and gladly say, alter using them, the dis-! tress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS have given me a new lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice.

BURNED OUT.

The General Store of J. P. Wirt & Company at Alamo, is Destroyed By Fire.

Last Thursday about 11 p. m. George I^ancock, of Alamo, who was up with a sick child, discovered that the big general store of J. P. Wirt & Co., was on fire. He quickly gave the alarm and all Alamo was soon on the scene, among the first being Mrs. Gilbert Titus, wife of one of the firm. Wash Titus, a clerk, broke open the door and rescued the books. Besides the books a few boxes of shoes only were saved. The fire had tremendous headway when discovered and the building was burned to the ground. The efforts of the bucket brigade were entirely directed to saving the adjacent drug store of S. S. Heath, and it was only by the hardest kind of work that the flames were confined to the Wirt building, Heath's store taking on fire twice.

It is supposed that the fire was due to some defect in the flue of the store. The loss was a heavy one and is partially covered by insurance.

Judgment for the Durham Estate.

Judge A. D. Thomas has returned fi*om Muncie, where he went as repre sentative of John M. Shultz, assignee of the estate of Wm. H. Durham. The Durham estate had claims aggregating to $100,000 against the Muncie Nail Works, and Judge Thomas succeeded in getting judgment for the estate in the sum of $47,811. The court refused to render judgment for the money which Mr. Durham had given the company while it was located in Greencastle as the Greencastle Nail Works Company. Although receiving a judgment for 847,811 the estate will be able to collect only a small per cent, of the amount. The assets of the Muncie Nail Company amount to about only 820,000.

He Wants Damages.

'Squire Sam N. Warbritton, of New Market, has sued the Vandalia railroad for 81,0U0 damages. He alleges that in November he contracted with the road to transport a load of stock to Indianapolis and give him transportation in the caboose. At Colfax he had to change cars and arriving there thought he was in Darlington. He asked the conductor to confirm the idea, bnt received no answer. Soon the train began to pull out and the conductor then told him that they had ppssed Colfax and urged him to jump from the train. He did so and received personal injuries for which he demands 81,000 damages.

They Fear Landis.

Lebanon Patriot: At the Democratic district convention held at Frankfort last week, ot^e of the speakers gave the candidacy of Chas. B. Landis a good start. This orator said that if the Democrats expect to defeat Landis, who would more than likely be the Republican candidate for Congrese, it was neccssary to put their best men forward to manage the Democratic party's affairs, as Landis was one of the brainiest men and shrewdest politicians they had to encounter during the coming campaign.

NATIONAL KEELEY LEAGUE.

The Annnai Meeting Will Occur In Indianapolis August 18 to SO.

The National Keeley League will meet in Indianapolis Aug. 18 to 20 in the hall of the Indiana House of Representatives. It has a membership in the United -States of 30,000. The league has no connection with the Keeley institutes, being an organization purely for the charitable purpose of helping inebriates.

Thomas E. Barry, of Chicago, secretary of the league, is making preparations for the meeting. He states that from 3,000 to 4,000 of the members uf the league are expected to attend the meeting, this being the usual quota. He proposes to have Dr. Keeley there if possible for that gentleman to complete his arrangements to this end. The president of the league is Andrew J. Smith, of Leavenworth, Kas., assistant adjutant-general of the Sixth army corps. The headquarters are at 260 S. Clark street, Chicago.

Mr. Smith states that the number of cured men in the United States by Dr. Keeley's methods is 275,000. Four thousand men in the soldiers' homes have been cured. The past year the cure was introduced into the regular army, the institute being at Ft. Leavenworth. The government owns the institute and medical officials of the army attend to its administration.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.

Taylor Thompson is Elected County Chairman With R. F. Beck as Secretary.

The Democratic Central Committee met last Saturday in the petit jury room for the purpose of electing a county chairman and assistants to prosecute the campaign. The officers were elected unanimously and are as follows:

Chairman—Taylor Thompson. Secretary—R. F. Beck. Treasurer—James Wright. There was a forlorn effort made last Saturday to encompass the defeat of Mr. Thompson, but it fell flat. The opposition was not sufficient to be accorded recognition even.

For Sheriff.

