Many functional and organic diseases can not lo'cured without, curing the morbid lierTOIJI, condition which accompanies them.

Tlii'M! »rc iWow of the thought-compelling Ideas in the little pamphlet, describing Dr. Milt s' new science of curing- diseases through if.iit! nervous system.

Dr. Miles, whose success in curing- chronic •diseases has made his name known through•nut the United States, Canada and Mexico, litis ollered to distribute SU 0,000 worth of iuedicuI service free.

This offer has already brought, many responds, each ininirer Deing furnished with free reatment. to ili^-extent of $2.00—tuongh to demenstrate tlw.'greater ski :1 and better results in 1).-. Miles' special hom? Uvatnient than in the treatment of the average local physician.

Dr. Miles has had wenty-four years experituce. lie has complete records of nearly 60.000 cases, showing the cause and syniutoms, of each disease and the results of his treatment.

Ho has over 1,000 references to bishops, clergymen, mayors, farmers ana their wives, and as to his financial standing refers to foremost financial institutions In Chicago. These references are sent to inquirers on request.

His discoveries of the influence of the nerves and special nervr centers controlling an organ have given him the power to cure chronic diseases with jwonderful swiftness and certainty. It is his practice to treat the cause of a disease and remove the cause. The average physician is satisfied if he successfull treats and removes the symptom, making the patient feel better temporarily.

Dr. Mites' discoveries of the dlsordersof the brain, spinal cord and nerves, which are causes of disease-i of the heart., stomach, Jlver. and other organs, besides those diseases which everybody recognizes as "nervous," have resulted in cures of hundreds of cases after they had been pronounced hopeless.

Dr. Miles' liberal oiler is still open. Anyone who writes to him desiring to test his method will receive an examination blank on which he can easily describe every symptom. This blank is wouderfutly simple and complete, enabling Or. Miles to lay hold at once of the cause of the disease.

To Celebrate J'eaco.

There is movement on foot here in Crawfordsville toward holding a monster demonstration here in the early fall to celebrate the coming of peace and the achievements of American arms iii the war with Spain. Jf the matu is taken up it will be curried through on a grand scale,

For Fighting

Joe Kimsey, a tough nut from the •east end. was before the mayor l&st Monday in company with Wort Lindamood, the boys having indulged in a digraceful 6treet fi^ht. Both were fined and as Kimsey did not hava money to pay he was ser.t to jail. He was excessively impudent when before the mayor and declared on leaving that his detention in jail simply meant that it would cost the city about five dollars a week to take care of his mother. Kimsey is a thorough degenerate and about as vicious quality of boy as can be found in the state.

Is Aiiioug the Missing.

Many of the people of this city will remember George Bishop and family, who some years Bgo resided here, Mr. Bishop being a blacksmith. They went from here to Canada and later moved to Columbus. Their oldest son, Will, w»o will bo recollected as a bright youngster, enlisted in the I7th Ohio infantry when the war broke out and was therefore in the battle of Santiago. He is reported as among the missing and his parents have written their friends here that it is their belief that he was killed in the action, his body not being recovered.

Crawfordsville lias Them.

Terre Haute Express: The thieves wLo gave the police of this city so much trouble have evidently changed their base of operations to Crawfordsville. At least it is believed to be the same gang that operated here, owing to the similarity of the work. Some fifty houses in Crawfordsville have been broken into, and thus far the police have been powerless to catch any of the criminals. A woman is supposed to be one of the gang. She had a narrow escape from capture at Enightsville and was recognized at the time the postoffice WBB robbed at West Terre Haute.

FAIR DIRECTORS MEET.

They Hold a Meeting Last, Saturday ami Transact Soinn Important Kudinexs— Several Comiuitreos Appointed.

The fair directors held a meeting la6t Saturday and appointed several important committees and arranged and discussed plans for the "only" fair.

A committee was appointed to look after the collection of money for licenses from the various shows which will be upon the ground. There had been some complaint that too much of this money was taken out in complimentary tickets to the attractions and the directors were of the opinion that long green was a ^reat dead more acceptable."

A committee on music was appointed witli W. VV. Morgan as chairman. This committee will endeavor to secure some good music for the fair and are now open for offers from good bands.

Asher Wert was instructed to use his iron sweet will in the selection of police for the grounds during the week o? the fair and no doubt will do so to the satisfaction of all.

A committee was also appointed to secure some special attractions for the fair and will endeavor to get something good for the occasion.

The prospects are very bright for a successful meeting and the secretary is very busy answering inquiries and sending out catalogues.

STRAW BOARD FACTORY.

Crawfordsville Has a Cliance to Get One by Coughing Up tlie sum of Fifteen Thousand Dollars.

A few of the business mon of Crawfordsville last week met in the office of 0. M. Gregg with the representative of one of the largest and best straw board factories, this gentleman wishing to learn what Crawfordsville would be willing to do toward getting the factory to come here. The management is going to move from its present location as conditions which originally took it there have been completely changed and to remain would necessitate the expenditure of $20,000. In view of this fact the management has deemed it advisible to locate elsewhere and believes that this city ia well adapted for its work, having cheap fuel, good railroad facilities and being loaated in a country where there is an ample supply of straw right at hand. The company employs fifty men the year arouutl and pays out over five hundred dollars a week in wages alone. It hub a capacity for U6ing fifteen tons of straw a day and buys this on the field from the farmers within a radius of fifteen miles The company is a thoroughly reliable one and the location of the industry here would undoubtedly be of great financial benefit to the town and county. The matter will be formally presented to the Business Men's Association within a few davs.

l)on't Hurry.

