Miss Manola'6 artistic work when with Col. McCaull placed her in the front rank of comediennes.

Deviltry at Kirkpatrick.

Last Saturday night, the 19th, the Democrats met at the town of Kirkpatrick to joliify. They had just started their hickory bark fires and begun to paint the town when someone of their number, not satisfied with (iros in the street, set iiro to Wesley Kirkpatrick's straw rick, containing the straw from 200 acres of wheat he had stacked neatly near the town for his cattle to feed on during the winter. The straw fire knocked the jollification into one of Cleveland's desuetudes, and came nearly burning up the town. The cowardly part of the affair was enacted when they went to the sleeping apartments of Billy Boots, an honest, upright young Republican, and took him from his bed and tried to make him acknowledge that he had fired the straw rick. Boots has placed the matter before the Montgomery grand jury and some one will get just what he needs.—Lafayette Courier.

Uuivorsity Extension.

A pamphlet giving the university extension courses of Wabash College, with the subject of each lecture, has been prepared by the faculty, but has not ve"been printed. There are now six professors having course'. The fo.lowing, clipped from the University Extension Magazine of the Northwest, shows the connection of Wabash with the Chicago Society: "The organization of the Chicago Society for University Extension has been effected by the co operation of the Indiana State, Illinois Stato, Wisconsin State, Chicago, Northwestern, Luke Forest and DePauw Universities, and Beloit and Wabash Colleges, with the citizens of Chicago and vicinity. "Oak Park was the first center organized under the auspices of the Chicago Society for University Extension, and has always been one of the most successful. Last February and March,

Prof. Nathaniel Butler, of the University of Illinois, gave a course of six lectures on English Literature to an average audience of 100, and was followed during March, April and May by Prof. Alex. Smith, of Wabash College, who gave a course of six lectures on 'Air and Water and Their delation to Health,' to an average audience of 250."

The School Book Law.

Notwithstanding the action of the school superintendents of the State in declaring that the school book law ought to be repealed, Suporintendent-of-Public Instruction Vories thinks it, a good one. In conversation upon the subject he said: "The action of the superintendents was unwise and unwarranted. If they thought the law was a bad one the way for them to have done would have been to go ahead and carry it out, and then the p- ople would have seen the errors in it, which the superintendents claim exist. Jat instead of that several of them said in speeches that they had violated the law. It is hard to understand from their resolutions just what they do want. First,, they declare their allegiance to vhe school book law second, they say the law ought to be amended, and third, they declare in favor of free books. I consider their action wholly uncalled for, but it will have no effect upon the law, as it is a good one and meets with favor."

The Oantei bury Olub.

The Canterbury Ciub is a literary and secret society recently organized among the young ladies of Crawfordsville They are now reading Les Miserables and at tho fortnightly meetings papers are read and discussed on topics immediately bearing upon this book.

President Miss Bessie Wood, Secretary Miss Mayme Wise, Treasurer. The othtr members are Misses Ota Nicholson, Mary Goltra, Daisy Darter, Ora Moffett, Fannie Binford, Jessie Thompson, Helen Watson, Manette Wolfe, Kittie Campbell, Grace Davidson, Lela Baird, Florence Durham and Maude McMechan.

A Montgomery County Boy in Kansas. C. J. Evans, who was a law Btudent under P. S. Kennedy in 1878, located in Ellsworth, Kansas, afterward and established a lucrative law practice. He is a brother-in-law of Capt. H. H. Talbot and since the election has written about matter and things political in that State. Two years ago he was candidate on the Republican ticket for County Attorney and was defeated by the Farmers' Alliance candidate. This year he was the nominee again and was elected by 1!5 majority. He writes that Kansas has played havoc in electing W. A. Harris, an ex-Confederate Colonel, over George T. Anthony, a Union Colonel, as Congressman at Large. He, however, is not discouraged, as he says two years from now Kansas will again be in line with 80,000 majority for the Republican ticket. The leaven is working.

