VOL. 48—NO. 12 CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH 22 1895.—TWELVE PAGES

GOLD AND DIAMONDS.

Hezeklah Kerbaugh Has a Peculiar Delusion and Is Decalred Insane.

Hezekiah Kerbaugli is a well known citizen of this place and until ill health retired him, he was abridge carpenter on the Big Four, working under George Markley for twenty-three years. He was an industrious man, quiet and saving. He had building1 and loan stock which was paid out to him some months ago so that he had considerably over SI,000 in Elston's bank. His disease was locomotor ataxia, which prevented him, of course, from working. In addition to this physical affliction his mind began to fail and for some days past he has been stark crazy. His hallucination is a peculiar one and he believes that he knows the location of a first class diamond mine near town. He exhibits to his friends a small piece of a prismatic glass pendant which he declares is a gem of the first water worth just about one million of dollars. The other day he tried to borrow a wagon of a friend "to go out to the fair ground spring and load it up with twenty dollar gold pieces." He struck Officer Bannister for $150 to help build a house that would overlook the whole town, and applied to another friend for a setting hen to hatch a brood of first mortgages on town lots out of the pages of a small dictionary. He wanted to build a new jail of old railroad iron and eat puddings stuffed with big diamonds from his Sugar Creek mine.

George Markley applied to the court last Friday to have him declared insane, but it was concluded to let the matter rest until the regular jury met. March 14, however, it became apparent that immediate action would have to be taken. Kerbaugh was spending his money lavishly, and had given his bank book with a credit of $898 to Mrs. Randolph, of North Walnut street. This lady presented it at Elston's Bank Thursday and attempted to draw the money. It was refused her, and she was referred to Jere West, who was employed to conduct the insanity proceedings. Mrs. Randolph appeared before Mr. West and demanded the money, stating that Kerbaugh had given it to her and that she had witnesses to prove it. She was put off, however, and next morning a jury declared Kerbaugh of unsound mind. George Markley was appointed his guardian.

Death of Amelia Duifield.

Mrs. Amelia Duiiield departed this life at her home at Wingate, Ind., March 8, 1895. She was born in Iowa November 3, 1849, and moved to Indiana when she was small, where she was married to Philander Duifield, November 14, 1869, and where she remained the rest of her life. She was the mother of seven children and leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss. The funeral took place at the Salem cemetery Sunday, March 10, 1895, conducted by Rev. Thompson, of Shawnee Mound. In the blissful hope of immortality she fell asleep with a firm hope of seeing her loved ones. Deceased was 45 years, 4 months and 5 days old. We desire to thank our friends and neighbors who assisted us during the sickness and death of our beloved wife and mother.

Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest. Weary with years and worn with pain,— Farewell, till in some happy place

We shall Dehold thy face again. 'Tls ours to miss you all our years And tender memories of thee keep, Thine In the Lord to rest, for so

He giveth his beloved sleep.

Death of David P. McKinsey. David P. McKinsey died at his home in Ladoga, March 12, of the grip and old age. He was one of the oldest pioneers of Montgomery county. He was born in Ohio in 1810 he was aged 85 years, 2 months and 2 days and had he lived until the 27th of this month it would have been the 60th anniversary of his marriage. He, with his wife, united with the church fifty years ago and he has been a faithful Christian loved and respected by all. He leaves an aged wife and six children to mourn his loss, for dearly beloved was the dear old father and grandfather. But their loss is his gain, for we know that he heard the glad words, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter, for blessed are they that die in the Lord."

Death of John IS. Breaks, Jr. A message received last Friday from Punta Gorda, Florida, announced the death there' Thursday of John R. Breaks, Jr., who passed away shortly after the arrival of his father.

The deceased was a son of John R. Breaks, Sr., of this county, and lived here all his life, being born in 1855. He was married in 1882 to Miss Ilattie Goodspeed and was engaged in the drug business until failing health compelled him to retire. He suffered for several years with rheumatism and a complication of diseases which finally resulted in his death. The end had long been long expected but it finally came in the nature of a shock to his family and friends, He was a man of many excellent traits and will be mourned by those who knew him intimately.

Divorce Granted.

Last Friday Judge Harney severed the bands which united the fortunes of Wm. Milligan and wife, of Waveland. The lady was granted the divorce, the defendant never having provided and having finally deserted her.

NEW SCHOOL LAWS.

Some Important Changes Which are a Great Improvement.

