A NEW FAIRASSOCIATION.
The Putnam, ont^oiiicrv ami Iloinhicks Fair Association In the Process ol Oi'kuiiizat ion.
Montgomery county is to have anew fair association, or rather the headquarters of a tri county fair will be on her soil. "The Putnam, Montgomery and Hendricks Fair Association" is now in the process of organization and the old grounds of tl New Iloss Fair Association have been secured. It is stated that quite a large number of prominent men in each of the three counties named have taken hoi of the enterprise and are pushing it for all that it is worth. An effort will be made to so advance matters that it will be possible to hold a meet this fall.
l'eirce and tlie Clover Leaf. Indianapolis News: It is not often that a railroad begins paying as soon as it is placed in the hands of a receiver, but the Clover Leaf is an exception to the rule. R. B. F. Peirce has been receiver of that road about 6even "nonths. Every week except two under his administration the road has shown an increase of earnings, and when the litigation has ended and the road placed on its feet again, so to speak, it is expected that it will pay the stockholders on their investment.
What is now the Clover Leaf, or the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, is a combination of several railroads that were known under the general name of the Toledo, Delphos & Burlington narrow gauge road, and it was the first narrow gauge railroad in the State. A prominent railroad man, who was quoted at SI,000,000, decided that he would luvest the money in this road. Robert G. Iugersoll, hearing of the proposed investment, sent for the railroad man and said to him: "You have all the mouey that any man ought to want If you invest your money in that railroad you will be a poor man."
Ingersoll's advice was not taken. The railroad man invested hie money and it turned out just as Mr. Ingersoll said that it would. It will never be known just how much money has been sunk in that road, but several fortunes have gone that way, and it was a constant drain on the purses of the owners, when it was decided to make it a standard gauge road. At last it went into the hands of a receiver, and, as stated, since that time it has been on a paying basis. Se successful has Mr. Peirce been that it is likely that he will be made president of the company when the re-organization takes place.
The Governor's Throat Trouble. Indianapolis News: Governor Mount did not remain long at his ollice this morning. lie passed a sleepless night caused by an affection of the throat, which dates from the old army days when he had the measles. The army surgeon wanted him to go into the hospital, but Governor Mount insisted on taking his part in the active operations, and inarching with the army was forced to ford a creek. He toolc cold in the throat and the measles settled causing a chronic affection of the throat. It is this throat trouble which makes public speaking a hard task for the Governor.

