CHAS. C. GRAHAM,

Former Crawfordsvllle Divine In Trouble at Kokoiiio.

Kokomo News: A colored woman by the name of Adams, residing on east Haven street near the A. M. E. church has lodged a complaint against her pastor, Rev. Jesse Bass. She charges him with having made indecent proposals and with assault, which she indignantly repelled. Rev. Bass denies the charge and in order to establish his innocence requested the official board of his church to take cognizance of the matter and,to immediately institute a thorough investigation. This the board did, resulting in a complete exoneration of the accused pastor. The Adams woman has been a resident of Kokomo but a short time, coming here from Michigan City, and little is known of her. Shortly after her arrival here she joined Rev. Bass's congregation and he says that the calls he has made on the sister were purely of a pastoral nature such as all pastors are in the habit of making. He declares that at no time was his conduct toward the woman other than gentlemanly, and he is at a loss to account for the action of his accuser, unless it is the result of conspiracy on the part of his enemies in the church. Rev. Bass has not long presided oveiltheflock there, but as a man and a minister he has always borne a good reputation, standing high in the conferance, of which he is now the secretary. He was stationed for two years at Frankfort, during which time he was highly respected by all who came in contact with him. Prosecutor Stratton has not yet taken official notice of the complaint and probably will not do so in view of the action taken by the church board.

Funeral of W. Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatkick, Ind Dec. 5, 1898.— The funeral of James W. Kirkpatrick was one of the largest ever held here. It was held on Sunday, Dec. 4, conducted by Rov. T. C. Shanklin, and concluded by Elder Clearwater at Stockwell cemetery. The pallbearers were selected from his most intimate business friends of his own age and were Hon. Silas Peterson, Rev. Wm. S. Bryant, Simeon Bryant, Alexander Campbell, Wm. Rice, Milton Morin, Edward Coleman and James W. Wilson. He seemed aware of the end from the beginning of his sickness and made a division of his personal property.

A State Organization.

Dr. H. J. Jones, of Indianapolis Dr! George V. Nienstedt, of Bloomington Dr. E. W. Goetz, of Terre Haute, and Dr. Charles T. Kyle, of Evansville, will be here next Sunday to meet with Dr. B. E. May to form a state organization of osteopaths. The purpose of the association will be to advance the interests of this new science in Indiana, by giving it a recognized standing among the arts of healing and by drawing a distinction between the half a dozen schools of osteopathy with twenty month courses and those with inferior courses of shorter terms.

Got Off Easy.

Judge Sellar haB returned from Rockville, where he appeared as attorney for Preston M. Layne, a son of William Layne, of south of the city, the young man being charged with having attempted to kill Moses Swaim. Layne shot Swain full of shot and came near causing his death. The case was bitterly contested and yesterday the jury brought in a verdict finding Layne guilty of simple assault and fixing his fine at 830. The verdict against him is regarded as an extremely light one.

A Crack at the Colonel.

Rockville Republican: Col. Mulberry Sellers has grown bright red whiskerB since his last appearance in Rockville and must be getting ready to flop into the Populist camp. A fear has been expressed about the court room that he will be compelled to retire from the practice of law because of a failure of his voice due to weak lungs. We hope this will prove groundless, for what could Crawfordsville do without the colonel'B mellifluous but loud resounding voice?

No Verdict Yet.

The slander suit of George Goben against John W. Tomlinson was on trial in«the circuit court Wednesday and Thursday. Goben charges that Tomlinson unjustly accused him of burning a barn and he asked heavy damages. The jury retired at 11:45 Thursday morning to make a verdict and they wrestled all last night and at the hour of going to presB this morning they have not yet returned with a verdict.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1898—TWELVE PAGES.

ELDER BASS THE REAL THING.

The Sul-Coinmlttce Appointed lly the Wabash College TruHtees Favors Co-Kdneat-ion Without Coordinate Frills.

