

ONE

of the great attractions of the Crawfordsville street fair The Big Store, L. Bischof, 127 and 129 East Main st., the largest, finest, best equipped and most up to date dry goods store in the state is worth coming miles to see, and is only one of the many attractions of the greatest street fair on earth. It has been fifteen months in building and is perfect architectually and in its conveniences. Lighted by almost 2,000 incandescent lights, for which was required over eleven miles of wire: heated and ventilated in the latest and best manner: supplied with two hydraulic elevators and pneumatic cash tubes it would be hard to find a store more convenient for shopping. Ladies will find toilet and reception rooms, cleanly and restful, and we invite them to make the store their headquarters.

Bring your wraps, bundles and lunch baskets and make yourselves at home whether you wish to buy or not. If you wish to trade you will find our fifty departments well stocked and prices are guaranteed to be correct at all times. It pays to trade at The Big Store.

Broke Into Jaii.

APERIPATATIC

piano tuner

named E. W. Waterman, has been hanging about the city for some time, doing his best to wrest a living from the world without hard work. During the fair he filled up on the stuff that inebriates and had a jail experience, and this week, he varied his usual program by giving his wife a threshing for which he looked again through bars. What a pity the wife-whipping scoundrel, whoever he may be, cannot be publiclly flog' ged for his punishment. At least he ought to be made crack stone a few weeks, and then sent out of town with orders to remain away.

No lady should purchase her fall hat before seeing the beautiful new styles at the Y. M. C. A. millinery parlors.

Untied the Love Knot.

A BOUT the time the little chickens •r* first began to crack the shells in the early spring, there came a court ing from the State of office holders and Mark Hanna, one Fidelana Whithair, whose brow had been kissed by the blasts of some sixty-five winters, begun to coo softly to Elvira Chilcote, of W ingate, a widow whose summers numbered several above 45. So well he pleaded his cause that the first thing Elvira knew she was standing before Judge West in open court, in the midst of a trial and pledging herself to him for better or worse and a whole lot of other things, and the next train took her off to the old man's "castle in Spain" over in Ohio But scarce had the honeymoon passed o'er their heads until Elvira was back in her old haunts sorry she had been^ compelled to repent at leisure over her hasty tying up. Fidelana proved to be a rusty old fraud. So she brought suit for release. They were the first and only couple Judge West ever married, and disgusted he raised the cleaver high above his head and brought down on the knot with a resounding whack. He had hoped the judicial glue was of better quality.

A New Oirectoay.

SOMETHINGthe

long needed is to be

furnished people of Crawfordsville, in the shape of a new city city directory, material for which is now being collected by Messrs. Frank J. Murphy and Frank P. Nelson. The new directory will be made as nearly perfect as books of that sort can be made. It will be a complete city and county directory, and in addition to names of men every married woman's name will follow that of her husband. Every person over fourteen years of age will be located. A street directory will be added, and all the suburbs will be taken in giving to Crawfordsville in the way of population what of right belongs to her. These gentlemen have a splendid plan, which, when worked out will givs to the city a directory which will be re liable. They should receive substanstantial encouragement from our people, in the way of subscriptions to their work, as it will be a necessity to every business man.

Kumagai Dead

ALL

our citizens living here at the time .of his residence among us, will remember Ivomanisuke Kumagai, the Japanese student, graduatin, from Wabash with the class of '90. The following self-explanatory letter has been received from his father by Dr. J. F. Tuttle:

Tokio, Aug. Aug. 27, 1899.—My Dear President Tuttle:—I feel sure that you will remember my son, K. Kumagai, who was one of your students some years ago. I know also that you will share in my sorrow 'when I tell you that after an illness of three years he has at last passed away. I take this opportunity to thank you for the kindness which my son ever experienced while he was a student in the college, and which lie himself never forgot,

Sincerely yours, N. Kdmaoai

Death of Mrs. Rankin.

DIED—Tuesday,her

Big Family Reunion.

/~\N last Tuesday there was a big reunion held at Elder Jonathan aucleave's home 2h

Vancleave many more years of useful life. Notwithstanding his age, he is a remarkably well preserved man, both physically and mentally.

Dr. Kane Selected.

rvR. W M. P. KANE is the successor of Dr. G. S. Burroughs as President of Wabash College. The trustees of the college met on Tuesday last and formally elected Dr. Kane to that honorable and responsible position. The selection was by the unanimous vote of the trustees. Dr. Kane was not present. The newly elected president will assume the duties of the position at once. It is understood that concessions have been made giving the president more discretionary power than has been the rule in the past, though no radical changes have beep made in the conduct of the institution and it will still proceed along old and conservative lines to a marked degree. Authority has been centralized somewhat. The new president comes to the college with no handicaps, as he was the choice of the trustees, faculty, students and alurnso there should be no jars in his administration. Dr. Kane is thoroughly'familiar with the college and its resources, and acquainted with the field from which its students are drawn. There [seems to be nothing the way of harmony and steady

growth for Wabash.

