A BIG- FAKE.
Tiie Famous Edwards Estate Dwindles vDown to a Mere Phantom. A press dispatch from Richmond, dated Feb. G, says: "A bubble that has been many years in forming burst here to-day. For many years past much has been published in the newspapers about the great Edwards estate, of New York City. Many people have traced their family history aad were confidently expecting an inheritance. The whole thing, however, turns out to be a myth, as Joseph F. Ruwlette to-day received a letter from his attorneys at Washington City, stating that the whole thing is a newspaper fake of gigantic proportions.
Baid Falls.
David Divine fell Thursday a. m. and striking on his head with great force was stunned for quite a while.
Thursday Mrs. Fleming T. Luse started from her home to walk a short distance but slipped and fell heavily to the pavement. Besides bruises she broke her wrist. Dr. Hutchings was called and reduced the fracture.
Judge Thomas started down town Thursday morning and when near Center church sustained a heavy fall. He was assisted to the home of his sister, Mrs. Eseick, near by and Dr. Ristine summoned. The patient was quite sick for some time but at last accounts is better.

J. J. Insley has purchased the 60 foot vacant lot on the corned of Market and Binford streets for $865.
The 30 acre farm east of town and the 85 acre Clark farm, north of Crawfordsville, are still for sale.
Affecting Teachers' Examinations. A bill has passed the State legislature providing that the county superintendent shall hold teachers' examinations only in the months of January, March, April, May, June, August and' September and shall in no case grant a license upon private examination. Ail licenses shall be limited to the conntiy in which they are granted. Examinations may be held at other times only to fill vacancies. Senator Sellar was the only man in the Senate who voted against the bill.
As to Moving School Houses. The legislature has adopted a law providing that no school house can be moved unless a majority of the patrons petition the county- superintendent to have it done. This law will spoil a contemplated move in Franklin township -lso one or two others in the county.

There were 15 children admitted to the Orphans' Home during the year. There are now 16 in the Home, 8 of whom attend school. There has been but little sickness and no deaths during the past year. Though the fire left us in very poor shape, yet, owing to the kindness and genorosity of the people, the Home is in pretty good running order. The children are all well and happy and with myself desire to thank those who so generously contributed to their support.

Different Ways of Advertising. The following will be of interest to those seeking the best methods of advertising. It is from the Indianapolis Journal:
The general Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, desiring to ascertain the value of different metnods of announcing meetings, circulated thousands of little "dogers" and had notices inserted in the papers. The house was packed. During the meeting he asked those who had been led to attend by reading the dodgers to rise, and fifteen was the number. He then asked those to rise who had been influenced to attend by reading the notices in the newspapers, and the audience rose in a body. And what is true of 'dodgers" is, is in a large degree true of posters and pictures and announcements in shop windows. Compared with the newspaper, which is read in the home, tney are comparatively useless as advertising mediums. Mare and more the public, which patronizes lectures, theaters and stores, is coming to the conclusion that anything of merit is worth a newspaper announcement while those which are presented on a cheaper medium are not.
Still, if you insist on having, we will bo pleased to print them for you. Tins JOUHNAL JOB OFFICE is the most complete establishment of its kind in the city.
Eoasting Our Senator.
It. is too bad that the IndianapoliB Sentinel should roast such a good old bourbon Democrat as our own Senator Seller. Read the following from that paper:
Senator Seller has been posing as the champion reformer of the Senate since the organization, and he delivered a long "reform" speech, in which he could not conceal that he "h id it in" for his county newspaper. He did not want the newspapers to instruct the voters that could be done by blackboards in school houses.
A Second Accident.

The other day Nick Talbot, who is visiting his mother, two miles southwest of the city, fell on the ice and fractured the bones of one of his arms. Thursday he fell the second time and fractured the bones of one of his thighs. With him misfortunes do not come singly.

RIVAL SOUP SELLERS.
A Conflict In Dates Leads to An Unhappy Condition of Affairs, John Wells lives out in the Oakland neighborhood, north of Crawfordsville, and in his section Dick Mason is school director, while Frank Elston officiates at the whipping machine with the ur banitv and decorum incident to every well balanced instructor of youth, tt is a custom out there, and a custom more honored in the observance than in the breach, to hold
J. G. Hanna was to have represented the plaintiff but he missed the train and the case was dismissed. Mr. Wells bit large chunks out of the atmosphere in his wild rage but it did no good. The soup sellers' war is a thing of t.he past.
County Fair.
Neil Burgess' company in the "County Fair" will be the attraction at Music Hall one night, Monday, Feb. 13. This phenomenal play after its four years in New York and one in Boston, will be transferred to this cit with all its wealth of beautiful sceneiy and stage equipments, and mechanical effects. The play is not an nmbitious one, it is simple story of New England life, and no attempt has been mado to impart sensationalism to any of the situations, though the interest of the play is well sustained throughout. The abundance of healthy humor which pervades the piece, mokes it all the brighter by contrast with its occasional touches of pathos. The characters nre drawn from living models, with little exaggeration or caricature to distort them. There is nothing more realistic that the living room at the old farm house, or barn with its broad floor littered with un husked corn. The lofty hay-mow, and its stalls tenanted with live horses must be seen to be appreciated. The famous race scene with its wonderfully effective realism of five thoroughbred horses running in full view of the audience, carries with it an intense excitement and thrilling effect. The race is fully three quarters of a mile. The company which appears is mainly the same as when last here, Miss Bates playing the part of Aunt Abby.—Press Notice. ,5,

