BEE TREE BILLY-

William Doyle Is .Tourneying Toward Plutocracy at, tlie Expense of the Wild llee.

Billy Doyle, the well known painter, is getting to be a plutocrat at the expense of the wild bee.

Billy is happiest when he is painting the big fish on the standpipe or adjusting the flag ropes on the couit house staff, and when such things are not open he amuses himself in other ways. The "bee tree" of pioneer days is still a reality hereabouts and Billy has been making all kinds of coin this winter by securing the rich stores of wild honey they contain. Whenever a swarm escapee from the farm aviary it takes up its abode iu some hollow tree in the woods and there are many thousands of these trees hereabouts. The only thing is to know where they are. One way of finding them is to watch the bees at work in the summer time and follow them to their homes. Then await the coming of winter, when the cold will so numb them that resistance to the robbers of their store will be in vain. Another method of finding bee trees is to watch in the late Fall at the foot of trees for the dead bees which have been cast from the forest hive by their surviving fellows.

Doyle is an expert in this work and not only does he receive the honey he finds individually, but he is called on by:scores of farmers who know of bee trees on their farm and who are not desirous of

their lives in

riFking

scaling the trees, too valuable to be cut down for what honey they contain. Doyle has secured many hundreds of pounds of wild honey this season and is making a neat little pile by selling it. Much of the honey he secures is as clear and pretty as the domestic article, but is stronger in flavor. Many lovers of honey, however, prefer it so.

When Doyle finds a bee tree he scales it and sometimes at an altitude of sixty feet will stand erect on a limb and wield an ax with bolh hands as he cuts into the hollow where the honey is stored. Wherever practicable Doyle stops up the hole he cuts and leaves enough honey to last the bees until Spring flowers come. Thus he insures himself another revenue in honey the following season.

There are all sorts of new enterprises for making money and Doyle's is about as unique as any of them.

Ugly Kuninvay.

As Claude Deere, of Waveland, and Jennie Bowerman, of Alamo, were out driving last Sunday, the neck yoke strap broke on a hill, the horses ran, and the buggy was overturned into a six foot ditch. Both occupants were bidly hurt. Miss Bowerman's neck was almost broken, her left arm dislocated at the wrist and her face and head were badly bruised. Mr. Deere's left arm was hurt and he suffered a scalp wound some three inches long. A doctor was telephoned for and soon had them resting easier. Miss Bowerman will not be able to be taken home for some time yet.

IN CRAWFORDSVILLE.

The Republican Congressional Convention of the Ninth District Will De llehl In This City Nest May.

At a meeting of the members of the Republican Committee for the Ninth Congressional district held Monday at Indianapolis it was ordered that delegates be selected March 12 and that the convention be held May 24 in the city of Crawfordsville.

^Governor mount's Ktigugenicnt'K. Governor Mount Monday received word from Dr. William Henry Roberts that the sub-committee, of the Presbyterian church on synodical home missions will meet in New York City, Mar. 8. The committee of fifteen will meet March 10. The Governor is a member of the sub-committee and will attend its meeting.

The Governor is also down for an address at the convention of the Illinois State farm institutes to be held at Champaign, Feb. 24. Governor Tanner will preside over the meeting, and exGovernor Lewis, of Michigan., is another of the speakers.

The Jolly Candidate.

When the sap begins to rise and the geese begin to mate, then we hear the gentle carol of the county candi jate. Oh, he's a jolly fellow and he's full of vain conceits, and he sees a bosom friend in every man he meetB. 13e a6ks about your family, your horses and your hogs, and 6hows a friendly interest in your children and the dogs. Oh, he's a jnvial gentleman, as gamesome as a lamb, as blithesome as a meadow lark and as happy as a clam. His prospects are the brightest and his chances they are sure, and he spends his money freely and he helps the needy poor. He goes to church on Sunday and his pious traits appear,but when its necessary he will then fret up the beer. Oh. he's a buoyant, sanguine duck, the jocund candidate he starts out early in the morn and stays until it's late. His patient wife unlocks the door and. with a look of pain, she says "You needn't lie to me, your leg's been pulled again."

A Suggestion.

To the Editor of the Journal. Having skill as a careal miller I make a suggestion which may be worth considering at this time when there is a necessity for doing something to hold business in Crawfordsville. A cereal mill is my plan, wheat oats and corn milled by the modern process. This will give farmers a market for grain and home mill feed. More help will ba needed in such a mill. An elevator will be needed. All this should be located on the rail. In regard to motive power I have a plan which is practical and modern. Sugar Creek is wasting its water. Many horse power goes over the tumbling top dam night and day. Use this to its utmost limit for making electricity, using Bteam to fill the gap in dry times. A wire can convey the modern power to any part of the city. To bring all thi6 into operation a stock company is an American plan. J. h. HANLICY.

Will Kntertaiti.

The Lotus Club will throw open its doors on the occasion of the Republican Congressional convention next May and will entertain everybody royally. The delegates to the convention of two years ago were so pleased with Crawfordsville that the convention came here this year by general consent.

