Uicyele Meet Talked Of.

The local wheelmen are discussing the propriety of another bicycle meet to be held here. The meet will be all right, but it would, perhaps, be advisable to avoid the conilict with Baccalaureate Sunday which occurred last year.

Graduating Kxereises.

The graduating exercises of the third section of Union township occurred last Friday at Roberts Chapel. A large crowd was in attendance and much interest was manifested. The first place was awarded to Anna Long and the second to Eliza Murdock. They will represent the third section at the township contest."

Klwood Coining,

The Elwood commandery of the Knights of St. John has written that it will be here in full force on July 4 and 5. The commandery will not come alone either but will be accompanied by a large company of cadets and a brass band. There is now talk of offering a prize for the best drilled cadet company, there being several such organizations in the State.

Divorce Granted.

Judge Harney opened his heart last Saturday and granted Faniiie Carlisle a divorce from the the wholly reprehensible David Carlisle to whom she had been linked in the holy bonds of matrimony for a coon's age. David did not come to court to see his character as a husband knocked in the head with the stuffed club of stern juBtice.

Distressing Accident.

Last Friday about 8 o'clock quite a distressing accident occurred at the residence of Grant Gould, on west Wabash avenue. Mrs. Gould was washing and her two-year-old son, Fleet, was playing under the table. Mrs. Gould accidentally upset a pan of hot 6tarch and it fell upon the head and shoulders of the child, inflicting some terrible scalds. Medical aid was hastily summoned and the painful injuries were dressed. The child will probably

(.'handed His Residence.

W. II. Raymond, of I'assde:ia, California, in renewing his subscription to the JOUHNAI, writes: "You will please notice by the date line of this letter that we have changed our place of residence, having traded our Pasadena property of two lots and a 12 room house for a ten acre fruit ranch in the city of Orange, Orange county, Ca!.. about 35 miles south-cast of Pasadena, a small county but one of the b.-st counties in California, not a dollar in debt and over §40,000 ahead. Inconsequence taxes are low, water is plenty and the soil of the very best. My ten acres are of the gravelly sort, very strong and rich and always frostless. The plot of this ranch I will enclose so you may see what is on it, letters and figures referring to the fruit trees, shrubs and flowers. It is only one half mile from the postollice and is said to be the model ranch of the city of Orange. The prica of this placa wasS10,000. My place at Pasadena was traded in at SS,000. There is much more that would be said of the place but perhaps it would wear you out to read."

An Invitation.

To the Editor of the Journal. The following invitations have been sent out from Ladoga:

LADOGA, Ind., May 10, 1S97.—The Baptist churca and resident students have arranged to have a reunion of the Old Ladoga Seminary on Thurslay, June 3d, 1S!7. Come and renew the friendship ties of your school days. We will expect you but if for aii3* reason you cannot come please notify us by mail. By order of committee.

JOHN V. CARTKB, Chairman.

There seems to be some misunderstanding about the above invitation. It means all that ever attended the Seminary under Miss Emily A. W'llliatns, Profs. Bailey, Hill, Smith and Vawter, both male and female, and I have been authorized by the chairman of the committee to invite any that may have been missed. So this is your invitation. Be sure and go.

Very respectfully, H. M. BILLINGsi.Er.

A Highly l'rizecl Itelic.

Gen. and Mrs. Lew Wallace have presented Chas. H. Leech the desk that the General used in his practice in Crawfordsville. Mr. Leech will use the desk in his future practice in Chicago and of course highly prizes the ancient piecd of furniture for its distinguished associations. We publish General Wallace's letter of transmittal: "This desk was made to order in Crawfordsville about the year 1S55, and kept in continued use in my law office down to 1878, at which time I retired from practice. It was then moved to my study in our residence. A great deal of the composition of •'The Prince of India," and also copying of that work and "Ben-Hur" were done on it there. Allow me to hope you will find it serviceable for many years. Respectfully, LKW WALLACE.

