HERB YOU ARE!

Brother IlickR Will Give U« Some Nice Fat Weather During March.

March 2d and 3d are centers of storm movements, on or about which dates barometer will fall, temperature will rise and storms of rain and Enow will mark the passage of storm conditions eastward. Two or three days of much colder weather will follow. About the 8th to 11th is a storm period that will bring marked changes in the thermometer and barometer and storms of rain and snow will pass across the country. Almost without exception March 10th to 13th brings many electrical and atmospheric disturbances. The reactionary period is central on the 14th and 15th, with new moon in apogee on the 14th. Within 48 hours of that date, after if not on it, storms of great energy will occur in many places on land and sea. Cold wave will follow. The 19th to 22d is the passage of the vernal equinox blended with a regular storm period. Watch it! Cold, for the season, will follow. The 20th to 28th will oring many storms. Moon will be full and in perigee on the 28th. This means many violent storms and gales on and about that date.

THEIR MIDDAY MEAL

Wus Itmlely Interrupted and Under the Circumstances Waau't Resumed.

Last Friday at noon an alarm of fire called the department to the south Walnut street residence of James Howard, an employe of Ben Wassoa. J. C. Bdfnhill had started down town from his home and in passing the Howard place discovered it to be on fire. He rushed in to give the alarm and found the family at dinner. The meal, it is needless to state, was left and the family and neighbors began hustling the furniture out. The department arrived promptly but the fi-e had gained good headway and, although the work was excellent, the residence was rendered untenantable It is practically a ruin. The property belonged to" a Mrs. Taylor, of Lafayette, and was insured.

Disappeared.

The family of Ed Duckworth, the well known letter carrier, are greatly concerned on his account, his strange actions warranting the belief that he is hardly in a responsible condition. His health has been quite poor for several months and this, with troubles he recently experienced and his persistence in continuing his work are thought to have unbalanced him. He had been acting peculiarly for several days and last Thursday disappeared. He kissed his children goodbye in the evening and stated to his wife that he was going down town. About eleven o'clock 6he found a note under the front door stating that when she 6aw him next he would be dead. Greatly alarmed she sent word to his father, but although search was instituted be could not be found. It was ascertained Friday that he was seen at the Big Four station at the time the Big Four station at the time the train went east and it is thought he boarded this.

Charley Waterbury's Company Kelleved.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Yesterday afternoon in the circuit court, after a conference of all interested parties which has lasted the greater part of two days, the receivership of the Pha3nix National Telephone and Construction Company, created at the instance of Isadore Grohs, was settled, the receiver discharged and the case missed. It developed that Grohs had been misled into believing that every one of the defendant officers of the company was a conspirator to defraud him and freeze him out of all his interests and upon gossip and hearsay evidence had brought the suit. It was shown that the defendants had been guilty of no irregularities.

Alone the Complainant.

D. F. Smith, of the fire department, is anxiouS to be set right regarding the trouble between himself and wife,, an erroneous report of which, he states, was published by a local paper. Mr Smith asserts that his wife wilfully and voluntarily deserted him I some three years ago and that he is I now suing for divorce, his wife not having filed a complaint for divorce but for support. He feels that she greatly wronged him and states that he can easily establish his claims by their former neighbors and by letters W-itten him by her.

Geo Gets a Tboaiand,

Rockville Journal: Gee Grimes got hoqje yesterday morning from Joliet. He was given a verdict in his damage suit against the C. & A. railroad for killing his pacing mare, AmyL The lowest value placed upon the mare by any witness that testified was $3,500, yet while the jury awarded him damages, they placed the amount at onlv 81,000.

ORAWFOEDSYILLE, IKDIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH i, 1896.-TWELVE PAGES

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

It Met Saturday and Heard Several Good Speeches.

The Republican Central Committee and a number of. leading Republicans met Saturday and transacted considerable routine business. The following resolution relative to the candidacy of Hon. J. A. Mount was unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That the Republican party of Montgomery county, through its County Central Committee, urges the nomination of Hon. James A. Mount, as the Republican candidate for the office of Governor. It endorses him, without mental reservation, as an honest, fair minded man, and a patriotic public servant in every public position he has heretofore tilled. He has worked his way up from the humblest position, to a prominence that reaches beyond the boundaries of the Stute. He is in the prime of life—active, vigorous, watchful aud full of courage. His ability as a public debater is recognized throughout the State, by all parties, and no Republican of Montgomery county fears a contest on the stump between him and the most gifted opponent that can be nominated to measure lances with him. He was a most gallant soldier, and made a record that any patriot might be proud of We commend hiin to our fellow citizens of the»State as a man in every way fitted for the exalted position to which he aspires.

Mr. Mount being present was called upon and responded in a few well chosen remarks which elicited great applause. I Dr. Tucker, of Noblesville, was present and was called upon as a candidate for Congress. He made an excellent short address and was warmly received.

