A Lump of Lead in His Stomach.

H. S. Buchanan, Decorator, 126 West Sixth street, Indianapolis, says: For years, after eating, I would feel as if I had a lump of lead in my stomach. This, with a soureness rising into my mouth, would make me feel miserable beyond the power of words to tell, I have taken one box of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS and it has done me a world of good. I can confidently recommend it to anyone afflicted with dyspepsia or stomach trouble of any kind.

CRAWFORD SVILLE, IKDI AN A, FRIDAY,

IIICRS JULY FORECASTS.

Rains Will be Few and of the Cloud Hurst Order if They Come.

On July 1st the earth will be in Aphelion, or at it most distant point from the sun. On July 9th, Jupiter will be in conjunction with the sun, which means that he will be directly on the other side of the sun from the earth. Hence, the usual cessation of storms about July.

The last storm period in June will terminate the two first days of July, with fair, cooler weather following' up to about the 5th and 0th, when a very warm wave may be expected, with bursts of bluster and storm about the full moon on the Cth. Cooler weather will prevail about the Gth to 9th. The Vulcan storm period is central on the lOtli, and will bring1 rising temperature, falling barometer, and more or less storminess about loth, 11th and 12. The Mercury period begins about the 13th, is central on the 17th and ends about the 22d. It includes the reactionary period centering about the 15th and lGth, most of the regular storm period from the 20th to 24th, the moon's last quarter on the 14th, new moon on the 21st, and the moon's Perigee very near on the 23d.

The best indications for rain, and possibly heavy winds, are on and next to the 15th and 16th and from the 20th to 23d. We should say that within 48 hours of new moon on the 21st many sections will get rain, with possibilities of stiff, summer storms. Before the storms, expect oppressively warm weather, amounting to "hot winds" in places, but cooler weather will follow from about the 23d to 26th. On and touching the 27th and 2Sth look for return to warm, with falling barometer and more bluster and storm. This reactionary period is at moon's first quarter, and may possibly bring some good, scattering rains. The probabilities are that all the rains for the month will be on the cloud burst order—heavy rains over small areas, with threatening clouds and much bluster and drouth generally.

Now is the time to prevent the destructive effects of August drouth by deep and frequent plowing of the soil.

Charged With Making Counterfeit Money. DanviJle, 111., News: John Dougherty, alias "Hogjaw," who was arrested in this city last Tuesday evening, in response to a telegram from Deputy United States Marshal Shelby, was taken to Kansas City yesterday evening on the 6:2S Wabash passenger train to answer to the charge of making and passing counterfeit money in Kansas City, in June, 1S94.

Deputy Marshal Shelby arrived on the 2:13 Wabash train yesterday after his prison. Dougherty was arraigned before United States Commissioner Wilbur yesterday afternoon and waived examination and his bond fixed at §2,000. [Marshal Grimes received a letter from the U. S. marshal at Kansas City telling him to look out for the festive "Hogjaw," but the young man never showed up in Crawfordsville.]

A Gaudy Game.

The lawyers and court house officials played a six inning game of base ball last Thursday at the college which came as near resembling the national game as a Pine Ridge Indian war dance approaches a Newport ball. The final score was 25 to 10 in favor of the court house people. The feature of the game was the rank umpiring of Mr. Miller, who suspiciously enough is wearing a new hats today. Fin Mount was badly injured as to his apparel while making a grand stand slide for first base. His heroic effort so enthused the small boys present that when he left the field a select coterie followed him singing in veneration, to the tune of "tra ra ra ra boom de ay," a melting melody which began "Mamma! Mamma! I can't dance,

I have torn my Sunday pants."

Smallpox^it Covington.

Danville. Ills., News: Two more cases of that dread disease, smallpox, have developed in Covington, Ind. The first case, that of the Gebhart girl, who came to Covington recently from Champaign, is a very bad one. She is at the pest house north of town. Her sister and another girl broke out on Wednesday and they are in the detention hospital.

Jim Hanna in Arkansaw.

James R. Hanna has been transferred from Cincinnati to Jonesboro, Ark., as government special pension examiner. He has thirteen counties to look after in the State of the musical traveler.

Mossier Failg.

Mr. Mossier, who formerly operated a gents' furnishing goods store in the Crawford block here, has failed at Thorntown. His stock was sold last week at assignee's sale.

JULY 5

On last Friday a very solemn funeral procession passed through the city. It was the funeral occasion of unusual significance. ThomssA. Smith, a veteran of Co. A, 19th Reg. Ind. Vol. Infantry, died at the county poor farm Thursday night, and Supt. Myers, who was a soldier himself, knowing that it was contrary to the sentiment of all good people to allow a soldier of the Union to be buried in the Potter's Field, and that the laws of the State had made provisions for the respectable and decent burial of the soldiers, reported the matter to some comrade, and at once comrade M. V. 13. Smith set about arranging for the funeral. He was not long in calling together some thirty-five or forty of the old soldiers and a lot was procured at Masonic cemetery, and all arrangements made for a respectable funeral service. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the procession went out to the poor farm where Rev. H. A. Tucker, also a veteran of the war, held a short service, when the remains were taken to the Masonic cemetery where appropriate services were held, and the homeless old soldier was laid to rest. There was not a relative present, nor one who was bound to him by the ties of kindship, but there were sorrowing hearts and loving hands to lay him tenderly away—these were the men who were bound to him by ties that were welded in the fire of battle.

