of
James E. Dunn was born May 7, 1817. When a small boy his parents came here and he lived with them until his twenty-first year, when he begun life for himself as clerk forBeasley & Odell, at which place he remained four years. lie was then engaged in various enterprises for some years. His next step was that of a civil engineer, in which capacity he assisted in surveying the Lafayette & Indianapolis railroad. November 22, 1849, he was married to Matilda Burbridge, daughter of Judge William Burbridge, who emigrated from Kentucky to Montgomery county in 1823. They were the parents of six children: Emma E., who is married to Charles Gerard Wm. A., at present in California Samuel L., Fannie M. Walter G., deceased, and George G. After his marriage he was engaged as cleric two years in Sperry's mill, and after another year in the city commenced farming one and a half miles south of Crawfordsville. He moved upon his farm in 1855, and in the fall of 1858 sold it and returned to the city, where he
he moved to Thorntown, where he clerked in the hardware store of R. M. Lafollette one and a half years, at the expiration of which time he moved 10 Crawfordsville, and there kept house until the death of his father. November 10, 1877, he moved to his late home of eighty-three acres, a fine farm and well improved. lie was a participant in the chase after Morgan in 1803, and firm believer in the doctrine as advocated and sustained by the Republican party, casting his first presidential vote for Gen. Harrison in 1840.

The decision of the Supreme Court regarding at least one feature of the fee and salary law is the topic of the hour in the court house. The offices governed by the law are those of the auditor, sheriff, clerk and treasurer. The decision while it names only to the sheriff applies as well to clerk and is threatening to the other three. All of the officers were sore except treasurer llutton. who said: '-The fee and salary law really didn't affect my office. The salary is $2,500 and that is about as good as the $800 with fees formerly was."
squeezed to death in the machinery at. While they were absent Williams barred Crabbs & Reyolds' elevator, to Mrs. Wm. Rakestraw, who was whipped by her husband Saturday night, the she Rakestraws have always suffered tribulations. When little girls they invariably fell into soft soap barrels or open sewers and as women they tumble into pitfalls or the clutches of brutes. Mrs. Wm. Rakestraw has been no exception. Her way of life has been as rough as a corduroy road and William has been the obstinate old mule who galloped over its rough surface between the shafts of a springless cart. Saturday night William made another furious assault upon his wife and endeavored to place her beyond the reach of human help or harm. Mrs. Rakestraw resented his intentions by discharging the cooking utensils at his head with deadly aim and attracted by the noise of the feud the entireoaristocracy of the north end gathered about and volunteered to suggest strategic movements to the opposing forces. The pleasant diversion was ended by the timely appearance of the police who were seriously bent on caging Willie. he was fined $5 and costs.
Said Auditor Goben: "I was elected before the new law went into effect so you see it doesn't affect me but the de cision is unjust. My successor will receive $2,800 salary and out of this he will have to employ two clerks con stantly and three part of the time, lie will have little left for himself."
Recorker Munliall said: "I am still working under the old law and await a decision regarding this office. The decision regarding the sheriff does not affect any other offi'-e but the clerk's. The decision states that the sheriff and clerk being under the court are judicial officers while we others are county

satisfied that it will be de-

The framer of the law left Shelby county out when he put the law through, so that being an unjust discrimination in favor of her county officers certainly invalidates the whole thing. JI they should hold us under the new law this office wouldn't be worth shucks. The salary is only SI,500 and out of this I would have to employ two deputies."
Clerk Sparks was evidently annoyed. "While the decision is not made in this office it applies to it as a judicial officer with the sheriff. The salary is 82,600 and the work necessitates the
the time. The office was a good one under the old law, but is not much under the fee and salary law. However, the thing isn't over yet."
Sheriff Davis was cheerful under the circumstances. "My salary is $2,250 and I have to employ so many deputies that I shall make only about 8400 a year out of the office. However, I am satisfied that the Supreme Court will grant a rehearing and that we will come out all right in the end. The thing isn't right and consequently can't stand."
Tale of Two Tougha.
A day or so ago the jail doors yawned and Williard Boots, the blanket thief, walked forth a free man followed by the beneficent blessing "Go and sin no more" from the lips of Sheriff Davis. Willard, however, soon allied himself to that noble young patrician, Harry Moran, whose youthful beauty was slightly marred about three years ago
men
last Thursday descended upon the Monon station. Jesse Williams, the
night operator, was in charge and they obliged him to jump about like a grasshopper dodging clubs, stones and chunks of railroad iron. Finally they stepped on the outside to quench their thirst at a beer joint over the way,
the door and telephoned for the police. Willard heard the frantic tinkling of the bell as he paused to wipe the foaming from his chin, and taking the cue went sliating off toward the Black Hills. Master Moran, however, marched up to the door and began banging away on it with a good stout club much to the discomforture of Mr. Williams who expected every minute to see the burly Willard come plunging through in quest of gore. When matters were most interesting Officer Gill appeared and having tucked little Harry under his arm requested admittance in the name of the law. The rage of Williams upon disceveri ng that he had been beseiged by a child was awful to behold. Master .Moran is now in jail for disturbing the peace and dignity of the State.
Deailt of Mrs. Samuel Snydor. Mrs. Samuel Snyder died Saturday in Tennessee where she went several weeks ago for her health. ILer body in charge of her husband arrived here Monday afternoon and was taken to the
This morning family home, two miles northwest of the city. The funeral occurred Tuesday at 11 o'clock conducted by Rev. T.
U. Hamilton, at Mt. Zion. The friends of Mrs. Snyder will be pained to learn of her untimely death.

