FOLEY AT Y0USTSV1LLE.
He insults the Intelligence of His Audience Both Democrats and Hepublicans.
YOUNTMVII,LE, Oct. 31.—The Republi cans of Ripley township like a hard, fair fight and will not kick when as sailed politically, but the employes of the woolen mill will resent any slanders aimed-at them. Michael Foley in his speech at this place made some statements which I desire to refute. He spoke sneeringly of the employes of the Yountsville woolen mills and intimated they were a pitiable set and lacking in both intelligence and morals. Among other things he said that none of them owned their own homes, except possibly one and he had it given him that they had wool in their eyes and that weavers work for cent£ an hour. Such statements are unworthy a public speaker possessing sutlacient intelligence to appear before tlie public to enlighten the people. The facts are that all the heads of families employed in the mill own their own homes or are able to own them. Some young men have paid their school expenses out of the good wages received here, and were not the beneficiaries of a 84.000 donation as Mr. Foley is. He turned red headed and almost choked with anger because there is a woolen mill here, and charged that farmers were being robbed by it. notwithstanding as good a Democrat as .lasper N.
Davidson lias said that the wool growers of this and adjoining eountics have received for years from three to five cents more for their wool than the rest of the State and gave as a reason because of the Yountsville woolen mills. He gave a detailed account of a farmer's experience at the mill which] was false from beginning to end. Ed llirt who buys the wool has never insulted any one as all know, both Democrats and Republicans, who have hud dealings with him. Mr. Foley to the contrary. No person who knows Andrew Yount will for a moment believe that he atanv time ever made threats against an employe, much less against Mr.
Jirookshire. To believe Mr. Foley one would think that Andrew Yount was as bloodthirsty as a Comanche Indian. The whole speech was coarse, abusive and false, and even disgusted the decent Democrats. YOUKTSVU.I.K.
Miss Mary Hubb Married.
Tuesday at noon at her home in Danville. 111., Miss Mary Hubb was married to Charles M. Smith. The wedding was a very quiet affair and the happy couple ivent to Chicago for a wedding trip. They will reside in Danville. Miss Hubb has been a frequent visitor here and has often accompanied the Kingfishers' Club on its outings.
WEST AM BOOE AT MACP.
West Wants tlie Democracy to Have One More Chance—BOOB on Free ltaw Material—Their Sophistry .--'jp!
Shown Up.
MACE, Oct. 29.—J. M. West and John A. Booe were out here last Saturday night to make an effort to correll the scattered Democrats of old Walnut. J. G. Johnson, after his usual apology, accepted the position of chairman. Mr. West was at once presented to the partly filled seats, as he stated, to speak from a Democratic position. He appealed to the silent few for more enthusiasm, begging them to once more have confidence in the great organization of "party perfidy and party dishonor." He said during the summer he had openly condemned their policy, but now (while under pay of the Democratic central committee) the scales had fallen from his eyes and he knew all the promises made would be fulfilled if they were given amther chance, except SI.25 for wheat. He also stated the McKinly bill only fostered millionaire manufacturers and caused the poor laboring people to pay §12,000,000 annually on sugar, while the Willson-Gorinan-Brice-Senate bill only caused them to pay $40,000,000. The last statement made the chairman hang his head and grin out of the southeast corner of his mustache.
Mr. Booe was more sanguine. He had never lost conjdence but he ruined West's speech by discussing free raw material, stated that Mr. West's millionaire .factories could make 81,000 now where under Mclvinley they only made $000. He also divided this extra profit for those heartless millionaires between the laborer, consumer, and themselves, so that all would receive $33X more on the same investment. All because raw material is now free. "Now my Democratic farmers and laborers we find in this theory there is a gain of $100 directly to the manufacturer because he gets his raw material for $100 less money and that means that somebody must sell the same amount of raw material just $100 less under the present law than they did under the McKinley law. Who are the producers of this raw material that is now made free to those factories, mills, etc.? Who performs the labor of mining the minerals, raising the grain, the pork, beef, poultry, cutting the lumber and all the material those large factories use? Does the farmer have nothing invested? Does he not employ labor to raise all his products? Does not the common laborer really produce all those articles that are now called raw material? Most certainly they do, yet under the present tariff law your labor and your' products are not worthy the notice of a Democratic Administration. And where those factories make those gains your speakers tell, you of are made from a corresponding loss to you. An ai tide taken from a Southern paper is before me now. It states that the high priced labor of the North is a menace to the continuance of cheap labor in the South that now this next session of Congress they must see that every article produced by common labor in the North must have the last safe guard removed, so all their products as raw material must come in competition with all the cheap labor of the world. Then the farmers of the North will get such low prices for their productions they will be compelled to only pay their hands the same wages the South now is paying, which is $8 per month and the hand board himself. \V. G. MCCLUUE.

