NOT THERE, MY CHILD, NOT THERE!

Mr. Taylor, of South Dakota, Wasn't Just Exactly Where Mr, Overton, of Indiana, Thought He Was.

"So he came back to tbe town of Hacksensack With a little bunch of whiskers on his chin." Well, the great Taylor bubble, like the famous South Sea bubble, has "busted" and not even a thin spray marks its place. It has been consigned to a prominent niche in the museum of huge jokes where it stands side by side with the Edna Brown postage stamp fake of Kaneville, 111.

Mr. Overton was mistaken in his conclusions as to the whereabouts of Mr. Taylor and that's the long and short of it—particularly the short as Mr. Overton is short the §2,000 reward he expected and also his telegraphic and railroad expenses. Mr. Overton had located Mr. Taylor in Rensselaer at the home of Tom McCoy, who married Taylor's sister. Several little incidents led Mr. Overton to this belief. It appears that a couple of Lafayette traveling men told him last Sunday that they knew that a Lafayette doctor was going to Rensselaer every night and returning the same night. He was presumably going up to treat the ill and hiding Taylor. There were other little incidents and—well, Mr. Overton probably got a little bit excited.

Mr. Overton -kept his destination a profound secret last Friday when he left town with a big policeman whose presumable province was to hold and choke Taylor when they caught him until the almighty attorney-general of South Dakota arrived with an ax.

ORAWTOEDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1895-TWELVE PAGES

It was ascertained, however, beyond all doubt that Mr. Taylor was not in Rensselaer or in any of the adjacent bogs or swamps. Tom McCoy's house is open all over and scores of neighbors had been visiting there as usual and going through all the rooms. The presence of Taylor could not be kept secret in so small a town and so open a house. He was not there and had not been there. A Lafayette doctor had paid two or three visits to Mrs. McCoy, who was sick, but that was all. It was merely a mistake and we all know that "Mistakes are apt to happen In the best of families,"

And the strictest folks forget their punctualities. 'Tis a good old rhyme to square yourself. To set a fellow right, "Mistakes are apt to happen In the best of families."

A Pleasant Affair.

A pleasant little episode occurred at the home of Aunt Eunice Armstrong, Saturday, Jan. IS, three miles south of New Market. Mrs. A. was born in Ohio in 1811 and came to this county when only 14 years old, with her father, Robert Pottinger. They settled in the same neighborhood where she now lives, she having spent her life time there. When a young woman she was married to James Brush. After raising a family she was left a widow. She again married Thomas Armstrong, with whom she lived happily for a number of years. In the year 1869 she was again left alone. Last Saturday morning her children, grandchildren and a number of friends and relatives began pouring in upon her loaded down with good things to eat and other things useful as well as ornamental. It finally began to dawn upon her that it was her 84th birthday and that she was in the midst of a birthday surprise. It was a gala day to all intersted. x.

Both Indicted.

Logansport Journal: Harry Worden and Riley Ellis, the two men who almost killed Warren Kncwles, of Crawfordsville, Sunday night, have been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder.

Two indictments were returned, one against Worden and Ellis jointly, the other against Worden alone. The papers were served on the two prisoners yesterday at the jail by Deputy Smith. Worden still keeps up his assumption of ignorance of what he did Sunday night. His father claims to have no means with which to fight his son's battle in the courts, and it is also known that Harry Worden is without money with which to hire an attorney.

Knowles is still alive and hopes are entertained of his recovery.

That County Line Road.

There was a joint meeting of the boards of commissioners of Tippecanoe and Montgomery counties here Monday relative to the county line gravel road. It appears that the original assessment was not large enough to complete the work and a new assessment was made. At the time of the original assessment Mr. Byers, of this county, insisted that it be larger, holding that if more was assessed than was needed it need not be collected. His advice was unheeded by the Tippecanoe people and now the additional expense of a new assessment is incurred.

FOR PRACTICING WITHOUT 4 LICENSE

Harry Adams Arrested at the Instigation of Dr. Leech, of the Board of Health.

Harry Adams, a paralytic, who has been living in the old Sloan property on Market street for some months past, was brought before Judge Harney Saturday to answer to the charge of practicing medicine without a license. The charge was brought by Dr. Leech, secretary of the Board of Health.

Before going before the court Adams stated to THE JOURNAJ, that he was wholly innocent. He declared that he never wrote prescriptions or treated patients by feeling their pulse or having them stick their tongues out. He said all his trouble was caused by the jealousy of Dr. Linn, of New Richmond, whose wife he cured of some disease or other. Adams stated that he merely manufactured several medicines and sold them to sufferers.

When the accused was brought before the court he was backed by Asa Pickerill, of Garfield. Judge Harney heard his story and allowed him to go until some time later on when the case will come up for disposition. Adams has several letters from Dr. Linn, which, he says, will open people's eyes a little.

Handsomely Entertained.

