.V THOSE BONDS. IT IS NANNIE.

Itv the

The time for Uiei subscription of vcrument war bjndh in sums of less than $300closed last Thursdav, and it is estimated that of tbe S-'UO,00'),000 asked for ever SISO.OOO.OOO has tx'?ri subscribed for by the people in sums of the denomination imjutioned or lees. Applications for bonds in sums of more than $300 are on file in Washington to the sum of eicjht times the whole amount asked for. As the small investors are to be t.er\ea first there will be mighty little or nothing left for those who wish to invest large sums in these interest bearing beauties.

In Crawfordsville applications for bonds in suins of less than §500 were taken at the postotiiee and the three banks. Inquiry last Friday developed the fact that over

$50,000

in bonds

have been applied for by tho people of this city and community. As all the money order postoflice6 in the county received applications it is safe to say that something like 8100,000 in bonds will be distributed among the people of this county in the near future. As no one party will have oyer SHOO worth the showing for the whole people is a very good one.

SEEN BY WILL WOOD-

The Lad Writes of the Great So Fight Oil' the Coast of Cuba.

Will Wood,who used tobj a frecjuent visitor here, and who attracted considerable notoriety by reason of his connection with the Pearl Bryan murder case, is now a yeoman on the battleship Iowa. Tbe following extract from a letter to hif father, the Rev. D. M. Wood, of Lebanon, is quite interesting: "After the Iowa had finished the Maria Teresa and Oquenda she started for the Vizcaya, which orilj' needed our assistance at that time. Wo lowered our boats and saved 264 Spaniards. Among theEe were twenty-four officers, Sir Don Antonio Eulate Fery, captain: Sir Don Rolan Fossi, executive officer:Sir Don Franco Javier Omiega Baracena, lieutenant commander, and twenty-one more. After all the men were aboard the captain came off. I am sure it was the grandest sight I ever saw. The captain was wounded in three places and could not walk. He was hoisted aboard in a chair. As he was coming over the 6ide he raised his urm to his head, took off his hat and saluted his ship three times. At the time she was a mass of flames and black smoke as high as the eye could reach. He raised himself up out of the chair and saluted Capt. Evans, then with a longing look around at nis men, with one more salute to his ship he loosed his belt and sword, pressed it to his lips, and with a tear falling on it, presented it to Capt. Evans, and when our captain refused to take it lie hugged it to his breast like a child. His men crowded around him and kissed his hand, falling over each other to ba firBt. Just as he was going down the ladder the boilers exploded on the

Vizcaya, sending a volume of steam up to a height of 2,000 feet and with the tears rolling down his face he cried out, "Bravo Vizcaya, no mos, no mos." I never saw a man in such distress before in my life, and he certainly had my sympathy—but such is war. There were 36 wounded out of the 264 prisoners and five others died in the boats before they reached the ship. I have seen disfigured bodies but never such as I saw yesterday. I will not attempt to describe it to you, only that they resembled 'meat that had been run through a chopping machine. We worked on them until midnight last night. Our senior surgeon and apothecary were sent tc the army to assist there, so we were short-handed. I thought probably there was something I could do, so I went down and went to work, and I must say it was the worst job I ever had and I was tempted innumerable times to leave, but stuck it out. "When we came back from the wreck of the Vizcaya to the wrecks of thu Maria Teresa and Oquendo, we picked up the head of the Spanish navy in these waters, Admiral Cervera and his staff. But very few of the entire number of prisoners had any clothes on at all. The admiral only had on a suit of underclothes. They discarded them to swim ashore, but the Cabana were waiting there to kill them so they swam back to us. You know Cubans do not take prisoners. If they are close enough to capture they are close enough to kill."

Tnrc or

una i,

nounced on the strength of a telegram from Bioomington, that Superintendent King, of Monroa county, was a defaulter for Sil.OOO and a refugee from justice all because hs had fallen into the toils of a Crawfordbvillo girl. It was stated at the time that the girl concerned had always stood well here and that she had been attending a business college at Indianapolis when ebe met King. The namo of the girl given by the party at Bioomington, who apprised The Jouunal of the sensation, was one which occasioned considerable surprise in. this office eo au investigation was quietly begun. The very first bit of information obtained took the wind all out of the sails. The •young lady named by the Bioomington informant of Tijk Joukxal had nevei been in attendance at au Indianapolis bus-iness college and in fact had not been in that city for a year. About this time the Bioomington World announced that a drutrgist of that city, who had been a great friend of King, had a picture of the girl which King had left with him when be lied for parts unknown." Thk Jouhnai. wrote to Bioomington and succeeded in having tbe picture sent to this office for inspection. It arrived last Saturday and when the wrapper was removed it disclosed the sweet and fasciuating features of Nannie Rosebaum of precious memory. The picture is a work of art and reveals the fact that Nannie was wearing mighty good clothes when it was taken, the gown baing of white satin with pearl passamentrie trimmings. It is made decollette and shows the charmer oft' to the best possible advantage. She looks so shy and innocent that it is no wonder that the foxy Mr. King thought, she was au innocent little business college student and concluded that 6ht was adapted to his purposes. 1 the story from

