At 7::il) o'clock p.m.
Mr. Marine is one of the best speakers on the hustings in this State and a large audience should greet him.
Schools Closed.
The Waynetown schools were closed this morning on account of diphtheria. There are three cases in the town and the inhabitants are badly frightened. The salary of the teachers go right on like Tennyson's brook.
At Auction.
Judge Harney has ordered Hon. P. S. Kennedy to sell at public auction for the benefit of the creditors the Dove Tail Body Works. The auction will occur as soon as the necessary three weeks publication has been made.
An Outrage. ».
Last Tuesday some one while foraging for grapes or pawpaws let down the fence on Isaac Stover's farm and all Lis horses got out and were soon across the creek at the scene of the late wreck where the morning freight coming south caught them, killing two outright and crippling a fine colt until it is doubtful if it will ever be of any use.
Death of Mrs. Abigail Gregory. Mrs. Abigail Gregory died at her home in Garden City. Kansas, this week. Through a mistake of the physician she was given a dose of a deadly drug which resulted in her death. She was the w:dow of the late Samuel Gregory, who at one time was a prominent citizen of this county. She was also a sister of Reece McGilliard, of this city.
Wants Damages.
Through Wright & Sellar, his attorneys, Ed Halpin brought suit against the city for §1,000 damages. Mr. Halpin was injured some time since while at work on the central cchool building and upon the council's refusal to grant him damages he determined to bring suit. The case will be stubbornly contested on both sides.
Vory Missed Connection.
Vory Brookshire was booked for a speech in Darlington Tuesday night but missed his train and so failed up. Judge Seller was on hand, however and entertained the audience by reciting a a well written poem entitled "How I Broke My Yearling Steers." It was a touching recital and brought tears to many eyes. In fact it drove several worthy members of the congregation to drink.

Gaining in Strength.
Under the able tutelage of Capt. G. W. Lamb Company I is every night'engagod in drilling and is rapidly acquiring rare proficiency in the manual of arms. The ranks are swelling and when the time comes for the World's Fair trip there will be an enrollment of over 60. Five were enrolled last uight. The company will have to pay its own way to Chicago as the Legislature made no appropriation,but the roads have reduced the fare to one cent a mile and when the militiamen arrive there they will be housed and fed free of charge.
.She Oroaked Not In Yain. Mrs. Mary Wolever and her son- Mr. Charles Wolever, are rejoicing with a lurid joy over the recovery of the jewelry which was stolen from them and which Madame Crowe predicted would be returned by the thief. Sure enough it was for the other night it wasthrown over the back fence and found in the morning all covered with dew which sparkled like countless diamonds on the blades of the green, grassy grass. Mr. Charles is now wearing bis gold watch again and his broad smile of complacency is large enough to shelter a sad eyed Missouri mule, .w-nsw

A THRILLING AUOIDLNT.
Dr. Southerliu Goes Against a Ohuuk of Atropia With Almost Fatal Results. l)r. Southerlin, of the Southerlin Institute for inebriates, had an experience October 4 which ho wiil have cause to remember for some time. He was returning home from a visit to town and had in his hand a bottle containing a number of pills made of atropia, a deadly drug which afFects the action of the heart and brain, and of which 1-60 of a grain is a large dose. Dr. Southerlin had a curiosity to taste atropia, and for the sake of curiosity placed one of the pills on his tongue. In some way, he does not clearly understand how, he swallowed it. He knew his peril instantly and rushing home swallowed an emetic with only a fair result. Ho was too late and in a few minutes was out of his mind. He begun to rave and

Captain Layne, who was present, summoned all the inmates. They seized the Doctor and held him on the bed while Dr.Jones was hastily called. The patient had to be held all night and rolled liis eyes and fought in a most horrible manner. He was on the border of tetanio convulsions but was today pronounced out of danger. The whole case was a most peculiar one.
Attempted Kidnapping.
