HANLEY AT MUSIC HALL.

A ItlaRiiiilceiit Parade of the Morton A I.arge Aiulicuce—The Highland yuartette—A Splendid Speech.

The citizens of Crawfordsville and vicinity turned out in force Monday at Music Hall to greet Hon. J. Frank Hanley, the brilliant, able and eloquent member of Congress from tha old Ninth District. The Morton Club to the number of several hundred marched from their headquarters on Washington street to Hotel Ramsey, where the speaker, who was accorn panied by Judge Rabb, together with a number of local politicians, were in waiting. Headed by the Crawfordsville band and the Mount and Landis drum corps the procession moved to Music Hall. B. R. Russell presided, and preceding his introduction of the speaker he announced that the Highland Quartette, of Lafayette, would favor the audience with two or three campaign songs. The quartette is composed of Robert Rice, Ed Jackson, Charles F. Weigle and lid Weigle. They proved to be artists in their line and brought down the house with their taking and up-to-date songs. At the conclusion of a couple of songs Mr. Hanley was introduced by the chairman. He at once placed himself enrapport with his audience by his musical voice and cadenced sentences, and Lor two hours the people listened to eloquence, logic and convincing facts. The disease from which the people are now suffering he diagnosed as Democratic tariff legislation injected into their systems in 1894, and not the "crime of 1873" committed twenty-three years ago. He spoke at length on the finaacial question in which he showed conclusively that the fathers in fixing the ratio between gold and silver regarded this as a "mercantile problem," as Jefferson expressed it, and that the ratio of 10 to 1 had no divine cower. He deplored the fact that hure was a party in the country whose sole aim was to succeed bj- arraying class against class, section against section, and by appeals to the passions and prejudices of the people. Altogether the speech was a most magnificent effort and surpassed by few, if any, ever delivered in Crawfordsville. At the conclusion of his speech a couple of telegrams were handed him announcing the result in Maine, which he read and which set the audience wild. The people rose to their feet and made the walls of the building tremble with their cheers over the great victory in the Pine Tree State. The Quartette was again called for and rendered two more songs, which were loudly and heartily encored.

Took a Drag at Houk.

The trial of Wilber G. Houk charged with blockading the sidewalks took place Tuesday afternoon before Mayor Bandel and was an interesting and edifying social function. The courtly Wilber G. kept things rattling and there was no lack of interest at any stage of the proceedings, especially when the Mayor found the defendant guilty and assessed a fine of SI and costs, making a grand total of about 825. Houk appealed to the circuit court and gave bond. He has declared his intention of dying in the last legal ditch.

Agreed to Digmgree.

The case of the commonwealth vs. lioswell Clough occupied the attention of 'Squire Stil well's court all day Tuesday.

HOS\TJC11

runs a dispensary at

New Richmond and the good citizens of Meharry Grove vicinity claim that he runs it on the octopus plan, selling where he had no license, claiming that the license granted him by the county commissioners gave hiro the privilege to sell only within a certain space inclosed by a few linear feet in the aforesaid village: that he did not have the right to reach out feelers and put forth his liquid supply in any other part of Coal Creek township. Hence their wrath when they thought they discovered Boswell selling red eye at their annual old settlers' meeting which occurred a short time ago. Aflidavit was at once made against him and his case came up Monday. Young Judd Meharry stated be bought whisky of Clough at the stated time and place and Boswell said he didn't. The case went to the jury at 4 o'clock and the twelve good men and true wrestled with the evidence until 9 when they were discharged, disagreeing, a half dozen for and against. It is hardly probable that any man would take whisky to the woods to sell it or that anyone in the woods would drink it. Oh, no.

Found Not Guilty.

