A BAD EGG.

Frank Yeagley Jailed For Home Stealing— A Vicious Young Criminal AA'ithout a Redeeming Trait.

Frank Yeagley has added another crime to the formidable list ivhich have made his name a by-word and a reproach wherever he is known. Last Thursday he was jailed atLafayette for stealing John McClamrock's horse and Dr. llutchings' sleigh. The reckless young rascal coolly drove into a Lafayette livery stable that day at 10:30 o'clock and put up. He then set out to visit the saloons and houses of ill fame, the only places where he is perfectly at home and at ease. Soon after his arrival the Lafayette police received notification from here of the theft and after securing the rig set out in search of Yeagley. He was arrested in alow resort and pitched into jail like any other vicious bum. Mr. McClamrock upon arriving in Lafayette Thursday learned that his horse was safe and at once started the rig home.

That night officer Bannister went north to Lafayette and returned on Friday with Yeagley who now ornaments a cell in the Crawfordsville jail. Yeagley refuses to talk of his crime further than to say that he was drunk. He was sober enough, however, to commit a clever theft and get clear away with the stolen property.

There is not a word of sympathy or good to be said in behalf of this fellow. He has outraged every law of decency and self respect for so long that he is totally depraved. He hesitates at the commission of no crime and there are few, indeed, which cannot be laid at his door. He te now under §300 bond at Anderson and the fact that Anderson has a prior claim will be all that will prevent him from being sent to the penitentiary from here.

He should have been landed behind the bars years ago and would have been had not suffering and indulgent relatives sacrificed their property to show him mercy time after time. Bui, graceless and ungrateful, vicious and criminal, he has continued his career of depravity and crime and must now suffer. Everybody condemns and no one pities him.

At Kest.

Died, at his home in Fairfield, Iowa, Milton, oldest son of Hezekiah and Maggie Alexander, in the twenty-ninth year of his age. Deceased was a native of this county, having gone to Iowa about four years and married there an estimable young lady by the name of Hattie Galier. They had no children to bless their union. He leaves besides a father and mother, one brother and two sisters, a little girl of eight summers by a former marriage, and a devoted wife who never shrank from her duty and was a great comfort in his hours of great affliction. He came to his death by injuries received two years and a half ago by being thrown from a horse. He was engaged in a thriviving business having a music store and sewing machine agency in which he was doing a good business. Although surrounded with every earthly comfort and all that loving hands could do and having the best medical aid he had to submit to the inevitable and lay down a young and useful life, to be mourned by a host of friends, but we mourn not as those without hope as he left evidence that he was going to a better life beyond. His last words were to his wife, "A little longer dear, and I will be at rest," and just as he breathed his last he said, "It is well, it is well with my God," and sank in Jesus. -His was of a sunny disposition, always having a cheery greeting for all, and when his frame was racked with pain he never murmured and always met his friends with a smile of welcome. Dear one we misss you much and while the grave has closed around one who is near and dear t© us all we feel that his dear spirit is with us and while pain is lingering our hearts are breathing forth in the wavering breezes, "1 am not lost but gone before."

At linden,

The high school girls who presented "Love's Labour Lost" at Linden Saturday evening had a very pleasant and successful engagement. The house was crowded by the citizens of Linden and the region round about and the play was well received. Linden demonstrated that her appreciation of the "many sided, myriad minded Shakespeare" is gilt edged and applauded the talent to the echo. The company of players was delightfully entertained at the home of B. B. Rusk, and after the show participated in a dance at the hall. The young ladies cleared about 812 on the entertainment and won wreaths of unfading laurel.

BRIGHT BOY.

The Scientific Kxueriment of llr. William Austiu, of Now Iticlimond, Knds Disastrously.

Mr. Wm. Austin is along haired scientist who resides at New Richmond. He is fond of original research and investigation and to keep the wolf from the door while he labors in the interest of humanity he operates a saloon. Some few have been unkind enough to insinuate that he has carried his science into the manufacture of his wares and that his whisky is a purely scientfiic preparation of blue vitrol, vinegar and pond water. This, however, is false.

Last Friday Mr. Austin learned with regret that the ilue of his stove was stopped up, causing smoke to fill the room. Some of the loafers suggested that the pipe be taken down and cleaned but the scientific head of Mr. Austin rose supreme to the occasion. No such labor was necessary. He went out and purchased half a pound of gunpowder, and stuffed this into the stove confidently expecting to hear a slight puff and then see the dirt which was in the stovepipe and chimney wafted heavenward. There was a puff and the dirt was wafted. But the puff wasn't slight nor the waft heavenward. The waft was distinctly lateral and included not only the dirt but the stove, the pipe and all the loafers sitting around. Fire was scattered all around and the place burned to the ground. The loss is about

Which Shall It Be.

