Last Fridnv afLoruoon shortly after three o'clock Colonel James Ryfd Hallowell died at the hmne of Mrs. Laura Doubleday en wesi Main street, he having1 been visiting there with bis wife for several weeks. Col. Hallowell was suffering from a complication of diseases uod consumption brought on through the grip and when he reached hero it was doubted whether he would ever be able to leave again. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon at half past two o'clock from the Doubleday home. The interment was at Oak Hill.

Col. Hallowell was born in Mcmtogcmiery county, Penn., but when quite young came to Parke county, Ind., where hie father was engaged in the milling business. As a boy he was self helping and enterprising and was a student at DaPauw University .vhen the war broke out. He enlisted at once in the 11th Indiana volunteers for the ninety days' service and was one of the few in the regiment who in the ninety days' service had a taste of fighting. At Ivelley's Island on the Potomac he was one of the thirteen scouts of the regiment who engaged in the memorial little fight there. After his service in the 11th was ended he enlisted in the 31st as a lieutenant and was soon after promoted to a captaincy. Later for meritorious service he was made major, then lieutenant colonel and finally colonel. At Fort Doneldson he was twice wounded and suffered greatly from these injuries all his life. Soon After the war closed he removed to Baxtor Springs, Kansas, and at once took a prominent place in the state as a Republican politician. He was elected etate senator and served four terms.

Later he was appointed United States attorney and as such was recognized as a most thorough and effieientofficer In 1879 he ran for congress from the state at large and was elected in spite of the terrible Democratic landslide that year. However, he was unseated in a contest brought agai.net, him In IS90 he again ran for congress but was defeated by .Terry Simpson, the famous "sockless statesman."

About a year ago Col. Hallowell rs moved to Chicago and opened a law of fice there. He started out very auspic iously but was soon obliged to retire on account of his failing health. He leavee a wife and one son, Montgomery HalloweK, a young man twenty-two years of age who is engaged in th-^ practice of law in Chicago. Mrs. Hallowell is a daughter of Isaac Montgomery of this county. Colonel Hallowell was a man of rare gifts and was recognized by all who knew him as honorable to a high degree. In his life as a soldier and as a public oflijial he always did his duty Col. Hallowell was quite prominent in G. A. R. circles and also in the loyal legion.

The funeral of Col. James Hallowell occurred Sunday afternoon from the residence jf M:s. Laura Doubleday, on west Main street, and the service was attended by a largo number of citizens and quite a number of old soldiers from over the state. There were many baautiful iloral tributes and at the cemetery where the interment took place the impressive service of the G. A. Ii. was carried out. The funeral was conducted by Chaplain J. B. Hamilton, of Bloomington, who was chaplain of ths 31st regiment, and his remarks on the war record of Col. HallowoU were touching a oil eloquent. Tho pall bearers were: Moses T. Kelloy, Thomas H. Britton, Norval VV. Camnoings ana Jesse B. Connelly, all of Rockvilleand all members of Co I, Col. Uallowell's old company, and Silas li. Grimes, of Bloomington, and David C. Hunter, of this city, members of Co. G, of his regiment. The following member* of tne Loyal Legion acted as honorary pall bearers: Gen. Lewis Wallace, Maj. L. A. Foote, Col. I. C. Elston, Capt. G. R. Brown, Lieut. Henry Campbell, Maj. C. L. Thomas, Capt. W. P. Herron, Capt. J. R. Knox, Capt. A. C. Ford, of Terre Haute, and Lieut. S. L. Ensminger.

General Wallace Monday sent Col. Halloweli's son, Montgomery Hallowell, the following letter, which is attestation of the record of Col. Hallowell in the 11th Indiana:

CBAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., June 27, 1898. —Mr. Montgomery Hallowell—Dear Sir:—I attended your father's funeral yesterday, and doubt if, outside of his family, there was one present more sincerely moved to sorrow. My memory went back to the Kelly Island fight in which he was one of thirteen scouts out by my order, and who

acquitted themselves against six times south Green street.

their odds in a manner that should have been signalized in history. Nothing braver, more successful, more desperate was done in tho war. I have always felt prouder of the 11th Indiana because of that heroism. Please give your mother my sympathy and respect,.and believe me .Most truly yours,

I.,K\V WALLACK.

