A Man Who is Just Hying for Glory—A Story That 1h Going Around About

.John I-. Goben.

Indianapolis Sun: John L. Goben. of Crawfordsville, the aggressive Pop-ulist-Democrat who is wearing somber optics as a result of a violent contact with two State conventions, was the hero of a sensation which was being peddled about the streets, Thursday.

Goben is an affable gentleman with an o'erweening penchant to dabble iu politic*. The Populists, it will be remembered, refused to nominate him for State Auditor,and E. A. Perkins,the popular labor leader of Indianapolis, got there in his stead. But Goben, according to the Populist leaders, was not discouraged. They assert that he at once wrote to Amos Keeport, of Cass county, candidate for treasurer, petitioning him in the strongest language, to withdraw and allow him— Goben—to be appoiuted in his stead. He had lots of money, and. it is said, advanced the argument that his contribution to the campaign pot would eclipse Keeport's like the luminous light of the sun compared to a tallow candle. For the good of the party Keeport, it is asserted, sent his resignation to the State committee, but there it met with a stumbling block.

All of the above, told as facts, cropped out of the recent meetings of the State committee, when it was also reported by Auditor-candidate Perkins that Goben had offered §1.000 down, SI,300 before election day and a deputyship, in case of his election, if the latter would pull oft* in his favor. Still more interesting developments were to follow. On Tuesday last, Secretary Cummings claims, Goben, who was in town hustling for a position on the Democratic Committee, came to him and reiterated a former proposition to donate any amount of money to the Populist fund provided the committee would appoint him in Keeport's place. He also stated, Cummings says, that the Democratic State Committee, Taggart included, had agreed to indorse him on the Populist ticket, thus throwing the entire Democratic vote to him. The Populists gave him a rebuff, however, and the Democratic committeemen aver that they never thought of such a proposition. The Democracy of his district even refused to indorse him for State Treasurer and he was forced to pull out before the convention, while his last prospect of a political job glimmered and winked out."

VOL. 52—NO. 34 CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1894—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

Frank Cornell Crazy.

Frank Cornell, the well known school teacher, has become violently insane and is now in the county jail awaitin an inquest.

Frank Cornell is now quite an old man and some years ago was sent to the insane asylum from Fredricksburg. He returned cured and has since been teaching in this county, having had a school near Linden last winter. He has been making his home at the residence of J. G. Overton on west Main street this summer and last week attended a religious debate at Advance. He returned greatly excited and agitated and has been on the down grade ever since. Last Thursday he displayed unmistakable symptoms of the return of his old disease. Drs. Keegan and May were called in and pronounced his case a bad one. Accordingly the police were called in by Mr. Overton and poor old Frank was taken to the jail. He was very restive all that night and paced his cell like a wild animal. His many friends over the couuty will be pained to hear of his relapse.'

What in a Scull?

We have heard much about "scabs" during the late strike and understand that it is a name applied to a person who takes the place of a striker. A judge in Kansas, in trying to get a striker to further define a "scab," gave his version as follows: "i believe a scab is a free American citizen who decides for himself when he shall go to work and when he shall stop work, and does not leave this question to be settled by Mr. Debs or any other man a scab is a man who sympatizes with his home and family before he does with the Russians and Italians of Chicago, and remains at work when he has no grievance, to support them a scab is a man who believes that the government and the courts are bigger than the American Railway Union and Mr. Debs."

Serious Illness of Dr. Montague. Word has been received here that Dr. Montague, formerly of this city, but now of DesMoines, Iowa, is in the last stages of consumption and cannot long survive. His great desire is to return to Crawfordsville and die surrounded by his old friends. To this end he made an effort to come but was too ill to make the journey and was compelled to remain at DesMoines.

EYE BURNED OUT.

Horrible Accident to Israel I'litton's Grandson—lSueket of Limo Kxploded .In 111* Fare.

A peculiar but serious accident happened last Wednesday at the farm of Israel Patton. six miles north of the city. His grandson, a boy of seventeen years, named Blair, was preparing to whitewash the chicken house. He was slacking the lime and thought it was ready for putting on when it suddenly exploded in his face. He was rribly burned and for three days lias suffered intensely. One eye is burned out anil the doctors have only faint hopes of saving the other. In the event that he recovers he will carry the scars to his grave.

Had to l»e Wripjlit.