A special from Indianapolis says: A spirited controversy is on between the friends of the late General Manson and the relations of ex-Governor Whitcomb as to which of those great historic characters shall represent the Mexican war on the empty pedestal in Monument Place. Governor Matthews, who takes a great pride in preserving the family greatness, is pursuing every effort to have the memory of his wife's father perpetuated in that way, but the Indianapolis friends of the deceased General Manson say that they will fight for him to the bitter end. General Manson had long been considered as the available character to be delineated in the beautiful sculptured statue that remains to be made. He was a brave, courageous hero, who fought gallantly on the plains of the Montezumas. and those who advocate his cause claim that it is rank presumption in the Governor to assert the claims of ex-Governor Whitcomb. To-day a resolution was introduced in the House directing those who had charge of the erection of the monument to choose Governor Whitcomb as the representative of the Mexican war period. The resolution is said to have ^'nanated from Governor Matthews. It was referred to a special committee of three and will be strongly battled for and against.

GEN. HANSON'S SUCCESSOR

Will Not Ho Named Till It Is Seen What the Legislature Will Do.

Indianapolis Journal: Influences have been at work to induce the Statehouse officials who have the electing of a successor to General Manson to fill the vacancy at once, but members of the Legislature suggested yesterday that it would be best to await the result of the caucus action to abolish the commission. Mr. Owen says it was the request of General Manson before his death that Major Mulkey, of Bloornington, should be appointed. The friends of other candidates say that while the request of the deceased member is entitled to respect, the monument ought to pass into the hands of younger men, who can be depended upon to be present at the board meetings. Much delay has been occasioned by the inability of members to be present and attend to their duties. Captain Johnston, who was a valuable member inohealth, is not able to attend by reason of illness which keeps him in Florida. Governor Matthews said yesterday that he would soon call a meeting of the officers who constitute the commission.

A PITIABLE STORY.

The Family of an Old Soldier Starving and Freezing in Northern KIIUHHH.

Charles L. Gilbert, who was a 6oldier in Co. 13, 8th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, now lives near Woodruff, Phillips county, Kansas, lie is making an application for a pension through Travis & Brown, of this city. Last week this firm received a letter from their client and the story of suffering he narrates is truly pathetic. Among other things he says:

My family is in a starving condition and nearly naked. I have got to the point where I must apply to somebody else outside of the Government for assistance. I thought perhaps you were living in a land of plenty, and being comi*ades that you might do something in the way of subscriptions toward helping myself and family through the Winter. We have had a great deal of sickness and have buried three of our children. We still have seven in family to starve and go without clothing unless we get help somewhere. VVe have been here five years and have not raised a crop as yet. If in any way we can raise money enough we will get out of here in the Spring. If you should not have the time or opportunity to try and raise a subscription in your town for a comrade in distress please hand this to some other comrade whom you think would do so. Whatever you may do, be it ever so little, will be thankfully received.

Messrs. Travis & Brown have undertaken the task of collecting a box of clothing and other necessaries to send to this comrade in distress. Anything left at their office will be forwarded to Mr. Gilbert, with the freight to be prepaid by them.

liound Over.

Last Friday afternoon Frank Yeagley was yanked up before Mayor Bandel for a preliminary hearing on the charge of horse stealing. He waived examination and was committed to jail in default of a $500 bond. The young man's father was in the city but flatly refused to have anything to do with his graceless son. No one blames him. Frank has already cost him thousands of dollars by his rascality and it is time to call a halt. He has had chances innumerable and abused them all. Young Yeagley's fate should serve as a warning to two or three of his cronies who have likewise been knocking at the prison doors. There is a limit to all tolerance.

The Begosli Bogers.

After a brief and pitiful sojourn in double harness Mrs. Nettie Toney Boger ambles into the court with a divorce suit against Charles Boger, the annointed and well beloved son of Aunt Sally Boger. The epitahalanium of this excellent young couple was the din of domestic war and it was kept merrily up through the honeymoon. When they settled down to married life there were two prominent candi dates for speaker of the house, and as each had control of half the votes there was a deadlock which was anything but dead. It has proved exliilaratingly alive and the only way it can be broken is for Judge Harney to reach over the bench and give it a rousing old whack with the judicial meat ax.

That Ox.

It is not to be wondered at when certain people buy Chicago cold storage meat in preference to some of the stuff that is thrown out from some of the Crawfordsville meat markets. A case developed the other day which is entertaining. For twelve years an old white ox was used by a farmer near here to haul a traction engine about the country. This fall the beast broke down and as he could no longer navigate he was fed for a season on slops and last week brought to Crawfordsville and sold to a butcher for beef. Did you get a chunk of this venerable relic-.'

