Their Hair Down Their Backs. A fad has just struck Crawfordsville which causes the average man to stare with terror as he pa.see along the streets. A great many of the young girls, and others of a rather uncertain age, are wearing their hair down their backs. It is permitted to flow freely, subject to the toying of every breeze and causing all the girls to resemble the "fair Ophelia" when in distrait. It is to be hop that the custom will not become universal, but if it does it is safe to say that the fad' will not be long enduring.

Hamp Is All Eisht.

Nov. 1-1 came into the clerk's office Mr. Hamp Smith, of Ripley township. Hamp wanted a marriage license and the name that went on with his was that of Miss Alice Follick, famous for her connection with the great chicken case and the damage6uit resulting from it. It wa- prov. in open court that Miss Follick did not steal "Old Spek" and "Long Neck" but there is certainly a clear case against her for stealing the heart of Hamp Smith.

Buy Them For Grandpa Krua\ The wonderful thirty-five year old team owned by Dr. Stowe Detchon, of New Richmond, has paled into insignificance. A brighter luminary has loomed up in the ancient quadruped horizon in the shape of an Indianapolis span of mules. Charley Dilkey, of Coal Creek, having been duly sworn, dtposes and says he knows of a surety and is morally certain that there is now in Indianapolis a span of mules, each of which is upwards of 55 years of age. They are now engaged in working on the streets and are serviceable animals.

Shrewd Advertisers,

There are three or four advertisers in The Journal whom we feel like congratulating. They have found the secret of successful advertising and are attracting as a consequence considerable attention. This secret is, as The Joi'hnaTJ has frequently sought to impress on the minds of Crawfordsville business men, that advertisements ought to be changed frequently. A farmer who would plant seed in the ground and then stand idly around waiting for a crop would be counted a fool. Unless he cultivates the lield with frequent plowings there will be no crop to speak of. Just so with an advertisement. The merchant cannot expect to reap a harvest of trade from a newspaper space however large unless it is cultivated by frequent changes. These changes should be made at least once a week in the Daily and twice a month in the Weekly. You furnish the copy, we do the rest.

A Rough Shot.

The editorial writer of the New York Trtbune is "onto" the special correspondents of Crawfordsville and Goshen, Indiana, in great style. The following is the way in which he begins a column editorial on a peculiar divorce suit: "A divorce suit of a most curious oharacter is said to be imminent at Waynesville, Ohio. In point of absolute fact? the matter is reported from Waynetown, Indiana, but such a great number of remarkable occurrences have happened in Indiana during the past few months that we feel fully justified in transfering this to Ohio. Indiana has never done anything that entitles her to a monopoly of these things."

In the write up which follows the Crawfordsville correspondents together with those of other Indian towns are guyed in a most unmerciful manner as being the champion liars of the world. The article is rich but for all that the Indiana correspondents headed by "that liar from Goshen" are Btrictly in it.

Shepp'n Photographs of the World. Ira C. Powers is delivering Shepp's photographs of the world. The book consists of panoramic views of cities, street scenes, public buildings, cathedrals, mosques, churches, palaceB. temples, observatories, castles, homes of noted people, etc., etc., collected from all over the world, forming the largest and most valuable collection of works of art extant. Every lover of art should have a copy. ww.

OUR WILLIE.

Moves to Covington, Whips His Wife and Then Tries to Burn the House, Help mo! Help me! my husband wants to kill me, was the cry of a woman on the streets of Covington Tuesday evening. It was the wife of Win. Miliigan, a hard working house mover who lately moved there from this town, though he had only lived here a slio-t time, having moved from Stone Bluff. She was sent to Prosecutor Bingham for the necessary protection and hail hardly reached his olllco when a cry of fire was made. It was found tnat their resilience was on fire. William had piled the household goods in the center of the room and set them on fire anil was standing on the outside watching them burn. Good citizens soon extinguished the flames and William was marched to jail. He hud a hearing before Mayor Martin and placed under 81,000 bond, in default of which he was sent to jail to await the action of the court. William has one bad fault, he drinks too much and don't know when to stop. He is a good-hoarted fellow, don't mean to do anyone harm and if his wife was as good a woman as ho is a niah, they certainly would livo ti much happier life, tit least that is our opinion. 1 'eederxhuryh Newx.

Mr. Miliigan until recently lived in Crawfordsville. He seems to have been on the fly since leaving.

Two New Clubs.

