IT'S BILL'S BOODLE.
The Appellate Court Givfis AVill 5obou a Favorable Decision.
Some time ago Will Goben, son of ex-Auditor Goben, was fired from a Monon train after paying his fare, the conductor insisting that he had not. Goben sued and through his attorney, A. B. Anderson, got judgment for 82,000 in the Carroll county court. The Appellate Court last Thursday affirmed the decision, Judge Davis holding: 1. The doctrine of contributory negligence has no application to cases in the nature of assault and battery. 2. Among the elements making up the damages for having been wrongfully ejected-from a train are pain, -suffering, loss of time and his feelings of shame and humiliation occasioned by the wrongful conduct of the company through its conductor of the train. 3. Where a passenger did not produce his train check and was ejected from the train it is not error to sustain an objection to the following question: "Don't you know that if you had produced that ticket it would have stopped all trouble between you?" because the question sought to elicit the opinion of the plaintiff at the trial as to what the effect would have been on the occasion when he was expelled if he had then produced the conductor's check.
Expansion Litigation.
The ditch suit of McGwire against Martz from Sugar Creek township was in progress Friday before the circuit court. The JOURNAL knews nothing of the merits of the case and only speak of it to call attention to the expensive method of settling difference between neighbors. Aside from the ill feeling engendered both parties will be held for a large bill of expense. Attorneys, witnesses and court 'costs must be paid. Of course the losing litigant will bear the bulk, but it is even questionable whether the successful man is successful after all. How much better for both parties concerned if they could have consented to submit the the matter in dispute to arbitration. Each could have selected a fair minded man and if those two could not agree a third could have been chosen. The result would in every way be equally as satisfactory as a suit in court and Would have saved to both parties an immense bill of expense.
For Clerk. v'v.iV-
George Hultz, of west Pike street, whose announcement is found elsewhere in this paper, is a descendant of one of the first settlers of Montgomery county, his grandfather, Joseph F. Hultz, having settled in Brown township in 1833. Mr. Eultz is a self m&de man in the full sense of the term. Being left an orphan at the tender age of six years, be has by the dint of indusand economy achieved an enviable place among his fellowmen. Mr. Hultz educated in the Ladoga Normal and has taught in six of the townships of the county. He studied law quite a while with the Kennedys and is thoroughly competent for the place. Mr. Hultz is 39 years old and has spent thirty-seven consecutive years of that time in Montgomery county. Hence he is not a stranger to the people, but his wide acquaintaince and pleasant address will tmake him. a formidable candidate if nominated.
Reversed.
The Appelate court last Friday reversed the case wherein John Buskirk had gotten judgment against Daniel Lewis, administrator, in tbe circuit court here. Judge Lotz held: 1. An incompetent witness is one who does not answer the requirements of law. 2. When a claim is filed against a decedent's estate the widow of the deceased may testify to the validity of the claim when she is interested in protecting the estate and her interest is adverse to that, of the claimant. Nor is it necessary to show what such witness will testify to before she may be permitted.
Foi Representative.
Capt. E. T. McCrea is announced in to-day's JOURNAL as a candidate for renomination for Representatve to the State Legislature before the Republican convention. The Captain is well known to the people of Montgomery county and needs no introduction. He served in the.last House, and made a safe and conservative member He can be depended npon to be found upon the right side of every question.

