THE ONLY.

11 spucts For the CrawfortlsvUlo Are of the Most Kneouruging Character.

Fail

The management of the Crawfordsville fair is eminently pleased with tho outlook in all directions. The attendance promises to be unprecedented, forj while times are prosperous with the farmer this year, there have been very few gatherings of any character and it is expected by all to have a sort of a grand rally at the great Crawfordsville fair

There will be fine exhibits in all departments and each days mail is loaded down with letters of entry. The visits of Secretary Morgan and others to the various, fairs have been productive of good results and some splendid exhibits of fine stock of all kinds have been sectired.

The ctatries for the speed ring: closed, Monday. A large number of .entries have been received and it looks as though every race would be filled. Some of them will be especially warm and interesting as some very speedy blood is entered. Several horses of unusual merit and fame are entered and there will be a pleasant surprise for lovers of good sport when they are announced. Wilbtr Cooley will act as starter in the races, as usual.

Death of airs. Mary B. Click. Mary B. Click, wife of Harry N. Click, and daughter of Joseph and Lydia A. Thomas, died at the home of her parents near Elizaville, Boone county, Ind Aug. 17, 1897, after a lingering illness,. the effect of the grip. Deceased was born in Crawfordsville. Jan. 25, lS^G, and lived most of her life in or near Crawfordsville. She was married Feb. 14, 1897, to Harry N. Click, who, with father, mother, sister, two brothers and hosts of friends are left to mourn her loss. She was a correspondent of the JOURNAL for quite a while from Garfield, and also from North Union until she moved from the county. She joined the Christian church at the age of 14 years and remained a member until death, and though her suffering was intense she was patient and resigned to the will of God, even glad to go, praising God to the last. She gave directions concerning her burial, selecting the songs to be sung, which were "Asleep in Jesus" and "We'll Never Say Good Bye in Heaven." Funeral services were conducted at the home by Eld. A. J. Frank from Rev. 14:13: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord," after which the remains were laid to rest at Union near Lebanon, there to sleep till the final resurrection morn. viwJ. T.

An Interesting Paper.

A final paper made up from the journals of the late E. J. Glave will appear in the September Centaury under the title of "Crueltj in the Congo Free State." Mr. Glave was sent to Africa to investigate the slave trade for the Century, and he successfully crossed the continent on to die at the mouth of the Congo. In Mr. Glave's diaries were found many references to cruelties practised in the name of the Congo Free State by its soldiers and the Arabs in its employ. The article will have many illustrations from photographs.

WORK FOR THE CONVICTS-

\Var«len Ilarley anil Governor Mount, Discuss the Blatter.

Warden Harley and the board of control of the prison north conferred with the warden recently, the most serious problem presented being the necessity of finding work for the prisoners.

Thirty-three per cent, only are employed, and with the coming of October outdoor work must cease. The warden is dreading the approach of winter, because the anti-prison labor law necessitates enforced idleness.

Last April many of the convicts were confined in their cells during the entire month, and whenever Mr. Harley passed he found them gripping the bars and exclaiming: "My God, warden, give me something to do or I'll lose my mind."

The warden reported that he could furnish work if he had money with which to buy raw material, as he could set the convicts to making shoes, but the last Legislature, when it interdicted prison manufacturing, made no provision for an appropriation for such purposes.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

All Is In lieariiiiesH for the Gathering of the County Teachers llere Next Week.

The Montgomery Cotinty Teachers' Institute will be held in the court room, Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, inclusive. Prof. G. F. Kenaston, of Crawfordsville, and State Librarian W. E. Henry, of Indianapolis, will each take up certain lines of work and continue them through the week. Prof. Milford will assist Wednesday and Thursday. Prof. W. E. M. Browne, of New Castle, will give methods c-f teaching vocal music. He will use Ganivoort's Music Reader. Every teacher expecting to teach in the county should be present at every lecture. Trustees are urged to be present on Wednesday and help organize the township institutes.

State Superintendent, David M. Geetmg, will be present on Monday. Visitors are invited to all these meetings.

The institute gives every promise of being a most successful one for not only are the instructors of unusual merit and high reputation but the new methods taken to secure a full attendance at every lecture are calculated to be of benefit.

K. of P. District Meeting.

An important Pythian meeting will be held at Indianapolis, Aug. 30. The Grand Lodge officers and the deputy Grand Chancellors of the 20 Pythian districts of the State will meet to arrange for holding the district meetings, twenty of which will be held between October and June of next year. Many of the cities are now striving to secure these meetings, but none will be held in towns where there have been meetings within the past two years. This system 'of district meetings which was first started in this State three years ago, has proven to be a great benefit to the order and has been taken up by several other States.

A Dog Story.

in the summer of 1896 when John Muir, the explorer of Alaska and Sierra, and godfather of the Muir Glacier, came East to get ap honorary degree from Harvard, he delighted his friends in New York and Boston with a certain "dog story," the fame of which had preceded him. The editor of the Century has prevailed upon Mr. Muir to write out this tale and the hair-breadth escape—for such it is— will appear in the September number under the title "An Adventure With a Dog and a Glacier."

Will Move to Washington. Dr. and Mrs. E. R. LewiB will soon remove from Indianapolis to Washington, D. C., for permanent residence. Dr. Lewis has leased the house adjoining the well known McDonaldEllis school for girls, six squares north of the White House, and he and Mrs. Lewis will be associated with Miss McDonald in the school. Dr. Lewis will have charge of the business management and scientific, instruction, Mrs. Lewis of the home life of the girls and Miss McDonald will remain as principal.

John Peterson Reinstated.

John Peterson, of Linnsburg, has been reinstated as watchman in the Postoffice Department.at Washington, the position he occupied during the Harrison administration. The reinstatement came from Perry S. Heath, First Assistant Postmaster General, through the influence of Gen. Lew Wallace. Mr. Peterson was an old soldier, but he gave way to a Confederate when Cleveland came in.

Commercial College or the City Enjoying Hcitltliy HIIII I)es«rv«tl Growth,

The Commercial College of this city, under the highly efficient management of Prof. A. J. Hall, has just closed the most successful year in the career of the institution.

Ihe apartments are commodious and the reception room has been materially improved in appearance by a piano. The school is enjoya good healthy, steady growth, and as the demands for graduates, who are everywhere being tendered positions of responsibility and trust, will attest, the school is held in high regard by the country at large. The next term opens September 13 and those who desire information should write to or call on Prof. A. J. Hall.

A Jolly.

The Terre Haute Express says: "The Rev. Harry Newlacd Mount, son of Governor James A. Mount, and Miss Verda Hell, of Crawfordsville, will be married at the First Presbyterian church in that cityTuesday noon.September 7th. The young couple will go at once to a home of their own in Oxford, Ind., where Mr. Mount has a charge.

The country home bf the Governor is but twelve miles of Crawfordsville. The young minister attended Wabash College, graduating in '94,«and from there went to the theological school at Princeton, where he was graduated last spring. It was while he was in school at Wabash that he met Miss Bell, and the acquaintance gradually deepened and spread to more tender relations. Mr. Mount received a call to the church at Oxford as soon as he left the seminary, and has already made a reputation as a minister. He is well known here, having spoken in the Presbyterian church several times.

The prospective bride iB one of the fairest daughters of the "Athens of Indiana," and is prominently connected with the noted mission work begun among the poor of that city."
