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.

THE GLORIOUS.

Kveryboily Celebrates in Some Way or Other the Nation's HirtluWty.

Last Thursday was not dissimilar to former national birthday anniversaries so far as Crawfordsville was concerned. There was the usual exodus of citizens for the woods and the usual in Mux of country people and visitors from neighboring-towns. The "Shades''was the objective point for many of our people, although the banks of Sugar Creek were lined with Athenians from Troutman's to Turkey Run. Occasionally a group could be found lunched in some shady nook and the haughty and complacent air pervading every countenance was evidence of the fact that that eight-gallon beer-keg still had something in it.

In some other shady nook, by some pretty, babbling brook, might have been observed a hammock occupied by a devoted pair. She in white dress with blue sash and he in Sunday clothes. Their lunch-basket was at the foot of the big tree, and so were his fishing poles. They were fishing though and both had bites. Whose business is it if during the day there soft sighs, unutterable looks or even contraction of the mouth due to enlargment of the heart?

In fact, along the creek you might have seen almost anything- incident to a people and seemly observance of the great and glorious Fourth of July.

In Crawfordsville the Knights of St. John had charge of the celebration, and at the fair ground, which was the scene of festivities, a jolly good time was had by all. A large number of strangers were in the city and in the morning were down town, the streets being packed although most of our own citizens had left town. The parade was a very creditable affair, the wheelmen and the Knights making a fine display. At the fair ground Mayor Bandei delivered a pleasant address of welcome and Miss Josie Pennefeatber, ar. accomplished elocutionist, read the Declaration of Independence. There were about 5,000 people on the grounds in the afternoon and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. The events were all interesting and attracted the attention of a large and active portion of the assemblage. The horse races resulted as follows:

FREE FOR ALL.

Little Sam 1 1 1 D. M.

In the evening was the usual hilarity on the streets and at a late hour all retired worn out but happy.

County Commissioners Meet. The County Commissioners met last Friday and transacted several odd bits of business. Among other things done was the allowing Lane and Gill, of this city, and George Gardner, of Ladoga, to operate billiard and pool tables in connection with their saloon business. The applications for this privilege were made at the time of their license applications and in accordance with the specifications of the Nicholson law. As the Nicholson law was not operative at that time no action was then taken.

How Did It Get There?

Milton lv. Wheat, while plowing on the farm of Peter S. Kennedy a few days ago, turned up an English sixpense silver coin of 1829, with a medallion head of George IV and the ordinary inscription around the edge. It was considerably rusty, but when cleaned off %vas bright and seemed as unworn and perfect as when it came from the mint.

Commendation.

Ladoga Leader: Wm. Johnsons deputies in the County Treasurers office are John R. Bonnell and Miss Grace Johnson. Bonnell's friends here —and all who know him are his friends —are glad to know that a man so worthy and so competent secured the position. Miss Grace, the Treasurer's daughter, is also well qualified for the place she is to fill.

Karnum's Date Changed.

The date of the exhibition of Barnum's show in Crawfordsville has been changed to August 10. This is a week earlier than the time first set. The change was caused bya rearrangement of the route, several places booked being cut off. The prize show will be with us on August 10. .w,

PAID-UP STOCK.

Tluv Attorney-Ci'iK'ntl's Advice to County I ton rtl a iiT Ki-vimv.

Attorney-General Ketcham says the building and loan associations of the State might as well make up their minds to abide by the decision of the Supreme Court, taxing stock that is held in investment. lie has been called on several times for advice since the decision of the court was announced, and he has said to members of county boards of review that he would pursue but one policy in dealing with associations that refuse to give information in regard to the holding of paid-up stock, and that would be to put on the tax duplicate the amount of the association's authorized capital stock. This, he says, should be done, and the associations should have opportunity to get the assessment off the duplicate if they can.

The letters received at the oilice of the State Tax Board indicate that there is controversy' in nearly every county over the assessment of paid-up stock. In many instances secretaries of associations have refused to answer the questions, and the boards have written to the State board for advice. It seems certain that the question will get into the courts soon, and that the Supreme Court will be called upon early in the fall to say whether or not associations can be compelled to furnish the'names of persons who own paid-up stock, rnd the amount owned by each.

CRAWFORDSVILLE GETS IT.

We Will Kntertain the Next Convention of the Sunday Schools of IiuUhuh.

Crawfordsville will have the honor of entertaining the next State Sunday school convention. The following letter to Charles W. Ross, president of the Montgomery County Sunday School I Union, explains the matter:

INIHAXAI'OI.IS,

July

4, 1805.—Chas.

