BROKEN IN TWO-

rV it OHicial I)ipatoh States Tlmt tho Maine Was Broken in Two, aiul This Is Kt*gur1ri as

Ugly l'roof.

Special to the Journal. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24 —An official dispatch to the Navy Department states that the investigation at Havana shows that the Maine was broken in two This fact is believed to give further proof tnat the disaster was caused by the ship being blown up by a submarine mine.

Under Sealed Orders.

Special to the Journal. NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 24.—The monitor "Terror" left this morning for sea under sealed orders from the Naval Department.

A Sensational Dispatch.

ST LOUIS, MO., Feb. 24—A Washington special to the Globe Democrat, says: "A torpedo, towed by along line behind a small boat, was drawn

against the bow of the Maine on the port side and exploded. It struck near the forward magazine and caused a partial explosion of its contents, completing the wreck of the forward part of the ship. "This is pxrt evidence, part theory It is Captain Sigsbee's knowledge and

belief. The President has received the information. He no longer entertains the opinion he did in the beginning, that the destruction was an accident. The board of inquiry is directing its investigation to the development of what is now considered the exDlanation of the explosion—a towed torpedo and a double explosion, first without and then within the Maine."

Kight Here in Our midst.

While our people are reading of the aristocracy of the Old World and pondering of its manificence they are all unconscious that right here in our midst we have a scion of one of Denmark's most illustrious families. Carl Henry Hugo Stotz is retoucher at Nicholson's photograph gallery, but hopes some day in the near future to I give up this job to take bis position aB 1 a millionaire. His father is rated, one of Denmark's wealthiest citizens and several years ago gave Carl Henry

Hugo about fif een thousand cold, clammy dollars and told him to go out and get acquainted with the world, Accordingly Mr. II. Stotz came to this country and proceeded to get I acquainted with its contour, age and climatic conditions. While he was doing this he got divorced from his pile.

Too proud to write home for more he began to do the work of an artist and has been at it now for some time. In a couple of years, however,-his probationary period will be over and he will return to Denmark to josh around in high society.

Keeping the Money at Home. The way to keep the money at home is not to 6end it away when you buy. C. W. Eshelman had this idea clearly in mind a short time ago when he found it necessary to increase the capacity of his laundry. He began by getting a boiler twice as large as his old one and he got it, not at St. Louis or Chicago, but right here at home, of

WANTED:—Several

Lyle & Reynolds. By 60 doing he got 'advocated measures which have a first-class piece of work in every respect and at a price as low or lower than that of outside parties. But he did more than this and here is the moral of our story. He spent his money where it would be spent again among our own merchants Lyle and Reynolds and their employes buy their supplies in Crawfordsville and add a little each week to the profits of our tradesmen. If Mr. Eshelman's example should be generally followed Lyle & Reynolds could double their force.

Crawfordsville Talent On the Koacl. The clever dancing of George W. Sering in the Lotus Club minstrels last year will be remembered by all who saw the performance. George is now winning golden opinions as a professional as will be seen by the following clipping from a Valparaiso paper: "The Eldon comedy company entertained a large and a very enthusiastic audience at the Grand last night with a four act comedy drama by Mr. Eldon, "The Fatal Letter." The make-up of the piece gave full opportunity for the introduction of innumerable specialties which were generally encored By far the best of these extra features was the dancing of George W. Sering

FAMILY POISONED.

James* T,-TiVvv, Wife iiml Clllliimi Eat Kolled Oat»an! Nearly Iio From Aitienioal Poisonm^.

The members of the family of James LeFew, of Milligan street, are seriously ill from the effects of arsenical poisoniDg. They were dangerously ill Wednesday but to-day the attendant phjsician, Dr. Hard, pronounces them as better. The family ate rolled oats on Tuesday evening and soon after were taken with violent cramps. Dr. Hard was summoned and worked with them mo6t of the night and Wednesday he made an analysis of Bome of the food arid found that it contained arsenic. The oatB when purchased were taken from a barrel at a grocery store and it is likely that the poison was introduced after the purchase as no other cases of poisoning from the same cause have been reported, as there 6urely would have been had the whole barrel been poisonous. The LeFews know of no enemy who would wiah to take their lives or who would have had an opportunity to poison their food.

The Question of an Independent. To the Kditur of the Journal. I read with much interest your edi torial article in Monday evening's issue of the Daily, in which you set forth with much force and good reason the duty of the business and conservative classes in respect to attending conven tions. I doubt not, every good citizen will agree with you, at least in theory, that your position in that respect is well taken. There are difficulties, however, in the way of the indepen dent thinker, which we will suggest, in the hope that you may be able to assist in removing or explaining, take it that the true patriot is desirous that his vote shall never contribute, either directly or indirectly to the success of any measure which will prove detrimental to the public welfare.

