CAMPAIGN RATES.

The Crawfordsville Journal Until January For 50 Gents. The political campaign of 1592 i3 now on and Tiie Chawfoud.sviu.i:Jockxai, propos­

es to take a hand in it. The family in America is inquiring into political questions

for its own interests and when all people are in an inquiring and receptive mood the most effective agency for the good of the Republican party is the party newspaper. It excels all campaign documents it goes regularly to the home. Tlie local party newspaper is the campaign strength of the party. Our county committee should bend its energy to extending the circulation of the county party pauer. Every Republican club should obtain lists of all doubtful

voters, and should see that such voters are supplied with this party newspaper. Tiie Journal should be utilized first the State paper should stand next, and the national paper come third. People believe most in the paper that is nearest to them, and is identified with their interests. One live, strong, well-edited, good-humored, whole­

some Republican paper will do more good toward makinir Republican votes in a family than a hundred campaign documents.

A Six-foot Racer.

Thursday afternoon as Wni, Dickerson was climbing one of the bluffs on the bank of Sugar Creek he seized hold of what appeared to him to be a root to draw himself up. The root proved to be a six foot blue racer, moreover, and William has not yet recovered from his fright.

Are You Going.

Over 50 persons from this place have already engaged berths on the sleepers for the Knights Templar excursion to Denver. Others wishing to secure berths should notify ,T. R. Bonnell as soon as possible. The excursion leaves here on a Big Four special ou August 6 at '2 p. m.

May Drop Chemistry as Taught,, The school board is seriously considering the propriety of dropping chemistry as it is now taught in the high school laboratory. It is advised that the laboratory work be dropped as inexpedient and that chemistry be taught in future merely from a manual as in most other high schools in the State.

ill Build Up a NeighborhoodWalter L. Miller, of Tennessee, has purchased through Cumberlnnd it Miller, 12 lots from Joseph Milligan on Milligan street. He will at once proceed to erect desirable houses on these lots and will build up a first class neighborhood. His wife is with him and they will make their future home here. The houses which Mr. Miller builds will be for sale or rent and some of them will be quite large and fine residences. The west end is rapidly coming to the front as a residence quarter.

Has Given Up Early.

J. W. Bartlett, one of the most prominent Democrats of Muncie, was in the city on July 1 the guest of Jere Voris. Mr. Bartlett has given up all hopes of Cleveland's election and thinks Indiana is hopelessly lost to the Democracy through the failure to nominate Gray. He says the gas belt will go overwhelmingly Republican and estimates the Republican gain there through the manufacturers in the last two years more than enough to overcome the Democratic poll of the State four years ago, which by the way failed to pan out.

The Pythian Band.

On Saturday night the first concert will be given over Wampler's store on Main street. It is expected that the K. of P. will furnish uniforms for this new organization, "n-

A Failine Off.

There is a falling off in the number of divorces granted in the circuit court for the year ending with the May term. Only 36 were granted (29 to woman and 7 to men) but for some reason there has been an unusually large number gone over for trial in the fall so we need not become discouraged at all. Quite a number were refused and quite a number dismissed at the "plaintiff's cost," too, so the market was perhaps about as brisk as usual last year. Just at present, however, the outiook is far from encouraging. There hasn't been a divorce case filed for fully three weeks and it is enough almost to drive one to the belief that marriage is a success. Still a good healthy boom may be expected at any time so we will not at present indulge in any gloomy croakings.'

ORAWFORDSVILLE INDIANA SATURDAY, JULY

The Fourth at Darlinsrton.

Special to The .Journal. DARLINGTON, July 5.—The fourth at this place was a howling success. Young America opened the ball promptly at two minutes past twelve in the morning by the ringing of bells, blowing steam whistles and every contrivance calculated to make a noise. Later came the firing of cannons until daylight when the crowd commenced coming. Main street was never so well decorated as then. Thompson Bros, tot the cake on the greatest display. The parade was formed promptly at ten o'clock and marched to the park. The time until noon was occupied by singing and the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Prof. Galloway. The address by Rev. Godfrey in the afternoon was pronounced by' all to be the best. Fully one thousand persons were held spell bound for one hour. The crowd was large, the order good. The merry-go-round and the Garfield band were here. The fire works was the best ever seen in town. Everybody was satisfied but a few kickers and as it is always the case those kicking most had not invested a cent.

fair Association Meets.

The directors of the fair association held their monthly meeting Saturday morning in the small court room and transacted considerable routine business. In addition several other little matters arose for disposal.

