Immediately after noon the people began to stream toward the Big B'our station, and long before the hour of the train's arrival all approaches to the place were blocked. There were hundreds upon hundreds who simply couldn't get within shouting distance Flags fluttered and the committee fairly had to claw its way to a front place on the platform. The train rolled in on time, and as the boys, bronzed and burned, loaded down with their equipment, came tumbling off the cars, they were greeted by enthusiastic shouts, by the clapping of hands, and the waving of Hags and handkerchiefs. The parade was quickly formed and the march begun. The mounted marshals were W. T. Whittington, Capt. Talbot and \V. \V. Goltra. Following them came the band and then the veterans of the great civil war. They

Last Saturday W. T. Whittiugton received a telegram from Captain Wilhite of Company which simply stated that the company would return home on tha afternoon train. In less than five minutes the electric light whistle had been blown and every body in town knew that the boys would be with us tbat afternoon. The morning was a busy one for the com-mittec-s and those who were helpiug in the work of preDdration. The Y. M. C. A. gymnasium was turned over to the ladies and was transformed into a handsomely decorated dining room in less than no time. The place was hung all over with llags and banked all over with Bowers.

the reassembling of the 158th regiment take place in Crawfordsville on the expiration of the furlough on Oct. IS. This is the first day of the big strec-t fair and tho presence of the regiment here would be a great feature. The camp would be in the fair grounds and that is a much more desirable place than Camp Mount. The regimental ofiisers are said to favor the project and a great effort will be made to push the thing through

Craivfordsville Will Slake a Great KflTort to Secure tlie Reassembly of the 158tli Regiment at This l'lace.

If the thing is possible the 15Sth regiment will reassemble at Crawfordsville on the expiration of the thirty days' furlough it is now enjoying. The furlough expires on October 18, the day that the Crawfordsville street fair begins and it is patent to everybody that the added attraction of the regiment would be a great thing not only fAr the fair but for the town. Col. Smith of the regiment is in hearty sympathy with the move and so is Lieutenant Waterman, of the regular army, who is the mustering officer. The other regimental officers are also in accord with the plan and Governor Mount has promised to lend his influence Congressman Landis has promised his cooperation and Senator Fairbanks has been appealed to.

A PROSPEROUS WEST.

Colonel .John C. V. invito Keturns From a Ne\eral Umit lis' Trip Throiiijli ltusy Country.

Colonel John C. Wingate is homo from a several months' trip through the northwest and came down to Crawfordsville Friday to tell tho condition of affairs out there to tho Democratic press of Crawfordsville, which two years ago was calling out that if free silver didn't carry that tho great west would be depopulated and. utterly ruined. "The people out west," said Col. Wingate last Friday, haven't any fifty cent dollars but they huvo plenty of one hundred cent dollars, something they haven't had for soma time. Money is more plenty now and is cheaper in the west than it ever was before. Interest rates have been cut in two and the banks arc full of the good stuff. I had tho bebt trip in my whole career as a furm implement, salesman and I want to say right here that the farm implement factories have simply been swamped this year. This pleasant trouble began labtseason and this year it has climaxed. ULie west is all right and the people are prosperous and contented. Two years ago I conldn't get through the streets of some of those western towns because they were blocked by curb stone orators preaching free &i!ver and prophecying dire things if the issue didn't carry. This year not a man did I find who wanted to discuss tho question. Aside from the fact that the prosperity of the west boomed my business and made sailing eRBy for me, I was personally gratified at it because I had to meet so many fellows who two years ago waved me off and said they would be bankrupt unless we had free silver, and that they would never bo able to rally from the terrible blow Mr. Mc-

Kinley's election would give them. I want to say that I did not meet one of these fellows this year who is not infinitely better off now than he -was then and who is not satisfied with his present business. I saw all of them, too, and not one of them referred to his talk of _'9t. You may: be sure I didn't. I was there for orders and I got them as never before. More mortgages have been paid off in the northwest in the last eighteen months than were Daid off in the four years previous to tbat time. I want to say that the west is prosperous in spite of itself and every man who has been in •.hat country this year will bear me out."

