WHO THEY ARE.

In response to a request for an interview Monday morning Mr. Ostrom. the evangelist, whose work closed' here Monday, said: "So you want to write me up. Well, the very best write-up you can give me will be to print an extended report of Saturday's and Sunday's meetings, and to mention the cordiality of the Gregg family, at whose residence I have roomed and of the new Nutt Hotel people, where I have taken meals, also the tender sympathy of the people of Crawfordsville with me on account of the serious illness of my little girl and the decease of my sister in Brooklyn, N. Y."

The facts of Mr. Ostrom's brief life of thirty-two years were obtained from his co-laborer, Mr. Maxwell. Henry was the youngest of a family of eleven children and the only son. His father was a distinguished lawyer and at one time very wealthy, but before his death met with financial reverses. At the age of sixteen Mr. Ostrom was left to battle with the world for himself. Although his parents were originally from Is'ew York, they later moved to Canada, where Henry was born. Consequently it was necessary for him to take out naturalization papers in order to become an American citizen. At the

&

1 2

age of eighteen he began to preach, at the same time teaching in the public schools. Eight years ago he received a call to the Trinity Methodist church in Milwaukee at a salary of $2,000 a year. Mr. Ostrom's parents were Presbyterians. Just a year ago li. Fay Mills conducted a big revival at Milwaukee. and at that time he felt called to enter the evangelistic worl. Mr. Mills advised him to do it, as did also Bishop Joyce and at the following conference he was released from his connections with that body. In the meantime his church did all they could to have him remain and offered him a salary of S3,800. In September last he began his work and has since conducted very successful meetings at Madison, Elkliorn, Edgerton and Nenali. Wis.. Lafayette, Ind.. and other places. He will be at Havana, 111., next week and from there returns to Milwaukee to conduct a revival at one of the large churches. Mr. Ostrom has a wife and two children who live in Milwaukee. He has a reputation there as a ready after-dinner speaker, and as a lecturer he has also been in great demand. His favorite lecture is called. "The Romance of Manhood.

On December 15tli he was joined at Madison by Harry Maxwell, one of our fellow citizens whose wonderful tenor voice has made him well known throughout a large part of the country. Mr. Maxwell's voice was discovered at DePauw where he attended college for six years at different times, taking instruction part of the time in the DePauw School of Music. A year ago last .January he studied in the Chicago

Conservatory under 15. Bichnell Young, at the same time leading the music in Dr. Swift's church and in the Erie Chapel Mission where Dr. Withrow has charge of 1000 children. He traveled for over a year with the DePauw Quartette and for six months with the Schuman Quartette and while in Chicago sang with the Linden Male Quartette. Last September Mr. Maxwell started out with the Alba Heywood company as leader of the Edge wood Quartette and for a time took apart in the play, but he threw up the engagement at the end of a month to engage in evangelistic singing, which is more to his taste than the show business. He has sung with evangelists S. A. Keen, and II. A. Brown, and upon leaving the Heywood company joined Dr. Chapman at St. Louis. After that lie was with B. Fay Mills a week at Ann Arbor and then joined Mr. Ostrom. Mr. Maxwell was born and raised near Crawfordsville where everybody is his friend and all rejoice

in his continued successes. He is 2S years ol age. In ISSii Kev. •William Warren ami Kev. Aaron Wood were conducting a revival and Harry, while singing in the choir, was converted. Since that time he has been active in the Christian work.

The Kentnel ian Citizen of Paris, I\y., announces that Robert.J. Shannon of that place was gloriously married there by a 'Squire Thursday night, March 22, to Mrs. Elizabeth Nossett, of Crawfordsville, lnd. Surely the Keutnekiini has told a great big lie. Mrs. Nossett says she went there merely to look for a locatiou for a millinery store and never once thought of rude men. Why papers will persist in declaring ladies married, who are not, and thus blighting their hopes we fail to see. Perhaps Mrs. Nossett can explain in this instance. The following is the exact language of the Kcntucklan Citizen under the head of "Marriages:"

Shannon-Nossett. In this city, Thursday night, Robert J. Shannon, of this city, to Mrs. Elizabeth Nossett, of Crawfordsville, Ind., Squire Selby Lilleston officiating.