Bioomington is correct, however, 6he showed him a trick or two that made him think he was up against thfl real thing. According to the story she held him up for all he was worth and forced him into borrowing large sums of money and into forging his father's name to notes and his .wife's name to a mortgage on her farm. King had picked sweet little Nannie up for a victim aud she victimized him in a manner beautiful to behold. She used, all the time she was working him, the name of a respectable girl of this city and King really thought, it is said, that she was a student at a business college. Nannie is said to be now at Martinsville with a girl from Craw fordsville who has figured in one or two senations here.

The history of Nannette Rosebaum is a rather sad one. It has not been a great while since she was an innocent school girl up about Linden. She was beautiful and gullible and thoBe two attributes are a bad combination Right here it might be 6aid that while Nannie is still beautiful she is no longer gullible. But she was when her troubles began and they began with young Mr. Dunkle, of Linden The first the public knew of what was going on was when she 6ued Dunkle for "trifling with her affections." He compromised the case and for a season Nannie was apparently all right, holding a position in a local music store She soon began to get very gay again, however, and finally drifted to Indianapolis. There she set up in elegant style and, thanks to such suckers as King, ehe has managed to make out pretty well ever Bince. She has been here for several visits since she left and on one occasion a young man of this city was very devoted. He was thought to be the whole thing, until one fine day a man named Barrett, from Indianapolis, appeared on the scene and he and Nannie were gloriously married. Their married life was evidently brief but interesting, for it wasn't long before Nannie was free again. It tnay be that in using the name of another girl living here she did so inadvertently. She may have given him the first name that came to her mind when they met and have acted innocently of intentional wrong toward another girl.

Killed In California.

The papersMonday announced that a man murdered in California last week has been identified as F. N. Allen, whose parents reside at Rockville. Some here think that the man may be Dr. Frank Allen, who at one time attended Wabash College. Dr. Allen is a brother of Homer Allen, '05, and is supposed to be located at Beatrice, Neb.

BLAZING CORNSTALKS.*

K:ur of tho Kirlcs at l.ituh'n aro l4»st ro\ed Sunday Moi'niuic !y The Lous ik Considerable,

Sunday morning about 3 o'clock Linden had more excitement than she had tho time tho telegraph operator *hot a tramp. At the hour 6tated it was discovered that fire had broken out among the immense ricks of cornstalks which were destined to bo used by the celluloso factory. Tho tire burned fiercely and tho dense cloude of stiioke could be seen for miles around. The citizens of Linden did their best but before they managed to get the fire under control four of the great ricks of stalks had been destroyed. Many tons of stalks wore burned and the loss is something quite material, as tho stalks were paid for at the rate of S3 per ton. Tho origin of the fire is unknown but it was presumably caused either by a spark from a passing railroad train or from spontaneous combustion.

TO ENFORCE BIRD LAW.

.Steps to l'r^vont. tho Wanton Destruction ol I'Yathortid Songsters.

The Indiana Audubon Society is taking steps to enforce the bird laws. Secretary G. S. Gottman, of Irvington, has issued a circular setting forth the purposes of the society and calling attention to tho Indiana laws on the killing of birds. The law saye:

'That it shall be unlawful for any person to kill any wild bird, other than a game bird or purchase, offer for sale any such wild bird after it has been killed, or to destroy the nests or the eggs cf any wild bird. "Any perBon violating the provisions of section 1 of this act shall, upon conviction, bo fined in a sum not less ths.n $10 nor more than S50, to which be added imprisonment for not less than five days, or more than thirty days,

'The law authorizes the Indiana Academy of Science to issue permits to parsons who may desire to collect birds' eggs for scientific purposes. To obtain the permit tho applicant must file a bond of 8200 with the organization. The 'closing law' designates the time when game birds may be killed."

Kecoinmoiuled Care.

Before the county board of review adjourned the other day it attached to its report a couple of recommendations to the township assessors. The first of these was to the effect that greater care should be taken in the work of assessment that uniformity may be preserved. It developed during the late session of the board that similar pieces of property would be assessed on a radically different basis because different deputies passed on their value without consultation. The Becond recommendation was that great care should be exercised in the appointment of deputies next year as the real estate of the county is to then be assessed. Incompetent men can cause no end of trouble and in justice in work of this diilicult character and it is necessary that only the bost qualified assistants be chosen.

His Aflianced.

Veedersburg Kcws: The drowning of Rev. Norris, of Crawfordsville, last week caused many a sad heart in this county, as it was only to know this bright young man to have a high respect for him. His future looked so bright and promising that it seems awful to think the summons should be as'it wae, but he died trying to save the life of another, that tells tbe kind of a man he wae. The writor has known him for some time. We admired his ability and we respected his friendship, and we received the sad news of his death with profound regrets. When he came to this county to battle for right he settled at Waterman and called that his home. He was engaged to a daughter of Henry Randolph, one of our county's most highly respected citizens, and they were to have been married this fall. She is a most estimable young lady, and the shock has caused her more sorrow than it is possible to describe.

