Voting Machines.

The Siander Suit.

EVER

round

about have been investing in voting machines, notably Boone county. The last legislature passed a law authorizing voting machines, which reduce tlie expense, of holding an election very materially, and also give the results much more quickly than the old method of counting. The great feature of the machine is, that it reduces the chances of fraud to a mini" mum. It is quite likely that the commissioners of this county will purchase machines for all the voting precincts in the county. There are now *13 precincts and under the law these will be increased for the next election.

They can be reduced at least one-half by the introduction of machines. Onehalf of the election expenses will be saved. The cast to the county at the last election was $-1,000. Boone county bought 21 machines at $600 each. Should we get them at the same rate, the cost to this county would be about §14,000. The representative of the

United States Voting Machine Co., one which has been tested, will be with one of his machines at the court house in this city on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week, and !1 every citizen of the county is invited to call and vote on it, registering his vote for or against the purchase, so rthat the County Board may be intelligently guided when it comes to consider the question. The vote in Boone county was ten to one in favor of the machine.

Mr. Coons's Card.

FOLLOWING

the peculiar plea of

school teacher Simpson, Frank J. Coons, the father of the girl cards the papers, and what he does to Simpson is a plenty. He tells how he had befriendedf|Simpson, allowed him the privileges'of his home, helped him to procure position, and had been in all things a father to the young scamp, and how|after all this he had been betrayed. It shows up Simpson to be a bad egg and one whom it is safe to let severely alone. 7

since Monday the slimy length of the Emily Cox vs.

John McCain suit for slander has dragged itself across the stage in full view of the public. A large part of the public, however, seemed to revel in its detail^, as the room was crowded with those eager and anxious to listen to the matters brought out in evidence, and quarreled about by the attorneys. Tne facts in the case are about as fol ows Some 18 years ago a Quaker preacher by the name of Coltrain had his headquarters in the Quaker settlements about Darlington and Thorntown. He, it is alleged, was quite sweet on Miss Emily Cox, daughter of Wm. Cox, a rich farmer in that section. The attention or the public was called to the close communion of Miss Cox and the preacher, and it at last broke out in gossip detrimental to the character of both parties. It was also alleged that the young woman was spirited away until such time as she could come back to safely face htr accusers, while the preacher was brought before the

Sugar Plain church and dealt with according to the penalties prescribed for such offenses by that body of religious people. This scandal was hawked about the country by gossips for sometime, or until something else attracted their attention, when they flapped their wings and off they llew to settle down to some other carrion barbecue. In the rush of business the gossips had forgotten Emily Cox and her affair until last winter a young man alighted from the train.

He was a stranger and inquired the way to Win. Cox's. That was enough. Immediately some ancient croaker remembered the old story, and rolling the morsel under his tongue, he lost no time in informing his next friend that "Emily Cox's boy, that child born in Iowa so mauy years ago, had come home." The days passed and each day and each gossip added a little to the story

They had the boy at Cox's. They had the old man and Emily glad to see him. They had the old man buying a drug store and setting him up in business all sorts of tales were in circulation. This would have been all right, but the young man in ques tion turned out to be a real estate agent from "Iowa who was looking after some business matters, and not Emily's boy at all

If she ever had one this was certainly not he. Still the talk raged. The

heard the story, and as it sa

vored of the. romantic, and would have made a good basis for a 19tli century society novel, it was written up, care being observed not to mention any names, nor to even tell the location of the story. One of these papers got into the hands of the Cox family, and a hasty resolve was made to make someone smoke. They started out to find the author of the tale. They discovered that John McCain bad told in Larrick's store that Emily Cox's boy had come home, for Rosa

Buskirk had said so. Rosa had no wad, but John had, so they went after John in au amazing manner. Suit was brought in the circuit court for damages, and it has been on trial all week. The parties to the case are all well-to-do people,

have been re­

spected by their neigh bars and acquaintances heretofore. The case is being hotly contested, and honors will be even, no matter who wins. One thing has beeu developed in the caseand that is that Darlington has about as many old grannies and champion ship belt gossips as can be found in any town of its size under the sun. They like to stir in matters which scent the air, the clothes, and the character. A limburger cheese factory or a skunk farm wpuld be welcorned over there.

Business Change.

"The Brown drug store has been one of the institutions of Crawfordsville for years. It was formerly operated by R. K. Krout, and of later years by T. D. Brown & Son. The old stand was sold this week to J. A. Muriette & Son of Ladoga, for $1,000. They will operate both stores and are now at work overhauling and rearranging their new purchase. This store has been the meeting place of congenial spirits for years, and every evening the great questions of the day have been discussed and disposed of in a highly satisfactory manner.

This store was the lodge-room of the far-famed Ananias and Sapphira club, which numbers among its members Gen.yWallace, Judge Snyder, and in fact every prominent citizen of Crawfordsville who could be induced by the gang to draw the long bow. It is the removal of a landmark.

,The Old Cow Balked.

of much local note, while leading the family cow to water irritated the old beast presumably by dinning in her ears the great speech he is preparing on expansion and prosperity for the next campaign, and to show her disapproval of his argument,tripped him .with the halter and threw him down, breaking one of the bones in his arm. He will be able to appear however be fore the county convention as a candidate for representative.

Marriage Licenses.

The following marriage licenses have been issued by the Clerk our last publication:

James M. Ragan and Breaks. Charles B. Gilliland and Elizabeth Gott.

Samuel G. Grimes and Ora Davis. Charles A. Cox and Mary E. Case. George W. Alvord and Mary A. Baker.

Shrum Knocked Out.

THE

case of the C. C. C. & St. L. Ry. vs. John L. Shrum has been reversed by the Appellate Court. Shrum had been awarded by the Court the sum of $128 some time ago on account of collecting a rebate of taxes from the county for the railroad. The road set up the plea that it had never employed Shrum, and won out. It will probably now return the rebated taxes to the county, and play fair all around.

A Promotion.

the resignation of the Superintendent of the Atlanta and West Point Railway and the Western Rail- taken the way of Alabama, Fred Huggius, for- Tribune, inerly of this city, has been promoted to the position. Fred has been resident engineer of the road for many ynnrs and his promolion is the reward of faithful service.

Must Remove Him.

TIIE

officials of the. State Board of Charities have ordered the removal of Robert Green leaf from the county asylum. The reasons are that he is a minor and that he is a weakminded person. The boy is a kleptomaniac, and will probably be sent to the Feeble Miuded institution at Fort Wayne.