W. Ross, President Montgomery County S. S. Association, Crawfordsville.— Deak Bkotuek:—The executive committee of the Indiana Sunday School Association on yesterday, after carefully considering the invitations received from the various cities unanimously decided to accept your generous invitation to hold the next State convention in the city of Crawfordsville. Date not yet fixed but will probably be some time in June. Thanking your people for the invitation,

Sincerely Youns,

C. L. Weaver. Secretary.

Will Go In Force,

At State G. A. R. headquarters it is expected that Indiana will send more veterans to the encampment at Louisville, in September, than came to Indianapolis to the gathering two years ago. It is thought by most of the older soldiers of the State that this will be their last opportunity to attend the national event, as the next three or four may be held at points too re* mote for them to reach. It is stated that none of the veterans are in favor of discontinuing the parade at the encampments. They desire to keep this

feature as long as they are able to march. The Indiana department is having battalions organized all over the State, that accommodations at Louisville can better be arranged.

Driven Out of Town.

Fred White, the notorious negro brute, was arrested Wednesday night for beating his wife. The Mayor belated seriously the advisability of sending him to the stone pile for 100 days, but finally decided that the better plan would be to rid the city of his presence for good. White was released. accordingly, on his promise to leave the town, never to return. In case he does reappear here the police have declared their intention of wearing out several good blacltsnake whips on his odious person. This is the proper dose for the wife beater, anyhow.

Death of Joseph McKinsey.

Joseph McKinsey, aged 51 years, died on July 5 at the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Baker, of North street. Mr. McKinsey was a member of Co. B, 10th Indiana, and was a good soldier. The funeral occurred last Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Dr. Tucker. The interment was at the Masonic cemetery.

Kecorder'g Charges.

Under the law, the charges of the county recorder are as follows: For deeds and mortgages less than six hundred words gl, and 10 cents a hundred words for all over six hundred words for entering, indexing and recording all other documents, 10 cents a hundred words, but no charges will be less than 50 cents.

3,000 Acres.

A. L. Pogue, of Chicago, the famous ranch owner, was here Monday. Mr. Pogue owned 120,000 acres of swamp land in Indiana and Illinois and during his sojourn here he disposed of 3,000 acres of his Illinois land to auditor John L. Goben, of this county.

DEATH OF FRANCIS A. TRUITT.

Tlio I iitinii'ly lrniipi of a l'nputiir mill Honored (Mti/.en (it'iit'i'iilly lf|»loivl mill Mniirncil.

Sunday evening just beforejthe hour of six occurred the death of Francis A. Truitt, at his home on south Green street. He can scarcely be said to have rallied from the decided turn for the worse his illness took Friday night, although he rested much easier at times, and his friends were quite hopeful until shortly before the end came. The lamentable news quickly spread over the city, and on all sides could be heard words of the profoundest regret and sorrow.

Gus Truitt, as he was popularly known, was born in this county, at his father's farm near Wingato. October 2li, ISM). When quite a young man he came to Crawfordsville and began to educate himself for a business life by clerking. His honesty good-fellow-ship and liberality quickly won him a place iu the hearts of all with whom he came in contact, and it can be safely said that the excellent impression he male on all was never destroyed. In 1884 he was united iu marriage to Miss Martha Beal, who in her sad bereavement has the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. Truitt several years ago engaged in the grocery business with his brother-in-law, Jeff Scott, on the corner of Washington and Market streets. He subsequently purchased the interest of his partner and continued the business alone until the time of his death. He stood [high in the businesss, social and religious circles of the town and everywhere commanded honor and esteem. He was one of the most prominent Masons in this section and was earnestly devoted to the order, lie was ajmeniber of Montgomery Lodge No. 50. F. and A. Masons, and Steward of the lodge: a member of Crawfordsville Chapter No. 40, Royal Arch Masons and a Past High Priest was a member of the Council of High Priest]of the State of Indiana. He was also a member of Montgomery Council No. 34. Royal and Select Masters, and was serving his second term as Illustrious Master. He belonged to Crawfordsville Cotnmandery No. 25, Knights Templar, and was the Eminent Commander at the time of his death. He was also a»member of the Tribe of Ben-Hur.

Perhaps no man in Crawfordsville was ever more thoroughly respected and liked by all classes than fcGus Truitt. He was so full of kindness, sincerety and humanity that to know him was to honor liim. 1 lis heart was open as the day for melting charity," and those acquainted with the home missionary work in Crawfordsville know not only how-Jearnestly Mr. Truitt labored in this cause, but also how liberally he contributed. Only the poor who sought his place of business in their distress, however, can fully appreciate that side of this good man's character, which alone was sufficient to nominate him as of the salt of the earth. His heart was kind" ly and his feelings all were true. He spoke no word of harm or ill and owed no man anything. His was one of those rare characters which tend to make a bad world better.

Mr. Truitt carried SO,000 life insurance. There was $2,500 in Ben Hur, S3,500 in the Northwestern and $1,000 in the New York Lffe.

