The first monthly meeting of Lew Wallace Catnp of Republican Veterans and Sons of Veterans occurred last Thursday night in the cour troom. Comrade McDaniel presided over the meeting in the absence of the president. The membership committee reported the names of 05 veterans and sons of veterans for membership. Delegates to the Lafayette Republican Club convention were appointed.
Following the regular business a spirited discussion of the history in use in Indiana schools occurred. Speeches were made by Professors Teister, Ewing, Vance and Kenaston. by County Chairman Fry and Comrades Tracy and Russell, and by Dr. Hickman. The discussion will probably be continued at the mext meeting, the interest of those present last week being aroused to the highest pitch.
W. T. Fry, Chairman of the County Central Committee, sounded the key note of the discussion. "Our purpose is to make Republicans. Tbe Republican party has always been the party of loyalty and patriotism. We believe that had the truth about the rebellion been taught from the first there would be more Republicans among our young men. The past is done, but we can use our influence to have the right cause recognized as right and the wrong as wrong. We do not want to belittle the valor of those who fought for the southern cause,but we do want our children to know that Gen. Lee, though a brave man and a good general, was a traitor to
hiB
oath of alleg-
ience, that the cause for which he fought was .vrong." Prof. Geo. F. Kenaston took the view that the glory of the victory was its own defense: that so long as our country exists the Union soldier will get his just dues, and that we can afford to extend the hand of peace and good will to the South.
Comrades Tracy and Ewing gave instances where the book, to their personal knowledge, was wrong in the account of facts as well as in spirit. The history was declared la"king in a truthful account of tbe rebellion. Many important battles and maneuvers are either omitted or palpably misrepresented. Names of some of the Uniou'8 bravest generals are entirely omitted, and, as shown by Dr. Hickman in his speech, the book is entirely silent on the part the Negro bore, of their victory in battle and the assistance they gave the Union soldiers in the southern country.
Following is a list of the members of the Camp:

The American Express Company wants to know what has become of a package containing nearly $300 which was recently lost in Crawfordsville. It seems that the package was turned over by a Crawfordsville party to be shipped to Chicago. A driver of the express company received it and receipted for it but that i6 the last knowledge the company has of it. It did not reach its destination and was not turned over to the express messenger on the train the night it should have been. The driver who received the package recently left the company's employ and he will be asked to tell what he knows about the affair,
Harry Maxwell in IndiaiiapoIiK. Indianapolis Journal: Uarry Maxwell, a young man who has been associated with Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman and other evangelists, will hold a series of evangelistic meetings at the Seventh Presbyterian lasting for ten days or two weeks. The opening meeting was held last night. Mr. Maxwell made a very strong impression on the large congregation that attended. Special evangelistic music will be given with the aid of a large chorus during the meetings. From the interest aroused last night it is apparent that much good will result from Mr. Maxwell's work.

Ladoga Leader: The old Seminary pupils will hold their annual reunion here next 6ummer, and the old Academy people will probably hold one at the same time. Either at that time or on some other date during the summer the Normal reunion must be held. The Normal wib
a later institution, had
many more students than all the others combined, and so has many more representatives within reach of Ladoga.
Sold a Farm.
R. C. Walkup Saturday purchased the Alex. Conner farm, near New Ro6s, for 55,500. It was sold at commissioner's Bale.

DR. WEBB DIES.
YouiittivilH* I'liyKiciau SucuiuIik to an Attack of Pneunioniu—Will J5« Buried in Ohio,
Last Friday at Yountsville Dr. W. 1'. Webb, aged 44 years, died of pneumonia. He had been sick only a few days and his death was quite a surprise to his friendB. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon at Yountsville and on Monday the body was shipped to Camden, 0 for interment.
Dr. Webb had resided in Yountsville for a few years only, but had established quite a reputation as a learned and skillful physician. He was, indeed, a man of many brilliant parts, but had a weakness which prevented hiB rise to the station in life to which his genius entitled him. He leaves a wife and mother, who were with him at the time of his death.
The New Library.
The new library association is progressing slowly but surely. Slowly because tbe committee is anxious to proceed in Buah a manner that there will be no legal bar to the association's getting a library tax levied next year. The law on the subject is somewhat complicated. The membership fee is $1 per year and everybody without regard to club membership is invited to join. The fee will pay for one year from the time from which the library is opened which will be in a few weeks. Forty-six personB have subscribed $1 each without soliciation but later on the committee expects to make a complete canvass of the town. Over a hundred good books have also been donated. In thiB connection it might be interesting to nots that last Saturday when the central committee called upon him General Lew Wallace publicly announced that some day his beautiful 'library building in which they were assembled would belong to the citv of Crawfordsville.
.Statistics on CoiiHuinjitioit. The State Board of Health has made some calculation in regard to consumption which shows that .14 per cent of all the deaths in the State are due to this disease. The mortality from the same case in the poor farms and benevolent institutions is much greater, being 30 per cent out of all the deaths in these institutions. These figures lead the board to infer that there is some connection between pauperism, imbecility and insanity and tuberculosis.

