At the conclusion of the service an earnest prayer was offered by Dr. Tucker and the wedding party passed out headed by the bride and groom, the Mendelssohn march being played. The party paused at the door for the benediction and at its conclusion took carriages for the bride's home on east Jefferson street.

HELD UP.

Tramps Want the Exchequer of lem Cooper and Jack Clements.

Special to The Journal. WAYNETOWS, Nov. 1.—Yesterday evening, about 7 o'clock, Lem Cooper and Jack Clements, while on their way from Crawfordsville were held up by two tramps about one mile east of here and requested to divide their exchequre with them. Fortunately for the above named gentlemen they had a very wild steed and by the use of the whip they succeeded in getting away from the tramps without granting their request.

Do You Know How to Vote? Oh, yes, I know how to vote. I am going to vote the straight Republican ticket. Well, the latter is all right, but do you know how to vote so that it will be counted? It is surprising that there are so many intelligent men who do not know that at this election every voter votes three tickets. The names of the candidates for State offices are printed on red paper, the county candidates on white, the township on yellow. Every legal voter votes three ballots. Stamp in the square inclosing the eagle on each separate ballot. Fold'each one separately so that the inside of the ticket cannot be seen, and so that the initials of the polling clerk are on the outside and can be seen. Then linnd the ballots to the inspector and he will put them into the ballot box according to their color. The ballots must not be folded together.

Neat Work.

Yesterday morning three prisoners escaped from the jail at Lafayette by sawing their way out. All had grave charges resting against them. Sheriff Davis received word of the delivery yesterday and at once spread his nets to gather in any that struck this county. Last night he captured the ring leader, Taylor llobbins, who was found concealed under the bed of a friend living here. Robbins is a desperate man and attempted to escape a month ago. He is charged with grand larceny, having robbed a friend at Clark's Hill during the fair.

HALLOWE'EN.

The Ouaint Festival is Duly Celebrated in the Haosler Athens.

Hallowe'en was celebrated in Crawfordsville this year with its usual hilarious hurrah and good nature. By 7 o'clock the streets were blocked with young and old in masque besides hundreds of others who had come out to see the fun. There were many strangers in the city and all enjoyed themselves and the quaint celebration immenscU Mini and Washington streets were blocked and there was no little pusning and shoving. The best of nature prevailed, however, and the semi occasional smashing of a stiff hat by the club of a masher caused great merriment. Several of the young women and girls who were out in masque got gloriously squeezed in the jam but as everything went there was little or no kicking on their part. No one knew them and the novelty of the thing evidently struck them as simply immense. Some of the costumes were quite handsome, some grotesque and some exceedingly rocky. The street demonstration continued to rage until 10 and it was long after midnight before things quieted down. ''1VHERG ARE AVE AT?"

The following invitation issued some days ago caused, very naturally, great speculation and reaseareli:

Miss

Hallowe'en. Guess -who, assisted by

Misses Britton, Beck, Barnhill, Demorest. Ilardman, Harding, Ivrout, Moft'ett, Robinson, Talbot, Wise and Work.

Guess .where! Come there. ite The place of this entertainment was kept remarkably secret and many young men wandered several miles over town before they finally stopped at the home of Miss Lora Ewing on south Water street. That was the place sought as was evidenced by the porch decorated with Japanese lanterns and illuminated interrogation points. Within the hospitality of the evening was extended by the young ladies, all oof whom were fancifully masqued and admirably preserved their disguises. The floors were canvassed and Messrs. Townsley and Schweitzer furnished enticing inspiration to the dancers. Choice refreshments were served the guests. The interrogation was preserved throughout the evening in all the details of the unique affair which proved eminently successful.

AT SHEll WOOD PLACE.

At Sherwood Place the following young ladies entertained: Misses Jessie Lee Thompson. Katherine Campbell. Daisy Darter, Adah Somerville, Maude McMechan, Harriet Detchon, Autumn Lee, Williamette Lee, Ada Detchon, Elizabeth Ristine, Edna Dice, Helen Smith, May Kline and Jessica Lee. The ample parlors of the residence were canvassed and were also decorated in an appropriate and artistic manner. The lights were burning low aad the young ladies all attired in becoming masque costumes. The rear porch was fitted up with hammocks and couches and was a most delightful and inviting retiring place for the dancers. Here delicious puncli was served from a mammoth bowl. Prof. Eddie Brandkamp presided at the piano and provided splendid music. The dining loom was tastefully adorned aud an elaborate collation was served during the evening. The guests were handsomely entertained and the affair decidedly a hit,

HALLOWE'EN PARTY.

