.Preparing for Arbor Day.
On last Friday the pub! schools made preparations for Arbor Day which occurs next month. Each room elected the variety of tree to be planted by that room, the scholars doing the voting. The choice was restricted, however, to maple, elm amd ash trees. The names to be bestowed upon the trees were also voted on. These names were those of great authors and statesmen, and one room chose the name of Ben Harrison for its tree.

Will Hinkle, formerly connected with the jXetrs, but during the last five years editor anil publisher of the Democratic Crawfordsville Jiericir, is making it exceedingly warm for those of his party in Montgomery county whom he does not hesitate to call frauds and dead beatf.

Grandpa Arthur Dickerson has returned from his famous elopement escapade but has returned minus the bluehing and cooing Mrs. Springier, lie left her among relatives at Bainbridge, where she will remain until the clouds roll by and the good Mr. Springier gets a divorce. Then, indeed, will 75 year old Arthur give a whoop of joy ami go after her like a Keeley patient after bi-chloriile of gold. In the meantime Arthur will say nothing but carry the mail between New Boss and Beckville.
Guilty of Embezzlement.
Tno trial of Joe Devaney, charged with getting away with the'money and watch of Mrs. Belle Delaslimit, was productive of much mirth and not a little scandal. Prosecutor Moff'ett and W. E. Humphrey appeared for the State and llanna A: Hanna for the defendants. The jury after retiring on March •2f made up their verdict aud returned it. right away after dinner. They found Joseph guilty of embezzlement and sent him to tlie pen for two years lined him one dollar and disfranchised him. Joe seems to have gotten it in the neck to some extent.
The Ouiatenon Olub,
Tlie Ouiatenon club met March 2"i in Judge Harney's office and listened to an interesting paper by Bev. G. W. Switzer on "A Chapter In History." Mr. Switzer dealt with the founding* of the Dutch Bcpublij and the individuality of William the Silent Prince of Nassau. After the reading of the paper Prof. Campbell discussed the current topies and introduced for consideration the close vote in the silver question, the Behring sea trouble, and the discovery of zinc in Carroll county. Prof. Campbell seemed inclined to believe that there might be valuable zinc deposits near Delphi judging from the specimens he had received.
J-

The highest praise has been won by Hood's Pills for their easy, yet eilicient action. S
CRAWFORDSVILLE INDIANA SATURDAY, APRIL 2, i«t2.
A WINNING TTOKET.
Tlio Result of the Largest Primary Vote Ever Oast in tlie Uity is Satisfactory. Kn matter what would have been the outcome of Saturday's primary elections a winning ticket would have been nominated and the .Republican voters of the city of necessity must have been satislied. So much excellent material was there to choose from that an unusually large number of voters were attracted out to cast tlieir ballots. The vote was simply phenomenal and is but a harbinger of what Crawfordsville Republicans are going to do next May. It, was a late hour before the ballots were all counted and when at length the work was done the result in the several wards was found to be as follows:

Scot 717 The ticket is headed by a gentleman who has nothing against him and everything in favor of him. Mr. Bandel has been closely ident.tied with the cit\'s interests for years. He is well acquainted not only with every class of people here but with the need's and the requirements of the city in matters of reform, internal improvement and progress of every kind. He has been a member of the council and is peculiarly adapted to the position to which he wiil be elected,
Wm. E. Nicholson, tho candidate for treasurer, needs no better recommendation than his past able admininistratiou. He is popular, progressive and will be elected by the usual large majority.
C. M. Scott is again the candidate for Clerk, and again will be elected to the position he filled so ablv last term. Mit is all right in every way and is worthy of the honor he won without opposition.
John Brothers, the candidate for Marshal, has already demonstrated his entire fitness for the" place to which he has been nominated by a number of years of eilicient service 011 the police force of the city. He is honest, fearless, and thorough in the performance of his duty and will make a splendid Marshal.
Ben S. Myers, the candidate for tho Council in the First Ward, is the very man for the place. He represents not only the interests of his Ward but of the city as well, and is worthy of all confidence as a conservative, businesslike Councilman.
