""pHE REVIEW is the oldest newspaper in the county. It has beeu in operation for 60 years. Our price for subscription and advertising is fixed. Of such a paper, the Newspaper Maker, a trade journal, says: "Nothing in the world is more tenacious than newspaper circulation.

An old newspaper seldom loses its circulation through competition. If others get circulation, it is usually not at the expense of an old newspaper, but at the expense of the reading public. If they get business, it is not at the expense of an old established paper's rates, but at the expense of the business men who pay twice, or something like it, for the same thing, that is, for the same or almost the same circulation."

Big Fire at Ladoga.

I ADOGA was the victim of disastrous fire on last Wednesday, and for awhile it looked as though the entire business portion of the town would be laid in ashes. The fire broke out in George Case's undertaking establishment, and all efforts to put it out seemed unavailing, and soon the entire Odd Fellows' block in which the store was located was aflame. Help was telephoned for and Roachdale responded. Just as that engine arrived the Ladoga engine broke down. After a long and hard endeavor the flames were put under control, but the Odd Fellows' building is a total wreck. The K. of P. hall on the west was badly damaged by smoke and heat, as was the saloon building on the ealt. Immediately across the street all the plate glass windows of the New York Store were shivered by heat and entails a loss of $1,000. Kyle's stock of goods, two doors from the fire was ordered moved by the insurance agent, and was badly damaged, by dirt, smoke and bad handling. The loss is estimated at from $35,000 to $50,000. Loss on Odd

Fellows' building $15,000, insurance, $6,000 George Case, loss $4,500, insurance $2,500 Edgar Ashby, damage to stock $3,500, fully insured loss to K. of P. building and hall $2,000, insured loss on plate glass $1,000. The glass was all broken in the stores of Jas. Knox, New York Store Ladoga Carriage rooms, J. G. McDaniel, Zimmerman's store, Foster's drug goods store and the Merchant's Bank. The loss of S. F. Kyle on his stock of goods will amount to considerable as it wasjmoved by order of the insurance agents, and was badly handled, rolled in the dirt, broken and smoked. The Odd Fellows, Masons, G. A. R.,

Woodmen, Eastern Star and Rebeccas lost all their furniture and paraphernalia, while the K. of P. suffered considerably. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as there was no fire about Case's

Mrs. Stafford Dead.

FTER along and tedious illness Mrs. G. W. Stafford, wife of Rev. George W. Stafford, died at the family home east of the city Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Stafford wa£ well known in this county where her husband has been a preacher in the Methodist church for so many years, and since his superanuation they have resided on their farm just east of the city proper. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.

A Liberal Giver.

NE of the most liberal givers iu Indiana is Simon Yandes, of Indianapolis, who gave to Wabash college its splendid library building. During the past year his benefactions reached $21,000. The latest is $10,000 given to the Home Mission board of the Indiana synod, to be used in Sunday school work in Indiana- The Presbyterian church of Indiana has cause to revere the memory of Simon Yandes.

Fell Down Stairs.

FEW days ago, Mrs. Lizzie Hernley, wife of A. H. Heinle: slipped and fell from the landing the full length of the stairs, where she lay unconscious lor sometime until picked up by her husband. She was badly bruised, her nose broken and an eyelid was terribly torn, necessitating several stitches. She is now improving and will be out shortly.

Suspended Publication.

THE

New Richmond Enterprise has suspended publication and has been taken in by the Record. The Enterprise was a newsy sheet and by far the neatest paper published in the north end of the county. We are sorry to see it yield up the ghost. The subscriptions will be filled out by the Record.

'i he Women Got the Most. POURING the last statistical year, there were 3,483 divorces granted in the State of Indiaua, and during the same period there were issued 25,057, marriage licenses. One divorce was granted last year for every seven marriage licenses issued, and the present statistical year starts off with excellent prospects of beating that record. Of these divorces, the wives secured 2,521, and the husbands 962. The cause of 903 of them was cruel treatment. These statistics are food for the student of sociology.

The Copper's Little Bill.

A TAILOR'S bill when presented by Tom Clark so insulted and worked on the feelings of officer Jas. McCoy, that he had Clark arrested for provoke. The case was dismissed after McCoy had had time to think what a fool he had been. Clark had been furnishing McCoy clothes ever since his appointment on the force iu 1898, and the whole bill amounted to $67, of which McCoy had paid $30 in sums ranging from three to six dollars. It was the balance of $37 that made trouble asking for it caused the arrest of Clark.

She is Now Named Foster.

Foster, a brickmason employed on ?he Crawford building, and recently became a citizen of Crawfordsville. Her decree of divorce from Thomas F. Little was handed her Wednesday afternoon, and a few hours later she celebrated the event hy marrying Mr. Foster. Squire Buck officiated in his usual happy and felicitous style.

Used Billiard Cue. "Scott" Sullivan drunk arid correspondingly hilarious, on Tuesday night, ran amuck in the booze-fighting theater of Ed Allen, and Allen layed him out with a gentle tap on the head with a billiard cue. Quite a cut was made in his scalp but he will recover without much trouble, and likely with but little more judgment than he had before. Allen received the usual application for such fractures of the law in the Mayor's court.

Gets the Pension.

DEFORE the death of Wesley Fouts he had made application for an increase of pension to $50 per month on account of the fact that he was slowly dying from his injuries. On his death the claim was rejected and his widow appealed to the Secretary of the Interior. The decision was reversed, and she will receive $50 per month from the time of the application until the death of her husband.