Mrs. Lydia B. Wright has gone into court and made a solemn sworn statement, to the effect that her husband, Wm. 11. Wright is all wrong. She explains this peculiar paradox iu the context of a sweetly worded complaint for divorce. She took the biscuit baking oath several years ago and faithfully lived up to it. but Bill went clear back on'his part of the contract and rewarded the thrifty housekeeping and 250 degrees-in-the-shade affections of his loving wife by kiclcs. cuffs and curses interspersed with failure to provide and other facinating shortcomings. Married life became too exhilarating for the constitution of Lydia, so she has concluded to graze on the inviting pastures of grass widowhood for a right smart spell if not for the balance of her days.

Humane Society.

The subject of the Humane Society is being talked of again, and it is possible that the matter may now be put in shape to do some good. It has been discovered that in 1881) a law. was enacted that entitles this kind of a soci ety to a special agents to look after its affairs. This city is not now within the bounds of the act, still it will show what good can be accomplished with the following law: "Sec. 2. Whenever, in any city having the control of its police department under a metropolitan board of police commissioners, there shall be any regularly incorporated society oor organization for the enforcement of the humane laws of the State, and whenever such society, through its authorized president and 'board of directors, shall, in writing, demand the appointment of such humane inspector, as provided for in the first section of this act, then it shall be the duty of said police commissioners, within thirty days after the receipt of the petition of the president and directors of said humane society, to appoint, in accordance with their rules and in conformity with this act. said inspector.

Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of said inspector, after his appointment, to attend exclusively to the detection and arrest of persons violating the humane statutes of the State, provided, however, he shall be under the control and discipline of said board of police commissioners and its officers, as other officers and patrolmen of said police department."

The family of Joel Deere held its an nual reunion at the Shades Aug. 10 and the day was delightfully passed by all. Forty-five persons were present and a bounteous dinner was served by Landlord Stebbins. In the afternoon the male representatives played base ball and after the game the entire family was photographed by Nicholson.

LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED.

Vttondcd the Bias* Convention of Democrats Welch For Trustee anil Thompson for Assessor-Sliort on Candidates

For Justice and Constable.

The mass Democratic convention to nominate candidates for the Union township offices was called to order by Jere West, chairman of the Democratic township committee and Will Hunt acted as secretary. On motion of Will lohnston it was decided to vote by allot. Mr. .Johnston gave as a reason for his motion that only a few were present anil it would not take long to count the votes. Read llanna nominated W. K. Wallace for trustee and Judge. Britton nominated Benjamin Welch, a well-to-do fanner of near Clark's dam. The total number of votes was 80, of which Wallace received 31i, and Welch received 47. For assessor the names of Robert Beck Jere P. Chad wick, Cyrus Thompson, and Win. Smith, of New Market, were placed in nomination. The, first ballot resulted: Beck 17, Chailwick 27, Thompson 2'.), Smith 21. ballot resulted: Heck 15 Thompson 34, Smith 1'.).

The name of Sinttii was dropped and the fourth ballot resulted resulted in the nomination of Thompson by a vote of 41 for him against 38 for Clmdwiek.

The second Chailwick 25, The name of

There was a wonderful dearth of candidates for .Justice of Peace anil Constable. For the first named otlice John G. Overton, Wilbur G. llonk and 11. D. Servies were nominated. Mr. Houk withdrew and Mr. Servies being postmaster of New Market, was declared ineligible for the office. On motion of Mulberry Sellars the nominations were closed and the ticket is three names short for this oilice, Mr. Overton being named unanimously. For Constable, John Patterson, colored, and Emmons Douglas, of New Market, were unanimously nomina ed, two short of the regular quota. The convention adjourned about three o'clock.

Furniture Kmporium.

One of the finest furniture emporiums in the State was opened last Friday by Mahorney & Son. An immense room in the second story of their building has been elegantly fitted up with hardwood lloors, electric lights, choice paper and all the latest appointments for the comfort and ease of the customers. This room .is devoted to a superb display of elegant furnishings. Here are found the finest mantels, chairs, divans, couches, hat racks, pictures, carpets, rugs, brass bedsteads, screens, etc. The place is a perfect dream of delight and the display is astonishing. The room is so arranged that it is perfectly lighted both night and day anil there is ample room for all goods to be exhibited from all sides and in all positions. The service here is of the best and it is truly a matter for congratulation that Crawfordsville is possessed of such an enterprise.

