l'ulleil His Thumb Oil*.

Joe Peirce, of Wesley, Sunday evening started to lead his old brindle cow home from the pasture. She was a tame and i-espectable old bossy so Joe thoughtlessly tied the leading rope to his thumb and walked whistling down tlie road. Suddenly old Brindle threw up her tail, kicked up her heels and started off down the road on a dead run. Joe was overthrown and dragged until finally lijs thumb was literally pulled off, bone and all. The pain was very great but he is resting easily now.

T1IE CASKET COMPANY.

Miccossor to IIi lor IWiMiioss

Collin Company Kcatly OUhvrs Klirlrtl.

The formal transfer of the plant of the Crawfordsvilla Collin Company to the new Casket Company occurred last Thursday. The stockholders of the, new institution met at the otlice of the company and decided to accept the propotion of the Collin company to turn over the plant and all book accou .its for 870,000. By-laws were also adopted. The directors of the Casket Company then met and elected officers as follows:

President—W. P. llerron. Vice-President—John S. Brown. Secretary and Treasurer—M. B. Binford.

Charley Marshall has been employed as bookkeeper and Mr. Binford will act as general manager in the place of Capt. R. E. Bryant. Thus the new company starts out under most favorable auspices. They will continue to put our as handsome a line of eoilins as can be manufactured in the country, and in addition will probably in the future branch into the furniture business. The history of the cotlin factory is typical of the growth of all substantial business institutions and fully represents the progress of Crawfordsville during the past twenty-six years. In 1808 Wm. Robertson,deceased, Capt. R. E. Bryant, Paul Burns and B. F. Cox, deceased, put their brains, muscle and what little money they could muster together and under the name of Wm. Robertson «& Co., started in a small way to make coffins. They all did manual labor and had few employes. Their factory occupied the same spot where the planing mill of the company is now located. The business grew so rapidly that on May 9, 1S74, it was necessary -to increase the plant. A stock company was organized with $00,000 capital. Later it was increased to §90,000. Joseph Milligan was the first President of the Coffin

Company and remained in that position until his retirement from active affairs a few years ago. He was succeeded by Capt. llerron. Win. Robertson was manager of the factory from the beginning until his death when he was succeeded by Capt. R. E. Bryant, who had also been with the company from tlie beginning as Secretary. The factory's full force is thirty-six hands, some of whom have been with the company for ten, fifteen and twenty years. One man has been in contin uous employ for twenty-four years.

Indiana at the Fair.

The final report of B. F. Havens, Indiana World's Fair executive commissioner, has been issued. It shows that the total cost of the Indiana Building to the tax-payers was §57,102.60, the contributions making the total value S67,36S.50. The amount expended by the board of managers was §122,241.03, the per diem of the managers bein S5,430.03. Tlie balance in the hands of the treasuter is §4,788.80. The public schools of tlie State contributed §5,781.98. The total number of awards to Indiana exhibitors was 278. These were distributed to nearly every department of the Fair. About 152,000 people from this State attended the Fair who registered at tlie Indiana Building. Mr. Havens estimates tlie total number from Indiana at 300,000.

Tlie AVliittinglon Knotter Company. George W. Whittington's lcnotter, which lie has invented and patented, will be manufactured by the Whittington Knotter Company, recently organized by Mr. Whittir.gton, 0. U. Perriii and A. I). Lofland. These gentlemen certainly have a good thing and will make money. The knotter is to be applied to any self-binder and uses less twine and ties a tighter bundle than any knotter on tlie market. It is also simpler and less liable to get out of order. Tlie first complete model made of aluminum is now on exhibition in THE JOURNAL office.

tJoneft and Browne.

Ab Jones last Friday took Master Tommy Brown, the insurrectionist of the Orphans' Home, to the reform school at Plainfield where it is hoped tlie dogs will not get him. Tommy would certainly have become their meat if he had remained here in the Iloosier Athens and his departure is greatly felt at the home. Happily the feeling is one of relief.

