TOM SMOCK'S VESTURE.

He Loaves For Culm With riight Companions to Drive tlie Spanish From tlie |I»le.

Nearly everyone in Crawfordsville knows Tom Smock, a grandson of I. F. Wade. The lad was raised here but went several years ago with his parents to Indianapolis, although he has frequently been back on visits. The following from the Indianapolis Jimrval cannot faif to interest his friends here: "Cuba is to be free and the Spanish driven from the isle, if a little band of devoted Indianapolitans can accomplish that result. ThomasWade Smock, of 22!) North Pennsylvania street, and eight companions, all with one exception, young men of thiscity, will leave to-day for the seat of war'to battle for the cause of liberty. "The party lias been organizing for some time under the leadership of Sincck, but from one cause and another has dwindled down from the original number of thirty or more until but nine are left. Others were expected yesterday from Laporte to join the expedition, but they failed to put in an appearance and the sturdy nine will go alone. The young men are embarking in this project entirely on their own responsibility. No one is furnishing money or transportation each of the young men paying his own expenses. They have no definite plan of procedure except to get to Jacksonville, Fla., as soon as possible. Once there they will trust to luck and the Cuban representatives to get them where bullets and Spanish abound.

None of the young men carries any arms, a little medicine and a few clothes comprising the entire outfit. "Thomas W. Smock, who leads the party, is twenty-six years of age and lives at 229 North Pennsylvania street. He has made a study of the signal service and expects the knowledge thus gained to be of some service in this venture. The other members of the party are: Milton U.- Hos well, a tailor of this city, aged twenty-nine, formerly of the United. States marine service Samuel L. Rlurbarger, -123 College av enue, aged twenty-one, once a member of the Light Artillery football team William O. Freeman, aged twenty-two, a machinist of fort Wayne avenue Omar Wiley, aged twenty-three, 171 east Ohio street: Charles Martin, aged thirty-five, 134 west Maryland street Theodore Boyer, aged twenty-four, a machinist of north East street Clyde C. Gable, aged twenty-one, a teamster, 501 east Market street, and J. M. Pickerel, of Gray, Hamilton county.

Ada Gray In Trouble.

The Crawfordsville people who attendt,,1 the "East Lynne" presentation by Ada Gray at Music Hall on Christmas night will be pleased to read the following from the Lebanon Reporter: "The Ada Gray company, which appeared at the Grand Opera House Monday night and which was to have appeared there last night but failed because of no audience, is surely 'on the bum.' They had a small audience Monday night, but completely failed to interest it. Throughout the performance they were laughed at by the audience because of the ridiculous playing more than anything else. It was the unanimous verdict that 'the show was no good,' and Manager Brown tried to persuade them to cancel their date last night. Thjs they refused to do, but after taking in only a dollar or two at the door they handed back the money and the play was declared off. They could not pay their board bill and their trunks were attached this morning to satisfy a debt for board of £21.1!). However, later, by paying S" the trunks were allowed to go to Tipton, where the company will appear to-night. H. C. Ulen, Jr.. accompanied them there, where he will release the trunks when the company pays his expenses there and re. turn and the balance of the hotel bill. Verily, some travelers' roads are rough."

Crawfordsville Business College. The winter term of the above school will open on Monday, Jan. 4, 1807. Claude Clark, a former student, has a good position at Chicago in the ollice of the Chief Engineer of the Monon Road. The scttool has again been compelled to enlarge its quarters.

EN. LEW WALLACE'S CONTEST.

lie Tp On tlie Ground and Will Make a Fight For tlie Seuatorshlp.

Speaking of the contest for the Senatorship, the Indianapolis News says: "Lew Wallace has come to see how his boom is getting along. He finds John 0. Wingate andC. N. Williams, of his county, occupying a good room on the second floor of the hotel, and 'but-ton-holing' Senators and Representatives who chanced to drop in. Mr. Wallace looked the field over, checked his overcoat and proceeded to shake hands with all the members of the Legislature who came his way. His managers are not laying claim to votes at this time, but they are going on the theory that something might 'turn up.' During the last two days there has been a good deal of speculation among the politicians who gather at the hotel as to how Senator-elect Mount stood on the Senatorsliip. This kind of talk was revived by the appearance of John Wingate as the chief manager of the Wallace campaign. After having considered that Wallace and Mount are from the same county, some of the politicians reached the conclusion that the Governor-elect was probably for Wallace. "While this subject was under discussion by the visiting 'statesmen' Governor-elect Mount entered the hotel. He had come over from his farm on the morning train. After he had disposed of several candidates for custodian of the State House in a graceful way he went over to where Mr. Wallace sat and shook his hand. "A little later, when he was informed that a good many representatives of the party were wondering what attitude he proposed to assume toward the Senatorial contest, he authorized the News to say: 'I shall take no part whatever in the Senatorial contest. My position is one of neutrality. I also have an understanding with my appointees that they are to take no part in the contest.