occasional
oyster suppers at the school house where the youth and beauty of the neighborhood can congregate to eat oysters, exchange sentiments, and plot in a passionate but diplomatic manner anent future connubial bliss. All this of course is eminenntly worthy and proper, and when some days ago when Mr. John Wells declared that he intended to give an oyster supper upon a certain night the young ladies all smiled and put their hair in papers, while the young men whistled softly an old love tune and put lard on th'eir boots. Mr. Wells harnessed up a day or so before the proposed festival and driving to town purchased a quart of oysters (a quart will make a barrel of soup if properly seasoned) and a large flour sack of crackers. He also had some bills struck which announced officially that he would dis pense cream stews and an excellent article of sauer kraut to the elite of Oakland at the unusually low price of 15 cents a head. When Mr. Wells approached the director, however, to ask for the use of the building he was told that Mr. Frank Elston had it already engaged and would dispense hospitality, in the shape of soup, for cash upon the evening for which Mr. Wells had advertised. Mr. Wells protested and shed tears showing how that large quantity of oysters would go to waste on his hands and the crackers gradually grow moldy under the gnawing tooth of time and razure of oblivion. Mr. Mason, however, refused to turn the master out and he reaped the advantage of Mr. Wells' bills. He stood at the door and smilingly shook the hands and pocketed the shekels of the youth that appeared. The soup was not as rich as that Mr. Wells would have made and the supporters of the latter claim it was made from mussels taken from the creek, but this charge is false, as two pint cans labeled "Fresh cove oysters. Brand of 1873," were found behind the school house next morning and the storekeeper is said to be willing to go on the witness stand at any time to vindicate Mr. Elston's character. Mussels indeed! The man who can't distinguish between a boney and cnrtilagenous mussel and a succulent and delicious cove oyster merits death by drowning in boiling mussel soup. But we digress. Mr. Wells was obliged to stand on the outside and hear the merry laughter of the happy guests and the whirring, bubbling sound which they made as they blew on their soup to cool it. He was forced to hear the merry clink of the coin nnd t.he gratulatory chuckle of his rival soup seller as he counted up his guin. The next day he was forced to hear the laughter of his neighbors and the calls of the small boys pertly inquiring if he had any surplus soup. Can you wonder that he sued for damages, both to his purse and his lacerated feelings? Certainly not. You would have done the same. The case came up Tuei day before Squire Jones at Linden nnd F. P. Mount went up to represent the cowering defendants.

GOING ON 0RUT0HES.
Miss Mary fl. Erout Leaves For Honolulu In the Interests of the Inter Ocean. Miss Mary Hannah Krout left Chioago Feb. 8 for San Francisco when she takes passage for Honolulu. It has been ten weeks since Mi9B Krout waa hurt and her leg is still in a silicate cast from the knee to the toe and she cannot walk a step without her crutches. Her condition will naturally interfere greatly with her comfort but she Btill thinks she will be able to do satisfactory work, as all her friends are certain she will.
The plan of going to Hawaii was originally her own she having received private advices as to the approaohing crises. She went to Mr. Nixon, managing editor of the Inter Ocean, with her plan and had great difficulty in convincing him that the Hawaiian situation would become interesting. Mr. Ivohlsaat, the publisher, would not be convinced at all and objected to her being sent on suoh an expensive trip. Miss Krout, however, felt so certain that her anticipations would be verified—as they have been to the letter—that
she could reach the "seat of war." On the Saturday that the news came she was visiting a friend on the west side and the evening papers were carefully kept from her but on opening a paper Sunday morning she saw what she so dreaded to see—that the crisis had corr.e.
It wns a terrible blow after all the weeks and months of anticipation but she called a carriage and was driven nt once to Mi. Nixon'B home. She hobbled in on one crutch in order that he might not think her so lame as she really was and laid the matter before him. Mr. Niion is a

It Will be a Snug Windfall. Senator Voorhpes has introduced a proposed amendment to the Sundry Civil bill appropriating $6,000 to be paid to the heirs of Bayless W. Hanna. This is the amount claimed by the heirs of Mr. Hanna, as the difference between his pay as Minister Resident and Con-sul-General to Argentine Republic and the salary due him as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary during the time he served in such capacity at Buenos Ayres. Mrs. Hanna's friends hope that the amendment will be accepted.
Death of Win. Strickler.
Wm. Strickler, one of the most prominent business men of Ladoga, died on Feb. 7 of a complication of diseases. The funeral occurred on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by the Odd Fellows of which order the deceased was a prominent member. Quite a number from here will attend. Mr. Strickler formerly resided here and was one of the best known and most reep- cted citizens of the county. His death is lamented by all.
