ARE YOU GOING TO

Build Fcncc This Spring?

Or any other Spring for that matter. If you are, The "Practical" Fence, built with a Practical Fence Machine in a practical manner, is what jou must have.

The •'Practical is a woven-picket fence made by yourself right were yon use it, with a little machine weighing- less than live pounds. It requires so few heavy posts that you won't believe it till you see it. Each 'panel is held off the ground taut and stiff by our patent truss-wire support. This support alone is worth the entire cost. You can't, have a good wire fence without it, even an old barbed wire fence is made of

double value by it. Our •'Practical'" Fence Machine will take out and replace pickets in any woven fence. With it you can cut the fence and after driving through make your fence as good as ever. Yon can't do that with anything else.

Our "Practical Brace for end posts you want for anv kind of a wire fence. A section of this fence may be seen at the Marble Yard of .1. W. Howard, corner of Green and Market streets.

When you see it you will remember that this was the only fence shown at last year's fair that was worth looking at.

nightly Meeting.

There was a long and interesting, session of the Council last Monday, all the members and officers being present except Treasurer Nicholson, who remained at his otlice to receive belated tax-payers.

As was expected the water works question came up for a good deal of discussion. Mr. Myers reported the interview of the committee with the owners of the plant at Chicago, substantially what has appeared in the papers and* ended by saying that he was coniident the company would not afford satisfactory relief. He pronounced himself emphatically in favor of granting a franchise to the new company. Mr. Reynolds made an exhaustive speech on the subject looking at the matter from all sides. He knew that many people were stealing from the company and that they were being imposed on in various ways. At the same tinie he had no sympathy with them in their method cf getting even, lie was inclined to favor the sprinkling 01 the streets by contract and wanted the Council to encourage the company being formed to do the work at SI a month for 50 feet front. He also figured out very plainly that it would be economy for the city to buy the plant now at 8100,000, but as a matter of fact he was satisfied it could be bought for considerably less. The company was ready to sell without waiting for the ten years to expire which would be nearly two years hence. He moved that a committee be appointed to find out cxactly what the plant can be bought for. The motion was carried unanimously and the Mayor appointed Reynolds, Myers and Vanarsdall.

The secretary of the Board of Health, Dr. Leech, reported that he had enjoyed a profitable meeting of the secretaries of health boards at Indianapolis and gained many valuable point ers on sanitation. Among other things he learned that the small pox outbreak at Muncie cost that city $25,000 outside the loss to business and the loss of life. The economy of preventive measures is thus clearly seen. He reported that he had found it impossible to clean up the alleys, owing to the small force at the disposal of the the street Commissioner. The alleys are extremely filthy and he urged that a sufficient force be employed to clean them. He also suggested a public scavenger for the purpose of collecting slops that would otherwise be thrown in alleys and gutters by people who live upstairs in business blocks and have no yards. Some grocers slaughtered chickens in their stores and left the cleanings in alleys, which ought not to be allowed. He also touched up the livery stables again. The Doctor's report created a great deal of discussion, in which the livery stables and property owners who do not furnish their tenants with means to dispose of their slops, etc., got the worst of it. The Marshal was ordered to give such persons five days' notice and if they don't clean up then, to have a few of them fined.

Attorney Whittington reported the case of Henry Clements against C. M. Crawford in regard to the brick- alley next to the stone front would be in court this week.

A,

Engineer Waugh reported that the embankment necessary to open Chestnut street from Elm to Plum would take ,81)4.S cubic yards of dirt, costing §37i5. Theextention of the viaduct over Dry Branch at the intersection of Plum would cost §2.250 but that a bridge with a 24-foot roadway could be built for SHOO.

Mr. Vanarsdall suggested that the policeman of Goose Nibble district wake up. He thought there were too many fights -up there. The council seemed to be of the same opinion and a meeting of the Police Board was called for Tuesday evening.

The Committee on Petitions and Overtures to whom was referred the petition that the electric light plant be increased reported without recommendation. The report was laid on the table.

A trough will be placed at Lafayette avenue on Market street. The Monon railroad asked the city to donate 8300 for advertising the town in its new book. The matter was referred to the committee on printing.

The sidewalk ordered on Fremont street was changed from five feet to four feet.

The Vance street opening was brought up but cannot lie finally disposed of until next meeting owing to legal complications.

An interesting discussion of the sewerage question was precipitated upo the resolution for the sewer down the

CRAWFQKDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1894—TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

alley by the city building. Mr. Vanarsdall said it was plain that we would have to enter upon a general system of sewer.iire sooner or later and he was opposed to taxing the property owners now for this sewer when it would have to be done all over again as soon as the system is built. It was not right to assess them for a temporary benefit. Mr. Smith as one of the property owners, spoke in favor of the sewer, acknowledging that it was a "makeshift" as TIIK JOURNAL called it. but said the people along the alley were anxious to have it anyway and would be -ready to be taxed again when the general system should be put in. Upon this representation the resolution carried 4 to 2, Vanarsdall and Robinson voting no. The sewer is to be of 12 inch pipe and will cost 882S.

The matter of opening Chestnut street bobbed up serenely as usual and occupied a great deal of time. The general feeling was in favor of opening the street clear to Mill and extending Ilocum, Plum and Short streets south to the city limits, thus opening up a large number of moderate priced building lots. This will probably be done at the next meeting.

