Xiooking out over the many homos of this country, we see thousands f'f, of women wearing away their lives in household' drudgery that might be |§j| materially lessened by the use of a few cakes of SAf OLIO. If an hour is saved each time a cake is used, if one less wrinkle gathers upon th»f j/' face because the toil is lightened, she must be a foolish woman who would hesitate to make the experiment, and he a churlish husband who would grudge the few cents which it costs.

Divorce Suit,

Mrs. Lizzie Morrison Las through her attorneys Coppage & White applied for a divorce from her husband, Wm. H. Morrison. She alleges in her oomplaint his failure to provide, abusiye language, charges and general cruel treatment.

(Jhoir Picnic.

The Methodist church choir picniced at Flat Hook Tuesday afternoon. Eegant refreshments were served and a royal time enjoyed by all. The following persons attended: Messrs. Davis, "White, Durham and Keegan, and Misses Martin, Darter, Harmon and Mrs. Charles Tichnor, of Rockville.

Murdered a Pig.

Joseph Wasson, of near Brown's Valley was up before Justice Ramsey charged with having wilfully and maliciously taken the life of his brother Shelby's pig. Mr. Wtisson didn't think he could get justice in Union so the case was sent to Squire Goslin, of Brown, where it will be tried next Monday.

To be Kemoved.

There is a vague rumor to the effect that Gen. Wallace contemplates removing the unsightly "fair ground" fence whioli surrounds his beautiful home, on Elston avenue, and replacing it with a neat iron fence. Gen. Wallace has one of the handsomest and most picturesque homesteads in the city but the fence in question shuts out its beauties to all except those on the inside.

Frank Snider Married.

Frank Loveless Suider was married August 0 in New l'orii City to a young lady of that village whose name we did not learn. They "will take a wedding trip to South port, Ind., the groom's home, and after sojourning there a few days will go to Siam as missionaries. Mr. Snider graduated from Wabash college in 1886. He is the sixth man of that class to marry.

Mow The Weeds.

There is a stretch of side walk on Liberty street where the weeds have grown so tall that their branches meet over the walk making it impossible for the ladies to pass without soiling their dresses, especially in the morning when the weeds are wet, and they are compelled to flee to the middle of the street. Why not enforce the ordinance requiring proper ty owners to mow the grass and weeds.

Of Interest to Teachers,

The Danville Normal makes the following proposition: To that teacher •who has never taught and who passes the highest examination at the close of the ooming institute tuition will be free for one term.

The Lebanon fair association extends a cordibl invitation to all teachers to be present there on teachers day, August 19. Admission to them will be free.

CRAWFOllDSVILLE. INDIANA, SATURDAY, AlHUiST », 18»«.

BATTLE GROUND.

Grand Army Day Tuesday—A Charming Resort. The oottagers and visitors at the Batrtle Ground resort are in one oontinal round of intellectual and physical enjoyment. The grounds are moBt charmingly located in the midst of a beautiful grove of native and transplanted trees, and richly carpeted with blue grass. Art and nature have oombined to make it a most attractive spot where once a year for two weeks the busy cares of life may be thrown asMe, and where friend can hold fellowship with friend. The literary programme this year has been a "feast of fat things, wine on the leas well refined." Among those who have contributed mental pabulum are Prof. J. M. Coulter, Dr. Robert Nourse and John Clark Ridpatli. Tuesday was Grand Army Day. A large number of veterans were on the grounds, drawn thither to hear tho eloquent and patriotic Gen. W. H. Gibson, of Tiflin,Ohio. The old General is a "spell binder" and for two hours he held his audience, alternating between tears and laughter.. Everybody felt it was good to be there. In the uftoiiioon Governor Hoy03" delivered a ieugthy address on 'Pensions and Pension ii as I. N. Walker in a most eloquent talk on the "Grand Army of tho .Republic." Three minute speeches were made by Judge Dan Waugh, Col. W. C. Wilson and Rev. W. P. McKinsey. In the evening the audience was entertained by John Clark Ridpath in a most scholarly and able address on the 'CitizenSoldiery." Next day was Farmers' Day and Hon. James A Mount spoke on "The Farmer asFactor in the Government. This' week closes tho Assembly exercises and next week will bo devoted exclusively to religious meetings. The Cruwfordsviile contingent is in the festive swim and all are in tho full enjoyment of the environments of this most charming resort. Persons who can take a day off, or for that matter two days, will be delighted with Battle Ground.