Last Fricfay afternoon at the Coffin factory, Chad Griest had several fingers terribly lacerated and maimed on a buzz saw. Mr. Griest has been working with the most dangerous machinery at the factory for twenty years and his is his first accident.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1896.-TWELVE PAGES
STUDENTS GET GAY.
They Hang Out Flag*, Capture Ilivnl daymen and Circulate a Silly and UlHRUStillR ltORUH.
The Freshmen and Sophomores of Wbbasli College were up Friday night, chasing the streets in sweaters and slouch hats, clutching dangerous looking clubs and breathing out threatenings and slaughter. They were pretty tame rabbits, however, so nobody sat up in the expectation of witnessing murder.
About three o'clock the Freshmfen mounted to the fourth story of the bitizen's Bank building and hung out one of their banners. When they arrived on the fourth flour they found three Sophs and captured two of them—Pattison and Hedrick—who were tied up, neck and heels, and tossed in a corner like two Spring lambs ready for market. The third Soph., Weimar, escaped, but as he went someone clipped him over the head with a ub, causing the blood to flow profusely. The Freshmen held the fort until ten o'clock on Saturday when they turned Hedrick and Pattison loose and took down their flag, the Sophs having refused to make an attempt to take it down, although they congregated in the street, under the leadership of one McClure, and yelled dismally.
In the afternoon the Sophs got up on the top of Fisher block and hung out a banner of their own, yelling like a lot of Pine Ridge Indians. As no one seemed disposed to haul the banner down it was still floating at night like a 47 cent shirt on a clothes line.
President Burroughs publicly an nounced several times that he would expel whoever raised or defended a flag Saturday BO it seems that a goodly portion of the student body is doomed.
During Friday night some senseless fellows circulated a "bogus" accusing some of tbeir fellow students of high crimes and immorality.
QUITE A STIR.
Rev. W. H. Hickman's Remark on the Entertalumcnt Given By a Sister Church Causes Unfavorable Comment.
Last Sunday evening at Terre Haute Rev. W. H. Hickman, formerly of this city, made some very caustic remarks regarding dancing, card playing and the theater, using the Pearl Bryan murder to illustrate the evil which grows out of Buch amusements. In the course of his sermon he is said to have made some very derogatory re marks concerning the "Kirmis" which was recently given there by the ladies of St. Stephens church. As the ladies of St. Stephens church realized over 81,000 from the entertainment, they are inclined to believe that the Doctor's remarks savor somewhat of the invidious. The young people who participated are all members of the leading families of the city and the denunciation of Mr. Hickman has invoked much criticism. The young ladies who danced in the "Kirmis" aire very indignant and are said to refer to Dr. Hickman as "a horrid old thinrr."
Oratorical Contest.
The primary oratorical contest, to determine who

Announcement of Judges' Decision. The speakers all acquitted themselves with credit and the result was in great doubt until the decision of the judges was made known. The positions were awarded as follows:, First, Mr. Bell second, Mr. Rauch third, Mr. Sonne fourth, Mr. Fine. Mr. Bell, the winner, is from Terre Haute.
A Happy Idea.
At the last meeting of McPherson Post it was ordered that the comrades be requested to procure pictures of themselves as they appeared wheu they were in the service and as they appear now, the same to be placed in a frame and hung in the hall. Willis & McQuown received the contract for making the pictures. This firm is'at work now and has-turned out several most excellent photographs. Years hence this will be a most interesting collection.
Mo Holiday Observed.
Most of the postofHces of the county closed Saturday, it being a legal holiday. Postmaster Voris, however, kept open all day to accommodate 'the public. This considerate act is certainly deserving of great commendation and he merits a vote of thanks.

Th« Wonderful Changea Wliicli n. Progrewive

ill the Last Five Years,
Samuel Thomas, president of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, claims that on no road in the West has hus so large a sum of money been expended in improvements, according to its milage, as on this road in the last four years. April 15, 1891, W. H. McDoel was appointed general manager of the property, which was then in a wretched condition. The track was of light rail, lightly tied, the bridges in bad condition, most of them being old wooden structures, the equipment inferior and the property badly run down. It took a few months to ascertain what could be done to good advantage. Wrecks were occurring frequently, litigation was piling up on the company for damages, and everything, as Judge Field said, seemed to be going to the dogs. Mr. McDoel took charge of the work, and his first move was to renew the bridges with stone abutments t^nd iroc structures. For two years this special feature of the roadbed was pushed, and at the end of 1894 every bridge on the main line between Chicago, and Louisville and between Monon and Indianapolis was a well built iron structure, resting on a substantial stone foundation. At the same time he began to purchase new steel rails weighing seventy-two pounds to the yard, and by Dec. 10, 1895, every mile of the main line from from Chicago to Louisville and from Monon to IndianapoliB was laid with a heavy steel rail. With this improvement new switches, frogs, etc., were put in, until to-day the company has 510 miles of as good track' as crosses Indiana. The coming season General
Manager McDoel proposes to further perfect the track by reballasting it with broken stone and the best gravel to be found on the line. He thinks it is safer now to run over any part of the Monon main line at sixty miles an hour than it was twenty miles five years ago. The company begins 1896 under very promising auspices
Variant Views.
The Covington Republican answering rather caustic remarks of the JOURNAL regarding the action of the late Fountain county grand jury, says "The JOURNAL does an injustice to the people of Fountain county. Its censure of the grand jury is deserved, and no one here attempts to condone so flagrant neglect of duty as the jury was guilty of. On the contrary the friends of Dr. Stout are bitter in denunciation of the action of the jury. Very few people here believe, with the evidence they have, that the Doctor is guilty of in an^ way assisting or conniving at an abortion, but while this is true they do not want justice throttled. The people of Fountain county are just as law abiding as those of Montgomery county, and regret and condemn the action of the jury just as deeply as do the people of Montgomery county. While they do not believe the Doctor guilty they do not feel that justice should be outraged by any 6uch means as that employed by the jury. "If the jurors who refused to be a party to the returning of an indictment against Dr. Stout were actuated by any other motive than exact justice they have made a mistake and injured rather than befriended the cause of the Doctor. We believe a full and fair investigation would have acquitted him of any connection whatever with the crime, but if it would not, it would have been his misfortune. The law and those sworn to uphold it can not afford to wink at crimeB of thiB kind. The blood of Grace McClamrocu:, the safety of every home in the land calls lor the punishment of crimes of this kind. Virture and honor demand that the guilty be punished wherever found."
The Covington Friend, however,takes a different view of the matter and says:! '.-0 --Y.:
-7.V:
"The Fountain county grand jury a Ijourned Wednesday,—or rather, it might be said, were dismissed byJudge Rabb with a caustic rebuke, for failure to find indictments where tbe Judge thought they ought to. It is doubtful whether this censure was well deserved. The grand jury was composed of the following well known and reputable citizens: Thomas N. Lief, Attica Abner DeHaven, Troy: Marlin Ritchey, J. B. Grannell, Covington Aaron Jack, Phawnee Charley Coats, VanBuren. It is fair to presume that therfe men would do what is right. They heard the evidence and are better prepared to say whether an indictment should be found than any one else."

