AN ELEVATOR TO CLOSE.

W. AT, Darter Will Go to Ladogu and Open Up an Elevator There.

W. M. Darter, who for several years has been an important factor in the business interests of Crawfordsville as a buyer and shipper of grain, will close down his elevator. This step is taken for the reason that he is malting- arrangements to transfer his business to Ladoga. He has now in course of erection a large elevator at that place. It is located on the Monon just opposite the old woolen mills, and is a building 40x00 feet and three stories high. It will be supplied with all the modern improvements and conveniences of a first class elevator, and will be a valuable acquisition to the business of that thriving and prosperous town, and a convenience to the farmers of that rich agricultural community. Mr. Darter is not leaving Crawfordsville because he has not done well here, as he says he handled more grain last year than during any one year since he began business a long time ago, but because he thinks there is a good opening in the same line at Ladoga. Charles E. Gardner, his son-in-law, will move to Ladoga this week to look after the construction of the elevator which will be in readiness to receive grain by the middle of July. While Mr. Darter's business interests will be at Ladoga he will not move his family and will still be indentified with Crawfordsville as a citizen. As he is well known to the business men and farmers of that part of the county he needs no introduction, yet THK JOURNAL cannot refrain from commending him to their good graces, and express the wish that he may be attended with a most successful and prosperous career.

State Sunday School Convention. The following letter from State Sunday School Superintendent Charles D. Meigs will surely explain itself, and Sunday school superintendents and others interested in Sunday school work will please take notice:

INDIANAPOLIS, June 4, 1895.—Chas. W. Ross, Esq.. President Montgomery County Sunday School Union Dear Sir.—In response to yours of June 1st as to how many delegates each school may send, would say send as many as will go, for Indianapolis has made provision to entertain them and the railroads all over the State will make a one-fare rate for the round trip. No person interested in Sunday school work can afford to miss the opportunity of attending this convention, for it is nearer to you this year than it possibly will be for years and the expense attached to going is almost nothing. I hope that every school in Montgomery county will be well represented.

CRAWFORD SVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JUNE 18^5—TWELVE PAGES

Yours sincerely, CHAS. D. MEIGS, Supt. State S. S. Union.

Sunday school superintendents will please read this letter to their schools next Sunday, and act as it suggests— "send as many as will go," and let us see to it that Montgomery county is well represented. All persons attending the convention will please register "from Montgomery county," whether they are entertained by friends in the city or otherwise. Persons desiring entertainment will please send their names to me at once.

The committee having the Fourth of July celebration in charge have made arrangements with the Crawfordsville Cycle Club for a grand ten mile relay race, the message to be exchanged each time in front of the grand stand.

They will also have from two to three hundred bicycles in the morning parade decorated with the national colors headed by a quartette of buglers.

Livingston Keleased.

It will be remembered that George Livingston was convicted six months ago for stealing clover seed from Perry Beaver and Joe Morgan. After he had served five months in prison he was granted a new trial by the Supreme Court on the ground that an error had been committed in the transcript of the case.

Ottlcial Crop Bulletin.

Exceedingly hot and dry weather continued all weak, and no rain fell except in few counties in the northern portion, where very local rains fell on Wednesday. Under these conditions vegetation wilted and crops hardly advanced, an 1 raiu is very much needed everywhere. Wheat promises an exceedingly small crop on good soil it is heading and maturing, but the Hessian lly is still doing injury as some fields are not worth the cutting, the wheat has been plowed up and corn has been planted in others cattle has been turned in the fields. Rye is in somewhat better condition: it is heading and blooming. Oats in most localities are at a standstill they are thin and short. Except in a few localities clover is short and promising only a small crop, and timothy, grass and pasturage are turning brown only good rains in the near future will save a crop. The replanted corn is coming up slowly it is being cultivated in most counties, but the plowman is enveloped in dust. With good rains soon corn will make an excellent crop this year the activity of the cut worm is much diminished and the worm has disappeared in most localities. Potatoes are recovering and coming up a second time, and with good rains a fair crop is expected. Apples, pears and plums are in abundance in some localities apples are falling off, but plenty are left. Berries are too much injured by frost and are not promising grapes are beginning to bloom a second time. Melons will be late. Gar dens everywhere are in bad condition. Stock is in good condition, but water in many counties is getting very scarce wells and springs are drying up.

