Over-Doing»Things.

Is about as bad as under-doing.them, Some merchants continually advertise discount sales, gift sales,, etc., and expect the public to believe that their sole aim and object is one of charity. The simple announcement that the

have inaugurated1'their regular semi-annual sale, will command the attention of clothing buyers because the fact has been established that what they advertise to'do, is always carried out.

The funeral of Frank McClamroch occurred Friday afternoon from the family residence on south Washington street and was attended by a great concourse of the young man so early claimed by death. The lloral tributes were elaborate and magnificent, many exquisite designs being displayed on every side. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Switzer, of Lafayette, a double quartette furnishing music. The pall fearers were Will Smith, Ingram Hill, Isaac Elston, Jr., Cliff Voris, Charley Mclntyre and Fred Doherty. The members of old Company I State Militia, of which Frank McClamroch was at one time captain, attended in a body and marched to Oak Hill cemetery, where the interment took place.

TO FOUNTAIN COUNTY. BIG SOLDIERS' REUNION.

lnd., July 10—After a

lively battle of affidavits against and for Montgomery circuit court, Judge White this afternoon decided to send the murder case of Barney Robards and Jim Davis to Fountain circuit court for trial. Prosecutor Maxwell this morning presented forty affidavits from as many Montgomery county citizens setting fo-th that they believed defendants would be given a fair trial at Crawfordsville. and twenty more from witnesses saying that was the most convenient place for them. Defendants then filed counter affidavit saying that because friends of Newkirk had employed attorneys at Crawfordsville, because Newkirk's relatives live in Montgomery county, and because threats had been made against defendants by citizens of Montgomery county, therefore they could not obtain a fair trial there. On condition of these things the Judge decided as stated, believing in the fairest place for all concerned, as soon as the transcript can be made out, the prisoners will be transferred to the Covington jaill. -'J

Is Olodfelter a Pop?

The ropulists held a convention in the court house last Saturday for the purpose of electing delegates to the Joint Representative convention. The most conspicuous figure present was M. E. Clodfelter, who was dispensing the approved doctrine to the fold in a .way that would have made the Bourbon Democracy tremble four years ago.

A Scliome (in Foot to Commemorate Battle of Chicliitmauga.,

tho

lvokomo Tribune: A movement is ou foot among some of the most prominent and influential men of this and other cities to commemorate the famous battle of Chickamuuga by having a reunion of tho soldiers of this and neighboring States, September lit and 20, 18%, the same dates of the month on which the memorable battle was fought. It is thought that with proper management 20,000 people can be brought together. If the movement should terminate successfully, it will be strictly a non-partisan meeting, and invitations will be extended to nobody except soldiers. While some of the condidates for State offices on the Republican ticket, among them the Hon. James A. Mount, will be invited to be present, their presence will have no political significance. They participated in the famous battle and are deserving of cordial invitations.

New School Houses.

Trustee Symmes has let the contracts for three new school houses in this township. The contracts were all awarded to David Jones for 81,450

each. There were eight or nine bidders and theSbidding was very close. The new houses will be erected at No. 8, the Soap Factory school No. 20, the Mt. Tabor school, and No. 37, the new house in Highland. The school rooms will be 26 by 36, with two vestibules, two cloak rooms and a library room. The houses will have slate roofs and adamant plastering. The cut represents the plan for e^oh of the three buildings.

Ideas That Prevail.

Lafayette Times: Congressional nominee Landis, editor of the Delphi Journal, has been consensing the ideas of some Sixteen-to-Oners concerning their Utopian dream. He found that a man up in Wabash county gave it as an opinion that it meant sixteen times as much money as we have now. A Chicago free silver enthusiast stated that it meant that if we had the free coinage of silver he could take a one dollar greenback, which is now worth only SI in gold, and get for it at any bank SIC in silver, and thus be sixteen times better off than he was when he held the greenback. Nominee-Editor Landis lucidly gives his idea of the consensus of the Sixteen-to-Oners, viz: "The free coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen to one as proposed by the free silver men, means that we would open our mints to all the silver in the world, coin it into dollars, on the basis of sixteen ounces of silver being worth one ounce of gold, when it really takes thirty-two ounces of silver to equal one ounce of gold. The fraud in the proposition is so palpable that I will not proceed further to elucidate it."

Honest and Upright.

Jackson, Mich., Presbyterian: James A. Mount, who h$s been nominated by by the Republicans of Indiana as their candidate for Governor, is one of the cleanest men in politics in that State. His character is in every way above reproach. his home life on his farm in Shannondale is delightful. Mr. Inglis has been a visitor their and Mr. Mount's son, now a student in the Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey, was one of his right hand men in the church in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The Jackson Presbyterian extends congratulations and hopes of success to Farmer Mount,—one of the leading elders in our denomination in Indiana. If elected (as there is no reason to doubt he will be,) he will give Indiana one of the most upright and honest governments she has ever had.

Populist Convention.

