CHICAGO BOORS.

They Hiss General AVallaco .Because He Does not Pander to their Prejudice*.

An associated press dispatch from Chicago says: General Lew Wallace was openly hissed several times in Central Music Hall tonight during a lecture on "Turkey and Turks." A large number of Armenians were in the audience expecting that General Wallace would allude to the Armenian atrocities. He did so, but his remarks did not suit the Armenian portion of his audience aud they expressed their feelings without restraint. General Wallace praised the personal peculiarities of the Turks as a people aud asked the people of America to suspend judgment on the stories of the massacre by the Turks and Kurds until the report of the international commission is secured. He said it was only a new phase of an old story of religious feud, lie also praised the Armenians as a brave and peaceful people. As he finished that portion of his address, in which he praised the Turks, several men in the audience rose to their feet and hissed violently. General Wallace paid no attention to their interruption aud continued his address as though nothing had happened. Later in the evening he spoke several times in praise of the Turks and every time hisses came from the audience.

The Chicago Inter Occan in its account of the lecture says: There was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen last evening at tracted by the presence of General Lew Wallace on the lecture platform. The author of "Ben-Hur" is always sure of appreciation in Chicago. The applause growing in generosity to the end, was the rarer compliment to the powers of the artist, who in addressing an audience in a Christian land could yet carry his hearers with him in recognizing the brighter side of phases of life in the Constantinople of to-day. The interwoven word paintings of bits of scenery and of his Majesty the Sultan were as clever aud fascinating as any page from Lew Wallace's published works.

PESTS.

The Obnoxious Case of Iloulc anl Wells Takes a New Turn, the Under Whelp lilting Hack,

The Hon. Wilber J. Ilouk, barrister, is defendant in a §5,000 damage suit. If he loses, a fairly good slice of the patrimony of this legal light will slip from him. John Wells, who was never heard of before he got tangled in the swirl of this unsavory suit, has sued Llouk because Houk had him arrested for stealing hay, the naturally inferential diet of all parties in this case. It is barely possible that Houk will have something to say before judgment is taken against him. lie most always has and a mighty conllict may be confidently expected. What a fine thing it would be, to be sure, if all parties in the cause could be let loose with spiked clubs in the college ball park, there to settle their disputations.

VOL. 53-NO. CRAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1895—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

A Patriotic Ad dreBs.

In commemoration of the birth of George Washington the P. O. S. of A. camp attended the First Presbyterian church Sunday night in a body,and listened attentively to an address by the pastor, Rev. E. B. Thomson. He based his remarks upon the text as found in II Cor. 14-11. Washington was a man who never had to seek honor, and he proved to be a man who never dishonored a trust imposed upon him. Duty was always first to him, and during all his career he Jnever lost sight of his religious faith in prayer. The remarks of Mr. Thomson were very appropriate to the occasion. The church was decorated with flags and potted plants.

Mr. Wampler Sues.

Vancleave & Davis, attorneys for John C. Wampler, have entered suit in the circuit court against Wm. H. Durham, Saiali Durham and George T. Durham, demanding that a threefourths interest in the residence property on south Washington street pertaining to the Durham estate be transferred to him, as the heir of Lily Durham Wampler. The complaint alleges that Mr. and Mrs. Durham gave the property to their daughter, the plaintiff'S'wife, although no deed was given. Mr. Wampler asks for a three-fourths interest in the property, therefore, his share under the law if it belonged to his wife. The property is worth about $4,500.

Rev. E. H. Creighton Accepts.

The Christian church has extended a call to Rev. E. H. Creighton and he has accepted the same and will commence his work the first Lord's day of next month.

Mr. Creighton is a young man of about thirty-three years of age and has already made an enviable reputation for himself as State evangelist of Illinois. He is a fine pulpit orator and a great church worker. He is a single man and a graduate of Lexington University and the Bible College. The church is greatly rejoiced at his acceptance of the pastorate.

STATUE FOR GEN. HASSOS.

Action of McIMierson Post AtUrmativelyApproves the Hill Appropriating &>G~,000 for Chii'.kaitmugK.

McPherson Post, No. 7,G. A. R., held a special meeting last Saturday evening for the purpose of taking some action relative to the death of Malilon D. Mansou and to endorse the movement now on foot to erect his statue at Monument Place as the representative of the Mexican war period. Relative to his death J. D. Tracy offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by a rising vote:

WHKKEAS, It has pleased the Grand Commander of the Grand Army of the Universe to muster oat our comrade, Gen. M. 1). Mansou, therefore, be it

Resolved, That with bowed heads we listen in deep regret .to the reading of this General Order.

