GOT ELECTED.
The Men Who Have 1?een Chosen to Leail Company 15, Montgomery Guards.
Company B, Montgomery Guards, met July ISHh and elected officers. It was also decided to try and secure the Y. Y. C. A. armory for permanent headquarters. The election resulted as follows:
Captain—B. F. McClamrock. 1st Lieut.—F. B. Alexander. 2nd —C. O. Wilhite. 3d —W. W. Goltra. Orderfy Sargent—W. A. Schlemmer. 1st Sergent—C. N. Guthrie. 2nd —Fred Doherty. 3d —H. Albershardt. 4th —C. C. Travis. 1st Corporal—C.O.Benson. 2nd —John Bonnell, Jr. 3d —H. C. McClamrock. 4th —E. M. Eltzroth.
Death of Joseph Gaskill.
Joseph Gaskill, a former well known citizen of this place, died July 20th in Frankfort. The remains were brought here for interment. The Frankfort Times says:
After weeks of suffering and at the extreme old age of eighty-one years Uncle'Joseph Gaskill died at his home last night shortly after 8 o'clock.
He was born July 1st, 1813, in Warren county, Ohio. Came to Clinton county, Indiana, in 1833, and moved to Crawfordsville in 1840. where he lived until February, 1887, when lie moved to Frankfort.
During the most of his life he worked at the trade of shoe-making. However, while he resided in Crawfordsville, for a time he was in the retail boot and shoe business. In this he met with reverses, his store being burned. He had been twice married and his last wife survives him. but leaves no children. For a great many years he was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The simple expression, "If he had an enemy it is not known," is one of the most eloquent tributes that can be paid to any man, yet it is true of him. There was that about him that indicated the unswerving honesty of his nature and drew men to him as friends.
The Shiloh .Battle Field Park. A Monticell) dispatch savs:' "Col. E. T. Lee and a delegation of the officers of the Shiloh Battle-Field Association will leave here for Washington, D. C., to-morrow to secure the passage of the Shiloh bill, which was favorable reported. The bill is for the purchase and improvement of the Shiloh battle-field, and appropriates SI 50,000 for this purpose. The old army of the Tennessee and the western soldiers ask that justice be done them by giving them Shiloh for a National meeting park. They hope to secure the passage of the bill at the present ses sion of Congress."
The above is all very well but some one other than that noisy jay, "Col." Lee, should take the matter in hand. Lee is a first-class ignoramus and will "jontili" anything he goes against. This soidisant "colonel" should be tended to and kept severely in the background.
New Scenery for Music Hall. The board of directors of the Music Hall Association last week closed a contract with Sosman & Landis, scenic artists of Chicago, for a complete outfit of new scenery for the stage of Music Hall. It is to be of the most modern style of scenic painting, and the reputation that the firm enjoys all over the country as theater artists is a guarantee that the public will be delighted and pleased. The contract is that it shall be in position by the first of October. The present drop curtain with its steers will be used as a winding sheet for the "artist" whose "genius conceived and whose brush touched" when he shall have been called hence
Tough On Bloomington.
The Bloomington Telephone professes to know that a determined effort will be made at the next meeting of the General Assembly to remove the Indiana University to Indianapolis. The city will be asked to donate §400,000, and a plea will be made to the General Assembly that it stands prepared to give better buildings and abetter site, which will not cost the State one cent if the institution is moved. If the State University is taken away from Bloomington it will kill that place deader than any salt mackerel.
A New Pest.
A new pest has made its appearance. It is a green louse and is working sad havoc with cucumber and watermelon vines. The louse being nearly the same color as the vine renders it difficult to be discovered. The insect is found on the under side on the leaf of the watermelon or cucumber vine, and in a short time the vine is lifeless.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY i7, 1894—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST
MR. HOOF, RESIGNED.
He Didn't Want to be Township Chairman Any Longer.
Saturday, Julyl4.when the Democratic township convention elected W. P. Herron chairman of the meeting after it had been moved to allow the township chairman, Mr. John A. Booe, to remain in the chair, it was remarked by a well known Democrat: "Well, this is the first time John Booe was ever turned down by the Democrats of this county and it cuts him up right smart."
Mr. Booe looked cut up too but no one anticipated his resignation as chairman of the township central committee which was tendered a few hours later. Mr. Booe's resignation was kept exceedingly quiet and many of the party leaders were in complete ignorance of it until last, Saturday when it was found that Mr. Booe would not reconsider his action and a successor would have to be elected. Mr. Booe protested that he continued to be a Democrat of the purest ray serene but his business did not warrant his devoting the time necessary for the arduous duties incumbent upon the office. Accordingly the faithful unwashed met last Saturday to choose a man worthy to wear the mantel of the transcendent John. lien the meeting had assembled the resignation of Mr. Booe was duly accepted and nomiifations for a successor were declared in order. The only name presented was that of ere West and Jere was elected by acclamation. Claude Thompson was sent across the street to fetch the lucky man over and when Jere came he was welcomed with applause. He made a speech and was then given the grip the papers and the pass word.
