FROM DAWSON CITY.

W. G. Jenkins is Fresh Front the Gold Country and Tells of the Prices Which Prevail There.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1898—TWELVE PAGES.

W.'G. Jenkins, wife and son, of Dawson City, Alaska, are registered at the Ramsey. Mrs. Jenkins is a sister of A. A. Plunkett and is here to visit him and other relatives. Mr Jenkins was living in Seattle when the gold fever broke out and he at once proceeded to Dawson City and opened up a hardware store. He has succeeded magnificently and connected with his establishment he now has several other businesses besides the hardware line he carries. Mr. Jenkins talks interestingly of the far north and states that the Btories of high prices which are brought down are not exaggeratory by any means. This summer he concluded one day that he would like some sliced cucumbers and accordingly bought a couple in the market. They cost him $5 each and he bad a pull with the dealer basides. Oysters co3t $25 a can and if you want them fried they cost a dollar each. Other things sell correspondingly and the field is a great one for the enterprising merchant. Mr. Jenkins says there is plenty of gold in the country but that it takes nerve to gat it. If a man has the necessary physique and nerve there is no reason why he can't grow rich by gathering up the precious stuff. ,'W

Dr. Leech's Statement of Aflairs. In a letter to a friend here Dr. Leech says: "The stuff copied about my church matters was largely a series of falsehoods, ^number of men in the official board are my staunch friends As to salary. I am already 8150 overpaid in my pro rata share of current receipts, saying nothing of sums be ing paid to me personally by church members who are friends. My con gregations of last Sunday were three times as large as any that have assem bled in my church since this trouble began. The most eminent pianist in the city has tendered me her service free of charge for Sunday worship to morrow and, so long as I remain here. No minister here ever asked for my reinstatement as pastor. That was done by the great body of my people in a petition, under the guidance of some of my best men. Bishop Fowler, who has known me long, did not 'reinstate' me as an act of friendship, but by a judicial Episcopal decision. He declined to receive my resignation, declaring that he had no Episcopal power to do so and that I was not out of this pastorate but de jure and de facto continuously in and that no church board could demand the resignation of a pastor, they having nothing whatever, as a court, to do with his trial. Almost the entire city is with me and I worry little over tbe situation. But it is true that a considerable number of our best families are not with me, but very strongly against ne aad outside friends fill their seats on occasions of Sunday worship. Two persons have withdrawn and two have united with the church since my (so-called) reinstatement. I have tried to do right, and I leave my future in the divine custody without an emotion of teur."

Stout Case Continued.

The trial of Dr. Stout will not take place at Rockville this week as was expected. It has been continued until a later date. The Covington Republicoh, commenting on s&ysi "'It is to be hoped that* the case will be disposed of this time, for all time to come. Whether Dr. Stout is found guilty or iunocen*, ho has suffered greatly for the alleged crime He has been compelled to neglect his practice, and go from point to point to fight this c&so and it is high time that it ba settled. It has cost the doctor thousands of dollars to keep up bin end of the string, and this money is a dead lots to hiri eveu though he be innocent ot tti»i charge. Abiutthe only damaging evicenc^ against him is tbe statement cf Pnil liauk, and ho told so many different tales, that his testimony can hardly be considered by an intelligent jury. The opinion of the general publip seems to be that whether guilty or not Dr. Stout has been punished sufficiently and the matter should be dropped."

Fair Directors Sleet.

The regular monthly Meeting of the directors of the fair association was held last Saturday in the small court room. The several suoerintendents of departments made their reports and Secretary Hulet reported S84S.56 in the treasury. This will be diminished somewhat by a few disbursements to be made. A committee composed of J. H. Watson, O. M. Gregg and Andrew Yount was appointed to a.udit the accounts and report at the next meeting of the directors.

Last Saturday shortly after 2 o'clock Solomon Landman died at his home on the corner of 'Jreen street and Wabash avenue. Mr. Landman had not been in vigorous health for some time, but waB able to be about his homo until the last day or so, and nothing of a serious nature was apprehended until oarly Saturday, when he began to sink and grew worse until his sufferings were relieved by death. His disease was heart trouble. '*'r

Mr. Landman was born in Germany sixtj-eight years ago and there grew to manhood, marrying MissBettie Volner. In 1866 he came with his family to this country and settled in Waynetown, where he continued in business until 1891, when he came to Crawfordsville.

All the children were home at the time of Mr. Landman's death. The deceased was a man highly respected in the community and was in all things a good.citizen and neighbor. He was a big hearted, whole souled man and those who knew him best were his warmest friends and greatest admirers.

She has smoked all her life and is still able to draw great solace from her pipe.

Mr. Skidmore's bid was SO00 and Mr. McFarlaod's was 8000 Mr Skidmore had been dong the work and doing it to the satisfaction of all for S600 but states that he is unable to du it for that price any longer, tbe additional work entailed by the newly established night service rendering the job profitless to him at the old price.

A Word For Waynetown.

Ladoga Leader: Tbe Brazil band won the 850 cash prize Wednesday, and the Crawfordsville baud the 825 prize. All who heard the five contestants agreed that the first prize was correctly awarded, but many thought the Waynetown band should have had second place. No one, however, questioned the ability or honesty of the judges.

Mr. Landis' Appointments. S Congressman Landis will canvass Montgomery county the l&Rt week in October and will manage to speak in nearly every town in the county. He will have both night and day meetings.

FOR BATMAN.

•Judge West. Decides That He Can Continue the Practice of Medicine in Ladoga.

