at Terre Haute there is weeping and wailing and gnashng of teeth, and threatening and swearing and other things too numerous to mention. From time immemorial Terre Haute has been notoriously a wide open town, where everything went and went hard. But it has a metropolitan police system, whose board is under the immediate control of the state. The Governor appoints aud can remove with a high hand. The board at Terre Haute allowed the same old regime to continue, and the saloons were conducted on the same wide open plan as before the metropolitan system of police was adopted. Gov. Mount served notice on the board some time since that the laws must be enforced, that the saloons must obey the law in every particular aud intimated that if the board did not act, that the guilotiue would be run out aud the triggers adjusted for some official blood letting. I he board with sinking hearts heard the news, but it concluded it loved salary better than the friendship of the saloon aud acted. Now the Sunday recreation of Terre Haute has been taken away, the seal brown taste in the mouths of her citizens remains all day on the first day of the week, many of them it is said took to their beds, aud are thinking of sending for Dr. Hurty and inaugurating a search for microbes in the water which they are compelled to substitute for the foaming lager aud fiery forty rod which have been their sole thirst quenchers for years. It is a sad case aud Governor Mount is blamed for it all. But in all probability lie will be able to stand it. He has the law on his side at any rate.

The Tin Plate Trust.

THE

detailed analysis of the tin plate trust in the Sunday Post Dispatch and its relation to the tariff is a most instructive lesson in the origin and growth of monopoly.

This monopoly was "created" as a home industry. It has already cost the people fully $100,000,000, all of which goes to swell the unearned profits of the syndicate. Moreover the plants established with a great flourish of trumpets a few years ago are being reduced in number, thirty of them being abandoned. They served the purpose of deluding the American people until the monopoly could perfect its power. Workmen are out of employment and consumers are paying greatly increased prices for tin plate.

Just how a home industry of this description benefits the country it, is difficult to perceive. The industry has, in fact, been restricted and opportunities to labor reduced by the monopoly. No more glaring example of special legislation and its baneful consequences can be found in American history.—St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Voting Machines Ordered.

fiJlNCE the voting machines proved so useful at the New York elections Indiana has awakened to the fact that they are a good thing. Monday the board of commissioners of Boone county gave a Jamestown, N, Y., firm an order for twentyone machines for $1,200. The Marion county commissioners have agreed to purchase enough for that county, and several counties in the north end of the state are negotiating for them, L'nder the present system it costs about §2.000 to hold an election, while by the use of votiugmachinesit would cost about $150.

Wrote Love Letters.

OM SIMPSON, a teacher of Scott township, is now in disgrace because he wrote love letters to a fourteen-year-old pupil The people arose and demanded that he be stripped of his honors, his school taken from him and an example made of him which would be effective for all time in Scott township. Simpson does not deny writing the letters, but claims justification. He has been deposed and Miss Lola Piercy has been employed as teacher in his stead.

Property Changes.

LAST

Monday John B. Robb, of Joplin, Mo., sold his business block on south Washington st., formerly occupied by Voris «fc Cox, to Walter Hulet, the consideration being $12,000. On the same day Arch Martin, Jr., purchased the brick building occupied by the Lee grocery, fiom D. L. Lee and the heirs of Jas. Lee for $6,000.

Crawfordsville, Indiana, Saturday, November 25, 1899.

Too Poor to Take a Paper. If N exchange remarks: A man who 11 smokes four cigars a day aud II chews 25 ents worth of tobacco & week, said he was too poor to tale a local paper. He is]j a smart man too! This same fellow was getging a Maine story paper and found that by sending a dollar he could get a cure for drunkeness. Sure enough I he did. It was '"take a pledge aud keep it. Later on he sent 50 two cent stamps to find out how to raise beets successfully. He found out. The answer came, "just take hold and pull." Being single he wished to marry aud sent 34 one cent stamps to a Chicago firm to learn how" to make an impression. Wheu the ^answer came it read, "sit down in a pan of dough.' That was a little rough but he was a patient man and thought he would succeed. The next advertisement he read, "How to double your money in six mouths." He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. But he was bound to get some useful secret th?.t he could make money on, so he sent $5 to find out how to write without pen and ink. The answer was, "Try a lead pencil." Then he sent a dollar to learn "how to get rich." "Work like the devil and never spend a cent." This was discouraging, but he decided to try just once more, aud sent a $2 bill to learn how to live without work and was told "to fish for suckers like we do. He takes the home paper and is now happy.

Fooled His Family.

