The Cause of Rheumatism ™An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes agonizing puns. What is needed is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. Hood's Sarsaparilla is heartily recommended bv many whom it has cured of rheumatism. It possesses just the desired qualifies, and so thoroughly purifies the blood as to prevent occurence of rheumatic attacks. We suggest a trial of Hood's Sarsaparilla bjr all who suffer from rheumatism.

KKUITINU TilM WILL.

DAVID B. FAYERtyBATHER'S MILLI0HS IN (JOURT.

Over an Hundred Beneficiaries Summoned as Defendants. Among Them Wabash College.

The second war over the distribution of the millions left by David B. Fayerwea'her is on. In the Supreme Court of New York on Saturday Judge lngraliani granted an order to servo by publication a notice of the suit upon the colleges and institutions which are beneficiaries under the will. A6 Wabash College is one of the numerous beneficiaries it is therefore made a defendant in the suit.

Mr. Fayerweather died, it will be remembored, in November. 1K91, leaving §5,500,000. By his will his widow. Lucy l'^ayerweather, was given an annuity of §15,000 a year. Small bequests were made to relatives. The bulk of his property was given to his executors, Thomas G. Ritch, Henry B. Vaughan and Justice L. Buckley, under a private understanding that it was to be dist.ributep among charitable and educational institutions, which included, Yale, Harvord, Columbia, Princeton and Wabash, becides the smaller colleges and a number of city hospitals and homes. Mrs. Fayerweather contested the probate of the will, but she dropped proceedings under an agreement by which the executors increased her annuity and the other legacies. The complaint filed Saturday sots up some startling allegations, Charges of conspiracy and fraud are made against the executors of Mr. Fayerweather's will. Executor Vaughan, it is alleged, owed tho estate §500,000 at he time of Mr. Fayerweather's death, of which $100,000 is still owing. The charges in the oomplainst are substantially ac follows:

It is said that the will was executed October f5, 1884, while Mr. Fayerweather was unconsciously under the alleged corrupt influence of Executor Ritch. December 13, 188-1, the codicil to the will was signed, making Executors Ritch and Buckley residuary legatees. On the day that the will whs executed Ritch prepared a statement, in which Fayerweather, who signed it, said he hoped his heirs would not contest his will, and that he had beeu informed by his counsel of the law of the Stute relating to benevolent co-porations. At the time tho codicil was signed Fayerweather also signed a paper in which he said he had made tho executors residuary legatees in the "confidence than thereby my inten'ions as expressed in my will shall be carried into effect." Ritch influenced Fayerweather to make the will and sign these papers, the testator not thinking '•that Ritch corruptly intended to mislead or deceive him." Lawyer Ritch was Fayerweather's counsel in drawing up the will. It is charged that Ritch was aware when he drew up the will that the trust for the benefit of the hospitals and colleges was not legal, as "equity will not fasten a trust growing out of wrong upon the fraudulent residuary legatee." In order to obtain as much as possible of the estate for himself, Ritch, it is said, prepared the second codicil to the will si that Henry B. Vaughan was loft out of the gifts'and made only executor and trustee. It was so worded to make the testator believe Vaughan was a residuary legatee. It has hitherto been concealed by Ritch that he drew up the wills and codicils. It is also said that before drawing up the second codicil, November 11, 1890, which was unknown to Ritch, Mr. Fayerweather denounced Ritch to Vaughan as a scoundrel. Ritch had no intention, runs tho complaint, of carrying out the trust. His associate, Buckley, however, did. Ritch desired to pocket as much as possible of the §3,000,000 left in trust. Vaughan has, it is said, the missing codicil. Ritch is charged with fraud and with not informing M'-s. Fayerweather of her rights when she. after the will was probated, signed the paper agreeing to a settlement. She was in delicate health at the time, and Vaughan threatened to keep the case in court for years unless she consented.

The court is asked to set aside the

agreement,

to declare the bequests to

colleges and charitable institutions void, and Judge Ingraham is requested to appoint a receiver. The two nieces in behalf of whom the executors of Mrs. Fayerweather bring the action are Mnry W. Achter and Emma S. Fayerweather. Their counsel are ex-Senator George F. Edmunds and William F. Blakie. The defendants number one hundred.