The last Legislature passed two school laws that are important. The first gives to school boards the power to make levies of taxes for all purposes. Heretofore the Crawfordsville school board was obliged to petition the city council and the council made the levy for the tuition, which is the fund from which the teachers are paid. The Green Smith law is repealed in effect by the passage of a Jaw which says that if a school corporation, township, town or city spends more money in a year than it gets from the State then this demand can be made by the State, and as there is not a city nor a township in the State where there is not a local levy made, it will be seen that the State fund will be all spent each year. The attorney general is cut off from all fees in regard to the collection of any such funds. The local levy is called a supplementary fund, and it is presumed that the State fund is spent first. Another law has been passed and that is in regard to the enumeration of school children, and upon which the State fund is apportioned. This last law does not go into effect this year as there was no emergency clause. Heretofore this enumeration was to be taken between March 1 and May 1, giving two months to take it, while the new law requires the whole business lobe done from the 10th day of April to the 30th of April. Instead of enumerating the heads of families and the number of children, the enumerator has to enumerate the names of each child, age and sex, and g'et the signature of the head of the household that it is correct all transients (that is, persons under the age of twenty-one and over six that are only temporarily in the city) cannot be enumerated under the new law. The taking of an enumeration under the new law is quite a complex piece of business, and it will require much greater expense to take it under this law than under the old but it will not be taken under the new law this year-

The Shelby-Lane Nuptials.

Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the residence of the groom, near Kirkpatrick, occurred the marriage of Miss Stella Lane, of Farmers' Institute, and Isaac Shelby, two well-known and most worthy young people of Tippecanoe county. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Beal, of Romney. The beautiful new residence of Mr. Shelby was brilliantly lighted, which showed to best advantage the elegant costumes of the bride and her attendants. Promptly at 8 o'clock the happy contracting parties led by their attendants, Miss Sallie Remley and H. O. Shelby, entered the parlor to the music of an appropriate march as played by Mrs. Fred Remley, of Crawfordsville. The bride was attired in a lovely mauve silk with exquisite lace triming. Miss Remley wore pink silk, which was most becoming. The chosen words which made them one for life were pronounced in Rev. Beal's usual impressive manner, after which a wedding feast of rare excellence followed, of which too much praise cannot be added for orderly and complete management. Both the contracting parties are popular young people whose social standing in both Tippecanoe and Montgomery counties gives more than a passing prominence to the occasion. The bride is a daughter of Joseph Lane, of Farmers' Institute, and is a most amiable and charming lady. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Shelby and a first class, industrious young man. They will occupy their new home near the groom's parents, where in future they will be at home to their many friends. They were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents.

Debs ami the Barbers.

A. T. Kellison, writing to The Jounnai, from Great Falls, Montana, concerning Debs' visit there, says: "Unions are stronger and more numerous in this city than even Mr. Debs anticipated as evinced by one little incident. On Sunday all barber shops are closed by a rule of the union, not by law, and one by one the barbers declined to shave Mr. Debs. Finally, the committee found r„ second class barber who thought the honor of such high patronage would justify the breaking of the rule, and granted the shave."

Will lieturn to Indiana.

Harmon Marsh and wife have decided to abandon Florida since their bad luck in the late freeze and will return to Indiana. They will locate either here or at Montezuma, 11. B. F. Peirce having offered Mr. Marsha railroad position at the latter place.

THE STAR-EYED GODDESS.

Tile Knights of Wingate T.evy on llenry Watterson'g ltox Oftlee lteceipts.

Ever since the genial Henry VVatterson jumped his Wingate lecture the Knights of Pythias of that place have had it in for hiiu and the Southern Lecture Bureau, under whose auspices he travels when he sallies forth to scatter blarney through this vale of tears. The Knights swore vengeance for their trouble, expense and disappointment, and when they heard that Watterson was intending to lecture at Attica last week they hauled out their grindstones and whetted up their swords. It was at first decided to chop off the head of the presiding genius of the Louisville Courier Journal and hang the body upon a Cleveland pole on Bristle Ridge as a warning of the fate which befalls all those who monkey with the affections of the Coal Creek Knights. Sager counsel prevailed, however, and it was finally decided to simply garnishee the box receipts. In this manner their purses would be replenished and the great star-eyed Henry would be spared to speak at the G. A. II. reunion next summer. Accordingly that night the coup d' etat was effected and the receipts garnisheed. Henry's manager passed from one fit into another but was forced to yield to the inevitable and the date of the trial of the case was fixed at May 21.

COL. WINGATE

Tells How the Wingate Knights Made It Warm for Henry Watterson.

To the Editor The Journal. Covington, Ind., Mar. 16, 1895.—I have been continuously looking after the Watterson lecturer, since his engagement at our place, and have endeavoured to ascertain the real reason why he did not come. We waited until the evening of the 5th for some excuse from either him or the bureau, and received none, and then wrote the bureau, asking them to explain why he did not come, to which letter we received no reply, either by wire or by mail, until the 12th inst., when we received a letter stating that he was snowbound in Pennsylvania.