Knocked Out.

The long and tedious damage suit of Mrs. Mary Jones against John C. Goodbar came to a close Friday with a suddeness which evidently had not been calculated uyon by Barrister Bachelor, of the Ladoga bar, when lie drew up that voluminous and foxy complaint. The complaint went to the jury and the jury made short work of it. They found for the defendant in five minutes' time and that wound the thing up in proper shape. Mrs. Jones wanted S3,000 damages because, as she alleged, Goodbar pointed a gun at her.

For Fair Week.

Manager Townsley is endeavoring to secure the Gladys Wallis company for fair week next September and he will probably succeed. The attraction would be an unusually attractive one for a four night's stand and would insure success.

IN TROUBLE.

Ike Drake, the Colored Litigant, Gets Into Cash Drawer and Great Trouble at the Same Time.

Ike Drake is in trouble up to his neck and it is likely that his great damage suit against the Monon will come to an untimely end or else that Ike will testify by deposition from the northern pen.

When Ike sued the Monon and got S250 damages he came to the conclusion that no man had rights which he was bound to respect and when a new trial was granted in the cause Ike found himself under the painful necessity of raising cash with which to play craps until the railroad disgorged. The money market was rather tight and the affable Ike did not find the garnering of coin as easy as picking up snow balls. On Saturday evening, however, he entered Hale's restaurant and when no one was by to hinder he very considerately cleaned out the cash drawer. He received about $7 for his pains and departed in great glee. The cash was immediately missed and, strange as it may seem, suspicion fel! on the immaculate Ike. Officer Grimes was soon on his trail and quickly landed him. Ike acknowledged the theft and turned over the money. He was, then deposited in the body of the jail where he now repines. Ike has served one term in the pen before and will be welcomed back as a prodigal son by the authorities. It is rumored that the Monon road will supply him with a free pass to Michigan City.

A GOOD DAYT"

KIKI of the District V. M. O. A. Conference—A Great Opportunity.

Sunday was a Young Men's Christian Association day in this city, and one that will be gladly remembered by the many friends and members of that institution. The special programme of the district conference was carried out, the visiting delegates occupying the pulpits of all the churches at the morning service hour, and addressing other meetings in the afternoon and evening. The breadth and thoroughness of Young Men's Christian Association work was emphasized to the Christian people by those who spoke, and the meetings and addresses have added greatly to the knowledge of many people here, as to the magnificent work the Y. M. C. A. is doing, in this State and county and throughout the world.

The crisis in the life of our local association was taken up and spoken of in a straightforward way, and thosa upon whose hearts the present condi-, tion of affairs has been a heavy burden, are much encouraged by the thought that the people of this city understand their opportunity and their duty more clearly, perhaps, than they have before, by reason of the things that were said Sunday.

The afternoon meetings at Center* church and the association were well attended. In the evening the congregations united at the Christian and M. E. churches and were addressed by State Secretary Stacy, Secretaries Hildreth, of Indianapolis Jamison, of Terre Haute Mr. Pitkin, and other delegates. At 9 o'clock the two meetings united at the Methodist church where the farewell service was conducted by the State Secretary. Remarks were made by the resident pastors, officers of the local associations, and the visiting State committeemen, delegates and secretaries.

The conference has been a most successful and profitable one to all concerned, and will strengthen the Y. M. C. A. work at many points through its influence. The organization of this district was completed at the meeting embracing the ten counties of Fountain, Montgomery, Parke, Putnam, Vigo, Clay, Vermillion, Owen, Sullivan and Greene.

The district headquarters will be at lerrc Haute, and the executive committee is composed of .1. W. Landrum, Terre Haute, President Rev. Fred R. Rosebro, Covington Tully C. Crabbs, Crawfordsville Verling W. Helm, DePauw University, and Chas. B. Jamison, Terre Haute, Secretary.

OFFIKL.

A string band has been organized at this place with James Weir as leader. Ora Busenbark, of Beech Grove, took Miss Gussie Barnliart out riding last Sunday week. When near the residence of Lli Nicholson the horse began to plunge and kick and threw the occupants to the ground. Miss Barnhart was slightly hurt. The horse got loose from the sleigh and ran quite a distance south before it was captured. This* horse has a history as a runaway. It is the same one that ran away and threw Mr. Cohoon out of the bug-gy with such serious results last spring. It also kicked a buggy to pieces for Joseph Douglass soon after and only a few weeks ago came near killing George King and Henrv Dougrlass, of Garfield.