Apart has already been distributed among the various colleges and hospitals. Wabash has received about $25,000 of the §50,000 originally devised. Even should the heirs succeed in setting the will aside it is to be hoped that the provision for bequeathing the first, $2,000,000 will be carried into effect by them. This would still leave them $4,000,000 for pin money.

THE MORTGAGE RELEASED,

It Was Made in 1833 and Released Last Wetk. The other day J. B. Dooley of this township purchased 40 acres of land from Eli Armentrout, south of the city. Mr. Dooley was in the city last week to get a deed to tho land and was great,lv surprised to find in tho recorder's office that a mortgage was on the land, which Mr. Armentrout had assured him was unincumbered. Investigation disclosed a rather peculiar state of affairs. The records showed that in 1833 Frederick Armantrout had obtained from Commissioner McConnell §50 of school money and to secure it had given a mortgage on 40 acres of land. There was no record of the transaction in the Auditor's oflice, of course, the Auditor's oilice being created by the new consitution which went into effect years afterward. Consequently the case passed on unnoticed by the board for all these years and as the land changed hands only by being transmitted from father to son, the fact that a mortgage was on it was never discovered. It probably never would have been discovered had not the land been sold necessitating the making of a deed. Mr. Dooley at once went before the board of commissioners with the case and asked that the mortgngo be released. It is likely that Frederick Armentrout paid the mortgage off years ago and that, no record was made of it but even if he did not the oblig.it,ion was on the board to make the release as the mortgage was outlawed long ago. The board accordingly ordered Auditor Goben to release the land and Mr. Dooley was given a clear title.

AGAIN TIElftJP.

The Dear Old Midland Railroad Again in the Tureen. The famous old Midland is in the souj) again and a jolly war is on which promises to equal that of 6ome months ago. On Dec. :), at Waveland, Marshal Moore tied up a passenger train for a board bill amounting to §70.73, which the road owed F. C. Eccles for boarding work hands. The road had confessed judgment but had refused to pay. At last, advievn the road was still tied up. Waveland is not the only point along the line where trouble

"brewing. A.

special from Anderson says: Business is at a standstill to-day in the yards of the Midland Railway Company in this city. Madison county's treasurer. Page, has been after the road with a sharp

Btick

for delinquent taxes.

Several locomotives have been attached and the company, becoming alarmed, has stopped all trains at, Noblesville. Not a train has entered or left Anderson since jestorday forenoon. All of the company's engines have been sent out of the county. Mail matter is neither coming in or going out. The out-bound stuff lies piled up in the depot. Tho payment of its taxes is not the only obligation the company has to meet. This morning its section employes refused to ,go to work until they received all the "back pay due their.. There is no indication of a cessation of hostilities.

Preparing for the Encampment. 2 Tho citizens of Indianapolis have begun in earnest to make preparations for the coming G. A. R. National Encampment,. A public meeting was held last night at which Col. Eli Lilly, Chairman of the Executive Board, which had been previously appointed, outlined tho plan of organization and announced the list of committees. The different committees together with the names of tho members occupy about five columns of the Indianapolis Journal. Some of these committees are largely made up of out of town citizens. Among these Crawfordsviile is represented on the Committed on Legislation by John L. Goben and M. D. Manson, the Committee on Reception by C. M. Travis and L. A. Foote, the Committee on State Military Organizations by G. W. Lamb, the Committee on Reunions by I. C. Elston, the Committee on Camp Fires by Henry Campbell and the Committee on Woman's Relief Corps by Mrs. Mary D. Travis. The scheme as outlined is comprehensive and systematic and bears evidence of the trained ability of Col. Lilly, the head of the management.

Tried to Work the Olerk.

The Lebanon Pioneer, commenting on the work of Ed Keen, the examination question peddler, says:

Keen and his wife made ther headquarters in Lebanon during the summer, boarding first at the Perkins house and afterwards at the Rose house, leaving an unpaid board bill of about §35 at the latter place, which his brother, W. R. Keen, who is teaching in Harrison township, has assumed. Mrs. Keen is a handsome woman and made many friends while here. Keen, during his stay at the Perkins houee, unfolded his plan to Charley Stephenson, the clerk, and invited him to take a hand in the scheme, assuring him that there was great money in it. Ho told Stephenson that he had arrangements to get the questions at Indianapolis, and that there was not tho lsast danger in working it.

