WHAT Hi. EXPECTED.

Ward Burrows .Receives the Verdict iie Anticipated. It was 2:30 o'clock when the court bouse bell announced tbat a verdict bad been reached and tbe court room was tilled in short order by an interesting throng. Officer Grimes went to the jail after the defendant and found him impatiently awaiting. On tbe way to tbe court room Burrows remarked: "I'll bet you the cigars 1 can call a turn on the verdict." "I'll take you," said the officer. "Well, they will give me two years with the usual trimmings," remarked Ward in an off hand manner. "I guess you just about struck it,'* was the response.

When the jury had been polled in the cojirt room tbe verdict was handed up. It gave the defendant two years in the northern prison, a "fine of one dollar and five years disfranchisement.

Mr. Clodfelter stated that the defense would stand on the verdict at present and ask a new trial later on. The jurv on the first ballot were unanimous for guilt, but it took over twenty ballots to fix the penalty, the votes ranging all the way from one to six years' imprisonment.

Burrows heard the verdict without a change of countenance and on his way to the jail, remarked: "Well, it's just exactly what I expected all along!"

It would seem that Ward did not have the ffiith in his cause which is usually characteristic of the innocent victims of circumstantial evidence.

A Disputation,

A select and usually congenial coterie of high toced gentlemen were seated about the elegant tile fireplace in McGuire's aristocratic saloon Tuesday. It was cool outside and conversation which is always introduced with weather references gradually drifted to circumstances and things incident to cool weather. Naturally the succulent oyster was soon the topic of conversation. Two gentlemen with the cultivated taste of pampered epicures were present in the distinguished persons of Mr. Frank Smith and Mr. Charley Anabel. It' might be said on the side that the chief cultivation of their tastes has been in fluids but we forbear any unkind remarks and will merely state things as they were without entering into a dissertation on the demerits of any one. Oysters were being discussed and it appears that the epicures were at some considerable variance as to the best brand. "You kin talk about eyesters till the cows come home," remarked Mr. Anabei with a depreciatory wave of his jeweled hand, "but as fur me give me the deep sea' cove oysters or give me beer."

Mr. Smith relieved his six-foot frontage of mouth of a deluge of liquid tobacco and suavely remarked "To the blue blazes with -jour half-starved, half rotten deep eea coves. The fresh and juicy e^ester of Sugar crick is good enough fur me and what's good enough fur me is good enough fur Queen Vic toria or ever Demas Gilbert after he gets through with Crawford and Mnhlei sen." '"Eysters, indeed," ejaculated Mr. Anabel, and he gracefully allowed half a buckt of redeye to slip down his throat in a stream four inches deep. "Them aint eyesters. Them is muscles, them is." "Mr. Anabnl," coldly responded Mr. smith, "It affords me some degree of painful anguish to feel myself obligated to ruthlessly tear asunder the hitherto strong and golden cords of happy friendship binding UB together, but nevertheless I feel it incumbent upon me to demoninate you as a frouzy old liar." "Frank." replied Mr. Anabel as he knocked Mr. Smith in the head with a large and heavily charged clay cuspidor, "if any one had told me half an hour previous to this inauspicious moment that oircumstanoes should assume the lamentable aspect they now do I Bhould have believed that one a prevaricator. My heart is breaking under my painful necessity of breaking your dome of thought. I have loved you with a love like unto that of David for Jonathan. I had hoped that our fortunes united in some future day that we should operate together the beverage emporium opposite the marble courts of the Monon etation.

But tbat is past—If you should stray Beside my grave some future day Perhaps the violets o'er my dust With bait reveal their sacred trust And say—their blue eyes full of dew— "He loved you better than you knew." Mr. Annbel turned aside to weep and drink but Mr. Smith recovered suffi ciently to give him half a dozen affectionate raps on the head with a beer bottle. About this time the police arrived and both gentlemen were escorted to jail. The Mayor put on the fancy fixings this morning in his usual happy manner.

Hicks 011 October.

