FRANK M. NUCKOLLS RECEIVER.

An 111 Wind That Blows Nohody Any Good —A Crawfordsville Hoy Steps Up.

Frank M. Nuckolls, formerly of this city, has been appointed receiver for the Slielbyville and the Warsaw water plants. The Shelby ville Republican says:

Last Saturday the American Debenture Company, of Chicago, by Elias Summerfield as receiver and R. H. Wilbanks, attorney, filed a petition in the circuit court to have a receiver appointed to take charge of the Indiana Water and Light Company, of this city, as well as that of Warsaw, Indiana. The petition alleges that the company is indebted to the first named company in the sum of $10,000 and that division and sales of the plants would result in injury to the patrons of the Water & Light Company and greatly decrease the value of the plants and that the same could be protected as well as the interest of its creditors by having a receiver take it in charge. Upon this showing Judge Johnson granted the petition and appointed F. M. Nuckolls receiver of both plants, and required him to qualify by giving bond in the sum of $25,000. Mr. Nuckolls has been the Superintendent of the Slielbyville works for several years and has brought them to the highest point of perfection. He is a thorough business man, perfectly honest in his dealings and always courteous and accommodating. We are glad to see him promoted to the position of receiver and feel sure that the business of the company will proceed the same as before and our people will suffer no inconvenience by reason of the change.

THE MORTON CLUB.

An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Tuesday Night—Stirring Speeches Made by W. A. Kico and William

Bromley, Senior.

The Morton Club held an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday at its club rooms on Washington street. President Bandel presided: Twelve new members were admitted, and among the number two Democrats. Wm. Bromley, Sr., being called upon delivered one of his old time Republican speeches full of fire and vinegar. Loud calls were then made for Wm. A. Rice, of North Union, who delivered a ringing speech which created the loudest of applause and great enthusiasm. Altogether it was a most excellent meeting. Next Tuesday night the club will be addressed by a former Democrat who will make his maiden Republican speech. The gentleman referred to has always been a Democrat and has never voted any other ticket, but this year intends to vote the Republican ticket and next Tuesday evening will give his reasons for his change of heart. Let the hall be crowded to see and hear this gentleman.

MACE THOROUGHLY AROUSED.

The Largest 1'olitical Gathering Ever Held In the Town to Hear Faris and Moore.

Special to The Journal. MACE, October 17.—G. W. Faris, candidate for Congress, spoke here last night to the largest and most atten tive audience ever was known to be present at any political gathering in Mace. Long before night people began coming into town, all anxious to see the man who would succeed Brookshire. Joint Repi'esentative Moore was with him, and they were kept busy shaking hands and entertaining callers several hours before going to the hall. Mr. Faris presented the present de pressed condition, the cause of it, and the remedy, in a clean, concise and convincing manner so that the most partisan could not object to his business like reasoning.

One encouraging feature was the great number of prominent Democratic farmers present.

Bed Men In Session.

The Red Men of the State have been in session at Indianapolis this week. The total number of tribes now active in Indiana is 141. The amount in the in the wampum belt at the last report was $21,620.07. During the last great sun $63,: 18.12 has been received. Current expenses for the year have been $52,277,515. For relief of brothers $15,890.60 has been paid for the burial of the dead $2,826.29 for the relief of widows and orphans $726.41. The degree of Pocahontas, the woman's division of the order, has a membership of 2,490. The total number of tribes of this degree is 52. The reports from other States show that the Order of

Red Men has neither gained nor lost during the last year. A decrease in the Southern States has been offset by an increase to the East.

Goes to Lebanon.

C. T. Darnall has purchased a livery business in Lebanon and took possession of it Thursday. Mr. Darnall will not remove his family, however, until after the election. Mr. Darnall has hosts of friends here who keenly regret to see him leave. He is not only a thorough going livery man but is a pleasant and accommodating gentleman.

THE Big Store is showing more fine and novelty Dress Goods than any house of its size in the State. This accounts for the splendid trade Bischof is enjoying.

An Epidemic of Enthusiasm

That's what it is. It broke out last week when we made our fall announcement and placed on sale our new fall stock at about 20 per cent less than same quality of goods were ever offered in a regular line of merchandise. Every reader of our ad came to see us. Everybody passing stopped. Some folks thought it was a mistake—wrong placards over the goods. Others didn't stop to ask any questions—just quickly said: "I'll take eight yards of that," "Give me that pattern," etc., etc. It was not "just a bit of luck" on their part. It would not be "just luck" on your part. There is no "just luck" about our business. Everything we say, everything we show you as bargains are premeditated, are natural results of certain causes. Those causes -are strict adherence to our business principles, viz: Close watch over the markets, careful buying that we may not have undesirable goods to offer, buying of first hands for cash, selling for the very least we can, believing in the motto, "Large sales and small profits," and last but not least, thoroughly advertising our offerings, and then always having just what we advertise. In this way we have gained the confidence and good will of almost every man, woman and child in Montgomery county and many in adjoining counties, which enables us to do the largest business in this section, and this in turn not only enables but compels us to buy more goods than all our competitors and we buy them cheaper. Therefore it is not "just luck" but results of sound business principles that enables you to buy goods of us cheaper than from any house in the county. We again remark:

It Pays to Trade at the Big Store.

We have watched the markets close enough to secure the following bargains in Dress Goods and Silks. They can ot be a ated and will not last long, so don't put off your buying until next week, it may be too late, come at once

CLOAKS AND FURS.

As usual we are ready with the largest and best stock of Cloaks in the city and equal to any in the State. We show the popular styles in Cloth Capes and Jackets, including the popular Golf Cape, and on fine and medium quality Fur Garments we are head and shoulders above competition. We carry no trash in this line, so don't buy until yo* have examined our line.
