THE STAB SPANGLED BANNER,

A Beautiful Hag Presented by Charles M. Travis to the Sous of Veterans. Tn spite of the extremely Lot weather a crowd which tilled the lower floor of Music Hall assembled June 2f to witness the well advertised Mag presentation. A little over a year ago about fifteen sons of old soldiers organized themselves into a cam]) of that great and growing order called the Sons of Veterans. Charles M. Travis assisted the boys in every possible wav and for his many kindnesses the camp decided to call itself the Clias. M. Travis Camp. Now Mr. Travis has again made the balance of gratitude in his favor Inpresenting to the boys an elegant silk American flag. It is without doubt the handsomest flag in Crawfordsville and was made at an expense of 890. The blue field contains forty-four white stars, one of each State in the Union, and on the white stripe are the words, "Charles M. Travis Camp. No. 211, Hons of Veterans, U. S. A.," in letters of gold. As was remarked before the lower floor was nearly filled, the audience being composed of G. A. R. men, W. R. C. ladies, members of the P. O. S. A. and citizens. The stage was occupied by the Sons of Veterans mid the speakers. The programme was carried out as printed last evening with the exception of a part of the speakers. After the opening song, the invocation and a medley of patriotic airs by the orchestra. 'Mr. Travis spoke. He told in brief the history of flags and particularly of the American flag. His well rounded sentences full of patriotism and that love of country which is peculiarly understood by the old soldiers, were frequently applauded. When Commander J.* ). Tracy appeared with the beautiful emblem, Mr. Travis turned to the Hons of Veterans, who arose, and addressed the remainder of his remarks to them. At the close Mrs. I. X. Walker sang "The Star Sprangled Banner" in such a way as to cause repeated encores. She responded with everybody's favorite. •'Swanee River." Rev. A. K. (Mover then accepted the flag in behalf of the camp in a speech which well exhibited the esteem in which Mr. Travis is held by the boys and their appreciation for his last act of kindness toward them. Mr. Glover delved somewhat into the history of the stars and stripes and found that the first flag was made by a woman and tradition also relates that it was designed by a woman. After tins speech the camp sang "Rally Round the Flag."' and speeches were made by the following visiting gentleman: Col. Geo. C. Harvev, Col. I. X. Walker, Lieutenant-Governor Chase, (iep. A. (I. Weissart.Adjutant-General .Trvin Bobbins and Rev. Horace Ogden. Rev. A.K.Glover pronounced the benediction. It was an occasion long to be remembered anil will lie of incalculable benefit to the Sons of Veterans in Crawfordsville.

A Marion Man Appointed.

James V. Sweetser, of Marion, was yesterday appointed by the Governor to till the vacancy in the State's world's fair commission, caused by the death of John Lee. of Crawfordsville. This erivos the Eleventh district a representative without eiVecting the Eighth, as that district has six representatives in one capacity or another, connected with this work. To accommodate the women requesting places ontho eo imnission the Eleventh had been, in making selections, heretofore merged with the Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. Mr. Sweetser is a manufacturer and banker, now on his way to Europe for Summer travel.— JihiiniHijiuli* Journal.

The City of Poles.

Indianapolis is the city of churches. Logansport the city of bridges. Lafayette the city of beer and in fact evencity in Indiana is the city of something or other. We would suggest that Crawfordsville be dubbed the city of poles. The like of poles was probably never seen in one city before. There are live or six on every corner and as manv niore between. Between the telegraph, telephone and rival electric light com-! panics the place lias become to resemble a vast bean patch.

More Old People.

The "statement, generally"" accepted until the last few days that the late Col. John Lee was the oldest white man born in Montgomery county has received two more denials since the one received from Darlington the first of the week. Mrs. Louise Shevlm and Joseph Galey are both more than (j.j years of age and were both born in Montgomery county. Mrs. Shovel in was the first white female born in the county and has lived here all her life. jr.*

Died.

Mrs. Mary A. Peice, aged 2o years, died June 2G at the home of her mother, Mrs. Jane Abney, one mile north of the city after a long siege of consumption. She leaves two small children to mourn her loss. Mrs. Peice was an acceptable member of the Christian church. Rev. S. W. Brown, of the Christian church conduct the services Sunday afternoon afternoon at three o'clock. Interment at Oak Hill.

its inability to moralize on tin* evil effects coming from the excessive use of intoxicating liquors, not only to the individual who indulges but upon the family and friends as well. Wo would not need to go away from home for a subject upon which to base a story, but many of our people have noticed a tall, square-shouldered man who has been lying in the court house park for several days in a sem:-conscious or unconscious condition- remaining out all night and doing without food except in his more sensible moments when some old acquaintance and former friend who knew him at his best, would take him to the hotel. This person is Dr. Win. Steele, of Wavelatid, who was the only son of Dr. A. T. Steele who for many years practiced successfully his profession in the same place and was considered one of the best physicians in Montgomery county. The father set much store on William and gave him every opportunity to prepare himself to become an intelligent and useful citizen. The son was by nature very apt and until he

Which Is The Patient?

