A Display of Nerve.

The following from the Attica Lcibjcr concerns a young man who formerly resided here and who is a nephew of Ira Cadwallader of this city:

Ira Cadwallader displayed a great deal of nerve and furnished an exciting time at the West Lebanon fair on last Friday. He had a horse in the pacing race and in scoring they failed to get off. Ira had just turned to return to the score when one of his lines broke. The track was filled with horses and attendants, and his animal was going at a good gait, threatening to run into everything on the track. With rare judgment Ira guided the horse through the crowd with one line and when he had passed them jumped from the sulky to the horse's back, in order to stop the animal, which was now on the verge of running away. As he alighted astride the horse it reared and threw him off. He sprang from the ground and again got astride, and finally got his hands on the bit and stopped the now thoroughly frightened animal. It was a sensational feat and while it was being performed Ira's mother fainted and had -to be carried from the grounds, and others were wild with excitement. The daring driver received a round of applause when he succeeded in checking the horse.

CRAWFORDSYIKLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1894.—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

BURGLAR WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE.

Ho liansacks the liesldence of Dr. Keegan and Flys Loaded With l'lunder.

Last Friday Dr Keegan. wife and Miss Lulu locked their residence and went a few blocks distance to spend a couple of hours with Louis Otto aud wife. They returned about o'clock and entered by the front door. Mrs. Keegan and Miss Lulu Went in first, the doctor following them dragging :i large chair which had been left on the p^rch. As Mrs. Keegan crossed the room she found that the contents of the drawers were scattered promieuously over the room. She cried out that some one had been in the house and the doctor leaving the chair he was dragging hurried into the next room followed by his wife and daughter and then struck a light. In that room similar confusion was evidenced and they stepped back into the parlor. There a surprise awaited them. On the seat of the big chair the doctor had just brought in was lying a huge butcher knife, which belonged in the dining room. It was evident that the thief had been surprised and had stepped behind the door as the family entered, talcing advantage of them go ing into the adjoining room to lay down the knife aud decamp unnoticcd. In every room in the house, except Miss Lulu's room, things were turned topsy turvy. The thief had evidently not come to that yet and there is where he missed. On her bureau lay a 8250 watch, some jewelry and money. A number of articles were immediately missed and the police were notified. A silver pitcher was found in Dr. Keegan's back yard by the flying rascal and Saturday, in a pillow slip by Hence Coleman's barn were found all the bulky silverware which had been stolen. A number of silver forks and spoons and nine pieces of jewelry were carried off. One piece wasj especially valued by Mrs. Keegan because of its associations. It was an old fashioned gold ring containing a lock of her mother's hair, and was highly treasured by her. The burglar had effected an entrance by forcing the dining room window.

Burglars also attempted to enter the residence of M. B. Richmond, west of the college, that night but were frightened away before accomplishing anything.

PRACTICAL IRRIGATION.

Cole, tlio Gardener, Gives tlie Theory a l'ractical Test With Satisfactory KesultB.

Irrigation in this county has been much talked of aud many have theorized on how much money might be saved if the blight of the almost annual drouths could be prevented. It remained for E. Cole to put the theory into practice, however. About two weeks ago he set up a steam engine and pump on his garden near the Sperry bridge and began pumping water to all parts of his place from Sugar Creek. He uses a two inch pipe and irrigates his entire garden of seventeen acres. Trenches a few inches deep are made between a number of rows of corn,cabbage or whatever it may be and filled with water. After it has stood a few hours the water is turned into other trenches until everything has felt the benign influence of the water. The result of the two weeks' experiment has been almost magical, while other gardens have withered from the heat of the sun and the lack of moisture Mr. Cole's vegetables and fruits have flourished like the green bay tree and he calculates that he has saved and will yet save this season hundreds of dollars. It is to be hoped this experiment so ooldly begun by Mr. Cole will be repeated many times in Montgomery county.

A Sad Heath.

Thursday at seven o'clock, at his home on the .J anie ones place,occurred the death of Reuben Rumble, after a painful siege of typhoid fever. The funeral occurs Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. J. Howe.

Mr. Rumble was an industrious and excellent young man. respected by all who knew him. I ie was married less than three months ago toM iss Jessie Krug and the bereaved wife lias the sympathy of all in her awful misfortune.

Frank Cornell l!ctter.

When Frank Cornell was taken to the insane hospital at Indianapolis it was supposed that he would quickly succumb to his disease. The contrary has proved true, however. Last week Sheriff Davis had a letter from the superintendent stating that Frank was decidedly better. He eats and sleeps well and is improving quite rapidly. He may be expected here again sometime in the future restored and in his right mind.

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

lieport of the Committee on UoRolutlonR— JCveryhouy Tlmnked.