Sarah Wins.

The following from the Indianapolis Sun will be of interest to the colored residents of Crawfordsville to whom the Watsons are well known having visited here frequently:

Monday morning Judge Brown decided the Watson case. Mary Watson, a colored woman, claiming that she was the legal wife of Dr. Watson, deceased, whom, she said, she had married' in Jeffersonville, but when they came to Indianapolis Watson deserted her and began living with Sarah Anderson, a white woman, whom he married. After Watson's death Mary brought suit against Sarah for the dead doctor's pension of $12 per month, and a library valued at $200. Mary claimed that her first husband, John Lewis, had been drowned before ehe married Watson, but the defense proved that at the time of her second marriage Lewis was in prison, but had been drowned after being released. Sarah is a white woman and was born in Liverpool, England, of a Scotch father and an Irish mother, yet she claims to have colored blood in her veins. In making his decision Judge

Brown did not mention the woman's color but decided in her favor on the ground that Marv Watson's first husband, John Lewis, was living and undivorced from her when she married Watson.

Charles Darwin,

President- John M. Coulter of the State University delivered his famous lecture on "Charles Darwin" before the Natural History Society of Wabash College at the chapel Tuesday. Besides the members of the society there were many guests present. Dr. Coulter's lecture was highly entertaining and was fully appreciated by his hearers. His defense of the great evolutionist is at once convincing and interesting and does away with some erroneous opinions which generally obtain credence.

A Correction.

A correction needs to be made in regard to tho Booher divorce case. The case was not dismissed Monday as reported nor was it ever filed again after its dismissal last August. My some oversight the dismissal was not noted on the docket until last Monday and this gave the impression that the case dismissed last August had been refiled only to be again dismissed.

Never to our knowledge has the old adage of a silver lining to every cloud been so wonderfully exemplified as in tho home of Mr. James Meehan and his excellent wife Mary.

The facts in tho case are so remarkable that we shall give tho whole matter in the exact words of the person interested. It Beems that Mr. Meehan, who resides at 57 Granite St., Quincv, Muas., was the first to be taken suddenly sick. "I was taken sick with liver disease and ulceration ef tho bowels," he says.

My heart was also affected. 1 was confined t'o my bed threo months. "A consultation of physicians was held and I was pronounced incurable.

'After that 1 Btopped taking began

their

of Dr..

remedies and began the Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. "Previous to this I ceuld not sleep, my nerves were excitable and spasmodic and my stomach would not bear food,.... vomiting almost constantly. Yery soon after beginning this remedy I slopt better and my stomach would bear light food. "I continued to gain until 1 could get out. I now work all the time, and feel that Dr. Greene's Nervura remedy saved my life."

It is needless to sny that his faithful wife, Mary Meehan, was profoundly happy for the unexpected recovery of her husband t.o health and strength through the wonderful curative virtues of this great medicine, but even in the midBt of her great joy, she herself was prostrated by an alarming attack of rheumatism. "It is only just and may bo of great servico to the afflicted," she sayB, "that I nhould Btate publicity my serious trouble and how I was cured.

Mllt MVHY MHEIIAN.

"f was soroly afflicted with rheumatism for six months, and it seemed to affect my whole system, pains, and stiffness of nniBcles and joints to which was added the more acute pains of sciatica. "It was with the greatest difficulty I could keep about my house. I tried many remedies without relief. Having in mind the great benefit my husband received from the use of I)r Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, 1 concluded to resort to it. To my great joy it was completely successful and by the use of only tiiree bottles I was ^ntirelv (Mired, and my health has been perfect since."

There is no mistake about it, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is a remarkable medicine and effects some wonderful and surprising cures. Every sufferer from disease should try it, for the chances are that it will just hit the trouble and restore the long sought health. All druggists keep it for SI and it is purely vegetable) and harmless to use. ft is the prescription and discovery of the great specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14tli. Street, New York, who can in all cases be consulted free, either if vou call or write him a description of your disease.