Chrysanthemum Society.
On Thursday, July 10th, at the small court room was organized the Montgomery County Chrysanthemum Society, with the following officers:
President—Mrs. Thos. Moffett. Vice-President—Mrs. Robt. Larsh Secretary—Mrs. \Y. S. Moffett. Cor. Sec.—Mrs. Jas. Waugli. Treasurer—Mrs. Chas. Goltra. Board of Directors—Mesdames. Thos. Moffett, Robt. Larsh, Win. Martin, George Graham, Chas. Goltra, W. S. Moffett, and Messrs. Krause and Crist.
The organization is similar to the State Society and will give an annual exhibition with premiums offered on all classes of chrysanthemums. Competition is open to all amateurs and florists in the county. A catalogue and premium list will be issued in a few days and the first exhibition will be given in November. A varied programme of entertainment will be given during the week and the chrysanthemum show will be to Crawfordsville what the State show is to Indianapolis.
Lady liugs by Mail,
The daily bulletin from the Postoffice Department, addressed to Postmaster Voris, announced to-day that hereafter Australian lady birds will be admitted to the mails alive. The bulletin says: "Section 922 of postoffice regulations is hereby modified so as to admit to the mails alive an insect known as the Australian lady Dird. This insect has been introduced into the United States from Australia by fruit growers for the purpose of clearing scale insects from fruit trees, and it is reported, has proved a very effective remedy for that great scourge of fruit trees."
To Fill Another Want.
An irresponsible he gossip is authority for the statement that E. II. Staley, of Frankfort, has in contemplation the establishment of a third daily paper in Crawfordsyille. The experiment of a third daily has been tried here within the memory of man and not even a bubble remains to mark the place where the experiment went down in the dark and hungry deep. It is hardly worth while to state, however, that Staley has no such ignominious end in contemplation, he never having considered the idea credited to him.
None of Them Are Saloon Keepers.
"Thk Joi
hnat, is mistaken," said a
member of the Knights of St. John on Saturday evening. "There is not a saloon keeper in this city who is a member of the Knights of St. John. For awhile we had one or two bartenders who were members, but they have dropped out and we have no person connected with the business in our organization. Archbishop Satolli's letter is just exactly right and I approve every word of it."
Death of Mrs. Kelly.
Mrs. Eliza Kelly, of Terre Haute, died July l'.t, '04. She was a former resident of New Market, and was 82 years, 5 months and (i days. The funeral was preached at New Market Sunday morning at 10:30 a. m., the remains to be intered in the Masonic cemetery at Crawfordsville.
HAVE WE ZINC?
ltlcli Specimens of tle Valuable Ore Vouiul Along Sugar Creek.
For a number of years line specimens of lead ore have been found in this vicinity, notably on the Paul Hughes farm. It was generally supposed, however, as no zinc had been found, that the lead ore was merely drift, brough here ages ago by glacial action. In the light of recent events there seems to be good reason for believing that investigation would develop rich deposits of lead and zinc near this city. A week or so ago certain parties discovered along Sugar Creek a large deposit of ore laden rock protruding from the banks of Sugar Creek. There appeared to be a large field of it and the finders being ignorant of its character, brought back several pieces to this city giving them to D. W. Cox and Sidney Speed. These gentlemen pronounced them zinc and sent them on to Joplin, Mo., to be tested. The test has been made and is to the effect that the zinc in the Crawfordsville ore is 20 per cent, above that of Joplin. A party is being organized to make a thorough investigation of the deposits hereabouts and to discover if mining them will prove profitable. Specimens of both the lead and zinc can be found at Brown's drug store.
Satolli's Killings.
Mg-r. Satolli's ruling sustaining the decree issued by Bishop Watterson, of Columbus, O., that no person engaged in the manufacture or sale of intoxi eating liquors may be admitted to membership in societies affiliated with the Roman Catholic church, has pro duced a profound sensation in Roman Catholic circles throughout the country. The pastoral letter sent out by Bishop Watterson and now endorsed by the papal delegate was most sweeping in its condemnation of all persons concerned in the liquor traffic. It withdrew the episcopal sanction from all associations of which a saloon keeper was an officer, and it declared that no one engaged either as principal or agent in the manufacture or sale of liquor could be admitted to such societies. This was the most radical utterance on the liquor question ever delivered by a Roman Catholic prelate in this country, and its approval by the representative of the holy see makes it the law for the faithful.
Quite a number of saloon keepers of Crawfordsville belong to the Knights of St. John and just how they will be effected by the great decision remains to be seen.
A Delicate Surgical Operation. Frank Steele, who lives fourteen miles north of Crawfordsville, on July 3, jumped from the ground upon his liorse, falling upon his stomach. He sustained internal injuries from which he suffered imtil Sunday, when Dr. Leech, assisted by Drs. Washburn and Black, of New Richmond, and Dr. Bareus, of this city, relieved the patient by performing a surgical operation by cutting through the wall of the abdomen, evacuating a puss cavity containing over a pint of thick, offensive puss. Mr. Steele is on the high road to recovery.