Ilelsa Mighl\ Good Friend of the l.oeal Oenlist* Itul llis Classen llnn'l I'll.
On Tuesday a fine old farmer with a trusting smile and a look of benign trust walked into the oflice of the Ramsey Motel and said to the clerk. "I want to see Prof. Mcltityre." "Who's Prof. Ale In tyre?-' asked the gentlemanly clerk as he threw the bull's eye glare of the diamond cluster on his shirt front into the old man'6 eyes causing liini to blink like a bat which has bumped an electric light. "Why he's the great eye doctor of Kalamazoo and he's the head of the eye college there, now traveling for his health in this part of the country and incidentally sellin' glasses to what few sufferers he happens upon, lie sold me a pair last week but they don't fit somehow and I want to see him. lie said he was stoppin' here and would be here for two weeks." "Well," said the clerk, "there isn't any such a man hero and there hasn't been." "'Do tell? Well that's ainazin' strange. Why he said ho was a good friend of Dr. Greene and Mat Kline and had told them all they ever knew about the eye business.
The clerk stepped to the telephone and called up Dr. Greene but he had never heard of the gifted professor who was out for his health and sold glasses.
The old gentleman then concluded that he had been buncoed and he said so. "Still," said he as he limped painfully away, "its mighty strange. There was a mighty likely lookin'young chap with the professor and he said he wus Dave McClure's nephew and that Prof, Mclntyre was all right."
Reports from the country show that the bogus professor is doing a laud office business in the sale of window glass.
The Young Will Case Again. Greeucattle limnicr-Timcs: Putnam circuit court is invaded this week by Montgomery county lawyers, litigants and witnesses in a suit that promises to occupy all week and, perhaps, then some. The title of the case iB Sarah A. Miller vs. Editha A. Young et al, and is over the contest of a will. The plaintiffs are children of Lafayette Young, who was the son of A. Young, better known as Dudley, who was wealthy and resided just over the line in Montgomery county. Ilis grandchildren are thus suing their grandmother to set aside the will of their grandfather. The first trial occupied eight days in the Montgomery court and it is the opinion of attorneys who are acquainted with the cause that the present trial will take fully as long. There are about thirty witnesses on a side and the legal talent is as follows: For the plaintiff, Crane & Anderson, of Crawfordsville, and P. 0. Colliver. of Greencastle for the defense, Kennedy & Kennedy and E. C. Snyder, of Craw, fordsville Geo. Harney, of Ladoga,and S. A. Llays, Greencastle. About $21,000 worth of property is involved in the litigation.
I'm'
PROF. M'INTYRE. MOONE AND MOTE.
the Defendant.
The case of Andy Guilliams vs. Marcel 1 us Pope is at an end. Andy asked lianiiiL't's of Marcellus for alienating the afVections of Mrs. Guilliams but it was pretty conclusively shown on trial that the affections of that lady were anything but alienated. She sat at the table of her husband's attorneys and took a lively interest ip his case. The jury made short work of the suit when it was entrusted to their hands and brought in a verdict for the defendant. Andy was evidently prepared for just such a verdict for it didn't affect him to the extent that it was necessary to pour water on his head. Marcellus seemed real happy at the rebiilt and going down from the court room drank an ice cream soda in celebration of his escape.
l'reserved I,eiv Wallaee's Diagram. A (special from Richmond says: "When General Lew Wallace was here attending the G. A. A. encampment he visited the Garfield school building and asked the children what he should talk to them about, Turkish schools or liow to tight a battle. The vote was in favor of a battle. General Wallace draws cleverly and he outlined oil the blackboard a map of the most approved plan of battle, showing the relative positions of the attacking and defensive lines, with their batteries, pickets and main lines of infantry and cavalry. The children prized the instruction and the personality of the man who gave it so much, that the sketch was not erased and the lines have been traced in white paint Mid are a fixture on the blackboard."

Last Tuesday Marcus Mote, the well known farmer, was in the city and around on Market street met a very engaging young man who stated that he was, a 6trauger here and who wished some one to show him around a little. Mr. Mote knows Crawfordsville well and being an obliging gentleman agreed to act as chaperon. When the two were in the north end the stranger asked Mr. Mote to change a dollar for him and Mr. Mote drew forth his purbe to comply with the request. As soon lis it appeared the stranged snatched it and ran away. As the purse contained over 820 Mr. Mote hustled around to police headquarters and lodged a complaint. He then started around with the oilicers in search of the robber and spent the night in this delectable occupation. At- o'clock next morning a young man wa6 arrested at tho Plum street station awaiting the east bound Big Four train and was identified by Mote as his assailant. Tho follow gave his name as Frank Moone, of Champaign, 111., and stated that he had stopped off here Tuesday to see a friend while on his way to Indianapolis. lie protested his innocence but was locked up in jail. He had about 815 on his person when arrested.

Coates College
IN
Desperate Straits.
Terre Haute Tribune: Within tho past few days, a number of suits, aggregating a considerable amount, have been filed against Coates College. It appears that this excellent institution has not been meeting running expenses, of late, and that the deficit is continually increasing.
Arrangements are hoped for, whereby its future usefulness will not be impaired. The attorneys who have brought the suits are having some difficulty in procuring service. Director H. P. Townsley is out of the city and S. C. Stimson, another director, is reported to have resigned."sw