Hicks, the weather prophet, makes the following forecast for October: The month will come in with storms, followed by a cool wave from the 3rd to the 8th. Some snow, rain and high winds may be expected. A cold wave of wide dimensions from the 8th to the 11th end heavy frosts from the 10th to the 13th. The next storm period will be from the 15th to the 18th. Heavy autumnal storm from the 26th to tbe 30th with a cold wave the last four days of the month.

Abigail Davis.

Abigal Davis, who died in this city on the 25th inst., was born in New Jersey, on the 5th day of Feb., 1795. She was married to Randolph Davis in 181(5, in Butler county, Ohio. They came to Montgomery county, Ind., about the last of October, 1826, and settled on Indian creek. She emigrated from New Jersey to Ohio with her parents when she was a small girl. Her maiden name was Abigal Hoel. When they settled in this county it was mostly a wilderness, and their goods remained in the wagon in which they removed from Ohio, until a cabin was built, which structure was completed the same day it was begun—the timber having been previously cut and hauled to the ground. She was a woman of great force of character, high intelligence, and had the enviable characteristic of wishing to live in independence on her own labor and management. She was kind and gentle, not only to her children but to everybody else, and a model of honesty and fair dealing. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Her funeral will take place from the Christian church at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday next,funeral sermon by Rev. W. J. Howe, with the assistance of other ministers of the city, Mrs. Davis was not a member of any church organization, but had a decided purtialil.y for the Baptist denomination.

(Julver-Beatn.

At the home of the groom in Waynetown Sunday afternoon, Dr. Dudley M. Culver and Mies Tillie Beam were married by Rev. T. J. Shuey. Promptly at 5 o'clock Miss Minnie Landman, of Urawfordsviile, took her place at the piano and the notes of a beautiful wedding inarch announced to the expectant guests that the hour had arrived. The bride and groom entered preceded by the minister and stood facing the company during the service which was beautiful and impressive. At the conclusion of the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room where a bountiful repast was served in an elegant manner, followed by congratulations. The occasion was one long to be remembered by those present. The prominence of the contracting parties renders this one of the most important social events of the season. Dr. Culver is.one of the most successful practitioners in the county, while Mrs. Culver is the handsome and accomplished daughter of the late Jacob Beam. They will make Waynetown their home, where the Doctor has a large und lucrative practice. The guests from a distance were Dr. Jones, Mrs. Insley, Miss Landman, and perhaps others, from Crawfordsville, and Mr. and Mrs. Culver, parents of the groom, from Indianapolis.

A Word for Indiana.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean of Wednesday has this graceful editorial tribute to the Hoosier State: "This is Indiana's day. Whether her brave resolve to outdu Illinois day will be accomplished will LH known b7 to morrow, but it is certain ihat Indiana day will be a memorable one in the history of the great exposition. No State, not Illinois herself, nor New York, nor Pennsylvania, nor Iowa, has prepared so thoroughly for a display of its beet products—the human mind and soul—as Indiana. The other States have sent Governors and orators to speak for them, but Indiana, with a profuseness of display, sends a Govert •, an ex-President, an ex Secretary of the Navy who still is the 'old man eloquent', a Senator t* citizen who has won renown as a general, as an ambassador, and as an author and a poet whose melodies are 'wood notes wild', and Bweet as wild. No State has come to the exposition under the lead of such a band of notables. The best wishes of Illinois Hre with Indiana: may the weather be propitious all the day long, and the numbers assembled worthy of tbe attractions presented

An Interesting Address.

Charles A. Tattle, the new Professor of History and Sociology of Wabash College, delivered the first of a series of public lectures Tuesday at the college chnpel. Besides students a goodly number of citizens, both ladies and gentlemen. were present. He was introduced by President Burroughs. The initial lecture was mainly devoted to tbe basic principles of economics, a study that should engage the attention of tbe masses as well as the student. Prof. Tuttle is a pleasing talker and his lecture bore all the evidences of a man thoroughly conversant with the branches he proposes to teach. Wabash College can be congratulated that this chair has been established and that the services of a thoroughly competent man have been secured to fill it.

