THE GRAND POWWOW.
A lieautlful Day and tin ImmeiiHo Attendance For tlie Kcd Alen'M lMcnic.
gan to arrive early from all directions on the county roads. When the trains came in they carried additional coaches all loaded down with Red Men and their friends. Committees met all incoming1 delegations and escorted them to the fair grounds, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. The whole business portion of the city was gaily decorated with flags, bunting and all sorts of ornamentation.
Scores of private residences were also appropriately adorned. The streets were thronged with people at 8 o'clock and at 10 there was a perfect circus day jam to witness the parade. The parade was rather late in forming owing to the fact that the south bound Vandalia train was over an hour late. The procession started before 11, however, and was one of the grandest affairs of the kind ever witne:sed in Crawfordsville. It was headed by the Bicycle Club and made up of the several bodies as announced in Wednesday's JOURNAL. The Red Men were out in force and fully 500 men were inline. There were numerous special features in the way of floats that were eminently satisfactory.
The music was exceptionally fine and the playing of the several bands evoked much favorable comment.
The procession moved through the business portion of the town and thence to the fair grounds where speaking was the first attraction. Gen. Lew Wallace presided over these exercises, his opening remarks being warmly applauded. Mayor Bandel delivered the address of welcome and Judge Kent, of Frankfort, responded most pleasantly. Past Great Sachem King, of Lafayette, also spoke as did others. Owing to the lateness of the hour the addresses were all short and upon their conclusion the crowd proceeded to partake of their picnic dinners. The grass, delightfully clean and refreshing, was dotted all over with merry parties and until 1 o'clock banquetting was in order. At that hour crowds began to pour out from town to witness the races.
The committee deserves not a little credit for getting the races off on schedule time. There was no parleying or "monkeying" and those who wanted in had to come up to the scratch. The following gentlemen officiated:
Starter—Tom Ross. Judges—W. S. Fennimore, Ivy Carr, Ike Kahn.
Time Keepers D. V. Blair, Lew Dickerson. Secretary—H. M. Connard.
The bicycle races resulted as follows: BICYCLE BACKS.

JfOTKS.
The Indians are good town boomers.
The Lafayette military band and the Georgetown band, two of the best musical organizations in this section were in the parade yesterday. Vg
The Red Men demonstrated that they know how to manage a celebration. The value of their effort to Crawfordsville is not easily calculated.
Sullivan,the winner of the handicap, is from Veedersburg. Henry Dice would probably hpve won but for a a mistake he made in counting.
The decorations were put out in the proper style. When a town evinces the spirit Crawfordsville displayed yesterday it will be a proper resort.
A large number out of town wheelmen arrived in the city yesterday to enter the races. Some of them did so but others assumed the role of spectators.
The Waynetown band surprised people by the excellence of the music music it put up. A great many people would not believe that it was a Waynetown production.
There is some bad feeling on account of "ringers" from Danville, 111., scooping the races. The Crawfordsville riders, most of them withdrew when these men entered under false time.
John McAlvey's dog, chaperoned by W. J. Amos, was one of the great features of the parade. A small boy accompanied the huge animal with a bag of refreshments upon which Bingo was regaled when he evidenced an inclination to balk.
The Y.M.C.A. ball team could have cleared §200 if it had had a game arranged. All the visitors expected one and were keenly disappointed when they heard none was in store. A game could easily have been arranged with Anderson as her team wished to come.
Only seven probably came from Terre Haute. They reported that 200 assembled at the station, but went home disappointed by being unable to obtain rates. This mistake is greatly to be regreted as the Terre Haute people had promised to make a great feature in the parade.
Danville, 111., Press: The following well-known flyers will go to Crawfordsville this morning where they will start in the half-mile open and five-mile handicap races to-day: Hugh Biggar, John Learnard, Charles Woolsey, Oscar Toopes, 0. Burton, John Smalley, and Bert Thompson. Gillespie, Guston and Ed Burton will go along as trainers. They expect to down the Hoosiers and carry off the best prizes.
That JBuiz Saw Voice.
Rockville Republican: Beckner, the buggy man of Crawfordsville, auctioned 10 jobs here Saturday afternoon, Col. Tude Hamilton, he of the buzz saw voice, crying the 6ale. The price realized was not great.