It was decided to make an addition 30 feet square at the northwest corner of lloral hall. This has been demanded for several years and is rendered absolutely imperative this year by the increased applications for room there.

The secretary was authorized to visit the Danville, 111., races and attempt to secure a contract from the Misses Grimee, daughters of Geo Grimes, for some exhibitions in riding during the fair.

A committee from the Ladies' Aid Society of the Christian church was present desirous of obtaining the dining hall privilege this year. The committee was referred to Paul Hughes who has the privilege to sell it to the highest bidder.

A Crawfordsville Girl.

Miss Alfrey was tho first graduate to appear and read her essay, which was entitled '•Knowledge, the Spring of the World's Activity." In man, Miss Alfrey said, the propensity was to know to understand the tendency was toward progress and a longing for something higher, an enlarged sphere of usefulness and knowledge. Man was ever restless, ever striving after attainments. An intelligent awakening, in Miss Alfrey's thought, was a tembney toward God, a desire to know Him to understand Him thoroughly and to live our lives in His precepts and teachings. Miss Alfrey, as indeed all the graduates, read her essay in a charming manner, with a well modulated voice. Vocal culture is one of the strong points in the St. Marv's course.—Terra Haute Gazette.

Hicks' Forecasts For July, July will open very warm, with thunder storms about the 2d and 3d. Cooler weather will follow, reaching all central regions during the 4th. The Cth is the center of another warm spell, with v,orminess and some rain on and next to that date. From the 12th to 16th, expect one of the "heated terms" of the summer. The 13th and 14th will likely be the hottest of this period, ending in thunder storms. Cooler up to about the 19th, the regular reactionary days. From 23d to 25th will also prove extremely warm, with promise of rain, wind and thunder about 23d, 24th and 25th. The storm movements will appear at regular times, perhaps violently, but rainfall will not be abundant. Month ends hot with summer storminess prevailing.

Epidemic at Elwood.

A gentleman who lives in Crawfordsville, was in the city this morning on his way home from Elwood. He reports a deplorable condition of affairs existing there. He says that a few days ago a mysterious disease broke out there, which the doctors later declared to be the dreaded black tongue. Diphtheria is also raging. Yesterday, he said, one hundred and fifty families loft the town and many more this morning, in fact everybody seemed to be stampeded and trying to get away. The diseases are thought to have resulted from the utter lack of drainage, and the general lack of sanitary conditions. Several hundred cases aro reported.— Frankfort Crescent.

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER

Causes Poor Little Ray Doualdson to Tu&e

His Life,

Saturday's JOI'HNAL contained a rumored account of a tragedy said to have occurred at the home of Harry Krug in St. Joe, Michigan. Later developments prove tho truth of the rumor although the details aro not exactly as furnished to Tin-: JOURNAL in tho first place. It appears that Grace liobb has beon making hor homo with Harry and his wife for some time past and being naturally a very attractive girl has had numerous admirers. One young man, or rather young boy, was particularly attentive and the whole town noticed tho childish affection which seemed to exist between them. Ray Donaldson and Miss Gracie Robb were always together, at parties, picnics and socials. Thov delighted to stroll along the docks and in the parks adjacent to the town. Young Donaldson was of good family, being the son of one of St. Joe's most prominent merchants and ho himself bare a splendid reputation being a constant attendant at Sunday school and a member of the Young People's Society. Nothing was thought of the intimacy existing betwoon him and Grace and Mr. and Mrs. Krug tolerated it good iiumoredly supposing that in the course of a few months at furtherest that things would assume their normal condition. But when everything seemed loveliest a disturbing factor appeared in the person of a relative of Mr. Krug, who took rooms at his house. He was an attractive young man and paid some little attention to Miss Grace, although not more than to any other young lady of his acquaintance. But young Donaldson w.is inordinately jealous and would brook no sharer in Grace's company. On the morning of the shooting they took a long walk on the docks and were not iced to have a lively little quarrel. Th-y walked home without passing any words but in the afternoon Ray called again. He was in tho parlor some time with Miss Grace and the quarrel was resumed. Finally the lad ran from the house and drawing a revolver shot himself. Ho then staggen back into tho house and fell unconscious. He was picked up tenderly and medical aid quickly summoned. He was taken to his father's house and yesterday evening he was stiil alive* although expected to die at any hour. His parents are almost distracted over the alT'iir as indeed are Mr. and Mrs. Ivrug and Miss Robb. Mr. and Mrs. Krug never opposed the young man's keeping company with Miss Grace cs was at first reported and regarded him merely as a good little boy who was undergoing his first love experience. The desperate state of his feelings were never for a moment imagined even by his most intimate friends and the sad tragedy was a shock to the whole community where all parties stand so high. Miss Grace Robb, who left here two or three years ago, is but little more than a child and her many friends here deeply sympathize with her. She refuses to say anything whatever in regard to tho matter and is wisely keeping hor own council although newspaper representatives ha'se visited her by the score.