Failure at New Market.

John W. Williams, the well known dealer in general merchandise at New Market, has made an assignment and W. T. Whittington is tho assignee. Mr. Williams' liabilities are upwards of §2,000 and his assets were not so much. There area number of preferred claims.

HIS NAME IS" DENNIS.

A Brutal Uncle Exercises the Pretty Privilege ot Kinship to liiu Ssrrow. Some three weeks ai»o Lizzie Kilov, the well known dining room girl, returned from Ijogansport. where she had been employed, quite sick, and a case of typhoid fever soon set, in. She was well enough last Saturday, however, to sit up and determined to go down town. Accordingly a cab was ordered and in the alternoon Muck Price drove up just as a hard looking old customer tied his team to the fence and waded in the house, just oast of the Yandalia station on Main street,, without parley or even ceremony. This gentleman wiir Mr. Dennis O'Connor, of Lebanon, in the State of Boone, an uncle of Miss Riley, and a mighty man of valor. Mr. O'Conner since tho death of tho mother of the Riley girls about two weeks ago, has exercised a fatherly interest, in their welfare and kindly condescends whenever in this city to minister to their physical wants by kicking them or knocking them in tiiehead. Mr. O'Conner does this of course in order to keep the young ladies in the straight, and narrow path. He rightly holds that Bince the poor creatures have no parents to perform such loving offices that it is incumbent upon liiin to assume the parental prerogative as far as in him lies. Accordingly as soon as lie entered the Riley residenco Saturday afternoon he gave Miss Lizzie a loving caress with his boot and followed it up with several hearty love p.its on her head with h's clenched fist. He was kicking and beating her shamefully when Buck Price startled by her agonized cries burst into tho door. O'Conner who was frothiug with rage and who more resembled a wild beast than a man drew huge revolver and continued his chastisement of the helplers girl. The police were telephoned for from the station and quickly arrived. O'Conner was jerked into a cab and hauled down town where the Mayor fined him for carrying concealed weapons and cast him'into jail. As soon as he is released there will be another case against him for assault, and battery.

Those Loveiy Hey Rubes.

Some da\s since

Tiik .1oi kn-,u,

had

occasion t.o remark in a Home.what, cutting manner upon the ancient and honorable "Hey Rube Gang" of Wiiyuetown. Very naturally the members rosonted this and Saturday's issue of the Despatch published the* rules governing this organization. The rules were preluded by a statement that the gang was prepared to swipe Perry Martin, tho school master, or any one else interfering with them. A calm perusal of the following rules cannot but impress tho casual reader with a sense of the lofty ideas and patriotic principles governing the "Hey Rube Gang" of Waynetown:

Rui.k 1.—That each person that joins t,lie gang must first take an oath to stand by his pard in trouble of any kind.

Bulk 2. —That he shall keep all the working of the gang a secret. Rule 3.—That said gang shall have a grip, password, and "war cry."

RuijK 4.—That gang shall have one Captain and several under him. Rut,k 5.—That said gang shall have a Secret Service composed of two or more to find out when danger threatens, and to be known to no one but the Captain.

RuijK 5.—That

any member of gang

violating rules shall be thrown out of said gang, and shall be compelled to keep the working of the gang a secret,.

Poor Will Harness. iS

Will Harness, the greatest ball pitcher Wabash College over had, iB dead. The details of his sad accident last spring are familiar to oil. The following is from the Logansport Journal-.

Will J. Harnes, a well known Cass county school teacher, formerly of Galvestion, died at Kokomo Monday evening, aged 29 years. This is a sad death Mr. Harness had a promising future be fore him. He was finishing his education at Ann Arbor and intended devoting his life to teaching. While at college he was a great favorite and leader in athletic sports and a valuable member of the ball team. While playing the Philadelphia team at Philadelphia he was accidentally struck on the head with a batted ball. The injury was a painful one but was not at first considered serious. Later, however, his mind became deranged from the effects of the blow and he was compelled to give up his studies. For a time he was confined to a private sanitarium at Indianapolis, but his condition was considered and pronounced incurable and the past ver- he hud spent with a relative at Kokomo. He gradually declined physically as he had mentally, and death came Monday.

It Beats Our Microbes.

