LADOGA HOSPITALITY. MEMORIAL DAY.
Tho Approved Artiele Is Dispensed to the 1 ra\vforNviUr ninmaixU'ry ol Knights Templar.
Crawfordsville Commandery, No. 25, Knights Templar held its annual Ascension Day services and annual banquet at Ladoga last Friday, the Ladoga members of the order acting as hosts. Nearly one hundred Knights and ladies went down in a special coach in the afternoon and returned at night. Arriving at Ladoga the Knights in full regalia and escorted by the Ladoga band, proceeded to the Odd Fellows hall which was employed for reception purposes and where they were warmly welcomed by the Knights and ladies of
Ladoga. At four o'clock the body repaired to the M. 13. church where the solemn services of Ascension Day were observed. Rev. Dr. Ivey. pastor of the church, conducted the preliminary services and Rev. G. W. Switzer, of LaFayette, prelate of the commandery, delivered the address which was an earnest, polished and eloquent effort. Excellent music for the occasion was rendered by a sextette composed of W.
M. White, C. E. Lacey, Mrs. W. F. Ilulet, Misses Ora Moffett, Grace White and May Kline. At seven o'clock the banquet was served in the Masonic hall and it was a model one in both elaboration and service. The Bachelor Maids, of Ladoga, a coterie of very pretty girls, assisted the caterer and made the occasion all the more enjoyable. During the banquet some sweet music was discoursed by a guitar ahd mandolin orchestra. Following the banquet were the postprandial exercises, Eminent Commander J. C. Wicker officiating gracefully as symposiarch. The programme of toasts was as follows: Invocation

Rev. G. W. Switzar also made some pertinent remarks and at ten o'clock the banqueters again repaired to the Odd Fellows hall were an excellent musical programme was carried out, and the time passed in social pleasures until the arrival of the night train put an end to one of the most enjoyable and successful of these annual gatherings.
The commandery is enthusiatic of the hospitable treatment accorded by the people of Ladoga. The every want of the visitors was solicitously studied and all thing's conducive to good cheer and comfort were dispensed. Hospitality is an art and with the people of Ladoga it is a fine art.
The Verdict.
Speaking of the vsrdict in she Dudley Young will ca&e the Greencastle Banner-Times says: "The jury arrived at a verdict at about 11 o'clock, but Judge McGregor went home about 10, and the verdict was therefore sealed and given to John S. Newgent, the foreman. It was read atl) o'clock Thursday morning in court and was as follows: "'We, the jury, find for the plaintiffs that Alfred D. Young was at the time he made the will and the codicils thereto attached, a person of unsound mind, and that the will and codicils should be set aside.' "The jury on the first ballot stood ten to two in favor of the plaintiffs, the opposition going over to the majority soon after that, not, however, until several ballots had been taken. A list of interrogatories submitted by the Jefendants' attorneys were all answered in the negative. Two of these interrogatories were the stumbling points and are what caused the dalay in the verdict. The case will be taken to the Supreme Court again by le defendants."
Keel Ket ui-ns.
Addison Oleander Reed, of Ethiopian extraction, is again on his native heath. Foot sore and duly repentant he landed in town Saturday night from West Baden Springs where he has been sojourning. Some time ago Addison skipped for parts unknown and it is claimed, took a dusky belle along, leaving his wife to hustle for herself. Like the traditional cat, however, he came back. Whether or not the deserted wife welcomed his home coming with joy and gladness it is not known. But such must have been the case for no riot call has as yet been turned into the police headquarters from that vicinity.
'Dr. Stout's Case.
The trial of Dr. W. R. Stout, of Covington, charged with being an accessory to a criminal operation upon Grace McClainrock, has been postponed in the Parke county court until the September term.-
,\ (Jraletul IVople Pay Loving Tribute In llu Nation's Dead.
