Five Crttivfordgvllle Hoys Leave To Ilecome Soldiers for Uncle Sam.

On Wednesday Oliver Lane, Bert Mitchell, Bert Morgan, Arthur S intuu and Bob Courtney left for Indianapolis to join the regular army of the United States. They have been assured that they will all be assigned to the fourth regiment which is now being recruited at Fort Sheridan and which will bo sent very shortly to the Philippine islands. The boys were attended to the station by quite a number of their friends and were given a good Bend oil. All of the boys were members of Company and all of them proved to be excellent soldiers. One of them stated that soldier life was just what he needed and that he regarded the experience he had in the volunteers the best schooling he had ever had.

A Witch Party,

On Saturday evening, Dec. 3, 1898, fifteen wizards were delightfully entertained by the witches at the home of Miss Lillie Myles, in Brown's Valley. Each witch was attired in witch costume of dark material with high peaked hats of the regulation witches' shape. Moreover each witch brought a broom as a typical accessory of her tribe. After the brooms had been received and decorated with a band of ribbon and a corresponding color given each witch, they were taken charge of by a witch-like figure and placed in a row along the wall. The front parlor was lighted by a full moon which shone high in one corner and vaguely illuminated the room. In another corner of the room was a dark cave in which sat the witch fortune teller and received the guests as they were ushered in by the witch hostess. The back parlor was lighted by a crescent moon whose pale, yellow light revealed near the center of the room a cauldron around which moved three weird creatures as they muttered a part of the witches' Bong in Macbeth, '•Double, double, toil and trouble,

Hre burn and cauldron bubble," After the guests were served from the cauldron with a warm broth, they returned to the cave, which was a very rustic affair and presented an uncanny appearance, as old bones, a jack o' lantern, a large artificial snake, a dancing skeleton and a string of hoodoo preventatives met our eyes. The wizards' futures were revealed to them by the old witch in the cave and wizards and witches mingled in a motley throng during the period of wan illumination, after which the lights were turned on and the hostess commanded the wizards to each select a broom. Then mounted on their broom stick steeds rode to find the witch who wore their color. After the couples were properly paired they threw aside their witch like wraps and went gaily out to supper. The dining room and table were decorated with the witch colore, yellow and black bunting. Brooms large and small made the decorations complete. The refreshments consisted of ice cream, yellow and black cake and grapes. The souvenirs were tiny brooms decorated with the two witch colors of ribbon. The remainder of the evening was spent in a guessing contest of shadow charades, etc., for which a prize was given the successful contestants. All left at a late hour declaring an enjoyable time. Those present were: Messrs. Taylor, Frame and Doyle, of Penobscot Wright and mother, of New Market Canine, of Waveland Oliphant, of Crawfordsville Patton, Davis, Williams, Wilkinson, Bayless, Rogers and two Messrs. Starke, of Brown's Valley Miss Todd, the two Misses Lydick, of Crawfordsville Misses Gailey and Summerfield, and two Misses Taylor, of Penobscot two Misses Servies, Milns and Johnson, Misses Patton, Wilkinson and Jackson, of Brown's Valley.

MR. PEIRCE'S FUNERAL.

Lltrge Thrones Here ami at IndianapollR lo Honor to His Memory,

Wednesday at 10 o'clock a.m.in Indianapolis there was a short funeral service at the home of the family of the late R. B. F. Peirce in Indianpolis, the service being conducted by the Rev. Dr. M. L. Hains. For two hours previous to the ceremony the body laid in Btate and was viewed by hundreds of friends of the honored dead man. After the service the body was taken to the Union station, where a special train was waiting to take the funeral party to Crawfordsville. In the baggage room of one of the cars a catafalque had been fitted up and buried beneath a mound of (lowers the body rested on this during its journey. The pall bearers in Indianapolis were: Gen. Harrison, E. H. Noboker Gen. Lew Wallace, Samuel E. MODBCol. Ivan N. Walker, John S. Lazarus, A. L. Mason, Harry C. Adams,

John N. Carey, John W. Cbipman. The special train was heavily draped in mourning and was made up of the Clover Leaf private car No. 59 and the I., D. & W. private car No. 75, with a day coach, and the combination coach, It was run via the I., D. & W. to Roachdale, and from there to Crawfordsville over the Monon. John S. Lazarus, traffic manager, and Superintendent Graves had charge of the trftiq.