Kobbins and the Encampment. Indianapolis News: Adjutant General Robbins says that most of the officers at Hammond are not in favor of holding the encampment if the money that it would require might be used for winter clothing for the troops. Other officers think that the event should not be abandoned on any account. The governor decides whether the encampment aliall be held or not, and he will make no decision until he confers with all the military authorities.
EAST END NOTES.
Dr. Henry has left Crawfordsville and located at Alamo where he formerly practiced medicine.
D. D. Riddle has just finished painting his east Jefferson street residence and now has a very fine, imposing looking house.
The east end of the city lias been greatly improved in the last week by cutting the weeds on vacant lots and sidewalks. This is the first step toward getting the city in trim for the only fair, which will soon be due and which will surely come with more than the usual attractions from the fact that there is an abundance of everything grown this season and we may expect one of the grandest exhibits that Montgomery county lias ever had in the fair ground. So let every citizen consider himself a committee of one to get our city into its best clothes for that occasion. It goes without saying that we have the prettiest city of its size in the State, the best shaded, the best lighted aud the best watered, and the largest number of fine residences, aud last the very best fair, the State fair not excepted.
COSTLY BLAZE.
The ltnriiK of James (Silliland, of Brown'* Valley, Destroyed With all Its Contents.
A lire with a loss aggregating con-y siderable over S3,000 occurred last Friday at Brown's Valley. Just opposite the Vandal in station there is the place of James Gilliland, one of the finest in the county. Mr. Gilliland had two barns, an old one and a new bank barn, the latter a very large and complete one. In it was stored a large quantity of valuable farming implements and machinery, fifty tons of hay, 500 bushels of old wheat and 300 bushels of corn. The hay was clover with timothy above it. The hay, getting hot, had taken fire and this, smouldering, had generated gas. Suddenly, last Friday between the hours of 8 and '.) o'clock, there was a muffled roar heard from the direction of the barn, and looking that way the building was perceived to be a mass of seething flames. It was impossible to save a. thing from ruin so attention was turned toward saving the contents of the old barn and the carriages and wagons were rolled out from this before this, too, went up. Great difficulty was experienced in saving the house and other buildings. The loss is partially covered by insurance in the
Ohio Farmers, but Mr, Gilliland will lose about $1,500 at the lowest estimate.
Two little children, one the daughter of John Gilliland, of Crawfordsville, had been playing in the wheat bin just before the fire broke out. Had they remained a few moments longer they would surely have perished, as the fire, aided by the gas, extended to all parts of the building almost instantly.
OUR OLD FRIEND FRANK.
Joe Fossee's Lightning lt:irler Attempts Suicide in Lafayette.
The following from the Lafayette SuiuhiyTiiH.es will interest the many acquaintances of Frank Moore, who who for a long time held a chair in Fossie's barber shop: "No ghastly Pegasus bore Benjamin Frank Moore in his remarkable effort, yesterday morning, to prematurely probe the the Hereafter. But upon the legs that nature gave him this well known voung iaan set the pace for the grim destroyer in his endeavors to escape those who would hold him to the bond of earthy existence. Think of self sought surcease with the stomach stirring elements of arsenic, "Rough on Rats'' and poisonous fly- paper water! Well, all these were flagged and represented on Moore's suieidel programme, and it primarily required the sprinting efforts of Metropolitan police and citizens to capture, and, subsequently, the active engineering of a stomach pump, and the lieroic administration of most effective antidotes to reduce the irritated interior of the would be dead man to a condition, that would permit of time for recuperation.
Dr. J. I). Hillis, called to relieve Moore of the first paroxysms superinduced by the medley of poisons, and still attending the patient at the home of the latter's mother, Mrs. Stephen Moore, No 74 Brown street, was last night much more inclined to believe that the sufferer would recover than during the day. While still complaining of occasional violent pain ia the stomach region Moore, at 8 o'clock last night, called for food, and swallowing the same was able toavoid vomiting.
Dr. Ilillis noted other favorable indications that the poison's ravages were checked, and were it not for the possibilities of inflammation there would be hardly a doubt of Moore's recovery. As it is it appears, from latest report, that the chances for life are with him. It is of various surmise, but unauthentic, the reasons for Moore's gloomy views of a mundane career. Disappointment in a love affair is especially set up in theory, but as the principal actor in yesterday's exciting scene is not now prone to interviewing, the guessers may grope for the time being. His recent eccentricity is not Moore's only claim to fame, for in the days of riot trials he he was not the least of illuminants oil the A. P. A. side. By trade he is a barber, of late in business on north Ninth street."
Some evil Nemesis seems to pursue the barbers of Mr. Fossee's tonsorial emporium. Frank Moore committed suicide, Mart Kernoodlewas murdered in Arkansas and Will Armstrong lias a fast horse.
