CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER

The following papers, of the dates given,

1890,

are wanted at

office for files: Feb. 1, Aug.

Oct. 11 and Nov. 1.

16,

Death of Miss Idona Smith. Miss Idona Smith, aged 21, died at tho homo of her father, John Smith, four miles west of tho eity Monday at noon. The funeral occurred Wed'nesdav afternoon.

Good Wheat.

W. H. Steel this year had 11 acres of wheat on the farm of Mrs. Mary Snyder. Twenty-three acres averaged oO.V bushels, and 18 acres averaged 2C bushels, an aggregate of 11G5 bushels.

Anms-Hews Sold Again.

S. M. CofTman, former proprietor, has purchased tho Argus-News from W. E. Rosebro and took possession to-day. He will be assisted by Mr. Itosebro, while Harry Duckworth will enter the Senior class of Wabasli College this fall.

New Book ytore.

Bossett iV Co. is tho name of a new firm which has rented tho room in Elston block just west of that occupied by Ziegler A: Reinman. This will open shortly with a full lino of stationery and books and state that they have come to stay.

The Corn. Y.

Tho metropolitan papers are all badly ••off" in reporting the corn crop out of danger. There is not an acre of corn in Montgomery county that -would not be badly injured by frost as late as tje middle of September and many fields would be ruined by 11 heavy frost even biter than that date. ...

Attempt at Barn Burning. "Wednesday night there was an attempt to burn the barn on the farm of Lewis Shular, south of the city. A straw stack iu tho immediate vicinity was fired and it was only by the hardest kind of work that the barn was saved. Suspicion points very strongly to a certain party and evidence is being collected to have him put through.

The Dining Room at the fair. The ladies of tho Christian church having taken both dining halls at the fair ground would ask all persons throughout tho county who are willing to make donations of any kind of vegetables or fruit, also butter, milk, eggs, etc.. to pleaso leave the same at the east hall on tho ground, or at Barnhill, Hornaday A: Pickett's store any day during the fair.

A Beautiful Animal.

Alexander Keller, who lives about seven miles down Sugar Creek, was in the city with quite a curiosity. It was a ground squirrel, perfectly •white, save for a black mark down its back. No such animal has ever been seen before and it is a curious freak of nature. The little animal is perfectly healthy and seems quite tame. Mr. Keller captured it in a lumber pile.

Ohas. Kritz Resigned.

Charles S. Kritz, who has for several years been a teacher in the Crawfordsville high school, has resigned in order to go into the drug business at Waveland with his brother-in-law, Mr. Robertson. Mr. Kritz has always been regarded as an exceedingly efficient teacher and he will be greatly missed both in school and out. The school board met last night and elected O. R. Humphrey as Mr. Kritz's successor.

They Are Coming Father Abraham. From the present outlook it would seem that there would be more entries in eyery department than at any previous fair in the history of tho association. Monday morning secretary Morgan received in the mail 150 entries in the ladies' department alone, all from out-of-town parties. Everybody in this section of the State is coming to the Crawfordsville fair and everybody will be satisfied.

A Pine Effort.

Rev. Frank Fox delivered his initial sermon in Crawfordsville Sunday to a largo and appreciative audience at tho First Presbyterian church. His discourse was excellent in every particular, and treated of Christian faith and its connection with man's relationship with God and his appreciation of God's goodness. Mr. Fox is still a student in tho seminary but gives great promise of having a power for good in tho American pulpit.

Some Fine Horse Flesh.

Those who attend tho races at tho Crawlorctsville fair this year will see some of the finest horse flosli in tho country. Take for instance the 2:20 pace on Thursday in which are entered Lon G., who won a raco at Terre Hauto this week with a record of 2:2f, Applo Jack, who won in another race at Terro Haute, in three straight heats, time 2:18J, 2:19 and 2:18.V, and also Forest Wilkes, who recently won at Independwith tho ence, Iowa, remarkable record of 2:16^, 2:15 and 2:l(5 j. Secretary Morgan has been keeping his eyes open for weeks and as a result we are going to have the finest lot of races ever soon on our track.

OLD SETTLERS AT MEflARRY'S.