No IMonon Station This Year. Again we are doomed to a bittci disappointment. The Monon lias decided not to build the much needed and long promised new station here this year. The officials state that their earnings are dropping off §5,000 a month and they are unable to make a move. Ladoga is having a new depot built but the material had been lying on the ground there, for two years and had to be used to prevent its rotting.

team of twirlcrs from the vine hills of Monroe county came up here to the effete civilization where nine young Wabash students stood guard over a trunkful of imagination that they could play ball. The husky people from the wilderness scratched and bit and hit and tore around the diamond in endless procession and when the curfew tolled the knell of parting day the disgusted crowd wound slowly o'er the lea contemplating the score of 29 to 3 in favor of I.

Before the curtain fell on the first act of the great nine act tragedy three of the husky people had crossed the home plate on a dog trot while the Wabash infield gave a clever exhibition of East Indian jugglery with the ball. The crowd wasn't out there to witness jugglery, 'however, and hooted its disproval. I.

U. since 1879, distinguished himself by making two home runs, which entitled him to the prize of a keg of beer offered by the merchants of Bloomington to the first member of the I. U. team performing such a feat. 1. U. put up a pretty game and insisted 011 making runs even in the tail end of the game and went off the field mad because Wabash wouldn't give her her last half inning. They wanted to make the score an even fifty. For Wabash we are constrained to draw the veil. Wliittington pitched like a barrel ol tar but no one blamed him, for his support cushioned the field with the rankest sort of errors and ran bases like soft soap. They were not up to the occasion but were very like a three dollar appetite with a fifty cent income—wholly inadequate.

He terrorized the. copperheads down about Wallace and prevented many high handed outrages. llis name was a household word and the State owes his memory a debt of gratitude hard to estimate.]

A Now Counterfeit.

The secret service of the treasury is informed of the existence of a new and dangerous counterfeit of the §2 treasury note. It is of series of 1891, check letter "B," J. Fount Tilrnan, registerer, I). N. Morgan, treasurer, with McPherson's portrait 01.1 the note. The note is a trille smaller than the genuine and is printed on soft flimsy paper. The numbering is poor, being almost brown or chocolate instead of carmine. The seal is about one-sixteenth of an inch smaller than the genuine and is a dull dark, faded red instead of bright pink as in the genuine. In the Mc-

Pherson portrait, the collar in the counterfeit shows all around in front. In the genuine the beard extends below the collar, partially hilling the small words ''Two," which appear in two places.

Death of Aunt Itetwy I'alin.

Word has been received here of the death of Aunt Betsy Palin at the home of her daughter, in Potomac, 111. Mrs. Palin was 87 years old and had lived in this and Fountain county since 1830. She has been a resident of Indiana since 1814, living in Wayne county before coming here. She was the relict of Exum Palin, who died in 1878. He was one of the first converts to the Republican party in 1850 and was noted far and wide as an abolitionist. Mrs. Palin left five living children, thirtyone grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren, ftho was a most beautiful Christian woman being reared in the Quaker church and afterwards joining the Christian pr light church.

A«ij9wrocrt for tUo 3et»ijon,

Last Friday the Ouiatenon Club met and discussed as a current topic, Editor Stead's new book, "If Christ Came to Chicago," the subject being introduced by Ptof. Smith.

The Club Fi'lday night adjourned subject to the call of the president. The president will certainly not call a meeting before next fall and it will then doubtless be a meeting for reorganization. It is thought that a number of members will then be dropped and their places filled with others who may be selected by the membership committee.

A SnrphiM of' Orphans.

1 lie directors of the Orphans'Home say that there are a number of excellent children at the institution who are ready to go to suitable homes ill any part of the county. The boys are old enough to help about the planting and harvesting and the girls are capable of assisting in house work. They will be let out to responsible persons on thirty days' trial.
