RKI.AHDIXG SANITATION.

sSujurint^inlent /tick ArirfreHgeH the Xevr Trustees U^Kftrtlirig Some Dutiea to the School Children.

Superintendent Zuck iu his address to "the new township trustees Monday made the following' statement which is •of peculiar interest to all the patrons of the count}' schools: "You are but the guardians of the •••children of the county and as such it is your duty to look after their interest.

It is your dut}' to place the seool house and surrounding's in a good, sanitary condition before your school commences, brush down the dusty wallpaper or white wash them. Put the house in as good a condition as you would if you intended to move your family into it. Fix up the fences, clean up the play ground and in many places enlarge the grounds give the children room to work off their accumulated energies make the school house and •••surroundings attractive and home-like take away from it its prison-like appearance, as the environments have much to do in fixing and moulding the child's character, and your neglect in any of these duties might be the means of changing the lives of many children from what they might have been under more favorable circumstances.

Now 1 want to call your attention to the school house well. 1 hardly know what to say to you that would be the best thing to do with them. As for my own conviction in the matter I am satisfied that the best thing to to do for the children would be to fill them up. I look at a well at the school house as being a very dangerous piece of property. I have found but very few wells at school houses that the water was tit to use. A well which is allowed to stand during seven months of the year unused and these being the hot months, 1 know of no way to put these wells in a safe condition. I would adwseyou to abandon the wells where•ever you can and arrange with some faruser near the school house for the supply of water. It would be cheaper to keep his well in repair than it would •to keep the school house in proper •condition. Is'ow you cannot use too much precaution in putting your wells in shape- before your school opens. JJLavethem all cleaned out ond the water pumped out two or three times •before time to use them. I have observed this, that there is always more •or less sickness of the children the first and second months of school, and •ordiuarily there is much more sickness where the supply of water is procured from tv well in the school grounds. No expense is to® great for the proper care of the health of the •children, especially if they are yours and all of these children belong to someone who placed you in a position where it is your duty to look after these things, and to neglect a duty of this kind is almost criminal."

Mr. Zuck also warned the Trustees •against the seductive "school supply" vender. These rapscallions have given Montgomery county a wide berth during the last few years and they have 'been unable to dispose of their alluring wares. A new board now being in, however, they will return to try their iuok again. They should be promptly turned down. Their supplies look all .right but are of little practical value. A good teacher without supplies will eifect more than a poor teacher with a car load. Montgomery county has never had a school supply scandal yet and it is pretty certain that she never will.

Swiped at Thorntown.

The Clipper base ball nine met with disaster at Thorntown Tuesday, losing two games to the swatters of that village. The score of the first game was Ht to 13 and the second 18 to 11. The Clippers were crippled by the absence of some of their best players and explain their defeat on this ground.

THE PEOPLE.

Personal OogRlp Relative to Crawfurdsville People and Tlieir Friends tjh From Klsewhere.

On his •way he will stop at Cornell and attend a meeting of the National Microscopi •sal Association.

Ostrom and Maxwell.

In jollying the principal lights in the Battle Ground camp meeting, the Lafayette Courier says: "Ostrom needs no complimentary words. After this exercise there were open air meetings again at four different places on the grounds. At night the best meeting of the day was held. Rev. Ostrom talked again to a very large audience. He is one of the most untiring, earnest workers ever on the ground. Not only that, but his sweetness of disposition and kindness toward all stamped him as a true Christian, and won for him the hearts of those who came in contact with him. Mr. Harry Maxwell deserves especial notice for his untiring efforts to make the music the very best possible under the existing conditions. He not only sang himself on all occasions, but succeeded in getting others to sing. On Sunday he had a choir of nearly 100 voices. He would have had 150 if the platform had been provided. Rev. Ostrom and Mr. Maxwell are secured for next year. This will be good news for everybody."

