A GOODLY HAUL.

A Wajrnetown Gentleman Loses $400 by a Ulever Robbery—No Olew to the Thief,

Waynetown is still maintaining her reputation as a sensational town. Last week Thomas C. Courtney, residing in the suburbs of that place, was the loser of about $100 by a skillful robbery. When he awoke this morning he found the door of his house open and his jiockot book containing $300 and a $30 chock on A. J. McCormick was missing. There is no clue to the tliief and some believe the family was chloroformed, as no one was awukened when the house was ransacked. It is supposed the robber secreted himself in the house some time during yesterday while the amily wore all absent, and when the family were asleep quietly accomplished his purpose and loft by the door which he was not even gratefel enough tc close to protect the inmates from taking cold.

A Difficulty.

Mr. Shrader, of Shrader Brothers, Indianapolis, came to this city Monday and arrested Ed Barr. Ed has been employed in Shrader Brothers grocery house for seme moths past and was arrested on the charge of pettit larceny. A large amount of money has been missed, and Mr. Ban- has been accused as the author of its disappearance. Alsorts of absurd rumors have been circu lated in regard to the matter, but the friends of the young man are confident that he will come out all right. He lived for along time in this city and was employed by Vancleave A: Houilhan. No one ever left the city with a better record, and none who knows him believe him guilty.

The Pottery Industry,

The proposed pottery manufactory at this place, mention of whioh was made in The Jouknal of Saturday, the Indianapolis Journal makes the following comment: "The establishment of a pottery manufactory at Crawfordsville is, we belidve, something new in the industrial line for Indiana, the decorative tile factory in this city being the only ooncern of a similar character. The clays found in various parts of the State are said to be of kind suited to the making of line pottery, and the new venture has an opportunity to win a business success aud at the same time a reputation for making a distinctive class of wares.

"Death of Mrs, Eliza J. SandersMrs. Eliza J. Sunders died at the homo of her son-in-law, E. T. Dorsey.at the Central school building, Monday at 12:20 o'clock a.m., the cause of death being cancer of the stomach. Mrs. Sanders was born at West Union, O., S-jpt. 10,1820. She joined the M. E. church when she was only 13 years of age, and has been a faithful member ever since. She has two children who survive her, a son Wm. T. Sanders, of Kinsington, 111., and a daughter, Mrs. Allie A. Dorsey, of this city. The funeral was held at her late home at tho Central school building Tue iday at 2 o'clock. Services by Rev. G. W. Switzer. Interment at Oak Hill.

WHY!

WHEREFORE.

The virtues or merits of a remedy for pain do not consist in Its being as good for relief aa other remedies, but

in tho fact that it is better. In being more prompt and sure, and therefore the best for the specific purpose. It is not an idle catchline that strikes the eye thus:

ST. JACOBS OIL THE GREAT REMEDY FOR PAIN, IS THEZBEST.

It is tho best euro for all aches and p&im, and it holds

THE TRUE PROOF.

To this specific fact Archbishops, Bishops, Clergymen, Lawyers, Doctors, Governors, Generals, Senators, Members of Congress and Legislatures, C, S. Consuls, Army and Navy Officers Mayors and Officials, testify and unite in saying: "We Buffered pain

OTHER REMEDIES FAILED, and St. Jacobs Oil curctl promptly and permanently." For the same reason

THE POOR MAN

fmds what he seeks and needs, is not deceived »nd will have it at any price.

THE AI SHIP-

QlifF 17oris Writes Some Interesting Facts Ooncerniug ths Future Vehicle of Travel. To tlioEiliior I'lie .lourn.il:

Mt. Cakmeij, ill., Deo. L(i, 181)0.—No doubt the air-sbip is the chief topic of conversation in aud around Crawfordsville, as it is in all this part of the couutry. From the lirst time any item in the papers was published relating to the air-snip, it was thought to »11 be talk, and that there was uothing in it. But such is not the case, the people in tliis c.ty aud towns surrounding are highly elated over the fact that they will soon be Hying over the country at a rate of speed of two hundred miles an hour.

It is not a rumor but a true assertion that such is the process of construction at the present time, but it yet remains to be seen if tho iuveution will be a success.

The company have purchased'23 acres of land in the vicinity of Mt. Carmel.on which tlioy will eieot their factory for the construction of the air-ship. Tho first tral trip will be made in about sixty days, and no doubt will bo witnessed oy thousands of people.

