THE PEOPLE ARE HERE.

Fair Weather and "The Greatest on Kartli" Combine to Attract One of the Largest Crowds Ever Oil the Grounds —Notes Here and There.

The Crawfordsville fair nominally began Tuesday but virtually not until Wednesday. For several years past it has devoted Tuesday to Children's' day, so when this custom was abandoned this year, the day fell flat. It was one of preparation merely and the crowd lias not been calculated to pay the association out of debt. There were no races and the heavy rain of the morning1 kept many from attending who would probably have done so.

The hopes of the directors of "the greatest fair on earth" were not disappointed Thursday. The sun rose in a clear sky and about the same time thousands of people in all parts of this and neighboring counties rose also to prepare for a day of pleasure at the fair. Trains were loaded and gravel roads were crowded and by 10 o'clock the grounds and buildings had the appearance of one vast bee hive. The fakirs all made money to-day, the exhibitors had an elegant chance to advertise their goods and everybody was supremely happy.

FIXK FCRXITfnE.

The eye cannot pass with a mere passing glance the rich display of furniture belonging to A. Kostanzer's Sons in the east wing of Flora Hall. Nearly everyone stops for a closer inspection ot these fine goods and they are worthy. ears of experience have enabled the Kostanzers to give the public opportunity to buy the very latest things in furniture at the most reasonable prices. In this display are several elegant pieces already sold to Solomon Landman aud J. E. Lidekay,of Ladoga. Mr. Kostanzer regrets that lack of space prevented his display being what it ought to be to properly represent the stock he carries.

Expert judges worked in nearly every department, but there was some objection among stock exhibitors to having the same experts decide the sweepstakes who awarded premiums to individual animals in the various classes. This complaint was considered as having some foundation, so in the hog department expert L. H. Mays, of Tipton, was succeeded by J. R. Tomlimson, of Fail-land, when it came to sweepstakes. George Butcher, of this city, was expert on vegetables: J. 11. Tomliuson. of Fairland. on sheep: D. F. Legg, of Terre Haute, on cattle: Lee Ford, of Knightstown, on horses: B. IS*. Pierce, of Indianapolis. on chickens: and Mrs. Mai-y 11. Beeson, of Viuc-ennes, and Mrs. Fannie Shidler, of Indianapolis, on the Floral Hall exhibit. The red and blue ribbons were tied on more rapidly than usual as many of the experts have to attend other fares in the same capacity before the week is out. B. N. Pierce finished his work Wednesday and went to Lafayette. Next week lie will be at Shelbyrille. There are over 1,000 birds in the chicken sheds this year, not quite as many as last year but the quality is excellent. The same is true is nearly every department, a slight decrease in the number of entries but an advance in the quality, which on the whole is a favorable condition of things and we are to be congratulated upon it. There is one exception and that is in the horse department. Here Superintendent M. B. Waugh says that the entries are as numerous as ever if not more so and there is also a noticeable change for the better in the grade of animals entered.

TIIK MICK.

As usual D. W. Cox has something new and original at the fountain to amuse the children, and we must in truth add the grown folks. Three cages of mice are on exhibition and in each cage is a tin disk arranged to rerevolve on a nearly horizontal plane. The mice get on the disk and by running turn it at a rapid rate of speed. The little animals seem to enjoy the sport as much as the spectators, and keep it up until thoroughly exhausted. At night Ml-. Cox has to take the disks out so they will not run themselves to death. This scheme was first worked by Kohls & Middleton, the dime museum owners, who advertised them as trained mice, but as a matter of fact they go through their performance as naturally as monkeys in their antics and need no training, whatever.

BEAUTIFUL PIAXOS.

As usual D. H. Baldwin & Co. have a rich display of pianos and organs in the noith wing of Floral Hall. There is music at all hours of the day and evening. Yesterday and to-day it was furnished by Misses Carrie Schlemmer, Ruby Schleppy and Mabel Newton, and on Thursday and Friday Miss

VIRGINIA BLOOD!

The Itich, Hed Noctnr Flow* in the County Commiftsioncrg' Court.

Wednesday afternoon L. J. Coppage the well-known attorney and Sunday school teacher, came into the County Commissioners' court and stated to that honorable body that he wished to enternally blast the heretofore immaculate character of Barrister llouk, and as he wasn't given to roasting folks behind their backs he desired the presence of said llouk. Barrister llouk was sent for and arrived promptly, putting a little harder, his eyes sticking out a little further and his head thrown back slightly more than was his exemplary wont. It appears that these. two gentlemen are opposing attorneys in the case of a young woman at the poor farm who has a grievance against a bad. rude man. Mr. Houk hail made a statement which did not exactly accord with Mr. Coppage's view of the case and the state of facts so he wished Mr. Houk present when he expressed himself. Upon Barrister llouk's appearance Mr. Coppage began by waiving the quip modest, retort courteous and all that sort of thing and proceeding with a cold rush to the £lie lie direct. Mr. Houk gasped for breath and then cried: "If you repeat that I'll slap you!" "I repeat that you lied!" shouted Mr. Coppage prancing about in a belligerently verbose manner.

