A Hint to the Wise.

The following from the Louisville Courier-Journal will doubtless prove a valuable hint to certain Crawfordsville citizens who are always keen for a law suit:

J. L. Clemmons yesterday morning filed suit against the Ohio & Mississippi Railway Company, charging it with assault and battery. Plaintiff says in his petition that he owns and resides in a house on the south side of Montgomery street, between Thirteenth and Thirtyfirst. Last March 13, he says, the defendants through their servants and agents, "committed an assault and batUrv uuon his person by casting into Iiib face, eyeB and month, against his consent, great clouds of smoke, soot and cindern from a locomotive placed immediately front of his house." The assuult continued, he alleges, every day and every night until April 10. Plaintiff' a6ks damages in the sum of SI,000.

Ready for Business.

The Indiaun and Ohio Live Stock Insurance, reorganized from the Indiana Live Stock Investment Company, is now ready for business, having complied in every particular with the new law regulating the insurance of live stock. Mr. Ramsey, president of the company, has deposited *with the Auditor of State at Indianapolis, $28,000 in bonds, S3,000 more than actually required, and has received in return the necessary certificates.

Stolen Rig Found.

Tuesdny evening Marshal Brothers received a telephone message from Waynetown announcing that Mike Zellar's horse and wagon had been found deBerted at the Big Four coal chute between that place and Hillsboro. Zellar went to Waynetown last night and brought his outfit home. It had been driven there by two boys who boarded there the westbound freight train.

A QUEER CASE.

The Plaintiff In a Damage Suit Denies the Material Allegations of the Complaint,

Tuesday Hanna & Hanna filed a suit in the circuit court against Charley Annebel for $10,000 damages. The plaintiff was Mrs. William Turner who resides with her husband in the aristocratic neighborhood around the iron bridge. The complaint alleges that la9t month Mrs. Turner desired to visit relatives at San Pierre, Ind., but had no way to get to the Monon station that Charley Annabel volunteered to take her: that upon reaching thiUj station in the night the train was found to be late that Annabel took her to a neighboring joint, drugged her and took improper liberties with her. Mr.

Annabel roared like a hungry bear when he heard of the case and his attorney. Col. Courtney, rushed post haste to San Pierre to consult the divinity who poses as plaintiff in the case. She likewise roared with a noise to which the roar of my lord Annabel was but as the ssrjueak of a moupe. She denied the allegations made in the complaint and also that she had ever authorized the bringing of the suit. Read Hanna states that Mr. Turner, the husband, employed the firm to bring the suit for his wife and that was at her behest that it was brought. When Mrs. Turner returns from her visit in San Pierre theie promises to be some sport in the recherche north end.

The Illinois Legislature

Looking after the alum and ammonia baking powders a bill for an act entitled "An Act to Regulate the Traffic in Baking Powder," has been introduced in the Legislature at Springfield, by Mr. Nohe. The bill is intended to prevent the adulterations of baking powders with ammonia or alum, imposing proper penalties to enforce the law, 6tc. This shows an earnest desire on the part of our representatives to protect their constituents.

The Chicago Tribune, referring to the question of legislation on Alum and Ammonia baking powders, says: "It deals in a direct manner with an evil that must be cut down." "Following is a partial list of the names of the brands sold in this State that have been examined and found to contain either Ammonia or Alum. Many of the Alum and Ammonia powders are labeled and advertised as absolutely pure to mislead the public. "Calumet," "Forest City," "Chicago Yeast," "Grant's Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Taylor's One Spoon," "Unrivaled," "Snow Puff," "Snow Ball," "Zipp's Crystal," "Climax," "Monarch," "Western Prince," "Town Talk," "Crown," "Kefiton," "Mammoth."

In addition to the above list there is a multitude of brands sold with a prize. It is safe to reject all baking powders sold with a prize, as the tests show they are composed largely of alum and cost but a few cents per pound. Also refuse any baking powder sold at twenty-five cente a pound, or less it is Bure to contain alum.

Surely nothing but their cheapness could induce the public to experiment with these impure powders at the risk of health. Aside from the question of health or the wholesomeness of these condemned powders, and viewed from the standpoint of economy alone, a pure cream of tartar baking powder like "L)r. Price's," from its greater known strength and unquestioned puriU, will prove more economical to the user in every way.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

From Dr. Bassett's Oollection. Tbe Peabody Museum at Yale University has lately received a gift of great value. It consists of slabs, representing the botton of the sea and showing the character of tbe faana and especially of crinoide, corals and mollusks. The slabs are 16 in number, including a large slab 4 by 7 feet in dimensions. This is the largest specimen of its kind in existence, the only other one approaching it in size being in the Westernburg Museum at Munich, and in a poor state of preservation. The slabs were found near each other in a single layer of the Keokuk shale at Crawfordsville, Ind. On them are shown 118 individual crinoids belonging to 16 different species. With these are 10 species and 25 specimens of other fossils, including corals, mollusks, sponges, etc. The collection was made by D. A.jjBassett and presented to the museum by

Prof. Marsh, and forms the most interesting and valuable gift that the uius eum has received during the past year.

