Proves l« II ive Deen
Mr. MeMullen, the new proprietor of the Gilbert bakery, is giving that place a thorough overhauling preparatory t.o its re-opening. In cleaning out some of the old paraphernalia the other day a very interesting discovery was made. In every confectionary store there is what is known as "the candy stone." On this the candy is worked and made up aud it i6 usually kept scrupulously clean and neat. The candy stone found in the Gilbert bakery proved to have once known service as a tomb stoae and just how it found its way into the bakery is a mystery. It is inscribed as sacred to tjie memory of a member of one of the be6t known families in Montgomery county, who died October 22,

The Gas Pressure.
It is noted throughout the gas belt with great satisfaction that the gas pressure is no longer on the decrease, but is remaining steadily at from 220,000 to 235,000, having only decreased to these figures from 250,000 during the eleven years of its existence in Indiana. In Elwood the pressure remains 6teadily at 235,000, which gives strong hopes that the Indiana gas field has yet long years to live, despite the enormous consumption and the extravagant waste.

Daniel Flynn, an employe of the Alfrey mills at Jonesboro, Ark writes THE JOUKNAI, that they are having a big yellow fever scare at that place. Ben Warbinton and William Birch, of this city, are quarantined at their boarding hou?e and are not allowed to stick their noses out of doors. It appears that they came into Jonesboro from Memphis after quarantine had been declared against that place, and were at once placed in custody by the health officers.
Heimnnn Gets It.,.
Charles Whittington, administrator of the estate of Otto J. Zeiglar Tuesday sold the restaurant business of the estate to Charles Keimann. who until a few months ago was a partner in the concern. Mr. Reimann is one of the most experienced and successful caterers in Western Indiana, and the public is to be congratulated on his succession to the business. Mr. Reimann at once evidenced his hustling ability by opening up the place and serving dinner on Tuesday:

THE HORSE THIEF DETECTIVES.
(aovernor Mount Jollies tlui Organization
and Speaks of Its ICtliracy In IMin-
ishim* Criminals.
Indiadapolis A'lie.s: In discussing the llipley county lynching many persons are calling to mind the work of the Ilorse Thief Detective Associations of the State in ridding tho country districts of thieves of a'.l classes. Several years ago the Legislature enacted a law authorizing the incorporation of these associations, and the farmers of many counties have banded themselves together under that law. Governor Mount has been president of the Montgomery County Association since it was formed, and he regards the movement as one of the best ever started by the farmers of the State. Said he: '•I have been a member of a horse thief detective association for thirty years and I suppose it may be said I have been active in tho association. The association of which I am a member has done good work in running down crimals and securing their punishment. In the history of these associations, so far as I know, there has never been the least thought of mob violence- The object was to apprehend thieves who auuoyed the farmers and secure their punishment in the lawful way. Our members have always beeu cautioned to set their faces like flint against the thought of summary punishment."
The Governor recalls that for a time after the formation of these asssociations there wos objection to members of them acting as jurors but the courts, he bays, soon found that they made the best jurors, and of recent years the detectives have acted as members of grand aud petit juries. It was only a few years ago that the association of which the Governor is a member "run to earth" and secured the punishment of a gang of horse thieves that had headquarters in Ripiey county and operated throughout the central part of the State.,
FOSTER FOR NOVEMBER.
Tin? Well Known Weather Hreeder Fixes
I a Very Kocky'Programme
For the Month.
Brace yourself for November! Foster, the weather prophet, says the month comes in with the moon at first quarter, at the latter end of a Mercury period, and in the very midst of a reactionary storm disturbance. A wave of higher temperature, with falling barometer and autumnal rains will past eastwardly over the country from the 1st to 4th. Besides the rains early in the period, look for sleet and snow, followed closely by high northwesterly winds, and a cold wave. Frosty weather after the storm will prevail in all sections for three or four days. From the 6th to the 10th falls a period in which marked disturbances may be expected, turning to snow in many sections, and another cold wave. The crisis of this period will fall about the 9th and 10th. Two or three days of warm weather will then hold the boards, followed by more storm conditions about the 13th to 14th, including warm rains and thunder. After these storms, cold, frosty weather will prevail. A combination of causes center on the 24th, foretelling heavy and dangerous storms. The month closes with a change to warmer, and with renewed storm conditions. Upon tha whole, there are strong reasons to expect many hard storms and some rough, early winter iu November.
l''ree Rural Delivery.
A special from Muucie says: "Col. LI. Conquest Clarke, a special agent of the rural free delivery, of Washington, D. C., arrived here to-night to make the necessary arrangements for establishlishing four free delivery routes in Delaware county. Through the efforts of First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath, an increased appropriation has been made for the experimental service during the present year, and the thickly settled farming districts of Delaware county have been chosen to inaugurate the rural free delivery service. Starting from the four po6toffices of Daleville, Albany, Eaton and Selma, letter carriers will establish a daily free delivery and collection service over carefully selected routes, which will take in, as far as possible, every farmer or other resident within & radius of several miles from these points. The project was first put in practical operation under President Harrison by establishing free delivery in villages, but the appropriation allowed for this purpose was stopped under Cleveland's administration.