PART FIRST
DEMANDS EXPLANATION.
What Ho Tlieno Drave Cliargen Made By Fountain County People Mean?
An explanation is due from some one. For weeks the friends of Dr. Stout, of Covington, have been busy circulating the gravest charges against two well known physicians of this county. These rumors are not con--fined to store box gossip but are boldly blown through the columns of the press. The following from the Danville, 111., Commercial of Saturday is a sample: "Dan Simms, of Covington, prosecuting attorney of Fountain county,seemB to stand by the action of the grand jury in refusing to indict Hauk and Stout. He says there was no evidence of any wrong doings inside the borders of Fountain county and intimates that when the truth of the matter is known, it will' be found that Hauk's crime waB committed near Boston store, in Montgomery county, and that two physicians from the vicinity of New Richmond know more about it than they choose to tell. Mr. Simms was in CrawfordBville yesterday, where Hauk is now held on the charge of murder.
He says the excitement in Crawfordsville has not cooled down."
PROF. JOHN H. COULTER.
He leaves Lake Forest to Become Head Professor of Botapy in Chicago Unl varsity.
An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago says: "President John M. Coulter, of Lake Forest University, has resigned control of that institution to become head professor of botany at the University of Chicago. This position was offered to him by President Harper, of Chicago University, several weeks ago, but so strong was the effort on the part of Lake Forest to retain him that he delayed his decision for some time. Dr. Conlter's transfer has revived the report that the Lake Forest institution iB to be merged into the University of Chicago. Dr. Goodspeed, of "the Chicago University faculty, stated to-day, however, that Dr. Coulter's action had no bearing on that question. Dr. Coulter has been President of Lake Forest University since June, 1893."
Prof. Coulter's Crawfordsville friends can but think that his action is a most wise one. Prof. Coulter is the country's greatest botanist and it is to be regretted that his life work should ever have been interrupted oy even ea honorable service as the administration of the affairs of a college.
Edith Augusta Small.
Miss Edith Augusta Small, youngest daughter of John and Dimis Small, was born at Waynetown August 18, 1877 and died Feb. 19, 1896, at the time of her death being 18 years 6 months and 1 day old. She united with the Christian church at the early age of fifteen. She was a devoted Christian, living a pure life and serving ber Master as best
Bbe
could. It seems hard
to give up such a dear one, but she realized her time to bid fare well to this earth had come, and expressed
her
willingness to die, saying she was not afraid to meet death and that she would not be alone "Over There." Gussie was an obedient daughter, beloved by all who knew her. She will be 6adly missed by her many friends but we are comforted in knowing she has joined her dear sisters and is at rest in Heaven, she leaves a father, mother and one lone sister together with innumerable friends to moura her departure. Funeral took place from the Waynetown Christian church Friday, Feb. 21 at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. T. J. Shuey, of Waveland, assisted by Rev. Brewer, pastor of tha church. Tbe church was beautifully decorated with flowers, plants and a gate-ajar upon which sat awhite dove. Rev. Shuey spoke lovingly of tbe Bweet young life, and then 6poke eloquently on "Confidence," from John 11th chapter and 24th verse. The house was crowded to its utmost and the services throughout were very impressive, Rev. Brewer closing in his tender and beautiful words "comfort.".
