What will SAP0LI0 do? Why it will clean paint, make oil cloths bright, and give the floors, tables and shelves a new appearance. It will take the grease off the dishes and off the pots and pans. You can scour the knives and forks with it, and make the tin things shine brightly. The wash-basin, the bath-tub, even the greasy kitchen sink will be as clean as anew pin if you use SAP0LI0. One cake will prove all we say. Be a

Bound for Joplin.

Jonas Miller and Jake Joel have gone to Joplin, Mo., to begin the development of the twenty aores of lead land leased from Doherty & Robb. They represent the syndicate composed of themselves and Louis BiscliolT and Dr. I. A. Detchon. May they strike it rich and spend their wealth in Crawfordsville,

"Will Rebuild at Once.

Ed Reynolds and John L. Williams have leifc for Michigan City to purchase lumber for anew elevator. The work will be begun at once and the elevator will be of the finest pattern. The zeal of this lirm cannot be too highly commended and it is to be hoped the oity will extend every help to their enterprize it can.

The Lead Fever.

Our citizens are getting the lead fever. Besides those already mentioned in THE JOURNAL as having invested in lead land at Joplin, Mo., are Louis Bisohof and Jonas Miller, who have just leased 20 acres. Zach Mahorney D. J. Woodward, James E. Evans and W. T. Miller, Dr. E. Detchon are out there prospecting.

Death of Ellis Branson.

Mrs. L. F. Hornaday and Walter Pickett received a telegram Thursday announcing the death by typhoid fever of their brother-in-law, Ellis Branson, at Bridgeport. They left for that place at night. Mr. Branson was one of the leading Prohibitionists in the State and was nominated at their late convention for Treasurer of State.

Mr. Keller Again.

David Keller, of Fountain county, who was arrested for provoke here about a month ago but sent home as being of unsound mind is again under arrest. John Shaffer the man who caused his arrest before has again been threatened by him and again has put him in jail.It seems that Keller passed the lunacy commission in Fountain county without trouble.

Not Tom Nolan of the Sherman House The Tom Nolan who so frequently figures in the police court for his besetting sin of intoxication is not tho Tom of the Sherman House nor any connection of his. He probably worries more over the faults of his namesake, however, than his namesake himself, as hordes ot his friends accost him with, "I hoar you've been druuk again Tom," whereas mine host never takes anything stronger than the ioo tea of his bounteous table.

Dr. Hickman's Story.

Dr. W. H. Hickman assorts that he was wholly misquoted by the Indianapolis Journal reporter from Rochester. Ho gave little or no ground for the sensational report. Ho never said the Nogro ought to bo oxnelled as he does not believe that. Ho did not attack the Federal election bill as he believes it would bo a great thing for the country ii properly framed and universal in its application. He does not like the bill as it now stands, but said nothing against it at Rochester. Tho whole thing arose out of Rev. Wilson calling attention to the fact that a prominent Demoorat contributed to the Freedmen's Aid Society.

NORMAL ITEMS.

Joe Ccons is here from Buono. Mr. Biddle will come from Tippecanoe next week. l'rof. J. ]. Evans, of Waveland, was visitor Monday.

A large number of students are expected next week. Henry Lamb is representing Lossing's Cyclopaedia in the normal.

There was no training Monday on account of the balloon ascension. The normal is growing, soven now students came in last weok and five this.

Politics are high. Profs. Pattison and Higgins are arranging for a joint discussion on free trade aud protection.

If the normal continues to grow it will be an old-timer in numbers enrolled and not at any rate fall short in interest and character of work done.

Coal Creek sends the largest delegation of any out township. Among the number are Michael Foley,Clara Mitchell, Emma VanCleave, Effle Alexander, Stowe Phillips, W. S. Vaughn, May Donovan, John F. Harrimau and E. E. Utterback.

From this date on there will be ten minutea intermission between classes. This was the rule in former normals but owing to the amount of work and class interest has so far this year been overlooked. Time will now be given,, to take a breath and get a drink.

AN ELOPEMENT FRUSTRATED.

By Five Children—A Mother's Love For Her Offspring Eises Supreme at the Last Moment.

David Best and Mrs. Isaac Booher, the former of Garfield and the latter of Darlington, started to elope one day last week and got along very swimmingly until they reached Crawfordsville. Here the woman declared that she would not go a i-tep farther unless* her gallant oompnion would return and get her five Bmall children who would mourn a mother's loss at home. This was too much for Mr. Best. In fact it must have bested him. He was big enough and brave enough to elope with one woman, but the idea of eloping with a whole family was too much and he rebelled. Thus the engagement was broken off and the interested parties returned to their respective wafe and husband. Neither of them bears a very immaculate reputation in Darlington. For the past month or two they have been running together to the soandal of the neighborhood. Mrs. Booher's husband is known as "Black Ike" on a.count of his dark complexion and Mrs. Best is a quiet, respectable woman who deserves abetter husband.

