A VIOIOUS DOG.

It Causes the Tragic Death of James M. Parks. Sunday morning James Michael Parks, a renter on the farm of John L. Davis, sonthwest of the city, met with an accident which resulted in his death a few hours later. Mr. Parks had occasion to visit the city yesterday and hitched a four-year-old mare of Mr. Davis to a two-wheeled go cart and drove in. He was driving along Wabash street when a small black cur, the property of Mrs. Hattie Dixon, rushed into the street and darting between the wheels of the cart, bit the mare on the heels. The animal was a spirited one and naturally plunged forward. The violence of his start broke the back Btrftp and the man moving forward the shafts of the two-wheeled vehicle fell, throwing Mr. Parks forward. He fell against the mare's heels and the startled animal gave him a vicious kick, which sent him rolling twenty feet away. The neighbors quickly assembled and carried the unconscious man into the residence of Wm. Reprogle near by. He had been kicked just over the eye and his skall was fractured. In two hours he suddenly regained consciousness and told who he was. Dr. G. W. Benetiel, the brother-in-law of John L. Davis, was accordingly summoned and upon the urgent request of Mr. Parks took him out to the Davis farm in his buggy.

Mr. Parks walked to the buggy uaapsisted and clambered in. When he reached home he got out and went to that part of the Davis mansion in which he lived with hiB wife and three children. He asked where he could lay down and upon his wife preparing a place he stretched himself out and was uncrnscions again in ten minutes. Dr. Beatty, of New Market, was called in but was unable to do anything for his patient. He grew rapidly worse until death ended his suffering at 11 o'clock at night. The deceased was thirtythree years of age and a hard working, repectable man. The funeral occured Tuesday, with the interment at his old home near Lebanon.

Decision Affecting School Funds, Judge Brown, of the Marion County Circuit Court, yesterday held that the act of the last Legislature requiring township trustees to pay over to the State Treasurer the unexpended balance of the income of the State school fund apportionment is unconstitutional. It is estimated by the State Superintendent that over $500,000 is affected by the decision of Judge Brown. This money, he says, is a trust fund paid out' of the State Treasury by the township biiity. trustees. Into their hands also goes local levies and other school funds. It has has been the practice of some of the officials to expend an amount equal to that turned in to them by the State, and say that it was the State's money which had been expended. The other

The State authorities want this school money prorated among the children of the commonwealth for educational purposes, but the trustees say that they cannot distinguish the State from the other funds. The Attorney General is to recaive 12 per cent, of the money which is returned from the truetees to the Treasury. The effect of Judge Brown's ruling, the ?tate Superintendent Bays, will be a reduction in the rate of levy. At the present time more money is paid out for this purpose by the State than the corporations can expend. Another effect will be to increase the burdens in the poorer districts.

largely developed. Nevertheless the following editorial from the current number of Harper's Weekly will be of interest to all who admire honest sport and especially those who deplore the growth of the illegitimate features of football:

The average college football player, through no fault of his own, but rather from his youth, with its untrained judgment, fails to grasp the fact that by showing lack of self control he lowers the standard which education is supposed to give him, ana places himself on a level with the uneducated brute who for the sake of a few dollars would knock another human being down. In his desire to win the applause of a certain class of spectators who applaud brutality, in his zeal to win the game by any means, in his readiness to resent some supposed or real affront, he so loses control of himself that he performs some deed of violence which in after years, as he thinks it over, will bring a blush of shame to his face.

Looking over the reports of the games there is scarcely one to be found which does not contain, either in the rulings of the umpire or the running account of the game, some evidence of foul play Why does this sort of thing continue? The college representatives have legislated upon it. They have drawn up a set of rules, and they have said that a man shall be chosen to see that these rules are obeyed. But one man cannot watch twenty-two. One pair of eyes cannot follow the game, and at the same time observe the hidden unsportsmanlike blows, the wicked digs and cruel tactics on the part of unrestrained youths who represent some institution of learning. To whom, then, muBt we turn for help against this evil, which

Each and every college has its corps of instructors, and upon them rests the responsibility.

Professors, instructors, gentlemen, you have delayed too long in doing your duty. "ou have shirked the responsi-

Ooeaeionally you have stopped

I this game or that, kept your boys from what was theirs by right, and posed before the American public as antagonists of healty sport. Instead of seeking by proper means to control, first, the kind I of men who should try to play secondly, the way the game should be played,

he intended, yon will seize the opportunity to say, "No more football." But the responsibility of that man's death will rest upon you. You have, and have had, the power to make football what it should be, a clean, healthy, open-' handed game. You are responsible for the character of the men who represent your college or university. If it is beneath your dignity to leave your study, mingle with your young men, and teach them that manliness is, then far better would it be that you give Jyour vote on the governing board to some one who has an appreciation of boyish spirits, and the requisite tact to deal with and control them.

Thus far you have shown a lamentable lack of ability and courage to deal with theBe questions. You have aimed your blows at the game, and have flattered yourselves that if that were stopped all would be well. But if it is not football, it will be something else. Yon cannot longer shift the responsibility of coming into closer contact with your etu Jents, finding out the sort of men they are, and whether they belong with you or not. You must enter more closely into their sports, tell them firmly but kindly what will be allowed, and what will not. Teach them self control, honorable dealing, and manliness under all circumstances. If you have not the time for such things, then have some one appointed whose duty it shall be to be present at the different contests' and' not only be present, but also have the authority and courage to say to your students, "Boys, either control yourselves or leave the field," A little plain-speaking, a few teams disqualified —the members expelled from college if necessary—and we would seldom have such an exhibition as was Been at Manheim on November 4.

