She Tears Off Her Clothes anil Does the Dance Act On tlie Monon Track at Linden. jg

Last Friday the residents of Linden were rather startled at the antics of a strange woman who entered town like a cold rush. She pranced about the streets for a short season and then going out on the Monon track divested herself of all her outer clothing and proceeded to give a rattling dance. It was quite evident the poor creature was demented so the proper authorities laid hands upon her and brought her to the Crawfordsville jail. She was very violent and tore all her clothing off in her wild delirium. She proved to be Mrs. Carrie Clark, of North Lafayette, and in the afternoon Sheriff Gaddis of Tippecanoe county with some of Mrs. Clark's relatives arrived and took charge her.

Tea Casey to the Front.

When Wabash went against Notre Dame the other day at foot ball she found one player on the Notre Dame team who was more trouble than any other three. This man was righteruard Casey, whose terrific line bucking did everything, toward securing victory for Notre Dame, lie scored nearly every touchdown and made all the big gains that were made through the Wabash line. The slogan of the enthusiastic students of Notre Dame was "Casey." And the name seemed all powerful. In the thick of the game one dried up old brother, about as big as a peewee, tucked up his long gown under his arm and jumping over the ropes shouted wildly: "Ah! Mister Casey, you're a broth of a b'y! Shure and ye need have no lissons for a whole month!"

This mighty Casey is the son of Tim Casey, of Crawfordsville, the wellknown brick yard man. Ted attended Wabash in the Prep, department for a while, but later went to Notre Dame. He has the making of one of the finest foot ball players in the country.

Miss l,ee Wins the Cake.

Terre Haute Express: The young ladies of Coates College treated a large audience to a most novel entertainment given in the gymnasium of the institute last night. The performance was on the order of a female minstrel in which twenty of the young ladies took part. Their features were disguised by burnt cork and each was at attired in a most striking costume representative of old plantation days. The girls who were attired to represent men wore bloomers. The opening was a grand march which wound up with a Virginia reel. There was a cake walk, Miss Grace Lee, of Crawfordsville, receiving the cake after a second trial. Judge Taylor acted as judge and Miss Cecil Ross made the presentation address.

Tough on Tommy.

Last Saturday Mrs. Caroline Haywood, of the New Richmond neighborhood, came before the circuit court leading-her refractory son Master Tommy. The various escapades and campaigns of this masterful mischief maker have won for him the alliterative but not enviable nickname of "Tommy The Tough." Mrs. Haywood was desirous of committing the obstreperous urchin to the reform school at Plainfield and the court held that it would be a jolly good thing all around for Tommy to go. It is hoped that when he returns that he will become known as "Thomas The Trustworthy" instead of "Tommy The Tough."

A Democrat Accounts lor tlie tamlDlide. To the Editor of The Journal. Inasmuch as the cause of the defeat of the Democratic party in our last general election has not1 been given, I feel it my duty to disclose it. The Democratic party started out with the perfidy of Grover Cleveland, the audacity of Dave Hill and the wickedness of our last Congress, all upon its shoulders. Then late in the campaign another wicked train was loaded upon us—Gov. Matthews of Indiana, Gov. Stone of Missouri, and Gov. Hogg of Texas. This last wicked train made an unprovoked war upon the secret order known as the A. P. A., whose numbers are legion. "The wise shall understand." A. D. WIT,I.IS..,

Throe Worthy Republicans Succeed Three Worthy Democrats.

Three of the Republicans elected at the late county election have taken possession of their several offices. They succeed three Democrats who step down and out with the good will of all.

These new officials are honest and capable. Under their administration the welfare of the community will be carefully considered and attended:

IR. I'AUI. HARCUS, CORONER:

Death of JaiiM-H M. Buckley. •1. V. Keeriin received a dispatch lalst week from Spokane Falls announcing the dealh of his brother-in-law. J. M. Buddy, which occurred at Hot Springs. Ark., on the 14th. His ailment was rheumatism. Mr. B. commenced railroading early in the 50's by laying the track through the L.. N. A. it C. cut in this city to Ladoga. Later he became an engineer, and in the 60's took the position of roadmaster on the Kansas City, Ft. Scott and Gulf Railroad, which position he held for fifteen years. About 1880 he went with C. F. Oaks to the western coast and took charge of the west division of the Northern Pacific as General Manager. After five years in that service he resigned and built the Spokane & Northern. He leaves a wife, sister of Mr. Keeran, and three grown children.

Supreme Court Decision.

Samuel R. Stewart, Administrator, vs. James Small et al. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Ross, J.—The claim in this case against a decedent's estate with the affidavit is sufficient under the statute. 2. A promise by a parent to give to a child land in consideration of boarding, nursing, care and attention is sufficient to rebut the presumption which arises because the services were rendered while the parent was living as a member of the child's family that they were gratuitously rendered.

Kerry Culture and Other Inter?Btlug Topic**

JLHRCUHACCI.