The following editorial notice is clipped from the Kansas City Xlur ., I\YIt::\vr.l.s. TO "l'ltlNCK 1IAL,"

This morning the announcement came that Coionel James K. Hallowell, of Kansas, had died at Crawfordsville, Ind., yesterday afternoon, and as a great number of Kansans read the news they sighed and murmured:

Poor Prince Hal,' as the dreary thought unforbidden came that one whom they had known so full of life and health and cheer, so intensely active, so enthusiastic in the many causes and plans and labors which interested him, was dead and still and cold, knowing no more the clasping hand of man or 6inile of woman

James Hallowell was the son of a Quaker miller and was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, in 1S41, but it would be hard to conceive of a man with less of the look and way and feeling and habit of the Quaker than he. Hi rjf verthless spoke with pride of his Quaker ancestry and of the fact that 'down in Cherokee' the Friends, who are quite numerous, stood by him in all his political campaigns. The sons of Quakers, when they become soldiers, as they are apt to do, can be relied upon to stay with tbe fighting line. This young Hallowell did. He was on His way south with the Eleventh Indiana on the 17th of April, 1861. He stayed always where the fighting was going on till the very end. He was at Donelson and Shiion and Stone River and Chickamauga, ana in the hard time at Franklin and the following "sweep" at Nashville. He rose to be lieutenant-colonel of his regiment, and was brevetted colonel of volunteers. 'Prince Hal'was a wonderfully good soldier one of the kind that tne army boys say is 'fine as silk.' lie was offered a commission in the regular army, but declined it, read law instead and was admitted to the bar in Indiana, and in ISO.) came to Kansas and finally located in Columbus, then much torn up b|' the 'neutral land' troubles He married, practiced law and went into politics, vvus sent to the legislature and was one tho most active and popular and hearty and cheerful figures in the whole btate. He served a term as United States district attorney and after this removed to Wichita. In 1S90 he was the Republican candidate for congress against Jerry Simpson and was defeated by him, and this was the beginning of the eud.

It is said that in this camoaign Mr. Halloweli's iron strength of constitution was broken. Ia 1893 he removed to Chicago, entered up JU the practice of law and his Kansas friends were gratified at the reports that camt back of his success, but he returned to Kansas to rest and recruit, they said, but there was really no more to do. He was the victim of consumption. As the inevitable end east its shadow before he wished to be taken back to his native country and selected bis place of burial there. His wish was obeyed, and so the end came at

Crawfordsville,

where he died in the presence of his faithful wife and his eon. Montgomery, and his wife's sister, Mrs. Anderson, of Kansas City, Kap.

There seems to be a difference of opinion as to when and where he acquired this namo of 'Prince Hal.' tSoiue say it was applied as a term of de. ision by Jerry Simpson in the campaign of 1390, and others that it was a name the boys gave him in the? army, but it makes no difference since it fitted him and conveyed his imago to his friends so hearty and brave and generous, and with a laugh that it was a joy to bear."

The other day Marion Rhoades, the trustee of Clark township, came to town and gave to the prosecutor the names of seven, gents in hi.a domain who harbored dogs and who steadfastly refused to pay the tax thereon. Four of tbsm live right in the heart of Ladoga, and last Friday warrants for their arrest were sworn out before Squire Buck and that great and good man, Constable Byas was started down to fetch them up for trial. He came rolling in good season with the body of one Ed Thoma^ in his game bag. Thomas was tried on the charge and found guilty, being fined in the sum of one dollar and costs, amounting in all to S12. He paid up and was released.

WONDERFUL INCREASE.

John Hyde, the government statistician, has published an exhaustive table showing tho phenomenal condition of the crops, which promise such an abundant, yield this year. It seems that the all-wise Providence, in anticipation of the war for humanity and justice which this nation was destined to wage, decreed that nature should provide more bountifully than ever for this favored people.

The yield of wheat will be simply enormous, and tho imperative rule of the law of supply and demand will act for the benefit of both producer and consumer, as it will insure a price of seventy-fire or eighty cents per bushel to the farmer, and will yet enable tho miller to sell his flour at prices within the reach of every purse.

In this country to-day there is a total acreage of wheat alone of about 43,000,000 acres, over 3,500,000 acres greater than last year.

The average condition of spring wheat is the almost, if not entirely, unprecented one of 100.9, as compared with S9 0 on June 1, 13Q7, and a June average of 92 5 for the past ten years. The nearest approach to this almost phenomenal condition was on June 1, 1896, when the average was 99.9.