William Hiatt, a popular and well known citizen of Crawfordsville, who asks for the nomination for sheriff of Montgomery county, was born in Franklin township and has always lived in this county. He has been a life long Republicana and the son of a life long Republican, In early life he was the victim of an accident with a reaper which cut off one of his feet, but undaunted and with a brave heart he started out to fight life's battle on one foot. In the last race for the nomination for sheriff, in June, '92, he demonstrated his ability to run and gained second place. He now asks the voters of Montgomery county who always aim to be just to their fellowmen to give him a lift along life's rough road. He is honest, sober, industrious and brave, and will make an efficient officer.

Washington's Birthday.

The county board of education hflp issued a programme of literary exercises to be carried out in the county schools in honor of Washington's birthday on the afternoon of Feb. 21, Feb. 22 being on Saturday. The following is the skeleton of the programme, which is published in full in the pamphlets issued by the board: 1. Song by school—"My Country 'TIs of

Rev. Frank is to receive SI,400 for his services arid 850 for expenses that may be attached in moving here. He will move here and take charge of his work as soon as a suitable house can be scured in which to move. Rev. Lane will move to his farm near Baiubridge, about the first of March to remain awhile for the country air, after which he contemplates moving to Greencastle.

Insurance Paid.

The Royal Society of Good Fellows Saturday paid to the widow of Dr. Theodore McMechan $3,000 insurance which the Doctor had carried. This order had previously paid the policies here of Abe Bishof and James Wallace.

COMMITTEE ORGANIZED.

John K. Bonnell Reelected Chairman by a Unanimous Vote—Other Officers Chosen.

1

The newly elected Republican Central Committee met last Saturday at the court room for the purpose of organization and the election of officers to serve during the ensuing two years. The committee was called to order at 1:30 o'clock by J. R. Bonnell, the chairman of the old committee. A call of the roll revealed the fact that every member of the forty-two precincts with one exception was present and answered to his name. Such an attendance of a county committee is unprecedented. After stating the object of the meeting Mr. Bonnell called Wm. A. Deitrick, Vice-chairman of the old committee, to the chair. In a few well chosen words A. R. Yount, of Ripley withdrew the name of Marshall Nye as a candidate for chairman. Thereupon W. W. Tiffany, of Coal Creek township, moved that John R. Bonnell be elected Chairman of the Republican County Central Committee by acclamation. This was seconded by Briley Douglass, of Madison, in a speech breathing harmony, loyalty and good will. The motion was carried with a unanimons, rousing and enthusiastic aye. C. E. Davis, of Union, moved that John W. Perry, of Walnut, be elected Vice Chairman by acclamation, andG. E. Brewer, of Clark, made the same motion for W. E. Nicholson as Treasurer, Both motions were carried unanimously. Chairman Bonnell asked the privilege of naming his own Secretery, which request was granted This is in line with the policy heretofore in practice.

1

The business of the meeting having been concluded, speeches were called for by F. M. Dice, W. M. Reeves, Frank Abraham, W. T. Teister, C. Travis, G. E. Brewer and others who entertained the committee with rousing addresses.

The meeting of the committee was in every respect one of the most successful ever held in the county. Dem' ocrats were building up their hopes for success upon a divided Republican party. The friendly contest between two most excellent Republicans for the chairmanship they mistook for a factional fight. The family row they had advertised did not come off, greatly to their chagrin and disappointment. The meeting of Saturday gave evidence that the Republican party of Montgomery county is united and will pre #ent an unbroken front against Democracy this Fall.

i: Dr. Tucker's l'oor I.awyor.

Terre Haute Tribune: Jacob Breat zel, a young German, of Redmond, 111., and Miss Maggie Humphrey, near Paris, secured a marriage license at Paris, on December 24, and came to Terre Haute to be married, presenting themselves at the parsonage of the Cantenary M. E. chtrchr on north Seventh street. When Rev. Tucker saw the license, he had some questions about the legality of a marriage solemnized with the authority vested in the document from' a different county and State. He had consulted a lawyer, but the attorney was ignor ant of matrimonial law and said that it would be proper to marry the couple, so they were united. The minister returned the license to the county clerk of Edgar county, says the Paris Gazette, and Mr. Maddock at once saw that the marriage was an irregular one. He notified Mr. Breatzel of the circumstances, and he came to Paris at once. An attorney 'was consulted and he told the Redmond citizen that the marriage was irregular. A man must get married in the county in which the license is obtained to make the nuptial event valid in law. The couple were accordingly remarried.

Politics and The Flag.