Austin Tomlinson, the candidate of the Second Ward, is one of tho city's most enterprising young business man. He has been engaged in the grocery business here for several years as a member or the firm of Tomlinson Scaggs and has hosts of friends who will see that ho is elected by a good round majority.
A. E. Reynolds is again up from tho old reliable Third Ward, and will be elected again by au increased niajoritv. During the last term he was one of the most active members of the Council and has obtained knowledge of the conditions and requirements of the citv that makes his presence in the'council chamber indispensable.
The 'Republicans have nominated a red hot ticket and will elect it by a red hot majority.
Ratified the Ticket,
The Morton Republican club met Monday night in its rooms in Elston block and after an interesting meeting, unanimously passed a resolution ratifying the Republican city ticket nominated last Saturday.
A HORRIBLE AOUTDENT.
Little Lee Keen, Son of Upton Keen, Meets a Horrible Fate. There was another hunting accident, shortly before noon March '20 with the usual horrible re.mlt. It seems deplorable but just so long as small boys are allowed to traverse the surrounding county with deadly shot guns, just so long may we expect terrible calamities. This morning little Lee Keen, the thir-teen-year-old .son of I'pton Keen, in company with "Chick" Boll, another coloied youth of verv tender years, started out for a hunting expedition. They circled about the country and shortly before noon were in the vicinity of the Iron Bridge. Tliey came to a high rail fence aud instead of climbing it the lads concluded to crawl under it.
Noting Keen started to go through and carefully pulled the gun after him, allowing it to trail on tin* ground. In some way, it will never lie known just how, the trigger was pulled and the gun discharged. The muzzle was close to the little fellow's leg and tho heavy charge tore through it and entered his face tearing off his nose and penetrating one eye. The leg was frightfully torn and the poor child rolled on the ground shrieking with agony while his companions ran for help. It arrived as soon as possible and the injured boy was taken to his fathers homo near the Dry Branch tressle.
Little Leo King, the colored youth who was so terribly shot while hunting Saturday, is still alive and bids fair to untiinately recover. Ilis leg was so badly shattered that it had to be amputated Saturday evening and the lad stood the operation very well. Ho has two shot in Inr forehead, two in his eyo just above the ball, two in his nose and a number scattered about over his fact*, but is standing his painful injuries with remarkable fortitude.
A TREMENDOUS ORASH
Of Lightning Knocks Isaoc W.Jones and His Team Into a Heap in the Road.
Isaac W.Jones,a well known and prosperous citizen of this county, living some six miles northwest of the city 011 the Attica road, suffered not a little in the thunder storm Saturday afternoon. He was going home with his team when the storm came tip in all its fury aud was driving along a little cross road near the place of the late James Mclntyre. Just as the team was ascending a little hill there came a terrific crash of thunder attended by a blinding flash of I'ghtning. When Mr. Jones recovered consciousness he was lying in the road under his wagon. Tho stroke had knocked the team down and thrown tho wagon from the trucks over into tho road on top of Mr. Jones crushing his ribs and badly injuring him in many other ways. Mr. Jones managed to extricate himself and suffering greatly crawled through the rain and mud to the Mcl.nt.yre place, a quarter of a mile away, where ho sank down in a fainting condition. Medical attendance was hastily summoned and all Saturday night his life was despaired of. He was also considered in a bad way all day Sunday, but was much brighter and bids fair to recover. Mr. Jones is a prominent citizen of the county and is a member of the G. A. R. Post of this city.
THEY STRUCK.'
A Lot of Young Men in Yount's Factory Go Out on a Strike. On March '20 about fifteen" young men, ranging in age rrom 15 to 2.'! years came straggling into the city "from Yountsville and iiegan to disport themselves after a manner peculiarly their own. Tbey were gay and festive strikers and had gone out of Yount's woolen lactory at Yountsvillo that morning. They were employed as carders and spinners and left work because their request for higher wages was refused. The factory has not shut down and will noffbavo to if the management sees fit to supply the places of the strikers with other men. The factory can run some days yet, however, without either carders and spinners and in the meantime the deficiency will probably be remedied. The strikers are enjoying their trip to town and so far consider a strike as a real jolly sort of a lark.