Fifteen young gentleni.n residing in the vicinity of the Plum street station, have formed themselves into a club and rented the rooms over Barnhart's grocery to meet in. Here can be found all the best newspapers, magazines and other reading matter. Tho rooms are open to club members at all hours of tho day and make a splendid meeting place. Social amusement is the object of the association, and everything points to a successful career. The following are the members: John Burbridge, Will Sidner, Charles Wasson, Geo. Robinson, Geo. Dollick, Harry Vance, Geo. Hills, John Birch, Bert ]3onson, Lon Whittaker, Howard Galey, Fred Hoover, Oscar Chapman, Harry Pierson, and Cal Geingrich.

A number of young men about town have organized a literary society modeled after the Ouiatenou. The following are the officers: F. P. Mount, president: Harvey Ransom and J. L. Shrum, vice presidents: Robert Whitford, secretary: Robert Caldwell, treasurer. The meeting will be held fortnightly, the first on next Friday evening in tho'office of John L. Shrum, at which timo O. D. Humphrey will read a paper on "William Morris." This new organization is known as the "Yandes Coterie." The membership is large and enthusiastic.

C-'r'A'', A Flattering Distinction. The last issue of tho Literary Monthly contains an account of the appointment of Edwin Seely Lewis to the positionof first assistant inRoman Languages at Johns-Hopkins University. The position is a most desirable one and is usually held by men of middle life and long experience. Mr. Lewis graduated from Wabash College in the class of '88 and went immediately to John-Hopkins where he has been ever since pursuing the study o1" the Roman languages. He liar won many prizes, medals, and fellowships and has now been appointed to a responsible and lucrative position.

The Teacher's Association. The county teacher's association which will lie held in the Thanksgiving vacation promises to bo of unusual interest, this year. A number of good lecturers have been obtained, among thorn Prof. R. G. Boone, of the State University, Prof. Riley. Prof. Warfel, Rev. G. W. Switzer and one or two of the Wabasn College professors. A lady lecturer will also be a feature. There will be literary exercises by the young folks of the everything done to one of flu* greatest enjoyment.

What Next.

It is now reported that Jim Starke Avho "tore down that flag" in Clark township is a lineal descendent of the famous revolutionary General Starke, who at the battle of Bennington turned to the boys, saying, "Men, there are the red coats. We defeat them, or Mollie Starke is a widow to-night." This may be true but if it is, the descendent Jim, is not exactly following in the steps of his heroic ancestors.

Death of an Old Citizen.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, aged 79 years, died Oov. 14, at 10 o'clock of general debility at her home in Whitesville. She has been a resident of this county since 1837. She was the wife of David Thompson who died about nine years ago. The funeral occurred Monday at the Christian church at Whitesville. Interment at tho Odd Fellows cemetery in this city.

"Il TERRIBLY AFFLiUTED.

v-,,

Diphtheria Carries Away the Three Children of Mariin Russell and Wife. Martin Russel and wife livo several miles north of this city in tho vicinity of Linden. They are childless now but on October 28 had three bright a.id pretty children of an interesting age. It was a happy family and everything seemed bright and happy. Suddenly one day the children took colds and in few hours tho little five-year-old daughter, Georgie, died of a pronounced case or diphtheria. It was a terrible blow to the parents but their attention was occupied in attending to their other daughter, Ella, aged nine, who was also taken down with the same disease. For a week they fought death only to be vanquished in tho end.- The grief of the parents was terrible and the poor mother was unconscious the greater part, of the time during the funeral. They had scarcely returned from burying little Ella when their third i.nd last child, Raymond, a bright three-year-old boy, was also seized by the terrible disease. With sickened hearts the parents awaited the final and inevitable end.

Death camo Saturday afternoon and the burial occurred Sunday. The scene at the cemetery is said to have boon harrowing in tho extreme. Mrs. Russel was wild with distraction and fainted threo times during tho short monies at the grave. The last time sho could not bo brought to her senses and was taken home in tho hack as one dead. Mr. and Mrs. Russel are co nplotely prostrated and take apparently no interest in their surroundings. Mr. Ltus sel had been peculiarly unfortunate in his children, by a former marriage ho had eight. Seven of those and his wifo died within a short time of each other and now all that is left to him of eleven children is one son, a young man grown.

Joe Hicks Speaketh.

The Cincinnati Kntjuircr of yesterday contained a sensational dispatch from Crawfordsville, giving what purported to have been the elopement of .Too Hicks, "an Indianapolis barber," with Miss Nannie Goslin,. daughter of "the wealthiest man in Brown's Valley," the mple, as alleged, being closely pur sued by tho irate father of tho young lady, tho old gentleman being armed with a double-barrel shotgun doubl shotted.