The memory of those heroes who gave up their lives that this nation might live was again honored Saturday. Nature seemed to join with a grateful people in pa5Ting tribute to the dead. The day was an ideal one. The morning was spent by the various committees in visiting the different cemeteries where the graves of the fallen comrades were decorated.
At 1:150 in the afternoon the parade formed in front of the l'ost headquarters. The ordrr of the parade was as follows:
Squad of police. Band Mayor and city officials. Scioto Tribe, No. 100, I. O II. M. Uniform Rank Knights of St. John McPherson Post No. 7 The column formed promptly at the appointed time and'at 1:45 p. m. moved west from Washington street to Grant avenue, thence north to Main street From Main street the procession moved east to Green, then south on Green to Music Ilall.
All the business houses of the city and especially those along the line of march were profusely decorated with bunting and flags and presented beautiful appearance. The procession as it moved majestic illy through the streets was one of grandeur and one which inspired every citizen with a new patriotism.
Upon the conclusion of the parade the vast crowd assembled in Music ifall. The spacious edifice had been artistically decorated for the occasion with flowers and (lags and presented a pretty scene. The exercises were commenced witu a selection by the band, which was followed by a salute to the dead by McPherson Post. After music by the quartette the Rev. A. J. Alexander, of Center church., offered prayer. I'pou the conclusion of "Sleep. Comrade Sleep" by the quartette, General Lew Wallace advanced to the speaker's stand and in a few well chosen remarks introduced the speaker of the day, the lion. Marmaduke B. Bowden, of Louisville, Ky.
Mr. Bowden, who is a powerful and pleasing orator, b°gan his speech with a ouestioning of Lord Lytton's statement, "The pen is mightier than the sword," and after a brief reference to the influence of literature upon nations reached his climax iu a eulogy of Indiana's 6ons, James Whitcomb Rilev and Gen. Lew Wallace. Then taking as his text the words from "Ben-Hur," "They may reduce Judea as an almond broken with hammers, and devour Jerusalem, which is the oil and sweetness thereof, yet the glory of the men of Israel will remain a light in the heavens overhead," he applied them to America and rapidly sketched the growth of the United States, named the leaders in this development and then devoted himself to
1
the mighty
host who followed them, paying his respects to "those, the living and the dead, whose courage and sacrifices secured to us this priceless heritage of freedom and glory," and passing to a review of the nation's victories. Alluding to L:ose gained in war, he then led up to those won in peace and declared that "the triumphs of the Cusars are cheap and vulgar" when compared to the conduct of the Union soldiers who after the late war "laid down their arms without disorder and quietly returned their homes to begin anew the course they had pursued ere the nation's peril caused them to buckle on their swords." He followed this with a eulogy of the conduct of the Confederate solders who had "fought a good fight and in the best of faith accepted the result and thenceforth devoted themselves to their country and their country's flag." Tracing the development of the New South, which he declared to be "the legitimate offspring of the old." he pointed out the hardships the Southern people had undergone and their steadfast adherence the Union ever since the war closed and then appealed to the justice of the Northern soldiers for an acknowldgment of "the prowess and virtues of those who wore the gray" and for the exchange of confidence and affection between the sections that would render us one people in sentiment as well as in territory. Hetilosed with the declaration that while the constitution declared for a more perfect union of the States, the perfect union is one of American hearts and that this union had "already crossed the threshold" and the people of the North and South alike were to-day "with a touch impartially tender," wreathing in flowers the graves of those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray, and mingling with the flowers tears of grief for the dead and gratitude for the blessings God has showered upon the land.
Dan Simms to Talk.
Covington Friend: Dan W. Simms has accepted an invitation to twist the eagle's tail and make that proud bird soar aloft and scream at the Fourth of July celebration at Meharry's Grove. Those who attend the celebration may count on hearing a splendid speech, for Mr. Simms has the reputation of making no other kind.

The relations between the Unptist church of Crawfordsville and the Buptist church of Covington are strained, and the Covington church stsiudsan excellent chance of being expelled from the Association unless it rescinds the action of its council of last Thursday and apologizes to Rev. 11. Trick and the Crawfordsville church.