Last December, when the trustees of Wabash college took up the question of co-ordinate education at Wabash, they appointed a committee composed of Edward Daniels, President Burroughs and O. M. Gregg to devise ways aud means to put the plans into operation. The committee has been working actively on the matter and will make a report on next Tuesday, when the "trustees meet in regular semi-an-nual session. What this report will be no one knows and it is very doubt ful whether the report will ba made public, as the problem is not yet near a solution. It is pretty certain that one report will be made on the subject, however, that will be mado public. At the time of the appointing of the committee of trustees, another committee was appointed from the alumni to investigate the matter, see what seemed best, and to act so far as possible with the committee of the board. On this committee were placed such pioneer spirits as Rev. T. D. Fyffe and Rev. H. L. Nave. They have worked faithfully, they say, and are ready to report. They will report, too, and the recommendation they will make will be co-education pure and simple for Wabash. They believe that talk of establishing co-ordinate education along the lines proposed is an adjecti^ely qualified barren ideality and in substance they say so. Although the board last year declared 'ngainst co-education the sub-committee does not feel that their fight for it is hopeless by any means. Great men, even college trustees, change their minds sometimes.

Wants a Divorce. -.y-:'

Wm. F. Randol toae entered suit for divorce from his wife, Luella Randol. He alleges in his complaint that they were, married in 1S95 and that he has always been faithful and true. She, however, has always been just the reverse and has never lost an opportunity to give him a dig. She so abused him and so maligned him that he watt sorely troubled and the matter so preyed on his mind that the evidence of it was made manifest on his damask cheek. He lost both sleep and flesh and his health became seriously impaired. Luella finally went away and left him and he now wishes all ties that'bind them, no matter how imaginary they are, to be severed.

A Slonon Smasli Up.

On Thursday there was a lively smash up at the Monon station. A few blocks eouth of the station a freight train broke in two and the forward section came rolling in at a merry clip. Without paying any particular attention to his train the engineer reversed and rolling back by the way he came met the rear section at the station with a terrific crash. Several cars loaded with coal were smashed up in ugly shape and the eogineer won the privilege of two lay offs a year and six months in each lay off.

Madly Scalded.

On Thursday Robert, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Roes, met with a very painful accident at the family residence. Mrs. Ross was crossing the room with a pat full of hot coffee when little Robert ran against her, causing ber to drop the vessel. It fell squarely on the lad's shoulder and its steaming hot contents was poured over his neck and side. He was terribly scalded and suffered excrutiating pain. Medical assistance was given and all possible relief rendered. No serious results are anticipated but the child will be confined to his bed for some time.

The county commissioners were yesterday wrestling with the question of vacating and relocating the Clarkson highway which runs between New Richmond and Waynetown. The New Richmond people were vigorously opposing the proposed change as cal1 culated to take trade away from their I town. I

AD'S LITTLE SCHEME.

The Wavelaml Statesman Doslros to I'nito the Populists and Prohibitionists.

A conference was hold WednesdBy bstween chairman A. P. Hanna,of the Populist committee, and ex-chairman

T. Dunlap, of the Prohibition state committee for the purpose of forming combination of the Populists with the wing of the Prohibition party represented by Mr. Dunlap.

In 1896 when the Prohibition party split at the Pittsburg convention upon the question of the number of issues to be incorporated in the national platform, Mr. Dunlap allied himself with the national wing of the party, which was afterward called the liberty party. Since that time he has been at work maintaining that organization.

In the last election in this state the regular Prohibitionists, as they style themselves, cast 9,961 votes and now stand third in point of numbers, while the Populists dropped far behind their former vote. What the liberty party's strength was it Is impossible to say, but it iB estimated at 2,000 votes, though thiB is probably too high a figure. As the Populists and the liberty party are united upon one central plank—the initiative and referendum —the movement has been started in this state by the conference of Wednesday to form an alliance of these two so-called reform parties.

The movement for this union started in Ohio in the last campaign. In that state under the law it «was necessary for the smaller parties -to combine to get on the ticket and a union reform party was organized from the free silver Republicans, the Populists, the liberty party and the] negro protectionists. After the campaign closed it was determined to carry this combination of reformers into the other states and in accordance with that determination the conference between Chairman Hanna'tand^Mr. Dunlap was held Wednesday. It was decided to effect a combination and hereafter to join forces. Thefdetaila will be arranged later. Mr. tdanna lives at Waveland andiMr. Dunlap at Franklin.
