Of the World For a Trifle.
THE "WORD GAME.',!
A Source of Entertainment That is lieing Played With Enthusiasm.
The "word game" is being played with considerable enthusiasm in several Chicago clubs. If one wishes to be successful in the game he must have a good knowledge of words and be able to spell them, and his memory must be quick. Any number of players seat themselves in a circle, or at least so that the play may move in a circle. One of the players announces a letter (x and are usually barred) and the next player adds a letter, the third player another letter and so on, but whoever puts on a letter completing a word is "stuck." On the other hand, every player who adds a letter to the word which is being spelled out must have in mind some word which is being correctly spelled and the letter which he adds must assist the spelling.
For instance, if he auus a letter and the next player-can not think of the word which is being spelled, the next player to avoid being stuck will say:
I challenge you." Thereupon the player who added the last letter must tell what word he had in his mind. If he fails to do so, or if he has misspelled the word, he is "stuck." But if he can give the word the challenger is "stuck" but is given the privilege of starting another word.
Each player is given thirty seconds in which to add a letter. If at the end of thirty seconds he has not added a letter or challenged the preceding player he is stuck. Proper nouns are usually barred, but adjectives and adverbs are permitted.
To illustrate: Suppose the first player announces "d." The second says "r" and the third "a." Then things begin to look dark for the fourth player. He must add another letter but not complete a word. He thinks of "drab,"' "dray," "drag,"' and nearly every word except "draft," which would let him out easily and stick player No. 5.
The game naturally develops "fiends" who search the dictionary for curious and tinusual words with which to puzzle the other players, but as every player has the right to put in an unexpected letter the "fiends" are often beaten at their own game. At an exciting game the other evening the first player announced "c," the second "a," while the third, who was regarded as an expert, thought of the word "cataclysm," and added "t." Then shouts of laughter aroused- him to the fact that he had completed one of the simplest words of the primary reader.
Hon. John L. Wilson as a Senator. Washington Post: Two days in the Senate have made John L. Wilson a changed man. It must be the atmosphere.
The John L. Wilson who used to be a member of the House, was a quick, active, nervous man, irrepressible in debate, swift to seize his political opponent in a catch-as-catch-can wrestle. From the far-off corner of the Republican side his loud and piercing voice would carry across the chamber a lightning-like shaft of wit, disconcerning the enemy, and causing confusion in the Democratic ranks.
The John L. Wilson in the Senate moves with sober step. He walks with dignified tread, he sees that his coat is always carefully buttoned, he rarely smiles, and eyen refrains from repeating his good stories in the cloak room. By the hour he sits in his chair, as silent and as idle as the most confirmed Senatorial habitue. When he signals for a page he brings the tips of his fingers together in a soft and subdued way, and even when he goes down for lunch he descends the marble steps on the tips of his toes.
Is the contrast overdrawn? Heaven forbid, for yesterday, during the debate upon the Indian bill, this same John L. Wilson, leaning his head upon the high back of his easy chair, solemnly crossed his hands upon his manly breast, turned his face up to the ceiling, closed his gentle eyes, and went to sleep.
Poor Trilby!
Indianapolis News: It is with a good deal of surprise that we note the stand taken against Tilby by a Crawfordsville clergyman. The extracts from this discourse, printed in the News, are well-calculated to cause amazement for several reasons, but principally because criticisms so sweeping came out of the Montgomery county capital. Poor, gentle, charming, hypnotized Trilby! To think of anybody in Crawfordsviile applying the harsh terms to her which the Crawfordsville clergyman used so freely!
Frank Cornell Home.
Frank Cornell has returned from the Central Hospital for the Insane, at In dianapolis, and is entirely himself, for which all his friends are thankful Mr. Cornell is now in Mace, but will be in Crawfordsville in a few days.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1895—TWELVE PAGES
Billy Goben After Blood.
Delphi Journal: An interesting suit for damages has been venued from White county. It is that of William Goben, of Wolcott, vs. the Monon railroad. The plaintiff asks for $5,000.