The trouble has all grown out of that disgraceful Spainhower affair Kev." Spainhower, pastor of the Covington church, was arrested some time ago for the criminal libel of Miss Deb bie Schutt, an estimable young lady of Covington, lie is now awaiting trial iu the circuit court. The charge in the court became also a charge in the church and after an irregular meeting engineered by Spainhower himself a council was called to try him ving to this irregularity most of the mem bers of the council called, including
President Stott, of Franklin College failed to respond. When they failed to show up Spainhower organized council of his own from the ranks of his personal friends and "rooters.' Miss Schutt refused to appear before this gang, and the pseudo couucil ex onerated Spainhower. censured Rev 11. I) Trick of this city, who refused to take part in the fake deliberations aud dually recommended that Miss Schutt be expelled from the church
Wlu-n the news of this outrage reached Cra" M-'lsville last week there was in-
tensi liitlign&tlon among the Baptist brethren and charges against the Coviugton church will be made before the Association. It is only fair to the Covington church to state that the officers, deacons and ma'iy of the leading members arc bitterly against Spainhower. Mr. Trick, when asked concerning the action of the bogus council, made the following statement: "On the 27th of May a council was supposed to have been called at Covington to investigate charges against Rev. J. R. Spainhower, Miss Debbie Schutt and others. At the time of thj couvcntion of the council it was decided that in view of the fact that there was not a majority of the menlber6 present, only out of 18, no action could be taken. Be it understood this council was called by a packed house and with no consideration for Miss Schutt, as Rev. Spainhower said he was to be tried and he was the one to be satisfied with the council. He placed on the council as many of his personal friends as prudence dictated. In the meantime Rev. Spainhower invited quite a number of his personal friends to be present at the delibratious of the couucil. At the opening of the meeting, before the former council was ruled out, these brethren were invited to sit in council. When it was determined that the original council was ruled out, Rev. Spainhower called the church to order and there and then made a council, by means of his packed house, of those of the former council present and the visiting brethren. From this council 1 withdrew This council, representing the churches of Waynetown, Newtown, Attica, Bethel and Mt. Carmel, sat on the case. Miss Schutt, through her representative, recognizing the composition of the council and the fact that all, or practically, the members dined with Rev. Spainhower, and having heard that certain members had passed an opinion in the case, withdrew from the council. She did not produce any testimony of any kind, stating that she had nothing to present to the council. The council then listened to the grievances of Jlev. Spainhower. The charge preferred was that Miss Schutt had caused the arrest of kev. Spainhower. One witness was placed upon the stand to corroborate this charge. The council then entered into secret session. In the meantime one of the representative of the Waynetown church, Brother Merrill, and by the wav one who did riot dine with Rev. Spainhower, withdrew from the deliberations of the council. The council after about twenty minutes' deliberation returned and rendered the findings as follows: 'As a council, we exhonerate Bro. J. R. Spainhower, pastor of the Covington Baptist church, and we censure Hro. Trick, pastor of the Baptist church of Crawfordsville, Ind.,asdis. posed to create divisions in the Christian church, and we recommend that the church exclude Miss Debbie

Schutt.
We also recommend that a full copy of the minutes and the recommendations of this council be written for the Covington church for Bro. J. R. Spainhower, for publication in the Baptist
and the local county papers.
By order of the council.' "From the testimony presented from what was Rev. Spainhower exonerated? For what was I censured? Was the the testimony sufficient for the recommendation of deposing Miss Schutt? These are questions for the brethren, in their calmer moments, to determine."