A Dirty Triok.

Two young men driving between Ladoga and Crawfordsville played a most despicable trick upon the residents along the road tho other day and furnished themselves with some rather shady and peculiar amusement. They stopped at every house beginning at the residence of Dr. Mahorney and stated that "a lady in the next house back on the road h^ fallen and broken her leg and the folks wanted a little assistance from the neighbors." Of course those informed went hustling across the fields to the home of the supposed disaster while the jokers went driving on to practice their little game at the next houee. They sent scores of people flying on vain missions of mercy.

AN A. P. A. ORG AS.

A New Paper Founded at Indianapolis to Boom the A. P. A. The first number of the Indiana Loyal American, published in the interests of the Indiana A. P. A., appeared at Indianapolis Saturday evening. The names of the publishers and editois do not appear in the paper. The paper set forth the principles of the A. P. A. as follows:

Allegiance to God, our country, our laws and our Mag. Protection to American institutions.

The American public schools, the fortress of our Republic, must, and shall be protected.

No foreigners given employment unless naturalized American citizens. No diversion of the common school funds and property for sectarian purposes.

American education for the wards of the Nation and State. Intelligent citizenship and an educational qualification for everv voter.

An open Bible. No sectarian appropriations. No union of church and State. A free church in a free State. Regulation and restriction of immigration.

Extention of time for naturalization. American lands for American settlers. ID its "greeting" the paper says: The A. P. A. is not a political organization—stick a pin there—we thought best to say this first to ease yemi mind.

Those who are in the A. P. A. are not cutthroats, thieves, liars or knaveB, nor are we traitors. We love our country, and our flag and our public sohools. As loyal citizens we are trying to protect them against the foreign invader which we call RomaniBm. We also want it distinctly understood that we recognize the constitutional and divine right for each man to worship his God as he chooses. If the Romanists had ohosen to stop then, there would have been no demand for such patriotio societies as the A. P. A., P. O. S. of A., etc. but we will try to present facts to prove to the sleepy, unsuspecting American oitizens that Rome has honeycombed too many of our cities.

The paper does not furnish any information as to how many members of the organization there ore in Indiana.

Oase Affirmed.

The case of Win. Threldkill vs. A. J. Baldwin, which went on a change of venue from the Montgomerv oircuit court to the Clinton circuit court and thence to the Appellate court, has been finally decided against Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Baldwin bought a stallion in Kentncky and paid for it with the note of a third person, for $600, which turned out to be bogus. Threldkill sued for the price of the horse and received judgment, and the Apellate court now decides that Baldwin must pay the judgment. The court says: If the facts found by the court do not determine an issue raised by an answer in favor of the plaintiff he fails in his plea on ap- I peal. 2. The indorser of a note war-1 rants its genuin* ness and the ability of1 the maker to pay. If the maker is a 1 non-resident at the time of the maturity ofjthe note suit need not be brought against the maker before suing the indorser. 3. The court has a right to deduce from the act of destruction after the commencement of an action the inference of a fraudulent design to do away with the letters destroyed, and the exclusion of testimony as to their contents was proper.

He Never Game Baok.

The sheriff of Montgomery county leaned over his desk Wednesday and called out three times: "A. B. Anderson, come into court and bring the body of Fred H. Wilson and save your recognizance!"

The loafers looked expeotantly toward the entrance with visions of Mr Anderson ambling through the door and up the aisle with the body of Mr. Wilson on a stretcher and covered with a sheet. They were disappointed, however, for Mr. Anderson did not some, nor yet the body of Fred H. Wilson, who was accused of robbing Mr. Harvey Thompson, and upon whose bond the name of Mr. Anderson stood for $200. As Mr. Wilson failed to show np Mr. Anderson had to pay that $200. It's pretty tough on a fellow to have to pay over $200 for having trusted a rascal in philanthropic way, but Mr. Anderson will have it to stand. It was mighty mean, too, of Senator Seller to remark that Mr. Anderson probably made enough over $200 in the transaction to pay for putting a Wilson memorial window in his new residence.