Most men when they feel mean feel natural. The boy who never learns to play cards will never be a gambler.
The young people have quit dancing over at lvirkpatriek. At the last dance they had a young man was taken sick and soon died.
Dignity is the starch of the shroud. The more dignity a man has the nearer dead he is. The man who gets into his coffin is very dignified.
We heard one man ask another, "What business a married man had to be a member of the Lotus club, as his place was at home with his wife sit night and with his business in the day-time?"
A boy was carrying a banner on the street the other afternoon inscribed with: "Come to the dunce /o-ji/y/i/.." Those who would attend a promiscuous bar room dance, under such an invitation, probably got their start in the parlor dance.
A man excused himself from soeiety the other evening at 8 o'clock on accounty of the severe illness of his daughter, and then went direct to the Lotus club and remained there till 12 o'clock. Of course the Lotus club has no attractions to draw a man from his duty. Reported by an eyewitness.
A Patrician Roost.
Another delightful little episode has occurred to make life happy in the block on the corner of Pike and Washington streets. The second floor has ever been occupied by a very shady lot and when Henry Brown, the colored barber leased a roost there he did not know it was in good form to chain a fierce bulldog to every article left there while he was absent scraping chins and slashing off ears in merry abandon. Henry was as innocent as a pretty little wild flower, but when he came home Saturday night and found all his clothes gone he was aroused. He took a razor and went through the adjacent apartments like Attila the Hun on a gore hunt. He stirred the natives up mightily and learned that John Davis had been in his room. Then with Officer Grimes he descended on the residence of Davis and recovered the stolen property. Davis, who is a well known colored plasterer, was ruthlessly cast into the lockup and presented with a ticket which entitled him to a chance in the grand penitentiary raffle to come off this term of court.
Our Mayor a Woman Suffragist. A copy of the Pleasanton, Kansas, Herald, has reached us which reveals the fact that Mayor Bandel is an ardent woman suffragist. Pleasanton recently elected a woman as mayor, Mrs. Anna Austin, and the Hera,Id con tains a letter of congratulation to her from Mayor Bandel which was read on the occasion of her installation. It is as follows:
CRAWFORDBVILLK, Ind., Jan. 18, 1894 MRS. ANNA AUSTIN, Pleasanton, Kan., DEAR MADAM:—Will you accept my hearty congratulations on your success. I am an admirer of woman's rights. I think our American women can vote with more intelligence than two-thir€ls, of our men who are voters to-day. There is a large element who control the elections in our cities who have no American ideas about- them Therefore, in my opinion, we need the help of the women in this country. Wishing you and yours all the success possible I am respectfully yours,

Suing For Damages.
The suit of Thomas W. Sutton, administrator of the estate of William Ilutcliings, deceased, against Montgomery county, is on trial in the circuit court, Judge W. P. Britton presiding. Ilutcliings was killed by his team going over an unguarded bridge one night as Ilutcliings was driving home from Darlington. The amount of damage sought is the statutory limit of SI0.000.

Miss Pauline Russell, of Wavelaiul, has composed two anthems of unusual merit which will probably be sung by Center church choir some time in the near future. Miss Russell has always been recognized as a musician and performer of much ability but this is her first attempt at composition.

The union temperance meeting at

Methodist church Sunday evening wtttt certainly a decided success in the point of numbers present aiul doubtless i* the matter of good accomplished tn well. It is safe to say that so large a». audience was never packed into the church before. Every available spot was occupied and people, patiently stood up around the walls during the prolonged service of over two hour*. The church was crowded to its utmoftt. capacity and many were turned away-
The first speaker was Rev. R. S. lnglis, who elucidated regarding the liquor laws of Indiana and made some very salient and spicy comment regarding the condition of affairs in Crawfordsville.
Mr. Inglis was followed by Rev. (T. P. Fuson, who went one better and declared that not only should the liquor laws be lived up to but the Sunday law as well. The opening of any business house is illegal on that day and Mr. Fuson held that the community would be bettered by the enforcement of this law.
Rev. W. J. Howe made a stirringtemperance address and believed that the County Commissioners should hav% the backbone to refuse all applications' for liquor license. They do that way in Hendricks county and the community stays with them.
Rev. Tucker believed in the savingpower of local option. This is what is required, he believes, to accomplish
what is needed for the wrongs need amending and the rights need defending.
