More Gravel Road.
A mile and a half of gravel road has just been completed between Shafer's gate and Shannondale which is of inestimable value to the people for miles around it, as it makes a short cut where before was a several mile drive. The beauty about it is that it was built very cheaply. All the farmers in that section subscribed money, teams and labor so that it was built without levying a cent of taxes.

A Grand Banquet.
The Catholic young ladies of the city met last evening at the hall of the Knights of St. John for the purpose of perfecting I arrangements for a giyind banquet and ^ception to the visiting lvnights on OE ber 16, the da^, on which the commander. of this city is to be installed. Greai ^thusiasm was displayed at the mee ng and the young ladies manifested an executive ability and zeal which guarantees that this entertainment will be crowned with the most gratifying success. There will be 500 uniformed men in line that day and for the entertainment of the guests and the banquet Mayor Bandel has extended the use of the Morton hall. Dinner and supper will be served them by the young ladies and the hall is now being decorated in elegant style for that occasion. The visiting Knights may rest assured that they will be entertained in a royal manner. Crawfordsville's reputation for hospitality has never suffered by comparison and when in the keeping of the young ladies of the Catholic church it is more than safe.

BRILLIANT WEDDING.
The wedding of George McCabe and Miss Emma Watkins went off on Sept. 29 in a blaze of glory equal to that of a celebration of Foarth of July at Frankfort. To be sure there was some little uneasiness along about sundown when George went out on the street unattended. The bride and her mother feared greatly that he had eloped in that $15 suit which they had purchased for the occasion, but George's honor was equal to his appetite for the wedding feast and the two combined brought him around promptly. There was some delay occasioned by the failure of Esquire Cumberland to arrive promptly. The stairs were steep and as Mr. Cumberland is very portly he was nearly dead when ho reached the top and had to be fanned vigorously before he was in a condition for business and the gallant office in which he was to officiate. There was also a hitch in the wedding procession for Mr. Bill Henderson, the well known, loved and accomplished prize fighter, who was to stand up with the bride's sister backed clear out at the last moment and consequently attendants had to be dispensed with. The bride and groom entered alone to music on the French harp by Mr. Henderson, who compromited by acting as musician. The grooiu Was tastefully attired in that §15 suit, with the pants cut high water. He w^re slippers and immaculate white half hose. The bride was a vision of loveliness and red geraniums, wearing as she did an immense bouquet of that favorite flower on her heaving bosom. She wore a very foxy dress with a train and had the train pinned up to keep it out of the dust and to expose about a foot of the embroidered skirt. There were a few hitches in the performance, as for instance when both parties held up their .right hands to take the oath of allegiance, but withal it was a very happy occasion. The guests were certainly a set of blooming jayB. It is a hard thing to say but they were. When Mr. Cumberland called out that congratulations were in order they all walked up and shook hands with George but left the bride, as Mr. Henderson aptly expressed it, "in the soup." Mr. Henderson was the only one who had style enough to press her lily hand in congratulation. It may have been, of course, that he was the only one who thought that she had congratulations due her, but then, you know, common politeness often obliges us to say what we really don't mean.
Mr. Bill Henderson is a society gull and he knew this and was consequently commended by Mr. Cumberland as the only one present who had any style about him. The ceremony over the bride's mother presented the groom with a handsome $G watch with a foot of chain for every dollar invested. It did Mr. McCabe proud and he presided at the wedding feast which followed with the dignity of a Coal Creek'Squire in a chicken staling case. The spread was lovely but the cake was dry and Mr. Cumberland remarked that if he ate any more of it he would die of the cholera. This scared the guests and the happy young couple will have most of that feast to begin housekeeping on.
George McCabe, Sr., of Tippecanoe cjurty, was in the city next day howling with rage because his son had married Miss Emma Watkins. The old man said some mighty uncomplimentary things about his coy daughter-in-law and when the newly married couple began to spoon in his presence and old Mrs. Watkins to smoke her pipe he was fairly wild. He raged, swore and stormed about Union block and finally we.at down on the street and opened up his heart to all who would listen. He swore he would prosecute Mr. Bill Henderson, who, under the alias of Deete, swore that George was over 21.

