CI Pelicans Plus Elephants. t§ff The arithmetical signs prove not a little puzzle to the beginners at tho public schools, and the teachers are sometimes at a loss to explain this meaning. Not long since a teacher wrestled with a little girl for an hour endeavoring to explain the meaning of the sign plus. Finally she explained it by saying "it means the same as "and," thus five plus four are nine, or five and four are nine—it means the same as "and." The youngster seemed to grasp the idea and got along very well. The other day, however, she came up with a composition, and standing before the school proceeded to describe the wonders she had seen at Barnum's show, The following sentence from the composition demonstrates that she grasped the meaning of"plus" with a vengeance: "We saw pelicans plus elephants plus kangaroos plus monkeys plus camels plus parrots plus pole-cats. After we saw the animals papa plus mamma bought us some peanuts plus some red lemonade."
WELL DONE
Thou JGood and Faithful Servant Euter Thou Into a Largo and Lucrative Practice.
The Montgomery county bar hold a meeting October 121 to express its appreciation of tho very efficient manner in which Judge Snyder has acquitted himself in tho performance of his duties as Judge of tho 22d judicial district. Judge Thomas addressed tho bar and moved that officers be elected. Judge A. F. Ilarney, tho incoming official, waR elected President, and J. R. Hanna, Secretary. Judge Thomas then moved tho adoption of tho following resolution:
Tho mcmboiu of tho Montgomery connty bar and tho officers of the Montgomery Circuit Court, desiring to show their high appreciation of the publio services of 'Hon. E.O.Snyder on the bench of said court do declare that he has been an honest, able and faithful pnblic servant and is fully entitled to the plaudits of "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." And wo ask that this eeclaration of our esteem and admiration bo plftced on the records of tho court over which he has so ably presided for the last six years.
The members of the bar in speaking of the resolution, and in referring to the qualities of Judge Snyder, spoke of him as a man of many parts and some of the expressions were very fitting, among them were the following: He was an able lawyer, a man who has the courage of his con notions, a man who has done his duties with remarkable patience, a Judge who disposed of the business bofore him with quickness, one who were it possible for human being to bo an ideal character would comply with such a character in every particular, ono who gave his decisions after assuming himself that he was right, and in carrying out his ends he was unfaltering. He was not an ideal judge but a model judge. His only fault, if it is a fault, is that he was extraordinarily earnest. He has many of the qualities that render him eminently fit for the position of judge, and the bar will say to him as he steps down from his official position: "Well done, good and faithful servant."
The incoming Judge, the Hon. J. F. Harney, then arose from his chair and paid a very fooling and beautiful tribute to the qualities, character and ability of the retiring Judge, Hon. E. C. Snyder.
Thereupon the resolutions were voted upon and unanimously adopted, and tho Secretary instructed to move tho court that the same be put on record. Judge Snyder was then erf lied upon and said that he earnestly hoped no action would bo taken in this affair, that ho didn't know what he had done to receive this punishment, but perhaps a good many who had received sentence at his hands thought the same, thing. He appreciated the feeling expressed by the members, that be wanted to congratulate tho members upon their ability in knowing and appreciating that the Judge is always right. He was afraid the bar would say when he began practice that he was good as a Judge but no good as a lawyer. Thanking the bar for its expression he gracefully stepped down and allowed his official robe to settle on tho broad shoulders of his successor.
Company l's Clothes.
Company I has disbanded and the tramp, tram]), tramp of the brave soldier boys will be heard no more of summer evenings on the court house corner. The reason for disbandment is that no one can be found who has the desire to assume the honors and responsibilities of the captaincy. When the notice of disbandment was sent in to headquarters an order came back at once to the company to send in those new clothes. There is much soreness over this ord' and the boys think the headquarters are mighty mean. In the first place the Colonel promised on the glorious Fourth of July to give them the suits without money and without price on account of the good record they made. The suits came all rigLt and resplendent in them the company went to Fort Wayno to tho State encampment. They were docked SG.50 for these suits on leaving they thought they were receiving as gifts. Now they are ordered to turn them over to the State and are howling dolefully.
The "Hero of Two Wars."
Gen. M. D. Manson, of Crawfordsville, is in me city to-day the guest of Bird E. Barner. The frosts of many winters have left their mark on the "Hero of two Wars," and the General is not that strong man that his many friends here were for so long time accustomed to seeing, but he is General Manson just the Bame, and that to his friends, neighbors and the "boys in blue" who were in his command, convey a world of information. The General left here at noon to-day to visit his daughter at Findlay, Ohio.—Frankfort Crescent.

CAN'T SEE IT THAT WAY.
