What's In a Name?

Peter S. Kennedy, proprietor of a barrel house at the south end of Virginia avenue, went on a spree last night, and in his rounds Btopped at Sherman's cafe on south Illinois street. He shattered a plate glass in one of the doors with a pop bottle which he carried in his hand. He-was arrested by the merchant policeman on the beat and slated for malicious trespass.—Indianapolis Jovrnal,

A Mission Ohurch.

The official board of the Methodist church is considering the advisability of establishing a mission church in the west end of town. The city is growing in that diaection quite rapidly ana at present all the churches are bunched near the center of the place. There is an excellent field in the west end, a very excellent field, white already to harvest, and no doubt a mission school would do no end of good out there.

Death of George W. Danner. George W. Danner died Feb. 25 at noon at his residence on east Franklin street, from the lingering effects of the grip, aged 64 years.

Rehearing Denied.

A rehearing has been denied in the case of Elias J. Brown vs. Margaret J. Brov which was taken from here to .the Supreme Court. Judge Hackney, 'making the decision, says:

To allege an ownership in lands at a time months before a suit for partition is brought is a fact which suggests ownership at the time the partition is asked, but is a fact which does not necessarily imply an ownership at such a time, and "*yis not sufficient to supply the necessury ^legation of ownership at tho time suit jor partition is brought.

a y, The Oollectorship fight. A special from Terre Haute to the InJldianapolie Journal anent the collectorship fight says the following, which will be of interest to the friends of the Crawfordsville candidute:

The "kick" is not on Judge Jump personally, but on the presumption of Lar in picking out this office for his law'partner, espec:ally as he had already pioked out the postoffice for one of his henchmen, and preempted Senator Voorhees' influence in his behalf. The statement that Congressman Brookshire was enlisted in the opposition pleased his friends, who felt that he had already submitted to too much of the Lamb in4erference.

MABRIAGB LICENSE.

W. H. Goldsbury and Irena Dixon

We Have Both Kinds in Orawfordsville. This is the sli -i pe of a woman's waist. on which a corset tight is laced, the ribs deformed by being squeezed, press on the lungs till they're diseased. -f

The heart is jammed and cannot pump, tho liver is a torpid lump, the stom--r ach, crushed, cannot digest, and in a mess are all compressed. There fore this silly woman grows to be a fearful mass of woes, but thinks she has a lovely, 6hane, though hideous, as a crippled ape.

This is

a woman's natural wair-fc, which corsot never yet disgraced. Inside it is a mine of health. Outside, of charms it has a wealth.

It is a thing of beauty true, and a sweet joy for ever new. It needs no artful .. padding vile or bustle big to* it "style."

It's strong and solid, plump and sound, and hard to get one arm around. Alas! If women only knew the mischief that these corsets do, they'd let dame nature have her way, and never try her "waste" to "stay." —Pennsylvania Grit.

Thieves in a Strange Place. All during the winter there has been petty pilfering going oo at the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. Persons taking lessons oi exercise there havf had to be very guarded as to "h t.h»y left in their clothes in the u.w'jg room. Sometimes money would be taken, sometimes clothes, and sometimes towels. Monday afternoon Kramer, a college Freshman, suffered quite a loss. Upon going into the gymnasium he loft $20 in bills in his pocketbook in the dressing room. When he left off exercise and returned to his clothes the money was gone. 3e raised a row ver naturally and a general search was made but without result. The money had been stolen and that's all there was about it. Of course, no blame attaches to the authorities as only persons of seeming respectability are admitted to the rooms, to jay nothing of the privileges of the ai/iociation. The fact that pilfering has been going on nevertheless remains a cold, cruel fact and all are constrained to believe it the work of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Went After the Legislature. Dr. H. A. Tucker lectured at the Methodist church Sunday evening to a crowded house, his subject being "Ireland." The subject proper was preluded with a few plain and pertenant remarks concerning the Indiana legislature which Dr. Tucker denominated as being the most thriftless, brainless and corrupt body in the history of the State. It has acceded to every demand of the whisky ring and refused to legislate against the Roby race track which was too wicked for even that most wicked of all modern cities, Chicago.

Dr. Tucker's lecture on Ireland was a plea for home rule. He believes the people of Ireland would be greatly benefited by the passage of Gladstone's bill and that under the present condition of affairs that thev are shamefully oppressed. The lecture was quite an instructive and entertaining one.

Otto Looms Up.