HE APPEALED.

The Sweet Poet of Ripley Township Falls With a Dull, Sickening1 Thud. James Elmore, the sweet poet of Ripley township and candidate who lately posed before the Democratic convention for Representative, has come to grief. When not engaged in writing poetry, farming or doing political work Mr. Elmore whiles away the time in teaching school. It rejoices his heart to be present at the teachers' institutes and read his poems and he usually standB up as a pretty big gun. He was a candidate for county Superintendent at the last election and thinks that what he don't know about educational matters isn't worth knowing. If it wasn't for the teachers' examinations other people might think the same thing but in the light of recent events they can't. Mr. Elmore was present at a late examination and tried his luck. To say that ho was outraged when Supt. Zuck reported that he had secured but a twelve months' license is putting it inildlv. He fairly howled and descended on the superintendent's oflico with all his war paint on. Mr. Zuck offered to go over his papers and BIIOW him that he had been treated very liberally in being awarded a twelve months' license. But Elmore wouldn't have it. He wanted justice and at least a two years' license. Finally, however, he consented to allow the papers to bo regarded by a committee consisting of Charles. Pease, of Waynetown, and Perry Martin, of this city, and to abide by their decision. The committee met last Saturday and went over the papers carefully. The decision of both Pease and Martin was that the manuscript was not even worth a six months' license and therefore Mr Elmore will have to take another examination to get to teach at all. Mr. Zuck, when questioned in regard to the matter, stated that the complaints of severity made in regard to the office are all bosh. He states that Elmore's case is only one of many cases of clemency and, then where there is the slightest ohanco the applicant is granted a li

MUNICIPAL REFORM.

The Meeting Sunday Night Proves to Be

One of Considerable Interest. On Sunday night nearly ovory seat in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium was occupied and tho Union meeting in favor of municipal morality proved to bo quite a success. After singing and prayer Hon. P. S. Kennedy was introduced and delivered an address on "Obedience to Law." Mr. Kennedy held that in a Republic it was the first duty of every patriotic citizen to obey the laws of the land. The man who violated them was in effect if not word a traitor to his country. Tho violation of the liquor laws, Mr. Kennedy believed, was tho most ilagrant of all violations not punished by penitentiary imprisonment, and much worse than many crimes that are so punished. To insuro a strict observance of laws the children as a great body must be taught to respect the will of their parents and teachers, and then no apprehension need bo felt but that tLey will obey the laws of tho commonwealth. But wo need not wait to raise up a new generation to enforco tho existing laws. Public sentiment favors their enforcement and all that is needed is an arousal of public sentiment to a sense of its duty. This the one thing essential and needful.

is

Mr. Kennedy was followed by Rev. G. Switzer, who spoke both forcibly and sensibly on Sunday closing, saying in eilect that the statutes for closing should be enforced, not only for moral reasons, but for physiological reasons as well. Tho man who is worked every day will not laBt nearly as many days of actual work as tho man who is worked only six days out of seven. Scientists and doctors recognize this and are insisting on the enforcement of Sunday closing laws for this reason if for no other. The reason that Sunday stores have existed in this city lies primarily with the buyer and only secondarily with the seller. If there were no demand for tho stores to keep open tho stores surely would bo closed on tho Sabbath day. Coming to the Sunday saloon Mr. Switzer made some very pointed and tolling remarks. He held that tho officers of tho law were not wholly responsible for tho law's nonenforcement so long as the community tolerated tho evil. It devolved on every citizen to bear his part in suppressing tho liquor traffic and Mr. Switzer believed that a screen ordinance would bo just about the thing. Mr. Switzer road a report which had been submitted to him by some anonymous individual who claimed to have kept watch on tlio saloons of Muhleisen and Karle. the White Front and the Owl saloon on Sunday morning. Tho man claimed to have seen them go into these places in droves of dozens. Ho was able to recognizo but six, however, and furnished thoir names. Mr. Switzer declined to give these, however, although the audience shouted loudly, "read thom." It is not unlikely that in this matter the ministers were imposed upon as the man who is suspected of furnishing tho list is known as a notorious stretcher of the long bow, and the six names he furnishod aro probably the names of twothirds ho saw enter, if not all. When

W

Mr. Switzer closed it was after 9 o'clock so the meeting adjourned with the doxology and the benediction by Rev. G. P. Fuson.

