A .Summer Institute for Trainmen. "W. J. Hartman," says the Kansas City Journal, "an expert railroad machinist, is carrying on what might by called a 'summer institute for trainmen,' and the public ought to be thankful to him, and appreciative of the efforts that are constantly being made to perfect the railway service of this country. Mr, Hartman has a special car fitted with all the new patent appliances of the modern train, especially the air brakes, and accommodations for a class of twelve. He travels over the lines of various roads, stops at section divisions and there gives his lessons. Railroad managers encourage his work, employes secure layoffs in order to take the complete course, and the certificates given those who prove especially apt are documents that prove of high value when promotions are under consideration. This is genuine civil service reform." Mr. Hartman now has his car on the Peoria division of the Big 'Four. He is a Crawfordsville production, is a printer and but for the fact that he had his hand badly lacerated in a job press he might have been here yet. A small circumstance sometimes turns the current of a man's life.

The Fatality of I fog1 Cholera. Prof. A. Biting, who was apnointed by Governor Mount to make an investigations of hog cholera in Indiana, completed his work several day ago. In his report he[says that 070,000 hogs were lost in the State during the year ending July 1st. They represent a loss of 30,000,000. The fatality, he says, is about 20 per cent, of the number of hogs raise. The fatality in some sections ran as high as 00 and 70 per cent. The lowest rate of fatality was in Steuben county and the highest rate in a Daviess county township, which was 70 per cent. The disease was the worst in the Wabash and White river valleys in the counties lying between them them. In his opinion the spread will be the greatest during the coming year. Eighty-seven per cent, of the fatalities for the year just closed were on grounds on which hogs died of the.disease the year preceding.
Farmers' Insurance Company. The Farmers' Fire Insurance company of Montgomery and Fountain counties met Tuesday afternoon in the small court room. The company is now entering upon its twenty-fir6t year of prosperity and growth and it carrying half a million dollars worth of insurance, having increased 8140,000 in the last year. The following officers were elected:
President—M. B. Waugh. Vice President—Albert Campbell. Secretary—W. J. Miles. Treasurer—J. M. Harshbarger. Directors—Henry Foster and J. W. Drollinger.
Governor Mount was present at the meeting and delivered a pleasing address on the importance and profit of local insurance companies. He held that Indiana would be millions of dollars better off financially if she did all her insuring in local companies.
Rights of rt Man Abused.
A well known man about town had a dispute with his mistress Tuesday night in the alley north of Main street and east of Green. Both were drunk and the man was bravely beating the helpless female when a policeman rushed up and hustled the woman off to jail. It is certainly a sad commentary on municipal government when matters come to such a pass that a man cannot be allowed to beat a woman in peace without having a policeman come up and carry her off to jail. The next thing we shall hear will probably be that they will arrest the man.

Governor Mount Says If County OlUcors Fail He Will Take a Hand. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. ol. Governor Mount, in speaking last evening of tho recent Avliitecap outrages in Brown and Monroe counties, said: "The law on tho subject is ample. As has been stated, I have called the attention of tho prosecuting attorney of Monroe county to the newspaper reports of outrages. It is the duty of the local officers of tho law to enforce it. I take it that it would hardly be proper for me to step in and endeavor to enforce the law until there had been failure on the part ot the local officials to do their duty. I+' thoro should be failure on the part of the local officials to do their duty, I shall see that the good name of the state is vindicated. "Whitecapism will not bo tolerated while I am governor."

ALBERT C. vJBNINISQN, The Abstracter of Land Titles—Loans Money on Hortgages,
REAL ESTATE, INSURANCE AND RENTAL AGENT'^121 W EAST .. MAIN STREET, CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND.
(Has occupied the same office for 30 years continuously,)
SOMETHING ABOUT ABSTRACTS.
An abstract is a short or condensed history of the title to land consisting of a summary ol the conveyances o£ every kiua as well as a complete statement of all Judgments, Mortgages, cuarges una liens of every kiua affecting thp title of tne tame.
It is usually arranged in order of time and should show euoutrh to irive the origin, course and meutcutb of the title uituout Uie necessity of e\aminintr original records.
I Within recent years the best business methods require Abstracts of Title in ail real esiaie^irausactions. /l'his demand has called for a class of skilled and trained Abstracters and cooveyaucers witn special qualifications for ttieir work.
During earlier years liiue attention was paid to the title of real estate the purcUaser relying altogether on the "Warranty" deed. I—iBut, owing to tne increased values of land, complications of business, easy moihodb of transfer, numerous kinds of liens, absessmeuts and judgments wnich may now eifect the title, no careful man will purchase property without an aostract showi .g the condition of the title. .Judge Flandrau, of Minnesota, says: "The person preparing an abstract must understand fully all laws of conveyancing and inheritances, uses, trusts, and demises, and in fact all law that can effect real estate, either by operation of law or oy act of parties."
Dtjoa ,-ood abstracter must be possessed of the requisite skill and knowledge, a .,: must use due and ordinary care in hia work of preparing abstracts olj]titles, and it has been decided by a high court that for a failure to bhow all the title and any of the existing liens on record the abstracter is liable in damages to the party injured.
Anyone can try tp make an Abstract but what are they worth especially when made by irresponsible parties? An imperfect aostract is misleading and worse than no abstract.
In addition to the above requirements, it is a great help and saves liability to mistake to have had the experience as a laud surveyor aud engineer, as well ah a large acquaintance with the real estate and people of the county, all of which 1 claim to have without boasting.
Beginning as far back as 1S76, without any help in the way of books, he has been in the business continually since, and has had the best abstract clerks in his employ, and after years of work aDd thousands of dollars of expense, has prepared a set of abstract books and helps, memoranda, notes, etc., which contain a copy ot every recorded deed for every lot or tract of land in the County ot Montgomery, Indiana, aud are so valuable that they have to be kept in a fire proof safe. besides the deeds he has a reference to every unsatisfied mortgage in the county, as well a6 ditch aud mechanics' liens and tax sales. So he can truly say that he has the best set of abstract books in the county, and can tell any one more about their land in less time than any one else cau.
All interested are cordially invited to call at his office and examine his unrivaled facilities for abstract work. Conveyancers and others can get any description of any tract of laud or lot of record.
Not claiming to be infallible, for we all make mistakes, Jenni6on can say that no one has yet suffered any damage by relying on his abstracts of title. Having ready access to every description of land, my office is the best place to have deeds, mortgages, leases, etc., executed as well as Abstracts of Title
Two (2) Notaries in the office. Reference is made by permission to any of the banks of Crawfordsville or any responsible firms
Your patronage is respectfully solicited. Very truly yours for good service at the uid stand, AL15ERT C. .1EXXISON, Crawfordsville, Ind.
TO INVESTORS.
In connection with the Abstract business 1 have unusual facilities for placing money at interest, making investments for parties who have money to loan.
I have made loans for many years and have had the good fortune to have lost nothing for my clients, who have trusted their money in my hands for investments.
An application is taken, giving full description of the property, rental value, kind of improvement.1-, etc. An appraisement is ke i, by at least two good men acquainted in the neighborhood. An abstract is prepared showing the title, and in addition an affidavit of the owner of '..he propertv as to his ownership, and condition of the property. So every prec iut^on is taken to insure a safe investment.
Money to loan on good 1 arm Property on favorable terms of payment. Heal estate of all kinds for sale.
Respectfully yours,
M'CLURE & GRAHAM.