Cutting Down tho Ktuto Debt. Tne present Republican Mate management has won much favor with the people 6f the state, of all parties, for the splendid showing made in tho reduction of expenses and reduction of the big state debt heaped upon tho taxpayers by the former Democratic legislature and officials. The state debt, although it has been reducing under the present management, is yet something like 80,000.000. But an illustration of the literal cutting down of the debt by the Republican ollicialB was given Friday, when deputy 6tate auditor Hart, in the presence of Chas. E Wilson, tho governor's secretary,

chopped into pieces with a hatchet 8200,000 of state bonds. Tho bonds were paid a few days ago and carau from New York Friday for cancelation.

PART SECOND

A LIAR CALLED DOWN.

Chaplain Curst onsen, of I ml lanapnllA, Shown Tp in ii

Chaplain Carstenson of the 158th regiment, who made such a villainous attack on Colonel liuoidenkoper of the array medical corps, has boon brought to book. Hueidenkoper was in charge of the affairs at Chickamauga and Carstenson alleged among a number of other exaggeratory and disgraceful lies that liuoidenkoper was a cheap horse doctor who had never doctored men in his life. In tho Indianapolis iYews lest Friday appears the following: "M. J. Treacy, the veterinary surgeon of the Sth United States cavalry, who is temporarily at tho United States recruiting station hero, says the attack of tho Rev. G. A. Carsten son on Col. Rush Huoidonkoper, chief medical director of tho First army corps at Chickamauga, is a base slander. 'I do not know this minister that makes the attack, but 1 do know Dr.

Hueidkoper,' said ho, 'and I know a great injustice has boon done a worthy man. As one knowing something of tho surgeon attacked, I deem it my duty to speak out. Dr. Hueidenkoper belongs to one of the first families of Pennsylvania. Ho was graduated from tho medical department of Harvard University, and for many years was a practicing physician. He is regarded bs one of the best medical experts in the east, and as such was called upon to give testimony in the celebratod Shakespeare, Meyer and other murder trials in New York City. He was surgeon-major of the Pennsylvania national guard at the time Lippincott endowed the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, and he was chosen by the trustees to take charge of the the department of veterinary science. Before taking charge of the work he spent some time studying in the Alfred veterinary college, near Paris, France. At the time war began he was tilling the chair of anatomy, physiology and surgery. 'The Blander on this man has evideutly resulted from the enmity of subbordinates, and I fear that the Icdianapolis chaplain, without any investigation, has repeated what he haB heard some irresponsible person say. I have heard it said that there is pol''tics in it. I am a Democrat, but I cannot keep quiet when I see such a man as Dr. Hueidenkoper slandered.'"

I.iino Miirdor Case.

Frankfort 'J'iincs: The legal phaso of the Lane murder case is being fought again by tho attorneys in the case. Tho case is in the supreme court of the state and the time for hearing the case closes on the 2!»th of this month. Some time ago W. R. Moore, senior consol for Lane, filed his brief with the supreme court, and Mr. Palmer has filed his answer. Both briefs are quite voluminous, that of the defense being especially so, there being about sixty closely type-written pages. Tho questions raised are those brought out during tho trial in the circuit court, especial stress being placed on the

contention that tho indictment is faulty because it charges that death was caused by tho bullet from Lane's pistol striking Good'n body, while the evidence was that death was due to tho progress of the bullet in the body. It is not expected that tho case will be decidod for some weeks yet.

1'nlU'Kt Soldier in I ml lunii. Postmaster W. W. Withrow, of Dilleboro, who attended the national G. A. K. encampment at Cincinnati, waB one of tho youngest veterans in the gathering. When only 12 years of age he went into camp with tho 37th Indiana at L*wroneeburg, remaining until the regiment was ordered to the front. Two years later he enlisted iD the 139th Indiana, remaining with his regiment until the close of tho war. Mr. Withrow is not yet 50 years old. With him in the G. A. R. parade marched the Rev. Ira J.