The Populist convention of tho Ninth Congressional district will be held at Veedersburg, Ind., on Saturday, July 20. Let all delegates and friends of the party be on hands, the ladies es pecially. A. P. HANXA, Chairman.

Burroughs On Bible Study.

Dr. G. S. Burroughs is quite a prominent figure at t.he National Convention of the V. P. S. C. E. The Washington

Star

speaking of him, says:

"The lirst in the series of what is known as Bible Book Study was begun this morning at S:30 o'clock at the New York Avenue Presbyterian church by President G. S. Burroughs, D. D., of Crawfordsville, Ind. Th^i topic of the study was 'Amos, the Prophet of Righteousness.' Dr. Burroughs called attention to the syllabi of the few studies which he intends to deliver on successive mornings, and said that these were printed as a part of the

convention programme, so that there would be no need for those who attended the services to take notes. He then called attention to the division of the subject, which was the introductory, the survey of the book of Amos and special topics. The speaker then described some of the characteristics of the prophets and said that each book in the Bible was an organic whole,and that it was well to study it as a whole. He made some practical suggestions about the study of the Bible, and advised the use of the revised version. Amos was, in a sense, the key of the Old Testament, the beginning of the written prophecy, and for that reason had been selected as the topic of the opening study. He spoke of the personality lying behind the book and of the Biblical conception of the prophet and of prophecy. In a running commentary, which was followed with interest by an audience that occupied nearly the whole of the main portion of the auditorium, the speaker gave a survey of the book which brought out the characteristic features of the writings of the prophet. In concluding the sudy, which was interesting throughout, Dr. Burroughs spoke of Amos, the man, the relation of the prophet to morals and religion, the prophet's conception of the Messianic times and then applied the message of Amos to the present day."

Mrs. Ida Price.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Ida Price, wife of Hamilton Price, who died on Friday at 2 p. m., occurred Sunday at the First Baptist church. The sermon was preached by her pastor, Rev. R. Daniel Trick, from the theme "The Beauty of a Christian Character." The text was Exodus 34: 29. Judging from the number of persons present and the lloral tributes offered, the deceased must have been a much thought of woman. Mrs. Price leaves a husband and one son and a host of friends to mourn her loss. In her death the community has lost a friend, the church a devoted sister, the husband a loving wife and the child a fond mother for she was a mother, wife, sister and friend in the truest sense of the word. We laid her away with the assurance that our loss was her gain, and the hope in the resurrection of the just made perfect by the power of God.

Badly Hurt.

Last Friday old Mr. Skelton, residing in the Highland neighborhood met with a serious accident which may result fatally. He was leading a cow and thoughtlessly wrapped the lead rope about his wrist. The animal ran off and dragged the old man quite a distance, bruising him in a frightful manner and dislocating his shoulder. Dr. Lccch gave medical attention and pronounces the case as a very grave one.

A Wild Man.

Bob Osborn is authority for the statement that a wild man is roaming about the Bristle Ridge neighborhood and gives the following account of it: "The animal, for it acts more like an animal than a human being, has been seen by half a dozen of the most prominent denizens of the Ridge, and therefore the story is corroborated by more than one tongue. The man or beafct, whichever it may be, roams over the Ridge in the early morning or late in thesevening. Its food is roots and herbs, fowls from the farmers' henroosts and small grain. It was first soCft on the ictcher farm about 7 o'clock in the evening and whenspied was in the act of cornering a chicken about twenty rods from tthe barn. It was on all fours and running at as great a speed ada dog. When it discovered it was observed it uttered a sound which can best be described as between the bark of a dog and the hello of a man, and struck ft at full speed toi Lue dense woods back of Center school house. It was next seen in a wheat field alongside of the road that runs west, south of Center church. When seen it was pulling the grain from a shock and devouring the heads. Again it took to the woods on the north side of the road. Where it crossed the 'road the imprint of its four feet, or its two feet and hands, as it traveled on all fours every time it was observed, might be plainly seen and the prints jwere like those that would be made by a barefooted person on all fours. It has been twice seen at other places near Ludlow Thomas school house and near the«Bottenberg farm and at the latter place its face was seen, which was that of an unkempt man with long hair and a r&ffg'Gci beard. The people may well be frightened if such things as this run loose and the Lord only knows what Bristle Ridge will spring on us next."

Must Pay Postage.

The Postmaster-General has issued an order requiring railroad companies to observe a law which has never been enforced, respecting the free carriage of their own letters. Hereafter all letters to station agents and officials will be required to have postage, but exception is to be made in cases where letters refer to trains bearing them. A special form of stamped envelope, such as is used by express companies, will be supplied the railroad companies, and these must be canceled on delivery to the train hands. This new order will become general immediately-

Drunk aud Dressed Up.

The saloons have been bottle tight for a month past, but for some reason there were more drunken men abroad Sunday than at any time in a year past. Several of them were corralled by the police and given a dose of law in the Mayor's court Monday morning.
