THE GOLDEN RULE.

WILL SURE BE HERE.

Tho Cincinnati Hall Cluh Will Play in 1 rawlordsville on Thursday.,Inly *-M.

The Cincinnati base ball team of tlie National League, and the prospective pennant winners, will play the Y. M. C. A. team in Crawfordsville on Thursday afternoon. July 29. The contract was made on Tuesday and the people of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county will have the opportunity to witness the playing of the most popular and high priced club of ball players in the world. The Cincinnati players are noted for their gentlemanly conduct, their wonderful playing and their high salaries, and just to see them in a practice game will be worth the price of admission.

They have two days oft' next week and these will be used in giving exhibition games at Danville, 111., and Crawfordsville. Of course they will defeat the Y. M. C. A. team, but that organization will be materially stiffened for the occasion and a great effort will be made to get a man over the rubber. Charley Whittington will pitch the game and will enter upon a course of hard training at once.

The price of admission will bs fifty cents for men and twenty-five cents for ladies and it is expected that the college park will be packed for the oc casion. No such organization as the Cincinnati team ever struck the town before and it is not likely that any one will agaia for years.

Death of Nancy Wiiifjato.

Nancy Wingate, mother of John C. Wingate, died of lung trouble at 10 o'clock Monday morning. She had lived in Coal Creek township sixty-one years. She was born in Post Town, Butler county, Ohio. April L'9, ISiiO. She is the last of Christian Coon's family to the third generation except her sons, John and George C. Coons, of Elizabeth, N. J. She was the mother of five children and now leaves her son John without father, mother, brother, sister or child. The funerai was held at Wingate Wednesday at 3 p. m. conducted by Dr. J. H. Cissel. Mrs. Wingate came to Coal Creek township with her family Oct. 8, 1936 settling one mile north of Wingate, then Pleasant Hill, near which place she has since lived. Her husband Wm. A. Wingate, died January IS, 1S06, leaving her with four children the only one who survives her is John C., and it is a curious fact that the three children, two of whom lived to mature years, as well as the father, died in the same house where Mrs. Wingate died. Christian Coon was one of the early settlers and the first merchant in pleasant Hill, and was known far and wide as '"Old Zip Coon."'

Mrs. Wingate has been a patient sufferer for many years, having been an invalid nearly all the time since the death of her husband.

Thomas on College Hill and stole a pocketbook containing five dollars, the property of Miss May Culver, of Indianapolis, a guest of the family.

Newburyport Mass lYcii'.s: Rev. 11. C. Llovey, 1). 1)., of the old South church, has been granted a vacation by his parish in order to enable him to attend the meeting of the international geological congress, of which he is a member. The congress has about 1200 members.

Dr. llovey starts from New York on Saturday in the steamship Campania and expects to arrive in Liverpool in six days, the quickest passage made.

From Liverpool he will go to Berlin, thence to Moscow, where he will join the party.

He will be accompanied by his son, Dr. Edmund 0. Hovey, of New York. One of the great objects that the congress will try to settle at this meeting will be to establisn uniform nomenclature in geological matters all over the world, and to have a uniform method of classification for all countries.

On the arrival of the party at St. Petersburg the congress will be given a reception by the people of Russia. After the congress has finished its work an excursion will be made to the Ural mountains by a delegation of 200 picked men, of whom Dr. Hovey will be one.

On this trip the parly will inspect the gold, silver and copper mines, and other places that will assist them in their scientific work. From there they will go to Pari6 and make an tion of the caves in France.

Dr. Hovey has received ment from the Scicniijit: their representative and correspondent during the trip

The whole expense of the trip after the party leave Moscow will be borne by the llut-s an government.

Dr. Hovey has received his pass and credentials. At a meeting of the church last evening Dr. Hovey gave a brief description of the trip. He will be away about three months. Every one wishes the reverend gentleman a most enjoyable trip.-

Weekly Crop Jlnlletin.

The weather conditions during the week were very favorable to the growing crops, harvesting and other farm work cooler weather prevailed, and numerous local rains fell the latter interfered with the curing of hay in localities and delayed threshing, as farmers wish to secure their hay crops before threshing. Corn is growing wonderfully rapid it is "laid by" and stands well and high in clean fields, with a freoh, green color, and promises a good crop the early planted corn is tasselling. Wheat is all in shock, and threshing progresses everywhere in the southern and central portions and in many localities of the northern portion. Rye and barley threshing continued: all the crops are very good in quality as well as quantity: many correspondents say: "There were never such abundant crops for years." The oats harvest progresses in the southern portion, and the crop is in shock in many counties: the yield and quality are good, but the straw is short. Timothy, clover and grass haying continued in most localities the immense crops are secured and housed in fine condition millet is growing well with the rains. Tobacco is growing well in some fields in Switzerland county it stands somewhat uneven in the fields. Tomatoes and vegetables are in good condition. Late potatoes are growing well, but early potatoes are only a light yield. Young clover is growing nicely and beginning to bloom. Pasturage and stock are in good condition. The blackberry and raspberry crops are ripening and abundant and are being shipped in the southern portion. The apple crop promises to be fair in the southern half of the State, but not good in the northern. An abundant honey yield has been secured, and the bees are still at work in the white clover. Large and Jieavy hail destroyed corn and oats in fields about three miles in extent in the central portion of Benton county.

I horntown Itiisc I 111 Team Mutch I'm- the V. SI. A. Team

Is No

When the Thorntown base ball team took charge of tho mangled remains of the lamented Boosters some weeks ago they naturally concluded that all Crawfordsvilo talent was their meat. Accordingly they came down here Tuesday in their meal sack suits and curly hair resolved to annihilate the Y. M. C. A. team and take home a girl apiece, to say nothing of all the loose money in town.

The game was called at I o'clock ayd came to aclose somewhere along about S. It was a slow game and was not distinguished by anything like bril-\ lianey. In the second inning only did: tho visitors do anything and then by a series of scratch hits supplemented by errors they scored four runs. After that, however, they lapsed into a-hope-less, helpless mediocrity and were about as effective as a Crawfordsville city ordinance. Their pitcher was a husky lad named Burroughs. He hails from Shannondale and, being a school teacher, keeps his arm in form all the year around, lambasting refractory kids with a hickory gad in winter, and pitching hay, quoits and base ball in the summer. He threw a very speedy ball but was as wild as his precinct was when it heard tho news of the last election. His support was of the class of an 1882 egg, so that the Y. M.

C. A. people had about as easy a thing as they will have when they go against the Cincinnati Reds next week.