Death of J. George Borst.

J. George Borst, aged 55 years, died quite suddenly Thursday about 4 o'clock a. m. at his home on the Market street hill. The hour of the funeral has not yet been determined.

Mr. Borst brought his family here from Indianapolis Beveral years ago and has operated and owned tbe fertil izer factory in the valley. He leaves wife and eight children, five girls and three boys. Mr. Borst was an excellent citizen and his sad death is generalh lamented.

Vory Is Happy.

A Washington special to the Terre Haute Kxpress says: "Representative BrooksLire wore a satisfied look to-day when informed by the Express' correspondent that Ed Voris had been nominated to be postmaster at Crawfordsville. The Congressman had been laboriug to that end for several weeks and was beginning to grow discouraged, inasmuch as the term of the old postmaster expired on the 17th inst. Voris is vouched for by Brookshire as a competent, acceptable man, whose appointment will give general satisfaction. The appointee is best known outside his own town as a crack wing shot.

Mr. Brookshire returned this morning from White Sulphur Springs, Va., where he spent a day or two with his wife, who is enroute from Battle Cruek, Mich., to Ashville, N. C., where she will spend the winter. Mrs. Brookshire's health has been improved.

The representative of the Eighth district may take part in the Virginia campaign now in progress. The situation in the Old Dominion is conoedod to be very serious for the Democracy, and they are straining every nerve to compass O'Ferril' election as governor. It is to aid in accomplishing this result for one thing that the bill to repeal the election laws has been brought forward in the House at this time. Representative Swanson, who has just returned from a meeting of the executive committee of the Slate, says that the Republican Populist combine in the State is going to make hard fighting for the Democracy."

White-Olaik.

The most brilliant social event of the season at Alamo was the marriage of Mr. Will E. White and Miss Hala Clark, both of that place, on Wednesday evening, Sept. 27th, at 8 o'clock, at the home of the bride. The home was very handsomely decorated and all care was taken to make the oocasion one of the most pleasant to the many friends and relatives, who had gathered to witness the ceremony. The wedding march was rendered very beautifully by MisB Nellie Brown, aB the bride and groom entered, attended by Mr. Samuel H. Watson, classmate of the groom, and Miss Anna Bell. Taking their position, facing the officiating clergyman, Rev. W. G. Higgins, of Lebanon, he soon made the two hearts one. After the ceremony refreshments were served and congratu'a tions were then Bhowered upon the' young couple. They received many valuable and costly presents. Mrs. White is the youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs. G. W. Clark. She is a lady of many rare accomplishments, and a favorite among all. Mr. White is a son of John M. White, a veiy extensive and successful farmer near Alamo. He is a graduate of Wabash college, having graduated with high honors in June, 1893. He is now president of the Favorite Book Case M'f'g Co., at Crawfordsville, which began operation a short time ago. Both the young people are very popular and well known. Their many friends all join in extending congratulations and beBt wishes. J. M.

Baptist Ohuroh Dedication. The new Baptist oharch, located on the corner of Pike and Walnut streets, is now completed, and one has only to look through it to see tbat it harmonizes with the tasteful enterprise of our city, ana reflects credit upon the church and its many friends who have aided in the building. The dedication will take place next Sunday. Rev. E. S Graham, D. D., of Hannibal, Mo., has been chosen to preach the Bermon. Dr. Graham has for many years made this work a specialty. Up to the present time he has officiated at the dedication of one hundred and twenty-six ohurches. Dr. P. S. Henson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Chicago, who is so well known to the people of Crawfordsville, in a personal letter to Rev. G. P. Fason, says: "My opinion is that your church will make no mistake in calling Rev. E. S. Graham. He is a man of fine ability, excellent spirit, and is a 'born hustler.' I greatly like him." The doors of the auditorium will beopened at 10:15 a. m. A cordial invitation is extended to the public. Following is the order of exercises