The organization known as the Farmers' Club, composed of citizens of Franklin and Sugar Creek townships, held their first meeting at the M. E. church at Darlington, Nov. 15. A fairly good audience had assombled at 10 o'clock when K. C. llarper, the President, called the meeting to order. Short devotional exercises opened the meeting and the first topic, "Berry Culture," by F. S. Quigg. was taken up. He read a few verses from Gen. 2, and those who wondered what Adam and Eve had to do with gardening were enlightened. He gave helpful hints in regard, especially, to the cultivation of the strawberry, raspberry, and gooseberry, naming the Parker Earl as the best strawberry. M. B. Waugli then came forward and handled his subject, "How can cattle raising be made profitable to the farmer?" in an intelligent and entertaining manner, saying that the butcher's block was the end of all cattle, and urging his brother farmers to raise those breeds tlmt make the best beef. "Profits and Pleasures of

Bee-keeping," by T. N. Stokes a paper, "The Model Wife," by Miss Mary Wells, and "The Silo," by Milton Hadley, of Thorntown, were each full of information and very acceptable to the audience.

The "big dinner" which the programme announced was next in order, and those present repaired with wellfilled baskets to a convenient room and spread those dainties which grow under the magic touch of the farmer's good wife.

A larger crowd had assembled in the afternoon and the speakers were present with one or two exceptions. The reports of the committee on observation were interesting, that of Mrs. 1. U. Cox being worthy of especial mention. "What Constitutes Success on the Farm," and "Knowledge the Spring of the World's Activity and the Key to Success," by Mrs. J. A. Mount, were each well-written papers.

If we might offer a criticism it was that the meeting was not sufficiently well advertised, and that some of the papers were too lengthy for a meeting of that kind, as a fifteen minute speech is generally concluded to be sufficient.

At night the house was well filled, and all were well entertained, first by a paper. "Farm Dairying" by Albert Mullen, who successfully superintends a small dairy. Miss Olga Fall's recitation was appropriate and Mrs. Geo. Gouser rendered a beautiful solo. The 1 last topic, "The Outlook For the I Farmer," by J. A. Mount, was full of encouragement and information and formed a fitting close for what proved a most successful meetinsr.

Still After Frank Kistlcr.

The Logansport papers are still after Frank Kistler. Frank ran for Prose eutor of Cass county this fall and was defeated. The Saturday Review Dub lislies the following which it credits to Mr. Kistler's versatile pen: All, distinctly 1 renumber, It was In tlio cli!ll

Death of J. H. Carnine.

Mr. J. II. Carnine died at his home in Albina, Friday, Nov. 2, after a lingering illness. He was formerly engineer of the Parker saw mill, and had re sided in Albina for a number of years Mr. Canine was 70 years old, and leaves a widow a.nd one son. The remote cause of his death was the amputation of his foot some years ago, for disease of the bone. The operation was per formed in the hope that further pro gress of the disease might be stopped but the removal of tlie foot did not wholly eradicate tlie seeds of the dis ease and a second amputation became necessary. His age and weakness were against him and he continued to sink until death released him from his great suffering.—Portland Orcyontan.

J. H. Carnine was a brother of R. Carnine and went to Oregon about five years ago.

ii-fiijisWar In the Camp. Veedereburg News: To read the differ ent Democratic papers of Montgomery county a person would be led to be lieve that the party or the papers was in a terrible fix. They condemn each other, censure party leaders, praise and cuss in equal proportions that all do except the Review, which we never see and are only left to presume that it says nothing.

NEW ROSS DEPOT BURNED.

lie Big Four Station In AntieB—Fire Canght From a Defective Flue.

Special to The Journal. NEW Ross, Nov. 19.—The Big Four tation was burned to the ground yesterday at 1 o'clock. J. G. Hurt, the company's agent, was returning from dinner and when within a block froir the station he saw smoke bursting1 forth from the lattice work and roof. He immediately sent in an alarm and in a short time fully three hundred people were out ready to aid in the fight. By this time the fire was too far along to be conquered, the roof was a solid sheet of fire, sending fire brands all over the north end. Several houses took fire and were put under guard and the tire extinguished. Willing hands soon cleared everything out of the burning station of any value except the money drawer, which contained about fourteen dollars in small coin belonging to the express and

Western Union Telegraph Companies. The loss is about $300. The origin of the fire was from a defective flue as the entire upper part of the house was burned off before the lower part took tire. The company put off a box car for an office till anew station could be put up.

A Kare Opportunity.

Persons wishing to obtain the Frank Leslie illustrated war scenes are presented a rare opportunity to secure them dirt cheap. Last Spring THH JOUKNAI. got a large number of the books on hand and disposed of several hundred of each series. We were unfortunately stuck on quite a number of the books, howeyer, and we desire to close them out at once and in order to do this we will sell the entire ten ok he it if cents. Only the entire sets will be sold. This is just one-half the original price which was cheap and is away below cost. We are anxious to close these books out at once.