It is said that the Democratic Congressional convention may also be held here. It should be and the JOURNAL guarantees that th'e unterrified will be received with a cordial hospitality which will warm the cockles of their hearts. It has been many years since Crawfordsville has had a Democratic Congressional convention and the local wheel horses should see to it that this year the proper thing is done.

TJiefir Witnesses.

Danville, 111., Commercial: Married in Danville October 27, 1897—Divorce application filed February 2, 1898, at Crawfordsville.

That is the brief matrimonial start and finish of Emma Lucas, of Waynetown, Indiana. In the Crawfordsville court she will probably supply the happenings between these dates that will entitle hen-to release papers.

Francia M. Lucas and Emma Cramer were married in Danville by Judge Thompson on October 27 last in the presence of high heaven, W. H. Trimble and J. W. Blackstock.

Will Kntertain.

The Crawfordsville lodge of Masons will entertain all the other lodges of the county here next Monday afternoon and evening. Work in the third degree will be performed by the Ladoga team, the Darlisgton team and the Crawfordsville team. A large delegation is expected and a general good time.

A "Count" Who IIus mi ICstatnlii ItulKarin Was Here to Draw Pictures I'nr .(lie People.

When the street corner medicine faking passed into decline people wondered what had become of those brilliant men of genius who had given tono to this profession and tonic to the people. They are still on earth and are evidently doing well. One of them called at the JOURNAL office last Tuesday arrayed in a plug hat, a coster monger's coat, a Bowery button and the astonishing statement that he was a real iive count. The count told "the story of a blighted life" and seemed to pride himself on his unequaled stock of rich red nerve more than on his rich blue blood. After regaling the JOURNAL with a glowing account of his noble lineage, his wonderful achievements and his fondness for fame he gave a pyrotechnic display of Bulgarian gall by taking possession of the office and dashing off the following:

A REAL LIVE COUNT.

I:NUI.\IC EUROPEAN PRINCE IN CRAWKORDSVILLK.

"There is an aristocrat of high degree in our midst. Iiis blood is a deep cerulean blue his ancestors embrace kings and queens, and his full name is Count de Lonzo, Duke de CheveretteColigny, Baron de la Chateau-Renaud, Marquis Vaillancourt-Epernay-Ville-franehe, Viscount Pierre-Armaud St. Stephen, Chevalier de Launay, and exsecretary to His Majesty King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The possessor of the above formidable list of titles paid a pleasant call at the JOURNAL office this morning. The Count was stylishly attired in along frock coat, silk hat and patent leathers. Upon a peail and ivory scarf pin appeared the face of a beautiful young lady, and about the princely neck was a gold watch chain eight feet in length. "Immediately following a duel in which I slew Prince Sergius Gregor Gregorovitch Szwbszki," said the Count, "I was exiled from Bulgaria by the King. My castles and estates were confiscated and a legacy of 10,000 roubles, left me by my uncle, Baron Ivanovitch, was my sole remaining capital. This occurred three years ago. Being aware of the anxiety which many rich American mothers manifest, to wed their daughters to foreign titles, I sailed for New York. I enjoyed a most pleasant sojourn there, and was made a social lion by Gotham's aristocracy. Although I had many offers, I could not find a girl of sufficient wealth and beauty to suit my critical taste. Bevies of rich mothers surrounded me, but till I met my "affinity" I resolved to be as ice to all the title-hunting fashionables of Fifth avenue and Broadway. Then I made up my mind to tour the country. But it costs money, and alas! my roubles were all gone. So I went to work. The fact of working just like an ordinary mortal was a novelty to me. My titles give me much preBtige, as my reputation precedes me, and I make $10 or 815 a day for a couple of hours' work. As soon as I secure a maiden to my fancy, who possesses beauty, lands, and 85,000,000 or so, I shall return to Bulgaria.

The American clothing company were impressed by the Count's Chesterfieldian politeness and noble beariDl?i and gave him 810 to appear iu their window for two hours this afternoon and cast the giamour of his aristocratic presence over the clothing displayed therein. He is stopping at the Ramsey and leaves to night for Indianapolis."

Hoard of Charities Hepoi I. The annual report of the Board of State Charities was filed with the Governor Tuesday. The report of the Board on outdoor relief for the poor, based on the returns made by township trustees shows that during the year otic person in twenty-seven received public aid. During the year 82,412 persons were relieved, as against 67,414 the previous year. Of this number aided 70,899 were white and 544 colored, 56,340 were Americans, 1,865 Irish and 3,795 Germans.

During the year the total amount expended in out door relief was 8388,693.57, as against 8355,255 29 during the previous year. An extended report from W. B. Streeter, who has charge of the child saving work now being carried on under the direction of the Board, was also filed.

A Sad Death)

lively Kuninvay.

Two men living south of town were driving along south Washington street last Tuesday in a buggy drawn by a spirited team when the pole pulled out. All efforts £0 restrain the horses were vain and a lively runaway followed. It ended by the horses running foul of a telephone pole at the corner of Washington and College streets and being sadly upset. The damage done to vehicle and harness was considerable.
