The Sands of Deo.

"O Mary, go and call the cattlo home, And call thu cattle homo, And call the cattle home,

Across thu sands of Deo." Tho western wind was wild and dank with foam.

And all alone went she.

Tho western tido crept up along tho sand, And o'er and o'er the sand, And round and round the sand.

As far oh eye could sec. Tho rolling mist came down and hid tho land. And nevor home camo she.

"Oh, is it weed, or fish, or floating hair— A tress of golden hair, A drowned maiden's hair.

Above tho nets at sea? Was never salmon yet that shone so fair Among tho stakes on Dee."

They rowed her In across the rolling foam, Tho cruel crawling foam, Tho cruel hungry foam.

To her grave beside tho sea. But, still the boatmen hear her call tho cattlo home

Across tho sands of Dee. —Charles Kingsley.

Humphrey & Reeves have now attached the buggy much to the swindled purchaser's disgust. —The County Commissioners let tlie contract for three bridges Monday. The Canton Bridge Co. obtained the contract for bridges over Black Creek, on the Attica road, and over Walnut Fork, on the Fredricksbu rg road. Wm.

Barnum's only and equal partner, was a comparatively poor man. To-day, by industry and untiring energy, he has accumulated a fortune of $1,500,000, and owns one-half the Greatest Show on Earth, the only show ever venturing upon so hazardous an undertaking as a journey to Europe. -It has been discovered that the old crazy woman who drifted in here a week or so ago is of French extraction and talks away glibly enough in that language. An interpreter learned from her that she had been in the asylum at

Richmond, Ind., and in the poor house at Terre Haute. These institutions have been notified and if not heard from soon Mr. Hartman will place his chargo in care of a Vandalia conductor with instructions to drop her off at Terre Haute. —In the grand spectacle of Imre Kiralfy's "Nero or the Destruction of Rome," which is now a feature of Barnum & Bailey's greatest show on earth, there are no less than one thousand two hundred persons engaged. Among them are tho finest ballet dancers of England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austrlia and Portugal. A stage four hundred and fifty feet long is required to show this magnificent part of the show, which the London papers said, after seeing it there last winter, "It is the beBt and grandest, as well as the largest and richest, spectacle ever seen in Europe."

Held iiy an Old Contract.

The sidewalk at the west of Grandmother Heaton's property is being built but the fence and well will not be disturbed. It seems that years ago when Plum street was put through there the city council entered into a contract with Mrs. Heaton that her well should not be disturbed. When this was discovered there was no more trouble, and the sidewalk will describe a beautiful hyperbola around the well.

Everybody visiting the fair should call at 213 east Main street.

COMPLETE AND 00BREQT,

The Official and Pinal Report of the Population of Our County, Townships and Towns.

The official census bulletin for Indiana has at last been issued by the government, and the question of just how our population goeB down on tho records is settled. The stated population of Montgomery county is 28,025, against a pop ulation of 27,316 in 1880, making a gain of 709, which compares more than favorably with any county outside of the gas belt. It shows a good healthy state of affairs which no one can gainsay, The population is distributed as follows in the various townships and towns: 1890 llrown towcslilp,including Wavuland i.'tno Waveland 0U3 Clark townshlp.includititr Ladoga'?',!?:!

Tho population of Crawfordsville is unsatisfactory, but for all of that Crawfordsville is not any more disappointed than many neighboring towns. Lafayette with her boasted 22,000 was cut down to 16,243. Frankfort has only 5,919, Greencastle, 4,390, while Lebanon is not even rated among the first-class towns. Let us be thankful then for what didn't get away.

More About "Long John The Huntington Herald has tho following to say concerning John M, Branyan, the Wabash College boy of that place who disappeared in Washington last June: "While it is true tliat Mr. Branyan's parents have no definite information of the young man since June, except their natural solicitude as to his welfare, they

are not particularly uneasy regarding him. After he left this city last fall, ho went to Tacoma, where he opened a law office. In the spring, however, he abandoned it and rented a small ranch. Ho remained upon the ranch until the early part of June, when he abruptly left it, leaving no word as to whore he had gone. Naturally his disappearance attracted attention, and was the subject of some newspaper notoriety in the Washington press. These papers have found their way east.

