Funeral of an Infant.

The remains of the infant child of Walter Smith and wife, accompanied by the family arrived here Tuesday afternoon. The interment took place at Oak Hill.

Good Enrollment.

Monday was the first day of the summer normal for school teachers and about forty entered. The enrollment was largely augmented Tuesday and the success of the school is assured.

Goodly Yields.

Geo. F. Myers, Superintendent of the Poor Farm, threshed ten acres of oats Monday which yielded CG2 bushels, over 66 bushels per acre. He also threshed 385 bushels of wheat from 28 acres.

Silver the Cause of All Onr Troubles. A leading Democrat of this county was heard to remark that he was opposed to silver. Said he: "It is the cause of all our troubles and has been ever since Judas sola the Christ for thirty pieces of silver."

New Walks.

J. A. Foster, the contractor, is doing a splendid work of repairing the cement walks in Whitlock Place. Nearly half those put down last fall have been torn up and replaced by walks which promise to endure.

Fair Catalogues Gut.

The catalogues of the Montgomery County Fair Association have just been issued by the JouiiXAi, Company. The book is the most excellent, from a mechanical standpoint, yet issued by the association and copies of it can be obtained from the secretary, W. W. Morgan/

To Raise Gas liates Over State. Indianapolis Journal: The Dietrich gas syndicate, it is stated, has gained control of most of the natural gas plants in this State, and comtemplates making a 25 per cent, advance in rates. While the Indianapolis Gas Company is controlled by the syndicate, the rates will not be increased here. •,

What "Gold Standard" Means. A gold standard does not mean that there shall be nothing but gold in circulation, but that gold, which has an intrinsic value, shall be the standard because its value does not iiuctuate, and that floating with it shall be plenty of silver and paper, but that each dollar shall be just what it says it is.

A Sangeroni Fire.

Tuesday James Rich was burning a bunch of weeds on the farm of J. N. Hughes, six miles east of the city, when suddenly the high wind carried the flames to the adjoining timothy stubble and it spread rapidly over the field. It went in an easterly direction and caught in a rail fence and then swept over an adjoining meadow. In this field were seven large bay stacks, and Mr. Rich in his heroic efforts to save the hay in one direction, allowed the flames to catch in the fencing on the two opposite sides of the field. Robert Peebles, who was two miles away, seeing the smoke, knew serious damage was being done, hurried to the scene and then at a gait similar to Phil Sheridan's, notified Iur. Hughes who was threshing in the neighborhood. He was pitching wheat to the machine when notified, and instantly hitched his horses to the water tank, and the speed that he made with the tank filled with water and covered with men was a credit to any fire department. Buckets were secured and by the united efforts of the entire threshing force the flames were gotten under control just as they were crossing a highway into an adjoining fence on once side and a blue grass pasture on another. Luckily the haystacks were saved, but Mr. Hughes is the loser of a hundred rods of fencing. Parties at the the machine saw the smoke, but were informed by a passerby who saw only the beginning, the cause. A woodland between the fire and the men obstructed the view, hence the headway gained by the fire.

Chose Kid er Alrhart.

Lebanon Reporter: The delegates to the Boone-Clinton-Montgomery Democratic State Senatorial convention met late Saturday evening to choose between candidates Cornelius Airhart, of Advance, and Elder J. A. Johnston, of this city. The twenty delegates Voted to present the name of Mr. Airhart as Boone county's choice to make the race against Mr. Artman. The race was a close one, the first ballot standing 12 to 8 in favor of Mr. Airhart.

Mr. Airhart is a farmer and Baptist minister, about thirty-eight years old, living in Advance, Jackson township. This does not mean that he will be the candidate, for Montgomery ana Clinton have aspirants for the same position. The convention will be held July 30th.

Surprised.

Lafayette Call. Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Baird were married 15 years ago yesterday, and during their absence Mrs. W. K. Rochester, Mrs. B.'s mother, prepared a neat surprise for them and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Thomas, of Crawfordsville. When then reached home, on North Sixth street, last evening, they found their assembled about forty of their lady and gentlemen friends. Mr. and Mrs. Baird accepted the situation gracefully however, and proved themselves admirable entertainers. The evening was most pleasantly sDent, and refreshments were served.

Thanked.

Dr. Burroughs concluded his lectures on Bible study before the National Y. P. S. C. E. convention Monday and the Washington Times concludes its comments as follows: "At the conclusion, Rev. U. S. G. Rupp, of Philadelphia, offered a resolution expressing the thanks of the audience to Dr. G. S. Burroughs for his able, scholarly, instructive lessons, and requesting the trustees to continue the system at future conventions. The vast audience—much larger than at any previous lecture—gave the resolution unanimous indorsement."

Expengei! of Delegates.

Indianapolis News: Until this year the practice has been for the delegates to the National Republican Convention to pay in an assessment to the State central committee, for headquarters room, music, decoration and ice water. The assessments have usually been from S100 to S200 each. This year the delegates appointed D. A. Coulter their treasurer, and made their own contracts. On Saturday last a balance was struck, and it was found the cost to each delegate was Sll 75.

GROWING INSTITUTION.

The Cravrfordsville Business College Compelled To Seek More Commodious Quarters.

Owing to the growth of the Crawfordsville Business College, Prof. A. J. Hall has been compelled to seek larger quarters. He has secured a lease for a number of years of the suit of rooms in the Thomas Block at che south west corner of Main and Water streets formerly occupied by the Supreme Tribe of BenHur. Partitions are being taken out and the rooms rearranged so as to convert them into first-class premises for a business college. They will contain about twice the space of the present school quarters. The alterations will be completed and the school open for work in the Thomas Block at 9 a. m., July 20.

What Next?

G. W. L. Brown, encouraged by his great political success in his Councilmanic race two or three years ago, has announced himself for Congress and started a bob-tailed boom in the Democratic organ last Tuesday. The paper gives Brown a boss jolly and states that he would make a good race if he received the nomination, Brown would probably make as good a race as the man whom the Democratic convention nominates, but people aren't losing much sleep over the thought of his representing this district. It has not been three weeks ago since Brown was embarassing Republicans by yelliug lustily for McKinley, and his sudden flop back into the puddle, followed by his immediate announcement as a candidate for Congress before the Democratic convention, is in the nature of a joke and Mr. Brown is undoubtly the only person who-1 doesn't so regard it.

Congressman G. W. L. Brown of the Ninth Indiana .District!" Think of that and then curl up and die.
