Our gravel roads are much better, smoother aud nicer every way, than the streets of Crawfordsviile —fact! I suggest that P. P.

REVIEW,

HOUSE

Crawfordsviile, Indiana, Saturday, December 9, 1899.

It is lieed-

ss to say that we agree with him in every conclusion he arrives at. It was written by a man w.'ll known in this county, but who has been a nun resident for a number of years, aud we do not give his name because the letter was not written for publication.

MY DEAR REVIEW:—You

are what

my old friend Bart Grogan. deceased, late of Putnam county, would have called, "a Dandy Dinky from Kalamazoo," and no mistake. To speak seriously and truthfully, (and I would not resort to anything else, for I have no axes to grind,) the

under

its present management is the best aud highest toned paper, and comes nearer being my idea, as a weekly, than any publication I ever saw. It seems to me every emanation of "P. P. Jr." and each editorial, (aud I presume they are both written by one and the same person,) are correct, reflect my views exacly, and written just as I would have done it if I were a newspaper man. I am afraid we will loose this good writer on the

for I am thinking he will be rec ognized and promoted. I could not say nay, for, although not personally acquainted, I have the best of feeling for ''P. P. Jr." in particular, and the entire regime in general. As I want to be perfectly frank, will say I have only seen one thing published to which 1 could enter an exception, and that was in regard to the "good streets" in Crawfordsviile. Great "hevings," P. P.

Jr., have you traveled

the streets of Crawfordsviile in any manner, except afoot? If you have not get some kind of a go-cart aud take a trip over the streets, and I am sure if you are suffering from indigestion, (and you may be, brought about by sedentary habits,) it will surely help you. What you say of Mart Smith, in connection with the streets, or anything else, I heartily V. VJ11LA 1 tUi for I Wdvo Uno'trn lflUC and well, he is one of God's noblemen, a good citizen in everything the term implies a sturdy democrat, and what is still more attractive to me, a G. A. R, comrade can't say anything in Mart's favor I will not indorse, only that Mart, or any one else, has made Crawfordsviile good streets might as well sing psalms to a dead equine, or talk professi ^al ethics to a giraffe stuffed with straw, as to try to make me believe that, when I am almost jolted to pieces every time I come to town, as soon as we get to the streets.

The Early Bird.

E have an old adage which de- I clares that it is "theearly bird I catches the worm." The man 1 who is on deck with his sails all spread will be much more likely to catch the favoring breeze than the fellow who lies becalmed and never prepares for what may come. The business man who advertises during the dull season is more likely to get what trade is going than the fellow who waits until the busy season and then when he has all the trade he can handle, takes half a page in all *he papers for a few weeks. Early in life this proverb had been seared into the brain of Jas. B. Elmore, the bard of Alamo, aud he took advantage of 'the occasion at the Teachers' Association to strike while the iron was hot in behalf of his newly issued book.

When Dr. Cleland had concluded liis address on "Books and Reading," Mr. Elmore arose and addressed the teachers on good literature, told of the perils aud privations which attended successful authorship, how the midnight, oil was burned,and how the deepest fountains of the soul of genius were often broken up by the criticisms of an unjust aud unappreciative public. He told how the fantastic children of the brain were scoffed aud treated by a public which had not reached the point where it could feel with the author. He closed by informing the teachers that he had some literature fresh from the mint which he could recommend as good. No better had ever been offered to the people of any country, aud opening his grip he offered the books for sale. He had taken the tide at its flood and it had bore him on to fortune. He sold out his supply in a few moments, and had orders for a large invoice of extra copies

Death of Mrs. T. D. Brown. ONDAY morning at ?:20 o'clock, Mrs. Theodore D. Brown died at the family home on west

Main street after a protracted

and tedious illness, aged 65 years. Mrs Rrmvn ivoq nutiuo rf chusetts, being born in Lowell, that State, June 15, 1834, aud was married to Theodore D. Brown, at Crawfordsviile. October 24,1854. Her maiden name was Caroline Switzer. She was one of a family of seven children, but one of whom survives her, William Switzer, of Illinois. Mrs. Brown was the mother of three children, Win. S. Brown, and Mary E. Brown, of this city, and Fred T. Brown, of Indianapolis, who with their father survive her. Mrs. Brown was oneof the oldest members of the present congregation of Center Church, and a christian woman in every sense of the term. Her memory will long remain a sweet savor to those who knew her well. The funeral took place on Wednesday from the family residence, conducted by Rev. J. A. Alexander. Interment at Oak Hill. Burial private.

I hope, however, Montgomery will come up smiling yet. for it is never long behind in any manner of improvements. There is not a better county in the State. It is far in advance of most of them.'

Railroad Case Affirmed. N the case of the C. C. C. it St, L. Ry. vs. the town of Waynetown, the Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the lower court. udge Had ley in rendering his decision says: (1) "A property owner whose property in a town has paid no municipal taxes, can not enjoin the collection thereof on the ground that the county auditor improperly certified it as liable for township taxes and such taxes have been paid. (2) One who ap peals to a court of equity and invokes crs" its extraordinary writ of injunction must rely on some substantial equity and cannot avail himself of mere irregularities by which his substantial rights were not affected. (3) A railroad whose line extends through a town is bound to know that it is liable for town taxes and can not escape paying them by the payment of township taxes, which are illegally assessed.

Utterback-Harlow

N Thursday evening last occurred the marriage of L. J. Utterback and Miss Clara Harlow, at the residence of Jere Harlow, near Wesley. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. C. Henson, of Waynetown, in the presence of about 40 guests. The wedding was followed by an elaborate supper. The groom i? a well-known young farmer of Wayne township.