Political issues are continually changing, and in every convention we find a large numbsr of delegates who in their zeal for party success lose sight of the real welfare of the people and sometimes adopt measures to which some of the better informed 'cannot conscienciously yield an assent

If in such a case the mistake is con cerning a matter of minor importance the good citizen can support the plat form as a whole, ou the ground that thf-reby the general welfare will be subserved, but if it be touching some fundamental principle on which he has decided convictions, he can neither yield real or pretended support to the measure and return his self respect Opposition of the mildest type will either place such a man outside the party or destroy his influence in it. has been so in the case of Cleveland Carlisle, Senator Lindgey, Judge Hack ney, and others, und will probably continue to be so iu other parties The salutary irJluenee of such independent thinkers is thus eliminated, as it were, from the political equation.

The question, then, of which a solution is herein earnestly sought is, how can a man who has no ambition to gratify, no favors to ask and no ax to grind, refuse his assent to parly measures which he deems fraught with dangerous consequences, and yet retain his position and influence in the party? All parlies make mistakes. There is no party but has been deceived into nominating unworthy men. Nor does that party exist that has not

prov­

en detrimental to the welfare of society. I hold that man to be the best friend to both party and to his country who, not only gives it hi9 hearty 6up port when it is right, but helps to rebuke it when it is clearly wrong, and thereby compel it to return to the path of rectitude.

To crowd such men from the party cousels is but to eliminate therefrom the very elements which will cause it to deserve success and to deliver it into the control of those who, as leaders are both unworthy and incapable.

THROUGH MORMON EYES. PERSONAL MENTION.

llow CrawTordsvillo Appears to a Sojourning 1.alter Day Saint— He Maker* a Kick On The Churches,

There has come to hand a copy of the official organ of the Mormon church which contains interesting features. Under the column headed

Our Missionaries" is a letter from Crawfordsville, written by F. W. Passey, the Mormon Elder who is wrestling in this field for converts to his religion. Speaking of Crawfordsville Passey writes as follows: "Our conference was held in Indianapolis on the 13th and 14th of Novembir, where we had an enjoyable time. I was appointed to come to this city with Elder John I. EM.ertson, as my companion, this being anew field. We arrived on the 23rd of November, and stopped the first night with the city

Mayor. Crawfordsville has a population of about 10,000 inhabitants, mostly retired farmers, There are no factories here, some saying that the wealthy portion of the city will not allow it on account of the smoke. This is quite a college town, so that there are good many here renting rooms, the price of which we found quite high. The worst enemy we found here was a Baptist minister, who put along piece in the paper about us, headed, ''Squaw Hunter two Mormon Elders in Town Seeking Whom They May Devour." Then followed a most vilifying piece about us as a people, saying that the elders of our church preached one thing and the people in the west practised something else.

We were permitted to reply to it through the same paper, so that the people might get a better idea of our position. But there are many people who would rather believe a lie, than the truth. We have been barred out from all the churches but have held a few meetings in private houses, and have a chance to rent a hall. Our expenses are rather high, so that if the Ward could assist me, if it be ever so 1 little, it would be thankfully ac cepted.

The weather is very mild here at present, and there has been lots of

I am enjoying my labors very much, and feel to sense the worth of being a true servant of the Lord more every day I live.

I have missed the Sunday school more than anthing else since leaving home.

Will Try the Stout Case.

Terre Haute Express: Judge S. C. Stimson, of the Superior Court, received a letter yesterday from Judge A. F. White, of Rockville. .Jud^e White asked Judge Stimson to take ciarge of the noted Dr. Stout case, which was venued to Parke county from Montgomery county, and will be called for trial next Tuesday morning. Since the vacation of the Superior Court commences next week, and since Judge White was urgent in his request, Judge Stimson deaided to accommodate him and so telegraphed him.

Flowers, essays and music, and new clothes are all necessary, but the thing that will be saved and treasured up in boing dead. after years as a souvenir of that eventful occasion is the programme or invitation. It should be something handsome and distinctive, such as can be obtained of THE JOURNAL. We invite trustees,teachers and prospective graduates to call and see our new line of samples.

Family Itouiiion.

DARLINGTON, Feb. 21. Last week's JOURNAL was rather noted for so many accounts of surprise dinners and especially from this vicinity. But they were not all last week. John M. Booher, living near Darlington, gave a big dinner to bis brothers and sisters on Sunday last. There were fourteen children in the family, five girls and nine boys, three boys and one of the

There were nine of

them at the dinner, one not being able to attend from some pretext or other. When together they made a very nice looking group, all being in very good health, considering that some of them are getting along toward four score years. It was the first time so many of them have been together 'or several years Beginning with the oldest and naming them in the order of their ageB, they are: Mrs. Catherine Black, of near Lutheran, and Mrs. Mary Booher, of Darlington, who are twii b, are in their 70th year John M. Booher, aged CO years Mrs. Rhoda Kashner, aged 04 Wade H.

Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue contained in a bottle of Salvation Oil, than in any oilier liniment known "Mrs. A. Fiedler, 28(H l'alethorp St., Philadelphia, l'a., confirms this truth: She found Salvation Oil to be an excellent remedy for rheumatism, stifr joints, bruises, etc., and thinks it should always be kept in the house." Don't listen to the dealer's arguments in favor of a substitute. Insist on getting Salvation Oil, it costs only 25 cts.