The average condition of the winter wheat is 90 S as compared with 7S.5 at the corresponding date last year and 81.0 the average for the last ten years. Indiana shows an average for .Tune 1 of 95. This state shows a per cent, decrease in the total acreage of oats, but the crop shows an increase of 9 points in quantity. This same unusual yield is reported in every branch, peaches and apples making the best showing they have made in ten years, and in spite of the war and its "war prices" the United States will this year fare exceedingly well.

FOR THE BOYS.

Article* Which Are Always Greutli Aj pinnated liy Soldier* in tho Fiel.i....

One or two of the most needed items that have been collected by those who understand the subject are certainly practical. To begin with, there are the flannel bandages which are so necessary to health in tropical climates. Then there may be made small individual mosquito nets to be put on tbe hats. These should be made according to the pattern followed by the quartermaster's department of the army or some other serviceable pattern. They are made to fit on a ring or on an elastic band which fits around the army hat. They must be full and long enough to tuck in around the neck, so as to completely protect both fnen and neck.

Oa the same order are the sunshades for th3 back of the neck. These, like the haveloclcs which were so much in demand during the civil war. arp fastened around the back of the crown of the hat, or may be attached only to the back brim. Tney are intended to protect the back of the bead and neck from the heat of the sun. These are made white outside, but with a green lining, and the relief they afford is said to be marvelous. They would seem to be very easy to make, but they require to be carefully done, and it is a great mistake to send poor work. Kvery stitch must ba carefully taken, and tho material, which is always cheap, must be carefully looked over to seo that it is not defective. The havelocks were first used in India, and there their usefulness was at once 'demonstrated. During our eml war many o? those that were sent were so poorly made as to be quite useless.

Another thing that, is of GREAT, TIT is an emollient—any kind oI emollient that is good for sunburn, stings, and bites of insects. Small boxes of this

of tho least possible weight should be provided. These small and apparently insignificant trifles add greatly to tho comfort of those who have to undergo the hardships consequent upon war and active service therein. We know little about the glare and heat of tropical countries, but those who have studied the subject are very strong in opinions as to wnat the suffering means, and these practical hints have been given by those who know the subject by personal experience.

The justice offices of Crawfordsville are now busier than they have been for years and the fat fees that are eoming smoothly in arc causing the Equires to smile with delight. The owners and harborers of dogs who failed to settle with tbe assessors when they called are furnishing the meat upon which tho justices are feeding so bounteously. The constables are kept' hopping and the squeals of the unfortunate victims can bo heard for blocks as they are dragged ruthlessly before the thrones of justice. All of them are surprised as they have dodged the dog tax for so many years that they came to look on it as a inke and it is hard for them to realize that the new. law is loaded. Nearly ono hundred and fifty warrants are out and all will be arrested and fined. Thoy must pay or go to lil. The prosecutor is obliged to proceed against every man who is reported as delinquent by the assessors and the assessors are obliged to report every man who docs not pay when assessed. Several have attempted to escape by paying up after they have learned that they are to be arrested. This does not go down and all delinquents will be lined regardless of age, sex, color, or previous condition of ownership. The following victims were fined Monday morning: Howard Stonebraker, J. B. Allenlmugh,

From tlu* (.'.imp,

Harry Taylor writes from Chickamauga Park that ail the lnys are in good health and spirits except .Shoemaker, Rodger.?., Cole and Paul Cox. Shoemaker and Jlodfrory are in tho hospital and Cole and Cox are under the doctor's care, not being sick enough to goto tbe hospital. All four are on tho mend, however, and there is no occasion for alarm in any case. The new recruits are now broken in and are enjoying everything as much as the rest. The examination of the non-commissioned officers took place last week and all the boys of Co. came out with flying colors. The food now provided is first class and there is plenty of it.

Sad Fate of Willier Galley. Wilber Gulley, who was suspected several years ago as being the man who shot Will Schlemmer at the Monon station, was in the city Saturday evening and having filled up on bad beer hunted up Marshal Grimes to tell him what he thought of the marshal having had him arrested and held at Shelbyville. He found Mr. Grimes in no time but he had hardly begun his story when the marshal lifted him off his feet and chased him off to the cooler. On Monday Wilber was fined for intoxication and being unable to liquidate was retained at the jail house.