Killing of tlie Last Buffalo in Indiana. The Wabash Plain Dealer has given an account of the killing of the last buffalo, running wild, in Indiana. This was over forty years ago and occurred at a point between the present towns of Huntington and Wabash. The story is as follows: "A young Miami Indian who had never seen a buffalo, was riding along on his pony one day when he noticed a huge animal the like of which he had never seen before! At first he was inclined to be scared, but as the animal moved slowly, he took courage and fired at it with his gun, and after several shots succeeded in bringing it down. He looked in amagement and wonder, not knowing what it was until he brought some other Indians who pronounced it an old buffalo."

For County Surveyor.

Harvey E. Wynekoop announces in to-dajr's JOUKXAI. that he will be a candidate for the office of county Surveyor, subject to the decision of the Republican convention of June 2. Mr. Wynekoop is in the Senior class of Wabash college, has made engineering a specialty during his entire collegiate course and is thoroughly prepared to fill the duties of the office. He has done considerable work over the county and feels sure of success should he receive the nomination, since he has not only many good friends over the county but a host of student friends who would gladly give their aid to a fellow student.

All in a Life Time.

Hicks now comes along and says to "look out for storms during April." This will cause some people to repent of their sins every time a black cloud comes along or cyclone wings. It has almost come to pass when we lay down to rest at night that there is a possibility when morning breaks to iind ourselves having been wafted away to the prairies of Kansas, or lodged upon a mountain top in Pennsylvania. There are people in the city now who hide beneath feather beds every time a storm arises, as they can't tell from whence the storm comes nor whither they may go.

To l»i Divided IntoT.ots.

The Mrs. S. S. Thomson homestead, situated between Washington and Walnut streets, south of the liig Four railroad, is to be divided into lots and placed upon the market. The house will be removed to one corner of the premises and the entire tract will make very desirable building lots. This place is one of the land marks of this city and has always the appearance of a delightfully situated home.

l*ai! the J,ifc Innuruiu'e.

*\t the time of the death of E. W. Leech he was carrying a policy in the Prudential Insurance Company, of Newark, N. .J. This is a company in which the policy holders pay for their life insurance upon the weekly installment plan. Mr. Leech was also carrying the sick benefit part. On Thursday the entire sum due was paid, the deceased at the time of his death having carried the policy just fourteen weeks.

After a llunk.

Saturday in the circuit, court L. J. Coppage filed a complaint against Wilbur Hank, and asking that he be disbarred. Coppage alleges that 11 auk is guilty of misconduct in a law suit, which he has kept going for personal aims. The petition asks that the court appoint a committee to investigate the matter. The court has taken the case under advisement, before further action is taken.

The township assessors of Montgomery county met in the grand jury room Saturday for the purpose of establishing uniform rates of assessment. Clias. Elmore, County Assessor, submitted the report of the State Hoard on rates also, the new blank for the statement of persons claiming indebtedness, both of which were adopted and .'1,000 of the latter ordered for use here. Persons claiming bona fide indebtedness are required to fill these blanks and in case of false statements will be liable for forgery. All assessors will suffer a penalty of &50 tine for omitting any of the list questions, and all oaths must be administered in full. The following schedule of prices was adopted: Heavy draft stallions, class A...K 500 to 700

County papers requested to copy (jive the assessor respectful attention when they call as they have added burdens this year, including the listing of all soldiers, sailors, their orphans, widows, etc. "What a magnificent epitaph would it be to carve on the marble shaft to be seen and read of men. ""Here lies the body of T. .! an upright citizen and Christian gentleman, who honestly scheduled his property to the assessor and always paid his taxes. The spirit of Diogenes might extinguish his lantern, for the honest man would be found."'—Capt. Allen, President State Itoard Tax Commissioners.

Many of the assessors thought the prices should be '.t'.ihi per cent, lower this year, but have no option as the schedule was made by State Board.

The tax law will be enforced this year and the delinquents will be dealt with summarily.

Think twice before you make, a false statement of your assessable property! "The way of the transgressor," etc.

CoutoH College New*.