The last positive information of Mr. Branyan is a letter written by him in June, saying that he had joined a surveying party in charge of S. D. Wilson, State superintendent of the Department of Irrigation of Washington, and was with the party on the plains, camping out, and would probably be with Mr. Wilson for some time. Whether he has not had opportunity to send letters, or whether he has neglected to do so from inclination, is unknown. No news is usually regarded as good news, and his friends here are disposed to take a hopeful view of the matter. •/iii,.

Hicks' Weather for September. The 3d, and next days thereto, ought to bring reactionary rains, with change to more pleasant weather. From the 7th to 11 is a combination of causes which will, doubtless, result in active storms. Many dry sections will have rains at this time. Note the 8th to the night of the 11th. Reactionary movements will be more marked on and abont tho 13th, in consequence of Earth's approaching Equinox. The 18tli to 21st is a regular storm period, with Earth at Equinox. Storms must result. Be watchful, especially on and noar lakes and sea. A center of minor disturb ances on the 24th. A regular period begins on September 29th, and runs into October.

The Onward Stride.

At the regular meeting of the P.O.S.A. Tuesday night there were four persons initiated in the Red Degree, and everybody was happy in the cause for which this order was founded. Wm. Heseler was appointed by Louis Kramer as Deputy District President, and he duly installed S. J. Billman as treasurer. The Order in this city continues to advance, and it is now among one of th? permanent aud leading institutions in this city. All good and patriotic citizens are cordially solicited to unite with this organization and join hands in pro moting peace and prosperity to Our Country.

He's After Ollie.

For some months past it has been re ported that H. D. Whitehead, of Wash ington state, has been fooling around Shawnee Mound with the full intent of carrying off his famous sister-in-law. Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead. A good eiti zen of that place called on Tiie

JoruNAL

yesterday and saia that it was not Elma that Mr. Whitehead was after, but her equally famous sewing maid, Ollie Reece, who stood by her mistress so loyally in the celebrated trial. Ollie is a eweet girl and it will be remembered got real mad when Fred Pettit tried to kiss her. Mr. Whitehead could go further and do a great deal worse, so he could.

'W ill Cover the V/orlds' Fair Building Hood Nelson has received word from the Worlds'Fair Commission ers that he could put his patent metalic cresting on all the worlds' fair building that are capable of taking it. Mr. Nelson will put it on in metal and glass and states that the contract will involve thousands of dollars. He will throw off most of his profits he says for the advertisement it will give him.

A Good Move.

We failed to note an important fact in our report of the recent meeting of the Board of Education. Tho Trustees ably assisted by Mr. Zuck, our efficient county superintendent, have established a rule that not only conduces to the uniformity of school work and saves hundreds of dollars for the county but at the same time prevents worthless aparatus being placed in the school rooms. The board can not be too highly commended for this precaution. Before it is possible for any article to be sold, the agent must meet the board, or have some action taken with reference to the appliance he wishes to sell. The matter is then carefully considered by the entire board and if it meets itli their approval and the price is not exhorbitant the appliance is adopted. If the conditions are not favorable the board so informs the agent and he knows at once that further work is unnecessary. The only matter of this kind that came before the board at their late session was a combination chart and book rack, a very useful article, invented by an ingenious "Hoosier school master" of New Castle, Ind., and a series of charts by the same party entitled "The Standard

Business Chart," containing practical 'essons of use in every day life. This chart is designed to illustrate the importance and practical features of the lessons contained in the various text books used by him. This feature is combined with a fine set of writing charts. By using these charts the monotony of the writing lesson is obviated by getting the pupil interested in writing descriptions of land, deeds, mortgages, notes, checks, drafts, contracts, etc., etc. In fact the chart is the most practical tiling in this line we have ever examined. The wants of the chart and rack were explained to the board by A. L. Eilar, the general senior member of the firm of Eilar it Wilson, of New Castle, and after a thorough examination the work was unanimously adopted by the board. Wo understand that the pri je of tho jhart is very reasonable. It is high time that more work was being dono in the common schools of a practical nature, and the action of the board will certainly have a tendency in that direction. More attention should bo paid to the common schools than any other, for at least as much) from the fact that four-fifths of the pupils are compelled to rely upon them for their entire education. "Tho most good to the greatest number" should le the motto of school officers.

ill Represent Wayne Township. A. N. Higgins, of Waynetown, is busy preparing a feature for the county fair which will be lxth unique and resplendent. He has thirty-six little girls ranging from 6 to 8 years of age and is teaching them a beautiful drill. One dozen of the children will be dressed wholly in red, another dozen wholly in white and the third dozen wholly in blue. They will give an exhibition of their drill at the fair ground on Tuesday. It is needless to remark that it will cause great attention and elicit great applause.