It is a pretty rough story which is out on Charley Davis and .Joe McClaskey. They went to Indianapolis yesterday in charge of Martin Graves, who was to be placed in the insane asylum. The trio arrived at the asylum all'right and were admitted into the reception room to await the superintendent. That woithy soon came bustling in. rubbing his hands ami wearing his brightest lunatic subduing smile. He paused in blank amazement when he saw the party, however, and after giving a few gasps inquired "which one ol you three gent lemen is the patient.'"' It was a cruel cut and Charles and Joscphhoth made haste to clear themselves. When Graves was finally convicted he was asked if he belonged to the church. "1 jined one." was the reply. "What church no you belong to:" "f jined the Jimtown church."'

When asked if he was acquainted with more than one language he said: "Xot as I knows on."

THE CRAZE FOR CRAPS.

A Gambling Game That Has Taken Crawfordsville By Storm. The altogether elegant, game "craps" has been played in Crawfordsville for so loud that the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. It has not been until this summer, however, hat it assumed the wide spread popularity it now enjoys. The game is said to have an irresistible fascination about it but this is not. the ,main cause of this predominance over other games. It is quickly played, it can be plaved anywhere, at any time, without much di's play, and the outfit is very cheap. A pair of dice and you are equipped as a "crap shooter." Well, not. exactly equipped either, you must have your "mascott" or "hokeybo" without, which your name would be Iicnnis. The old time rabbits foot is still popular its a "lioke" but t.urky necks, sow hoofs, chicken's crops and other trinkets are considered to be in equally good form. 'Prof. Robert Burton, the popular colored crap shooter, has the weirdest collection probably ever seen in the city. When lie plays ho* has them all huddled in a heap at his knees and will touch them according to the number he wishes

its

power is infallible.

The monster evil of drink had fastened its fangs deep into the young man's being, and thoroughly incapacitated him from business or genuine pleasure.

It was the young doctor who was arrested a Anderson sometime ago for "holding up" two men, but with the ability to prove an alibi he secured his release. He still practices some but seems powerless to control himself on certain occasions when ho goes on his periodical sprees. How sad all this, when we remember that up to the time he was twenty-one all was sunshine but from twenty-two to thirty-three he has not drawn a sober breath and that now. nothing short of Providential interference can save him.

If he throws none of the aforementioned combinations the sum of the numbers of the faces of the two dice is his "marker." Then to win he must throw that number again before he throws the number seven

The game is on exciting one and the players are usually done 011 their Icneos chuckling the dice and keeping a weather eye 011 tho razor in the other man's breast pocket. Never was a game so full of technical expressions and the players constantly rattling those oil' makes tho game a most ludicrous affair to the spectator. When five is thrown it is called "Phebe," four is "Little Joe." ten is "Big Dick," eight is "clock stroke," nine is "nine days in jail," and so on. The dice sail under the euphonious name of "bones,"'unless, perchance, they are loaded in which event they are dignified to "horses." If takes a pretty smooth man to handle "horses" anil when a fellow is detected razors are living in the air 111 110 time and tin* rascal is relieved of every article of value about him besides being kicked out of town. When a man is broken he is "sent over the mountain" or "on the hog tram." When a man is 111 luck he is "hot," when 111 hard luck "cold." As Prof. Burton happily expresses it, "I was di.\ cold las' Sunday u»t do man nex' to 1110 was shivering."

Sunday is "craps day" and hundreds of dollars change hands hero on the game every Sunday afternoon. Lew Minor, the veteran craps shooter, lost 8150 in about, as many minutes the other Sunday, and other good people similar amounts. The great "crap resort," 011 Sunday is 111 Hutton's woods just, north of the fair grounds. 111 the center of this woods a table has been erected anil 011 the Sabbath it, is covered with a horse blanket. Here on every Sunday as many as fifty white and colored "crap shooters'' assemble and a lively day ensues. Big stakes are usually the go and run as high as a dollar on a urn. This is not the only place about Crawfordsville where craps are played though. It would be much shorter to tell where they are than where they are played. In the rear of the hotels, in the back of stores, in many of the saloons, all around tho Motion station, on doorsteps and in cellars the game is rampant. Two hotel runners had a hot game for small stakes yesterday morning in the north room of the Vandalia station before an interested congregation of traveling men. If the names of ail the people who "shot craps" were made public! there would be some rare scandals, as the game is not confined to negroes and debased white people, but is plaved by some people who consider themselves as just about right. The stakes vary in accordance with the players' moans* and there is no quicker way to lose money, or to win it, when luck is just right than by "shooting craps."

It is a game that tho police view with disgust as it is almost impossible to