OUR PAIR.

Preparations Being Made By the Association to Surpass All Previous Successes. If the Montgomery county fair is not the most flattering success possible this year it will not be the fault of the management. Year by year it has been growing popular favor and the mistakes of one year corrected the next until to-day well nigh a perfect organization has been reached. The crowds have always been large but this year it will be larger than before. Lavish advertising, railroad recognition in the way of low rates and excursion trains, together with the known high character of the association will effect this. Excursion trains will be run from as far" south as Bloomington and correspondingly in other directions. Again exhibitors are this year stimulated as never before by the fact not only that the prizes are substantial but that the judges in every department will be experts and strangers. The poultry exhibit will be by far the finest ever given here and additions are now being made to the house. The entries in the Bpeed ring are numerous and first class. No shows will be allowed on the ground except those that are reputable and first class. The three balloon ascensions and parachute leaps will be themselves worth the price of admission. We bespeak for the association more than tho liberal patronage from the people of our county.

Tuesday's Fire.

At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon the fire department was called to tho valley where lire was raging. The fire alarm was so late in coming in however that two stables had been consumed when they arrived. The stable of Marion Watts which contained a valuable §15 horse and the stable of a Mrs. Crowe were those destroyed. A good pressure was given and after putting out the embers the department returned. Marion Watts asserts that it was tho work of an enemy and will probably have some one arrested for arson. He has not been living at peace with the entire neighborhood and thinks some of the neighbors' children took this playful method of squaring aooounts with him'.

"Don't Care to Eat."

It is with the greatest confidence that Hood's Sarsaparilla is recommended for loss of appetite, indigestion, sick headache, and similar troubles. This medicine gently tones the stomach, assists digestion and makes ono "real hungry." Persons in delecate health, after taking Hood's Sarsaparilla a few days, find themselves longing tor and eating the plainest food with nexpected relish.

MORE TEIiRA GAS TALK.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS REQUIRED.

A

Line to Oome by Way of Thorn town and Darlington.

The talk of piping gas to Crowfordsville has been revived. It is now proposed to pipe it from the fields of Hamilton and Tipton oounties, running the lino by way of Kirkliu, Roeso's Mills, Thorntown and Darlington. The gentlemen who have been at tho head of the enterprise from its inception,Messrs. A. F, Ramsey, A. W. Hatch and W. J. Craig, have been unceasing in their labors to make it an ultimate suocess. Nothing has boon loft undone to interest foreign capital in tho scheme. Mr. Mr. Hatch is now in New York and Wednesday evening sent a telegram to Mr. llnmsay to have t.ko City Council extend the time for beginning work lifty days. Mr. Ramsay had assuriuioes from the majority of tho Conucil that this would be acceedod to. In about an hour afterward ho received a second dispatch which read as follows: "Get 8100,000 subscribed. I will raise the balance." TJpou tho receipt of this telegram Mr. Ramsey deemed it advisable to call a meeting ol' tho citizens at the small court room to tako steps looking to the raising of tho subscription The hour being lato not many persons were seen and tho meeting was not largely attended, but the few who were present were enthusiastically in favor of going earnestly to work and raise tho required amount. John M. Schultz presided. A freo-for-all talk was indulged in and after the situation was explained by Jr. Ramsay it was voted to appoint

11

committee consisting of A.