The complaint alleges that on the 13th day of December, 1S94, plaintiff entered the regular passenger train of the defendant leaving Indianapolis shortly after midnight and seated himself to be carried to Monticello that about the time the train reached the city limits of Indianapolis the conductor in charge of the train entered the car and demanded of plaintiff fare from Indianapolis to Monticello and the same was paid, the sum being 82.05. Plaintiff alleges that after collecting his fare the conductor proceeded to take up tickets and collect fares from other passengers on the car and that before the train reached Westfield the conductor came a second time and demanded fare. Plaintiff informed conductor that he had already paid for transportation to Monticello. Complaint says that the conductor denied this and accused plaintiff of attempting to beat the company and upon his refusing to pay his fare a second time put him off the train at Westfield,jerking him out of his seat and violently expelling hiin from the train and refusing him permission to ride further. Goben alleges that the depot was locked and that he caught cold and suffered greatly as a result of walking to the town of Westfield, which is situared one mile from the station.
The plaintiff is represented by Crane & Anderson, of Crawfordsville. Mr. Anderson is the brilliant young attorney who made a speech in the Pettit case that gave him a State reputation.
Cruelty to Animals.
One thing above all others that should be looked after and stopped by law is the inhuman treatment of at least one hundred work horses about this city. Dozens are being starved to the point of death each month, and then are sold to our neighboring fertilizing factories for only nominal prices, to be cruelly killed or as is often done, resold again to be tortured on the road. We need a humane society to push the enforcement of the law. This law stands as a dead letter on our statute books for the want of an active public statement behalf it. No law can or will be enforced unless there is some effort made by a united public. An earnest effort should be made to make an example of those guitly of inhuman treatment towards horses. We could name several cases where horses have actually dropped dead in the road in the last two weeks, worn out by overwork. Let an effort go forth at once to enforcd the law and protect the poor brute, powerless to help itself.
Kough on the llunners.
Last Saturday the police swooped down upon the hotel runners and arrested John Harlan, Sherman House, Wm. Smith, of the Nutt House, and Bob Thomas, of the Robbins, the three colored lads to whom life has heretofore been one long Summer's day. They were arrested on complaint of Agent Ilutchings, of the Vandalia, for disturbing the peace. It appears that the young gentlemen have been entirely too exuberant about the Vandalia station and their rough horse-play has not been in keeping with the decorum which obtained there. They have so often violated the code of the late lamented Chesterfield that Mr. Hutchinson deemed it a privilege and duty to give them a rough legal shove under the ribs. Three more appalled and quivering coons were never yanked before the tribunal in the Mayor's Court.
A Sad Case of Insanity.
The following from the Lafayette Courier concerns the wife of a man who has frequently been arrested here for his outrageous conduct with questionable charactrs:
Mrs. A. Q. Evans, wife of the well known traveling man, was reported insane to-day. She left her home and wandered about town for quite awhile before being found. She is the wife of the Evans who was arrested some time ago for associating with a woman of low repute, and who had been watched by the police at the wife's instigation for some time previous. Those who were in the court room on the morning of the trial will remember the heartrending grief of the poor wife, and the apparent indifference of the husband as he put up the §50 security for the woman who had usurped the wife's place. Mrs. Evans has had a great deal of trouble and and distress and those who know her say they do not wonder that she has lost her mind.
At Fountain School House.
Jake Zimmerman, a resident of Clark township, took two glasses of red liquor in Ladoga on February 19, and proceeded to do up the debating society, then in session four miles east of Ladoga. The grand jury took the matter up and Jake came in Saturday and settled to the amount of 821.75.
DARLINGTON'S NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
A Kicker Who Out Kicks the Kicker from Kick«rviU«.|
To the Editor The Journnl. A new school house is the leading topic of interest in our town and so far as I have heard there is 110 one opposed to our having anew and better school house, but there is a diiYerence of opinion in regard to the method, and so far as I have seen the subject in print, only one side of the question has been presented. And that has been of a nature that would cause readers not acquainted with the facts in the case to think that the town is so unfortunate as to have a number or rather a few inhabitants that are half human and the other half animal of a very low order. This may be so but if so, we will endeavor to show that they do not belong to the class called kickers. We find that the disposition to kick has existed from the dawn of man's existence. Adam was kicked out of the Garden of Eden because he could not be trusted to take care of the good apples. He began stealing as soon as t'hey got ripe. All but a few of the inhabitants were kicked off the face of the earth at the time of the flood, because all the imaginations of their hearts were evil. Sodom was kicked out of existence because there could not be found five righteous persons in the city, and I would not be surprised to learn that they were all in favor of a new school house if fctliey could have arranged for the other fellows to pay for it.
