DR. STOUT'S CASE.

The llctrial of tin* Covin^t"" Sledieino Mini Will Take l'iaco In it Few Wueks.

Eyer since the disagreement of the jury in the case of Dr. Stout at Rockville, the attorneys for the State have been urging .Judge White to set the case down for a new trial. Thomas & VVhittington are in receipt of a letter from Judge White, in which he states that his docket is so full that he will be unable to reach th« case this term, but that he will, in all probability, hold an extra session between this and the February term to dispose of the cause. The trial will probably take place then, either the week before Christmas or early in .January. Mr. McClamrock is still pushing the prosecution and a great ell'ort will be made to secure a conviction.

Mi*s Italle Willi*

The following from the Ureencastle lltnincr-Tinwx concerns the marriage of a Crawfordsville girl, Mi.-,s Belle Willis, who with her mother, Mrs KUa Willis, has been residing recently at Greencastle: "In answer to a query upon the subject by a ISnnner-Tim-cx reporter, Will Grooms this forenoon stated that he and Miss Anibel Willis were united in the bonds of matrimony on Wednesday of last week at Paris, III. Mrs. Groorus is now visiting her father in

Missouri and the date lor her return has not yet been decided. Itumors of the marriage were out Sunday but no one was willing to state that it was a fact. Mrs Grooms has successfully escaped from the shower of congratulations that her husband is receiving but her turn will come when she returns, which will probably not 1)2 at a very distant date. !!oth young people are well known in this city, which has always been the home of the groom and the home of the bride for a num ber of months."

Will Stand Trial.

People who are laboring under the impression that Will Thompson will plead guilty to the charge of attempting to kill his wife, are mightily mis taken. The young man intends to stand trial and promises to make a lively and interesting defense, but does not state on just what grounds he hopes for an acquital. Under the ex isting law he cannot gain anything Uj pleading guilty and cannot lose anything by standing triai, the jury having power to give him only an indeterminate sentence in case of convic tion. As yet he has not been indicted but will be as soon as his wife, who is steadily improving, is adjudged to be out of all danger. He will be indicted for assault and battery with intent to commit murder. His father will stand by him in his fight for acquittal.

The business at the postofiice is said to be the business pulse of any town. This being the case business can safely be said to show a Wonderful improvement over last year in Crawfordsville. The receipts at the Crawfordsville postotlice for October, 1 SOT, show an increase of 23 per cent over the receipts of 1S90. That is good but the November showing is better. The receipts for November, 1S97. show an increase of 38iper cent over November, 1S9G.

TO NOMINATE A SENATOR.

MMitiiiM-nt l-'iiviiritif Ai inn 15y (IK? ConYcntion (irowni^-Nt'ccssiiy of a "IIWHI" to tlm Slate

Ticlwt,

Indianapolis Nars: It is the testimony of representatives of the Republican party from every section of the Stale that the sentiment in favor of the State convention nominating a candidate for I'nited States Senator is growing. Some of the best informed men who have to do with the management of the party have reached the conclusion that the convention will make a nomination. Several of the influential lie publican newspapers in the State have declared in favor of the plan. The argument being put forth is that the party needs a "head" for its ticket in an oil' year campaign. Ii is pointed out that the candidate for Secretary of State is seldom a mau thut possesses qualities as a leader, nor one that adds materially to the strength of the ticket. It is averred that with a candidate for Senator in the tield the party would be able, to arouse its followers

It is suggested, too. that as the money question will surely be an issue in the campaign, the Republicans could strengthen their position, by nominating a candidate for Senator committed to the principle of sound currency. The impression is that if Republicans take the lead in this matter. the Democrats will be bound to follow and the people of the State would then have an opportunity to choose between a candidate for United States Senator committed to a sound currency and one committed to free silver. It seems to be understood the county reorganization meetings, which will be held about the middle of January, will take up the .sut-j.jct, and men connected with the party organization say they will be surprised if most of the counties do not declare in favor of nominating a candidate for Senator in convention.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS.

