Your Wife Says That You Are Something of st Terror ami lias Asked For a JMvoreo and Alimony*

Our old friend Jacob Mart/., from up about Darlington, is in all kinds of trouble. 11 is wife, MentaMart/., came walking into the circuit court Tuesday morning and filed a divorce complaint against him which is a screamer from away back in the dark ages. She says that she and Jake were originally married in 1889 but. that, they separated shortly after only neaiti reunite their fortunes. This sevi-,| nr win was hardly BO satisfactory L- the fir-t although it was continued until within the lest few weeks. tier story of Jake's carryings on are pretty t• it./h on Jake but as all the tieigl bjr^ waut to know what is the ma.tier it is only right that their yearning curiosity should be gratified. Mrs. Martz's first stated complaint is that Jake made a great kick ot. tier children walking over the carpets on the floor. lie said that they had been purchased with the money of his first wife and that hn did not prooose to have them worn out by the rompings of his second wife's kids

Ho also protested lustily against them going to prayer meeting and the Christian Endeavor meetings. Ha said that this was wearing out their Sunday clothes all to no purpose and that the Christian Endeavor was only the endeavor to citch a bean anyhow. Mrs. Mart/ avers that ho would not buy her proper food or clothes ai that ho flatly refused to buy the proper utensils to cook with. Consequently she could not cook the food in first class style and when they had company Jake would tell ail at the table that his wife didn't know how to cook tilings decently and would then tell them how elegantly his first wife used to dish things up. When her relatives would drop in for dinner as they sometimes did she says that Jake would openly curse them as they ate and would say that he didn't like the idea of supporting the whole clique. He refused to let her drive the pony to the buggy although he had no use for it, and demeaned himself in a generally ugly way. She aska that the court grant her the divorce and in addition alimony to the sum of S4,000. She represents that Jake has property worth over $10,000 and thinks it only right that she should have a goodly share of it.

Mr, Dooiey's Position.

G. I. Dooley, one of the jurors in the Hutton case, desires to b3 placed right as regards his stand in the matter. It has been reported that Mr. Dooley was somewhat averse to finding against Mr. Hutton and that he said at one stage of the proceedings in the jury room that there was polities in the case. Mr. Dooley took no such narrow stand as TIIE JOURNAL is credibly informed. On the question of for or against Mr. Hutton, Mr. Dooley's ballot was the first one cast and it was against. By his personal effort all talk in the jary room which tended to a political character was suppressed and in his opinion Mr. Hutton escaped very easily. THE JOURNAL takes pleasure in setting Mr. Dooley right in this matter. He is not a man who allows his political preferences to interfere with his judgment of right and wrong and feels that since he has been misquoted that his position should be p'ainly given to the public.

The Sliooliug Matcli.

About fifteen marksmen participated in Monday's shoot which was given under the auspices of the local gun club. The best records were made by Dr. Britton, Tripp and Perry of Indianapolis. The Indianapolis contingent did especially good work and was not put to the extremity of walking home by any minuer of means.

HOW ABOUT THIS, JAKE? LIFE IN THE SIGNAL CORPS.

Will Sehleuimer Writes Interestingly of the Duties of the Crawfordsville ..', Telegraphers 1 it the Army. sp

G. W. L. lirown is in receipt of the following letter from \V. A. Schlern mer, of the Unitod States signal corps: •WASHINGTON BARRACKS, D. C.—We have at last left Indianapolis and are ow stationed here and settled down to regular army life. We left Indianapolis Thursday evening, and the whistles all along the liue gave us a 'blow oil'salute. We had a nice run here over the C. II & D. and A- O. The ladies of Chillicothe, Athens, O., and Grafton, W. Va., gave us a nice lunch and coltYe and fl iwers as we went through each place. I guess it is not necessary to describe the beautiful scenery along the line. Our fellows aro all in good health. We will probably bo here three weeks. The duties we have to perform are various. Not what we expected, but every one seems to be satisfied. We have to groom and ride horses, keep our quarters and the grouuds clean, split wood, learn 'wig wag' (signal ,vith Higs), heliograph, etc. They keep us busy, but I enjoy it very much. Wo even have to take turns washtntr dishes and waiting table. I am beginning to feel better that I ever felt in my life.

We have very nice roomy, clean quarters with bath tubs. The grouuds ere very large and beautiful and border right ou the Potomac. We are, all going swimming to-night. We have lots of boats to row. No one, non-commis-sioned officers included, is exempt from work. They all hare to do their share. The New York signal corps goes to Charleston. S. C., this after noon. There are quite a number of rich men's sons in the different corps quartered here. No appointments have been made as yet. Most of the bojs are writing and I am standing and writing this against the wall. Address rne simply Indiana Volunteers, United States Signal Corps, Washington Barracks, D. C. Regards to my friends. The other boys send their regards. Will writa you again soon."

RUFUSTHE INCENDIARY.

The iiuil Distinguished Trash Hauler Causes Great Kveitement On West Market street.