The evil mast be stamped out. The cry has bden, "Stop the game!" It is the cowardly cry of those who have the power but not the courage to deal with what is their duty to attend to.

There were about thirty persons present all in sympathy with the new movement and the business was quickly transacted. Capt. R. E. Bryant occupied the chair and John L. Goben was secretary.

severely threatens the existence of a game which should stand pre eminent among sports as a developer of men, and as a fitting school for nfter life? Who is responsible for the class of men to be found in any college? Who is responsible for the way in which these young men are brought up, and given their ideas on manly conduct?

The trustees met again Thursday evening to consider the seleotion of a general secretary and other details of the work. The meeting was a most successful one in every way and if the spirit manifested Tuesday continues there is no doubt that great good will be accomplished. The objects of the organization as stated in the constitution are as follows: 1st—To see that all deserving eases of destitution are properly relieved. ^d—To prevent, Indiscriminate and duplicate giving.

Hd—To make employment the basis of roller, 4th— To secure the community from Impostures. 5th—To reduce vagrancy and pauperism and ascertain their true case.

Gili—To prevent children from growing up paupers or becoming vicious.

Their Political Predictions, To relieve the tedious waits between the examination of witnesses yesterday afternoon, the federal grand jury resort ed to a novel plan by which the political sentiment of each member will be revealed. Foreman Talbott suggested that each man cast his vote for a choice of presidential material for the cam paign of 1896. The foreman, at all times Bn eloquent and pleasant talker, explained that he hoped no member of the jury would resort to the scheme of electioneering or vote buying, but that each would cast his ballot in acaccordance with his honest political belief. Of the twenty-three members of the jury all voted but, one, with the following result: Mclvinley, 9 Vest, 1 Davis, 1 Cleveland, 1, Hill, 4 Palmer, 1 VoorheeB, 1 Gresham, Indianapolis Journal.

Important Suit Piled.

A very important law suit oomes to Tippecanoe Superior court on change of venue from Montgomery county. The title of the case is Dan W. Simms, surviving partner of the firm of Dochterman & Simms, vs. John W. Birdsell, et al. Dochterman & Simms were lawyers in Covington, Fountain county, and a year or two ago were retained as representatives in a big land suit brought against Birdsell, eii al. The suit involved about $00,000 and the lawyers were to receive $15,000. The case was finished last January, the case being won for Birdsell, et al., greatly to their benefit. The lawyers' fee, he claims, has not been paid to Mr. Simms, the surviving partner, Mr. Dochterman having died last March. He therefore brought suit for $15,000 against his clients. It is a very important case. Mr. Simms is represented by Lucas, Nebeker, Brush & Snyder.—Lafayette Courier.

Judgment Taken.

There were several suits came up in the circuit court Tuesday against Wm. II. Durham, Frank Nelson and J. F. Darnall, the endorsers of the Muncie Nail Company. The suits were allowed by the defendants to go by default, and judgment was accordingly rendered in favor of James F. Sprankle for $10,392, in favor of Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing Company fot $781, and in favor of Wm. A. Rogers for $4,25-1

THE VANISHING CITY.

The Work of Sacrilege Goes On- Consolation in the Lesson Learned,

To the Kditor the Crawfordsville Journal. CHIOAUO, Nov. 20, 1893.--The White City is vanishing and but one sentiment obtains, that of deepest regret. The destruction of the most beautiful city that ever graced the face of the earth is a tragio event. The same decree that called it into being sealed its doom. It must go. The pavements about the buildings have been removed and the streets are covered with litter and are cut up by the hundreds of heavy wagons that carry away tons and tons of exhibits, and railroad tracks are laid through the grounds to all the large buildings. On every hand are evidences of haste to ilee from and abandon tlr doomed city. The question now is, not so much what a building may be sold for, but how cheaply it can be gotten rid of. What a wealth of architectural grandeur counts as nothing here! The scene is inexpressably sad. Certainly the destruction of Pompeii was not more sorrowful, for that was the act of Providence, while this is the work of man.

There is consolation in the thought that the lessons learned here by the millions of people who came, are being carried to all quarters of the world to be taught and retaught through generations to come, thus perpetuating all that was good in the exposition and making it benediction to the race through indefinite years. While the very hands that builded these grand structures are now engaged in tearing them down, the remotest parts of the globe are being enlightened by the teachings here inculcated. Men and women in all parts of the world are being made broader, grander and better. The narrow-mind-ednesn of place and of bigotry will disappear like the mist before the morning sun as the great lessons of the White City are spread broad heralding the fatherhood of God, the fraternity of Nations and the brotherhood of man. The epochs of the divine plan are measured bv infinite yeare. Who knows but this event is the grey dawning of the millenium? Its teachings point to that conclusion. Nations were never

nearly together. Sentiments were never so harmonious. The one God was never so universally recognize This great university of a six month's term has done more to enlighten, educate, fraternize and harmonize the world than has been accomplished by all other agencies for yeare. The White City will go, but it will go out in a blaze of glory, and its beneficent influences will live forever. TJIAVIB,......
