A CrawlordBvllle Hoy Wlio is Some Shaken anl Who It Coining to the Front Out In Illinois.

The Peoria, 111., Journal introduces a two column article giving R. N. Whiteford's estimate of Poe, with the following personal notice of the versatile and accomplished "Bob": "Now there's Professor Whiteford, who directs the minds of the students in the Peoria high school along the lines of English literature and the classics, lie is a quiet, retiring, unassuming sort of a man and although his experience has been a varied one, the scenes of his life being laid in many States, he seldom talks of himself and aside from his occasional and casual reference to distant cities and the years he spent abroad the Professor cannot be induced to talk of himself. "The other evening Prof. Whiteford was engaged in conversation with a number of his friends and as was natural the subjects discussed were literary. Someone referred to the poet, writer and newspaper man, Edgar Allen Poe, and Prof. Whiteford volunteered some very interesting information as to the man. A friend of the instructor who was in the party repeated portions of the conversation to a Journal man and thus they-find their way into these columns in a manner that will probably be a surprise to the pedagogue. The informant further volunteered information which he learned personally to the effect that Prof. Whiteford, although a young man yet, has several times come to the front and brought himself to the attention of the public by his efforts along an educational line.

While attending college in Indiana he entered a contest managed by the In dianapolis News, which publication gave an §100 prize to the college student who would produce the best 500 I word essay on any subject. The sub' ject chosen by Whiteford was Shake' speare's "King Lear," and he landed I the S100 prize. While yet hardly over 20 years of age he entered a series of chess games, and having a phenomenal adaptability and skill at the game was awarded prizes and declared the amateur champion of the United States,

Ilis frieud says so far no one has been found Peoria who can beat him at the game. I'rof. Whiteford has a penchant for old and rare books and his collection is a valuable one, and was secured at considerable expense from various parts of the country. One of his literary productions was published in a local bookmaking concern and he recently received an order for his work from the librarian at St. Petersburg, Russia, through an Eastern publishing house. More recently the Professor was highly complimented by Prof. Richard G. Moulton, of the University of Chicago, for the papers he submitted during the university extension lecture course on the tragedies of Shakespeare."

BOB WHITEFORD. JUST, LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

Postmaster Vorla In Kemembereri Ily a Lady WIini»e Life He Savinl Several Years Ago In Germany,

Reauers of TUB JOUIIXAL will recall doubtless an incident which occurred five years ago during the travels of Ed Voris and C. N. Williams in« Europe, and which was related in one of Mr. Williams' letters to TUB JOURXAI,. At Weisbad, Germany, 1 Mr. Voris at the risk of his own life saved that of Mrs. Eiiza J. Tolinan, of Minneapolis, who was traveling in Europewith [»a partyx of friends. The old lady was standing on railroad track and failed to observe an approaching! train which would have killed her had she not been jerked from danger by Mr. Voris. Mr. Voris' foot was struck by the engine as" he left the track and £he was thrown with great force but fortunately escaped serious injury.

He had all but forgotten the incident until reminded of it Tuesday in a very pleasant manner. He received on the afternoon mail abetter apprising him that by the will of Mrs. Tolman, who recentiy died in Minneapolis, he was made a benefieiary in the sum of §500.

EXPIRATION OF APPELLATE COURT,

It Esda I11 1897. Despite the Names Mentioned as Candidates.

Occasionally the name of some one is heard mentioned as a candidate for Appellate Judge at the cnext State election. The understanding among legal minds is that the Appellate Court is a temporary assistant for the Supreme Court, and that it ceases to be after March, 1897. By a special act of the Legislature of 1893 the-present Appellate judges continue in office until January, 1897. The Supreme Court fell further and further behind in its work, until it was found that some assistance was needed. In 1891 the Appellate CourtJwas established for a period of six years, for the purpose of giving this assistance. As a result, the Supreme Court has been permitted to catch up in a sort of a way with its work, so that now a case may be reached as soon as nine or ten months after it is filed. The Appellate Court handles the minor cases, thus relieving the Supreme judges.

There is a question if the Supreme Court can ever continue without the assistence of the Appellate Court, and the next Legislature may be asked to continue the assistant court, but it may be a trifle early to make announcements for Appellate nominations. Certainly men cannot be elected next year to an office which becomes defunct, even though the Legislature should afterwards continue the office.

love Mo Litth*, Love Me Long.