Wednesday noonRufus Welle,the popular and refined trash hauler, had an exciting time on west Market street and caused excitement for others. Rufus was hauling a load of ashes to the Market street fill and on top of his load had stacked a lot of old boxes and other inflamable trash. The ashes were live and shortly before Rufus reached his destination they ignited the trash above. Great volumes of smoke began to pour skyward and Rufus naturally became somewhat perturbed mentally. Instead of dumping his load right in the street he whipped up his thoroughbreds and made all possible haste toward the fill. When ho reached there he dumped his load, burning as it was, out onto several tons of highly inflamable traBh which, fanned by the gale that was blowing, was soon a fire which terrorized the neighborhood. An alarm of fire was turned in and the department responded promptly. A stream of water soon subdued the fire fiend and quiet reigned once more on west Market. Rufus had the bottom burned out of his wagon, but the wheels were left and the blooded horses were not even scorched.

ALL IS NOT LOVELY.

There Seems to ISe Considerable DisutVicUun In tlio Hanks oi Company 1-etlers Sent Home.

It has been generally known for some time that all is not as lovely as a May morning in tho camp of Company M. Of late the trouble has been augmenting instead of diminishing ana TIIE JOURNAL has received several letters asking that certain allegations be given publicity. The request has been invariably made, however, that the writers' name be kept secret. Consequently no such communications have appeared in these columns. THE JOURNAL is not averse to publishing the statement of any man who is williug to father hia assertions but must respectfully decline to inaugurate trouble on its own account. It seems that the latest caui,e of friction has been the degrading of a corporal. This has 6tirred up quite a muss and his friends are whooping about it. If present indications hold good there will be war before Cuba or Porto Rico is reached.

Health In Indiana for June, 1M9S. Reports to the state board of health shows the prevalence of an unusual amount of diarrheal, cholera infantum, cholera morbus and dysentery. Badly cooked food and bad drinking water are to be largely charged with this condition. The increase in the above diseases over May exceed 100 per cent.

Tae following diseases decreased in area of prevalence: Tonsilitis, bronchitis, measles, pneumonia, influenza, diphtheria and croup. These are all house diseases and always decrease when outdoor living is possible.

HE SKIPPED.

A Craw fordsvllle Girl Gets Super In tew dent King, of Monroe County, Into Alt Sorts of Complications.

Last Monday evening THE JOURNAL recoived the following special from Hloomington: "Thomas J. King, the young Republican couuty superintendent is a defaulter and forger for over $7,000. When the discovery was made known to-day he left for parts unknown and his oili io haB been drafted, lie forged his wife's name to a mortgage and his father's name to notes. Ho borrowed money from his best friends. A girl at Crawfordsville figures in the case and was responsible for his downfall."

King was well known here, aud was ooo of the bowling team that played here last wintor. THE JOURNAL on Tuesday telephoned to Hloomington for particulars regarding tho Craw fordsvillu girl concerned. She is well known here and of good reputation, She has been attending a business college in Indianapolis and is now at Martinsville with a friend King has been putting up for her right along aud has been visiting her frequently in Indianapolis. Not long ago his wife found a soft letter the Cra w, fordsviile girl had written him aud for a while grim visaged war settled down at liiooruiugtou. The disclosure of the girl's name would cause a Hurry here perhaps.

The Hloomington World gives the following additional particulars of the sensation: .' "During tho last year Tom has induled very freely in the flowing bowl, and has often looked upon the wine when it was red. He never gambled to any great extent, but was freo and easy with money on all occasions. He made numerous trips to Indianapolis, and each time would 'blow in' all his spare change. As usual a woman was at the bottom of his troubles, and this was the chief cause of his downfall. She was a handsome young girl and lived at Crawfordsville. Tom got acquainted with her during one of his visits to Indianapolis. They corres ponded with each other, and would frequently meet in the capital city,

Martinsville, Terre Haute and other towns. She was only twenty years old, aud seemed to be much infatuated with Tom, although she knew he was a married man. Thus the three things —wine, fast women, and crooked politics, any one of which will ruin the strongest man, were too much for Tom —ho gave way to temptation, and end ed in disastrous ruin."

Those Canteens.

General Brooke, in command at Chickamauga, has received countless letters from the ladieB of the Woman' Christian Temperance Union in all parts of the country urging the closing of canteens, the letters showing that most exaggerated statements are all oat in regard to the condition of regimen tal stores. The general, finding it im possible to reply to these letters and deeming it of general importance and due to the friends of the soldiers here has made the following statement the associated press: "No intoxicantB aro sold in the canteens. Beer only is on sale in limited quantities, no one being able to obtain an excess. Nc so'dier is required to servo as sales man or in any other capacity in these stores. 1 he articles sold aro mainly cigars, tobacco and light fi.rms of food Tho store is a regimeutal affair, man aged by the regiment and all profits go to the use of the company. These can teens are by army regulations, a part of the army, and General Brooke has no authority to close them. He has however, ordered close supervision all of them. Careful observation the camp since its establishment has shown that there has been no drunk enness originating with tho canteens and very little from any quarter, ex oept as the moonshiners huvo made se cret sales of whiskey."

Her IMctllire.

