On Thursday the fabt meat train from Chicago came through town at its usual merry clip. It does not stop at the station but passes there at the rile- of tw.-nty miles &u hour. On Thursd&j- fcorr.e yousg countryman who debirtd to go aoutu aiteiupted to board the train from the platform. As the train shot pa.-t he reached for the ladder on one ot the cars and was lifted from his feet and thrown between the platform and the ears. How he escaped from a death under the wheels is a mystery but the Providence which guards little children and fools is supposed to have intervened in bis behalf. The narrow escape from death seemed to impress him properly for he remarked as lie crawled from his awful posif.ou after the train had passed that he would never again tackle a moving train
A llumlsome Souvenir.
Mrs. Anna Munns, of this city, has presented to the Dew congregation worshiping at Memorial Chapel in Morningside. with a beautiful quadruplo plate coaiuiunion silver service. I The inscription upon the llagon reads as follows: "Presented to thd Presbyterian Memorial Chapel, Crawfordsville, Iud June 30, 1S9S, by Mrs. Anna Muii'ie." This most appropriate gift, coming, as it does, from this Christian lady who has been shut in from church attendance for so long u.nd who is probably the oldest member of the First Presbyterian congregation, will be much appreciated by those so kindly remembered.

PAYING OFF STATE BONDS-
A Payment of $:»OO.OUO to lJo Blade This Week.
The state financial board has decided to take up 8200,000 worth of outstanding bonds this week. The money will be forwarded to the state's agents —Winslow, Lanier & Co., of New York—as soon as the treasurer can prepare a trial balance of the sinking fund, and the New York agents will pay the money to the German Savings Bank of Brooklyn, which holds the bonds. Of the 8300,000, half will be paid on the temporary loan mada in April, ISi'J, bearing 3 per cent interest and due next year. When Treasurer Scholz went into otlitie there was §000,UOO of this loan outstanding. The payment to be made this week will wipe it out. The other £100,000 will be paid on the SI,000.000 loan also made in 1SS0. and the coming payment will reduce this debt to §400,000... To make these two payments will require the board t,o tkairo closely on tin-, financial alTivirs of the state for the remainder of the year, siuce the money the state has been called to advance for military tilT.tii approaches, tfUu,000. The counties will be asked to make some advanced payments next fall. It has beon eix years since the ^•ate found it necessary to issue bonds. Tno last loan called for 5500,000, and during that year a loan of 8585,000 was aiau refunded. The btate treasurer s:ii that in recent years the credit of ti-n, state on the money market has advanced to the point where there is continued inquiry from money lenders as to when Indiana will have some more bonis to dispose of. Instead of issuing more bouds, the treasurer says, the state will devote the next few years to paying off present indebtedness.*