A special from Terre Haute says an effort is to be made to raise §45,000 to pay the debt of Coates College, "to keep it from being moved to Crawfordsville." They expect to get $10,OOOfroin the Chicago Presbytery. From this it would seem that there is still a probability of the location of the college being changed.

'0 ioo«l on the I'nl iii.

The following from the Lebanon I'iiDieer concerns T. II. 11. McCain, whose absence in Missouri allows t,hv matter to enter these columns nil-: changed:

John J. C.iohlsberry, foreman of the last grand jury, has been a citizen of Washington township from away back in the county's early days, and he has stored up in his ineinony a lot of interesting reminiscences, which he delights to relate to his friends when in the city.

Mr. Goldsberry claims some credit for the success of Editor T. II. B. McCain, of TiiKCHAWKounsvu.i.K.louKNAi,, in the journalistic world. "Bent's father,"said Uncle John, "lived adjoining my farm. Bent was an unusually bright boy, but he wasn't worth his salt on the farm. He showed early in life an inclination to engage in the newspaper work, and while attending the neighborhood school he collected the neighborhood news and wrote out a weekly paper. He came to me one day, I think in 18.18, and expressed a desire to get into a printing office. 1 promised to see George Buckingham, editor of the Pioneer, with whom I enjoyed an intimate acquaintance. Mr. Buckingham said he was in need of a "little devil," and Bent was installed as such, llis progress was marvelously rapid and he soon become Buckingham's right hand man, not only in the office, but as a trusted messenger on important political missions. Bent was a good fellow, and his success in life has been a great satisfaction to me."

Supreme Court Division*.

John H. Purner vs. Jane Koontz et al. 'Montgomery C. ('. Affirmed. Howard. C. J. (1) Advancements must be taken into consideration in the partition of lunds. (Sec. 1203 R. S. 1804.) (2) A verdict is good if the court can understand it, even though it may be informal. The ultimate judgment of the court in this case is absolutely correct under the issues, and shows that the court understood the verdict.

Davis et al. vs. Talbot, receiver. Montgomery C. C. Reversed. Hackney, J.—An agent to collect has only authority to receive payment, and possibly implied power to sue, but cannot bind his principal by agreements short of an actual collection. When a special agent exceeds his authority, and his act is not ratified by the principal, such act is not binding upon the principal. A party dealing with a special agent is required to know the extent of the agent's authority, and the burden is

011

the person dealing with such

agent, outside the legitimate scope of the agency, to show affirmatively the permission of or ratification by the principal.

Alas! Poor Yorlek!

The many admiring friends of Harry Temple here will read the following special from Wabash with sad-eyed interest:

Mrs. Harry Temple, No. 1, bus returned from Martin's Ferry, Ohio, whither she went to attend the trial of her artist husband for bigamy. The evidence was concluded Tuesday evening, the defense basing its case

the

legality of the marriage of Temple to the Wabash wife. After brief deliberation the jury returned a verdict, of guilty, and Temple, was remanded to jail to await the argument for a new trial. .. •. ...... ..

April \Ve»iilier.

Hicks says: April will open with temperature reacting into warmer and during the 1st to lid, storms will pass from wes-t to east. The cool to cold weather following the last storms in March, will not give way to the reactionary change to warmer until about April 2 and:!, at least that, much time being required for storm conditions to develop and travel from the points of their beginning in the west. It will be wise to anticipate hail with any well defined storm Irom this time to the end of April.

Slaughter of the Innocents.

The result of the teachers' examination held the last Saturday in February has been announced. Forty-five school teaches with bright and happy faces marched to their doom at the examination for license. There was a mighty scratching of pens and of heads, followed by the mightier inroad nf Supt. Zuuk's blue pencil. Of the forty-five only twelye came out with license, eleven for twelve months and one for six months.

Overruled the Motion.

The motion made by L. J. Coppage that the court appoint a committee to inquire into the alleged misconduct of Wilbur llouk was overruled by Judge Harney. As it stood it would make the court the prosecutor and if the matter is to be continued an affidavit must be filed.

The Cold Wave.

It looks very much as if we will have to pay much higher prices for canned goods soon as there has been killing frosts from the lakes to the gulf. One of our enterprising grocery merchants took a flying trip to Chicago this week and bought one thousand dozens of canned fruits.