Temperance in the American Med leal Association. The forty-sixth annual meeting of the American Medical Association convened recently in Baltimore and the subject of alcliol in all its forms was discussed. Among the suggestions made was one for the organization of a National Board of Health, with a representative in the presidential cabinet, one duty of which should be "the scientific study of the effects of alcohol as a beverage." In a paper read by Dr. N. S. Davis, of Chicago, on "Does Alcohol Ever Act as Food, as a Generator of any Natural Force in the Living Body?" the writer stated that while men have been kept alive forty or fifty days on water, he had found no case, although he had sought diligently, where men had been kept alive half that time on diluted alcohol.

Vital force, heat force, motor force, nerve force and muscular force are all impaired by the influence of doses of alcohol." The sum of §100 was voted by the Association to the reprinting and distribution of the collected writings of Dr. Davis on alcohol.

The conclusion reached in one of the papers and endorsed by those before whom it was read, was that "the State has the right and duty to supervise the health of its citizens. Legislation for the ear, nose and throat is as necessary to perfect health and comfort as legislation for the eyes." Dr. Davis is one of the many leading physicians of Chicago who have interested themselves in the National Temperance Hospital, HU9 Diversey street, Chicago, where the experment has been made of absolutely non-alcoholic treatment in all its cases, with the satisfactory result of a larger percentage of cures than any other hospital in the city.

A rapidly increasing number of Chicago's physicians use no alcohol whatever in their practice. They find no disease or condition for which they do I not have abetter remedy than alcohol.

FIGURES FOR ADVERTISERS.

The Circulation of the Dally and Weekly 1 ournal for the Months ot March, April and May. 18i».T.

THK .TOUKNAL to-day takes pleasure in presenting to its readers, and particularly to its advertisers, a detailed statement of the circulation of both the Daily and Weekly editions for the three months of March, April and May, ISO.*). The average for that period is 1,288 for the Daily and 2,(W7 for the Weekly. The average for the entire year of LS'.U was l,2.r.8 for the Daily and 2,102 for the Weekly. The day has past in large cities when advertisers use newspapers blindly, neverstopping to consider that some are worth more than others, and the day is rapidly passing in Crawfordsville. THK Joun.\\\r, hopes to hasten the time of more judicious advertising by making at trequent intervals a truthful statement is its circulation, one of which will stand the test of the most searching investigation. Circulation is the most important basis of value in a newspaper, worthy of consideration of the advertiser and it is his right to know how much publicity he is buying just as much as it is the right of the customer to know how many yards of cloth or how many pounds of sugar he is buying.

We have discharged our circulation liar long ago and in his stead have employed a circulation pusher.

A Ladoga Lass.

Bloomington Telephone: Miss Maud Gill, of Ladoga, is in the city the guest of the family of Josiah Daugherty. Miss Gill is the young lady, who during the Wold's Fair, accomplished the daring feat of making the rounds of the Ferris wheel while standing erect on top v.f one of the cars, a glowing account of which was published in the papers at that time. Miss Gill is a young lady about 23 years old and is' an assistant in a store at Ladoga. Her cousin, Mr. Wright, was the superintendent of the wheel and often rode on the outside, but until Miss Gill accepted he could get no one to make the trip with him. While the journey was besought with no special dangers, yet of the many thousands who rode on the inside, not many would have taken her place with Mr. Wright.

New Market Social.

Quite a number of persons from Crawfordsville attended the C. W. B. M. social at New Market Tuesday. It was given under a large canvass in the yard of the Christian church. The dinner was all that heart could wish both in abundance and quality. Two hundred and fifty guests showed their hearty appreciation by freely partaking of it. Immediately after dinner all repaired to the church where a missionary service was held which consisted of a Missionary paper by Miss Edna Campbell, Temperance by the Misses Bertha Golf and Ivy Stonebraker. Rev. L. E. Murry, of Ladoga, and Randel Lookabill of Crawfordsville, responded with short talks fitted to the occasion. Mrs. Geo. Hall, of Chicago, sang two very beautiful solos which were highly appreciated by all.

I he object of the social was to raise money for the 'building of two rooms and a baptistry which will be added to the rear of the church. Although the ladies were admitted free S24 was netted and the meeting was adjourned to meet the same time next year.

Sering-Fishero.

Willis Sering and Miss Christina Fishero were quietly married last Tuesday by Rev. Hughes. The bride is a Veedersburg young lady and a granddaughter of Mine Host Fishero, of Alamo.