which reached there shortly after 2 o'clock, came nearly two hundred

to Center church via Green, Main and Washington streets and upon the arrival there found the church already full. There was not room for the great concourse which gathered and the high regard in which Mr. Peirce was held was mutely attested by the assembly to do honor to his memory. The Knights of Pythias in a body and also the Crawfordsville bar attended the service. The floral designs were magnificent and numerous, those given by the railroad officials and employes being especially exquisite. The service was opened by Center church quartette singing "Rock of AgeB." This was followed by a prayer by Dr. Alexander. The quartette then sang "Sometime We Will Understand," after which Dr. E. B.£Thomson made a few appropriate remarks. He dwelt upon the life of Mr. Peirce as a citizen in Crawfordsville and spoke aa from the standpoint of a fellowjcitizen and friend. He concluded with a scriptural reading and then introduced the Rev. Dr. William P. Stratton, of Tiffin O., who preached the funeral discourse. Dr. Stratton was formerly pastor of Center Presbyterian church and was very intimately associated with Mr. Peirce, they being close friends not only during their residence here, but in their efter lives. Dr. Stratton spoke as a friend, and his remarks were both touching and beautiful. Following the sermon there was another selection by the quartette and the service was closed by a prayer by Dr. J. F. Tuttle. The body was then taken to its last resting place at Oak Hill.

•'Tlie Sunshine of I'aradise Alley." Among the coming attractions likely to receive the patronage of Music Hall theater-goers is the new character drama "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley," by Denman Thompson and Geo. W. Ryer, whose previous works have been so well received. It is to be given at Music Hall on Wednesday night, Dec. 14 by the splendid Thompson and Ryer company, one of the best allaround and most complete organizations of its kind ever seen here, having a cast of twenty characters, the Acme mail quartette and the famous Boston Verdi ladies'quartette, the best known artists that could be selected in the dramatic and musical field. The company, since the first production of the piece in New York two years ago, has appeared almost entirely on the eastern circuits, playing everywhere to crowded houses. The Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Brooklyn critics and the metropolitan press, were, singular to say, unanimous in praise of the piece, not a dissenting voice being heard since the opening and, in addition, it has received the warm endorsemeut of the clergy, the bar, philanthropists and educators. The entire production, with the same cast, the Acme Male Quartette, the famous Boston Verdi Ladies' Quartette, magnificent scenerv, marvelous electrical and mechanical effects, will be brought directly here, thus insuring a firBt class performance.

On Wednesday at 10 o'clock Parker Willis received a telegram announcing the death of his father, Abner D. Willis, at Harrisouville, Mo. Mr. Willis' family hero had heard from him only Tuesday to the effect that he was slightly ill, but nothing of a serious nature was hinted at. It is supposed that he died of heart disease as he was subject to attacks.

Mr. Willis W»B a native ofithis county and was a son of Benjamin Willis. Ee was born near Alamo, January 15, 1834. He leaves three sisters and one brother. His own family consists ot three children, Parker, Lewis, and Mrs. Anibel Grooms. Mr. Willis was a Mason and that order will probably have charge of his funeral, tie was a man well liked by all who knew him, and in the large photographic business he conducted here for many years he made many friends. For several years past he had been in business in IJarri eonville, Mo.

Before the arrival of the funeral denouement may be expected. There's train in Crawfordsville a special ar- going to be an almighty shaking up of rived from Frankfort bearing two dry bones before the central commitbundredand Clover Leaf employes and (prominent citizens of that place.

A bunch of firecrackers to the tail of one small dog he tied the dog in anguish sought the barn and mid its ruins died. The sparks flew wide and red and hot they lit upon the brat: they fired the crackers in his hands and lit those in his hat. Then came a burst of rattling sound—the boy! where has he gone? Ask of the winds that far around strewed bits of meat and bone, and scraps of clothes and tops and nails and hooks and keys andjyarn, the relics of the dreadful boy who burned his father's barn."

A Lunar Kolipae.

On the 27th of December there will be a total eclipsa of the moon, visible on all of the continents except Australia, and over the Atlantic ocean. The duration of the eclipse exclusive of the penu moral phase, which is never perceptible, will be three hours forty-nine minutes. Thel moon will be totally eclipsed onejhour and thirty minutes. At the middle of the eclipse the moon will be in the zenith of an observer in longitude 5'degrees east from Greenwich and in north latitude 23 degrees 30 minutes—very nearly at the center of the Sahara desert.

Observers on Atlantic coast of the United States may see (the whole of the eclipse, which willj begin for them at aboutj the timeiiwheu the moon rises—just before :or a few minutes after, according!}.to their exact location. Those on the«|Pacific coasts can 6ee only the second half of the eclipse, the moon rising for them at just about the time when the total phase ends.

Those who have never had Blood Poi•on can not know what a desperate condition it can produce. This terrible disease which the doctors are totally unable to cure, is communicated from one generation to another, inflicting its taint upon countless innocent ones.

Some years ago 1 was Inoculated with poison by a nurso who infected my babe -with blood taint. The little one was unequal to tho strugKle, and its life was yielded up to the fearful poison. For six Ion ir years I suffered untold "misery. I was covered with sores and ulccrs from hcatl to foot, and no language oan express my fool lugs of woe during thoso long years. I had the best medical treatment. Several physicians succes-. sively treated me, but all" to no purpose. Tho mercury and potash seemed to add fuel to the awful llame which was devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift's Specific.