The funeral occurred from the family residence on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services were held under the auspices of the Knights Templar, Rev. G. \V. Switzer, of Brazil, officiating.

Institute Workers.

Supt. Zuck has about completed the arrangements for his institute workers for this summer. Unless present arrangements are changed the workers will be Prof. Harwood, of the Illinois State Normal, formerly of Attica, and Prof. Smith, of Illinois State University.

Denth of JVIyra GarlliK.

Word has been received of the death of Miss Myra Garlick, which occurred some days ago at her home in New England. Miss Garlick made her home for two years with President Burroughs. of Wabash college, and will be remembered by many of our citizens.

ismlly Skinned.

Wm. Martin, Sr., was in Veedersburg last Friday and left a Clover Leaf train while it was in motion. He fell and struck upon his face on the cinders. In consequence the side of his face was terribly skinned.

Farms Sold.

George Keller has sold 100 acres in Orange county for §3,200 and Harvey Gray has sold 100 acres five miles south of town for §4,000. Both deals were made by Lookabill & Co.

PART FIRST

A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

Tin* Now Trustees AViU Kurly in August CImhiho SucrenHor to Suporin.1. S. Zurk.

There was a caucus of the Republican candidates for the oilice of County Superintendent a few days ago which was attended by all but one or two of those who have announced themselves. At this caucus it was determined to ask the incoming board of trustees to elect a County Superintendent the first Monday in August. The majority of the incoming trustees have declared themselves favorable to this request and the election will in all probability be held. Any candidate who has not yet announced himself would therefore better be stirring around. Mr. Zuck. the present incumbent of the Superintendent's oilice will keep his place until the Supreme Court passes on the validity of the Superintendent's law. This action of the court will probably be made iu time to avoid any unpleasant conllict over the right to the oilice.

BESET BY HYOTOES.

The Niclioldoii Luw is Opposed ly tlie 1'rolii* mid the Whixkyites.

Between the two enemies, the saloons and the Prohibitionists, the Nicholson law is likely to have a hard road to travel. C. F. Morris, of Coloina, Indiana, of one the leaders of the party in Indiana, in the Phalanx of July 4 says: "This law is not going our way. It is iu the interest of the liquor power. It gives it a standing and nowhere condemns it. 1 doubt if there is any worse feature now, for our day, than this same popular local-option idea. Let not make to much over a liquor law, for they are all operated to prevent the advent of prohibition." It must be encouraging to the Liquor League, which is so resolutely assailing this new law, to learn that the Prohibitionists, too, want it overthrown, that the advent of prohibition' may thereby be promoted. Of the law the Phalanx says, editorially: "It is not our bill. Wedonotfoim it. We did not ask it. We have not indorsed it. It is entirely opposed to the principle of prohibition."

Jerusalem Lettuce.

This is a pestiferous weed of which the farmers should beware. It is sometimes called wild lettuce and first made its appearance in this county about three years ago. This season it is widespread and if not checked will in a very few years do much damage. It is considered a worse pest than the Canadian thistle and can only be eradicated by being dug up by the roots. It is not only in the country but also in many of the yards about town and may be recognized by its prickly leaves. In many cities of the State ordinances have been passed against it and the matter should be taken into consideration by our city council and our county commissioners now while its extermination is a comparatively easy task. It is said that this weed once grew so rank in Jerusalem that the inhabitants were compelled to evacuate and go to other lands in order to raise crops.

Qmnd Powwow of the Ueil Men. The Wabash Valley district powwow and picnic of the Red Men will be held in this city August 1st. Arrangements are being made for a large number of visiting Red Men and their families. It is expected that fully two thousand braves will be in the procession. Large delegations are expected fram Logansport, Flora, Frankfort, Lebanon, Delphi, Lafayette, Covington, Veedersburg, Mellott, Ilillsboro, Darlington, Clinton, Terre Haute, llockville, Greencastlc, Brazil, Bloomington, Indianapolis, Jamestown and other points. The Pow-Wow will be held in the fair ground and the gates will be thrown open to everybody without money and without cost. The fountains will be running and everybody will be guaranteed a good time.

Hub Sold Out.

James Ivelley has sold his popular boot and shoe business here to The Scott, Iteinard Shoe Company of Fairfield, 111. The gentlemen of this firm are energetic and experienced business men who will maintain the establishment in first class form. Mr. Kelley, whose health necessiated his retirement from active business for a season will take a much needed rest.

Seven Hundred Gallons of Blackberries. I will pick 700 gallons of blackberries, all cultivated, this year and will be ready to fill orders by the middle of next week at my farm, 2% miles north, west on the Attica road. C. Ei.kod.

Gobb to Jamestown.

Perry T. Martin has been elected principal of the Jamestown schools for next year and has accepted the position.