The mighty Houk lifted his arm and smack went his open hand across Mr. Coppage's face. Mr. Coppage is no physical coward, and grabbing a chair he smashed away in knightly style at the ponderous dome of thought apper taining to Wilber G. Houk, barrister. There was a crunching1 of bones, but they were finger bones, for Mr. Houk had saved his head piece by raising his hands, and he managed to smash

brother Coppage another good one be- ^standing back to give him air.

fore he could rally. They then prepared to go at it tooth and toe-nail, but Lant Long grabbed one and Charley Johnson the other and prevented further hostilities. The fray was exciting while it lasted and is the culmination of some pretty bad blood.

Death of Mabel C. Hutton.

Mabel Constance Hutton was born March 14, 1S77, and died September 1, 1604, aged 17 years five months and 18 days. She united with the Christian church in December, 1893, confessing faith in her Saviour. Mabel was always a good girl. She was sober, thoughtful and sweet spirited. Her life though short was most beautiful, ller determination at the time she became a Christian and during the few short months she was permitted to enjoy the Christian's hope was remarkable. She was taken suddenly worse a few hours before her death anil calling her father said to him: "I want Uncle John Morris and Aunt Mary to stay with me to-night as 1 shall not live till morning. 1 am read}- and willing to die," anil in a few hours she passed sweetly away to be with her mamma and little sister Maude.

The good citizens of Attica are preparing to give the boys a royal welcome. Those who can should avail themselves of the opportunity to grasp the hands of their comrades once more. Age with its infirmities is creeping on aud it will not be many years until the last reunion will be held. Time, the tomb-builder, has already called many from the scenes of this earthly strife and each year the ranks grow less and less in number.

•.GEE GRIMES BADLY HURT.

His Horse Falls and Minnie It Goes Over lliiii—1'urhaps Fatal Injuries.

At three o'clock yesterday a terrible accident occurred at the fair grounds on the race course which may result in the death of one of the best known horsemen in the country.

There were four horses in the free-for-all pace—Forest Wilkes, Red Bell, Garita and Minnie R.

The first heat had been been won by Forest Wilkes iu 2:17 tf, with Red Bell second. The second heat was exciting for the first half, Forest Wildes leading, Red Bell breaking and Minnie It. third, followed by Garita When going under the wire for the second half of the heat Garita, driven by her owner, Gee Grimes, passed Miunie and hugging the pole went flying up the course. When just even with the east end of the grand stand Garita stumbled and fell, Mr. Grimes going under the sulkey. Minnie R, owned by Carl Scott, of Ladoga, was close behind, too close to avoid rushing into the wreck. She did so aud with a crash she fell oil' to the south of Grimes' sulky all tangled up in the broken sulky and harness. Her driver was unhurt and jumping up assisted in clearing the smash up, Mr. (•rimes, however, had not fared so well. He was lying unconscious, covered with blood and dust under his sulky his head close by a post of the fence. Strong hands quickly pulled him from under the debris and he was carred to near the fountain in the circle. Drs. Gott, Ensminger, Cowan, and others were quickly summoned and the crowd kept back by the police. His daughters crying piteously, his father and mother, his sister, Mrs. W. E. Ilenkle, and others were the only persons allowed to go near, the crowd

LHs injuries were at once pronounced very serious. His breast was badly hurt and his face all cut up, one cut being deep and eight inches long. The worst injury, however, and the one to be feared is on his neck. He received a terrible blow just at the base of the brain. "He is a badly hurt man" said Dr. Gott. "Just how badly I won't say. but it's bad enough."

Grave fears are entertained as to his recovery. The jockeys of Garita cannot explain the cause of her fall. Neither she nor Minnie R. were very badly hurt.

Friday morning.—Gee Grimes is reported better to-day and his recovery, while not a certainty by any means, is looked upon as probable. It will be long before he can resume his work.

The Minstrels.

The

famous Richards & Pringle's

Georgia minstrels attracted a large crowd to Grant's opera house last night and the audience evinced its pleasure by frequent applause and ripples of merriment. There are some agreeable voicer among the minstrels, and as a result much of the singing was very enjoyable. The jokes propounded to the interlocutor were fresh and teemed with that innate sense of wit so appreciative and discernable in the genuine southern darkey. Every participant in the opening frolic proved himself an artist and an adept in the art of minstrelsy. There were no drones in that hive of merry-makers. Billy Kersands, notoriously regarded as the highest salaried minstrel performer in the United States and the man with the wonderful mouth,loomed up iu all his comical characteristics.— Daily Citizen, Albunucquc, N.M., March 2,

Thrown From a Horse.

Williamsport Republican-. Last Monday afternoon the little daughter of Chas. McCabe, of Covington, was riding horseback on the main street of that place when the horse frightenc" and she was thrown, her foot becoming fastened in the stirrup and she was dragged two hundred or more feet suspended by the foot, her body being exposed at every leap of the house to being kicked by the animal's heels. Strange to say she was not injured beyond a few bruises and a bad scare. The child is about seven years old. The man who caught the horse was injured to the extent of a broken rib.

Que Allen Wins.

Que Allen, Dr. Gott's horse, won the first two heats in the 2:28 trot in 2:28 and 2:30 with ease. Little Billy second. The third heat Que Allen broke the track record for trotting iu 2:21.