As the years roll on the veterans of the war are drawn nearer and nearer together, and the ties of their comradeship become stronger and stronger regardless of the sentiments of those who enjoy the fruits of their victories, but who see no honor ov renown in the remnant of the Grand Army that saved the life of the Republic.

Kose-Gregory.

The following from the Koltomo Tribune is an account of the marriage of Miss Daisy Gregory, formerly of this city: "In the presence of a few friends at the home of the bride's mother, 48 east Mulberry street, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, Miss Daisy Gregory, of this city, and Mr. Lewis Rose, ,of Chicago, were married, Dr. W. D. Parr performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Rose left early this morning for Chicago, where the groom holds an excellent position with the Swift Packing Company. The bride, who is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Belle Gregory, is a handsome young lady and one of splendid attainments. During a few months residence in this city she has become a popular leader in society and has found herself within a wide circle of friends."

Will Keturn to Peoria.

Prof. R. N. Whiteford will return to his place in the Peoria high school next year, and the fact is quite a compliment to his ability. It seems that politics rules situations in the Peoria schools and as a change had occurred in the complexion of the board Mr. Whiteford expected to be relieved. Because of his excellent work, however, he was retained.

C. M. Scott's SucceBBor.

The County Commissioners last Saturday elected the successor of the late C. M. Scott as Justice of the Peace. There were there three candidates for the position, Win. G. Hanna, Ira McConnell and J. G. Overton. The Commissioners elected Wm. G. Hanna and he will assume the functions of his office at once.

Keinterred.

The graves of the Fry family, located in the Whitlock addition near the stand pipe, were opened and the remains removed to Oak Ilill. Mrs. Fry had been buried "fifty-nine years ago, but her bones were in a good state of preservation and her hair still bound up by a comb.

A New Koad.

Ladoga Leader: John L. Davis, of Montgomery county, and Thomas Batman, of Putnam, met here Tuesday on their way to inspect the land where it is proposed to oxen a new road along the county line south of M. L. D. Long's farm. Frank Young, representing the petitioners, accompanied them.

WilUlte-Loug,

Invitations were issued last week for the marriage of Hubert Wilhite and Miss Sadie Long, daughter of Henry Long, of north of the city. The marriage will occur at the Christian church on July 9, at 8:30 p. m.

To California.

Rev. J. G. Stephens, of Trinity M. E church, left last week for California where he will spend seven weeks. His family will spend the summer at Niagara Falls.

The Governor's Proclamation iHSued Modday at 1.1 O'Clock Declaring the Laws Passed by the Last

Legislature to lie in Force.

Spoeiul to The Journal. Indianai'oi.is, July 1.—The Governor's. proclamation was issued at 11 o'clock to-day declaring the laws passed by the last Legislature in force. One is excepted, the law taking tjie power to appoint the State House custodian out of the hands of the Governar. Some of the saloon-keepers have made arrangements to operate under the Nicholson law, the most conspicuous of the new measures. Others have done nothing. In some places in the State a disposition to ignore the law is reported but the Brewers' Association has advised saloon keepers to observe the law until the Association carried a case testing its constitutionality through the Supreme Court. The police here have received instructions to enforce the law.

To Test the Apportionment Law. The Terre Haute Express says: Senator David Turpie and General John S. Williams, of Lafayette, were in consultation here -yesterday with Senator Voorhees to outline a plan for attacking the constitutionality of the apportionment acts passed by the last Legislature. It is their belief that the law is invalid by reason of the fact that it was not passed at the time fixed by the constitution. They will take immediate steps to have the question settled by the Supreme court. It was the contention of Republicans in the Legislature that the previouslv enacted apportionment act being in contravention of the constitution, there existed an emergency for the passage of an apportionment act. The last Legislature passed apportionment acts affecting both Congressional and Legislative districts."

Louig McMafns Married.

Louis McMains, of Ristine & Ristine's law office, was married last Wednesday evening to Miss Sadie B. Gwyn, an estimable young lady, of Bloomington, Ill. The happy couple arrived here Saturday evening and were tendered a reception at the home of the groom's father, Anderson McMains, south of the city. After July 10, Mr. and Mrs. McMains-will be at home at 913 west Main street. The groom is an excellent young gentleman and his bride will prove a charming helpmate to him through their lives.

Star ltouteB.