Addresses by Key. H, M. Middleton. Harvey Wilkinson and Others. The annual assembling of old settlers was organized twenty-ono years ago and was brought about by the efforts of Dr. Richie, of Lafayette, and P. T. McKinney. of Newtown, in connection with others. P. T. McKinney was its first President,. Tho first speeches wore made from a largo wagon and one of the first speakers was a Mr. Birch, brother to preacher Birch, wl claimed he was the first or.-on born in 1'ountain county. Its meeting were held for two years in Newtown and since for nineteen years at Meharry's. \t, this meeting after prayer by Elder Warren McBroom. of Hillsboro, the people were very usefully entertained by Rev. IT. M. Middleton, who said we could only a few of us be called old settlers because we were so migratory, and this disposition to migrate was born of our ambition for better things, begetting a discontent with our location causing us to ehango our home, but our country was as good as the best. Groat, change? have been wrought and we live more now in one third of a century than our fathers did in one hundred years. Our fathers not only gave us the impetus toward our present financial prosperity, but they subdued King George and gave us our present freedom, founded our public schools, but wo have some work to do to protect our school system from church power. Our fathers gave us a structure of government strong and enduring, and wo their descendants have the duty upon of pushing forward its completion to a glorious future. Wo have a Christian civilization and to this we owe our greatness. Columbus at the discovery erected tho cross and the pilgrims established Christian civilizations. The aged in our country are respected as they are in but few others, and we rejoice that we can instill into the minds of our youth respect for them, and in conclusion say. they who planted the tree of our prospertv are worthy of sitting in its sliado anil enjoying its fruit.

After dinner the audience was entertained by excellent speeches delivered by TTarvoy Wilkinson, of Crawfordsville, and J. S. Williams, of Lafayette. Tho very best of speeches were made by these gentlemen, thoroughly American speeches, brimfull of pith and point, but it would make too long an article for publication, but the one of Mr. Wilkinson. especially prepared, is worthy of publication entire. Rev. David Love, a Presbyterian preacher of Newtown, next gave an impromptu speech replete with good thoughts, and the exercises were closed by short talks by old settlers, Snnt Gray, J. S. McMillen* and others, filled with good advice to tho young. The visitors present from abroad were Dr. Whitehead, of Seattle, Washington, and L. A. Hartness, of Maryville, Mo.

Union Services.

Rav. G. W. Switzer was greeted with an immense audience Sunday night, it being a union service of the First Presbyterian and Methodist churches. The choirs of the two churches joined together making a double quartette, and George F. Hughes sang a solo. Mr. Switzer opened with some pleasant remarks about the absence of the old prejudices which prevented anything like union services a few years ago and rejoiced that we live in "a day when Christ and tho truth hold a position in men's minds superior to creeus and dogmas. Ho also deprecated tho man ner of some preachers who intrude their own personality so much on their congregations that when they die their places cannot bo filled easily. A minister should so impress his hearers with the truths of religion that when ho passes away another man can continue the work just as well. Tho meeting closed with a benediction by Dr. R. Cunningham.

A Veteran Resigns.

Last Saturday evening the Board of Trustees received the resignation of Miss Maggie Carroll as a teacher at the Central school building. Miss Carroll resigns to accept, a lucrative position in the public schools of Indianapolis Miss Carroll has been a teacher in the public, schools of this city in the neighborhood of twenty years and has been a most excellent and faithful one. Her resignation is accepted with great regret by tho board of trustees and the patrons of the school see her depart with great re-

Sad Fate of aGreed Oalf,

A queer accident occurred at New Market on Saturday afternoon. Tho full blooded registered jersey calf of James Bennett met a tragic death. It was amusing itself by browsing on a pear tree in tho yard and occasionally swallowing a pear whole by way of diversion. It finally tried to swallow a good big one but it was no go. Tho jiear stuck and with a groan of anguish tho little calf laid over on its sido and expired in two minutes.

MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED.

John 0. Branyan, a Wabash Graduate of '90, Lost S'cht Of. Everyone hero will remember John C. Branyan, the giant of the class of 'HO, of Wabash college. He attended Wabash four years and was distinguished in all college circles especially in athletics, lie was a member of tho "foot ball team and also distinguished for broad jumping and boxing. He was the leader o' the "barb" organization and as su liald many college ollices. Upon gradu

T11F. MISSINU MAN.

ation he went to his home in Huntington and entered tho law office of his father, Hon. J. C. Branyan. He soon took tho Western fovor, however, and went to Tacoma, Washington, and opened a law ollico of his own. The boom was on the wane there, however, so the clients did not flock in by droves and John becoming disgusted went to the wilds, a distance of some miles from Tacoma, and assumed management of a sheep ranche. His splendid physique gave him a good control of the woolly herdsmen and ho was considered an elegant foreman. About a month ago he mysteriously disappeared from tl.o ranche ono day. His clothes and effects all remained but, ho was gone and no trace of him could be found. A party was organized to search the wild region for him but the men were unable to find hirn or anything in regard to him. After a hunt of several days tho news was telegraphed all ovor tho slope but no news of tho missing man was obtained. His family wore notified and have gone west to onstruct a more systematic search. Somo of his friends in tho West fear that he met with foul play as he was among a band of lawless and desperate characters, many of whom were refugees from justice and had no regard for life or law.