r. llouk 1 hoori/.CR That It Sliouli! Cml a Mini Something To MIIMII lli« .Neighbor's l-'aco.
Wilbur G. Honk has through his attorney, \V. (!. llouk. tiled suit against Knoch Branson for §2,000 damages. Some months ago Mr. llouk and Mr. Rranson had a .slight misunderstanding and in the course of this pleasant little disputation Mr. Rranson italicised his remarks with a club. Mr. Honk's jovial mug was in consequence in sad order for some little subsequent time and he would hardly have captured the prize in a beauty show for full two months. Mr. Rranon was prosecuted for assault but was acquitted by a jury of his peers. This naturally did not suit Mr. llouk and he said so. He told several people that.
Well, Mr. llouk has concluded to try it again. He has come to a realization of his injuries which are permanent to say nothing of mental anguish, etc. lie therefore prays that the courts oblige Mr. Rrannon to disgorge $2,000 for his benefit. He will then agree to shake hands and let by-gones be bygones.
FOR THE STATE.
Agricultural Statistics Iteported By State Statistician Thompson.
The following is from the report of Mr. Thompson for the state. The figures are not estimates, but are the results of questions asked every farmer in the state. These show a total average in the various crops of 1 as eomparied with 9,091,337 last year, being an increase of ii-17,-12! acres. The average estimated yield of wheat is 7 77-100 bushels per acre, making no allowance as for the abandonments which would probable be something like 21,000,000 bushels: ('HOP AVHItACF..

l'terce's Talk.
R. B. F. Pierce, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis it Kansas City, says railroad officials must not expect too large earnings the next few weeks. Merchandise traffic will likely be good this fall if the corn crop matures as expected, but 1895 corn does not become an article of tonnage until near the end of the year. Frpm December on the corn shipments will be large, and a large hog crop follows a good corn crop, but, taking things as they appear, he thinks fall and winter business with the roads will be highly satisfactory.
Wrestling With Heal .Estate. The State Tax Board has begun the consideration of the appraisement of real estate in the various counties. The reports are nearly all in, and a good many of them are unsatisfactory. It is the understanding that the board will raise every county that has not appraised real estate at what the board believes to be its true cash value.
V'?. vhDr.
Henry Operated On.
Wednesday, at Indianapolis, Dr. Marsee operated on Dr. Henry, of this place, at St. Vincent's Hospital. Dr. Henry had his leg broken several years ago and the wound never healed. It was necessary, therefore, to remove a bone. He is reported to have stood the operation weli, and to be geting along all right.
Funeral Services.
The funeral services of the late Mrs. Herron took place Thursday and were attended by a large concourse of her friends. Rev. E. B. Thomson conducted the services and the interment took place at Oak Hill. The floral offerings were very beautiful and appropriate.
Telegraph Company Assessments.
The State Board of Tax Commissioners has assessed the Western Union Telegraph Company at 8357 per mile, and the Postal Cable Company at $175 per mile. The assessment does not differ materially from that of last year.
Not Hurt.
The horse of Dr. Ream took fright on Market street Thursday and indulged in a little runaway. Mrs. Ream was in the buggy but was uninjured. The report that she was thrown out and hurt is wholly erroneous.
Boand Over.
August Sewell, the half daft nomad who was arrested Wednesday for stealing the wagon wheels of Ben Oliver, was bound over to the Circuit Court in the sum of 8300.
PART FIRST
AN OUTRAGE.
Orric Took While 111 AVltli Typhoid Fever Ih Itiiiidli-d Into a llaKgage Car am! Sent Home Aloiut.
Orrie Cook is lying very critically ill with typhoid fever at the residence of his father. Wednesday evening when the Rig Four train came in from the east the boy was unloaded on a stretcher, having been shipped from Anderson like a piece of baggage by some heathen whelps of that place who evidently wanted to be rid of a sick man and who evidenced the rankest brutality in the accomplishment of their desire. Young Cook obtained a position as night clerk in an Anderson hotel some weeks ago and was taken down with typhoid fever. Instead of notifying his parents here the hotel people bundled hiiu into the baggage car, checked him to Crawfordsville and left him. No person was sent along to look after him, although when shipped he was unconscious. At Indianapolis he was revived in the station and was able to understand where he was when Crawfordsville was reached.
He was at once taken to the home of his astounded parents and now lies in a critical condition. For inhumanity in the treatment of the sick this case has probably no parallel hereabouts.