Following Dr. Tucker a neat and characteristic talk was made by C. B. Landis, of Delphi. Meeting then adjourned.

1 The Cemetery ltow llevlveclThe Glen Lodge of Odd Fellows at Darlington has filed suit in the circuit court against the town of DarlingtoD.

The complaint alleges that the lodge has maintained a cemetery adjoining the town for thirty-nine years, and that in 1893 an addition was made to it the old plat having become crowded I that the town board of Darlington

passed an ordinance forbidding burial in the addition that many people fear ing that the disinterment of their friends or relatives would be forced have purchased lots in other cemeteries, whereas they would have bought in the Odd Fellows cemetery but for the action of the town board. The plaintiffs pray that the town board be forever enjoined from interfering with burial in the addition and that this addition be recognized as a legal cemetery. No damages are aBked.

Funeral or Alma li. Holm.

Alma Leonard Holm, the 9-year-old granddaughter of Dr. S. G. Irwin, died on Thursday evening at Muncie, from the result of a surgical operation made to save her life from the result of a peculiar injury received in the third year grade room in high school four weeks ago. When school was dismissed she was anxious to get out of the room, and in the hurried attempt to vacate her seat she struck the outside of her left ankle on the iron leg of the desk in front of her. Swelling set in and an operation was performed, but the child was too weak to stand the operation. The remains were brought here for interment. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at 211 east Market street. ..t

A Birthday Dinner.

Mrs. Anna Clements was seventyvo years old Satirday.butshehas only had eighteen birthdays. These anniversaries being so rare with her it was decided to celebrate it appropriately by a big family dinner at the home of her daughter, Mis. James Howard. It was a very happy occasion for all the children and grandchildred present to the number of about twenty-five. Those from out of the city were Mrs. Moody, CharleB Moody, Mrs. Geo. Marsh and Miss Ada Coons, of Frankfort, Mrs. Dr. Naylor and Mrs. John Howard, of Darlington,1 Mrs. Shocky, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Davis and daughters and James Clements and family, of Brown's Valley.

The Afontli ot February*

The month of February, 1896, has been an unusual one in the way of legal holidays, special days, etc. In the first place the moDth contained twenty-nine days for the last time for eight years. Next, there were five Saturdays in the month, which means an additional pay day for the average wage-earner. The 2d was ground bog day, the 12th waa Lincoln's birthday, there was an annual eclipse of the sun on the 13th, and the 14th was St. Valentine's Day. The 19th was Ash Wednesday, or the first day of Lent, and the 22d Washington's birthday. The 23d was the first Sunday in Lent, and on the 28th there was a partial eclipse of the moon.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

DiirnuKiOu loniiR People JTurt In ltnnaway Accident I rldny Night.

Special To The Journal. DARLINGTON, Ind., Feb. 29—Last niffht Ellsworth Love and Otis lvelsey, of this place, went to the vicinity of White Church with two young ladies to attend a dance and while returning home get to racing. By some means surrey was upset and rolled into a six foot ditch, where it was completely demolished. Both young men and one of the young ladies, Miss Ellen Hobson, were badly hurt. Miss Hobson was fearfully bruised and had a gash seven inches long cut in her head. Love was also sadly scratched and cut. Young Kelsey, who is the son of Tom Kelsey, was the worst hurt and his condition is very alarming. A great splinter from the broken murrey peuetrated his nose just below the eyes and was so firmly fixed in the bone that a man was unable to pull it out. It is feared his sight will be destroyed and that he may even lose his life.

WILL BE HELD HERE.

The Next State Y. M. O. A. Convention Will lie tleld In Cian-fordBville.

At the meetiug of the State executive commitcee of the Young Men's Christian Association at Indianapolis, last week, the convention of 18S6 was awarded to Crawfordsville. This will be the first State convention held in city since 1889, the meeting that year stirring up such enthusiasm and interest in the Association work that the present organization here was organized immediately thereafter. The two local branches, supported by the churches, will of course leave no preparation unmade to royally entertain the coming meeting, which will be the best ever held in this State. This year's convention will be the 27th annual meeting cf the Indiana Associations, the first having been in 1870. November 19 22 has been settled upon as the^date of this year's meeting.