The following from the Indianapolis Journal about Otto Gresham who graduated from Wabash College in 1881 will be of interest to his many friends here:

One of the most interesting figures in this powerful but unofficial branch of the Assembly is Otto Gresham, son of the most-talked-of personage in the country. He has been in the railroad lobby during the whole session as the representative of the Chicago & Atlantic, and since Democrats began to appreciate the fact that his father would be at the head of Cleveland's Cabinet and have an immense amount of patronage at his disposal, anything young Mr. Gresham has asked has been his. He is devoting his time just now to the Senate, where the coemployes' liability bill is lodged.

Private Opinion Made Public. M. Hi. Ciodtelter: "l'es, I'm satished with our judgment against, the Dohertys. lou bet I'm satisfied. We might have got judgment for ten hundred million, but it wouldn't have been worth a cent more thm what we got. We got judgment for all we can collect. The man who wants more than he can get is a durn fool. Yot bet, I don't want more than I can get and I'm mighty well satisfied."

Resigned.

James Johnston, the colored substitute letter carrier, has resigned to accept a position as porter at the Nutt House. AB the office is now under civil service rules Postmaster Bonnell has written to headquarter to ascertain how a successor to the place ahull 6e appointed.

RAW FORDS VILLE INDIANA SATURDAY,

KIDNAPPED.

Two Youngsters Spirited Away From the Orphans' Home. Mrs. Stephenson, the beautiful blonde lady, formerly Mrs. McKinsev, is again in possession of her two blooming 6ons, nged eight to ten. Some weeks ago they were found to be in a destituto condition and by an order of the circuit court were placed in the Orphans' Home. Mrs. Stephenson, who is a red headed terror, fairly tore np the enrth when the Sheriff levied on her almost nuked and starved darlings. She knew that they were in a place of comfort, hut that didn't, satisfy hor. She wonted them with herself in a miserable home on half rations, and the way she charged through the 6ti-^j was a caut:on. She had frequently veiled her offspring at the Home and it is more than likely rhe put them np to making a br^'ni ''or liberty and the north end. Sunday morning, as usual, the who) pack ot waifs was started off for the First Presbyterian church to attend Sunday school. The McKinse} urchins started with the rest but, did not return with thpm. They had given the rest the slip somewhere i,n the w'iy and (led for the recherche north and where mamma McKinsev-Stephenson is a leading social light. Upon the discovery of the loss Matron Hiner reported the loss to the Sheriff who refused to act without another order from the court. The case stands just there at present.

Lebanon Sells Too.

All arrangements for the sale of the natural gas plant of the Lebanon Light, Heat & Power Co., and the artificial plant of the American Gas Co., have been completed except the transferring of the stock of the local stockholders and a meeting will be held at the office of the L. H. & P. company to-night for the purpose of completing the transfer. J. C. Brown this afternoon received a telegram from Major Doxey stating that the sale had been made and that 'ie and Mr. Dilks would be in Lebar this evening and that representative of the syndicate would also be here. According to the arrangements made the entire Btook will bp. Bold at 891 per share. The syndicate is supposed to he the same one that cchased the Orawfordsville and Thorntown plants and is said to be reaching after the plants at Lafayette, Frankfort and Logansport. According to the Ji .ester Pipe & Tube Co., the Orawfordsville plant was sold to a Dutch syndicate.—Lebanon Reporter.

Wants to Go to Belfast.

Con Cunningham is in Washington, D. C., attending the inauguration and to urge his claims before the incoming administration. Con has claims and he will push them with all the groce and avidity of his Hibernian nature. Con wants to be United States consul at Belfast, Ireland, and he thinks he stands a most excellent opportunity of receiving the appointment. There isn't much money in the place but Con is after honor. He was raised in Belfast and came to America to make his fortune. Now he desires to go back and show to his old neighbors the glorious possibilities of the States. He as United States Consul, would be a greater man than the stern old 'Squire of whom he used to stand in such awe or even the jolly old priest for whom be had so much reverence in the bygone days when he was a quaint little" bog trotter who had never heard of the Democratic party or Vory Brookshire.

In Memory of Jacob Beam.

A committee of the Ripley Horse Thief Detective Association composed of Frank Booher, W. W. McClure and John H. Smith, reported the following resolutions on the death of Jacob Beam one of their members:

WHEKEAS, It has pleasea the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to call from our midst our beloved and honored brother, Jacob Beam, to that eternal home where sorrow is no more, in consequence of which we do mourn in deep sorrow our loss, yet we bow in humble submission to Him, who doeth all things well.

Resolved, That the members of the Ripley Horse Thief'Detective Association extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of our deceased brother in their sad affliction.