Tne case of the State vs. James Grijnes, marshal, was tried in ti court of Stephen A. Stilweil Tee.day without the intervent'- of jury. It was charged thct liarr-liP.i Grimes rudely assaulted t'ouk when the latter was arg' -Krlitics and roughly and unlaw, lui-Aed him into an adjacent gutter, thus assaulting him. After hearing the evidence pro and con Justice Stilweil decided it was not an unlawful touching of the person of the said Houk and found accordingly. During the argument Houk insisted upon making one of his characteristic speeches but Justice Stilweil refused to allow him to spout, saying the prosecuting attorney was able to tend to that part of it. Of course Houk became warm under the collar, so much so that you could notice it by looking at him.

Lights That Failed.

Superintendent J. S. Zuck has completed grading the manuscripts of the teachers who took the August examination for license. The result of the examination was as follows: Licensed for 24 months 2 Licensed for 12 months. 2U Licensed for inontfis 6 Failed 27

Total..... 55 There are how just about enough teachers licensed to fill the schools of the county and Superintendent Zuck considers the corps more efficient in every way than that of any previous year in the county's history.

Clay Clement Coming.

The next attraction at Music Hall will be a most excellent one and one which will not fail to please Crawfordsville theatre goers. Clay Clement who made such a great hit here last season in "The New Dominion," will appear on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 24, in "The Bells." Mr. Clement is this year supported by one of the strongest companies on the road and carries his own special scenery. His performance will be greatly superior to his fine show of last year.

KiRh'.y-Slxth Keglmeiital Keuniou. The annual reunion of the Eightysixth regiment, Indiana sVolunteers, will be held at Williamsport on Wednesday and Thursday, October 7 and 8. Members of the regiment living in this county will please bear these dates in mind and arrange their business so they can be present. Former reunions held at this beautiful litt'.e town have attested the fact that its citizens yieid to none in generous and hearty hospitality, especially to the Eighty-sixth Indiana.

Conditional Contracts.

A music dealer of this city lias contracted for the sale of over forty pianos and organs conditional on McKinley's election. Two instruments are sold by him conditional on Bryan's election. There seems to be a great lack of confidence at present and no one wishes to buy until the result of the election is known.

A False Keport.

Thomas Henderson, who was reported in last week's

JOUKNAI,

as sell

ing stalls at the fair grounds, denies the charges and wishes the public to understand that they are false and without foundation. He does not charge the Association with circulating the report but lays it to the door of other busy bodies.

New Suit Filed.

Clyde V. Halsted has brought suit against Scott Ford, a tenant, for unbaid balance of rent, and asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the crop.

Hoard of Health I'UHIWH Strict Kulen att To School Cliildrou.

The Indiana State Board of Health has adopted special sanitary rules governing the schools of the State and the following explanation is olTered: "Simultaneously with the annual opening of the public schools, diphtheria, measles, mumps, scarlet fever and many other diseases usually increase. This is caused by the congregating of the pupils. They mass together, and contact spreuds infection. Some few pupils may have just recovered from a communicable disease, ir they may be from families that have been smitten, and being infected, they transmit diseasb to those who are susceptible. It is reasonable to assume that the suddenly-imposed confinement in the school after a period of freedom frets the children for a few day, causing more of less nervousness, and so resistance is temporarily lowered. In this way susceptibility may be increased, and sickness may more readily follow. To do all that is possible to prevent the usual school opening increase in illness is the object of these rules. "It is ordered in the rules that desk tops and banisters te washed with soap and water afterward be treated with disinfectant. This is required "ocaubc it is more than propable that disease germs are planted upon exposed desk tops and banisters by infected persons, and. being transferred by ihft child: .n's hands to their mouths, disaase results. The washing and disiufecting will do much to prevent infection from this source. "Open water buckets and large tin cups are condemmed, because the dipping of water with cups which are used by many, introduce spittle into the supply, and, besides open buckets catch dirt and dust. Diptheria, diarrhoea, sore mouth and other complaints have been transmitted in this way. This source of disease may be avoided to a considerable degree by supplying a covered tank with a large free (lowing xaucet and a small cup, The opening of a large faucet will furnish a long stream, which will suddenly fill the cup and wash the saliva from the edge. Ample drainage must be provided for carrying away the waste water. Slates are condemmed because of their uncleanliness. Writing and figures being obliterated, as they frequently are, with spittle, and as the damp slates readily collect dust, the danger of the transmission of disease in this way is very great. Small children generally place pencils and pens in their mouths, and if these articles are promiscuously distributed without being sterilized, as the rules direct, infection may result. The collecting of pencils seems necessary to always insure one to each pupil. Spit ting is prohibited, because it is a possible source of disease, is filthy and unnecessary. These rules may seem trifling and unnecessary to those who have not given consideration to modern sanitation, but the teachers more than any other public ollicer may secure the physical well-being of the pupil as well as the intellectual advancement.". ',:y