Neiv York Evangelist.

Home from New York.

Dr. J. N. Taylor, of the State Board of Health, has arrived home from New York, where he

thas

been in attendance

at a convention of members of the State Boards of Health. He was the vice president for Indiana of the council. The Boards of Health all over the conn try have prepared themselves to prevent the spread of cholera and the prospects the Doctor thinks, of keeping the disease away are better than ever before.

Home Aeain.

General and Mrs. Lew Wallace have returned to their home in this city and will remain here during the spring and summer. General Wallace is now relieved of the onerous labor of his new novel and proposes to take a much needed and much merited rest for awhile.

Death of a Youns Lady.

Miss Lizzie Busenbark, daughter of Samuel Busenbark, died Wednesday at noon at her home three miles north of town. 8he had a complication of die eases resulting from the grip. She was 23 years old.

"Six days shalt thou labor," says the great lawgiver. To do good work, man must be at his best. This condition is attained by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It overcomes that tired feeling, quickens the appetite, improves digestion, and makes the weak strong.

THE JONKET.

What the Council Saw at JBloomington and Danville. A junket is an educator, well worth many times its cost to the city. The people should not object to them, especially when they are like this last one where the railroad furnished free transportation.

On Monday morning councilmen Smith, Scott, Tomlinson and Myers, ako Engineer Waugh and Assistant Engineer McCluer boarded the cars for Bloomington, 111., to study the paving and street car questions. They were received by a committee of the council and taken on a tour of inspection in the city's handsome new patrol wagon. The citizens thought they were under arrest and many remarks were made to the effect that they looked like a gang of bums anyhow.

Bloomington own her water works and has from the time when they were built six years ago at a cost of §225,000. The lates are about half what they are here and yet the plant is nearly paid forand will "be self sustaining in a short time. When once paid for the receipts will be devoted to street improvements, thus re ducing the taxes. Bloomington also owns her light plant and uses 219 street lamps at a cost of $50 a year for each. As yet the city does no private lighting but Boon expects to compete with the two private companies which now monopolize this part of the business. Incandescent lamps there with two competing companies cost 60 cents a month while we pay but 40 cents. Bloomington's plant was built three years ago at a cost of $80,000. Bloomington also has a fine fire department with two houses, each provided with a steamer, a hose cart, a hook and ladder outfit and eleven men. Her streets are paved with brick, that is 14 miles of them, and some of them are eighteen years old and have been repaired only slightly in that time. The street car line is only a fair one. Between the tracks the company was allowed to lay the bricks on the flat side, and this, taken into connection with the ties, which are not placed deep enough in, makes the pavement very unstable. Bloomington has sewers under all brick streets.

On Tuesday morning the junketers began a tour of Danville. The city although not owning its water or light plant has magnificent street paving and elegant street car service. It rained while our party was there but shortly after the storm the brick streets were as dry and clean as a kitchen floor. They are swept twice a week and always look well. The street car tracks are laid on ties but the ties are so far down as not to injure the pavement. One company owns the street cars, water and light plants. Water rates are higher than here* and street lights cost the city $88 a year.

For the above information we are under obligations to Hon. Jefferson Scott.

A New House Wrecked.

A new house in course of erection near Offiel's creek on the Terre Haute road belonging to Cale Davis was completely wrecked Tuesday by the storm which prevailed. It was torn from its foundation and almost blown to atoms. It will be a complete loss.

Horse Thief Detectives Organized. The Horse Tbief Detective Associations have united in a county organization called "The Mont.gomerv County Union Detective Association." It will meet the third Thursday in September each year Permanent officers have been elected.

Olay Hall's Sale.

Clay Hall's sale occurred Thursday and attracted a large crowd. Everything was sold at excellent priceu. Cows brought from $55 to $102, heifers irom $35 to $45, and horses from $75 to $135. Implements, etc., also brought good prices.

Death of Grandfather Bly.

Word has been received of the death of J. M. Bly lust Friday at Harveysbnrg, where he had gone gone last Christmas to live with his son. He was 88 years old and had long been a resident of Crawfordsville.
