THE GOLDEN RULE.
SAD DEATH.
Fred C. Hurt of tlio Volunteer Medii Corps, Die* of Typhoid Ke\er lit lTortrcns Monroe.
Last Tuesday Dr. VV. J. Hurt, of Waynetown, received a telegram from Fortress Monroe announcing- that his son, Dr. Fred C. Hurt of the volunteer medical corps was dying- of typhoid fever at that place. Dr. Hurt hurried ly be^au his preparations for leaving for Virginia but an hour later a second message was received stating that Fred hud died that morning at Live
CIOCK. The body ivan hhippud to Waynetown for burial. Fred C. Hurt was one of the best Uno vnand most popular young men in Montgomery county and the news of his death will orove a shock to his many frimids in Orawfordfivi] le and oloawhera lie was born at Waynetown twenty two years ago and there received his early education. For several years he acted a» the Waynetown correspondent of 1
Mi': JOUKN'AI. and was ono of
the most- efficient writers ever connected with the paper. Several years ago he came to CrawfordBville and entered Wabash college in the class of 08. He attended college here for three years, when he left two years ag-o to enter the Indiana medical college at Indianapolis.
During his college career here in this city Fred was very popular with all and took a high rank in the class room. He was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and was a favorite in society. After entering the medical college identified himself with the Knights of Pythias and was regarded as one of the brightest members of that order in the countv. Immediately upon the outbreak of the war with Spain he tendered his services to the country and was accepted as a member of the medical corps. He went toChickamaugaand was stationed there until about two weeks ago when his parents had a letter from him as ho was on the point of leaving for Newport News to embark for Porto Rico with General Brooke. They were expecting to hear from him every day that he bad landed safely in Porto Rico and their shock on hearing of his death at Fortress Monroe can be imagined. It seems that he was taken ill just previous to the departure of his corns and was left, behind. The death is a peculiarly sa"d one for hia was certainly a life of great promise and his untimely end can hardly bo reconciled. He was preeminently possessed of the highest attributes of manhood and his death is a positive loss to the community.
Pension Department Order. The pension department has issued an order on the necessity of enforcing the regulations governing the execution of pension vouchers. It is the intention of the bureau where the facts warrant such action to institute criminal proceeding against parties who indulge in illegal practices by which post-dating, false certificates, claims and "stock'' witnesses have become factors in the acknowledgment of pec6ion vouchers. It is, therefore very important that the ruling in reference 1 producing pension certificates and vouchers be very carefully complied with in the future.
U. n. Ice Cream Social.
The ice cream social at the residence of Rev. A. F. Surface near Stump school house, Union township, was a grand success Proceeds 14 85. Much credit is due H. C. Elliott for his faithfulness in selling the tickets and Geo. Barnes in taking them up. Especial mention of thanks is due Brother John Steele for his hard labor in providing the cream and other brethren and sisters and neighbors for labor, cakes, etc to secure the grand success.

VIGOROUS DENUNCIATION

To the Kditor Tho Journal. GAS CITY, Ind., August S, lv3S. Tn a
recent issue of Tin: .Jour.N'AI. I notice there is a possibility of securing a straw board works at Orawfordsville 1 would beg those of our citizbns having the matter in hand to thoroughly investigate the desirability of such a plant, before giving it oncouragempiit. Come here,, or go anywhere that a plant of tho kind is in operation. Investigate as to the number of hands employed, wages paid, price of straw and any other advantage claimed for it. '1 hen smell its horrible stench. See how it, befoul.J ibo streams. How it kills the tish, then it, deposits filth along the banks of the streams on which spring up rank growth of weeds and willows choking the channel causing overflow and consequent damage to farm property, and if I am not mistaken money would be raised at home to fight the location o^ such a plaut rather than pay §15,000 to have such a nuisance. Crawfordsville needs foctories to give employment to labor, but in my opinion can't afford to have one of this sort at any price. Plenty of our citizens know this to bo true, and all may by investigating. The evidence is abundant wherever a straw boftrd plant is in operation. D. W. Cox
ORDERS FOR MONEY.
important ltuling* 011 Tiirilt' l,:itr.
tlio New
Hon. D. W. Henry, of Terre Haute, collector of internal revenue of this district, has received a circular letter from Hon. N. 13. Scott, of Washington, commissioner of internal revenue, in which the latter makes an important ruling under the new revenue law in regard t.r building and loan associations. In substance the decision follows:
Building'and loau associations are required to stamp the orders given by the secretary upon the treasurer of the association for money in favor of its members on loans made or on withdrawals of deposits accumulated. Stamps are required if such orders are made payable at the bank. "In case the treasurer, in payment of such orders as such treasurer, gives.a check on a bank against funds deposited in the name of the association such checks require a revenue stamp. "Building and loan associations that make loans only to their shareholders are exempt from the tax on stocks and bonds issued, but not on checks or orders for the payment of money. "All such orders issued since July l, are subject to this tax and the 6ame rule applies to orders for money from secretaries to trea urers of ledges."
A Great Sliow.
So says the PitVhburg Dispatch of May 25: "The great Wallaoe shows opened a two days' engagement at Exposition park yesterday afternoon and the programme presented was the best seen in this city for years and was greeted with salvos of applause. The acrobatic efforts of the Nelson family, the greatest in their line in the world, wero simply marvelous the Angeloa are the equals of any ilyiug artists in the business, and the grand ballet, led by tho famous Mme, Maecari. was a new departure in a circus performance and one that was greatly appreciated. There were innumerable acts by first class artists, while a Bmall army of really funny clowns kept the audience convulsed by their absurdities. The show scored a great success."