F. Ramsey, C. M. Crawford and O. M. Gregg to prepare subscription papers aud present them at a meeting to bo held next night at the same place. It is thought the necessary subscription of stock can easily be secured at this city, Darlington and Thorntown. It will re--qttire "abOTt $850^)001 to put ill the plant, and if foreign capitalists will risk §250,000 home capitalists should be enterprising enough to put in the balance, especially when the investment promises good returns. This is probably the last and only opportunity for Crawfordsville to secure the much coveted terra gas, and it behooves every citizen who has the good of tho city at heart to encourage the projected enterprise. Let the people awake from their lethargy and put on the garments of aotivi ty and push, and energy. A bright and prosperous future is in store for Cruw fordsvillo if her citizens will but re member that. 'There is 11 tide In the allalrs of men,

Which taken ul the llooil, leads on to fortune Omitted, nil the voyage ol' their life. Is bound in shallows and in miseries."

A Nervy Order.

Tho section foremen on the N. A, & C. Railway have been Instructed by tho management to cut all trees along their sections within fifty feet of the track on either side. In pursuance to this order the foreman of the Bection working south from this plaoe started out last Tuesday to lay low all the trees along the Monon railway and taokled a fine elm on Elston avenue near the Pike street bridge to commence with. A oitizen living near by suggested that the tree in question was not on the property of the railroad and ho had bettor not out it. He appealed to Mayor Carr, who thought it best to lot tho tree remain standing. If tho lailroad company would instruct the section men to look after the road bed, ties and rails and put those in order and then lay off all incompetent telegraphers employed put competent men in their places living wages, there would bo fewer wrecks and disasters on that unfortunate road. The company might get better work from the section mon if tho pay was any inducement to work. But one dollar per day men are not apt to kill themselves pulling out old ties and putting in now, so thoy oontont themselves with scratching a little hero and thero along their sections.

NEW MARKET.

A Little Town With a Big Boom—What One Factory Will Do. If a person has any lingering doubts as to whethor a factory will benefit a town or not lot him visit New Market. That little plnco lias more than doubled its population in tho last year. Lntt August tho population was about 200. Tho recent census shows it to bo -155. The principal business interest of course is tho spoke factory which is ono of tho supply stations of the American Wheel Company, of Indianapolis. It employs 110 meu. The new superintendent is John O. Finch. The foetory is shut down now for a few days while a new engino is being put in. A sawmill stands right next to tho spoke factory and has just been purchased by the :\.morioau Wheel company. Tho new housgs, small but neat and pretty, are very numerous and a hotel hard by the handsome Yandalia statian is being constructed. Two brick business blocks ornament tho main street besides numerous framo store rooms. Tho lv. P.s havo their hall in tho second story of ono of tho brick blooks. Two cliurehes,

Methodist and Christian, are in full blast and a Baptist ohurch is in course of construction. Not a saloon exists '. and what is more no liquors can bo obtained at a drugg store. Tho temperanoe sentiment iB Btrong and preaila thoroughly. A building a8Booiatioh is "tone" of the institutions cf Now Market and is no Binall factor in her prosperity, Tho Now Market band under tho instruction of Prof. Fred Swoitzer is gotting to bo famous and will shortly take a trip to Maxinkuokeo.

The Orabbs & Reynolds Suit. Tho Indianapolis Journal has the following to say concerning the suit of Crabbs it Reynolds which was filed there yesterday: "Crabbs & Reynolds, of Crawfordsvllle, owned a large grain elevator in that city, valued at 8y,000, and containing i?4,500 worth of grain. It was destroyed last month by fire, and yestoraay they filed an intervening petition in tho federal court in the suit of tho Atnorioan Loan and Trust Company of Now York vs. The Crawfordsville Water Works Company. They claim that the receiver of the Water Works Company, who is in possession of the works under an order from court on furnish water according to the city ordinance during the reoent elevator fire. Tliey allege that though the elevator was only fifty feet high there waB no stream thrown sufficient to reaoh the top of the building, and that had there been, the fire could have been extinguished before doing much damage. In consequence of this they ask the conrt to make them an allowance of $5,000, to be paid out of the water rents paid to tho receiver of tho water works com pany by the city and citizens."