A LAMENTABLE AFFAIR.
Two of th
ostolllce Kui)loyes are A rrest- Isaac Slusser Oailj lit Del
ed ily I ns|tMtors on a Charge of
Kohlil ii£ I lie Mails. fe
l'o.stotlice inspectors Laurence Leathermati and Col. Moore on Wednesday arrested Will Sidener, stamping clerk at the Crawfordsville postollice, and Guy Steele, one of tho letter carriers, on a charge of robbing tho mails. For several week* letters containing small sums of money had disappeared, so the officials of the postal secret service set to work on the case. Leatherman and Moore camt here Monday and Tueoday night a decoy letter containing three one dollar bills and a silver half dollar arrived at tho postollice, It was gone when the carriers started out next morning and the stamping clerk, Mr. Sidenor, was at once charged by Inspector Leatherman with its peculation. He acknowledged taking it and turned over the marked money without diMnur. He then made a statement of the whole affair, implicating Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele was placed under arrest upon his return to the office after the morning delivery and he, too, acknowledged his participation in the deplorable business. The sums tuken were not large and the aggregate of the peculations does not amouut to a great deal. Perhaps, the mujority of the letters taken were addressed to the Tribe Ben-Uur. The Crawfordsville Building and Loan Association also missed a few letters. The bad business began shortly before Mr. Voris retired as postmaster aud continued until the detection. Both young men were greatly affected and expressed the utmost regret and remorse. They remained in the custody of the inspectors until the north bound Monon train arrived, when they were taken to Lafayette before United States Commissioner Wilber F. Severson.
While the offense would not be so great if committed against the State it becomes a very serious one when committed against the United States, and it is hardly possible that the boys will escape. Both of them have been exceedingly popular and in the perform ance of duty at the postoffice have been prompt and efficient. Only regret is heard concerning the affair and no one doubts that if the young men could be given another chance they would live above criticism in future.
At the postoffice some changes will occur. Charles Cadwallader, first substitute, steps into Mr. Steele's place and Ed Ivelley becomes first substitute carrier. This leaves vacant the positions of general delivery clerk, second substitute carrier and stamping clerk. These positions will not be filled until Mr. Bonuell hears from the result of the June civil service examination. In the meantime the present force will do double duty.
A Hitch in the Proceedings,
There is a hitch in the arrangements whereby the Mooon hoped to have possession of the Chicago & Southeastern by this time. An officer of the Monon says that it is only a question of time until the road has to be sold and that then it will pass into tho possession of the Monon. The Chicago & Southeastern would be a valuable feeder, and the Monon wants it badly, but Harry Crawford wants to see something in it for him. The plan to throw the road into the hands of a receiver and thus wipe out considerable of the indebtedness is off. It would take all the income to pay the debts, it is said, and Mr. Crawford would be left out in the cold, and this he does not propose to do. He will fight all attempts to place the road in charge of a receiver.
ICntertalned.
Mrs. and Mrs. Ike Jones entertained the folowing guests last Thursday for dinner. Mr. and Mrs George Greene and Mrs. Robert Greene, of Waynetown Elder Brooks and wife and sister, of Lafayette Mrs. Minnie Thompson, of New Richmond Mrs. Anna Walters, Miss Mary Campbell Mrs. LouisaQiatt, of Crawfordsville Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walters, Mrs. Walton and others. They all felt that it was good to be there.
The I«iiKt Day.
Tuesday was the last day allowed by law for the payment of taxes without the delinquent penalty. The treasurer's office was crowded all day long and an unusually large amount of money was taken in. The delinquent list will be small.
Tlie Kaln Fall.
Captain Talbot's register shows that two and a half inches of rain fell between Sunday noon and 0 o'clock Tuesday morning. This amount is largely in excess of the total amount falling during the months of August, September and October.