When the big tank at the water works was drained last week for the purpose of cleaning it out, the bottom of the tank was covered with fish to a depth of throe feet. As this tank is thirty feet in di ameter, one can form some conception of the immense number with which the city's water supply is contaminated Many of these were dead.—Michiimn Cilu Disjatch.

WHAT TIIEY WILL DO WITH US.

Some of the More lmportaut Measuros to1 Oome Before the Next Legislature. One of the old Democratic members of the legislature who is in a position to know gives the following program for the coming session

The road question,

.nu by the

recent congress, will occupy considerable attention. Whether the existing law can be improved without an increase of taxes or whether it can be amended so as to provide for a more judicious expenditure of the money now at command is the conundrum that will puzzle the solons. The money now expended is regarded as sufficient to secure hotter results, but it will have to be handled with better judgment than heretofore. The attitude of the farmer delegates in the congress will make the representsives extremely cautious on this question, for the farmer seems now to be an element in political contests that is the subject of most, distinguished eonsideiaion.

Tho party in the ascendancy is also reparing for a close scrutiny of approriations. For ten yoars there has been steady increase in tho allowances to State benevolent and penal institutions, but it is now asserted that a halt is to bo called, nearly all of the institutions having been provided in previous years ith money for buildings and other improvements. No more will be given bv the coming session for building purposes, There is not likely to be any hange in the methods of management, but should there be it will be looking toward political control.

The tax law is not likely to be materiillv changed. 'I he Democratic members of the goneral assembly contend that that measure, which was so assiduously assailed by their opponents, has received the seal of public approbation and will bo undisturbed.

It rests with the supremo court to determine whether the solons will have to tackle an apportionment act. If the lending question resulVs in the uncoilstitutionality of tho present statute, then the matter will be one for consideration. It is claimed, however, that it will not be difficult to adjust this act in conformity with the court's decision. With the gerrymander wiped out, the control of the legislature, iu closo years, lit least, would depend upon the result in Marion county, the population of which now entitles it to ton members in the two brauches Such a change would cortainly have effect of making a hotbed of politics in that county, and might conduce the necessity of parties furnishing top-notch candidates.

Tho labor element of Indiana will demand an act creating a State board ot arbitration. This will certainly be granted, the only possible hitch boing as to whether enforced arbitration shall be made a feature of the act,.

0FFI0ERS ELECTED.

The Directors of the Fair Association Meet and Ohoosu Officers. The newly elected board of directors of the Montgomery Agricultural Associ-: ation met last Monday in tho smallcourt room and proceeded at once to elect oflicers for tho ensuing year. Tho balloting in some cases was close and exciting and for the chief of fair ground police live ballots were taken before a result was reached. The elections made were as follows:

President.—John I.. I)iivK J-'ii-HL Vice l'rewldenl,—M. it. Wjui^h. hccotid Vice President—J. N. Davidson. Secretary—\V. W. Morgan. Treasurer—

John S. Jirovvu.

(ieneral {Superintendent-.J. J. laslev Cliiei' of Police—David Martin, Pair (wound Coiiimit'eo—.lolm S. IJrowu Isaac Davis, and Asher Wert.

On motion the following gentlemen were elected honorary members of the board: Wm. H. Durham, Elijah Clore, Vint Clark, Jacob l.!arshbarger and Gen. M. D. Manson.

J. J. Insley made a motion that bight ladies be appointed as honorary members of tho board arid the measure passed without a dissenting voice. The,names of the ladies selected will be announced by the President at the next meeting. Tho board adjourned after voting to meet on tho firBt Saturday of each month beginning with February.

Went Up After All.

Theodore Barfelt, tho man who was jailed for public indecency, was ar-' raigned before Judge Langdon this morning on the ehargo of petit larceny for having stolen a dollar from Gus Roller. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. Judge Langdon said he could make it a jail sentence, but as the prisoner had already stolen from one of the prisoners at the jail, he thought it best to

Bend

him to the penitentiary. Sev

eral judgments were entered in* claims. —Lafayette. Courier.

Barfelt is well known here and during the fair was arrested with one of his pals for stealing a revolver. The pal was sent up for a year but Barfelt was excused. When the Crawfordsviile press mildly suggested in its poor weak wav that it wouldn't have been amiss to have sent Theodore up, too, that gentleman became highly incensed and threatened to sue for damages. He can consider the advisability o' such a step during his term.