Last Saturday evening the Hit and Miss Club were handsomely entertained by Miss Eva Miller, of Ladoga. As it was extremely cold the club went down on the afternoon train and took up quarters at the Cottage Grove Avenue Hotel, styling themselves the "Zudorff Comedy Company." This gave the company plenty of time to prepare their costumes, comb the tangles out of their wigs and wax their eyebrows and French goatees before repairing to Miss Miller's. The light opera spent much of the afternoon singing "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye," "A Little Bunch of Lilacs" and similar late and catchy airs while the heavy villian daubed the required amount of black grease paint under his eyes.

It was understood from the invitations that "Mum" was the word till after dinner at 7 o'clock. On reaching Miss Miller's the company was motioned by silent sentinels to separate waiting rooms. Miss Miller was assisted in receiving by Miss Flora Burton and Mr. and Mrs. Hostetter, but no word was spoken. The ladies were then motioned to one room and the gentleman to another. As many ribbons of different colors were placed under the door as their were ladies. Each lady and gentleman selected one and the door was opened. The ribbons were tied into scores of knots. The hostess appeared with a hand blackboard on which was written "No dinner till knots are untied." More than an hour was consumed in untying the knots. It goes without saying that the gentlemen were almost famished and the young ladies were so tired because they had to go so long without talking. It was an awful ordeal.

The collation was faultless. The dining room was beautifully decorated with flowers. Numerous schemes were introduced during the latter part of the dinner hour, which made the repast doubly enjoyable. Lettuce was one of the many things served. Each one selected his own on which was pinned a fortune that called forth roars of laughter. The fun was without end and the "Zudorff Comedy Company" have a new song which they now sing in praise of Miss Miller of Ladoga.

Forty-Fourth Annlversity.

January 24 was the forty-fourth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Davis, Jr., and the affair was royally observed at their home on east Jefferson street. A family dinner of the most elaborate and approved style was served and nearly lifty people partook of the bounty. The day was delightfully passed and the anniversary was, indeed, a happy one.

Moore-Tapp.

Robert E. Moore, of Irvington, Ind., and Miss Hortense Tapp, of Ladoga, were married at 4 p. m. Saturday by Rev. Kerr at his residence in this city. Mr. Moore has had charge of the construction of the Brazil extension of the C. & S. E. Ry., and is a son of General Superintendent Moore of that railroad. Miss Tapp lias been a milliner for the past year at Rockville.

Nixon Released.

The case against Marshall Nixon, indicted for perjury, was dismissed last Friday by Prosecutor Moffett. It was ascertained that the witnesses -would not testify as they did before the grand jury so the case went by the boards.

NEW FLORISTS.

George Steele and JofT McDonald Will Erect a Row of Green Houfuta and Grow Blooming Plants.

Jeff McDonald and George Steele will go into the floral business on a scale never before attempted in Crawfordsville. They have purchased a tract of land on west Wabash avenue in Longview and will early in the Spring erect a row of green houses for the propagation of blooming plants. They have had the matter under consideration for some time and have carefully investigated its details and circumstances. The land is purchased and they are now on the hunt of an experienced and up to date florist as manager. They have received letters from scores and will make a very careful selection. They will erect two houses each 50 by 120 feet in March, and two or three others of the same dimensions during the Summer also a boiler house and other necessary buildings. The plant will be distinctly modern, with all the latest improvements and conveniences and the firm will go into business on a large scale. They will specialize on roses, carnations and chrysanthemums and will also carry palms and a few other plants. The stock secured to start with will be carefully selected and will comprise only the most exquisite prize winners. At present the great bulk of flowers used in Crawfordsville and vicinity are shipped in. Messrs. Steele and McDonald intend to more than supply the Crawfordsville trade and not only keep the flower money in town but bring foreign coin here. The flowers, too, will have the advantage of being perfectly fresh, being cut on the day of use. Orders can be filled on short notice and Crawfordsville can enjoy a luxury she has never been privileged to enjoy before. The enterprise is certainly a popular one and commends itself to the public.

THEY GUARD THE GRAVE,

The Family of the Late S. A. K. Beach Fearful of Resurrectionists.

On January 23 the mortal remains of the late S. A. R. Beach were laid to rest in the beautiful Meharry burying ground, of which he was one of the stockholders and promoters. But he is not left alone, even in death, for a constant watch is kept over his grave. It is feared by the family of Mr. Beach that an attempt will be made by ghouls to steal the remains for dissecting purposes. Mr. Peach's death was the result of a peculiar ailment and no post mortem was held. As he died in Indianapolis the medical fraternity and colleges of that city were familiar with the facts. It is well known that the resurrection agents of the Indianapolis colleges scruple at nothing in securing subjects for the students and as their ghoulish operations have been completely shut off in Indianapolis they are now carrying on their nefarious business over the State.

If any of these ghouls attempt to operate at Meliarry's they will meet with a terriole reception.

