THE VETERANS MEET.

The Lew Wallace Battalion Will Number Three Hundred—An Organization Kffeoted.

A meeting of veterans was held at McPherson Post hall Friday afternoon preparatory to the organization of the Lew Wallace Veteran Battalion. Reports %v6re heard from the committee appointed by McPherson Post and from comrades representing other Posts.

Commander Charles W. Scott of Rich Mountain Post, No. 42, Lebanon, reported through the local committee that his Post had voted to join the Wallace Battalion, and that at least 50 and possibly 100 would join from Boone county.

A report was read from Capt. J. B. Shaw, of Lafayette, that from 50 to 100 would join the battalion from Lafayette at Indianapolis.

Comrade John T. Harrell reported the names of six comrades from John Cosfcow Post at Parkersburg. Communications were read from other comrades. It is espected that -not less than 00, and possibly 100, will go from Crawfordsville and that the invited Posts from adjoining counties will swell the number of the battalion to 300. It was determined to adopt a staff for the battalion to be made of Tennessee cedar with a small flag attached, the staff to be six feet in length-. Each member of the battalion is to carry one of these as a distinctive emblem of the battalion. Comrade H. H. Talbot was appointed to attend to securing these staffs and flags.

The committee reported that the banner of the battalion was being made in Chicago and it was decided that posts and other veteran organizations joining should be requested to carry their flags only, having but the one banner for the battalion.

There is no doubt that the Lew Wallace Veteran Battalion will be one of the prominent features of the National Encampment, in fact such prom, inence has already been given it that the citizens' committee at Louisville are making special arrangements for its entertainment and Gen. Wallace is now booked for three camp fire speeches, on the evening of Sept. 10, one at New Albany, one at Jeffersonville and one at Lousville, and the Chickamauga committee have extended a very flattering invitation for the Lew Wallace Veteran Battalion to attend the ceremonies of dedication of the Chickamauga National Park on Sept. 19. Whether the battalion will attend as a body will be determined at Louisville. The battalion will meet for drill and instruction at McPherson Post hall every Saturday at 2 p. m. and every Thursday at 7 p. m. All veterans are requested to attend these meetings.

The exact place of assembling at Louisville Sept. 11 for the parade will soon be published.

Montgomery County Sunday School Convention. One of the test Sunday school conventions ever held in Montgomery county was held Friday at Potato Creek. An extra coach was added to the 8:15 Vandalia train and the coach was filled with enthusiastic persons, bound for the convention grounds. On the arrival of the train at Darlington free conveyances were furnished all of the delegates. The day was all that could be desired considering that the convention was held in a grove. The programme, as given below, was unusually fine, all the speakers being highly complimented. One of the best dinners ever served at a convention was given all present, for which a special vote of thanks was extended. The convention adjourned to meet at Wingate the fourth Friday in November. All returned home feeling that a day had been well spent. You can't afford to miss these conventions, so be sure to attend the next one.

CRUEL AXL) INHUMAN".

James A. Morgan, of this city, says in his petition for a divorce that his wife, Anna, has not been good to him, that she has cursed and she has swore, that she will not cook his beef steak or their child's, that she will not attend to her housewife duties. In fact, that Anna is very bad indeed, that she has an uncontrolable temper, that she has called him all sorts of vile names unprovoked, and left him more than a year ago when December blasts were chilly, chilly.

PECULIARLY SAD CASE.

Charles Morris Suffers Intense Pain Until Death Relieves Him.

Special to the Journal. New Ross, Aug. 23.—Charles Morris, who accidentally shot himself Tuesday morning one mile east of here, died this morning at 3 o'clock, after suffering intensely for thirty-six hours. Drs. Bronaugh and King removed the bullet Wednesday morning from the middle of the back. Young Morris had a team and wagon and considerable money with him. No arrangements have yet been made for the disposition of the body.

Twice ltobbed.

J. L. Church is a merchant of Linden and runs two stores, one a grocery, the other a combination of clothing and dry goods. Mr. Church runs these stores on the installment plan as it were. That is he stays in the grocery store directly across the street opposite the other one all the time except when somebody wants to buy a pair of pantaloons, then he crosses over and does business on the other side. Last week some naughty robber robbed the grocery. Thursday somebody kicked in the shutters of the store and helped themselves to the good things, traded suits of clothes, boots, biled shirt and all, leaving the old one instead. Fair exchange is no robbery, but this is not Mr. Church's interpretation, so he is after him «yet. It is supposed to be the work of local talent or tramps.