The Blooming'ton Tcli'jthfmc speaking in reference to the absconding of Supt. King, of Monroe county, says: "There is evidence that King was much infatuated with a young lady Crawfordsville, whose picture is in the possession of one of his friends, and it is the impression that this fair one "worked" him for hundreds at a time. She knew he was married and held a high position, and thus feeling that she had him in her power, doubtless she levied blackmail. King frequently erj iyed the sights of the capital city in company with the woman, and they are said to have been at Martinsville together recently."

some Ifine Wheat.

A. P. Enoch, near Smartsburg, as usual has an extra fine wheat crop. He threshed this week and one twenty acre field turned out thirty bushels to the acre and a twenty-five acre field of corn land turned out twenty bushels to the acre. The wheat is clean and perfect and will all giade No. 2. Mr. Enoch attributes his success with wheat to early breaking and careful preparation of the soil so that the ground is pulverized as fine as sand. With such preparation and the planting of extra good 6eed wheat Mr. Enoch rarely fails to have a fine crop.

ROUGH ON NEW RICHMOND.

Tire Itreaks Out. There 011 Tnesday and Almost Kuins the Itusiness Portion of the Place.

Tuesday morning at two o'clock fire broke out in the dry goods store of Andrew Townsley at Now Richmond nd before the tire had been subdued the Townsley store was destroyed together with a number of other pieces property. The dry goods and grocery store of 1\ M. Perkins, the residences of Douglas Bunnell and Starr Dunn were destroyed and but for the heroic work of tho citizens of the place tho Perkins livery barn would also also have been destroyed. Tho volunteer fire brigade worked nobly and too much credit cannot bo ascribed to thoso who assisted so materially in saving tho town from total destruction. Tho origin of the fire is un nown aud no one can advance oven a reasonable theory concerning it. The loss of Mr. Townsley is placed at 83,000 and ho has insurance for about half tho loss. The heaviest loser by tho fire is F. M. Perkins, his loss being estimated all tho way from $3,500 to '5,00. lie was only partially insured.?

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

THE JOURNAL Tuesday afternoon received the following letter from New Richmond: "One of the most disastrous fires that ever visited this place, occurred at ,1 o'clock this morning, destroying much property and Starr Dunn and family barely escaping with their lives. How the fire originated is not known. The loss to the property holders is considerable, the losers being as follows: Douglas Bunnell, dwelling, no insurance Andrew Townsley, stock dry goods, slight insurance James Carter, two business rooms, no insurance Starr Dunn, tin shop and dwelling, slight insurance F. M. Perkins, stock dry goods, boots, shoos, etc., also business room and dwelling, small insurance. It was only by heroic efYorts that tho dwelling of Geo. F. Long was saved, thus putting a check to the fire's progress. Mr. Bunnell succeeded in saving his household effects aud F.

M. Perkins saved a small portion of his, but tho rest area total loss. Snyder & Thompson were also losers, they having farm implements and binder twine in one of the Carter rooms.

THE BOARD OF REVIEW.

It Adjourns After Transacting the Itusiness Coming lie Tore It—Most, of the Changes Are in Crawfordsville.

The county board of review adjourned Tuesday, the time given it by the law to transact its business having expired. The board donated its services of Wednesday and finished things up in proper style. As a result of tho board's work tho taxables of the county are considerably augmented. In Crawfordsville the raise waB the largest and, in fact, the only place where there was any material change. The apparent raise in the out townships is really not a raise and the big figures so indicative are caused by the fact that the out township banks and telephone companies were not on the books although the reports were in. Hereafter the telephone companies must pay taxes in each township into which thoir lines extend. Heretofore the whole thing has been assessed for taxation in the township in which the central office is located.

In Crawfordsville the raises and omissions foot up to $-Ki,235 and the reductions to S3,120. In Union township the omissions and gains amount to $1,350 and the losses to $450. In Coal Creek thero is a gain of S770 and a loss of $50. The gains in Now Richmond, Wingate, Ripley, Waynotown and Waveland aro due to the banks and telephone companies. In Brown township thero is a gain of $210 and a loss of $300. Scott shows again of $210 by tho board's work. Madison has a raise of 8210, Franklin a raise of $750, and Sugar Creek no change. In Darlington there is a raise of $1,220 and a loss of $300. Walnut and New Ross show no change. Clark township shows again of $1,(310 and no lo3B. Ladoga gains $l,3GOoand has a loss of $710.

A Disciple of the New Faith. Charley Bandel is very enthusiastic over his work at the American School of Oiteopothy at Kirksville, Mo. He says there are five hundred students in attendance, five hundred persons there taking treatmentand in addition about two hundred and fifty charity patients operated on by the teachers and students. The class of a year ago graduated with forty members, the one of this year with sixty and his class which will get diplomas next year numbers over one hundred.

Getting Hotter,

The family of George Hays, of the 27th Indiana Battery have been notified that while he is quite ill with typhoid fever that he is in no danger and will recover. The doctors state that he is one of the pluckiest patients they have had.

Left Insurance.

Frank McBee, the fireman killed at Silverwood last Friday, left $1,500 life insurance which will go to his widow who was formerly Miss Georgia Funk, of this city.