THE EDWARDS ESTATE.
It is Alleged that Col. Ingersoll has Offered the Heirs $250,000,000. The Edwards heirs, many of whom live in this county, among them Curtis Edwards, of Mace, are now in a fair way to become the possessors of the large fortune which they have been expecting for years. The Btory of the wealth in store for the heirs has often been told in THE JOURNAL. Wm. Edwards, of Greensburg, S. C., was at Dayton, O., the other day and stated that he has in his possession a certified copy ot the record of the original lease, signed by Queen Victoria herself, which he had gone to England to procure this summer. For the copy of the record Mr. Edwards was compelled to pay $150, as the laws of England make this source of revenue to the Crown very exorbitant, Mr. Edwards says that the way in which he discovered that he is one of the heirs is very peculiar. While looking over an old family Bible he found the original leaee. Mr. Edwards says that Colonel Ingersoll has offered to pay the 6um of §250,000,000 to the various heirs in the United States for a settlement in full of all claims. This will add about a million dollars to the wealth of Montgomery county. Ex-senator Ingalls and Col. H. Clay King are associated in representing the heirs.
A Crawfordsville Sport's Career. Sunday of last week Eddie Talbert came up from Crawfordsville, ostemsibly for the purpose of visiting relatives and friends in this vicinity, so on his arrival here he made his way to the country home of Ji-ffrey Horner, some two miles south-east of here. Here he WBB received with open arms for he had not been to see them for some time, and he was given a great many liberties—more in fact than he will again be given. H6 stayed around all day the following Monday, uoing nothing, however, that would create the impression that he would steal. But, it seems, that on Tuesday morning he put in execution the scheme he had probably been labor ing for many days previous to his coming and while the family were temporarily absent from the household, doing the usual morning chores, Eddie donned Truman's best suit of clothes, put couple of gold watches in his pockets for good measure and skipped out across the country to hiB uncle's, a man named Baswell, residing about midway between this c'ty and Frankfort. Here he struck it richer than ever. The family being gone from home, he gained access to the house in some manner and ransact ing things generally run across $200 in clean c»sh, secreted somewhere in a bed. Thin he also devoted to himself, going from there to Colfax, where he hired a riy and was driven to ClarkB Hill.
Here ho entered a saloon, set up the drinks to the house, making a flash of what he had and stating that he had plenty of money. He also telegraphed ahead to Frankfort for the ticket agent there to have him a ticket written out direct to Washington, but it seems that after he got to Frankfort he changed his mind, and instead went to Pittsburg, Pa. No trace uould be found of him until late Wednesday following, when it was learned that he was on his way to Pittsburg, and the authorities telegraphed ahead to the police in that city and he was accordingly nabbed on his arrival there. Marshal Bird, of Frankfort, went there and returned with him, and upon his person was found $102.55 of the stolen money, both the watches and he was still wearing Truman's clothes. He was arraigned in the
Clinton circuit court Saturday and was sentenced to the State's prison north for two years.—Thorntoicn Argus.
A Neat Volume.
THE JOURNAL is in receipt of the brief of the attorneys for the defendant in the Pettit case. The document is a highly interesting one and well worthy of a place in the library of any attorney. The LaFayette Journal, the "publishing houBe, is selling the briefs prepaid for a dollar each.

Some of the Meet
Seventy-Seoond Boys
and Renew Old Comradeship. Tom Shepherd acted as host on Oct. 1 to Company E, Seventy-second Indiana regiment of volunteers. His residence on west Main street was appropriately decorated with flags and a passerby would easily guess that it was a reunion of old soldiers. There were seventeen of the company present as follows: Major Lawson S. Kilburn, Simpson Montgomery, James Harris, Ambrose Remley, James Ross, A. D. Lofland, F. M. Mason, W. W. Tiffany, Stebben Quick, Madison Barton, John C. Bible, Ransom II. Bell, Nathaniel Hamilton, Abner Newkirk, Harry Doyle, L. B. McClamrock, Thos. Shepherd*. Besides there were the wives, children, sons-in-law and grand-children of the company. The morning was spent in talking over the old times and in listening to muoic by the young ladies present. When the dinner hour approached Mrs. Tom Shepherd set up a dinner bountiful and good such as is known in common parlance as "the fat of the land." Of course all couldn't eat at once so they took turns and by the time dinner was over it was time for the exercises to begin. Major Kilburn then in behalf of the company and with a happy speech presented a handsome gold headed cane to Mr. Shepherd. It was a complete surprise to that gentleman who recovered himself sufficiently, however, to respond with thanks. There was also the roll call of the company which numbered a total of over 101 men, and the election of officers. The present officers of the association are: Tom Shepherd,
President, and L. B. McClamrock, secretary and treasurer. This is their third annual reunion.
COMPLETED.
General Lew Wallace finishes His Long Awaited Novel. Gen. Wallace is feeling exceedingly pleased over the fact that he had written the last word in his now novel, for the appearance of which the public is so impatiently waiting. For the past few months General Wallace has been exceedingly busy on his work and its completion is to him attended by a feeling of relief as well as of pleasure. He will now hastily review it, as he has not seen some of the manuscript for about four yaars, and will then turn it over to the publisher who ib yet to be selected. The work has been named but the name will not be made public until the publisher's announcement is made. General Wallace has nothing to say in regard to the story except that the scene of action is Constantinople during the seige of that famous city by the Moslem power. The book will bo considerably larger than "Ben Hur." There will bo 7-1-1 octavo pages in the new work, while "Bon Hur" contains but 500. Gen. Wallace himself is not able to state just when the work will be ready for the public.
Suit to Set Aside the Gerrymander. Crane A: Anderson have filed in circuit court a complaint for injunction and mandamus forbidding the clerk, sheriff and auditor from proceeding under the apportionment act of of 1891 or that of 1885 on the ground that both of such acts are unconstitutional, and directing the clerk to issue his certificate, the sheriff to publish notices and the auditor to furnish blanks, poll books, etc., under and pursuant to the apportionment act of 187!). Under the act of 1879 this county has one senator and one representative. The suit is brou /Jit in the name of the State of Indiana on the relation of of John S. Brown, and the complaint is exactly similar to the one recently filed in the circuit court at
Newcastle. In this suit Judge Bundy held the acts of 1891 and 1885 unconstitutional, and directed the officers there to proceed tinder the act of 1879. The suit here i8 one of about forty to be brought in Beveral senatorial and representative districts in the State.