Improvements at l'lne Hills. The Kingfishers are now in camp at their home at Pine Hills. They have added several improvements to their grounds. A cave has been dug in the side of the hill back of the house and is used to keep the butter and milk cool. The old spring got so shallow that it was difficult to get water out of it, so a well was dug close by and a pump put in. The Kingfishers are delightfully fixed as usual. The ladies occupy the club house and the gentlemen sleep in tents. The grounds are gaily decorated and at night are lit up with a dozen torches. The ground just below Indian Creek recently purchased by A. B. Anderson, Ben Crane and others is being cleared off preparatory to the building of cottages next Spring.

Located In Covington.

Morris llerzog was in the city last Friday and reports himself as now located in Covington in the best of quarters and already in the enjoyment of a good trade. Waynetown fesls keenly the loss of this hustling business man. During Mr. Hergoz's thirty years' residence in this county he built up an enviable reputation for honesty and enterprise. He has made bushels of money but is not now a rich man. He keeps money circulating and his paper is always at par. He has always squared himself 100 cents on the dollar. For years he was the business monarch of Wayne township and the adviser of her people, who now feel his loss to their sorrow.

Scott & Stubbs.

C. M. Scott has formed a partnership in the insurance business with Harvey Stubbs, of Chrisman, 111., a gentleman with large experience in that line of

work. Mr. Stubbs will move with his family in a few days.

HON. JOHN L. WILSON.

A liricf Visit to llis Old Friends in Crawfordsville— In the Senatorial Fight.

Representative .John L. Wilson, of Washington, arrived in t,hc city last Friday aud left next morning for Indianapolis. From there he will go to Chicago where he will be joined by his wife and then proceed to Spokane Falls. Mr. Wilson was here but a few hours but the air was musical during his stay. He says there is no doubt but that Grover will sign the tariff bill as soon as he is rid of the "malaria" as they call it in Washington. It is called by different names in different localities. Here in Crawfordsville it is known as "nervous prostration." Mr. Wilson reoreseuteil Montgomery county in the Legislature of 1881. The following year he was appointed receiver of the land otlice at Colfax, Washington Territory. Subsequently the office was removed to Spokane, where Mr. Wilson has since resided.

1

He soon became a leader of the Republican party of the Territory, and was tlie first Congressman from the State. In the House he has made a reputation as a debator and seldom ti day passes without a witty hit from him at the Democrats. He will not be a candidate for re-election to the House, but is a candidate for the Senate, with a most excellent show to succeed, lie is in a hurry to get home to look after the Legislative fences. The nominations so far as they have been made, he says, are largely in his favor and he feels confident that he will be triumphantly chosen. Mr. Wilson has been a hard, persistent and successful worker in Congress for the benefit of his State. During the five years lie has represented Washington in Congress he has succeeded in securing appropriations to the amount of $3,200,000, all of which money has been or will be expended there in the improvement of rivers and harbors, surveying the public lands, erecting public buildings and diverse and sundry other purposes. The leading men of the State recognize his industry and ability and are determined that he shall be honored with a seat in the Senate in recognition of his worth. Crawfordsville takes a pride in Mr. Wlison as one of her sons and will watch the progress of the Senatorial struggle in that State with ab-t sorbing interest.

Our Sports at Terre Haute.

The Crawfordsville sporting men did not make their fortunes at the Terre Haute races. The Crawfordsville men are noted for playing the favorites and the first of the week when the dark horses won the Athenians were going to bed hungry. The last two days, however, helped tliem out some so most of them came home with their hats on. Still several were heavy losers on the week. One of our ex-'|| eellent citizens while inspired bv a friendly jag slapped $100 down on "Old Hi" and to the surprise of everybody won. Another fellow cleared $50 in the same rude manner, but naturally most of the boys who went against the [esthetic game lost all they put up. All in all Crawfordsville lost enough at Terre Haute to endow an alcove in the Wabash College library—say an alcove containing books which portray the evils resultant from that pastime known iu polite society as "bucking the tiger."

Another Version.

Anent the sensational scandal in the west end wherein Harvey Lewallen aud wife and Clarence Patton figured, there is now another story and its authenticity is vouched for by the lady in the case. It is claimed that Harvey did not attack Clarence because he was too familiar with the former's wife, but because of a difficulty dating back a year or more. The unreasonable Harvey came home in the middle of the night and finding Clarence there making a little social call proceeded to kick up a big row. Everyone will at once see how mean and unseemly this was on Harvey's part.

Worse and More Of It.

The Chicago Drover's Journal of the 17th—last Friday—contains this startling item:

Populists of Indiana charge John L. Goben, a Congressional aspirant, with offering SI,000,000 for the nomination.

If the London Times had made this statement it would not have been surprising, but coming as it does from a Chicago daily it borders on the sensational.
