The county commissioners yesterday completed making the tax levy for 1898. It is presented below and speaks for itself. It, certainly reflects credit on the careful and honest administration, for in every township and school corporation in the county, with the exception of Crawfordsville, there is a material reduction—areduction which, in some places, is astonishing. In Crawfordsville there is a raise of two cents, occasioned by the erection of the Willson school building.

TROUBLE ON COLLEGE STREET.

A Ladoga Horse HUOH Oil" and mines all lviiKlrt of Kxcitemeut—IIua To Ho Shot.

Wednesday afternoon a son of J. M. Harshbarger drove up to the Clark grocery on College street and stopped to water. The horse, a powerful young animal became frightened and ran off, all efforts to stop him being in vain. Fortunately no one was in the buggy or there would probably have been a fatality to chronicle The horse ran directly across the street and tore the sod all off the lawn of Tod Hill's place. Proceeding on to the yard of Frank Humphrey more damage was done. The buffg-y was hurled apainst the lawn.liydrant and this was broken off close to the ground. Water (lowed in torrents- and deluged thi? neighborhood until the men could arrive from the company's otliiie to slop the waste. Proceeding along down the street the frightened horse dashed wildly, terrorizing school children and mornentarily threatening human life. At John street the animal started for the .T. B. Mack barn but in making the turu he fell and broke one of his fore legs as squarsly off as he had broken the Humphrey hydrant. The member hung by a mere thread of skin and the horse hart of course to be shot at once. Strange to say, the buggy was not badly damaged.

cultivation. She is now, by the way on the journey to Germany to contin ue her musical studies. The only criti cism we would offer on the recital was the absence of ballads or some simpler class of music. Her voice is sympathetic, sweet, and of great compass and power. She is unaffected and on appearing at once created a favorable impression on her audience which greeted her warmly. She is not afraid to open her mouth and let her voice pour forth a volume of song and she seemed to easily reach the lowest as well as the highest notes. The little songs "Ghosts" and "A May Morning," were perhaps as charmiDg as anything ever heard in Rockville. In part I, Miss Thomson first gave a free translation of the German songs by Franz that the audience might have a better understanding of ttie sentiment We are sure that Miss Thomson's career will b.» watched with much interest by those who were fortunate enough to hear her Thursday night."

Warned by Glenn Uoppage.

Officer Dolan, of Michigan City, who last winter killed Harry Wilson, of Crawfordsville, testified in his own behalf the other day. Among other things he said that Glenn Coppage, of Crawfordsville, had warned him to look out for Wilson as he was a bad man and had it in for the officer.

Joe Allen was on the Btand and gave Wilson BB bad a name as he possibly could. .He testified among other things that Maurice Gibson had told him that Wilson was too tough for him (Gibson) to associate with. Gibson later went on the stand and denied having had any such conversation with Allen..

WILL LEAVE CAMP MOUNT.

The Indiana Sol»li«rs Will bo Allowed to Hustle Home This Week.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The present indications are ttiat by Saturday night Camp Mount will be desertod of soldiers, except a few who are to be left on guard. Both the 158th and 159th will be furloughed and at home by that time unless something unexpected happens to detain them. Both regiments will be furloughed by companies orally, and this is a process soon accomplished.

Yesterday the 159th was paid ofY by Mej. Cleland, an additional paymaster of the Chicago department, who scattered 824,000 among the soldiers. It was composed of crisp, now bills and shining silver direct from the subtreasury and never used before. As usual, the money was hauled out in an ambulance protected by a strong guard of soldiers. Each private received pay for the month of August, amounting to S15.G0.

Col. Baruett said last night that the boys of his regiment will probably got away Saturday morning. He will leave behind a guard of sixty-five men, which he hopes to fill with volunteers. The prospect is that there will bo enough volunteers and that lie will not have to make a detail.

Col. Smith, of the 158th, was predicting last night that his men will be home by Saturday night at the latest. This morning at 9 o'clock he will -hold a conference with Lieut. Waterman, the mustering-out officer, to determine whan the men shall be furloughed. Col. Smith says that so far as he knows there is nothing to hinder them from being furloughed at any time. The property accounts are all settled and the men have already received their pay. They are anxious to get home and may possibly get away to-morrow.

Letter From Will Schlemmor. The following is a portion of a letter received by a friend from Will Schlemmer, dated Jacksonville, Fla Sept. 13: "White and I are well. We and two others are all that remain of the Indiana volunteer signal corps, as you probably know seven of the corps decided to stick. The day following, however, one of our little 6quad, Louis Callison, of Warsaw, Ind died sudden-ly,-before we could summon the doctor. We had a mounted funeral escort to the station. An empty saddle represented where our dear departed comrade should have been. Since then two of the remaining six weakened and were re-transferred to the Indiana boys and will leave with them for Indianapolis to-morrow. We are now building a telegraph line to Pablo Beach, a distance of twenty miles. White is on duty as operator at the second division headquarters, but as we are bunkmates, and there are no policemen about, we get time to tell each other our troubles at night. The weather is becoming cool and pleasant, this being the month of equinoctial storms. We had an obnoxious visitor last night in the form of a monster tarantula. G. Raymond immediately endeavored to ensconce himself beneath me, but as I did not wish to re|Idaho, ceive our caller either we held a brief council of war, the consequence of which was our decision to bolt, taking the tent with u?. 1 do not remember which camp we spent the remainder of the night in, but we succeeded this morning in collecting the remnants af our little home. The corps expects to leave in advance of the army for Cuba some time next month."

Union Township School Note*. There are 43 teachers employed in the township.

There will be nine new teachers in the township schools this term. Music will be a prominent part in education in all of the schools.

The New Market schools will be open about the miedle of October. High school privileges will be given at Nos 8, 17, 20, 22, 30, 33 and 36.

Schools will be open Monday, Sept. 19, and every child in the township is wanted in the school the first day, and should remain the entire year.

The township institutes will be held on the first and third Saturdays of October, November, December, January and February. D. H. Giikey will have both sessions in charge.

Looks Lik6 Dr, Brumbaugh* Atchison, Kan., Champion: People who have seen photographs of Admiral Camara, commander of Spain's last remaining squadron, say that he looks enough like Rev. E. H. Brumbaugh to be a brother. One of the popular magazines has a half tone of the admiral this month and it has considerable resemblance to the popular Dr. Brumbaugh, who for five years was pastor of the M. E. church here It is safe to state, however, that they are no relation, as Dr. Brumbaugh is of German descent.