I said to Mr. Wilson, my secretary, before I appointed him, that he was not to participate in any way in the contest. I shall be glad if you make it clear that I~"have no candidate for Senator, and that I shall not do anything for or against any candidate.' "It is said that there is a movement on foot to concentrate the opposition to Fairbanks. The story is that the managers forMcKeen foresee that their candidate has no show for the nomination, and are willing to throw their votes to someone else. It was suggested that Lew Wallace was, possibly, the man in the minds of the men who would like to see Fairbanks defeated. The McKeen and Wallace people seem to be on excellent terms, but everybody who was likely to know anything about a'deal' declared that there was no truth in the stories in circulation. "The politicians here are wondering what has become of the candidacy of Robert S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne. There has been no word from that section of the State for several days, but it is taken for granted that Mr. Taylor is still a candidate, and will be down here one of these days. "The best informed representatiye of the party believe that there has never been any question of the nomination of Fairbanks since General Harrison announced that he (Harrison) would not accept the nomination."

January Weather.

Foster says that January will abound with many and severe storms. The first two or three days of the month there will be a chango toward warmer. About the 3rd a cold wave will set in that will be a knocker. A change to warmer will ensue with rain and snow on the Oth to 8th, followed by colder weather. Another storm period begins on the 10th, moving eastward from the Pacific. Another change to warmer with general storm conditions will appear about the 22nd, first in the west, and during the 23rd, 24th and 25th more storms of rain and snow will pass eastward across the country. Heavy gales about the 25th. The last perturbation of the elements falls from the 28th to the 30th. Cold, clearing weather generally at the close of the month.

A Great Coiivoniemw.

Voris & Cox will next season maintain an institution which will be a well spring of joy to all wheelmen. They will have at their store a large storage tank for compressed air. This tank will have several faucets so that wheelmen with llabby tires may come, attach the faucet to the valve stem and turn on air until the tires are of the desired hardness. This refuge from the wild and wearying exercise of pumping up with a small instrument on a hot day will bo one which all bicyclers will appreciate.

Governor Mount yesterday telephoned the JOURNAL that he had made two appointments of especial interest in the military circles of the State. He has selected Col. J. K. Gore of Elkhart, as Adjutant General and Col. B. A. Richardson, of Indianapolis, as Quartermaster General. Col. Gore is the Colonel of the third regiment of State militia, an old Union soldier of distinction and ability. His selection is a compliment to Northern Indiana which has long merited but long been denied ollicial recognition in State militia circles. Col. Richardson is one of the best known militiamen of the State and as commandant of the famous Zouaves he made a fine record.

.. Quail Law In Force. The law protecting quails goes into effect tu-day and as a result quite a large number of persons were out hunting the birds yesterday. There are more to survive the slaughter this season than usual, as the birds have been so strong and wary that ordinary hunters could do little with them. If the winter is mild and the birds escape its rigors there will be an unusually large number next fall.

A Poem of tlio* Dying Yetir. The following poem apropos to the season was written by the Rev. Dr. L^ech and a perusal of it will convince all that Dr. Leech possesses decided talent in poety:

Tim CIIItISTlAN'8 ItECOI.I.ECTlONS Olf TI1K DVI NO YKAIt. '""''J Another year Is dying but Its record will endure,

Aud my deeds must live forever whether nublo or inipuro And the words that I have spoken must survive tlie fading year.

And the thoughts that I hare cherished shall ejiist and reappear. v.

Golden blessings God has lavished as the silvery weeks have sped, And His tendor hand has led "me as tho splondid months have tied Uko tho glittering stars In number did Ills brliliantglfts abound.

And like ocean in Its vastneas has Hislovo engirt me round.

IJeulth has been my constant partner and the Now Year greets me hale. While more worthy ones about me now, havo seen life's vigor fall. And wHh kind words and fraternal, and with fellowship most dear.

Friends havo dally brought their tributes through the btlef and happy year.

Home has seemed a bright Elysium, lit with joy's unchanging rays. And its voices dear aud gladsome, havo rung out their happy lays Childrenprecious, parents noble, husband. wife and cherished one,

Havo brought bliss and fond enjoyment while the year Its race has rim.

Aud God's Spirit's cloudless witness has within my heart, abode Like a diamond In Its setting, and its beams have ever glowed. And tho peaco of God has rested In my soul by man uuseen,

Like the mountain lake tliatsleepeth.arched with blue aud rimmed with gieun.

If at times has come aililction with Its broad aud ebon cloud If misfortune or bereavement havo uiy troubled spirit bowed I remember God has wrltteu that llochastens those Ho loves,

And with discipline of suffering our loyalty He proves.

As I marshal these bright memories of a ctm that runneth o'er As I think of God's long patience, aud His love In days of yore. Obligations rise colossal, and with thankfulness I pray

That my gratitude, like incense, may ascend from day to day.

And I plead that wrongs committed,—trespasses 'gainst man and God,— All tiangresslous and all evil,-all iniquity of word,— All unrighteousness of action,—and till wickedness of thought,—

May bo blotted from God's volumes through the grace Ills Son hath brought.

With unsullied soul, and conscience undetlled and free from sin, May I see tills year expire, and the stainless year begin Spotless, upright, pure and holy, may I pass the year to come.

Fruitful In my Master's service happy while I yearn for home.

For there Is a home in heaven, where no register of years. Shall be kept by God's bright ungels. In that laud that knows not oars Summer relgueth In mld-wlnter, and no night gloom shades tho sun,

I' or the eve is always morning, and the midnight always noon,