In tho light of cold faits the story bo comes at once divested of its sensational dress. Joseph Hicks, the brdegroom, for the past seven months has been employed at Howard L. Hunt's barber shop on Washington street, near Mississippi. Ho was born and raised in Brown's Valley, whore his parents, win are respectable, well-to-do people, now reside. His family have for years lived adjacent to the home of tho Goslins, and the children of both families were school-mates and play-fellows. Joe Hicks and Miss Goslin lon since entered into a marriage engagement,, the same being opposed by the young lady's parents. On Monday evening last Miss Goslin camo to Indianapolis, and, Tuesday evening, at the residence of Mr. and Sirs. Ed Hunt, 282 Blackford street, she and Mr. I Licks wore quietly united in marriage. The young couple have since remained in this city, and the groom is pursuing his vocation at the J1 tint, establishment. He is much chagrined at he story sent out, from Crawfordsville, and cannot account for it. /nilittiHtpulix Journal

CLOSED UP.

Diphtheria in the Central School Building Affords a Vacation. Last Saturday the little daughter of Earnest F. Dorsey. tho janitor of the central school building, was taken with the diphtheria. Information was at once lodged with the school board and that, body went into a Sunday session next morning. The matter was thoroughly dismissed and action promptly taken. All the children of Mr. Dorsey exec,it the alllicted one were sent to the country in order that they might es capo the contagion. The sick child will receive every attention during the week, and as the ease is no an alarming one it is hoped that it. will lie sufficiently recovered by the end of the week to warant, its removal. In this case the place will be thoroughly fumigated and gad weilding will bo resumed as of yore next Monday morning. This week there was no school at the cent ral building, but there was at the Mills, Willson and Lincoln schools. The teachers and pupils of the central building are free to read, gossip, hunt or wade about in the water according to several inclinations.

There are a number of cases of diphtheria about the city, but, so far as learned no very dangerous ones. Thero.fi have been no deaths as yet, and it is to be hoped that tho matter will find a ., close within a week or so. In the meantime parents cannot exercise too much'!: precaution as the weather at present is most, dangerous for the exposure of children who have passed several months" confinement in tho school room.

State Farmers' Institute. .•

To I lie ICilltor The Joiirniil. I believe it was in your issue of the 24th of October in giving notice of the Stato Fanners' Institute that you said: "No fanner in Montgomery county can afford to miss that meeting." Now I do not take issue in your saying that, but WLiild if possible emphasize it, but might you not have said or continued anil said can any one in this city afford to bo absent. Now there is a mtitus dependence betwo«n each that cannot divorced. Ever_ merchant, lawyer mechanic or day laborer's success depends on the success of the farmer. 11' tho crops fail or prices are low how soon every merchant feels its effect or tho mechanic ceases to find remunerative employment. I am heartily glad that, this intor-dopendonco is going to be dis cussed at the next meeting. It is true that no fanner can afford to lose this privilege for not one of them, even if lie is afraid of book farming, but what, can learn something, or if ho does know all there is in fanning he is just, the man we want, for those of us that do attend do not, and wo want him to give us some of his knowledge. Another reason all pay the tax that run these institutes, so they had as well receive the benefits. There is one class that can least afford to miss these meetings and they are the thoroughbred stock raisers. For 1 have never yet heard one in these meetings',^ advocate anything but a thoroughbred sire, still with one or two exceptions they never darken the door. Finally can any lady in the county afford not to see and hear Mrs. Meredith and Mrs.

Worley. They not only have a Stato but a National reputation. As the Governor has seen fit to honor them can they afford to do less. IMrs. Meredith has one of the finest herds of short, liotn cattle in the Stale, and it is so by her good judgment and care. So let, us find out her plans. Let, all be on hands regard le-ss of occupations or "previous^ conditions." il. M. MimjINohlkv

Pony Hesitating.

Pony "Moody, the would-be saloon keeper of Waveland, is hanging on the ragged edge. He has been told that il he Btarted up he would bo baptized in his own beer in the middle of the street. The prospect was so vory encouraging that Pony is hesitating and will feel tho public pulse a little longer before "launching his frail craft on tho great sea of intemperance."

Short Delay.

Owing to the late inclement weather and to the fact that tho Choster Pipe and Tube Company delayed the game a week by failing to get in the pipe as it was needed we will not have gas quite as soon as was thought. It may be that the stuff will not be burning here before December 10 and it certainly will not before December 7. A great hustle will be made, however, and it will arrive on the very first train. ^,
