The second morning will be given up to runs to different points of interest, hill climbing etc. The afternoon will be devoted to racing. Special and valuable prizes have been offered for the parade and the limit for the races. Thousand of wheelmen from all over the State will will be present nn 1 a grand good time will be had. Everybody should be sure and take their whesl with them, as ample storage facilities have been arranged for. The hotels give special rates.

Quite a large delegation from Crawfordsville will go down.

Tribute.

Dora Ethel, daughter of George and Lizzie Mear.-, died July 25, 1S97, upon whoEe golden hair the silver sbeeu of only sixteen summers had fallen. Truly had it been said: "The stars have their time to set, the leaves to fall but thou O death hast all seasons for thine own." A few short years ago the death angel crossed this threshold and claimed for his own an idol boy, and now again with ruthless hand he numbers among his trophies this loved daughter, leaving only one child, Elsie, to cheer the hearts of the grief stricken parents. Why providence so dispenses we cannot understand. But must it not be sweet in childhood to give back the spirit to its Maker ere the heart has grown familiar with the paths of sin and sown to garner.up its bitter fruits. So let the stricken ones in this 6ad home tonight say with the Psalmist David, "I can go to him, but he cannot come to me."

The tlowers In tlio noon time will wither, The treasure we cherished decay. And our loved ones on earth we'd have linger,

Forever uro passing away.

Dora sleeps alone in her beauty. So still and white ne-ith the sod. But clad In the robes of the angels,

Her SDirlt is resting with God. A FRIEND.

David Strouse, as special agent for Parke county, Wednesday presented to Auditor White a bill from Parke against Montgomery county of 8640 55. This was for coudty costs incurred in half a dozen cases sent there from here on change of venue. Auditor White did not pay the bill, as under the law, all such accounts must first be allowed by the County Commissioners.

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.

lterry Viekers Should lteari tlio I.aw Helore Starting: Out in Ouest of Fruit,

Now that blackberries are ripe and foragers are going out of the city every day by the buggy load, it might bo well for them to know that it is a misdemeanor to go on another's premises to gather berries without the consent of the owner or occupant of the land. Read tne statutes, 1S!H. Sec. 2017, revised statuses, 1S9I: "Whosoever unlawfully enters upon the lands of another and severs from the soil any product of fruit growing thereon, the property of another, of the value of ten cents or upwards or shall sever from any building, or from any gate, fence or other railing, or enclosure, the property thereof, of the like value upon the eonviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail for not less than six months."

\Vliut FislibaeU Think*.

In Wednesday's Chicago Iiccortl Mr. W. O. Fishback has an interesting study of the Indiana Senatorial con test. In the course of his article Mr. Fishback says: "It has been said that Gov. Mount, whose home is in the same county as is Gen. Wallace'p, would not be a candidate so long as the General is in the field. This is a mistake. As a matter of fact, it has been gossip that the announcement of Gen Wallace's candidacy this early was to forestall Gov Mouut. There is no open break in the relatiorsof the two ruen, but it is a fact that there is no cordiality. "It is very well understood that, as matters stand now, Senator Fairbanks wants the Governor to be his colleague in the Senate The Senator hasn't forgotten that Wallace came into the race last winter v\iili no hope of election, but to Lelp his election in 1S9S, which fact is now frankly admitted by his friends. His appearance in the race last winter, however, tended to lessen Fairbank's lead over McKeen. "As to McKeen's intention in regard to the contest next year nothing is positively known. When lie was defeated by Fairbanks he said he would not again malgs the race."

The .leer of the Jealous.

Frankfort Crcsccut: Those base ball cranks who had intended going to Crawfordsville to-morrow to see the Cincinnati Reds wipe up the earth with the team from the Athens of Hoosierdom, can do as the reds did—cancel the date. The Reds evidently didn't care to take chances on being arrested for cruelty to children, and therefore cancelled their game with the Crawfordsville team, which, had the game been played, jvould have stood about as much show for life as a snowllaue at the equator.

Noah Clod feller's Nerve.

Wabash Tribune: Noah Clodfelter's nerve is to be admired. For years has he nursed his darling project of uniting- the cities of the gas belt with an electric car line. He has persevered in the face of all opposition and disappointment, and now that the work has been stopped because of a lack of funds, he still keeps a stiff upper lip and never for a moment relinquishes his pet design. Such men as Noah Clodfelter are bound to win in the end.

Tlu» Kehpse.

The perfect weather of yesterday gave all who desired it an ample opportunity to observe the partial eclipse of the sun. Smoked glass was utilized and the sight presented was a very pretty one. Hicks' hot weather failed to arrive on schedule time, however, showing that the old man has not yet acquired in his weather prognostications the accuracy evidenced by the astronomers. .,

A Small lila/.e.

The gasoline engine in the hardware store of Voris «fc Cox was being cleaned about 1 o'clock jesterday when a small boy standing by evidenced his intellectuality by striking a match. An explosion followed and the whole back room was 6oon in a bla/.e. An alarm of fire was turned in but before the department arrived the blaze had been extinguished. The loss was merely nominal.

AH Anniversary.

One year ago yesterday occurred the terrible rain storm which will be so well remembered by all residents of Crawfordsville. The greatest catastrophe attending this unprecedented storm was the Vandalia wreck by which three men lost their lives-

Will Go For Gold.

Charley Robinson, of the American Express Company,is preparing to leave for the Pacific slope. He expects to winter there and leave early in the spring for the Klondike gold fields.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

VI lOiiwanis Urn,l ti Handful of Onions ami (Jets Into the County Jail.

A1 Edwards would better look a littie to his reputation or folks will begin to believe that he is bad medicire. On Monday he playfully chopped off the car of his cherished brother-in-law, Rube l'otter, and Wednesday he was put in jail for stealing onions. It seems that Mr. Edwards went out in the country Wednesday to renovate some feather beds. As Mr. Potter's ear is still troubling him he was unable to go, so Edwards took his nephew along." They started homo in the eveuing and when they reached the Vanhook farm, a mile west of town, they climbed the fence into the garden and gathered some beets and onions. Their predatory act was witnessed by Alonzo Caven, who rents the farm, and he, following them into town, had them both arrested. They were taken to jail and there remained until yester day when they were released on their own recognizanqe. Caven states that so long as they behave themselves he will not prosecute the case.

Granted a Divorce.

Chicago Chrmiiclc: Judge Horton yesterday granted a divorce to Alethea Luse Underwood from Sidney F. Underwaod on the ground of desertion. No alimony was asked, but the plaintiff was given the custody of their five-year-old daughter, Edith Margaret Underwood. Mrs. Underwood is the daughter of former President Luse of the typefounders' firm of Mardar, Luse & Co. Syice her husband left her she took up her residence with John Marder, '1750 Woodlawn avenue, who was her father's former business partner. Sidney F. Underwood, she said, is now in the employ of Viles & Robbins, packers, and has an interest in the business. Mrs. Underwood is a membar of the company of Roland Reed and Isador Rush, her stage name being Alethea Luse. She will continue iu the profession and will leave her child with relatives in ^Vashington City to be educated.

Fishing is Kxeellent.

Bass fishing iu Sugar Creek is reported as excellent and scores of people are out now every day trying their luck. Some phenomenal catches have been reported. The fish commissioner is expected to be here now in a few days to investigate the case of the seiners.

Came in to See tlio Game.

In 6pite of the fact that the cancellation of the Cincinnati game had been well circulated some people failed to hear of it and quite a number came in yesterday to see it. One wagon load of young men came in from four miles south of Ladoga.

OH'For Alaska.