Mose Bowman, the well known colored man whose chief occupation seems to be hunting trouble and who is known in polite circles as "Mose the Moke," was in the city Tuesday and succeeded in getting into a fight with a white man and nearlv meeting his death at the hands of his divorced wife. Mose came here with the avowed intention of stealing his two children, Miss Nancy and Master "Hope," both beautiful and well behaved children as children go. Mose was hnrdl as foxy, however, as he had adjudged himself to be and when he came prowling about the prt-.mises of his wholom irlnor he met the trouble for which he ln.'d so long been hunting. He was just placing before the receptive minds of Nancy and "Hope" the advantages to be derived by their placing their feot under his table in another town when the mother of the children swooped down upon him with a burnished butcher knife which gleamed in the soft afternoon sun like the nickel plating on a prize cook stove. Mose iled as he had good need and his tracks show that he raised dust only every 15 feet. He hnd a narrow escape with his life and pretty little Nancy and pert little "Hope" are safe for the present at least.
Scarcity of Good Attractions.Crawfordsville, and in fact all other towns under 20,000 population are having great trouble in securing good attractions for their theaters this season. Only a few good shows can bo obtained and the dates consequently have to be let to Docks of jays and barn storming brigades. The reason of this lies in the fact that the per cent of theater goers in large cities is constantly growing larger and the number of theaters greater. All first class attractions endeavor to book for long stands and consequently do but little flying about the country as they did formerly. The small places are thus squeezed out and it is only when a theater burns or a good company has a week between stands that they come in for anything respectable.

WANT THE LAW ENFORCED.
The Saloon Keepers' Union Make an Interesting Visit to Mayor Bandel. Late Tuesday afternoon a committee from the Saloon Keepers' Union made a call on Mayor Bandel at his office in the city building. The comnrttee was headed by Otto Schlemmer who acted as spokesman and stated the object of the visit. Mr. Schlonuner stated that the members of the Saloon Keepers' Union desired to live up to the law of the land and further that they desired all the protection the statutes afforded them. He complained bitterly of the business done by the several disreputable joints outside the city limits on the pike roads. Mr. Schlemmer stated, and not without warrant, as everyone well knows, that these joints are operated in defiance of all law and decency. Their proprietors, he said, were holding government license only, but for all that openly and without attempt at con cealirent, sold in lesB quantities than quart and at all hours on all days. He also denounced the dives within the city limits which operate on the same docu ments and declared that they defied the law and greatly damaged the business and characters of the law abiding saloon keepers. He desired that the Mayor force all the "last chance" saloons to take out city license or so prosecute them as to close them up. Mr. Schlem mer stated that the 8aloon Keepers
Union desired the Mayor to enforce the laws rigidly—the Sunday closing law and all.
Mayor Bandel responded that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to put an end to all illegal sales and doings in the business. He stated that lie would at once look into the operations of outskirt saloons and would spare no pains to bring them to time. He would also be delighted to enforce the closing laws in the city and was glad to receive endorsement and cooperation of the class of saloon keepers in the
the better work of reform.
From pres nt prospects it really appears that Crawfordsville will* soon be noted as the most moral town in the West.
An Enthusiastic Meeting at Ladoga. Notwithstanding the short notice given of the meeting, Ladoga's now opera house was filled October 4 with an nudionce composed of the intelligence and refinement of Ladoga and vicinity to hear Hon. John B. Cockrum discuss the questions of the hour, from a Republican standpoint. Mr. Cockrum touched on all the vital questions of the present campaign, knocking the stufiing out of rag baby bug-a-boos as set up by Mr. Brookshira in his speech or the night before in the same room, and holding his audience Bpell bound for over one hour and a half. Mr. Cockrum is an eloquent speaker, an easy talker and it
WBB demonstrated that night that along with Mr. Brookshire he was "one of the few public speakers whom the ladies could listen to without fear of insult," as a large number of the fair sex were present and were interested auditors throughout. Many of them met Mr Cockrum after adjournment of the meeting and thanked him for his excellent addresB. Among the auditois were a number of Democratic citizens and they were greatly interested in all that was said, paying the speaker the compliment of saying his speech was as fair as they ever listened to and that he spoke the truth.