Musical Day.

The big musical day at the State fair will be on Wednesday, September IS, when the Second Regiment band, of Chicago, Rogers' Goshen band, Shelbyville Military band and the Indianapolis Military band—in all over 140 musicians—will give a grand concert in front of the grand stand. The musical programme will conclude with the "March of Nations," participated in by all of the bands, and the military organizations of the city of Indianapolis, uniformed in grand style to represent the soldiery of France, Germany, England and the United States. This will be a gaand affair and will doubtless attract thousands of people.

To Chattanooga.

A number of old soldiers want to go to Chattanooga from the Louisville encampment to see the National Park. C. M. Travis has received a letter from Charles T. Muller, superintendent of the park, saying that he would be very glad to have General Wallace and his battalion come to the park. Camp quarters will be furnished the eight days from Sept. 15 to 22 for $2, including lavatories and care of hand baggage while out of camp. The fare from Louisville both ways is S6.35. Those desiring to go should report to Dr. Leech before Sept. 10.

Tbe Ghost Scared Him.

Last week Fred Reed Went out to see the ghost, and just when he was about disgusted with ghost business the spook appeared close to him. Fred was out of the buggy, standing beside the horse, which became frightened at sight of the white, misty figure and began to rear and kick, striking Fred on the knee. The wound is painful but not serious, as he is able to be out now. Fred is now an earnest believer in ghosts.

THE BLACK HILLS.

Furnishes Another Victim For The Graveyard-

THIS TIME IN THE PERSON OF A MAN.

William Fullen, of Ladoga, Shuttles oil" by the Suicide ltoute.

Under a clump of thorn trees just beyond the last house of notorious Black Hills at noon last Friday a man breathed his last. He was William Fullen, of Ladoga. One man was present when he died. By his side lay a pint bottle of laudanum. Out of this Fullen drank his everlasting portion—more than half of it. Undoubtedly he was going to finish himself while he was at it. He did.

A few days ago Fullen came here and went straightway out to Black Hills. This demonstrated that he was foolish. A day or so after he left for Michigan with the notorious Annie Curtis. Then he was a fool. lie was gone until Thursday when he and the woman returned. They took up headquarters with that old hag, Betty Plush. Last Friday Fullen was seen on the streets with Betty, and he seemed to be in a very pleasant humor. At about II o'clock he left the Plush dive saying he was going down under the trees and if anybody called for him to tell them he was asleep. It appears that he took the stuff at once, for at 12 o'clock he was sleeping the eternal sleep. To all appearances he had once been a sensible fellow. His forehead was high, surmounted by a heavy growth of red hair. He wore a short, stubby red mustache and is, of course, sandy complexioned. He was neatly dressed and wore a coat and vest of navy blue, grey trousers, tan shoes and a neat derby hat. On one of the fingers of his left hand he had a costly gold ring. He had a fine gold watch and chain and some money. People are at somewhat of a loss to understand why he should take his own life. It certainly could not be on the account of the woman in the case,for she has been in the asylum a time or two and has no other estimable qualities. She has been married three times before. She seemed to know nothing or care nothing for Fullen, for when told of his death only grinned and would not go to where he was. While standing by the side of Fulien's dead body screaky voices of the Plush gang could be heard in maudlin song at the house noar by.

Coronor Barcus was called upon and made an examination of the body and also held an examina tion at the Plush house. It is said that there was some sensational evidence brought out but this could not be obtained.

Metropolitan Darlington.

When a few more pipes are laid Darlington will have water works. The water comes from a large and what is said to be an inexhaustible well, and is forced into the mains by means of an automatic engine. This engine is a little wonder and its mechanism is so perfect that the mains are always filled with water at a uniform pressure. It is regulated and controlled by governors. If a small quantity of water is taken out anywhere along the line, thte movement of the engine is scarcely perceptible, but if a large quantity is withdrawn, as in case of fire, then the engine works with great rapidity. The pressure seems as strong as that furnished here. Water privileges, sprinkling and all are 812 a year, ltockville and other small towns in this part of the State are discussing the advisability of adopting this system. Darlington citizens swelled up with pride the other day when Rockville sent her city engineer, attorney and councilmen to examine the plant.

lloine Horses Win.