Need Cottages.

The G. A. R. State Soldiers' Home committee has prepared an address to post commanders and comrades, which says: "Our State Soldiers' Home is in great need of more cottages. Below we give you a list of counties which have up to the present date made appropriations. If your county does not appear in the list, make special effort to have an appropriation made by your county commissioners for a cottage: Tippecanoe 83,200, Wabash yiOO, Montgomery §535, Warren S3,500, Vigo §2,500, Spencer S500, Lawrence S500, Lake §2,100, Stark S550, Hendricks 8573, Newton §700, Floyd 8700, Vanderburg, 2,100, LaPorte 82,200, White S2.100, Porter 8050, Benton 82,000, Clinton 82,500, Cass 82,500, Wayne 82,300, Jackson 82,500, Knox 82,100, Tipton 82,100, Parke 82,100, Fountain 82,100, Johnson S2,500, Boone 82,500, Dearborn 81,000, Marion 8500, Howard ^1,000, amilton 81,000, Marshall 8300, Allen 81,000.

Hanley at W»\»eland.

Hon. J. Frank Hanley addressed the Republicans of Waveland on Tuesday. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity, every inch of space being occupied. There were as many more on the streets anxious to hear him but were unable to gain an entrance. S. W. McCormick presided and introduced the speaker. Mr. Hanley held his audience spell-bound for two hours by his eloquence and logic. It was the verdict of those who heard it as simply being unanswerable. The speech was one of the best ever heard in Waveland.

PART FIRST

No. 2-1 Weekly Crop Itulletln. Central Station, Indianapolis, lud.— Warm and dry weather prevailed during the week, except in the extreme northern portion, where rains fell. Elsewhere, in localities, rain is needed, as the ground has become hard, and seeding is postponed. [Corn is nearly all safe from frost, except a little in low ground. Most of it is cut and in shock. Much has been cut for fodder, as the hay crop was light. The crop is of good quality and very large, while in many counties it is one of the largest ever harvested. Buckwheat is safe from frost and nearly ready to cut, and is filled out well. Millet in most localities is a heavy crop. Tobacco is all housed in good condition. Potatoes, except in few localities, are large and good crops. Tomatoes are ripening fast, and the crop turns out well. There are plenty of melons and vegetables are abundant. Crimson clover is in fine condition. A fair crop of apples is being picked for shipping. Grapes and peaches are ripe, and the crops are large. A second crop of hay is being cut in some localities. Clover hulling continues, the yield being light and the quality poor. Plowing is nearly done, and seediug of wheat, timothy, etc., progresses where the, fields are not too dry. Wheat and rye, sowed early, have come up and are growing nicely. Much bog cholera prevails.

And that said board also believe that all the histories lately sent to you by said publishers are also defective in this respect and are, therefore, in fact, not the books adopted by this board. "You are therefore advised not to receive or distribute any copies of Montgomery's 'Leading Facts in American History' until such revision shall have been completed according to the directions of this board, and you shall be notified of same, "We further advise youthp,t we have had an interview with a representative of the house of Ginn & Co., and that said representative has informed us that the errors and omissions were unintentional and that the house will carry out the the agreement made with the board