Mr. Smith reported that no conclusion had been reached regarding the new school house but it was the opinion of the committee that the location should be further east. He thought it would be wise to hold oft' until it was known whether the city would buy the water plant. Mr. Campbell said the Willson building could be enlarged two rooms for 81,200 which would provide temporary relief until the water work and other financial questions •were in better shape.

Election inspectors were appointed as follows: First ward—first precinct, L. A. Foote: second precinct, R. E. Bryant third precinct, I. N. VanSickle fourth precinct, J. J. Insley.

Second ward—First precinct, A. IT. Braden second precinct. Robert Ross. Third ward—First precinct, W. C. Carr: second precinct, T. H. B. McCain: third precinct, M. M. Nye: fourth precinct, 11. C. Smith.

MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT.

The Wire Venee Company Decides Double the Capacity of Its l'laiit.

Last Monday the Indiana Wire Fence Company held a meeting at its south Green street office and decided to materially increase the capacity of its plant. The old storage house will be torn down at once and in its place will^be erected a single story brick ware house 140 by 127 feet. The most important addition to the plant, however, will be the erection of a two story brick building 5(i by (53 feet, which will be for a number of new machines which will be put in as soon as the building is ready to receive them. The company is now running over twenty wire machines and the addition will double the capacity. The company's enterprise will result in great good to the town as it will give employment to about twenty-five or thirty heads of families more than the company is at present employing.

Hound Over.

Lafayette ('all: The father of Miss Ida Erkenbright, the young lady charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses, arrived in the city yesterday morning and became bail for her appearance in police court this morning, and she accompanied him home. Her parents are most respectable people, and were much pained to learn of their daughter's -erratic ways. She has a brother and sister who are school teachers, and the girl herself is well' educated and refined. She was arraigned in court this morning at 1) clock, and was bound over in the sum of §200 to answer to the circuit court. Every dollar of the amount the girl had gained by false pretences was repaid by her father, and she will not be prosecuted by her victims. Sht is held only on a technicality, and when the case comes up, if it ever does, it will probably be nolle prossed. It was learned this morning that on Cnristmas eve last she procured a pair of men's slippers from Frank A. Lewis, representing herself as a niece of George P. Haywood.

Death of itn Old UeHideiit.

Mrs. Rebecca ilalstead died at her home in Linden Tuesday a.m. at 12:30, after an illness of three weeks, consisting of lung and stomach trouble. She was 80 years of age and for fifty years had been a resident of Madison township. Her husband, Joseph P. Halstead, died forty-five years ago. She was a member of the Methodist church and highly respected. Her estate consists of 300 acres of land besides money and personal property. The funeral occurred Wednesday at half past ten o'clock.

Darnell, of Lebanon, presided and decidedly interesting and instructive papers were read by Mrs. W. S. Motl'ett and Mrs. Lee Townsley, of Oxford. These excellent papers were followed by able discussions. Rev. Howe and Rev. Murray, of Ladoga, led the discussion of the question "Mow can I interest the Juniors?" and the question was very ably discussed. In the evening Mrs. Darnall conducted the opening exercises and an able sermon was preached by Rev. 13. T. Lane, of Lebanon.

After devotional exercises Wednesday business was resumed and in connection with the report of the committee on resolutions a very interesting subject arose. It appears that Prof. Garvin, of the theological department in Butler University, has been disseminating teaching at variance with the doctrines of the church. In the committee's report occurred the following:

The committee on resolutions relative to certain false teachings that are being taught in our churches beg leave to submit the following report:

Jtcxolval, That it is the judgment of this convention that the churches of this district should reject all teachers who teach any or all of the following doctrines: (1) Repentance before faith in the salvation of sinners (2) Baptism of Holy Ghost and fire as taking place now (3) Judaism as being the religion of humanity, and Christianity as onlv

a new spirit put into it, (4) and that the death of Christ had no more to do with the salvation of men than that of any other good man, (5) and that the Gospel of Christ is only/j power among other powers in the salvation of niai" {cm lira

I, That this resolution be pub­

lished in all our religious papers. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. W. H. KKRR,

O. 10. KKI.LKY H. A. TRITT, Committee.

This clause elicited

the district arose and denounced Prof. Garvin and his teachings as false. The. resolution was passed by a uniinimous rising vote. A pet ition asking Garvin to resign was signed by all to whom it was presented.

The Wedding Hook.

Among the large number of beautiful wedding gifts received by one of the recent brides here was a very handsome copy of the recently issued Wedding Book, which is proving such a source of satisfaction to brides in general. This particular copy—about 18 by 12 inches in size—is bound in white watered silk, with a wide margin of white kid embellished with orange blossoms in gold. Within the covers is a particular page for a bit of the wedding gown, the travelling gown, other gowns of the trousseau, lists of presents, congratulatory notes and telegrams, press notices, etc. The. traveling gown page is suitably engraved in the lower corner with a coach, old shoes and a trunk. Across the toj) is the couplet:

Here Is the gown she wore away, So hi iglit and gu on her wedding day. The first page is headed thus: This is the gown In w/ilch she stood When she wont to the priest and said she would.

The lower edge of the cover bears the well-known bridal axiom: Something old, something new.

Something borrowed, something blue.