ATHENIAN CONCERT COMPANY.
The Organization Perfected 'and Preparations for the Season Under Way.
We have already called the attention of our readers to the advantages of the popular concert as a means of education, and it is gratifying to us, as we feel sure it will be to all lovers of educatianl or musical progress, to learn that the large orchestra, which we have had occasion to compliment on its three late performances, is now an organization. Members and friends of the body are engaged in disposing of tickets for a series of five concerts, to be given at Music Hall, at specified dates. Now is the opportunity for the Crawfordsville public to show that they appreciate a good thing when it is presented to them. Five good concerts for one dollar—twenty-five cents apiece. About 125 tieftets were sold yesterday and with the co-operation of the people of Crawfordsville the necesBary number can be sold. This money has to be raised to secure expenses. The holders of season tickets will have the advantage of securing reserved seats for each concert a day in advance of those purchasing single admissions. The price for a single admission will be fifty cents. The dates of the concerts will probably be: December 0, January 11, February 13, March 22, April 25. The officers of the organization are
President—R. C. Smith. Vice President—Wm. Ramey. Secretary and Treasurer—Charles Lacey.
Director—Prof. Quinton. Manager—Fred Brown. Assistant Managers—R. C. Smith and Gus Rutledge.
Music Committee—Harry Ramsbrook, Fred Brown and Lee Smith.
"WINDY" EVERSON'S COUP.
He Blossoms Out as a Full Fledged Hawkshaw and Takes a Kagcal Into Camp.
The admiring friends of Windy Everson will be pleased to learn that he has been the means of putting a pretty tough citizen where the dogs are not likely to get at him for several seasons. Four or five months ago one George Livingstone arrived in this county from the far West and told thrilling tales of having been a stage driver and bonanza miner in the Rockies. He worked for Jake Troutman a while and later on for Harry Beaver, who lives near Mt. Tabor church. About a month ago he approached Windy Everson with whom he had scraped an acquaintance and proposed to him that they go in together and rob Jake Troutman's house where Livingstone knew $200 to be concealed. Windy consented to the scheme and then immediately went and informed Marshal Grimes, giving him the plot in detail. It was all arranged and the night was set, the police being prepared to station themselves in Troutman's bouse to receive Mr. Livingstone on his arrival. Somehow the thing fell through, however, and about a week ago Livingstone invited Windy to accompany him on a clover stealing raid. He had been working for Harry Beaver and Joe
Morgan, who operated the farm near Mt. Tabor, and he knew of five bushels of clover seed which was in the barn there and easy to take. Windy at once told the police and was instructed to accompany Livingstone and hold the team while Livingstone did the stealing. The robbery was planned to occurTuesday night and did occur. A livery rig was hired of Insley & Morse and the trip made to the farm. The seed were stolen and were brought into town to be left at the residence of Windy on east College street until after the election. The wagon was stopped in the alley and
Livingstone unloaded the seed and just as he finished Officers Grimes and Bannister stepped out and clapped the handcuffs on him. He almost fainted with surprise and went to jail in anything but a pleasant humor. Wednesday morning he declared that he was drunk that night and in some way got an idea into his head that the seed ought to be taken to the home of Joe Morgan who lives west of town. He intended to take them out to Joseph in the morning, of course. Before Mr. Livingstone is through he will probably get an idea.into his head that he will serve about five years in the pen He was sent back to jail Wednesday when brought before Mayor Bandel, being unable to give bail. lie is a hard case and has served time before, lie had told Windy of several robberies he had planned about town, one of them to have been at the expense of an express office. Windy is quite a hero.

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. Ererj 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, lire 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 lor 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 ean no be duplicated 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.