Iujured On the Yandalia Kxcuraioii. The Vandalia left two cars on the side track to be used for the excursion of last Saturday and the cars were filled before the arrival of the train. Will Richmond could find no seats in these cars and waited for the train taking a rear seat in the rear car. In switching the two cars they were thrown violently against the train, throwing Will out of his seat and 'giving him a severe strain in the back. He did not think the injury severe at the time and continued on the trip. Arriving at home Monday he was considerably crippled and is now at his home under the physician's care.

Government Crop ltulletin.

Rains have been badly distributed in this portion and the effect of the dry weather has been felt in strips. The condition of corn is not as satisfactory as two or three weeks ago and the crop is not as promising while not "firing," it begins to curl: on heel and clay land it is suffering. Tomatoes not doing much good on account of dry weather. Potatoes not very good crop: dry weather will make them scarce. Rye being sown. Clover nearly ready to cut for seed, seems to be well headed. Pastures needing ram badly. Apples and pears good and promise a fair yield.

A Chicken Thief Taken.

Dan Byroad, a withered and weather beaten old rascal who apparently antedates our old friend Methuselah by a few years, was ruthlessly clapped into jail Monday evening on the charge of chicken stealing. Dan is related to the troop of Trilbys rrom South Grant avenue and has been preying on the hen roosts of the South end for some time. He was bound over to the cir cuit court in the sum of $100, which sum is as good as a cool million. Dan wilted like a chopped gourd vine when he heard his fate, but after delibera tion he concluded that he would accompany the officers back to jail.

Ueatli of Mrs. Marion Ornbaun.

Word was received here Monday of the death of Mrs. Annie Ornbaun, wife of Marion Ornbaun, who died at her home at Yorkville, California. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. Mrs. Ornbaun was a resident of Crawfordsville for a number of years but with her husband and two children moved to Yorkville her present home about twenty-two years ago She was a sister of Mrs. Frank Nicholls and Mrs. Thornberry, of this city Marion Ornbaun is a brother of Ben Ornbaun.

A liude Clierul).

Cail Chadwick is a fat chubby lad in whose face as great intelligence gleams as is reflected from an overboiled apple dumpling. Carl was up before the Mayor Wednesday charged with having rudely shoved the nose of one Master Drury from its wonted position to a less favorable location around back of his left ear. This caused Master Drury to look rather odd as well as being painful for him. Mr. Chadwick pleaded guilty and was fined §1. ,, ants Ten Thousand.

Dr. J. S. McMurray, formerly of Linden, is the defendant in a 810,000 suit at Frankfort for alienating the affections of the wife of George H. Maddox. As both parties stand high in the community it has created somewhat of a sensation, even in Frankfort.

County Sunday School Convention. Probably the best attended and most enthusiastic Sunday school convention ever held in Montgomery county will be at the Potato Creek M. E. church on Friday, Aug. 23. A very excellent programme has been arranged in which topics of general interest will be considered. The Vandalia railroad has made a special low rate of 25 cents from Crawfordsville to Darlington and free conveyances will meet the delegates there and take them to the convention building. The farmers at this time in the year are not so busy but that they can and will attend, and persons living in the towns always go. All persons interested in Sunday school work are urged to be present.

From Another Standpoint.

We are informed from reliable parties in regard to the damage suit brought by Jane Michaels against S. S. Heath, the Alamo merchant, that Mr. Heath is not exclusively drugs, but a geueral merchant, carrying dry goods, boots and shoes, etc., and carries on a quiet, orderly business as any of the good people of the place will testify, selling very little liquor and that only in a lawful way. The charge does a great-injustice to Mr. Heatn.

A Good Account.

The Covington Republican Tuesday issued a special edition containing an account of the Shanks murder mystery. It was a commendable piece of work and well executed. .'-"V

—The members of the Montgomery County Poultry Association will meet at New Market at 1 o'clock, Saturday. Aug. 17. All persons interested in fine poultry are cordially invited to be present.