ELEGANT QUARTERS.
The First National Bank Leases the Oon Cunningham Room and Will Shine. llie 1'irst National Bank is determined to keep abreast of tho times and will shortly shino forth in elegantly furnished new quarters. On March '25 the bank authorities leased the Con Cunningham room on the southwest corner of Main and Washington streets for a period of ten years and as soon as Mr. Cunningham can remove his stock, they will go to work refitting tho room for banking purposes. It will be thoroughly refurnished and repaired and bo placed in elegant style. Mr. Cunningham will removo his stock to the room south of tho room he vacates. The bank is to bo congratulated upon tho move it is making and there is no doubt that die change will bo of material assistance to its business.

THE AGED FASTER IS DEAD.
Uncle Bazil Tracy, An 01.1 Pioneer, Dies After an Eight Weeks' Fast. I nolo Razil Tracy died at the home of Ins grandson-in-law, .letT Mills, of Wayne township, mi Murch 25 at an early hour at the advanced age or ill) years. For eight, weeks Ins death had been hourly expected and during that period he had taken 110 nourishment but merely managed to keep alive by reason oT his wonderful vitality. The funeral occurred Sunday morning at. Ill o'clock at Waynetown under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity of which the deceased was an old and honored member. His dying request was that Rev. Thomas (^uillen, of Crawfordsville, should deliver the sermon.
Mr. Tracy was born in Kentucky and although 11 man of small education lie always displayed rare business ability ami amassed a large fort,tine. Two years ago he owned '2,(100 acres of laud in this and Ronton county but about that time lie began to give it, around among his live children and his grandchildren and now a great law suit, is on hand to test the vaiidity of some of these gifts and also an alleged sale of land. Ilis grandson-in law, .lelV Mills, purchased a largo and valuable tract of land from tho old gentleman giving liini his notes for it. The other heirs assert that Jeff got around him and now has even the notes, the estate having absolutely nothing to show for the transfer. Mr. Mills enters a general denial and assorts that everything is perl'oetlv straight. A long legal battle will rosuit and some of the old pioneer's possessions will slip away bel'oro tho end is reached. Mr. Tracy died 011 the land I10 entered many years ago.
Joe's Fortune Was Told.
Lizzie Finney is the charming and entertaining little lady who runs the fortune telling emporium over Poole's grocery store and who is a neighbor of Mrs. Belle Delashmit, who was tho prosecuting witness against, one-eyed Joo Devaney in the larceny case. Finney as an article of femininity is simply delicious and as a fortune teller sho iB unsurpassed. About a week before Joo skipped with Lhe watch and boodle of the beautiful Relle, and while he WUH still basking in the tropk-al sunshine of that lair charmer's smiles, lie called upon Finney in company with said Belle to get his fortune told. Finney cut her gilt edge "squeezers" and pausing frequently during the running of the cards to gaze intently at their faces and mumble certain incantations she read Joes late as follows: "Umg! you are going to have trouble with a dark haired woman. (Joe's single eyo rolled fearfully toward Belle.) "I see trouble ahead but vou are going to get some money unexpectedly. More trouble with tho dark haired woman. You aro going to leave town but aro coining back again with a man in blue clothes with brass buttons, lie may bo a general but he looks like a policeman. Ah! three clubs in sequential order. Vou are going to make a long journey to the north. You are going to visit in a large liotol by the lakeside. Ton of diamonds! you will wear loud clothes and cut your hair short. Deuce of clubs! you shall never marry the dark haired woman. Despair.
Perhaps in the light of recent events Joe sees that Finney as a I'ortuno teller, is simply superb.
The Edwards Heirs Meet.