LAST

Saturday uight Bob Middleton, a day laborer living near the junction, filled up on suicide whiskey and staggering home he informed the family that he had taken enough morphine to "kill a boss," and bidding them all good-bye, said he would be with the angels in a fesv minutes. In great alarm the family sent for Dr. Barcus, who found the morose head of the house setting in a chair, moaning aud groaning as though he was already in death's grip. It didn't take the Doctor long to ascertain that the man was playing "possum," that he hadn't taken any morphine whatever, but was only playing the sympathy racket on his family Thereupon the Doctor did just the right thing by administering an emetic large enough to make Aguinaldo "throw up" the Philippines, and the the next time Middleton attempts to fool his family—well, he wout.

Waveland Saloon Fight. R. DAVIS is not to be allowed to have it all his own way in the saloon business. The citizens are becoming interested in the matter, and the more they think about it the less they are incliuad to permit the establishment of saloons, after keeping them out so long. Rev. C. Travis gave a spirited talk on the sub ject last Sunday night, and Rev. Mr Burkhardt also referred to it, and wii lead the fight against ..it,--.-Independ-ent.

Lady Raven is now seventeen years old and is in foal to Axtell.

A Parson's Pipe Dream.

f"EER things occur sometimes, aud

strange things are seen by those

laboring under mental excite1 ment. The latest story comes from Rochester, Indiana. Rev. M. L. Shideler, pastor of the Evangelical church, claims to have received a visit from the devil. For the past month Mr. Shideler has been conducting a revival service at his church. During the progress of the revival meetings he claims to have spent much time in an upstairs bed-room, praying that he might be the instrument in the hands of the Lord to influence the young people to forsake their sinful ways and seek salvation. He announced from his pulpit that ou one of these occasions he heard a hissing noise at his back, and, upon looking around, saw the devil in person, in all his picturesque hideousness. fire flashing from his eyes, and his satanic majesty commanded him to cease praying, saying that the young people of Rochester belonged to him, and that uo effort could wrest them from their power.

"Peter Porcupine."

LETTER from an old citizen of thr- county, now managing editor of a large daily newspaper in another city) informs us how much he enjoys the workof "Peter Porcupine" aud adds. "TheREviswis better now than ever in its history. I consider it the very highest class of weekly journalism." This is a compliment which is much appreciated coming from the source it does. We also clip the following from the Waynetown Dispatch, as heading an article from Peter's sayings: "Among the many pointed and pungent sayings of Peter Porcupine, Jr., in the Crawfordsville

59th Year, No. 15

A flontgomery County Reminiscence. PEAKING of meteroic showers," said Wm. Galey in a retrospect, tive way, the other evening, reminds me of a story I have often heard my grandmother tell of the 'rain of fire' of Nov. 15, 1833. My grandfather lived in Montgomery county, a few miles south-west of Crawfordsville. The pyrotechnic display was so vivid that the sturdy pioi e3rs, not having been previously warned by the astronomers of the unusual visitation, thought the end of time had come. "It happened that one of grand--father's neighbors borrowed of him a' bushel of salt which he had beenrather dilatory in paying back. A bushel of salt in those days wasjquite an item. While my grandparents were out of doors viewing the wonderful display of flying meteors, who should loom up in the distance2ibut their conscience-stricken neighbor bearing on his shoulders the heavy load of borrowed salt. Laying down his burden he said in a faltering" voice: 'Here, neighbor, is the bushel of salt. I should have returned it sooner, but as the end of the world has come, I do not want to go before the Great judge with a sack of salt charged up against me.' The incident served to make the man more punctual in the future. It also created so much sport as to form one of the amusing reminiscences of by gone days."—Monon News.

Dingman Gone.

R. J. O. DINGMAN, of Linden, was, last week, found guilty in the circuit court of stealing corn, and was released on bond pending motion for a new trial. The doctor has left the country it is said, and has left no trace behind him. He went away Friday night, aud his wife denies all knowledge of his whereabouts. Mr. Hawker, who is on his bond for $250, is much exercised over the physician's failure to be seen about his old haunts. The friends of Dingman claim that he was dazed from the effects of morphine when he took the corn, aud was not responsible for his actions, as he had become confirmed in the awful habit. They a'so claim that envious eyes were resting on a business block owned by the doctor and the affair was being pushed in the hope that it might, through the exigencies of the suit, pass into their hauds. However this may be, the doctor is not in sight at the present time.

And They Find It.

"Hunting for Hawkins" is a first class play, but when ladies are in. quest of first-class, up-to-date millinery they hunt up Miss Wray, at the Y. M. C. A. millinerp parlors. Miss Wray has been correctly christened "the fashionable milliner."

While working on the residence of William Reeves, last Saturday morning, D. C. Hunter fell from a scaffold and received injuries which will lay him up for several days.