Away last spring Frank Little, a rollickiDg young blade up about Linden, began making sheep's eyes at Maude Piggott, the daughter of Albert Piggott. They became engaged and the wedding day was set, so was the wedding table. Maude had cooked up a big batch of pies and fried a lot of chickens in anticipation of the happy event, when she learned regretfully that Frank had skipped for parts unknown. He was finally located in 111nois and requisition papers were obtained to bring the young man back on the charge of trifling with Maude's affections. He was arrested Tuesday and was brought back Wednesday.

PRETTY HOME WEDDIXG. THE PEOPLE.

Mr. Charles H. Ktlpiitrlck, of Cliicupo, nnd Miss Margaret M. .lotiiiHnn are United In tho Honda or

Alntritiiony.

At noon Wednesday at the residence of the bride's parents, Mi-, and Mrs. John Johnson, of G12 west Main street, occurred the marriage of Miss Margaret Maria Johnson and Mr. Charles H. Kilpatrick, of Chicago. About fifty relatives and near friends had assembled to witness the ceremony and the residence was most artistically and elaborately decorated for the event. On all sides were stately palms and rubber plants, with a profusion of cut flowers and graceful vines. At the hour appointed for ceremony Mendelssohn's wedding-march was played by Eddie Brandkamp and Prof, ltamsbroolc on piano and violin, and to the musicthe wedding party entered the parlor where before a beautiful floral bank in the oriel window the ceremony occurred. The party was headed by the ribbon bearers, little Miss Sue Binford, attired in white with a Napoleon bonnet, and Master Webster Babbit, who formed with the long ribbons they bore an aisle for the rest of the party. The maid of honor was the bride's nice, Miss Maj Drury, attired in a gown of brown silk with large picture hat covered in ostrich tips.

She bore, upon a white satin pillow, the wedding ring. The maid of honor was followed by the bride and groom. The bride* a stnkiugly handsome young lady, was attired in a most becoming going-away Parisian gown of brown Boucle, trimmed in Persian silk and silver. She wore the groom's gift of a diamond pin, and carried a white ivory prayer book. During the ceremony the bride and gioom faced the officiating clergyman, Rev. J. P. Crosson, of St. Bernard's church, who conducted the ritual of the Roman Catholic Faith in a most solemn and impressive manner. During the service the music discoursed was the sweet strains of the "Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengrin." Upon the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom signed the records of the church. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was served in courses and in the afternoon the happy couple left for a trip through the East. After February 1 they will be at home at 043

Washington Boulevard, Chicago. The bride was made the recipient of many very beautiful and costly presents, and the groom presented to each of the attendants handsome birth stone rings.

The marriage is a most happy one and can be viewed only in a gratulatory manner. The bride is a young lady of many virtues and accomplishments and becomes the wife of a most respected gentleman. Mr. Kilpatrick is of the engineering department of the C. & N. W. R. R. and is rapidly rising in his profession.

The guests from away were Mr. and Mrs. William Kilpatrick, father and mother of the groom Mrs. Jas. Johnson, Lawrenceburgli Rev. J. R. Dinnen, Lafayette Mr. and Mrs. James Gohen, Mrs. Estelle Montague, Indianapolis Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Florer, Lafayette.

Great Growth of Booster Cities.

Since natural gas began to be used in Indiana there have been instances of remarkable growth. Muncie for instance has grown in thrde or four years to a city of 20,000 people. Anderson, on the southern edge of the field, says the Gas Belt News, was a small place of about 2,000 population a few years ago. It has now 22,000 inhabitants and all the usual city improvements, fine buildings, paved streets, electric railways, etc. Marion, in the northern part of the field, and Kokomo in the northwest, have had about the same development. All this has been broughtaboutby the building of factories, the owners of them having moved from other localities because of the inducement of cheap fuel. Of course, accompanying this expansion of towns into cities, there is a great real estate speculation. Fortunes are made on small investments. In Muncie business property sells for 8350 to S450 a front foot, and when built upon will pay rents to justify these prices. Last summer a tract of 250 acres adjacent to Muncie was cut up into 1.300 lots. These have now all been sold at an aggregate price of £600.000.