A Sensational Suit filed to Set Aside tho Will of tho Lato J. N. Good bar. Well, the broad and goodly acres and the hard cash of tho late John *N. Goodlmr have gotten into the courts and will be gallantly contended for by eager heirs and wise attorneys. J. N. Goodbar was one of the most, substantial men in Montgomery county and left, an estate worth $G0,000. In his will he divided his property up among his brothers and sisters and his nieces and nephewB. fom» fared better than others and the result is that a suit was filed this morning to set aside the will. Tho plaintiffs are the deceased's brother, Dickerson, and his sistor, Mrs. Simon Hont,otter. Dickerson Goodlmr nays that he was left but $50 by the will and Mrs. Hostetter some old notes and a farm to which John Goodbar had no title. He merely held a mortgage on it and the heirs to whom he bequeathed tho reHt of tho property oould foreclose tho mortgage and then leave her oomplotely in tho hole. As soon as tho will had been admitted to probate the defendants got, their heads together and prepared for a conteot. Dickorson Goodbar is worth about SIS,000 and tho reason he was left $50 was because lie had but one heir and John concluded that tho $15,000 would be enough for him. Dickerson couldn't see it that, wav and enlisting his sistor they employed N. P. H. Proctor and Ballard & Ballard as attorneys and filed suit to set aside the will. In tho complaint some startling charges are made. Tho defendants boldly assert that when J. N. Goodbar made his will ho was of unsound mind and had been bamboozled into signing a mado up will by some of tho plaintiffs. They claim that J. N. Goodbar, an old bacholor, was living with his nephew, Dol'ew Hyton, and that DePew is tho man who, aided by his father, Dr. Hyton, worked John into signing a fraudulent will, while of unsound mind. Tlioy say that DePew Hyton and his father had Goodbar where they could do with him what they pleased and tlioy pleased to have him make a will which favored .lioir interests. Tho defendants,about 15 in number, indignantly deny tho charges and have employed Kennedy Kennedy and Crano S: Anderson to defend the suit. The caso will bo a most interesting and sonsationnl ono and all oxpoct to see fur Hy on both sides.
A Joku on Rev. S. P. Colvin. Tho A. M. E. conference which convened a week or so ago at Indianapolis expelled the minister at Frankfort because he was in tho habit of swearing in his sleep. Several gontlctnen were discussing the propriety of this action tho other evening and during tho conversation one of the gentlemen related the following story on Rov. S. P. Colvin, who was pastor of the Methodist church hero several years ago It seems that during Mr. Colvin's pastorate at Danville he had a back tooth which got to aching and it fairly drovo him wild. He though himself unable to undergo its extraction without tho use of an anesthetic but being slightly troubled with a heart complaint feared that the administration of an anesthetic might result in his death. Finally, howevor, the pain became so unbearable that Mr. Colvin resolved to brave death rather than endure it. Ho took with him to the dentist's office three of the most godly members^of his church and before taking his place in the chair he delivered a little address to them. He
Baid
that
he feared he could nevor undergo the anesthetic and live and if ho died he wished them to bear witness to tho world that he died firtn in tho Christian faith. Never before had he felt so close to God and standing on the brink of eternity, as it were, he called upon all to witness his fortitude which the consciousness of a race well run, gave him. The speech ended tho dentist administered the anesthetic, gave a fiendish grin and began operations while tho tearful members of Mr. Colvin's flock looked on with dread and sympathy. No sooner had the dentist began, however, than Mr. Colvin under the influence of the anesthetic began to indulge in some most romarkable and extravagant language. He cursed and swore, even worse than Uncle Toby
Bays
the British
troops did in Flanders, and finally the three good deacons arose and lied in dismay. The demonstrations of Mr. Colvin grew more and more violent and a large crowd assembled around tho office believing that some tough was being murdered. It was not until tho effects of the drug passed off that Mr. Colvin quieted down, and he has never yet heard the end of the joke as it is sprung upon him whenever he goes in the vicinity of Danville.
Desires'to Experiment.
Dr. J. N. Taylor, President of the State Board of Health, is desirous of experimenting to satisfy himself whether the cattle disease now prevalent in this county, is contagions or not. If there is any farmer who is willing that the Doctor shall experiment with his cattle, he will please report to Dr. Taylor. The manner of procedure would be to take the Balava of a sick cow, while in the stage of the disease that the matter is sore, and after mixing this in the feed, give it to an animal not affected.

A Very Bad Break.
There is one young fanner living noar Crawfordsville "to-day who is probably on the anxious bench. Wednesday lie brought a load of hay to the city' and sold tho same to a merchant on south AYashington street. The fanner drove tho loail to Craltbs & Reynolds' scales to hiivo it weighed. The gross weight was 3,330 pounds, and aTter deducting the weight of tho wagon the weightB and their difference were noted on tho firm's stubs and the corresponding coupons handed to the fanner to collect from. Ho took it and went away, but soon returned for a duplicate. This was given him and in about an hour the YVashington street niorchant came surging around to inquire about tho weight. It was thon found that the seller of the hay had raised tho weight from 3,330 pounds to 4,330, thus skinning the purchaser out of tho price or a 1,000 pounds of hay. Thorpruter stands in this way for tho time being, but it likely that some radical action will bo taken in the matter, as the purchaser is anything but a pleasant humor over the affair.
They All Want Burford.
Every one in Oklahoma is anxious that John Burford should bo appointed to succeed Gov. Stoelo, resigned. The following from tho Oklakoma City Gazette, a niocratic paper, shows how the untorrifiod would regard liis appointment: "Heading tho list of tho "favorably mentioned" in Oklahoma city is the name of Judge Burford, register of the land office, lie is also president of the Commercial Club, an organization ostensibly formed to push the business of Oklahoma City, but really being used as a lever to boost Republican politicians into office. Besides this alleged "inllooence" the Judgo is personally quiti genial and sociable and if he had a ghos'. of a chance of getting tho appointment wo don't know that it would create an serious riot in Oklahoma City, whatever the effect may be in Guthrie."