A FAILURE.
The Great Democratic Rally Proves to a Complete fizzle. If it hadn't been for a couple of hundred roustabouts from Balhinch and Bristle Ridge no one could have told that, there was a great Democratic rally going on in the city Sept. 30 with the most prominent and influential Democrat in the State as orator. Jim Stark's urchanshammered their drums in a melodramatic and weird sort of a way this morning and when Music Hall was opened not a hundred people entered until after the orator came. Then the lower floor was filled and a pretty fair sprinkling in the gallery. There were not 600 present at any time, however, and fully one-half of these were women and children. The attempt to get up a procession and enthusiasm on the streets failed signally and Mr. Gray rode to
Music Hall attended only bj two bands and Jim Stark's outfit of eight persons. It was simply a huge joke and when Mr. Gray came out of the liobbins HOUBO and saw the carriage standing there with no one in sight except Billy Johnston, Maurice Thompson and Dan SimniB he looked tolerably tired. He scratched
hiB
head
reflectively for a minute and then remarked "Oh Pshaw! Let's walk."
The occupants of the carriage would not hear to this, however, and Mr. Gray finally scrambled in over the legs of Dan Simms, who was BO awe struck that he forgot to move. Just before the carriage started a man hurried to the front and presented each of the quartette with a handsome fan on which was inscribed in huge black letters "Drink at the Clipper!" There was absolutely no stir on the Btreets as the "procession" moved about the court house and wound up in front of Music Hall. Mr. Gray's speech was the same old thread-bare, beggarly and senile howl against the tariff. It caused no comment or thought—it elicited no applause except from the bosseB on the stage who once in a while slapped their hands together in a spasmodic, disheartened sort of a way. Before Mr. Gray closed his audience had thinned out woefully and the party workers and a few old sleepy heads, who liked the seats were all that remained. The rally was a complete failure and even the Democrats cannot deny it.
V:
Ho has Forgiven the Flag. Jim Starke has forgiven the American flag all the harm it ever did him and even the conspicuous part it played in "the late unpleasantness." Mr. Starke was very zealous about tearing down tho flag over the Bchool house thiB time last year but now he wished to prove that he bore it no enmity Bnd came to town in company with Jim Thompson, also of Clark township. They had united their children and formed a drum corps, each urchin being attired in a uniform made of American flags. We were unable to learn whether Starke's children wore the flags he tore down from over Emma
Conner's school but anyhow the aggregation created a sensation. Scores of school children thronged after the favored drum corps cf Clark and vied with each other in pinching and pushing them. Bob Galloway, of Walnut, paBBed the hat whenever the aggregation stopped and collected quite a pile of small change from thoBe who wanted it to move on. The proceeds might appropriately be used in paying the judgment that Miss Conner will get against Starke in the slander case.

Scrofula is more especially than any othc a hereditary disease, and for this simyle reason: Arising impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of while tissues there is a period 1 of foetal life when tho whole body consists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect on the blood, expels all traco o? the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color of health. If you decide to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute.