Miss Helen Mount Entertains. On Wednesday about 40 young people drove out to the spaoious country mansion of Hon. James A. Mount where they were royally entertained by Mr. Mount's daughter, Miss Helen. Elegant refreshments were served and a delightful time was had by all. Among those invited were the following: Misses Louise Brown, Anna Burns, Ruth Duckworth, Byrde Dillman, May Wasson, Ada Epperson, Edith Guthrie, Daisy Guthrie, Mattie Hostetter, Miss McElree, of Columbus, Ind., Minnie Richmond, Luoy Talbot, Carrie Shaver of Shannondale, Lulu Williams, Bertha Thatcher, Sattie Wasson, Edith Wilhite, Flora Kostanzer, Edith McLane, Myrte Irwin, Lizzie Birch and Messrs.

Herman Kostanzer, Mort Brockman, Hiram Connard, George Housor, Guy Steele, Leon Brower, Omer Cox, John Bruce Luckett, Harry Voris, John Kostanzer, Joe Shaver, Pat Clark, Whitford Hills, Charley Williamson, Frank Lane. ..

Schumann Quartetto.

Dauville Press: The Schumann Quartetto sang here in Kimber church last night to a largo and appreciative audience. Time and space forbid a lengthy comment, but suflice it to &u,y they are each artists in their lino, Miss Starr deserving especial mention. The quartette is as good as Yale and Harvard and compares very favorably with the famous Schubert, of Chicago, and if they see fit to sing a return date here they will receive a hearty support." The Quartette sang the seooud time at Danville also at Paris, and now have four return dates to make in tho near future,

"Husband, I Want Vou t-o Try It." I had suffered for years with a complaint the physicians called Gravel, and they had givon up the attempt to help me. My wife heard of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite ltemedy, of Roundout, N. V., and spoke as above. To please her I got a bottle. Used that ami two or three more, and presently tho trouble! vanlshod, never to return Washington Monroe, Caskil], N. Y.

BENJAMIN KESSLER.

Further Particulars oi tho Hailroad Accident at Ladoga. As stated in our special telegram last Tuesday Benjamin Kessler was lulled by tho south bound Monou train which passes through Ladoga shortly after 2 o'clock. He is very old but still was in tho best of physical condition, excepting that he was extremely deaf. It was this infirmity that caused his death. His farm adjoins tho track and is about one riiilo north of Ladoga. He was walking to town on tho ties as no doubt ho had done hundreds of times before when the train came along. It was on an up grade but the engineer ignorant of his deafness supposed be would stop aside and of course did not show up. Immediately after the aocident the train men brought tho body in and it was taken care ot by the undertaker. Both legs were brokeu at the ankle and the skull was terribly crushed, one being forced clear inside of the lioad. Coroner Coppage arrived about 6 o'clock and took the evidence of a few witnesses but of course could not get tho train men's testimony until later. Tho general opinion was that nobody was to blame.

Benjamin Kesler was about 80 years old and tho general expression of sorrow among his near neighbors is enough to prove to all others that his long life had a useful and worthy one.

Ho moved hero in 1S-17 with his family from Virginia and settled in Soott township, where by industry and strict business ho aroso to one of wealthy farmers of Montgomery county. He was the father of fivo sons, ono of whom, N. G. Kessler, was for a long time trustee of Scott township. Ono daughter made her home with her father bofore his death.

VISITING STATESMEN.

Three

OovinEcton Oouncilmen Visit Our Oity to Get Points. Geo.W. Merriman, Voorhees Sponco and N.G. Harlow, Councilmen of Covington, wore here Tuesday. Sir. Spence is a son of John Sponoe and was named after the Tall Sycamore in the days when John belonged to the Knights of the Golden Circle, and Mr. Harlow is a brother of W. D. Harlow of this city. They came to examine our sidewalks, gutters, crossings and general drainage system. Covington has never used tiling at all and has never had any system of street improvements. Recently, however, the Council passed an improvement ordinance and tlioy propose to change radically the condition of five of the principal streets. Tho gentlemen first called on ex-Mayor Stilwell who piloted them to Mayor Carr. At the city building they ascended the tower and took a bird's eye view of the city. Councilman Scott then took them in charge and several hours wore spent in walking over tho town. They expressed themselves as much pleased, especially with the cohooi buildings. The college was visited. Tho .visitors returned on the evening train.

Under Difficulties.

Tuesday afternoon a young gentleman of pleasing address in company with an elderly gentleman appeared in the Clerk's office and applied for a license. The young lady was not of age and the elderly gentleman was her father, present to give his consent. As the papers were eAout to be issued the young gentleman, who looked to bo twenty-five, stated that ho was not of age. Here was a barrier. His father was dead, he had no guardian and his mother lived in North Salem. It was decided however to telegraph to tho Clerk of Hendricks county to obtain the consent of his mother. The answer to the message was to tho ellect that tho Clerk lived in Danville to no permission could bo obtained until this morning when it came all right. Tho young gentleman again came in but meanwhile his prospective father-in-law had go.'ie to his home at quite a distanco without leaving his written consent. The groom was again obliged to hustle oil and bring him in. They arrived next afternoon and the license was procured without further trouble.

To Oamp at Pine Hills.

Immediately after tho return of the Kingfishers tho following jolly party of young folks will take possession of their place for a season: Misses Fannio Watson, Mamo Hills, Zetta Kennedy and Mary Morgan and Messrs. Frank Mahorney, Harry Morgan, Iko Elston Walter Grubb and J. Sebastian McFaddon. The party will be in charge of W. W. Morgan and wife.