Christmas is almost upon us, and, as every school will observe it in

KG

me

way it is high time if committees have not already been appointed that they be appointed at once. An excellent plan, and one that is fast coming into general use in our Sunday schools, is to make it a day of giving rather than receiving. The children are encouraged weeks before Christmas to hunt up all of their castaway toys the clothing that they have outgrown, etc., and to bring them to the church on Christmas eve. Then on Christmas day they are distirbuted by a committee to the poor members of the church and other poor of the town. We have seen whole wagon loads of food and clothing distributed in this way, and the children were much happier for the giving than they could possibly have been had they received presents themselves, c'

We are very glad to notice that many of our Sunday schools are having teachers' meetings. We hayo, quoted 11. Clay Trumbull, of the Sun?in/ School Times, on this subject but

will do so again: "A Sunday school without a teachers' meeting is no Sun-

day school." Mow, this topic was pre- sesion of Congress.

sented recently at one of our conventions by one who had had a very successful experience in conducting teachers' meetings in the country where the roads were very muddy (it was not in Montgomery county), and he s%id that the weather was never so bad, though sometimes it rained very hard, but that the attendance was good, and that the teachers' meeting was always held. He seemed surprised that we had so few in our county with its good roads and other advantages. This week we attended an excellent teachers' meeting in a city.

Every teacher of the Sunday school was present and there were many visitors. We mention this fact for this reason: If persons live in the country and are approached along this line they say: "Well, if I lived in town it would be different. We would have teachers' meetings every week, etc.'' Aud if they do live in town they 'say: "Well, if I lived in the country we would have a teachers' meeting we would have plenty of time for it. etc." The fact, of it is that no matter where such a person would live the teachers' meeting would turn up a minus- quantity. We want to say just this to our Sunday school friends, that our leading workers everywhere advocate teachers' meetings, and go farther and say this: "That it is utterly impossible to have a successful Sunday school without a teachers' meeting." Now, they have tested and tried itand know whereof they speak. "A Sunday school without a teachers' meeting is no Sunday school," and a teachers' meeting is possible anywhere if we want it.

As the Christmas season comes on and preparations are being made to observe the day, or the evening, it is necessary sometimes that the same exercise, or responsive reading, be in the handB of many persons, or of all. It would take a long while to write it out, and it would be too expensive to have it printed, but it is necessary that we have it. Below we give the formula for making a copygraph (the same one that was given at the State Sunday school convention held here in June of last year), and instructions for using it. It is a success for we have one and use it. Clip this out whether you need it now or not:

COl'VOHAI'U Kolt.MlM.A:

1 ounce glue. gelatine. (I glycerine. Put the glue and gelatine in a vessel with water enough to thoroughly soak it. Leave it iu soak for about twelve hours, or, until fully soft, and then add the glycerine: stir well. Put the whole mixture in a tin pan which is '.i inches wide, 11 inches long, and a ttill inch deep. Put this pan aud contents over a slow fire till all is melted", skim off the surface, if there be any foreign substance. When thoroughly melted and skimmed, set it off on a level table, arid leave it to cool aud harden. It is then ready for use.

TllK INK AMI IIOW TO MAKKIT. Take one ounce of Hoffman's B. B. 1!. analinc, put it in a I ounce bottle aud (ill up with soft water. Shake well and ink is ady.

MIKKCTIONS.

Write your letter as plainly"' as possible and set it aside until the ink has dried. Do not use a blotter. Place the letter, face down, on the gelatin surface: smooth it over gently with your hand, until every writteu word is pressed upon the gelatine. Let it remain about a minute or until the gelatine has obsorbed some of the ink from the letter: then remove the letter carefully, and you will see nn impression on the gelatine. Now take a clean phcet of paper—lay it down on the gelatine, and smoothe it over with your hand, and when you remove it you will lind you have a perfect copy of your letter.