Resolved, That we ask of the couhtv papers to publish these resolutions, a «op.y furnished the sorrow stricken family, and that they be spread upon the records of the Company.

Rough On the Soothsayer.

On Monday, in Chuaiasero's court, White & Coppnge got a judgment against old Madame Crowe, our redoubtable fortune teller, for the sum of $33. The old crona had stood good for her sun, the illustrious Ben Crowe, in his divorce suit some time since. She wanted the attorneys to take out the bill in propitious fortunes and hokeybos but both courteously declined and brought suit with the result stated.

A Thief Jailed.

Grant Agnew has returned from a trip north of Frankfort, where he arrested Ed Mclntyre on a grand jury indictment. During the fair last fall Mclntyre snatched a pocketbook containing $50 from Martin Mote and fled. He could not be found by the police and was located only a few days ago. He expressed no surprise when arrested and came on to Orawfordsville as peacefully as a fat kitten,^ He will undoubtedly go over the road.

MARCH

WILLIE CHRISTIAN.

The Dear Boy Meets With Sundry Adventures in the Wilds of Arkansas. Willie Christian, who graduated from iibaph College last June, is at his home in Indianapolis, after a tempestuous sojourn in darkest Arkansaw. When Willie left college he was of a rather religious turn of mind and had fully determined to go to Persia as a white winged missionary, carrying soul food to perishing thousands. His latest role is that of a woman fighter in an Arkansaw logging camp. Willie's ideas of a missionary life seem to have faded gently away after his return to Indianapolis from college, and the salubrious moral atmoaphero which surrounded him there was more conducive to business. He first resolved to be a doctor and saw legs off and dispense pills to suffering humanity. But he threw physic to the dogs when the chance for a glorious life in an Arkansaw logging camp opened before him. He went, li6 saw, ai.d came home. It seems that the associates with whom Willie was thrown were somewhat rougher than those gentle gazelles that Wabash turned loose on the innocent world last June. The lumbermen drank considerably, swore outrageously and one day a gentleman from a neighboring camp stole Willie's gum boots. It was unwise on Willie's part, but he lost no time in swearing out a search warrant and descending on the suspect's cabin with a constable. The irate owner gathered a host of his accomplished and "half shot" friends and swooped down on the seeker after boots with the avowed intention of lynching him. Willie escaped only after a long run through the woods and arrived in hie own camp nearly dead from fatigue and fright. Soon after thiB he had E difficulty with h:s amiable landlady over the propriety of allowing a couple of negroes to sleop in hie room. Willie came out of thie with a beautifully blacked eye. Hie vicissitudes were great and he endured many things to maintain his social standing in the truly high-toned community. Shortly before his return to Indiana he wrote to Tom Moore, here in college, that he hadn't had a bath since Christmas. He should have been pleased to have one, he wrote, but people would think he was "stuok up" if he insisted on such a ceremony, so for polioy'B sake he desisted.

Prevents Double Taxation.

Mr. Lindemuth, one of the Republican leaders in the Legislature, has introduced a bill which we hope will have the snpport of our representatives. They should not be BO deeply dyed in Democratic partisanship as to vote against it simply because its author is a Republican. The Indianapolis Journal explains it as follows:

Of more importance to the people than any tax-law amendment offered this year is Mr. Lindemuth's bill, which came up on favorable committee report yesterday from the ways and meanB committee. It provides that all mortgage indebtedness taxable iu this State shall be deducted from the taxable value of the real estate it is secured by. Mr. Lindemuth explained that the bill was of interest to the borrowing class and would prevent double taxation. At present the borrower pays full taxes upon

hiB

mort­

gaged property, and pays also, either directly or indirectly, upon the mortgages.

Mr. Barnes asked if this would not let the railroads out to the full extent of their bonds, and Mr. Lindemuth replied that he thought not, as few, if any, railroad bonds were taxed in this State. However, if there was any such loophole in the bill it could easily be amended, ani he would accept the amendment. Mr. Clauser also spoke for the bill and the report was adopted.

A Olub of Liars.

The Ananias and Sapphira club is a unique organization whose birthplace is Orawfordsville, Ind. It is said to be the rareBt aggregation of lying sportsmen to be found anywhere, over whose farcical deliberations the Hon. E. C. Snyder, judge of the Montgomery circuit court, presides with much gravity, deciding the worthiness of the stories told to be entered in the archives.— Neiv York Times.

The above item has gone the round ot the papers of the country. It shines forth in the plate matter of the cross roads county weekly and scintillates

among tho miscellaneous matter of the metropolitan daily. It, has been before the world for nearly two years. Such is fame.