A GLORIOUS TURN OUT.
Mr,
Fairbanks' Speech a Magnificent Effort and Well Received. Tuesday niglit the Morton club rooma were crowded long before the hour of tho speaking had arrived and the first shouting enthusiasm of the campaign waB manifested. FA'erybody was in excellent spirits and after the call to order thorn wore 31»mon initiated, three of whom had heretofore been Democrats. It was a glorious meeting and when the Viand arrived thero was a grand rush made to get in line. The McKinley club of Wabash College, 200 strong, headed by the drum corps foil in just behind the Morton club and altogether about o()0 men were in the procession which escorted Mr. Fairbanks to Music
Hall. Tho clubs wore heartily cheered during tho march around the square and a scene of unwonted enthusiasm everywhere displayed. Tho hall WBB quickly filled and the appearance of chairman Williams and Mr. Fairbanks was loudly applauded. The gleo club rendered an excellent selection which brought down the house and when quiet had been restored Mr. Fairbanks was introduced by Mr. Williams.
After paying a splondid tribute to the Morton Club and ho Wabash College Club for tho zeal and earnestness which characterized the present occasion Mr. Fairbanks opened his speech on State issues. Ho showed from the the records of history that the Democratic party, was a debt making party and tho Republican party a debt paying party.' In 18(50 when tho Democratic party went out of power they loft a debt of $10,000,000. This debt tho Republican party assumed and besides tho extraordinary expenses incurod by tho war they reduced the debt, until 1872 when tho Democracy again came into power down to .S'Vlon.ilUfi. The Democracy then resumed tho roins of government and the debt began again to increase and continued to increase until now it is S8,8!30,()lf). He then touched upon the tax law and road from tho Democratic State plat orm in which the assertion is made that all tho increase in taxation comes from corporations. This he •showed is not true. Tho farm and lot owners bear the heaviest share of tho burden. The increaso upon lands, lot and improvements amounts to $24(5,14(5,933, while the increase in personal property is $56,913,858, making a total increase of over $303,000,000. The corporations all combined were only $9(5,005,214. He thus effectually disposed of the claim of the Democracy that the corporations bear all the bur dens of the increase of taxation. HE then compared the cost of running our State Asylums with that of Ohio's, showing that the patients in Ohio cost $150 per capita while in Indiana they cost $227 per capita. The gerrymander received a castigation at his hands in which it was shown that Indiana had the most unjust nnd unfair appointments of any State in the Union. From State issues he passed to National affairs and Bhowed the advantage of a
National currency over a State currency, and compared the days of wild cat money with the prepent system, and appealed to the people if they were in favor of a return of the former days as the Democracy had declared in "thoir National platform. On tho tariff question he confined himself to a discussion of plate glass and tin plate. He read an extraot from Gov. Hondrick's message to the Legislature in 1885 in which ho tnade a strong plea for the plate glass industry. In compliance with the Governor's suggestions the Democratic Legislature passed a joint rnsolution instructing the Senators and requesting the Representatives to vote for an increase in the tariff on plate glass. ThiB action was taken upon the request of Washington DePauw who showed to the satisfaction of the Governor nnd the Legislature that in his efforts to establish tho industry in this State he hnd been losing money at the rate of $300,000 a year. Then plate glass was selling at $2.50 a square foot, with no money for the Americam manufacturer, while now plate glass is selling with an increased tariff at 75 cents por square foot and with a fair profit for tho manufacturer. He closed with a reference to the sple ndid statesmanship which brought about our reciprocity treaties and appealed to the people to stand by the Republican parly and to its grand work.