The committee on resolutions submitted the following report Friday at the close of the teachers' institute:

Your committee begs leave to offer the following as an expression of the feeling of the members of the institute: 1. Iicxulvetl, That we take this opportunty to express our appreciation of the efforts made by the instructors who have been present with us and of the message each has had for us and to extend thanks to each: To Prof. Stalker for his clear and connected talks on physical phenomena, which have been an intellectual pleasure and an inspiration to every true teacher toward a greater intellectual activity along every line to Prof. Ogg, whom wo have known before, and whom it is good to know, for his earnestness, which certainly cannot fail to cause every true disciple to feel the spirit growing more alive within him as he listens to the words of this devoted teacher: to Prof. McBeth for his bringing clearly to our minds the necessity of unity of purpose in teaching a thought that needs to be emphasized constantly: to Miss Wells whose clear cut. practical work in the primary grades has called forth expressions of hearty appreciation from teachers on every hand, and the value of which to this body cannot be expressed iu words. 2. That the thanks of the institute be extended to the committee of entertainment for the excellent programme furnished for the evening. 8. That we, as a body of teachers, extend our sincerest thanks to each of the ladies and gentlemen who took part in the artistic literary and musical programme furnished without cost, for our entertainment, and that we will remember them iu substantial was whenever possible. 4. That we thoroughly appreciate the earnestness of our superintendent and extend to him our sincere thanks for making the institute so instructive and successful. 5. That it is the sense of the teachers of Montgomery county that the Legislature at its next session should increase the amount furnished by each county for institute purposes to $125. 0. That we recognize the value of the Children's Reading Circle, and that we will use our best efforts to introduce and extend this valuablle aid to our pupils in tlieir work.

Dr. Burroughs' Lecture.

Lebanon Reporter: Dr. George S. Burroughs. president of Wabash college, lectured before the teachers and citizens at the Grand last night. Dr. Burroughs is not a great orator but he is a pleasant speaker and what he says is so full of goodness and value that he easily holds and charms his audience. Such an address as he delivered last night could have come only from a man deeply in earnest and one whose thoughts and concepttonsof life were of the highest. The assembly, which was quite large, gave him the strictest attention. The lecture was on "Self-culture of the Teacher," and if any of the teachers of the institute had before doubted or underestimated the nobility aud importance of their calling, their doubts were dispelled by the address. In fact the pedagogues after he was through could almost be excused if they imagined they were the "only people" of the laud.

Dr. McMullen at IlobertH Chapel. The sermon of Dr. J. W. T. McMullen at Roberts Chapel Sunday more than met the expectation of the people. He is seventy years old and yet lie was designated by the pastor, Rev. Juo. M. Stafford, as "the grand old man eloquent." The clear exegesis of the scripture, the plain statement of doctrine, the fiery burning words, far exceed that of many men of commanding ability in the pulpit. The only difference between the doctor now and in his palmist days of thirty years ago is that of a more chastend spirit and a sweetness produced by the constant companionship of the Holy Comforter. May many years of usefulness be added to this man of God. In his pleasant rural home at Lafayette he dwells in peace and contentment and honored by all and ready, always ready to go forth to the battle to aid his friends whenever duty calls.

HONOR TO THE VICTORS.

Darlington and Franklin Township Publicly Keceivo the Successful School Contestant a.

Special to the Journal. DAKI.INOTON, Sept. 8.—Last Saturday night was the time and Hulet's hall the place, that Darlington and Franklin township met to do honor to their public schools and Miss Florence Boots and Miss Jennie Zieglar, the two successful contestants at the county contest, winning the first two prizes, something never done before by any township in the county. The Darlington cornet band played a few airs on the street in front of the hall and in a very few minutes the hall was comfortably full. The exercises were opened by the choir, then invocation by Rev. Black of the Presbyterian church. After another song by the choir Dean Jackman and OlaColetrain, each just at the age of six, or the age to enter school, gave us recitations that were hard to excel even by much older persons. Then Miss Lena Hollingsworth, of Madison township, and the contestant -from there, gave her speech and so well did she perform her part that fears were entertained for our prize winners. But they each gave us their speeches in their best style and manner, fully sustaining the decision of the judges at the county contest ami we are now fullj" assured and satisfied that our town and township schools are the best. Thus we had the public school from start to finish. Then came short speeches from J. A. Berryman, as President of the school board Wm. Hampton, trustee of Franklin township Ed Slavens, one of the teachers. Rev. Worrall then gave a good wholesome talk on our schools. Di. I. E. G. Naylor gave a nice talk to the audience, then to *he three graduates. Asking them to rise he with a few very fitting remarks gave each a gold ring as a slight memento from their many friends. Then came 'the benediction when hand shaking and congratulations were in order.

BRICK YARD FIRE.

The L'liuit of Cicero BIcCluer & Sons Suffers From Fire This Morning*

Saturday morning at 3 o'clock the kiln sheds at McCluer & Sons' brick yards near the Junction took fire from the burning of a couple of kilns of brick. An alarm of fire was turned in and the department came out, but as the sheds were out of the city returned without giving aid, the chief of the department deeming it impracticable. Both sheds were consequently destroyed and the walls of the kilns slightly sprung. The burning will go on as the brick are not injured and the loss will be repaired after the brick are baked. The loss is aboutS800 with no insurance.

Had Meat.

Mister Tom Ham is (if we may believe the sworn statement of his wedded wife,) sadly afllicted with a severe and long standing attack of moral trichinosis. Mrs. Ham, who rejoices in the name of Nancy, conceived the fondness for pork several years ago, aud finally concluded that fresh Ham was good enough for her. So she solemnly eschewed all other meat at the marriage altar and promised to stick to Ham. But Ham didn't exactly agree with her. She alleges iii her complaint that it was no infrequent thing for her to be whacked over the head with a Ham bone and when she was sick the doctors didn't come because they were not solicited. Ham failed to provide her enough to eat and acquired an ugly habit of coming to his meals pretty well soaked in corn whisky (corned pork.) Nancy is accordingly ready for a change of diet and respectfully entreats the court to see that she gets it as soon as possible, if not sooner.

Death of Mrs. Clara Kennedy. II. M. Perry received a telegram from Peterson, Iowa, announcing the death of Clara Kennedy nee Britton at 12 o'clock Wednesday, Aug. 2l.