Mr. Mount On Scientific Farming.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Ex-State Senator James A. Mount of Montgomery county was at the Grand last night. He is on a tour of the State lecturing before farmers' institutes. He is under the direction of the faculty of Purdue University. The law under which he is engaged was passed in 1889, when an appropriation of $5,000 was made for an institute of farmers, to be held in each county, between Nov. 1 and March 1. The faculty of Purdue selects a list of lecturers and each county chooses from the list. Ex-Senator Mount was selected by 'twenty-six counties, twice as many as chose any other one man. lie is an enthusiast on the subject of scientific farming, and he has cause to be, for scientific principles applied to the business have made him wealthy. Jfe owns 500 acres of as line land as can be found in Indiana, and lives in a house that is a farm palace. He has attained these results in less than thirty years, beginning on nothing. He says his land is richer to-day than when first broken and produces more than ever before, and he declares that by continuing to farm it on scientific principles it will grow richer all the time, lie says the time has passed when a farmer can make money by mere manual labor with his crops it requires brains as well.

The present legislature will be asked for an additional appropriation. The attorney-general has -decided that the appropriation of §5,000 is continuous, but this is considered too small. Wisconsin has 312,000 for sixty-four counties Ohio has 810,000 for sixty-seven counties.

PART FIRST

HICKS FOR FEBRUARY.

His Monthly Menu of Storms, Blizzards and Ice Cold Disasters.

Storm and storm conditions originating in the west during the last days of January, will end on the Atlantic about February 2d and the change to colder will have advanced behind the storms across the country. About the 5th and Otli, there will be a return to the storm condions. It will grow warmer rain with lightning «and thunder will .visit sections southward, turning to snow toward the north. The Mars disturbance, as shown by the storm diagram, is central on the 7th, which fact promises a continuation of stormy weather, with only slight modification, into the regular storm period running from the 9th to 13tli. The most violent disturbances of this period, in all probability, will fall on or near the date of the full moon. Remembering the fearful gales, storms and cold wave that attended the full moon in perigee on the 11th of January, we have an incentive to watch the same combination, with other causes added, on or about the 9th of this month. Heavy electrical storms, with violent wind and rain, will visit many sections, especially southward, during this period. The rains will turn to snow in most parts of the country, and a cold wave of dangerous intensity and magnitude will rush over the land as the storm areas move out eastward.

About the 17th to 18th, a general change to warmer will take place followed promptly by the eastern march of storm forces. The reactionary disturbances will fall near the center of the Venus period and with the influence of the earth's Vernal equinox, the waning power of Mars and the growing intensity of Jupiter. A high barometer and very cold dash from the northwest will follow the storms, but it will grow very warm again as we enter the storm period extending from the 20th to 25th. Tornadoes need not astonish anyone, in the central and southern parts of the country, say about the 22nd to 24th. Neither should blizzards at the same time to the north overtake any unprepared. General cold will prevail over most parts of the country from about the 25th to 27th. The month will end growing warmer, with reactionary storm forces beginning in the west.

Mr. Overton Returns.

John G. Overton has returned from Rensselaer and reports a pleasant although not exactly a profitable visit. He did not find Mr. Taylor or any trace of him. He is inclined, however, to believe that Taylor was in Rensselaer until he learned that Mr. Overton was on his trail, whereupon he took the wings of the morning and flew to the uttermost parts of the earth.

The following dispatch from Pierre, S. D. shows how the people out there swallowed the fake:

The people about the Capitol have been throbbing with excitement all day over certain developments in the Taylor case, which general belief said were of large importance. On Wednesday night there came to the Chief of Police a letter from John G. Overton, of Crawfordsville, Ind. Overton claims to be an ex-County Superintendent, and gave a number of references, telling the officer he might verify them by wire. He stated that at the time of Taylor's disappearance he went to his father's home in Lafayette, seriously sick that his friends, fearing for his safety, in view of his exposure, spirited him away from there and took him to the home of a mutual friend Crawfordsville, Ind., where he has since been eoncealed, and where he is still very seriously ill. The letter stated that Overton was well acquainted with Taylor and his family, and that he was in a position to deliver him to the officers.

The police have communicated with Attorney General Crawford, who took immediate steps to verify it, and communicated the substance of the letter to the Eastern Dectective Agency, which is handling the ease. Yesterday Mr. Crawford had drawn requisition papers in blank, which were signed by the Governor and left with tlie Secretary of State. Mr. Crawford left for the East on the night train, and all State officials declare that he went for the purpose of apprehending Tayor.

1'iivute Opinion Made Public.

E. C. Noland:—"I think THE JOURNAL, ought to agitate extending the city limits until something is done. I live in Longview and while that corporation used to be violently opposed to annexation, sentiment has changed and 1 am sure a very large majority of the citizens there would vote to come in. We want sidewalks, improved streets and above all fire protection."