An enclosure one by throe hundred feet and sixteen feet in height is now being constructed in which to build the "wonder of tho ago." The purpose of this enclosure is to keep out all disinterested parties.

This wonderful invention was made by a Mr. E. J. Pennington, who is quite a genius and a skilled mechanic, who says that beyond a doubt the question of navigation through the air has been solved. The stock of the oonipiny is said to be §20,000,000, all of which hus been subscribed. For Pennington's invention he is to receive stook in said company to the amount of $1,000,000. It is rumored that $60,000 was oll'ered to thom to locate at some other point, but the ofl'er was relused.

The ship, as it is so cailed, is 180 feet in length and 28 feet in width, aud capacity to carry fifty persons, so a person can form an idea of what a sight it will be Hying through the air at such speed. I could give a detailed description of tho ship, but it would iuuko quite a lengthy article.

The company is composed of some of the wealthiest men in this cou itry and in England, and is to bo called the Ml. Carmal Aeronautic Navigation Company. Tho machines, as 1 learn, will be made in dillorent sizes, and if it proves tho success taat some people are contemplating, it will be the greatest invention of the age. The building for the erection of these machines will be 800 foot hquare, and everything required in the building of same, including aluminum, which is used quite largely, will, after they get in operation, be manufactured by tho company. The first trip will bo made shortly leaving Mt. Carniol for St. Louis, then to Chicago and New York. The main ollices of the company will be located at Grand liapidp, New York, Chicago and Mt. Carmol with Mr. Pennington as President. & Your respectfully,

C. D. VORIS.

Confirmed.

The favorable impression produced on the first appearance of the agreeble liquid ruit remedy Syrup of Figs a few years ago has been more than confirmed by the pleasant experience of all ftho have used it, and the success of the propiletorsand manufactures, the California Fig Co.

LETTER PROM OKLAHOMA-

Hard Times in the Territory—Tee People in a Starving Uonditiou. I Lincoln P. O., Oklahoma, Tek.,

Doc. 14, '00.—Having once been a citizen of Montgomery county I thought I would let the people and old neighbors, as well as relatives, know somewhat of tho situation in Oklahoma. To begin w:th I will state that I have never seen so much destitution, no not even in Kausas, as I have seen and am now set ig in Oklahoma, in the lirst placo tho major part of the people come here with but very little money. They were prohibited from entering the Territory until it was too late for a crop to be imido, which caused them to bo destitute the first winter after the country was settled. The past season there was but little of the necessaries of life raised. Lute rains made plenty of watermelons, pumpkins and such as that, but comparatively speaking there was no breadstuff rained so it is isy to see that the people are douDly destitute. There is no way to make a living, that is for the actual homestead settlers, there is considerable timber along the Cimaron river and other streams after they reach the east side of Oklahoma. The principal part of the western half of the Territory is prairie. The people have nothing to make a living with except the timber. Men on the prairie buy timber by the acre, cut tho wood aud draw it to market. Some uave to draw tho wood more thau a score of miles, others live nearer market. A wagon box, with sideboards on, full of wood and ready for the markot, brings from one to two dollars. I have draweu a load, without sideboards on, fifteen miles, and got 50 cents for it, Cord wood brings from $2.25 to $2.50 per cord. Provisions are high. Flour $2 80 per Oivt, and up to $3 a hundred. Corn meal SI.40 per owt. A man told me to-day that he was in a starving condition, children crying for food. The government is furnishing rations but not enough to supply the demands of the people. A family of seven to ten persons can draw flour 50 ounds, corn meal, 50 pounds meat, 10 to 12 pounds beans 10 pounds aud salt 10 pounds every two weeks. It has now been over three weeks since the supplies run out, but I learn there will be mole received by the 15th iust. Your correspondent has been without bread in the house three davs at a time. Others have fared and are faring much worse. Parched corn constituted our family rations for two weeks.

The people are courageous and think if they can manage to get along until a crop is raised they will be all right. The county undoubtedly will support a large population after it is properly cultivated. The soil is good. I have relatives living within three miles of Darlington. Twenty-one years ago last September my widowed mother, with her seven Children, turned the wagon toward the setting sun and left Montgomery county. JOHN D. Row.
