CO. MEETS-

The Survivors of a Kemnaiit oT (lie Old Tentli Get Together at Jacob .Swank's.

Last FriJay at the home of Jacob Swank, four miles northwest of the city, Co. 15, 10th Indiana Volunteers, held its seventh annual reunion. Seven years ago the remnant of this company began for the Gist time to hold reunions, meeting at the residence of Comrade Swank. During that time but one of those who met with them on the first occason, is dead—a thing somewhat remarkable when taking into consideration the fact that so many of the veterans are dying. It was a typical October day, just such a one as thirty-five years ago, when the boys engaged in the memorable battle of Perryville. The house and yard presented a gala day appearance, being profusely decorated with flags and bunting: A tent erected in one corner of the yard, in front of which was a camp kettle hanging from three sticks and a stack of muskets, made an interesting and attractive object for the boys and especially their children. On the veranda was a large picture of Abraham Lincoln decorated with flags and surrounded in a semi-circle with large red, white and blue letters spelling the words, "Welcome Co. B." The veterans passed the forenoon in greeting each other and in a 6hort business meeting, at which oilicers were elected for the ensuing year and the place of the next reunion determined. "Bill" Stonebraker was continued as Colonel, he bi.ug such an excellent officer that it has been decided to let him act in that capacity during his natural life time without the usual condition to life tenancy in oflice of, "or during good behavior." Comrade Swank waB elected Adjutant, Gilbert Gray, Quartermaster, and Abe Switzer, Lieuten-ant.-Colonel. The roll was called, and out of an hundred members, only thirteen answered to their names. Whlie there are several more than that number alive, sickness and distance prevented their being present. At noon a bountiful repast was served. At the table where the members of Co. sat, a vacant chair was left in memory of Gen. M. D. Manson, who occupied that place at the Company's firtit reunion. After dinner the boys, while enjoying their cigars, made short speeches and told stories of army life. Comrade Harvey Tinsley, on behalf of Co. B, in a neat speech presented a beautiful flag to Comrade Swank aDd his wife as a token of their esteem and a memento of the occasion. Comrade Swank, with much feeling, expressed his thanks in behalf of himself and wife. Other speeches were made by Comrades Joe McDaniel, James Sanders, Win. F. Remleyand others. The meeting then adjourned, to meet a year hence at Comrade Abt Switzer's.

Kx-County C!erl Sued.

The c-:i-county clerks of the State will watch with interest the outcome of a suit brought the other day by Lebanon parties against Ex-county Clerk C. W. scott in the Boone circuit court. The complaint demands §105 for alleged over taxation of cost. The result depends upon the construction of the statute, should the courts look at it as the clerk did no recovery will be possible, otherwise there will be opportuity offered for such suits all over the State.

Mii-heal's Children.

C. M. Travis received wordf Friday from Prof. A. Ii. Graham, superintendant of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Ivnightstown, that the Board of Trustees had admitted the four small children of John Micheal, who was recently sent to prison north. The mother of these children is dead. They had been staying at our county Orphans' Home, and were sent by the G. A. R. and W. R. C. to Ivnightstown Saturday.

Gen. Wallace and Henry Campbell left for Riverside, on the Kankakee, Monday, where they will join Henry Wallace, who is floating down the river on the General's steamboat and houseboat.

"White Front Clot*

John Kelly has closed his White Front saloon. Mr. Kelly was forced to take this action on account of financial difficulty.

DON'T think because you are sick and nothing seems to give you relief that you can't be cured.

There must be a curejfor you somewhere. If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps he has mistaken the cause. Anybody is liable to make a mistake sometimes.

One in three of us suffer from indigestion, and one out of three dyspeptics doesn't know it. That is, he may knov. he iB sick, but he blames it to something else.

Indigestion is the cause of half of our dangerous diseases. Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from tonic medinal roots and herbs, is the most natural cure for indigestion. It relieves the symptoms and cures the disease gently, naturally, efficiently, giving fresh life, strenth aDd health to sick dyspeptics.

LET THE LADIES COME.

Additional Testimony From Prominent Kdueators In Favor of Co-Kdueatioii

To the Editor of The Journal. Apropos to the matter of co education at Wabash, a number of prominent educators fro different quarters render the following additional testimony favorable to it wherever tried. President Ketler, of Grove City College, Pen., which is a rapidly growing institution says: "I am strong in the conviction that co-education of the 6exes is better when earefully managed, than the education of either sex alone. I am sure it is best here."

President McClure, of Lake Forest, has this to say, sitce, both co-ordiuate and co-educational plans are in use. "In reply to your card let me say that Lake Forest University has a separate department for young women named its Seminary, and also a co-edu-cational college, so that young women one or the other according to their degree of preparation. Co education has been successful here."

So far as is known Lake Forest is unique in being the only college where both systems of co education are in use. It appears that co education proper begins in the Junior year.

President Fisher under date of the 22nd proximo writes as follows: "At Hanover conditions for all are the same. Age for admission to Freshmen not under 15 years."

