Mrs. J. JVT. Stephenson, T-ttto of Thin l(y,

iM Hifiilly Out Up In Huiiuwtty Accident.

Monday evening'the people of Linden were startled to see a horse, to which were hanging fragments of harness and parts of a buggy, go dashing through the streets. Investigation showed it to be the horse of Mrs. J. M. Stephenson,who had driven him out in the country several hours before. Greatly alarmed Mrs. Stephenson's friends started out to find her and tbeir alarm became greater as they marked, by bits of broken buggy and harness the runaway's track. Half a mile out Mrs. Stephenson, bloody and unconscious, was found lying along the road side. At first it was thought she was dead, but a closer examination showed she still lived. She was taken back to town and now the physicians give considerable assurance of her recovery. She is frightfully cut and bruised about the head and will be sadly disfigured. Mrs. Stephenson was the victim of another runaway accident some time ago, shortly after her removal from Crawfordsville, but her former injuries were not nearly so severe as this one.

Lew Wallace In Darlington. DARLINGTON, Oct. 13. Long before the hour of speaking crowds stood in the aisles, doorway and even the stair was packed with meu and women so that upon the arrival of the General some difficulty was experienced in getting him into the hall, but E.P. McClaskey, as chairman, finally succeeded in reaching the platform with the General and introduced him with a

few well chosen remarks. He began his speech by paying our town a small tribute for our improvement and asking the earnest attention of all to what he might say as he now considered this political question a serious one and one of vast importance to every man, woman and child. He then gave several reasons why he could not vote for William Jennings Bryan for President, every one of which was worthy of the serious consideration of every American citizen. He spoke for a little over two hours to a crowd jammed and packed, hundreds standing the entire time, and with the exception of a very few red hot Bryan men none left the hall and their places were immediately filled by others so that when he quit speaking the crowd had not diminished. Such meetings have but one result and that for good. No abuse, no blustering, no noise, no confusion, but all interested in what was being said, and we thank the committee for sending us General Lew Wallace.

A lady stenographer took the speech presumably for Mike Foley lo answer on the 20th.

Not There, My Child.

Logansport Reporter: A letter was received at police headquarters this morning from L. M. Cochran, of Crawfordsville, requesting the Logansport officers to be on the lookout for Lee Coolman and John Coolman, supposed to be in this city. Mr. Cochran states that he has Charles Coolman, a one legged man, in custody for larceny, and wants the other two oa the same charge. The Coolmans are described as young men aged 17 and 22 respective^' who claim Logansport as their home. Ch&rles is a cigar-maker. The police say the.v know the Coolmans but do not think they are in the vicinity at present. It is not known what they stole but the writer of the letter expressed himself as very anxious to secure their apprehension.

A Test Vote.

The Chicago llccord has instituted a unique form of getting the sentiment of the people in the doubtful States as regards the election, by sending out postal cards to ten per cent, of the voters, selected in alphabetical blocks, requesting the Deople to inform them as to how they intend to vote, and the paper intends having a regular elec-} tion board and publish the result of each day's voting until the election. A number of the postal cards have been received in this city.

Gen. Wallace's Appointments. General Wallace has arranged to go into Michigan beginning October 19, and will remain there until the 24th. Among other places he will speak in Kalamazoo in accordance with a promise made to Senator Burrows when the latter was here. On October 20 Gen. Wallace will meet lion. James A. Mount at Rochester and the two will speak together every day up to and including Oct. 31.

TERRIBLY INJURED. TO RAISE THE RA1ES.

The Cil.v Council to tins Katea I For Ciiiumorrial Lighting After .lur.uury 1.

Monday evening after the regular meeting the council held a secretses sion and it was then decided to make a raise in the rates of commercial electric lighting, the raise to tro into effect on January 1, 1SD7. It was the sense of the council that the rates had always been too low and that a raise would only place the price of electric lighting on a level with lighting by artificial and natural gas. It was voted therefore to raise the rate of sixteen candle power incandescent lamps from 10 cents to GO cents per month where such lights are burned until midnight, and from '10 cents to &0 cents where they remain burning all night. There will be no necessity, it is said, for the putting in of a new circuit as it will be too easy to ascertain the. names of those who would attempt to burn all night ard then report as having bwrned until ilv midnight. All such consumers iiro. down town, the residences using thu light being regulated by meter. There wilt be a corresponding raise in muter rent also. The price will be raited from iv half to three quarters of a cent per amphere, an ampliere burning a sixteen canuiD power lamp for ore hour.

Worked Out.