New Books.

NEof the attractions in a short time will be the public library. This institution will be enriched soon by 500 volumes of the best books. The committee has been sometime making' the selections, and the order has been sent in. This will be quite an addition to the shelves, and furnish mental pabulum for winter evenings in many homes.

Fireman's Ball.

the P. O. S. of A. Hall on Thursday evening was given

the an

nual Firemen's Ball. The music was furnished by Music Hall orchestra. There was quite a number present and a pleasant evening was spent. The projectors came out even, and the affair was considered a sue-

Death of Elmer Stewart. TEDEGRAM was received by W. C. Stewart, Friday morning last, announcing the death of his brother Elmer at Denver, Colorado. The deceased was an unmarried man and was traveling in the west. The remains were brought to Darlington for interment.

Points in the Utah Case. NTERVIEWS with many members

of Congress indicate that the majority will be in favor of getting rid of Mr. Roberts, of Utah, although he may be permitted to take his seat, the question of expulsion coming up afterwards.

Some of these interviews are perspicuous, in that they put the case "in a nut-shell."

Mr. Curtis, of Kansas, says. "The continuance in polygamyjis an unlaw ful as the contracting new mairiages."

Mr. Reeder, of iiic s.ime state, says: I think it presumptuous in a lawbreaker to wish to pose as lawmaker, and I think was presumptuous in the State of Utah to choose a polygamist to represent her."

Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, says: "We cannot fail to recognize that polygamy is abhorrent to our people, aud that it caunot receive official endorsement."

Mr. Neville, of Nebraska, says: "I don't beljeve that polygamy has the right to exist anywhere under the American flag. If Roberts is seated lias he not the right to bring all three of his wives here to Washington aud to live with them openly?" Mr. Neville struck a key note in that remark. He will observe that Mr. Roberts has been smart enough not to take even one of his wives to Washington. The presence of his entire family at the capital would, unless the cranks are right about our capital being devoid of moral sensibility, produce a storm of indignation that would make it hard for Roberts to stay himself.

Mr, UnderhilJ, of New York, says:

!'I

am. of course, opposed to polygamy, but I doubt the legality of Roberts' expulsion. I fear, too, that it would furnish a bad precedent. Next year they may want to expell a man because he is a Hebrew or a free silver man. If the people of the United States want polygamists kept out they shoul pass a general statute, or should convict Roberts of a crime, aud not exp?l him through sentiment." Not il- auuga, mr. underbill of establishing a precedent for the expulsion of men on account of race, religion or economic beliefs, though it must be confessed that the present Congress will probably practically expell a number of members because they are Democrats or, rather, because their seats are needed to make a Republican working majority. That, however, is the common practice in contested election cases. The people

of the United States, through their Senators aud Representatives in Congress, have already passed a general statute which in the belief of many able men, makes Mr. Roberts a bigamist and doubtless Mr. Underhill would regard bigamy, pure and simple, as a sufficient ground for expulsion.

Hon. James A. Norton, of Ohio, says: "I am opposed to polygamy, in Congress or out of it, in the United States or in any territory over which it exercises jurisdiction. I do not believe that what is a felony in Ohio should be permitted in Iowa, or that what is a crime in Utah should be countenanced in the Sulu Islands.'' Now we are getting right down to the hard-pan question again. If Congress "fires" Roberts, it must, io be consistent, take notice of the recognition of polygamy in the Sulu Islands. The Sultan of the Sulu Islands, who is under a salary from the Treasury of the United States, has a rather more offensive harem than Mr. Roberts maintains, though the moral principle involved is substantially the same in both cases.

Congress has a troublesome queestion on hand, and doesn't know what to do with it. The moral and statutory laws are getting mixed, and the most adroit trimmer cannot untangle them.—[Enquirer.

Book Settlement.

N the aggregate, the book settlement of the Trustees with the County Superintendent, amounted to $4,704.51, of which Union paid $2,627.16 Brown, $235.36 Clark, $221.60 Coal Creek, $294.64 Franklin, $355.48 Madison, $488.55 Ripley, $139.85 Scott, $118.38 Walnut, $93.24: Wayne. $300.25. This would indicate that knowledge was being earnestly sought for the urchins of Montgomery county, whether they take it when provided or not.

59th Year, No. 17

David

B. Hill,

A\ ID B. HILL is said to be ready to climb upon the band wagon at last. Defeated in his attempt to control the State Committee, and finding that Elliot Danforth, John Stanchfield, George Palmer, Norman E. Mack, Johu F. Gaynor and nearly all of his old time allies aud trusted lieutenants were going in with Mr. Croker to support Bryan, he felt that the time to abdicate had arrived, aud his surrender is said complete. Norman E. 'Elliot Danforth have quoted as saying that

to be

Mack and both been

saying that Mr. Hill is

ready to fall in with Bryan and support him next year, and Mr. Hill hasn't denied it. Mr. Hill, so his friends say, sees that everthing is going Mr. Bryan's way, and that if he doesn get into line pretty soon the procession will be so far past that he will never be able to catch up to it. While Mr. Danforth doesn't say so he tacitly admits that free silver will be subordinated as an issue next year, and added: "If the fight is against imperialism and trusts, as seems likely, then Mr* Hill and Mr. Croker will be found fighting side by side with a united Democratic party behind them. I think we are all agreed upon what the issues shall be. The Republican party has furnished us with them, and I doti think the Republicans will be able to able to stand successfully upon their record. The Democrats of this state will be united next year as they have not been since 1892. This is neither a Hill nor a Croaker victory, but an indication that all Democrats in the city and state are going to work in harmony."—New York Tribune.