Tho court house was the scene of great expectations Thursday, March 21. In the small court room were assembled about twenty heirs of the famous Robert Edwards whose estate in the heart or Now \ork City is supposed to be worth 8300,000,000. They met at the instance of lvison Edwards, of Xenia, Ohio, who came to got their signatures to an '.lgreement for a compromise. By its terms tho heirs will settle with the present holders of the property for $205,000,000, or about a third less than its value. I his will give each of Robert Edwards' groat nephews and nieces who live in this community $551,210.05. The lucky ones are Mrs. H. J. Coleman, Curtis Edwards, Charles Edwards, Mrs. Jacob Miller, Mrs. Vincent Smith, Mrs. Sarah L. Luso, Mrs. Elizali Jano Smith, Mrs. Ellen McCormick and a second Curtis Edwards. Mr. Tvison Edwards says they will all gut their money by the middle of une, as will several other more distant relatives living here. In fact I10 positively states that .$155,000,000 has been deposited in tho bank at Now ork by tho unlawful holders of the estate as an evidence of good faith and that it only awaits tho signatures of all heirs to the compromise for a complete settlement. Mr. Iviso 11 Edwards is a mild mannered man but ho grew quite indignant in denying the statement of the Chicago .JonnmI that ho was a iraud and had boon sent to tho penitentiary for life.

HURRAH FOR HARRISON!"
Delectable Mr, Spinuler Assists His Wife To Elope With Grandpa Dixon. Mail carrier Arthur 1 ixon, a sweet girlish young man of 75 .summers, opporatos between New Ross and the village of Beekvillo, several miles east of this city, has eloped. Thereby hangs as racy a sensation as has been given wind hero tor some time, and is rendered all the more ridiculous from the fact that the "injured husband" assisted his "undut.if ul wife" to desert him. Mr. Spingler is a blacksmith by trade and until recently worked in 11 shop at. Sinartsburg. He left Smartsburg, so it is claimed, under considerable pressure, lie hauled up at Beckville and making that metropolis his headquarters, there deposited his beautiful and voluptuous wile, aged about 10 years. He would trot out, about the country and bo gone a week or ten days at a time. Now it came to pass that during these absences old grandpa Pixon would drop in 011 the charming Mrs. Spingler to make a neighborly call, and with the sort love light beaming through his watery old eyes he would sit and silently ogle tho delicious morsel by the hour, occasionally licking his withered chops most suggestively. Well, this sort ol' thing went on for some time and tinallv the heart, of the coy Mrs. Spingler softened toward tho ridiculous old vampire and it, is whispered that on sundry and divers occasions, she allowed bis palsied arm to slip around her wasplike waisti and listened as he told in trembling accents that, old, old story, which is always new to loving hearts. Whon bread-be-stowcr Spingler came homo on
March 21 his loving wife told him the condition of affairs and teased him like everything to let hor run oil' with grandpa Dixon. That is, it is supposed sho did, for it is mighty certain, gentle reador, that Mr. Spingler, was cognizant of tho proposed elopement, and, like the indulgent husband that, he is, gavo it his full sanction and consout. Not only that but ho assisted. In was arranged that Mrs. Spingler should meet her youthful lover at tlio crossroads, where he should await her with a buggy in which he was wont to carry Uncle Saui'a mail. At tho appointed hour Mrs. Spingler came trudging down tho road and at her side was her obliging husband gallantly carrying the satchel which contained her elaborate trousseau. She was gently assisted into tho lofty vehicle by grandpa Dixon pulling in front while Mr. Spingler pushed behind. Then tho whip was cracked, tho old horse gavo a start,, a mighty groan, and was off with the cooing elopers. Mr. Spingler stood in tho middle of the road looking after the departing couple with tears in his eyos which was very natural under tho circumstances, but with 11 heroic effort he choked down his grief and waiving his hat oVer his head he shouted enthusiastically: ,, "Hurrah for Harrison!"
That was all. The elopers went to Bainbridge where they intend to reside for the present. They say that as soon as a divorce (ran be secured they will marry. May tlioy live happily all the rest of their lives.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and proscribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced incurable. Science has proven catarrh to bo a constitutional disease, and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney .V Co., is the only constitutional cure on tlio market. It, is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of tho system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address.