Gen. Miles Knows film.

Cleveland, O U'orW: Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army of the United States, was asked during his recent visit to Cleveland if he had ever met Pawnee Bill. "Oh, yes," he replied, "I have met him frequently on the frontier. Gordon W. Lillie. or Pawnee Bill aB he is better known in the west, now has a large ranch in Oklahoma, at which I was once a guest. He was made white chief of the Pawnees and commanded a company of Pawnee scouts who did splendid service for the government. Afterwards, aB Major Lillie he was given a battalion of Indian police or cavalry. The major is one of the moBt noted

SPORTY'S GRAVE.

itih inks Cut l'| in That Ouiu tor of tho

(Ilnho Cmm's ConsidorKhlo 'I rnuhlo lor Certain Hstimahlo J'eoplo.

A dead dog, a dead chicken, a desecrated grave, a free fight, a big drunk, a man in lil, several "ladies" fined— all these woes are resultant on a dog fight. Some time ago El/,y Doyle was peacefully pursuing his way along in front of l'ete VanLeven's place near the iron bridge when "Sport," the big pot bull dog of tho VanLeven family, rushed out and without proper cause or provocation jumped onto the puny pup which accompanied lilzy aud proceeded to chew its ears oil. Mr. Doyle is pretty handy with his guu and before "Sporty" had fairly begun his fun there was sharp report and the beloved of the VanLeven's had crossed over the river of death to rest forever in the shade of the trees. As may be imagined there was all kinds of sor-^ row in the VanLeven camp and Mrs.

VanLeven, the wife of tho estimable Pete, was especially sorrowful, refusing to be comforted. She made "Sporty" a nice grave right in front of the house and ou this mound she planted pretty fiowers. The llowerB flourished and "Sporty" aa fertilizer showed up in a good deal better form than when in the days of his life he ambled out in the road to sample the legs of passing bicyclers. Mrs. Pete watched the grave with a solicitude born of affection and of love and literally watered it with her tears. The flowers as we have said grew apace and their bright blossoms bespoke the virtues of the departed while their odor, exhaled through night and through day, was redolent of his precious memory. Hard by the VanLeven'B resides Mr. Billy Doyle, a brother of the hated murderer of the sainted "Sporty." In the family of Mr. Billy Doyle was a pet chicken (notice the past tense, please) and this chicken was the joy of the household. This hen was not without its frailties, but was nevertheless loved. One of Mr.

Doyle's friends once in a facetious mood composed the following lines in the chicken's honor: Billy had a little hen most feminine and queer, Sho always laid when oggs were choap And quit when tlioy were dear.

In an evil hour this hen, which scratched for worms under the euphonious name of Phyllis, wandered into the yard of the VanLevenB and onto the grave of the lamented "Sporty." Phyllis waB just making those flowers fly when to the door came Mrs. VanLeven, gun in hand. There was a sharp report, not disBimilar to that incident to the departure of "Sporty," and when the smoke cleared away Phyllis was scattered all over the front yard. There may have been rejoicing in hen heaven but there was lamentation in the Doyle household. This was on Friday evening and on Saturday Peter VanLeven was arrested for slaying the hen and was duly fined. He went to jail to lay it out and this disposition of him caused his wife tQ feel that some sort of demonstr&tioti ehould be made. Accordingly Mr. Belva Ellis, a buck from Waynetown, and Miss Mabel Watson were invited in. Beer flowed profusely and the sound of revelry could be heard for half a mile. While the fun was the most furious along came Mr. Billy Doyle happy in the thought that his enemy Pete was fighting fleas down at the jail house. The sight of Billy was more than the revelers could stand and he was set upon furiously by the trio. Miss Watson struck him in the back of the head with a large stone, and the others did all they could to make Billy wish that he was with hiB brother down at Santiago where all is peace. He finally managed to escape alive and coming up town sent the police to the scene of action. The whole push of lushers was run in and all were duly fined Sunday morning by the mayor. The ladies found some angel to go their bail and are now at liberty. Pete is still in involuntary retirement.

He Whs l/"ud»r Age,

H. W. Cox, who until a day or so ago was a member of Company M, arrived in the city last Friday, having been discharged from the service. It Beems that h6 is only seventeen years of age and obtained admission by misrepresenting his length of days. His mother made a roar to the government and after the usual red tape run the lad waB bodily fired from the sarvice, much to his disgust. Cox 6ay6 that he never had such a good time as he was having in the army and never expects to again. He was getting all he wished to eat and was having no end of fun. He says that all the boys are well and that even Henry Shoemaker, who&e death was expected for awhile, *LQ rA. ported for duty.