The Pressed Hriek Company. The pressed buck factory north of the city, heretofore owned and operated by Martin & Son, has passed into the hands of a company, which will operate it in future* Mr. Halpin. an experienced pressed brick maker of Momence, 111., is here with a view to taking oharge of the plant. The new company is composed of Wm. Martin, Sr., Wm. K. Martin, Arch Martin, A. F. Ramsey, W. E. Nicholson, P. C. Somerville, A. E. Reynolds, I. A. Detchon, B. A. Archey, B. F. Crabbs, Myers Swan, W.

Address.

Speaking of the commencement of the Ladoga, high school the Lender pf that place says: "President Burroughs, of Wabash College, delivered a thoughtful, eloquent and impressive 1 'cture on "The Enrichment of Life Through Education," showing the va'ue of thorough training in the schools. Dr. Burroughs is a speaker who never fails to please Ladoga people, and his lecturc Wednesday niirht was unusually good. He always leaves an influence that is benelloial and what he says is not soon forgotten

Keed Purr's Injuries.

Veedersburg A'cics: A letter from Reed Furr says that he is getting along all right and that it will take more than a throw of fifteen feet to kill him. He is not injured to any extent internally though his collar bone was broken. The mare, Ora Audrian, was not injured and is ready for another race. Reed is able to ride some. The Cincinnati Enquirer in speaking of it says it was a miracle that Furr was not killed outright. He is highly spoken of as one of the best riders on the Newport race track.

Memorial Day at laee.

Hon. M. D. While will deliver the address on Memorial Day at Mace. The exercises will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The committees on decoration will visit the following cemeteries during the fore noon and decorate the graves of soldiers therein buried: Shiloh, Union, Oliver's and the two at Mace, live in all. The exercises at Mace in the afternoon will consist of music, recitations and an address.

Died.

Charles Hall,aged 19 years,died Monday morning at his home, 9 miles west of the city. He was a son of Wm Hall, who was killed near Wallace several years ago.

A Windy ISoast.

Covington Friend: The base ball season is now at hand. If Covington intends organizing a club it is high time to be at it. There is certainly material here for a first class nine, one that could mop the earth with Attica, Veedersburg, Cayuga, Hillsboro, Crawfordsville. Base ball is one of the finest of out door sports and we hope to see a few games played here this season.

Tunis Sheep llreeders' Association. The American Tunis Sheep Breeders' Association will hold their annual meeting in the small court room in this city on Thursday. June 3. Governor Mount has promised to be present on that occasion and the meeting promises to be one of more than ordinary interest.

UomThed.

The convention of the State Funeral Directors' Association came to an end in Indianapolis last week. G. W. Carver, of this city, was elected vice-presi-dent, and D. C. Barnhill secretary and treasurer. The bestowal of two offices on one city is unusual and complimentary.

ItfeCahe as Chief Justice.

The May term of the Supreme and Appellate Courts begun last Mondays at which time Judge McCabe succeeded Judge Jordan as chief justice of the Supreme Court and Judge Wiley became chief justice of the Appellate Court, succeeding Judge Comstock.

l'unerai of Col. D. N. Heath. The funeral of Col. D. N. Heath occurred last Saturday and was attended by a large number of his friends. Revs. Leech, Thomson, Greece and Switzer conducted the services, after which the interment took place at Oak Hill cemetery.

HKKFC is a diamond, here a piece of charcoal. Both carbon yet between them stand the mightiest of magicians —Nature. The food on your table, and your own body elementally the same yet between the two stands the digestion, the arbiter of growth or decline, life or death.

We cannot make a diamond we cannot make flesh, blood and bone. No. But by maans of the Shaker Digestive Cordial we can enable the stomach to digest food which would otherwise ferment and poison the system. In all forms of dyspepsia and incipient consumption, with weakness, loss of flesh, thin blood, nervous prostration the Cordial is the successful remedy. Taken with food it relieves at once. It nourishes, and assists nature to nourish. A trial bottle—enough to show its merit—10 cents.

LAXOI. is the best medicine for chil dren. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil.