Mr. John Rice, Sr., died Saturday at 11:45 a. ni. at the home of Capt. R. E. Bryant. Mr. Rico was born in Washington, Pa., on April 10, 1804. He removed with his father to Corydon, Ind., at that time the capital of the State, in 1807. Later in life he joined the Presbyterian church and for nearly thirty years was a ruling elder, as well as superintendent of the Sunday school, and freely gave of his time and money in establishing and sustaining churches and schools in that part of the State. Mr. Rice was twice married, in 1821) to Miss Sophia Hinsdale, who died Sept. 4, 184(1, leaving five children. Of these are living Theodore Rice, of Chicago: Mrs. Anna
Ryers, of Missouri, and Mrs. R. E. Bryant and Mrs. Mary Truax, of this city. In 1849 he married Miss Nancy Baldwin, who died in this city January 22, 1894, leaving three children. All these children are now living: John Rice, of this city Mrs. Ruth Kenton, of Springfield, Mo., and Mrs. Hattie Kent, of Topeka, Kansas. He has been a resident of Crawfordsville for thirty-seven years, apart of the time buying and shipping grain and stock. Mr. Rice was a man of generous impulses and, so long as his circumstances permitted, was ready and willing to aid every good cause. He had no enemies, but hosts of friendB, whowill hear with regret of the death ot this genial old man. The funeral occurred Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
TROUBLE ON GREEN STREET.
A Runaway Horse OlturguK Down the Celebrated Thorough fare and l'artially IViwIcs the Ramsey Hotel.
At 2 o'clock last Saturday afternoon a horse hitched to a spring wagon, ran off on Green street and made no end of trouble. A lad named Toney was driving, and when in front of Martin's iee oflice dropped the lines. When Toney got down to pick them up the horse gave him a kick and Btarted on the jump for his barn. Everyone got out of the way very respectfully and he had a clear path until Market street was reached. He made a wide turn there and in so doing came to the pavement in front of the hotel. On this he slipped, and sliding several feet went through the Btorm door with a crash which could be heard for blockb. The big storm door was wrecked, together with the wagon and harness. The horse, however, save lor a cut on the bead escaped serious in-' jury. No one happened in the door at the time so fortunately no one was hurt. It was one of the ugliest kind of runaways to witness and most remarkable in that some one was not killed.
The UoH|iel According to M. Morse. To the Editor of the Journal. Will you kindly give the mining cost of tbe Bilver in a silver dollar, and the mining cost of the gold in the gold dollar, and greatly oblige,
Respectfully yours, J. J. DAKTF.lt.
Mr. Darter's gospel, the Indianapolis Sentinel, answets hiB question as follows: "A correspondent asks the Sentinel what it coBts to mine the gold in a gold dollar and to mine the silver in a silver in a silver dollar.' That depends entirely on the mine and the facilities for mining. In the Klondike there is apparently plenty of gold mined at a coss of not over 5 cents to the dollar. In the Homestake mine, in Deadwood, the cost of mining gold is about 40 cents to the dollar. No mining of any kind costs as much as the product or nobody would engage in mining. Mining is a business, and like any other business, it is conducted for profit. Nobody would mine gold or silver without a profit any more than they would mine coal, or copper, or lead. Hence, in any gold or silver mine the cost of mining is le68 than the market value of the product. It would be impossible to make any accurate statement of the average cost of mining either metal, and especially silver, because it iB commonly found with other metals which go to make up the value of the mine product."