For Senatoi

Captain Milton B. Waugn announces himself as a candidate for Senator, before the Republican nominating contention, to be held at Lebanon March 26, for the counties of Clinton, Boone and Montgomery. Captain Waugh was born into the pioneer home of his parents in Sugar Creek township, this county, Feb. 11, 1837. He early became familiar with all kinds of farm work and in due season adopted that culling, which Horace Greeley so aptly styled "the noblest of professions," and he has long been regarded as one of the most competent and well equipped farmers of his native township. He owns a large farm, which was his home previous to this removal to this city, and which adjoins the three counties of Clinton, Boone and Montgomery. He is numbered among our most substantial citizens and has a thorough acquaintance with the people by reason of his location in the three counties. He is an able and forcible speaker—a man who could take the stump and thoroughly canvas his counties. He is well informed on all subjects and is a zealous advocate of Republican principles. He has always been a hard worker for the success of his party. He is President of the Montgomery County Fair and takes an active interest in the affairs of the association. Whilo the war being waged between the North and the South he joined the Home Guards, of which he was one of the organizers. He was commissioned Captain and took an active part in the movement against Morgan, the bold rebel raider. Should Captain Waugh receive the nomination he would be elected and would at once be amoDg the most prominent and ufeful members of our Legislature. He is at present visiting in California, but will be home before on on a an on

No Fanlt of the Loom«

New Richmond Enterprise: A story has been started about three deaths that have occurred within a year, to the effect that a weaver's loom played a prominent part. The story goes that Mrs. Mears, after getting a loom of Mrs. Barbara Manners, wove one piece of carpet on said loom and died shortly after. Then the loom went to Mrs. Dearmond, who put in a carpet and died three days afterwards. Mrs. McCullum then got the loom and on last Saturday wove six yards of carpet, dying Tuesday morning, just three days after. Now, the facts are these: Mrs. Mears died of natural causes, Mrs. Dearmond's death was a mystery, and Mrs. McCallum's death was caused by stomach trouble. The*work Saturday probably hastened her death, but that cannot be laid to the loom. Such idle stories are only a relic of superstition that permeates human nature.

PART FIRST

IHE GOVERNOR'S REPLY.

licclmoR to Call a Special SeHBion of the LcRi8latur«— Suits PJIIMI to Overturn the Law of 1885.

Special to the Journal. .INDIANAPOLIS, March 2.—Governor

Matthews to day sent his reply to the Republican State Committee, which asked him to call an extra session of the Legislature to pass an apportionment bill in lieu of the one knocked out by the decision of the Supreme Court. The Governor gives as reason for declining to call a session that four-fifths of the people of the State do not want the Legislature of 1895 in session again. The body was given an opportunity to pass a constitutional bill during the last session and the Governor says he sees no reason why they should, be given another. The petition he states also did not have a majority of the members of either branch of the Legislature signed-to it.

Immediately after receiving word that the Governor had declined to call au extra session of the Legislature the chairman of the Republican State Central Committee and his attorneys do" cided to file the suit which had already been prepared to set aside the apportionment act of 1885. Suit was filed in the Marion Superior Court this afternoon.

An to Cards of Thanks,

Lafayette Times: It is certainly very bad form on the part of people who have suffered loss of relatives by death to make formal expression of gratitude through newspnperB to persons who rendered care and assistance in the last days of the departed ones. However, if people must express feelings through cold type, let them carefully read this—which I find in last weeks' Monticello Democrat, viz: "I desire to thank the friends and neighbors most heartily in this manner for the united aid and cooperation during the illness and death of my recent husband who escaped from me by the hand of death on Friday last while eating breakfast. To the friends and all who contributed so willingly towards making the last moments and funeral of my husband a splendid success, I.desire to be remembered most kindly, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. I also have a good milch cow and roaa gelding horse of eight years old which I will sell cheap, God moves in

Lafayette Journal: It is tax paying time again and the public will be interested in the following facts: The county, State and township tax is payable to the county treasurer in tw® equal installments. The first installment must be paid on or before the third Monday in April. If this is not done the entire amount becomes delinquent. Poll and dog tax are payable with tht first installment of real and chattel tax City taxes are now payable in two installments the same as county tax, and the poll and dog tax is payable with the first installment.

The Natural Born Fool.

Frank Ruftoer, the natural borm fool" called at the JOURNAL office Monday morning to state that on Saturday evening he had set the edict of Mayor Bandel at defiance and had given a dance in his house. "We had a staying big crowd," said he, "and all the folks did us great respect. We didn't have no drinkin', no fightin,'nor no cussin'. We did have a good time, though, and we are going to have a good time whenever we want it. "The only folks" who kicked was some folks who lived across the alley and they said it disturbed them areadin' of the Bible. They are no great shakes, though, because while me and my boy was hustling to make a dollar to buy wood they was burnin" up their fence and radin' the Bible." .vSv'-

We-are Unfair.

Covington Republican: The Crawfordsville JOURNAL is very unfair in its treatment of Dr. Stout, and insists on pronouncing him guilty without a trial or other evidence than that contained in an alleged confession made by Hauk and which Hauk denies in part and no one here believes at all. Dr. Stout is here and will be at any time he may be wanted,and claims, and his friends believe, he will be able to show beyond any doubt that he was in no way guilty of any criminal practice upon Grace McOlamrock. The JOUBHAL would do well to curb'its animosity.