Jmirnnl:
The friends
ol" Gen. Lew Wallace have formally launched him as a candidate for the uited States Senate to succeed Senator Turpie, whose term expires in
S'.MI. The formal announcement was made by General Wallace's home paper, the Crawfordsville JouitNAi,, and the Republican press of the State bas very generally echoed the favorablo things there said about him At the last senatorial election the friends of General Wallace put forward his name during the labt three weeks before the session of the Legislature began aud he received seven or eight votes in the caucus. His friends did not make an active canvass and his name was put forward more for the purpose of making a begiuning for the next time than iu the hope of acquiring any great strength in the Legislature of 1807, which had been admittedly elected iu the interest of Mr. Fairbanks.
General Wallace's friends declare that ho cares for but one term iu the Senate. They would regard this as a fitting honor to round out a career that tias been great iu war, in diplomaco aud iu literature. In prosecuting his canvass they have laid out a different plan from that followed by Mr. Fairb^n^s, one that iu possibly not so certain of success, but one that requires much less time and labor. The Hepublican organization in 18 J0 fell into the hauds of Mr. Fairbanks quite naturally as being about the only Republican of first rank prominence left in the State, after General Harrison Mr, Fairbanks nursed the organization during the succeeding vears o?
Republican depression, and when Republican success came it was so thoroughly under his influence that it was an easy matter for his friends to control the legislative nomination and make him Senator. The friends of Wallace will not seek to control the organization, though they are upon friendly terms with it and are confident that while its influence will not be cast for their candidate it will not be used against him. Nor is it their intention to endeavor to make legislative nominations in his favor. They understand thoroughly his popularity with the people of the Statg ^n(| aro depending upon. it to oarry hiiu ummg'U- The idea b»s been suggested to them ot aslcing the State convention to nominate, and it iB possibly that this may be done, as it is pretty certala that the name of Wallace would add strength to the Republican campaign throughout the Statu.
As ytt General Wallace is the only Senatorial candidate announced, upon the Republican side. Of those who were in the race last winter Messrs. McKeen and Brownlee are permanently out, but ex-Representative J. F. Ilanly, of Williamsport, and Judge II. S. Taylor may be "candidates. Thero is much talk to the effect that Representative George W. Steele, of Marion, will be a candidate, and if he is he will probably be the leader of the field against Wallace. However, General Wallace's friends believe there is only ono man in the State, aside from General Harrison, who could give him any trouble. This is Governor Mount, who has ucquired popularity among the masses since he assumed office in January. However, Governor Mount would not for a moment consider running in opposition to Wallace. They are neighbors and close friends of years' standing, and Wallace was ono of the most powerful factors in Mount's political success. Their relations are such as to preclude the possibility of a clash. 'i'tie Democrats do not concede the election of 'l'urpie's successor to the Republicans. The next Legislature is still a thing of uncertainty. At the last session a legislative apportionment act was pasted and it was very carefully drawn to ket-p within the lines of the recent anti-gerrymander decisions of the Supreme Court. Another act was passed repealing the apportionment of 18Sj, the only one left upon the statute books by these decisions. Thus it is not likely that the new apportionment will be attacked in the courts, but it does not give the Republicans any particular advantage and the complexion of the Legislature will be determined by the result iu Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Evansville. TJiese three cities almost invariably go the same way in an election and they are very uncertain. There has already been much talk among the Democrats concerning \he senatorship, but all the various aspirants are waiting until Senator Turpie shall make some announcement of his intentions. With him out of the way, ex-Governor Matthews, John Gilbert Shanklin, of Evansville, and John W. Kern, of this city, will certainly be candidates. Shanklin will be a candidate anyhow and it is possible that all of them will be in the race whether Turpie chooses to stand as a candidate again or not. If they do the present Senator would have no chance whatever of winning. He has never had any hold upon the Democratic machine in Indiana and a very slight one upon the people. Indeed, nobody was more surprised at the prominence given to Senator Turpie in the councils of the silver crowd last summer than were the Democratic politicians from Indiana. When he is at home he lives the life of a recluse, sees hardly anyone and makes no effort to bo friendly with those whom he does see. He has no taste whatever for practical politics and is particularly unknown to the younger generation of Democratic political workers iu the State.
