PROF. LEE 0. SMITH

An Interesting Prospectus Kolattve to His Very Successful Professional "Work.

The Vegara Conservatory of music has issued itu annual catalogue and makes the following notice of Prof. Lee Orean Smith of this city, now of the faculty of the conservatory: "Lee Orean Smith is an artist whom the conservatory is highly gratified in augmenting its staff of instructors with, and we take great pleasure in announcing this fact to the music loving public. He is a highly accomplished violinist and a most successful' teacher. He has studied assiduously his art and mastered it thoroughly. Many of his pupils are now on the concert stage and have been received most welcomely by the leading critics of the country, and are especially commended on their firm, sonorous tone, brilliant tecnique, and their graceful bowing. He possesses in a high degree the faculty of imparting to his pupils the fine musical feeling and artistic interpretation of musical works possessed by himself. "Thorough musicianship is a most essential quality as a teacher of the violin and this Mr. Smith is in every sense of the word. As a composer, he is the author of quite a number of fine musical works, which include for violin, "Elegie," "Barcorolle," "Romance," "Allegro Giocoso" and a number of smaller pieces for young students. "For voice he has written some most charming works, namely "The Long Ago," "Song of Spring,'' "Xotturno," "Alienation," Lullaby," with violin obligata, and "Four Leaf Clover."

He has also written quite a number of selections for orchestra and military band and a great many solos for pianoforte among which his "Tarantelle" and "Gavotte" the best known. At present, he is engaged on a symphonic work for grand orchestra which he hopes to produce at an early date. As a colorist in orchestrations he possesses a marked individuality and the accompanients to his violin and vocal works are delightful. "Mr. Smith will have charge of the Theoretical Department, which, will cover every branch of the Theory of Music from the simplest rudiments to the most complex forms of composition, and Musical Analysis. "The course for the violin as laid out by him covers every desirable point of technique and interpretation and gives the pupil the solidity of tone of the German school and the bravura and intricate bowing of the FrenchBelgian school. Pupils are assured to receive entire knowledge of the art both in solo and ensemble playing."

The catalogue also contains the portrait and a considerable mention of Miss Helene V. Webber, the instructor in elocution, to whom Mr. Smith's engagement has but recently been announced.

Keuiiion or the Tenth,

Frankfort Crescent: The surviving members of the Tenth Indiana regiment held their annual reunion at the fair grounds in this city to-day. Quite a number of the boys came in yesterday so they could mingle among friends here a little longer. The night and morning trains brought in a large number who belonged to the regiment, and at 10 o'clock, with a band of martial music ahead of them, the veterans formed in line and marched to the fair grounds, where they spent the day.

The Tenth Indiana first were out in the three months' service, and, after having served this time, they were mustered into the regular army Sept. 18, 1861, and served with distinction until the close. Gen. Manson, of Crawfordsville, who died suddenly in this city only a year ago, was colonel of the regiment. The various companies were made up of this, Carroll. Montgomery, Tippecanoe and Boone counties, and members from all these connties attended to-day. The regiment saw plenty of service during the three years it was in the field, and took active part in a number of the hardest fought battles of the war.

The election of officers resulted as follows: J. A. Price, president: R. W. Seagers, vice president J. B. Shaw, of Lafayette, secretary T. W. Small, of Lebanon, treasurer. The executive committee is made up of W. Wiley, M. C. Hockman, D. F. Allen, W. W. Wilds and Elisha Little. The office of president may be changed, as Mr. Price asked to be released.

The next reunion will be held here the third Wednesday in September, 1897.

From one who was there at the reunion the JOUKNAL learns that of the 73 present (16 were for McKinley, 7 declined to vote, Bryan none.

A Great Horse.

Lew Cochran has sold his magnifitwo year old shire stallion, "Wenona Mark," to the Crawfordsville Horsebreeder's Association, and he will stand this fall with the company's fine hackney, "Expectation." "Wenona Mark" is a two year old and one of the greatest fcolts ever in the county. A beautiful chestnut sorrel, strikingly marked,hehasthe bearing of the equine king he really is. Powerful and heavy he still sustains the grace of style and action of a full breu hackney. At the Crawfordsville fair this year he carried off the first premium, defeating even his own sire, the heretofore invincible "Wenona Albert," the World's Fair winner. "Wenona Mark" not only won first in his own class but gobbled up sweepstakes as well. Although a colt he is recognized already as a monarch in his class and the Breeders' Association fell that they have secured a rare prize in horseflesh.

Mr. Sayier's Success.

Milbert Sayler, the well known hog and chicken breeder of New Market, has had great success this year in the way of carrying oft the honors at the fairs.

AT NEW MARKET.

Tlie Old Soldiers' Kruufnn Proves To Hon Splendid Success.

Wednesday a very large and enthusiastic crowd of old soldiers from all over the, county assembled in the grove just west of New Market to hold a reunion. This was held under the auspices of the Scott and Brown township association. In the forenoon the services were opened by prayer by Rev. McCalip, who also delivered the address of welcome, which was a very strong address and highly appreciated by the large audience assembled. Tim was followed by a response from Past Department Commander C. M. Travis in an eloquent address which received enthusiastic applause. Among other things Mr. Travis said: "One of the principles established by the Grand Army of the Republic in Suppressing the war of the rebellion was this: 'Thai the National Government is and must be supreme.' That question was settled, and we hoped forever, by four long years of war, atid at a sacrifice of more than 300,000 loyal lives, a war that made more than 500,000 Union soldiers ond sailors cripples for life, and that left over a million widows, mothers, sisters and orphans to mourn for loved ones who did not return. This principle of the supremacy of the Government having been established and at such a fearful cost, I hold that it is the duty of every patriotic American citizen to stand by it in this year of our Lord 1S96, regardless of what political party or faction sets up a plank or platform to the contrary."

Then followed dinner, of which there was a bountiful supply, furnished by the ladies who accompanied the old soldiers. After dinner Department Commander Kaylor was introduced and delivered an excellent address, highly appreciated by the old boys and their friends. He was followed by Dr. Tucker, of Noblesville, whose address was not only patriotic, but quite eloquent. The music was furnished by the New Market band and taken altogether it was an enjoyable day.

NOTES BY T1J10 WAV.

At the annual election of officers Geo. Huffmire was elected President. There were enough provisions upon the table to make a whole brigade sick.

The declamation of little Miss Hurt, of New Ross, was excellently rendered and well received.

In the parade preceding the meeting there was a noticeable absercc of black hair and beards.

The Crawfordsville contingent lost their appetites. The ladies thought some of our crowd had found a mule's appetite.

PART FIRST

A YEAR FOR EACH DOLLAR.

Tho Two Young lturglnrs Who Operated ."*'OI,R Yountsvllln ICoad Are h«iit to PriMon.

Yesterday morning James W.Russell, white, and John 13. Curr, colored, ti two young burglars who went through the residences of Messrs. Billingsly and Smith, on tho Yountsville road several weeks ago, were before Judge Elarney. They were not represented by legal talent and stated that they wished to save time and expense to the county by pleading guilty and throwing themselves on the mercy of the court. In consideration of this laudable purpose of theirs the court decided to be lenient and sentenced each man to a three years' term in the northern prison. Both young men seemed satisfied and Mr. Curr grinned pleasantly and rather widely. The money they secured on their unholy forage amounted to about 83 00, so they were given a year for each dollar.
