Just Out of Reach.

Some homely philosopher has remarked that "all the good things of life seem to be on the other side of a barbed wire fence," meaning that the price was bigger than the pocketbook.

That philosopher ought to come to our Clothing Store. He wouldn't find any barb wire fence in the way there.

Dr. Win. R. Stoat and J'hll Hank Placed Under Arrest Monday.

Monday at 11:30 o'clock the grand jury found true bills against Dr. Wm. R. Stout, of Covington, and Phil Hauk, of this county. The finding was kept secret and warrants for the arrest of the men were placed in the hands of Sheriff Davis. Sheriff Dayis acted promptly and Deputy Brothers armed with the proper papers proceeded on the early afternoon train to Covington. He then reported at Sheriff Moore's office where Dr. Stout was shortly brought by a deputy and the arrest was formally made. Dr. Stout was not at all surprised by the arrest although he had not anticipated it for several days yet. He sent word out, however, and when train time arrived he was surrounded by a large number of prominent evidently sympathizing citizens. The following men accompanied him to Crawfordsville in the capacity of bondsmen: W. B. Boyd, George Cook, J. W. Tinsley, Sylvester Elwell, Trustee Hatfield and County Auditor Stewart. Arrived here the party was driven at once to the court house and Stout's bond was placed at $3,500, which he at once gave, Joshua C. McKinsey becoming the local bondsman. Stout seemed quite gloomy but expressed a sanguine expectation of acquittal. Together with his bondsmen he returned home on the evening train.

Sheriff Davis arrested Hauk at the jail and the young man was greatly surprised, he believing that the jury would fail to indict him. He declared that he would fight the case to the titter end. In the evening he telegraphed to his brother-in-law, H. H. Cross, of Chicago, to come and go on his bond, which had been placed at 83,500,

The Use of School Houses.

In all cases where a private school is to be taught in a school house, the law requires a petition to the township Trustee, signed by a majority of the school patrons in the district, and naming the length of the term and who is to be the teacher, who is to be held responsible for the care of the school house. This must be done in all cases, and a director must not permit the use of a school house for a private school or for any other meeting, except for a church or political meeting without an order from the Trustee, and in case they do, they will be held responsible. Any private school now being taught without such petition, the director must see that the law is complied with. Also, a teacher of a private school is required to make a full report to the Trustee of the pupils, studies, etc.

Hon. Itobnrt Gralinin.

Crawfordsville was honored Wednesday by another candidate for Congress in the person of Hon. Robert Graham, of Hamilton county. Mr. Graham is a prominent and leading member of the Noblesville bar, and for many years has taken an active interest in politics. He has served his district in the State Senate, in which body, through his ability he was recognized as a leader. Socially he isa most genial gentleman and makes friends wherever he goes. He has none.of the elements of brag and bluster in his composition, and his bearing everywhere and on all occasions is that of a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He speaks kindly of his opponent and Rays he is in the race because he wants the nomination. While it is true' that Hamilton county will be divided in the convention, yet he is sanguine that he will have the majority when the roll of delegates from his county is called on the 7th of April. He has mingled with a good many Republicans since he has been in the city and expresses himself most highly pleased with the hospitable treatment he has received, even though this county is a Landis stronghold. Mr. Graham is big enough to recognize the fact that a man can favor some other candidate than himself and still be a Republican and a gentleman. »•. _"t '.'X ''•yj/- Hersbe-Hanklns.

PART SECOND

Toung Mr. Watson Elopes With Miss Bertin Aikman Tuesday Kevenlng And They are Married.

Mr. Richard M. B. Watson is a proud and prancing bridegroom to-day and the young lady who poses aa bride was Miss Bertha Aikman, and thereby hangs a tale. Mr. Watson came originally from down about Waveland and "accepted a lucrative position" in Levinson's store. He finally left that establishment, however, and going to Lebanon Btarted up a candy store. The town fell so in love with him, however, that everybody took to eating pickles and the candy was consequently a drug on the market. Mr. Watson was forced out of business and has since luxuriated. He returned to Crawfordsville and soon fell in love with Miss Aikman, a clerk in McClure & Graham's store, and a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Aikman of west Pike street. The young lady reciprocated the yearning love of the young gentleman, who appears to have absorbed some of the saccharine qualities of hiB Lebanon stock in trade, and they became engaged. The young couple were as happy as clams at high tide and evidenced the intellectual acumen of the same frisky creatureB.

When Rev. and Mrs. Aikman interposed their objections to a marriage which promised nothing for their daughter, the young couple decided to elope. They first decided to get married Sunday and had all the arrangements made for the ceremony to occur at the Sherman House but put it off. Tuesday Watson took out license to wed and the girl joining him at the Vandalia station they went to Waveland, where they were married by a justice of the peace. In the evening they went to the home of the groom's mother, four miles from Waveland, and are there still. The girl's parents learned of the elopement immediately it occurred and telephoned to the mhfBhal at Waveland to prevent the marriage. The message, however, was secured about five minutes after the ceremony had occurred, too late to he of service. Both the bride and groom refused to talk to her parents over the telephone. On Wednesday Mr. Aikman drove to Waveland with another daughter and endeavored to get the bride to return to her home. Watson has no means or employment by which he can support a wife, so the girl's family allege. The Aikman family are very bitter against young Watson and denounce him as a villain of the deepest dye. They will have nothing whatever to do with him but will welcome the foolish girl to her home. She is only nineteen years of age and will have plenty of time to repent her hasty marriage. Watson is twentythree years of age and is not looked upon as a very heavy weirfct.

SURPRISE MARRIAGE,

Mr. Harry Martin and Miss May Xe Were Married Last Mouth.

The news is just leaking out that Har ry Martin, the popular young travelingman, was married to Miss May Neilest, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Neilest, on February 12, at Lebanon. The young people quietly left here that day, ostensibly for a visit in the country, and going to Lebanon were made hu&band and wife. Last week the young lady informed her parents of the fact but the matter is first made public Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Martin will receive the congratulations of a large circle of friends. They have not yet decided on their future plans.

Pensions By Checks.

The House of Representatives has passed a bill to abolish the cash payment of pensions. The purpose of the bill is to prevent the swindling of old veterans who draw their pension money of the agencies on the quarterly pay days. Correspondence with the agencies shows that many pensioners draw their pensions in cash, and their families complain that they get no benefit from the money. This bill requires all pensions to be paid in checks, sent to the homes of pensioners.

Skipped Out.

Yaung Mr. Osborn, son of 'Squire J. N. Osborn, of Ladoga, left Tuesday for parts unknown, leaving a sick wife and numerous creditors. The young man is a printer by trade but has beem going too gay a gait. He left a note stating that he had skipped and could not return.

Grand Jury Adjourn*.

The grand jury adjourned Tuesday evening after returning several indictments. Only those against Hauk and Stout have been made public. Tha county institutions were all visited and the management commended.