Special to ilic Journal. W,\ YNKTIUV.N, Nov. 13. Yesterday afternoon Isaac Slusser, a young man working for the Big Four on the section, while attempting to couple some cars while in motion met with a serious, though not uncommon accident, that of getting his hand and wrist caught between tho bumpers and so badly damaging the parts that made it necessary for Dr. llurt, the family physician, with the assistance of Doctors Bonnell and Claypool to amputate tho limb about three inches above the wrist. What would make it seem more unfortunate, it was his right arm.
Sunday School Xewn.
The Franklin township Sunday school convention at lvingsloy'B Chapel last Thursday was quite well attended Tho programme was carried out in full, the addresses being interesting and the discussions helpful.
Garfield Sunday school will observe Rally Day on Sunday, Nov. I I, beginning at 2:30 p. in. Quito an interesting programme has already been arranged.
The programme committee for Walnut township is busy arranging for their convention which occurs tho latter part of this month at Mace. Several speakers will be present from Crawfordsville. ,lt is the intention of the committee to make this the best convention ever held in the township. The schools in Walnut township are all doing nicely and will each have a good representation of delegates at the convention.
Coal Creek township will probably soon have a convention. Everyone seems anxious for it.
Tho official call for the world's third Sunday school convention has just reached us. It will be held at Loudon, England, July 11-10, 1803. Information concerning the same may be obtained by writing Mr. F. Jacobs, Atwood building, Chicago.
The Sunday school forces of Ripley towhsliip and Montgomery county will join on Friday, November 2lth, at Yountsville, and, instead of the Ripley township convention being held there alone, as was announced last week, the county convention will join in and make it a great day for Sunday schools in that part of the county. A strong programme will bo arranged in which the present needs of the Sunday school will be kept in mind and considered. Much time will be given to discussion. The date of this convention, Nov. 20th, will be the day after Thanksgivg, and with many persons it will be an off day, so that they can arrange to attend tho convention just as well as not. Arrangements will be made to call at the different Sunday schools in the city with conveyances. The fare, time of starting, etc., will be announced later in this paper.
Marion Lawrence 6ays in the last number of the Evangel,: "Look up, lift up, but never give up." "Keep your eye on Christmas and begin to plan for it right away." "Remember your pastor has rights in the Sunday school. They should be recognized." "A school that habitually begins one minute late will soon begin two minutes late." "No superintendent can do his best work who does not seek to know how others do their work." "Remember, your school will never do its best work without a teachers' meeting. If you have none now is the time to start one." "Everything else being equal, that Sunday school is best where most attention is paid to the little details." "Thanksgiving is a good time to have your school send out turkey dinners to some who otherwise would have nothing of tho sort. It will richly pay ou to make the effort." "We judge from tho printed matter sent to us, and from periodicals, that Rally Day has been observed this year more generally than ever before."
The Hest Vet.
There will be asocial at school No. 11, one mile west of Garfield, on Friday evening, Nov. 12. It will be the best one given this year. Rrgulation refreshments served. Co. M., 2d Ind. Reg., will be present. There will be a silent and a lightning drill, also single and double quartette music, with other specialties. Admission 10 cents. Inclemency of the weather on that evening will postpone it one week.