Wednesday at iher home on east Franklin street Miss Xorine Miller assisted by Miss Rose Ansberry entertained about thirty friends most delightfully at a Hallowe'en party. The affair introduced several quaint and pleasant features in keeping with the anniversary and the evening was most pleasantly .passed by those present. Choice refreshments were served and the spooks and spirits retired before the merry guests adjourned.

Mrs. Olinger at Darlington.

The people of Darlington are also to nave we pleasure of listening to Mrs. Olinger, the missionary from Corea, who is so highly recommended by Dr. Tucker. She will speak in the Methodist church there Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

TOMMY THE STOREKEEPER.

Ilis Tradesmanlike Aspirations are Nipped In the Bud by Policeman Martin.

1

For some years the yearning aspiration for a mercantile life, with all its responsibilities and delights, has caused the palpitating bosom of Tommy Oneil. the beau ideal of Goose Nibble, to swell and dilate like a lopsided foot ball. Tommy, who is a dear little bud of nineteen summers, finally resolved to enter the busy marts of trade. To .urther this very worthy end the young geutleman bugan operations by securing a key to Robert Whitted's east College street grocery. Wenesday while the rest of the Goose Nibblers were celebrating Hallowe'en down town the diligent Thomas turned his thoughts to business and his steps to Whitted's grocery. With a large market basket he entered by the false key and proceeded at once to take an inventory of stock, selecting such articles as suited his (esthetic taste and depositing them in the basket. He had selected about enough to start a wholesale house on the Nibble when policeman Ed Martin happened along and discovered him. In reply to the interrogatory of the sad faced copper Mr. Oneil calmly stated that he was "keeping store" for Mr. Whitted and with a most polite clerical bow inquired if the minion of the law would like to buy a ham or a sack of Hour on I sixty days' time. Officer Martin I vouchsafed no answer but very unceremoniously clapped the young man in jail, basket and all. He will go over the road dead sure. The basket con-

tained a choice assortment of chocolate drops, chewing gum, cigarettes, I plug tobacco and cove oysters, a menu, which if tackled at one sitting, would have been calculated to place the irresponsible Tommy out of the reach of sheriffs, policemen and irate grocers.

An Efficient Officer.

Considering the great effort being made by the friends of Milt McKee to secure his°election THE JOURNAL desires to speak a word in behalf of the Republican candidate, Charley Davis. And we can do so very emphatically. It is the custom to re-elect a sheriff who has made a good record his first term. Mr. Davis should certainly be elected from precedent, therefore. He has the best of claims on the office. During his administration the jail has been kept in better condition than ever before as the grand jury reports will bear witness. He has broken up the habit of toughs who were wont to come there to loaf with incarcerated fiends and has taken away all the odium of the place. Not a man ever escaped from him— something none of his predecessors could say as all lost a dozen or more. One man got away from Mr. Davis in his two years term but Mr. Davis spared no personal expense and quickly captured him. The court house work of Mr. Davis has been above criticism, and is warmly praised by all. He is the man for the place.

Another Corn Husker Accident. Wednesday afternoon Arch Martin had his hand torn almost to shreds by acorn husker. lie is selling these machines and was showing one of them to a fanner north of Wayuetown when the accident occurred. There was no surgeon near and lie drove twelve miles in the cold to Crawfordsville before his hand received the attention of Dr. Ensminger. It is probable that he will lose several lingers.

Look Out Kor ValHitliooils.

THE JOI'HNAL is informed that just on the eve of election some base falsehoods will be circulated concerning two or three of the Republican candi­

dates, to injure their chances. Look out for these aud pay no attention to them. They are simply campaign lies.

The Fifth Attraction.

The Union Lecture Course has completed its list of attractions by engaging the Baldwin Ladies Quartette for a concert, assisted by Miss Mary Vyilhite. This is a well deserved tribute to a home organization and their enter tainment will be equal to any furnished by an outside quartette.

On the morning of Oct. 2.r, just as the sun was casting its first rays of light over the beautiful earth the hearts of the people of this community were made sad by the tidings of the death of our highly esteemed neighbor and friend, Dora Ammerman.

For the benefit of those who did not' know it was a barn we will say that it had painted on it in large letters -"Laeey's Book Store."