James and Rachel.

James Delaney, of Darlington, was in the city consulting his attorneys, Crane it Anderson. He proposes to fight the divorce suit brought by Rachel, his wife, and says that when he is through with her Rachel will weep for something besides her children, to-wit: her alimony. Mr. Delaney says he is not in the habit of getting drunk, neither did he kick his fair bosom com panion, or drop her with a door latch. He will never let Rachel have the divorce if the law can keep her from getting it.

Wants the Midland's Money. W. I. Whittington filed two new suits on account against the Midland railroad to-day, one for C. W. Hughes and the other for his wife, Mary. The claims amount to about $400 and run from one to three years back. Mr. Whittington is drawing up another complaint claiming about 81,000 for Henry Mclntyre. These claims are of the same nature as those which caused the famous Waveland strike.

Waynetown Wants Gas.

The citizens of Waynetown are getting enthused on the natural gas question and are talking it big. The project now on foot is to work up a branch line which will tap the Crawfordsville main. The people there think that there would be enough subscribers to make the piping a paying investment, and they believe that they can make it go-

A SURPLUS OF ESCORTS.

Mat Goben and Sheriff Bible Wish "The Pleasure of Mrs. Kite's Company" to The Insane Asylum.

When the lunacy commission which sat upon the case of old Mrs. Kite, adjudged her insane last week, Mat Goben got a large sized hustle on himself and had the commission to appoint him as the old lady's escort to the insane hospital at Indianapolis. Sheriff Bible was banking on that pleasure, too, audit was naturally his as he had the old girl in his custody and was taking care of her in a most fatherly way. The job was worth about §20 to him as he could collect milleage on it while it was only worth expenses to the grasping Goben. Mr. Bible was very wroth and when Goben made a demand for the old lady he was refused by the Sheriff. Goben went sputtering away from the jail fairly wild with rage and for the past two days ho has made a terrible noise. In fact if noise were all that be needed to bring rain he would discount the Dyrenforth mothod all to pieces. Tho old lady Kite don't want t-o go with Goben and says she will die first. The matter now stands unsettled but

Goben seems to have slipped up on the new Sheriff and will come out of the big end of the horn yet.

After the Doctors.

Dr. Keegan has received tho following letter from tho Secretary of the State Board of Health and it applies to a number of physicians in this county who are very lax in regard to reporting deaths:

Indianapolis, Aug. 31, '91.—Dear Doctor.—Prompted by a desiro to increase the efficiency of Boards of Health, I desire to call your attention to the following facts:

The population of your county acrding to the census of 1890 is 28,025. Assuming that the doath rate in this Stato is at least sixteen to the thousand your annual mortality will be 448.

If your reports fall short of this number you may know that you are not re ceiving complete returns and yon should ferret out those who fail to comply with the law and compel them to do their duty. In this connection your attention is called to Sections 10 and 14 of act passed Feb. 19, 1891, entitled,

An act to establish a State Board of Health," etc. Yours Truly, C. N. Metcalf Sec.

Electric Lights For the Campus There is considerable talk of three electric lamps being placed in the college campus, the college to pay for the lamps and the city to put up poles and wires and run tho lamps the same as the street lights. This would be not only a good thing for the collego in the way of protection from tramps and students on night of February 22nd, but it would isu tisfy a long felt want of the citizens who reside west of the campus.

Declamation Contest.

On Wednesday Miss Louie Brown's class in declamation held a contest to detormine which one of the pupils should represent the city in the county contest at the fair next Tuesday. The speakers were Mamie Edwards, Emma Jackman,

Mabel Matthews, Maud Scott and Sadie Brown. The judges awarded the first place to Mamie Edwards.

'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 Price Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure baking powder.

No other article of human food receives greater care in its production, or has attained higher perfection. Dr. Price's Cream is surely a perfect baking powder. Free from every taint of impurity. No other article used in the kitchen has so many steadfast friends among the housewives of America.