TRIEI) IN A OHURUH.

Jake Freed, of .New Market, Fined at Waveland for Selling Liquor to Minors. August, 27 was a gala day at Waveland and the trial of Jake Freed, of New Market, for selling liquor to minors caused great comment and speculation. Tho 'Squire's office proved too small to accommodate tho crowd so possession was obtained of tho Christian church and it was filled to overflowing, all tho young bucks in tho neighborhood assembling to see tho fun. Prosecutor n°U°K represented tho State ami Georgo Hurley tho defonso. The case against Freed for selling liquor to Leo Day was lost as Day was proved to be of ago. It came out in this trial that tho good people of Now Market had put up a job on Freed to get rid of his obnoxious place and person. When Young Day explained how he happened to get the beer he stated that John Warbritton came up to him and upon beii assured by Day that he was a minor Mr. Warbritton shelled out fifty cento and requested him to buy a quart of beer of Freed. This Day did and ilie crowd d.ank it in the cellar. The next, day the warrant was sworn out against Freed for selling to minors Tho case against Freed forselling to minor Will

Why Dr. Price's Baking' Powder is

^Superior to all others.

stfn-sjs&aS great efforts arc mculc by other manufacturers to procure and use pure materials.

It is true that one other company has the facilities, but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Pricc Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure baking powder.

NO 3

Brush, was won by the State and Freed fined .^20 and costs. Tho caso for soiling without a license was continued indefinitely. The trial created great amusement and was a joyous occasion all around.

A DAY IN THE WOODS,

TliuHorso Thief Dotectivo Association's Pionio iu Scott Township. The picnic given under the auspices of the llorse Thief Detective Association in the south part, of the county in Mrs. Win. Servies' grove near Lapiand, in Scott township, August, 27, was ono of the most enjoyable affairs of the kind ever held in the comity. The grove is beautifully shaded with sugar trees, under which a thick carpet of green blue-grass is spread as clean as a well kept door yard. No lovelier spot, could be fount] in the county for out door enjoyment. Notwithstanding tho threatening weather kept hundreds away, the crowd was large, and a dinner was spread upon the boards that would have served as a marriage feast the highest circles of society. Tho exercises consisted of music, speeches and recitations,

The recitations and declamations bv local talent would have done credit to a more pretentious occasion and showed that the farmers of Scott, township are not only cultivating their broad and fertile fields, but are giving equal attention to the cultivation oT the minds of their children. The speeches were, delivered by Messrs. L. .). Coppage. W. T. Whittington and P. S. Kennedy.! The music which was excellent was furnished by the New Market band. It was determined by those present so hold a meeting annually at t.lns superb grove, make it a permanent, institution and greatly extend its exercises ami and amusements. Certainly no neighborhood in the county is better equipped for such an affair. It possesses wealth, culture and refinement, and the meetings in tho future will attract visitors, from every part, of tho county.

Honry L. Hunter Slips Gracofully Into the Firo and Singes Away Right Morrily. John K. Courtney, the attorney for Henry L. Hunter, who is now in the county jail charged with the seduction^ of his step-daughter, Lneinda Klmore, a is greatly disturbed for the welfare of his client. Mr. Courtney thought, until August 21 that ho could keep Elmore out of the penitentiary but now is not so sure of it, and doesn't know that he particularly cares to. On that, afterluon Sheriff Bible received a subpoena from Tipton county to serve on Mr. Hunter. Tt summoned him to appear as tho defendant in a divorce suit brought by Anna L. Hunter againsthim. It seems that Hunter married

Anna in Tipton county souk* years ago, but tiring of her lied here and in tho! courso of timo married Mrs. Elmore, his present wife. His other wife evidently caught on to his whereabouts when liif* trouble with his stop-daughter came out, and she lost no time in getting him

Borved with a divorco notice. If Mr. Hunter escapes from the chargo on which he now languishes in jail lie ,vill? get just as bail or worse a drill for amy. To use the language of psalmist, "lie is between tho devil tho deep sea.''

Tho Midland railroad is again in trouble in spite of lie flattering accounts in the city press of the company's prosperity. Tho Midland pay day is the 2oth but this month that day came and passed and no pay came. On the overling of the 2f!th the trainmen sent tho company word the trains would not run unless cash for the month's services was forthcoming. An answer was received from the company asking that three days be granted in which to make the riflle. An employe in a position to know the feeling of of the trainmen says that after the expiration of three c.ay.s asked unless the men are paid tho road will be tied up in a harder knot, than ever. The Midland will have to put in its best licks if gets into Brazil in time for the coveted subsidy.---lirozU Tiuus.
