More Registered Stock Killed.

Josiah Williams, of Waveland, has Vbrought suit against Chicago and •South Eastern R. R. Co. (the deadly ^Midland) for killing some of his horses. Uncle Josiah says there wasn't a plug 'in the whole lot but most people wouldn't buy a horse that couldn't ^ret it of the way of a Midland train uorkick it off the track.

Another. Sale Next Month.

"Cooly & Hamilton will hold another 'sale next month. They made no •money on this owing to their heavy «xpenBes but many of these expenses will not have to be borne at the subsequent sales. The sale brought a great deal of money into the county as nine icarloads of horses were shipped to the veastern markets by the buyers.

Cbarley Gosnel'Bfarried.

Frankfort Times: At the M. E. par^ouage yesterday evening, Charles M. Gosnel and Miss Henrietta .Kaufman, .were united in marriage, Rev. Claud Travis officiating. The contracting parties are both residents of Lebanon, the groom being a well known veterinary surgeon. The affair was evidently intended as a surprise to their friends, as an effort was made to keep it quiet. ....

Weddlnfss. 'x

On the 25th inst. Rev. Dr. Leech united iu marriage David D. Nicholson. a merchant of Ladoga, and Miss Maud A. Gill, daughter of Mr. Frank (Gill, of that place.

On the 3Gth inst. the same clergyman •officiated at the marriage of Mark W. Wise and Miss Ell Gray, daughter of Mr. E. S. Gray, all of Danville, 111.

The charming brides were elegantly dressed and are attractive and accomplished young ladies. The grooms are feoth among the prominent young men their respective towns.

for the Widow's Sake.

A bill which amends the general pension laws in the interest of sol tiers' widows, so that hereafter the •common law proof of death, seven years' absence accounted for, will be sufficient evidence to establish the fact of a soldiers' death as a preliminary proof for a pension for his widow, has been sent to the President for

building

ap­

proval. Heretofore it has been neces sary to show by direct testimony that the soldier was dead. Many soldiers' widows in Indiana will be able to procure pensions under the new act of relief. It was recommended by the •committee on legislation of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Is This Visionary.

Lafayette Times: I believe that prior 'to the close of this century Lafayette's street railway system will be extended to Frankfort on the east, to Delphi and Brookston on the north, to IFowler, on the west and to Crawfords--ville on the south. Laugh, if you will 'but electricity is marvelous in devel •opment. Twenty years ago 3 -you •would have riduculed the idea of talkSag over a wire between Lafayette «nd New York—but one can so do to' «day. A project is on foot to connect

THE NEW CHURCH.

many northern Indiana cities—notably, Valparaiso. LaPorte, Michigan City, South Bend, Mishawake, Goshen and Elkhart. The mentioned cities have large populations and the enterprise will be remunerative.

If the owners of Lafayett'sstreet railway become convinced that an extension of their line would be a paying investment they would not hesitate to embark in it. They are enterprising men, have plenty of money, and they know, too, that Lafayette is a thriving city and is bound to continue. They have faith in Lafayette, and Lafayette has faith in them.

SICK stomach 'means sick man (or woman.) Why not be well?

The cuts of the church which are presented herewith were made by Mr. Will Fry, from the plans drawn up by Architects Sharpe & Hoffman. This is the

which many people desire to see erected in the East End district, commbnly known as Goose Nibble. Public interest has bean much aroused since the East End Sunday school took charge of the evening Bervice cVFirst church three Sundays ago, and many people have been asking what has been accomplished toward securing a church building.

Those in charge of the work are rejoicing juBt at present because the way seems opening up for a speedy realization of their hopes. The interest of the people of Crawfordsville, however, will have to show itBelf in a very substantial manner if the enterprise is made a success. The people of the community where the church is to be placed are very anxious for the work to go on. The teachers of the Sunday school in their calling are constantly offered help. Men of all trades, carpenters, mechanics, painters, etc., whose daily work only furnishes, them and their families a bare living in many cases say, in a way that shows they mean what they say, that they will giv6 of their time and strength to the work even though they cannot give money. One case will show the feeling of all the people who are within the influence of the present work in the Sunday school. A man with a family of six or eight children, living in a three-room house on a dollar and a quarter a day, says that the work has done more for his neighborhood than a dozen policemen could do, and that he will give five dollars towards the new church when the time comes. The children are bringing their birthday offerings to help swell the sum, the older people fill the little room to overflowing every Sunday evening, mothers carrying little babies for long distances in their anxiety to get to meeting every one is asking and longing for-the church to begun, and all that is necessary now is for the good people of this city to turn in and do what they can, and in a short time the stigma attached to the name of Goose Nibble will be lost and a new era will dawn for that part of town..