M'CAMPBELL-BRITTON.

The Fortunes of Two Popular Young Peo­

ple United at the Christian Ohurch. A very pretty wedding occurred on June 30 at the Christian church which united the fortunes and lives of two of Crawfordsville's most popular and worthy young people, Mr. Claude Earl McCampbell and Miss Lena Britton. The church was comfortably filled with the friends of the contracting parties, who were seated by the ushers, Hiram Connard and Hubert Wilhite. At eight o'clock Miss Grace Blandin, of Frankfort, began playing Mendelssohn's wedding march by which the bridal party entered. The groom entered at tho oaet door and proceoded to the altar attended by Messrs. Ed Tucker, B. F. MeClamrock and Tyro McCampboll. Tho bride entered at the west door and was attended by Misses Bertie Dillman, Mina Wilkinson and Fannie Britton. She was attired in a beautiful gown of white silk crepo lace, trimmed with chiffon and carried a large bunch of briJe's roses. Arrived at tho altar tho marriage Bervice was performed by Rev, E. T. Lane, of Lebanon, in a most impressive manner. Tho ritual used was that of the Christian church and was abridged. Immediately at the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. McCampbell were driven to tho home of the bride's father, Thomas Britton, where a largo reception was tendered them. Mr. and Mrs. Britton received, and guests to tho number of about sixty were presented on entering to Mr. and Mrs. McCampbell. The rooms of entertainment were handsomely decorated with potted plants and cut'fiowers while tho chandeliers and mantels were tastefully trimmed with smilax and other vines. Choice refreshments were served and tho evening was passed most enjoyably by all present. Company I, in which the groom was formerly an officer, arrived during tho course of the entertainment and fired a salute in honor of the happy occasion. On the midnight train Mr. and Mrs. McCampbell left for their future home in Danville, Ills, attended by the best wishes

DR. KANE DECLINES.

He Decides That He Cannot Consistently Accept the Presidency of Wabash College.

Dr. Kane has written a letter to Dr. John L. Campbell formally declining to accept tho presidency of Wabash college. The letter was received Sunday morning and was in tho nature of a surprise to Dr. Kane's friends in Crawfordsville who wero comparatively certain that he would accept the proffered honor. Dr. Kane's conduct during his visit here, and at Indianapolis and the quotations made of him by the LaFayotte papers all pointed to his acceptance and everyone thought the game was safely landed. To be sure Dr. Kane did not say that he would come and did say that ho had not yet made up hiR mind but from sundry words ho let drop evory one was led to believo that he would accept. So his declination was in the nature of a surprise as well ns a disappointment. In his letter ho stated that he appreciated tho honor but did not foel that ho could accept tho position consistently. It is supposed that upon his return to Bloomington that his congregation went after him with a long stick and rather than incur their sore displeasure Dr. Kane decided against his own proforence in tho matter. Tho question of the presidency is now as much of a question as it was six months ago. The trustees Btate that they have no idea who will next fill the jilace. Of course, Dr. Jeffers is now entirely out of tho race and will not oven be considered. It would be no great surprise, however, if tho next president would bo a man who has not been engaged in the ministry. Things seem to point that way just now. The trustees thus far have confined their search for a president almost entirely to this profession and it is now likely that they will look about in anotlior direction. There seems to bo no reason why they should not as Wabash college needs a president moro than it does a pastor and Dr. Kane was olocted rather for his executive ability than for his reputation as a pulpit orator.

THEY WANT TO SELL.

Tho Dove Tail Body Company Wishes to

Dispose of its Plant,

The board of directors of tho Dove Tail Body Company held an important meeting last week and resolved, after discussing tho situation, to offer the plant for sale. There is invested the plant the sum of 81!),000 and to make expenses there has to bo sold each year at loast 825,000 worth of tho factory's production. Tho plant employs 20 hands and expends 810,000 a year for labor alone. In order to make money the plant would have to have §25,000 more put in it in the way of now machinery and buildings, and it could then be made to pay largo dividends tho directors are satisfied. They, however, have thoir investments elsewhere and are consequently constrained to offer the plant for sale. It is feared that it will be purchased by parties outside of the city and removed.