This, we conceived to be misleading, and at once set about to satisfy ourselves as to the reason he did not come. I ordered papers from various cities, and upon their representation we located Mr. Watterson in Cincinnati, where he lectured on the night of February 2d, and made a personal visit to Cincinnati for the purpose of discovering the real cause of his detention there. I found no reason why he could not have come to our place, except such cause as might have been prevented by him. I then went to Louisville and called on the Southern Lyceum Bureau, and endeavored to arrange this matter and settle with them. They referred me to Mr. Watterson, who w8s to be at Attica last night. Accordingly we went to Attica, called on Mr. Watterson, and got from him no satisfaction except that he was willing to give us a new date, under similar terms to the contract we had before, or that he would pay onehalf the expenses in arranging our lecture, which would perhaps be estimated at 825, one-half of which would be 812.50 or 815. These were the only propositions I could secure from Mr. Watterson, and he suggested himself, that if this was not satisfactory, that we should go into the courts and accordingly we ordered a garnishee for tLe money in the hands of the parties at Attica who had secured him for their entertainment, and stopped the payment of the fee, which was 8100, indicating, by the way, that Mr. Watterson has reduced his price materially, for it was 8100 that he agreed to go to Attica for, according to their contract.

The money is in the hands of Mayor Reed, of Attica, and the day set for the trial of the cause is the 21st of May, Nebeker & Simms, attorneys for the plaintiffs and Shannon Nave, attorney for the defendant. Yours truly,

John C. Wingate.

Mrs. Gilbert Gray Wants a Divorce. Some considerable surprise was manifested last week when Ristine & Ristine filed suit for divorce for Mrs. Mary Gray against Gilbert Gray. The complaint alleges that the defendant frequently cursed the plaintiff advising her to seek a warmer clime as he would be glad to be rid of her. It also alleges failure to provide. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant^ is worth about 87,000 and she asks for 82,000 alimony.

Gilbert Gray is one of the best known citizens in the county and is a resident of Walnut township. His friends are rather surprised to hear of the allegation in the complaint.

Here Asking for Aid.

Wm. Sidle, a former resident of this county and an honorable gentleman, is in from Nebraska soliciting aid for the sufferers of that section. He is after seed wheat, corn and oats, the inhabitants of the burnt district being absolutely destitute of the wherewith to plant a crop. It is to be hoped that donation will be liberal and bounteous from a county so blessed as this has been.

PART! FIRST

MR. HARTMAN CANED.

The Teachers of Union Township Present III111 With a Gold Headed "-Walking Stick.

Last Saturday the great feature of the joint institute of the teachers of Union township was the presentation of a gold headed cane to the popular trustee, D. W. Ilartman. The honor had been planned some time ago and Mr. Ilartman was kept in profound ignorance of it. On Saturday a committee consisting of Miss Lydia Spruhan, F. T. Maxwell and Miss Imogene Brown called at his office in a cab and getting Mr. Ilartman, proceeded to the Central school building, where the institute was then in session. Upon the arrival of Mr. Ilartman he was greeted with applause and the following set of resolutions read and passed:

Whkhkab, you, David W. Ilartman, having filled the ollice of Trustee of Union township for the past four years in an efficient and satisfactory manner, and

Whereas, Having ever been a staunch friend and able counsellor, liberal and considerate, patient, firm but just in your relations to us, and

Whbkras, You will retire from the office with the close of the term, be it Ttcsolvcil, That we, the teachers of Union township in institute assembled, do, through our President, tender you this cane as a support for your declining years and as a slight token of our appreciation of you as a friend and our regard for you as employer and public officer, with a hope that your future years may be many, blest with health, prosperity and, best of all, contentment.

The handsome cane was presented by President W. F. Sharpe of the institute, in a neat speech and Mr. Hartman fittingly responded. The act of the teachers attests the esteem in which Mr. Hartman is held by them.

The ltlcyole Wins.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has recognized the bicycle as entitled to equal rights in the public highway with horse and wagon. The case before it arose on a suit for damages brought against a bicyclist by a man whose horse had been frightened by the wheel, and who had been injured in the runaway. The court dismissed his suit and proceeds to say that the bicycle .cannot be banished from the public highway simply because it iOi not an ancient vehicle and was not in use in the Garden of Eden. This is in line with the decisions of other courts on the general subject.

Wilful Wallace White.

Last Saturday Judge Harney sentenced Wallace White to the reform school. Wallace is a youth of evil tendencies and hath no yearning for the knowledge taught in books nor heed for the admonitions and council of the righteous. He laugheth to scorn the wisdom of the elders and liveth the life of the slothful. All things considered Wallace is as onery a little cub as you might meet in a day's walk and a four grain capsule of reform school will do him good.
