'Tin Not True.

A report 16 in circulation that Ring ling's circus is booked here Wednesday, Sept. 7. The wish is probably father to the report, for it is a false one. Brother Ringling will probably not visit us this year and if he does it will not be before October.

DEATH OF JOSEPH TOWNSLEY.

A Former Resident of This County Suddenly In Indianapolis.

Joseph Townsley, aged 50 years, died on Saturday night about 12 o'clock at his home in Indianapolis. He had been ill for nearly five years but was able to be about and was the guest of his brother Mace hero in June. Two hours before his death he returned from down town and was apparently as well as usual. The funeral occurred on Monday at his home and the body was brought here for interment, arriving on the Big Four at 8:55 Tuesday morning and being taken directly to Oak Hill.

Joseph Townsley was a son of Jere Townsley and was born and raised in this county. When the war broke out he was only 15 years of age but was BO

determined to enlist that he ran off and after several unsuccessful efforts he was finally admitted to the 124th Indiana regiment in which he served with distinguished credit, After the war he began railroading and followed that vocation until obliged by ill health to retire. He was married about twenty years ago to Miss Carrie Beckman, of Louisville, and one child, a daughter now 1C years of age, is left to mourn with her mother. Mr. Townsley was a pleasant gentleman and had an enviable reputation for uprightness and devotion to his duty. Do had hundreds of friends here and all will be saddened to learn of his death.

THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.

No Steps Yet Taken to Disbatul It—125,000

Soldiers Needed*

The following Washington dispatch will be of peculiar interest ia many Crawfordsville homes: "Thus far the question of the disbandment of the volunteer army has not been given serious consideration by the war officials. A considerable force necessarily will have to be maintained for several months, perhaps a year. In the opinion of the war department officials this force will be about 125,000 men. It will be kept in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, principally, although a few troops will be stationed among the various forts in this country. How the arrny will be disbanded has not been determined. It is likely that the volunteer troop3 now in Porto Rico, o-, rather, so many of them as may not be needed there, will be brought back to the United States and then furloughed from the camps of mobilization pending their actual discharge from the service of the United States. It is probable that this method of disbanding the army will be followed in the case of all of the volunteer troops. At present it seems unlikely that the strength of the United States forces will be materially weakened pending the results of the labors of the peace commission. "Orders have been issued for the departure of troops from San Francisco to the Philippines, and it is said at the war department that those orders will not be revoked on account of the suspension of hostilities."

DESliitTlXO TIIK KLONDIKE.

Gamblers LfJivijij* tli** Lnml of Gold lie* ttiittoM ot ii.ud Xiitic.4. Now Harmony, Ind., Aug. 16.—Harmony Kid (Lawrence Yarner) of this place, known throughout southern diana, has returned from the Klondike, not pleased with his experience. He reports that till of the gamblers are leaving tTio gold region, and are going away broke. "When the ru3h to the Klondike began," says the Harmony Kid, "many gamblers flocked tlu-re, expecting to get rich. Not one hundredth part of the miners in Alaska spend their time in gambling. The reason of it, I suppose, is that they have no money.

When one man gambles there will bo 100 spectators standing around, watching him in amazement. Out of the 30,000 claims in the Klondike, not over 100 are paying, :«.nd many of the miners are destitute. There are very few people up there getting rich, and the gamblers always shun a place where there is no money."

Compressed Air Locomotive. A compressed air locomotive is "to be tried on the Manhattan Elevated Railway of New York City. The compressed air locomotive or motor is little more than a long black cylinder, similar to the boiler of the present locomotive, with the cab at one end. There will be no smokestack, no tender and no dome. The only protuberances on the cylinder besides the cab will 'be the whistle and the sand-box.

ACCORDING to a celebrated anatO' mist there are upwards of 5,000 little glands in the human stomach. These glands pour out the digestive juices which dossolve or digest the food. Indigestion is want of juice, weakness of glands, need of help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural, because it supplies the materials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion certainly and permanently. It does so by natural means, and therein lies the secret of its wonderful and unvaried success.

I RORXD NOTHING WUONG.

State Dourd of di:irlties Investigate the Kvansvilte Insane Mi.sj)it.al. Indianapolis, Aug. l(i.—The board of state charities has returned from Evansville, where it went to investigate a charge of nepotism aud a report that a child had been born in the Southern Hospital l'or the insane. Seereituy Butler says the question received a thorough investigation, and the hospital management is relieved ol' all responsibility. The mother was an inmate of the county inlirmary rur along time, and frequently ran away from that institution. The board found nothing to criticise in the management of the hospital, the charge of nepotism being unfounded.

Fifty Years A^o Will Hold it Re* union at Morristown. Morriftowu, Ind., Aug. 10.—Next Thursday Dr. O. F. Fitch will hold the annual reunion of his old pupils in a park at the edge of town. The venerable teacher is now past 80 years, and there will be gathered around him the children of 40 and 50 years ago, now gray-headed men and and women, as well as his younger pupils, who are now all past choir majority. These annual reunions area source of great satisfaction to the doctor as well as to the pupils.

Peculiar Cornstalk.

Shelbyville, Ind., Aug. 10.—Albert Dobbins, a larmer, brought to town a cornstalk bearing one ear of corn that is a curiosity. The stalk is a pure purple in color lrom the top to bottom and the shuck is of the same bright hue, as is the cob of the ear. The blades are pure green and the grain is white. The stalk is the only one in the fieid, aud none like it was ever seen before in this section. The colors are not mere streaks of an indefinite shade, but are solid and bright.

Mouse and Diamonds.

The Western New Yorker, of Warsaw, New York, tells a very singular story. Mrs. Corning of that city, being engaged with some household duties, took ofl two diamond rings and put them into a cup in the china closet. Shortly afterward she opened the closet door, and screamed at the sight of a mouse, or rather at the sight of a ring in the mouse's mouth. The mouse vanished, and then Mrs. Coming looked into the cup. Both were gone. A carpenter was summoned in haste, and after taking up a part of the floor and making a prolonged search, he found the creature's nest In it were the two rings. If Mrs. Corning had not happened to open the door at that moment, what detective could ever have guessed wliat had