Last Saturday in the circuit court Judge West gave his decision in the Lidakay vs. Batman injunction suit which occupied in hearing all Thursday and Friday. The facts in the case are about as follows: Dr. Batman waB located in Ladoga when Lidakay came there and set up as a physician. They formed a partnership, Lidakay paying Batman 81,000 cash, with the understanding that after they had been together a certain time that Batman should retire and give Lidakay undisputed possession of the practice. At the expiration of the time Batman removed to Lebanon but after a short residence there he returned to Ladoga and again began the practice of medicine. Lidakay objscted to this but Dr. Batman would not retire. Lidakay then brought injunction proceedings. He would have won his case doubtless had not the evidence of a written con tract come in. This contract merely spoke of the partnership and was silent as to Batman's retirement from the field. It was shown in evidence that Batman had agreed to retire and the court so found. Judge West held however, that no varbal agreement or contract could stand where there waB a written contract and that only what was stipulated in this written contract could be taken into consideration. He therefore found for Batman and re fused to enjoin him from practicing medicine in Ladoga.

A Smashup.

Sunday evening Bhortly after dark a' liveiy little episode occurred on east Main street just east of the Vandalia tracks. Supt. Ward Walkup was driving into the city in a surrey in which were his family and Miss Chadwick, seven people in all. The horse had ist started up the slight incline to the track when Johnny Mount came driving enst in a light buggy, going at a lively rate of speed. Mr. Walkup turned out to the edge of the road but was not able to avoid a smashup. Mr. Mount happened to be looking off to the side and did not see what he was getting into until aroused by his buggy crashing into that of Mr. Walkup. The Mount horse began to rear and kick and demolished both buggy and surrey in a manner tolerably complete. The Walkup heg-se was a steady one and during the excitement kept his head. Had he plunged it is a sure thing that some one would have been badly hurt if not killed outright. The neighborhood attracted by the noise of the crash and by the screams of the ladies, turned out in force and gave all the relief possible. No one was hurt but all in the accident were, somewhat unnerved.

Music for the Peace Jubilee. The music committee of the peace jubilee have arranged for the Hey Rube band of Saelbyville to be here tbe entire four days of the celebration. Tnis band has a great reputation as a fun maker and the committee is to be congratulated on securing it. In addition the newly organized Crawfordsville band will play each day and also a band from one of the smaller towns of the county. The New Ross band has been engaged and negotiations are on with the Ladoga and Waynetown bands. There will be plenty of music.

Big Four Wreck.

Monday afternoon about 1 o'clock a wreck occurred on the Big Four road between the Plum street station and the junction. A double headed freight train was switching about and the first engine cutting loose attempted to Bide track and allow the train behind to proceed on the miin track. The engines were both in rapid motion when the thing was attempted and all would have been well had the firBt engine been given the proper distance. It was not, however, and the result was a smashup. The first engine was sruck heavily from.behind and thrown across the switch and tbe main track beside. No one was hurt, the crew escaping by jumping.

Bad for Johuuy.

Johnny Reece, a fifteen-year-old son of John Reece, of the east end, was painfully hurt Friday afternoon while wrestling with a young friend in the yard of Henry's saw mill. He so fell thai his knee cap was thrown out of joint causing him great pain. A physician was hastily summoned and his distress was finally relieved.

Republican Speakers.

The Republican state central committee has made the following assignments for Crawfordsville:

Hon. Charles Emery b'mith on the evening of Oitober 17. Hon. R. S. Taylor on the evening of October 24.

PART SECOND

MR. OWEN SiCK.

His Place is Filled Ity Horace 1'. Stilwell of Anderson, Who Makes a Very Clever speech.

On Saturday afternoon Chairman Fry, of the Republican central committee, was notified that Hon. W. D. Owen was sick in bed and would be unable to fill his speaking appointment at this place. The announce-* ment was a great disappointment as Mr. Owen has always been a favorite here where he has many warm personal friends. In place of Mr. Owen the state committee sent Horace P. Stilwell, an Anderson attorney, who came wholly unprepared but who kept his audience interested from the time he began to speak until he closed. Mr. Stilwell was escorted from the hotel to the court house by the band and one hundred and fifty Republicans, who turned out to march in spite of the weather. The audience waB a good one, excellent considering the weather and many counter attractions, and it was not disappointed in the way of a speech. Mr. Stil well's argument abounded in good points and he was particularly strong in urging the necessity of electing a Republican congress as an endorsement of the Spanish war. The election of a democratic congress at this time would discredit the President before the world and say to foreign nations that the United States did not approve of the humbling^ of Spain. Mr. Stilwell also spoke1 strongly for the election of a Republican congress to pass the excellent financial legislation.formulated in the last session. His Bpeech throughout waB a good one and his auditors remained with him.

Music Hall November 4 tU.

The ladies' minstrel, given for the benefit of the public library, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fender, will prove to be one of the greatest treats ever offered a Crawfordsville audience by local talent. The stage setting of the first part will be one of the prettiest that the Music Hall curtain has ever disclosed. The best vocal talent of the city will appear in the firBt part, assuring a musical programme that can not be excelled. The second part will consist of bright, pretty sketches, introducing all of Crawfordsville's well known talent and the fiaale will be a local take-off, bright and Bnappy, which will linger in memory long after the fall of the curtain. The entire cast is made up of home people and we have no hesitancy in saying that it will prove the bright spot of the amusement season*

A

Nervy Statement. mh'

The following is an interesting statement from the Darlington Echo: "Darlington has the honor of furnishing the only men from Montgomery county who were in the battles about Santiago. Oscar Kelsey, George Lynch and Oscar Blue were all in the campaign and bore themselves with great credit. Lynch has been promoted for good conduct and the others at no time were found lagging when any duty called them. We are proud of our soldier boys."

The Darlington boys are all righl but what is tbe matter withDoyel.Reec and Taylor, of Crawfordsville? Thef were all in the charge of San Juan hill. And then, too, there were othei men from other towns in the counts who participated in that memorable fight. ,r