The church building proposed is in the shape of a tabernacle as will be seen by reference-to the ground plan above. It is designed especially for the peculiar work for which it is being built. All the inside walls represented by lighter lines are to be sliding-or rolling partitions which will allow the separate parts to be entirely isolated from each other-for class work, etc. When all the partitions are open the'Beating capacity will be about 360. The building alone is expected to cost about 33,000. This does not include seats, light, nor heat. It is impracticable to plan for anything less than this, unless a simple box chapel is put up which anyone familiar with the kind of work to be done in it could see-at a glance would be very little better than the present room.

Those familiar with the conditions which are present in regard to this work feel that if this opportunity for uplifting Goose Nibble is not improved now, another will not present itself for many years. What will Crawfordsville do about it?

A letter was recently received here from Mary Roll, of Dakota. Aunt Polly, as she'is usually called, is in her 96th year, having been born at Dayton O., in October, 1800. She has good health and says she can get around about as well as any of the younger tribe. She came here at an early day with her husband, who died about 65 years ago. They were charter members of Pleasant Hill Christian church in 1828. She went Dakota with her children a number of years ago.

THE BIG STORE

Sunday, April 5th, will be the most important day of the young half of '96. The few weeks of Lent give the ladies an opportunity to prepare their costumes for Easter Sunday. This year will be no exception and we are prepared to lend our time and experience to all. Never has our trade reached the limits attained during the past few weeks, but this is not hard to account for when one reflects upon the wondrous array of beautiful things shown at the Big Store. Our .reputation is not merely local, but it is State-wide Throughout the State we have the reputation of carrying the largest and best stock of seasonable and desirable merchandise, and we are glad to say that the ladies of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county have not been slow to appreciate our efforts. This we say accounts for our enormous trade and our consequent ability to. always show the latest and handsomest merchandise, as is the case for Easter.

Every Desirable Dress Stuff.

Including all the various weaves in Mohairs, Mozambique, Persians, etc. Every style selected especially for its beauty and wearing qualities. After this has been attended to we don't leave them, but see that each has its proper trimmings. In this line we have the handsomest that artistic taste can design or money buy. Then after the dress has been completed we see that there are Gloves, Hosiery and other things to match. Our stock of Faster Gloves are all in and ready fcr inspection. There are blacks with black, white, yellow and lavendar stitchings, Pearls, Canary Cream and White with black and white stitchings and Tans and Modes with self and contrasting shades. All shades in solid colors in both dressed and undressed in button and lacing styles.

The Silk Department

Offers a grand bat gain in evening stuffs. 27-inch Gauffres and Crepe de Chines in cream, pink, light blue, corn, nile and lavendar, beautifully printed with Dresden figures, worth $1.00 and $1.25 per jard. Choice'at -f.f

This is a rare opportunity to buy that graduating costume for the daughter at a saving of one-fourth or one-third of the price later in the seai.on.

Honey Saving Muslin Underwear.

We have about three hundred pieces of Muslin Underwear that we don't want to put bask in stock. They are odds and ends from last year's selling and have been on the counter until they have become soiled. Tnis is not in keeping with our underwear stock, so we put these quick prices on them:

AT 19c covers worth 25, 35c

This will be ths greatest opportunity to save half the price on Muslin Underwear ever offered the ladies of this city.

Grand Remnant Sale.

It has been several years since we have had a special sale of remnants because we have kept our stock so clear of them, there has not been enough to advertise. It takes a lot of stuff if we advertise it. For the past few montlis we have been saving our remnants until we now have a great showing, which we placed on sale Monday morning, March 23d. This will be a chance td. get two or three small dresses for the price of one. There will be remnants of Laces and Embroidery at half and two-thirds of their regular value. Remnants of ribbons, remnants of silk, velvets and wool dress goods. Remnants of table linens and crashes at about two-thirds of their real value, but the center of this great remnant sale will be at three tables in the rear of the room on which we have grouped hundreds of remnants of Muslins, Sheetings, Outing Cloths, Satines, Organdies, Dimities, Prints and Drapery Stuffs at the following prices:

At 3e yd. goods worth 5 to 10c. v: At 5c yd. goods worth 8 l-3c to 15c. At 10c yd. goods worth 15c to 35c.

There are enough fcr several days' selling, but the early comers always get the best bargains. So come to-morrow. Sr