The star routes between Crawfordsville and the country towns of Shannondale, Alamo and Wingate began under new contracts Sunday. Jas. Wainscott retains the Wingate route but the others are changed. M. O. Love is succeeded on the Shannondale route by James Rankin. On the Alamo route Tilghman O. Gass is succeeded by J. A. Beck and Dan Ealy, to Morgan county men who evidently mean to sub-let the work.

Another Reissue of Pension. Thomas A. Smith, who died in the Poor House last Thursday, had been a good soldier and rendered his country valiant service in Co. A, 19th Reg. Ind. Vol. Inf. He was pensioned at $12 a month under President Harrison's administration, and the Hoke Smith gang with their usual love for a Union soldier cut his pension down to $6 per month, and the veteran died in the County Poor House.

Whittington's Pitching.

The Parke county Juuriuil speaking of the game between Crawfordsville Y. M. C. A. and Rockville, says: "Crawfordsville has a great twirler in her man Whittington, and had he warmed up well before the play, might easily have prevented apart of the runs."

Dissolved Partnership.

J. J. Mills and C. W. Burton have dissolved their legal partnership. Mr. Mills will continue the practic alone and Mr. Burton will on July first form a partnership with L. J. Coppage. The new firm will be a prosperous and capable one.

Ed McNutt to Marry.

Ed McNutt, a graduate of Wabash College of the class of '92, and one of the sweetest bass singers ever in Crawfordsville, is soon to be married to a belle of Elgin, Ill. Ed has a church now in Effingham and is reported to be doing well.

liockville Drubbed.

Rockville's base ball team met its fate last Friday on its own dunghill. The swarthy swatters of Ladoga went down and beat the Rockville folks to the merry tune of 19 to 8.

Teachers' Examination.

teachers' examination for license fe held at the Central school buildsaturday. Sixty-five aspirants parked in the festivities.

PART FIRST

OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS.

Supt. Geeting Speaks or Kxemption Licenses and Other Matters of School Interest.

The following letter of David M. Geeting, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, to county superintendents will be read with interest by all interested in our schools, and especially by the teachers:

Dear Sik:—The law requiring the teaching of the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics, and their effects on the human system, passed by the last general assembly, by the provi sions of that act, will be in force from and after the 30th day of June, 1895. our attention is called to one or two provisions of this law to guide you .u the examination of your teachers. 1st. It is manifestly an additional subject in the common school curriculum, and an examination in this subject, for the teachers of the State, is mandatory. Teachers holding licenses in the several counties may be required to take this examination as their licenses expire. 2nd. Persons who are exempt from examination under the laws of 1889-83 will be required to take the examination in this subject because of the provision of the law of '93, which expressly says: "If such person shall, during such exemption, seek employment to teach other or higher branches in the common schools of this State than those branches which were included in the examination upon which said three years' licenee was issued, then he or she shall be [examined in such additional branches." 3rd.

1

his does not, in any way,

effect the teachers who hold State licenses, residing in your county, un. less the State Board of Education, in whose hands the subjects for this examination is placed by the law, should authorize such examination. For similar reasons this will apply to holders of diplomas from the Indiana State Normal School.

The State Board liasi been petitioned to revise the physiologies to meet the requirements of the new law, but since some time will lapse before it is possible for such provision to be made, we name one or two books for the convenience of teachers:

Primary grades, "The House I Live In," 30 cents, American Book Co., Cincinnati, O. "Child's Book of Health," 30 cents, Ginn & Co., Chicago, 111.

Advanced grades, "Lessons in Hygiene," 45 cents, D. Appleton & Co., New York "How to Keep Well," 45 cents, Ginn & Co., Chicago "Youth's Temperance Manuel," 40 cents, American Book Co., Cincinnati, O. "Alcohol and Hygiene," 50 cents, Lodie E. Reed, C0j north Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis, Ind.

Ihe teachers' Reading Circle exemination wiil be held on the third Saturday in July this year instead of the second Saturday of September as heretofore. Hoping these suggestions will be helpful to you in carrying out the provisions of the new law, the first examination under which will be held in July, 1895, I am,

Yours very truly, D. M. Geeting.

A Business Change.

The well known book and stationery firm of Pontious & Lacey lias been dissolved. Mr. Lacey has purchased the interest of Mr. Pontious and will hereafter continue the business of the popular stand alone, enlarging and improving it. Mr. Pontious has purchased a fourth interest in the pottery works of llartman, Cox & Spencer, at Gas City, and will devote his time to disposing of the out-put of the plant. Mr. Pontious will be in Crawfordsville a portion of his time on Masonic and other work. His many friends wish hiiu all success in his new ventu're.

Saloon Dodge.

Among the many plans suggested to evade the new Nicholson law is the following: It is proposed to organize a joint stock company of men, say 100 who will lake out license to start a saloon, jointly, aud during legal hours leave it in charge of a bar-tender. As the members are all joint owners of the saloon they will have aright to enter it at any time, and so doing prohibited hours they would have matters all their own way.
