It came to pass that the times got harder ap£,harjdjer,. fo^ Charlej', so pa Mqnday ]iie ,.decided to malte! a raise. He walked into the wash-room: of the Robbins House, where the party clothes of Herbert Glover, porter of the'house and a young man with dude like tendencies, were hanging on the hook. Mr. Morton^ smothered the coat and wrapping it in a big newspaper walked coolly out, stopping on the way to exchange a few bits,. 1 of gossip with Glover. He proceeded at once to Oak Hill cemetery and there sold the coat to Master Millard Flynn for SI. Master Millard was in high glee and was the biggest swell in the crowd that attended the Mission Sunday School picnic Monday afternoon. He was so proud and puffed up that one of the other scholars refused to go along with such a dude went home.

Glover ttiissed the coat soon after it was stolen arid put the .'police on the trail of Mortop, whom he suspected. After ap extended' hunt. Mq^topj \yas found at the Junction House!and'taken to jaili He has 'confessed the '.theft and steemted tfery repentant!J He placed himgfelf among the penitentiary eligibles fdr a very sm&ll' {gain and it seems that he can hardly escape.1|He has parents living in Chicago, hej^tys and a wife in Danville, 111 •xtiltW

BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATIOS.

1 A

It was decided to call the organization "The Business Men's Association of Crawfordsville," and its object to do whatever seemed best to promote the business interests of this city.

A meeting will be called later on when it is found that something of a tangible nature can be presented for considei-ation.

At the meeting Monday evening a number of shortspeeches were made by citizens who were present, and about as many subjects were cliscqssed a$« there were,speeches arosf». The speech making like the world in the beginning. was-''.without form! antjlf,,void," but it showed pretty conclusively that we have wrongs that ribed*'amending and rights that need'defeh'dtng. If the association is properly- taklen charge of by t^ie riglit men it can1 be made an instrument, of' much good iij the community. ,,

Tlie Famous Courtnv.TH Again HroaU Into ?j."|-| Court A\ itl* Their Axiinuil Divorce Suit.

"Nothin' is surer than taxds." sig~h(id the immortal and willing Mr. Barcus' in a moment of contemplative rutnination.

ntlt Wmvn*

Had this 'fe^pected 'gentlfe'man lived! ill this day he would probably have' been called down on that statement,: paradoxical as it may seem. v.fEhere is one institution that is just a little bit' surer than taxes, and that institution, gentle reader, is the aunual divorce' suit of Rebeeea and Tom Courtney, of Waynetown. Those dwelling on the banks of the Nile reckon on its annual overflow, the inhabitants of the coast of the Bay of Eundy reckon on the certainty of the great Spring tido, and the inmates of llockville look forward with unerring surety to the annual appearance of Uncle Tom's Cabin at the opera house, but none of these peoples are quite so sure of their dead certainties as the good people of Waynetown are sure of the annual Courtney divorce suit. The equinoxes and the solstices are simply not in it with the Courtney case when it comes to the certainty of recurrence. It is surer than the rising of the sun and the going down thereof. Yes, it is even surer that taxes.

The domestic life of Tom and Rebecca Courtney has not been what tJrover Cleveland said his married life Wis—"a grand, sweet song." It has been, on the dbntrary, wild domestic vagary. Four times have they marched into court to be operated upon "by the judicial cleaver which made their oneness a lamentable twoness. Four times have they marched to the vine covered domicle of good old parson Snaggle and had this lamentable twoness fused by the heat of a ministerial benedictiop into a felicitously felicitous oneness. And now they are at it again! i«- ivs! I .•--'.is

A twoness of the oneness is again desired and as usual by the virtuous and long suffering Rebecca. No economic and frugal housewife ever revamped an old garment more often and more assiduously than Rebecca has revamped her domestic relations with Thomas. She has turned the inside outside then the outside inside.

On Wednesday, in the circuit court Nebeker & Sim ins filed the annual complaint against Tom. Her fourth marriage with this old blatherskite oc e'urred in 1894 and in a month, aB al'ivays before, he was insanely jealous. -Be flourished that game old rusty re'Voider just like lie' did the other threfe 'tithes atid threatened her lite with thlej 'time zeal- lind fetfvor

Niow Ross, Aug. 21.—The pleasure~of a hunting party was sadly broken up this morning by Charles Morris fatally shooting himself through the abdomen, A mile east of here a Mr. Clemens, of Wilksville, Oliio, was chaperoning his son Mack and Charlep Morris iu a hunting expedition. They left home last Monday week ^or an extended pleasure outing in Illinois. Everything was pleapayt until they awoke this morning. .^Mr. Clemens arose and told the boys lie w,ould go and get a bucket of water, but he was scarcely out of the wagon when the boys b»?gan scuffling. Morris, after a moment's tussle, grabbed a Smith & WeBseti pistol of 32 calibre and grasp* ing it by the barrel was striking at young Mack Clemens with the handle. It seems that he put the pistol against Clemens while his finger was on the trigger. No sooner did he give the sudden shove than the report rang out full and loud and Morris fell back fatally hliot. The bullet entered an inch below tlie navel and was found in the back, between the hip bones', having plowed clear through the abdomen. Dr. Bronaugli hastily went to the scene of the accident apd after ap examination pronounced the case very critical. The unfortunate young man was brought here at 9 o'clock to the Peterson House, where hq lies suffering great pain. He is 23 years of age, single, and the son of a prominent and well-to-do farmer. Once again has apiece of carelessness with a pistol caused much trouble and sorrow. The news of the fatality was sent to the parents of the unfortunate young man. u3 i5

AT GAS CITY.

Tlie Crawfordsville People There Are Said I

In a two column write-up of the pottery industry started at Gas City by Crawfordsville people the

Journal

that place, says: In March of the present year the Gas City Land Co. contracted with Messrs. D. W. Cox, D. W. Hartman, E. E. Spencer and Harrie Pontious, of Crawfordsville, to locate a pottery wo,rks at this place.

Work on the construction of the buildings was soon afterward commenced but on a much larger scale than called for by the terms of' the contract. The main building instead of. being 3,0 by 80 feet was, made 98 by 60 feet or considerably niore than double the size specified by the cbntrabt.

The second building instead of beipg 53x72 feet is 42x7,0 feet, The kijns have been built en an enlarged plan. Therd is a Warehouse yet to be bWlt and this will be much larger than originally planned., iTihe: construction of the buildipgs apd their equipipqn^ and inside arrangenient has beeh under the direction of' D. 'W. Cox,tthohas 'had1a great'deal iof,' 'practical experience uin such ?york and,Mr. Qox states, that tbe arrangements are in accordance with the most modern and best known ideas of construction and he believes they have the most convenient and most perfectly constructed plant in the United States. The capacity of the Pottery works is 15,000 gallons per week. ii"!

A line of goods which will be largely manufactured by. the Pottery. Company and which is not included in the above figure, is flower pots. Two flewer pot machines will soon be put in eacti'bf which will have a capacity of 6,000 pots per day.

The Pottery Company has special facilities for the disposal of its products and the members of tbe company state that they have no doubt but t'hey will rUn the factory from the start' and for an indefinite time at. its fullest-capaci-ty. All the members of the,firm will in tike Gas City their home excepting Mr. Pontious, who will have headquarters at Chicago and look aftel* the s&le of the products of the factory. /aixxcJ