Off For the Philippines.

CRAWFORDSVILLE

miles west of

New Market. There were 417 persons registered their names and partook of dinner in the woods, where Jong tables had been prepared to accommodate the crowd. Before dinner Elder Airhart delivered an address an hour long, suitable to the occasion. Immediately after dinner^the crowd was addressed by Elder Jonathan Vancleave, who will be 94 years old if he lives until the 13th of November next. Elder Vancleave is the oldest man in Montgomery county, and the last one of the first settlers of the county. His address was relative to the first settling of the county, and was an exceedingly interesting history. Hon. M. D. White, of this city, delivered a short address at the close of Elder Vancleave's discourse. Excelleut music was rendered during the day by Messrs. Burgess, Browning, Dickerson and three Vancleaves. Pictures were taken, by George Stilwell, of this city, of Elder Vancleave, his children, grand-children and greatgrandchildren. The day was most enjoyably spent by all who attended. The crowd was large over and above those who partook of dinner on the ground, and all^were exceedingly well entertained, and left wishing Elder

sent a dele

gation of twenty-nine young men to the Philippines last Monday. They were recruits for the 11th Infantry, and were recruited from this city and vicinity by Capt. Ketcham. They were escorted to the train by the band and Zouaves. There were many tearful farewells spoken, and the train pulled out for Indianapols followed by cheers. They will be sent at once to the Philippines. The mosf of them were members of the 15Sth Indiana, whose taste for army life is not yet satisfied. The enlistment is for two years, and they will see service in far distant lands. We hope that everyone of them will return safely home, and that each one may bear back with him honors won.

A Wicked Qun.

FRIEND of Mont Kennedy has sent him a Mauserrifle, captured from the Spaniards in Cuba. Mr. Kennedy has been experimenting with the gun and finds that it is a very wicked piece of machinery. With it he sent a ball through 25 inches of solid oak and buried the ball so deep in the bank behind he couldn't tunnel it out. It will send a bullet through a large tree at from 50 to 75 yards range. Visitors to the street fair may see the gun and some of its wicked work at Otto's store.

Maggie Was Hoodooed.

jyi A GGIE CLARK has filed a claim the circuit court against the estate of B. F. Clark, late of Clark township, asking that her husband, Walter Clark, be made Benjamin's heir to the extent of $8,000. She claims that in the years gone by while she was Maggie Strickler, a spinster with an eye to business, Walter came courting her. She sized him up and concluded that he presented but few points indicating that he was the sort of chap best suited to her needs as a husband. His prospects for owning carriages and horses,and dressing himself and wife in purple and fine linnen were not good she thought, and turning a deaf ear to his protestations of love, and the presumably broken heart, she promptly turned him down, and cast her matrimonial telescope in another direction, to discover the fairy prince with a larger pocket book or a rich dad. The news of Walter's sad," experience in love making reached the ears of his foster father, Benjamin Clark, now dead, and the old gentleman came to her and said that he had legally adopted W7alter, and that he would make him his heir to the tune of $8,000. This looked more like business and she reconsidered her' heartlessness, called her lover back to her side and then married him, all on the promise of old man Clark to come down with the cash when he was done trading with it. She claims that relying upon this they cared for the old man through his last years and second, childhood but when he died, behold he had not fulfilled his promise and,

the trusting bride with distress saw his blood relatives carrying away the estate she thought she had, for Mr. Clark had never legally adopted her husband at all. She now wants an $8,000 slice of the estate. This is a sad case of misplaced confidence. She now sees where she was buncoed and can say «i "Of all the suckers that ever bit,

I've a sneakln notion that I am it.''

Not Called.

IT was supposed that Rev. W. E. Loucks, formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian church in this city^ would be called to Frankfort. He had occupied the pulpit for two consecutive Sundays, and his friends were not prepared for what happened. Great opposition was developed in the congregation to his coming. The Frankfort papers report a very nearly even break in the congregation on the question. One hundred and nine votes were cast, of which 57 were for the call being extended to Rev. Loucks, and 52 against it. As majorities do not rule and a call must be .unanimons, the matter has been dropped. •.

Newtowner in Jail.

LEO

RICE, of Newtown, now lies in jail under the grave charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. He sold a buggy on which there was a vendor's lien for $15, hence his trouble. He was arrested the other day and a Waveland Dogberry released him on the ground that, being a citizen of Fountain county, he could not try him for a crime committed in Montgomery. The last arrest was on information. For the beuefit of ignorant justices, there should be an extradition treaty arranged with adjoining counties.

The Big Fair.

ATTENDANCE

at the street fair

next week promises to be immense. Word is coming in from every town within reaching distance that large delegations are coming. The management has been busy book ing attractions, and there will be amusement and recreation for all who come. Hagenback's trained animal show undivided, will be here, the same that was at the World's Fair. If next week's weather is at all propitious, there will be the largest crowd in Crawfordsville ever seen here.