John S. Brown has his Indianapolis Journal left each mcrning at Whitenack Cotton's drug store, and there he regu.'arly resorts to revel in the gladsome accounts of Republican glory and Popocratic perfidy. On Tuesday, however, he was made the victim of a cruel poke and for about one hour he aged as rapidly as "She" after her last plunge in the rejuvenating flames. Some malicious person took a copy of the SciithieL and pasted over its caption the caption of the Journal, doing an exceedingly artistic job and giving the paper the exact appearance of its Republican contemporary. The base counterfeit was laid on the table where Mr. Brown is wont to find his daily doctrinal hread, and upon Mr. Brown's arrival he picked it up with a .happy and placid smile, sitting down in his seat to drink in the words of worth and wisdom to the faithful. It was noticed that he squirmed and started when his eye struck the first venomously partizan headline, referring in bitter language to the "villainy and perfidy of the gold bugs." It was observed that his eyes glittered with surprise and anger as he glanced at the next glaring head, which teemed with the fulsome laudations of the reprehensible Bryan. His face grew red as he perused a short article relative to the Hopping of a "lifelong and prominent Republican who could no longer stomach the baseness and dishonor of Republicanism." It was not long before Mr. Brown was worked up to a very proper pitch of righteous indignation and was stating in good set terms the proper punishment for an editor who would sell out his paper to the enemy on the eve of the election. Mr. Brown consulted several friends who had been let into the joke and all agreed with him that baser treachery or viler dishonor was never known before, even in the case of the unlamented and unwept Mr. Judas Iscariot. Finally, however, Mr. Brown was enJighted by the gentlemen most instrumental in practicing the deception and he has reconsidered his determination of "stopping the paper,"

ut New Itichuioiiri.

Gen. Lew Wallace addressed an immense audience atNewRichmond Tuesday. There was a large procession and the town was full of people, and not one-half the crowd could get into the hall, notwithstanding the Popocrats had worked industriously to drum up ar.d take away all of their people that would go to hear Mike Foley at Linden. There were many Democrats who preferred to remain and hear Gen. Wallace, and they were attentive listeners. Gen. Wallace's speech was a splendid argument in favor of protection and honest money, and a convincing appeal to the people to stand by the nation's honor, rather than follow the leadership of that unAmerican and unpatriotic quartette, AltgeJd, Coxey, Tillman and Bryan. Hon. S. It. Artman, candidate for Joint Senator, was present and made a few remarks.

At tlie Fair GrouudB,

After considerable work the fair grounds have been secured for the Republican rally on Oct. 17, and the Democratic ralley on Oct. 24. The gates will uot be opened on either day, however, until after the parade arrives and no teams will be admitted to the grounds before.

MR. BLATCIILEY MRS.

Tim State CtOo1o iRt HHH Mutlti Tour of

the Cii»n mid Oil of Imlhum.

State Geologist lUatchlcy, in his tour through the Indiana oil field, has found 1,000 producing wells in the State, while more than twice that many have been abandoned after ccasing to produce.

Nearly 0,000 oil wells have been drilled in Indiana, and Mr. Blatehley estimates that the total cost of drilling these wells will reach §0,000,000, that amount of money beiug spent in the material and labor put upon them. The pool of oil, he thinks, lies 011 the edge of the gas field. The oil territory in Indiana, he says, covers a great deal more territory than the gas belt.

The Cnmp Meeting Hoard,

Lafayette Courier: The board of inunagers of the Battle Ground campmeeting association met at Dr. George F. Keiper's office yesterday, approving the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer, and adopting resolutions regardthe death of Robert H. Kelly, a member of the board. A. A. Jones, of Battle Ground, was elected in his ylaee. The question of a new hedge fence around the ground was discussed. Rev. George Stuart, who conducted the cauip-meeting last year, is to be invited to do so next year. This means a very successful meeting. The board is making strong efforts to secure the State Assembly of the l2pworth League for Battle Ground, and all sortB of inducements are to be offered.

How to Lower the Death Itatn. Purdue University through its department of sanitary science is issuing a series of very valuable monographs relating to the public health. The last one out is pertinent to Crawfordsville by reason of the determination of our city council to put in a system of sewerage. We take the following selections from it:

A sewerage system is the necessary complement to the public water supply. This is so because the water is essentially the cleanser of the building into and through which it passes. It carries out of the ho'ise a vast amount of filth. As the neighborhoods become more crowded, it is obviously undesirable, and even unsafe, to saturate the soil with such polluted water, as would be the case were the old-fashioned cesspools used to receive it. Consequently it becomes necessary, sooner or later, to introduce a-general system of sewerage to carry away the filth, not only from the individual houses, but from the city or town itself as well.

Wherever the old system of

cesspools has been replaced by a public sewerage system, in that town or city has the death rate baen lowered. Notwithstanding this well-known fact, municipalities are always slow to introduce a sewerage system. It has r-lso been known for some years that the sewage could be disposed of in an inoffensive manner, but still, with the most unsanitary conditions surrounding them, people are slow to act, and by this negligence unwittingly cause many deaths and much sickness.

The subjects of the monographs so far issued are: The Nature of Sanitary Science and Its Value to the State.

Some Sanitary Aspects of Milk Supplies and Dairying. On the Purification of Water Supplies of Cities and Towns.

Typhoid Fever in Indiana and its Possible Conueet'on with Water Supplies.

Sewage Disposal in Cities and Towns. Any or all them will be sent free to anyone by addressing President Smart, Lafayette. A series on pure foods will next be issued.