THK JOURNAL in its article the other day did not mean to convey the impression that tax payers who wish their part of the refundment of that gravel road money would have to go to Mr. Shrum if they ever got it. The article seems to have given the impression that Mr. Shrum is the only fountain head from which the taxpayer's can recover. This is so merely for the time being. Those who cannot await the action of the courts will have to resort to him, but those who are willing to await will probably not have to divide with anybody to get their share. Mr. Shrum has a lien on the whole amount and until the legality of this lien is determined only those who recognize it and agree to let him act for them can get what is theirs. Mr. Shrum filed alien ou the amount and attorney Dice fiied a motion to have it striken off Shrum then filed a motion to hrvve the lien determined upon by the ccurt This Jwdge West refused to do. holding that the persons who had noo authorized Mr. Shrum to act for theui were not in court. Until soma of these parties files suit to get his share of the refundment without the recognition of attorney's claims the validity of this lien cannot be ruled upon. Of course the audi:or cannot pay any one until this lien is discharged but he is receiving quite a number of demands from tax payers that he do not allow their shares to be paid out except to them and then free from liens of attorney fees, they having employed no one to represent them in the matter. These demands will await the final settlement of the case by the courts.

The suit against the Big Four railro id, which has been appealed to the supreme court, involves the question of Shrum's right to any fee from persons who did not employ him and if decided for the railroad all then can share without payment of fee to anyone.

The Laugh Oil Wavelaud.

The following is from the Chicago Journal: "Several days ago the members of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian church in Waveland decided to revarnish the pews in the house of worship. For that purpose they purchased a patent preparation, which gave the pews an elegant glo6s and the appearance of being entirely new. Several days later a prominent townsman died and his funeral was held from the church, the auditorium being crowded. When at the close of the service the congregation attempted to arise to sing 'God Be With You Till We Meet Again,' there was trouble, for everyone was stuck fast to his seat. The new varnish had not been properly put on and the result was most disastrous to the Sunday clothes of Waveladd. The episode all but broke up the funeral."

Good Crop Reports,

AN UGLY ACCIDENT

Oiitdl'WIiicli William Iliatt Came Almost ah Good as New, Although It Caused Him to l.ose .First Money

In The IJace.

Those who atteuded the Bainbridge fair last Yhuri-day witnessed a thrilling accident in which William Hiatt of this city played the star part. Mr. Iliatt wits driving his horse, Dr. Allen, a half brother of Quo Allen, in the 2:45 trot and had won the first heat with grace and ease. In the race was an old farmer who was driving a wild plug which he had hitched to aa old fashioned sulkey with great spreading iron hubs and a generally vicious makeup. His horse was wild and mean and when it came to starting the second heat the farmer was unable to hoid the plunging beast, which fairly jumped onto the sulkey of Mr. Hiatt. He was thrown to the grouud with considerable violence and as he struck, the farmer's horse, which had stumbled, came down oa top of him There were cries and shrieks all over the ground and the great crowd ran in expecting to take out a mangled and broken body. It so happened that Mr. Hia'.t wss a tougher knot than they ha.il t'cU../ii-u on, however, for he came out of the sthashup practically uuirjared. He was skinned and somewhat bruised but he ins'sted on patching up his battered outfit and going on with the race. His horse had been rendered very nervous and hence did not show up in good form during the remainder of the race. However, Mr. Hiatt managed to pull out second money, which was doing remarkably well considering the unusual difficulties he experienced.

On Dec. 16, IS.'IT, he was married to Julia Ann Ashwell. To them were born 12 children, two dying in infancy. He came to Indiana in the spring of 1807 and located on a farm two miles east of Ladoga. Early in 1S6S he purchased his present farm, near Whitesville, and resided there until Feb 1897, when he came to Crawfordsville. In 1872 he became a member of the Christian church at Whitesville, and has been a faithful member of that church ever since. He loved to attend Sunday school and church and was one of the leading members. At the time of his death he held the office of elder and trustee. He manifested his Christianity in many ways, always ready to lend a helping hand whenever necessary. He was kind to all. He tried to lead such a life that when the end came he was ready to join those that had already crossed the river of death. He wes a good citizen and had scores of friends be was a kind husbBnd and a loving father. The funeral will occur Tuesday morning at Whitesville, conducted by Rev. O. M. McGaughey. Interment at Harshbarger cemetery. He leaves a wife and 10 children, six boys and four girls: D. C. Wingert, of

When the civil war broke out Mr. Wingert was living on his own farm in Virginia with his wife and three or four 6mall children. He was intensely union in his sympathies but he did not air his views in the strong secession neighborhood. Early in the struggle he was conscripted for the confederate service and was obliged to shoulder arms for the southern cause along with thousands of other unwilling residents of the rebellious states. He served during almost the entire war but during the last few months he was a prisoner at Columbus, Ohio. Except for the fact that his wife and children would have Buffered and his property have been destroyed he would not

From Frank J'ickai'tH.

Frank Pickarts, who formerly resided here aud who is now in Alaska, has written a letter to hie aunt, Mrs. L. A. Foote, of this city, from .St. Michaels, dated July 11. An extract from the letter is as follows: "Brother Charlie and I have just placed an order for over 200 tons of goods for the four trading posts wo have care cf, $35,000 at wholesale price We have 1,100 cords of wood, for which we p^id $4 a cord, to sell to the river boats, and expect tolgot from $7 to $10 a cord for it.

While Mr. Wingert was in the army Mrs: Wingert with a single farm hand, and he of no great use, kept up the farm and supported the family. As soon 6.6 the war closed they boM out for what they could get and came north. Mr. Wingert was a most ardent supporter of the principles of the Republican party, and held that he had particular cause for knowing their beneficence and for realizing what the Ilspublican party had done for the conntry. He was most conscientious in his party work and esteemed his party as next to his religion and his family.