Good Ouartei-H Secured^
J. 11. Bonnell, C. R. Snodgrass and J. F. Warfel have returned from Pittsburg, where they went last week to secure quarters for the Crawfordsville people who expect to attend the trien nial conclave of the Knights Templar in October. The committee succeeded in securing excellent quarters just across the river in Allegheny City. The quarters are in a fine three-story residence in the middle of a Bplendid park and are both desirable and commodious. "The street cars pass right by the doo$" and nothing more to the letter could be asked for.

OUTRAGE.
Tim ir.Mli Indian 1» superceded lly Keglmenr* of lai- 111 l'eiioi- Merit anil Croat Indignation I'revails.
A member of the lfSt,h Indiana regiment, of which tho Crawfordsville company is a part, writos home as follows:
"\ory little has happened in the past week in the camp of the ir^th Indiana volunteers outside of the ordinary run of events. Another time the boys have been disappointed in their desir.' to go to the front. It was undetsiooti that all of the first corps was toiollow General Brooke, but this regiment is left behind by those who f^o to make up General Wtvde's corps. Regiments which have not been in the service half as long as this one are taken. The 158th agrees to outdrill, outfight, outehoot or outeat any other regiment in this camp, yet regiments which havo had only four or five regimental drills since they were mustered into the service are taken and this one is left behind. Llowever, like tho true soldiers that they are, they accept what seems to be the inevitable with the customarjr grumbling, and have settled down to their work, now hoping that they may yet be sent to Cuba to help take Havana, if necessary. 1 he fact that peace soems assured leaves them nothing to hope for unless it be as part of an army of occupation.
Colonel Smith is again in command of the second brigade. Colonel Thayer is now in command of tho regiment. This morning this brigade had a review iu heavy marching order. The entire camp was torn down and everything WHS packed into wagons. The men carried their ponchos, shelter tents, haversacks, canteens and cups, knives, forks and spoons. Everything in the camp was put in the wagons, and Col. Smith, as acting brigadiergeneral, with his staff, reviewed the troops. The review took place in the second field west of our camp. The first West Virginia regiment maruhed out first, then the 158th Indiana, then the sixth Ohio. First came the troops, then the wagon train, and, last of all, the ambulance train. The entire columu was about four miles long. The troops were back in their camp about 10 clock, and had their camp re-es-tablished before dinner. All other drills were declared off for to-day, though the weekly inspection took place this afternoon, Colonel Smith and his staff inspecting the brigade. The war department has recommended that board floors be placed in all the tents of the men, another indication that the troops are to remain here a long time.

DEAR MRS.PINKHAM:—I think it is my duty to write to you andtellyou what Lydia
E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound has done for
me. I feci liko another woman. lh ad such dreadful headaches through my* temples and on top of my ,'S/ head, that I nearly went crazy wasalso troubled with chills,wasvery weak my left side from my shoulders to my waist pain
ed me terribly. I could not sleep fop the pain. Plasters would help for a while, but as soon as taken off, the pain would be just as bad as ever. Doctors prescribed medicine, but it gave men relief "l*ow I feel so well and strong, have no more headaches, and no pain in side, and it is all owing to your Compound. I cannot praise it' enough. It is a wonderful medicine. I recommend it to every woman know."