The above has reference to age and class which ladies enter. When asked if, after their experience in co-educa-tion, a change were desirable at Hanover, he says: "No desire whatever to chaDge. Not even mentioned among us."

The above verdict appears to be universal wherever the test of co-educa-tion has been made.

The president's secretary at the University of Illinois in Champaign, writes: "In answer to your questions I send you a catalogue which will answer your Durpose."

In the catalogue we find that last year there were nearly two hundred women enrolled in the various classes. They are admitted upon the same terms as men. Twelve just graduated.

President Butler, of Irvington, replies as to terms of admission by saying:

'No distinction as regardb ce\ When asked if a change from co-edu-cation were desired, gives the decisve an emphatic "No."

Prof. W. B. Davis, a Wabash alumnus, last year a teacher in Blackburn University, but now connected with Carbondale Normal in Illinois, thus writes under date of the 22d: "Yours of the ISth just reached me. You will note that I am not now connected with Blackburn but am a member of the faculty of the Southern Normal University of this State. My college days in Wabash were spent in opposition to co-educa-tion, but ever since I have been in school work—since 1SS0—I have been convinced that it is the proper form of education. We had no difficulty with it in Blackburn: we had no difficulty with it in the high school work with which I have been connected, and on inquiring with those connected with the faculty here, I am told that in the twenty-three years of this institution's existence, it has been a success here. Hence I am in favor of co education for Wabash."

Dean Newbold, of the University of Pennsylvania, says: "We have had little opportunity at this university of observing the practical workings of co-education. Women are admitted to the undergraduate departments of biology and architecture and, under certain conditions, to that of chemistry, but the number of women availing themselves of this privilege has been inconsiderable as compared with the number of men. The graduate school is open to both men and women upon the same terms, but here, as in other departments, a very small proportion of the students are women. So far as my observation goes 1 cannot say that admission of women to the same classes as men is attended by any marked advantages or disadvantages to either sex."

The above is a rather indifferent sort of testimony upon the subject, growing probably out of the confessed "little opportunity" of observing its workings. This is given because we desire to set forth without reservation the varied opinions and judgments of a number of our prominent educators.

Principal W. A. Caldwell, of the Cherokee Male Seminary, at Tahlequah, I. T., writes as a membar of Wabash class of '88: "I severed my connection with Henry Kendall (College) a year ago, but can say in reply to your question that I think the coeducational system a desirable one, not only in Kendall but in every educational institution. There is an excellent spirit in the class room in the way of friendly emulation. The moral standard is higher. In short the young men are more manly men and the young ladies are more womanly women, than where the sexes are kept apart. We have a very clear demonstration of the fact here." Having had an excellent opportunity for ob

servation, and coming in touch as a teacher with our dusky youth, Principal Caldwell's 'evidence possesses weight.

President Bashford, of Ohio Wesleyan, has this to say under date of the 24th:

"1. The age at which we permit young people to enter the college, if scholastically prepared, is fifteen. I think that no young lady has entered here under sixteen years of age. "2. After an experience in an institution where men only were admitted, and in an institution where women only were admitted, and in an institution where both were admitted on equal terms, I am decidedly in favor of co-education. 1 would not change our present system if I could. Upon the contrary, if we hod not co-educa-cation I would put forth an earnest effort to secure it for the Ohio YVesleyan University."

The above testimony has considerable weight because President Bashford has personally given instruction in three colleges where different systems were in use, and his verdict is positive favoring co-education.

Seeking a second pen interview with Indiana University, President Swain gives the age at which ladies are admitted to the college as seventeen years. When asked if he wished a change from their present system, he yery decidedly and promptly replieB "no."

President Gobin, of DePauw, very gladly answers two inquiries as follows: "1. Young ladies are admitted to our institution when able to undertake the study of our academy. This is usually at from 14 to 10. "2. After our exserience with coeducation we would not return to the old planjfor any consideration. We are satisfied that co-education is as helpful to the young ladies as it is to the young gentlemen, and it is much more helpful to both than any other plan. A very wayward child of either sex would possibly be better off under a separate system, but with the average student we think our plan by far the best."

Prof. John II. McMillan, of Monmouth College, Illinois, has this to say: "You ask about co education. Monmouth College has had this feature from its organization nearly fifty years ago. We have had no reason to regret the plan. The girls compete with the boys in everything, and are able to hold ther own in the struggle. No evil effects have beeu noted so far as I know. Any particular points you may feel like asking about I shall be glad to answer as best I can."

We invite special attention to this testimony because of its half century experience. Fifty years is along time to test an educational system. If there be any marked evils resulting therefrom surely they ought to appear within that limit. It will also be remembered that Monmouth is the alma mater of the president of the Wabash board of trustees. Dr. Kane passed his collegiate experience where co-ed-ucation prevailed, and is therefore in a position to know of its merits.

ISarn ISnrned.

The barn of Mrs. Victoria Cox, two miles this side of Darlington, burned last Friday. Loss about S500, fully insured. The origin of the fire is unknown.

HOW TO FINI) OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours a sediment or settlement indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

IVII AT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention THE CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer.