Owners of Crawfordsville fliers ought to be feeling quite pleasant to-day. Looks like they rather scooped things over at Lebanon last Friday. Everybody here knows that Que Allen is all right. He won easily in three strights. There were a number of other good horses in the race, too, among them Rensselaer Wilkes, time 2:20, 20X and 21%.

Another horse not so well known here did good work. Roe Byrd's D. M. B. won easily in three straight heats. His time was good and those who know D. M. B. say he is a coming horse. Time 2:25%, 26 and 27.

Mr. Furr's Ora Andrian had an easy time winning the running race in two heats.

PART FIRST

ROBBED AGAIN.

The Old Miser, Jimmie Oevan, I ft Knocked In the Head and lioHeved of Ills Money.

For the second time within two years Jimmie Devan, the miser, has become the victim of robbers. The first robbery occurred near the Iron Bridge, when the old man was assailed by two masked fellows and robbed of a considerable sum. It has been notorious for years that he always has a fat wad on his person, and the only wonder is that he is not sandbagged and robbed every change of the moon. He is a weak old fellow and is unable to resist his assailants. The robbery bunday occurred in the pasture on his farm near Oak Hill. Devan had gone out to attend some stock and was approached from behind by some fellow who dealt him a terrible blow on the head with a club. Jimmie dropped like an over-ripe pippin and his assailant or assailants went through his pockets. They secured one wad containing ©137 and then left, overlooking several hundred dollars which was concealed elsewhere about his dirty old duds. The victim finally regained his senses and went shambling off to the house, where he told his tale of woe. The police were hastily summoned and Roe Miller and two bloodhound pups called from Darlington. The dogs were young and the trail was dry, so that much difficulty was experienced in the hunt. However, the spot where the booty was divided was finally found, and the pocketbook, with some papers, was discovered. The money was minus, however.

The police have well grounded suspicions as to the identity of the robbers and arrests will doubtless be made very shortly. There is little or no sympathy expressed for the victim of the outrage. He is not the sort of a character that excites sympathy. Selfish, dirty and grasping he has made an unenviable name. However, this is no reason why the perpetrators of the crime should not be run down and given the limit of the law.

FOR THE REPORTERS.

Arrangements Made By the Fair Association to Treat them Kight.

J. J. Insley, superintendent of the speed ring of the "Greatest on Earth," has done himself proud for the newspaper men. Eyery since there has been a "Greatest," reporters took even chances to get a seat in the grand stand with everybody else, and were then expected to give an accurate account of the races. It will be so no more, and now the reporter of a Crawfordsville paper may luxuriate in ease. Mr. Insley has added another story to the judges' stand and reporters will have a nice cool room well supplied with tables and chairs, where they may sit, write and observe. The press will certainly appreciate this courtesy.

W. W. Morgan has secured excursion rates on all railroadB. Half fare rates will be charged. On Thursday, Sept. 12, the Monon will run a special train from Blooinington, leaving there at 9.30 a. m. Returning it will leave here at 6 o'clock in the evening. No special train could be secured for Friday on account of the G. A. R. encampment at Louisville.

rom a Waveland Point of Tien. Waveland Independent: Crawfordsville is getting a good deal of unsatisfactory advertising away from home just now.—Aryus News.

Yes and who is responsible for it? The newspapers of that "hang-out of poets and statesmen," as the Rockville Tribune calls it, have unitedly opposed the reforms undertaken by the Good Citizens' League, particularly with regard to the enforcement of the Sunday closing law, and each has tried to outdo the others in publishing absurd misrepresentations of the purposes of the League. They have been so unfair as to reprint everything that appeared in the neighborhood press against the proposed (and badly needed) reforms, but not one word that was favorable to them and thus, in conjunction with an unpatriotic mayor, who, after neglecting his duties until as he himself said, "the people insisted that the laws be enforced," proceeded to extreme lengths with the avowed purpose of "making the laws odious"—between these two agencies a condition of affairs has been brought about that was never dreamed of by the Law and Order people. Her newspapers ^nd city officials have done Crawfordsville infinitely more harm than could have been done by the most fanatical of Law and Order Leagues. And the way those papers have been trying to "crawfish" within the past few days is amusing.