The Doc Poisoner,

The dog poisoner is again abroad in the land and several victims have succumbed to him. Among others was Doc Britton's white bull dog, which he had just sold for §25 and was waiting to deliver. The annimal was a useful and peaceful one. Its destruction is to be lamented and its destroyer heartilv condemned. Worthless curs are allowed to run by scores but when the dog poisoner appears he invariably Belects valuable animals.

The Carrol Estate.

White Humphry fc Reeves have received notice from Lebanon, West Virginia, that the land of the Carrol estata has been sold for 872,000. This is the estate in which the Rutledge family of thie city are largely interested. White, Humphry & Reeves represent all the heirs of the estate in the country.

The society proposes to accomplish its objects: By bring about co-operation among all charitable agencies.

By a system of registration to prevent imposture. By securing thorough investigation uul the most suitable action in all cases.

By obtaining from exisiting charities th precise help needed or By giving relief when immediate aid ip needed, and when all other sources fail.

By a system of visiting which shall substitute friendliness for alms, and inwp're to thrift, self-respect, and better modes of life.

By careful study of the causes of pauperism, and of the'best methods of dealing: with destitution nnd degradation.

Under the new regime each household and each business iirm would be provided with blank forms for referring unknown applicants for aid to the general secretary. Tramps and professional beggars of all kinds will then have their cases investigated and will be dealt with accordingly. Children will be saved a life of pauperism which always leads to crime, and habits of thrift and industry will be inculcated. It is estimated that each depondent individual costs the community 8120 a year. At Terre Haute the society rid the city of 60 dependents in one year and therefore juBtly claim that they Baved for the taxpayers the sum of '$7,200. The cost of carrying on the entire work for the year was only $1,100. Similar results might be obtained in Orawfordsville. In Terrs Haute the oases of 355 families were investigated and only 115 of them were found worthy, or less than 83 per oent. So it can be estimated what a waste of charity there is in Orawfordsville every year. The new society would work to save this waste. Ample time will be given for everybody to look into the matter and then a public meeting will be called at which it is hoped all classes and all denominations will be present to give their hearty oo operation. $3,700. That is the Judgement Hurley & Olodfelter Gets Against the Dohertya.

At 3:80 o'clock last Saturday Judge Hurley received a telegram from W. T. Brush at Bockville stating that Judge White had allowed the firm of Hurley & Clodfelter $3,700 in their suit against the Dohertya for attorneys' feeB. Judge White set aside the deed made by Mrs. Dohercy to her grandchildren, conveying to them the home property on Green and Pike streets. This will enable the plaintiffs to collect the judgment. The suit was for $21,100.

A Physical Wreok.

It is with a feeling of deep sorrow and regret that THE JOURNAL announces that William Hulett has returned from his duties in the Legislature and is now confined to hiB home with a sovere attack of the rheumatism. Mr. Hulett left the city some weeks ago the picture of robust health to serve the State. The light of patriotism fired his eye and aB he bade his tearful friends farewell at the station he stated in a calm collected way that as much as human flesh and blood could stand for this grand old commonwealth, so much would he stand. It would be too harrowing to recount what this dauntless champion of the people's rights did stand in the legislative halls whore he served so nobly as assistant doorkeeper. It would move too many to gracious tears and dint of pity to narrate how he bravely, for so many weekB,

Bat

in an upholstered ohair

outside the railing in the Senate chamber, and valiantly cracked peanuts and jokes while the State floundered about in the sea of misrule. Other doorkeepers faltered iu the line of duty and went down to the Bates House bur for beer, but throughout the trying scenes William sat firm in his place like the heroic Roman soldier at Pompeii. He now returns to his native city shattered in health and a physical wreck. Rheumatism racks his once majestic frame but through all his sufferings he should be buoyed up by the knowledge of possoBsing the heartfelt sympathy of a large and grateful constituency.

How the Farmer's Heading Oirole Originated, Mrs. J. A. Mount read a paper three years ago in several institutes, the title of which was, "How Better the I ntellectnal and Social Condition of Farmer's Families." In this paper Farm's Reading Circles were recommended. This paper was rend at Goshen, and Mr. S. K. Bartholomew, who was President of the Institute,

waB

so pleased with the

idea that he took up the thought and discussed it in the papers. Out of this discussion originated the Farmer's Heading Circle, that now gives promise of becoming a power in our State. Just at present thin is of interest us the F. R. C. and the Teacher's R. C. have united in securing reduction from publishers in books uteU.