The American flag is- for every American, no matter what his politics and no politics should be mixed up with the flag. We understand there is some little rivalry over the proposed flag raising at the Possum Ridge school house as to whether the pole be of Democratic hickory or Republican ash. Our advice to the committee in charge is to select-a pole of some other wood, rather than have any trouble and thus disgrace the flag that both sides want to honor.

An Accommodating Council.

The Town Council at Jamestown at its last meeting raised the saloon license from $25 to 8100 per year. Richard Bush, the only saloonkeeper there, threatened to remove his bar elsewhere. The Council arranged a called

meeting, requesting Bush's presence, when he was asked how much of a raise he would stand. By mutual agreement the license was then re-

duced to $50.

A HOT BOARD ARTIST.

Sanford Mclntyre la Arrested on Thtt Charge of Being a Chicken Thief and Acknowledges Bis Guilt.

Sanford Mclntyre is a gay and prancing bridegroom who was married two three weeks ago to Miss Lookabaugh, of Hendricks county, and who has been acquiring wealth by hooking chickens by wholesale. He is only twenty two years old and not long ago was a student in the Business college here. For two monthB past he has been engaged in the chicken stealing buBiuess and has made it pay. He was suspected by the Horse Thief Detectives, however, and last Friday Sam Fraley, L. W. Cochran and L'lther Long learned that he was about to start off one of his raids. He had hired the horee and spring wagon of Joe Irwin in the Valley and drove east. He was followed by the three detectives and at his very first stop near Mace was arrested. He drew a big revolver but was overpowered before he could use it and was brought to town. He acknowledged his guilt and states that on the night of December 23, alone he stole Beven dozen of chickens collecting them from the roosts of the following parties: Alvin Clark, Charlee Driver, Erastus Bales, Sam Kellison, P. A. Weliver, John Wilkinson, James Spencer, Kashner Ella Flannigan, George Enoch and Mrs. Carpenter

Mclntyre states that he will plead guilty as there is nothing else for him to do. Prosecutor Kennedy filed the papers in the case last Saturday in the circuit court.

THE COUNTY SCHOOLS.

The Term Will Not Be 80 Long as Usual Nor Sufficient to Complete the Course.

It has developed that the school funds on hand in the several townships are insufficient to carry on school for the usual length of terms. In somo£ of the townships the term will be less than fiye months and in no township will it be over six months. This shortening of the terms is to be greatly regretted as sufficient time to complete the course is not given. It is impossible to state just the cause of the deficiency but it is largely due, perhaps, to the falling off in the enumeration.

Montgomery has always shown considerably more conscience in her enumeration of school children than other counties and has consequently always got the worst of it. Hereafter, however, the enumeration will be conducted under the new law which is 6aid to preclude the possibility of any extended fraud. This law will be a mighty good thing for Montgomeryr-Jf county.

Ben-Hnr at Waynetown.

Waynetown Dispatch: Wednesdaysevening Rev. W. H. Kerr and John WjW Stroh, of Crawfordsville, entertained our people at the Christian church with a lecture on the order of„Ben-Hur, stereopticon views greatly adding to the pleasure aud entertainment of thef' |laudience. The two gentlemen are working among our people and court will be established in the next few days. It seems useless for us to^s allude to Ben-Hur as an order worthy the support and confidence of otir people, as it well known already to every man, woman and child in the county. Let us have Ben-Hur and never stop until the court is a larger and prosperous one.

Clipper Base Bait Club.

The Clipper base ball club for this season has been organized and the team intends to show that Crawfordsville has as good amateurs as some of our larger cities. To defray expenses of new uniforms they will give a dance at the Red Men's hall Thursday evening, Jan. 30th. It will be a strictly first-class ball and no immoral characters will be admitted. Tickets will be solp by the members of the club. The ,* boys deserve a hearty support.

To Be Married.

Belleville, 111., Advocate: Mr. H. E. Sies, the local agent of the American Express Co., and Miss Lillie Schloerer-%' will be married on "Monday, Jan. 27, at the residence of the young lady's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Schloerer, 315 Julia street..

Mr. Sies was formerly a resident of Crawfordsville, and was connected for several years with the American Express agency here.

A Jolly for The Judge.

The Rockville Journal speaking of Judge Harney's new court rules relative to the brow-beating of witnesses by attorneys says: Bully for Judge Harney. This rule, rigidly and fearlessly enforced, has long been one of the needs of the Montgomery Circuit Court, and would not be amiss in any court. Witnesses have rights which attorneys should be forced to observe^'