Jesus Christ kicked the hypocrites and money spenders out of the temple, and kicked them after they were out. So I am of the opinion that it is possible for a good influence to impel a kicker to kick a bad one. My experience has been that when I kick and the creature being kicked comes to view, which it always does sooner or later, it has long ears and siugs with a noise like an old conk shell, and when I get kicked I always find the same creature does the kicking. 1 became an inhabitant of this mice little town four years ago and one of my first conclusions was that a new school house would be needed, and demanded in the sweet by and by. I often spoke of it and my plan would have been to have levied a special tax and have a fund in readiness for the work when needed, but I find on suggesting such a plan that the fellows that seem to pride themselves as not being kickers lift up their hands with holy horror, and say it would be stolen. Some one would steal it. Well, we do not know what they would do, but we are very sure that we have plenty of good safe men among the kickers that will take care of any such fund, giving security sufficient to protect it against any possibility of loss.
Now like a flash of light in some subterranean darkness these fellows that are not kickers come to the front without a dollar to begin with so far as we have learned, and desire to erect a new school building, (which we all admit would be a good thing to have we refer to the building, not the debt.) Well, we hear some of our careful men and good financiers say it is not good policy, we ought to have some money to begin with, we desire to retain our credit. Such a debt will hurt our town.
Buta voice is heard and it sounds like a conk. The creature is seen it has long ears like unto no other creature, and the voice says it don't make any difference if the debt is never paid. Then I think of the inhabitants of Sodom and that other place where school does not need to be dismissed on account of the cold, and conclude that such a dispocition is not the proper influence to lead in any kind of an honorable enterprise.
Now to the real status of affairs and I desire to deal with the truth—because we learn that the devil was a liar from the begining.
None of us, even the kickers, do not object to anew school house, but we differ on the method. The kickers desire to have some money in hand to begin with and, if possible, have sufficient to pay for the building when it is completed. If this is not right I will admit that for once I am kicking the wrong beast. There was a meeting colled at Hulett's hall to discuss the propriety of beginning to build the school house under existing circumstances. All were invited and the intelligent and capital were well represented. All seem to agree that a better school house would be a good thing, but were opposed to beginning without some preparation in the shape of money. The vote' stood 28 kickers, 8 non-kickers, which I think is a fair representation of the tax payers. The town has been making nice progress and is in very good shape financiallyi
PART. FIRST
and it will certainly be unwise to load it with a large debt. The kickers have proposed to raise half enough money to pay for an $8,000 house when completed, if the non-kickers will raise the other half, and I believe the kickers can and will raise their half if the other fellows will support their enthusiasm with half the cash. I will give the result of my efforts with part of the kickers, some of them promising to do more if necessary: Alox Buchanan J5CO ('. K.Thompson 400 Wm. W.

Totul 2,000 These area part of the kickers and are responsible men that will support their opinions with money. No, kicker in last week's JOURNAL says that nine tenths of the tax payers will support the Trustees in their present effort. He is evidently mistaken in his opinion. If not, let them show up with their money, that is what will count in this case. 1 have traveled about a bit of my time and everywhere except at this place have found men posing before the people to spend their money and do the business for the people. My experience has been that they as a rule are fellows that have not succeeded in their efforts to do any good for themselves, financially, but seem to think that public funds cannot be properly applied without their assistance. I have found towns and townships almost bankrupt under their influence. We are thankful to know that we have no such men in Franklin township or in Darlington, but I think it will be wise for us to be on our guard lest some such fellows break over the line from Sugar Creek township. We don't know that there are and over there, they may have gotten away in the past. We hope so.

Swept the Platter Clean.
Nicholson Brothers have returned from the photographers' convention at Indianapolis and feel considerably elated over the result of the prize awards. They expected a good deal but hardly thought they would gobble first in everything entered. This they/ did, however, and over some competitors worthy of their steel. There were a large number of first-class exhibitors, and the fact thai the Nicholson brothers made sut-h an elegant showing is greatly to their credit. They were awarded many more honors than any other exhibitors and received the highest mark over the field—Indianapolis and all. The Nicholsons will in few days place their prize display or. exhibit here.
Of Interest to Housewives.
Our fellow townsman, Chas. M. Trayis, ex-United States Consul to Para, Brazil, South America, informs us that while a resident of Brazil he became acquainted with an herb which is peculiarly obnoxious to, and destructive of the common house moth. He has determined to introduce the use of the same in this country, and has taken steps to secure the same by patent office protection, and place it upon the market. He feels assured that when once used it will prove its merit and will, in time, supercede all other inoth remedies.