Resolved, That while the tears glisten upon the cheek as we listen in vain for the answer at roll call that will never be heard on earth again, we bow in humble submission to the order of the Grand Commander.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of our deceased comrade.

On the question of the statue, C. M. Travis offered the following resolutions, upon which remarks were made by J. D. Tracy, 14. R. Russell, II. E. Bryant, C. M. Travis and others, and then unanimously adopted:

WHKKEAS, It has been definitely settled a»d determined that the Indiana State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, a memorial shaft erected by a grateful people in honor of the brave sons of Indiana who fought for the Union in the war of the rebellion 1SG1'05, and

WHKRKAS, It has been determined by the Monument Commission, and endorsed by the Department Encampment of the Grand Array of the Republic, to mark the principal war periods by statues of representative men of those periods to be placed about the monument, therefore be it

Resolved, That the said statues should be as far as practicable of soldiers or sailors who actually participated, as such, in the various wars, and that to erect the statue of a civilian to commemorate the Mexican war period would not be in keeping or harmony with the design or purpose of the State Soldier.3' and Sailors' Menuraent.

Resolved, That this Post urge the selection of the statue of Comrade Malilon D. Manson as the representative of Indiana in the Mexican war.

The following resolution relative to the bill pending in the House making an appropriation for marking the position held by Indiana troops at the battle of Chiclcamauga and for the erection of suitable monuments was introduced and unanimously passed:

WHKKEAS, there is a bill pending in the House of the General Assembly of Indiana providing tor an appropriation of §07,000 to mark the positions held by the forty regiments from Indiana at the battle of Chiekamauga with appropriate tablets and monuments, and.

WJIEKKAS, the State of Ohio, with only four more regiments than Indiana had at that battle, has appropriated S1'0,000, and Illinois, with four regiments less than Indiana had, has appropriated S07,500, for marking the positions occupied by their troops and erecting monuments to the memory of the men who fell in that sanguinary engagement, therefore be it

Resolved, That our Senator and our Representatives be requested to vote and work for the bill now pending in the House appropriating 867,000 that Indiana, which stood shoulder to shoulder with Ohio and Illinois in war, may stand abreast with these patriotic States in commemorating in an appropriate manner the deeds of the brave men who participated in that bloody battle.

C. M. Travis was delegated to visit Indianapolis on Monday and deliver copies of the above resolutions to our Senator and to each of our Representatives.

THAT VILLAIN HICKS.

HIK Allopathic 1)OK« of IHstmil AVouthor Lmthnl Out for March.

March will open with fair, cold weather in the western parts, while the storms starting the last of February will be disappearing to the east. The storm period beginning about the •I th will feel the combined force of Moon, Vulcau, Mercury, Venus, I0art.li and Jupiter. This period will no doubt merge into the reactionary storms due about the 11th and 12 th. making a prolonged period of general and violent, disturbances. Rain storms amounting to Hoods in many localities will result. Very high temperature in any part of the country, as storms of this period approach, will be an admonition of danger. Tornadoes will be apt to result. Rapid change to colder will follow the storms, turning the rains to heavy sleet in many sections. A sweeping blizzard in all northerly regions need not cause surprise, winding up with a very cold wave.

The period running from the Kith to 21st will be at the central crisis of the earth's equinox. Great cyclonic storms and gales will rush up from the equatorial regions, and these electric south ern storms coming in contact with cold, negative atmosphere will provoke many dangerous local storms. The reactionary storms about the 2Bd and 24th will supplement the regular period, with little, if any, intermission. The barometer may rise suddenly after the regular storms, but it will 'fall as quickly for the reactionary. Another barometric rise and colder will follow.

The regular storm period, central on the 29th, will extend from the 20th to the end of the month. About the new moon on the 26th, a marked change to warmer will take place. On this da*e the moon will come between our world and the sun, causing an elipse of the latter, but not visible in this country. The heaviest storms of the period will most likely transpire within a day or two of the new moon. Possibly two distinct storm waves will pass over the country during this period, each followed by sharp cold and rising barometer.

There are reasons for the greater frequency of elipses in March and September, and the fact cannot be denied that storms and other phenomena follow eclipses with great promptness and increased violence.
