"OH, IF MOTHER WERE ONLY ALIVE!"

All through life she has known a mother's watchful care. She now is a youn}? mother, and gains strength but slowly. She would "give worlds to do everything for her precious baby, but cannot the doctor is so strict, and does not sympathize with her,*" as mother always did."

That baby lias unfolded in the young mother's heart, new emotions. She has a living responsibility, and requires strength to enable her to perform a loving duty. At such a time, too much care cannot be taken, and the Vegetable Compound is indispensable. 'r

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA SATURDAY, APRIL 11,1891.

Long Ago.

Sometimes a breath flonts by mo, An odor from Dreiunland scut, That makes the ghost seem nigh mo

Liko music heard oneo by an ear That cannot forget or reclaim it, A something so shy, it would shame it

To make it a show, A something too vague, could I mituu it, For (ii hers to know, As if I had lived it or dreamed it, As if I had acted or schemed it.

Long ago!

The Peru Journal Sold.

Charles F. Crowdor, a Crawfordsville bo)', who owned it two-third interest in the Peru Daily Journal, has sold the plant to Arthur Bodurtha.

A Case Transfered,

The case of Samuel Warbritton against Francis M. Demorit which was before the Appellate Court has been transferred to the Supreme court because of want of jurisdiction, the ownership of land being involved in the case.

Funeral of Morton Swank. The funeral services of Morton Swank were held at the family residence of his father,north-west of the city, on Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The burial was at Oak Hill cemetery. Rev. John M. Stafford was the officiating clergyman. '•'-•J--. •'•''"'15 first Time In Ten Years.

William P. Johnston, of near New Market.was liereMonday fort he first time in ten years. His last trip here was in 1880.He has sent in ever since to jiayhis taxes and has hardly gone off his farm. He thinks things have changed considerably since his last visit.

The Union Township Contest Two young ladies and one boy spoke at the small court room on Saturday for the honor of representing Union township at the county contest which takes place April 18. The judges were Will Maxedon, Will White and Will Hunt and they awarded the first places to Miss Lizzie Greves, of Beech Grove, and Gregory Ivelly.

In Favor of the Oity.

Judge E. C. Snyder has decided the case of the city against Giff Ridge for selling liquor without a license. It will be remembered that Eidge was acting as barkeeper for Mike Zellar who claimed to be selling on a contract with the ex-keeper of the saloon, Mossier. The court decided that the contract was a sham and a fraud that the license to Mossier did not protect Zellar and that the defendant was guilty as charged.

Cincinnatus In An Onion Field. Our late representative to the Legislative halls of Indiana, has taken a radical step, one which literally "stinks to heaven." A. N. Higgins.'lie of the hand painted beard, has returned from the helm of the State to the handle of the plow, even like Cincinnatus did before him. He has rented two acres of land at Wavnetown and will spend the sjjring and summer in raising onions. Higgins evidently wants dollars for scents.

What is the Matter With Isaac? Issac Strouse.of the Rockvilie Tribune, thus unburdens himself in reference to Crawfordsville: ''There are more illiterate, depraved toughs, more poker players, more dead beats, more two-for-a nick people in Crawfordsville than anywhere else on the face of the earth." It has caused considerable study to discover whether Isaac is not just right or whether he is suffering from bots. This case is referred to the Parke cminty Board of Health.

The Horse Show Postponed. On account of the extremely UilU weather the third annual horse show was postponed from last Saturday until Saturday, April 18. There are quite a number of blooded horses in the city while their owners are exhibiting but no procession occurred, the band was not out and no awards were made. The postponement was a wise move made in the interest of horsemen, visitors and merchant. Remember the date of tho horse show, April 18.

Eph Popped Partridges.

Eph Miers was tried last Monday for shooting quails after the law protecting them began to be enforced. The case was conducted before Judge Snyder, Courtney appearing for the defense and Moffett for the State. Levi Martin was the prosecuting witness and after hearing the evidence the court decided that Eph was guilty as charged in the indictment and fined him §1 and costs The costs will amount to about $30. Young Buchanan, who was indicted for the same offense, was turned loose.

Matters of the Fair.

The directors of the fair association met at the small court room last Saturdag. John S. Brown was instructed to repair the fence all around the ground by putting in new locust posts. Jas. A. Mount was instructed to coll a meeting of the ladies for the purpose of revising the ladies lists. The Superintendents were instructed to report their expert judges by May 1.

TAKEN NORTH.

Charles Ooombs Leaves for Michigan Oity To Eemain For Twenty-One Years. Charley Coombs completed all his preparations for departure last week and following Mr. Pettit's example sent for the old prison guard, Sant Galey, in order to get 6ome pointers on lake shore breezes and the life at the hotel de French. Galey told him all about it and Coombs was surprised on learning that he could not choose his labor. He vehemently declared that ho would positively refuse to work. Mr. Galey told him the penalty, forfieture of good time and it lout in the dungeon but Charley still held out in his determination.

Saturday Captain McClasky decided if he himself were well enough he would take Coombs up on Monday. Accordingly a cab called at the "jail and the heriff, officer Brothers and Coombs and wife got in and wero taken to the Vandalia station, Capt. McClasky having decided to go to the penitentiary by the way of Plymouth. Mrs. Coombs lias been with her husband night and day lately and her parting with him was quite affecting. Coombs himself was in very good spirits and although ho used his red pocket handkerchief to some extent, certainly appeared in better spirits than at any time during the trial. A few friends spoke to him in tho waiting room but he had little to say and when the train came in boarded it with the sheriff and was soon speeding awav from the city in which he was raised, in which he committed a heinous crime, and from which he is banished to hard labor as a fitting and natural consequence of his own unlawful deed, i:

Mrs. Fisher Doherty Sues John B. Eobb. Hurley & Clodfelter have entered suit in the circuit court at Carthage,Mo., in behalf of Mrs. Fisher Doherty, of this city, for the possession of the lead lands at Joplin now held by John B. Robb and his son-in-law, Mr. Street. Mrs. Doherty formerly possessed the land and claims in her complaint that when she transferred it to Robb and Street she did so with the understanding that it was to be reconveyed to her as soon as certain claims in this city were satisfied. These are now disposed of and she asks a reconveyance. The land has increased to a fabulous value since it passed into Mr. Robb's hands, and is now most desirable property from its mineral wealth. The event of the suit will bo awaited with interest.

Well Hardly, Examine the Report of Stamp Salos the Past Year. The croakers who flourished in such largo numbers in Crawfordsville about, a year ago have about ceased thoir croaking.
