Obituary.

Lafayette Call: Charles B. Peterson, B. C. E., instructor' of mechanical drawing at Purdue University, died Feb. 7 at 5 o'clock a. m., from the effects of pueumonia, after an illness of two weeks' duration. The immediate cause of death was an abscess of the lungs. Monday Mr. Peterson was considered much improved and all his friends and relatives had great hopes for his recovery,but,all unexpected,the abscess broke Tuesday morning and life passed away. Since first being taken ill, the deceased had been in much pain and a very high fever seemed to defy the best medical skill. But for several days recently it had been thought that the patient was on the road to recovery. His sudden death was a terrific blow to the wife. Charles B. Peterson, born July 24, 180S, was the son of John and Hannah Peterson, residing near Darlington. He was educated in the township schools in the Potato Creek neighborhood, graduating therefrom about 1882. A year later he entered DePauw University, where he remained five years. Not finding thu course in that college adapted to his desires, ha entered the junior class in mechanics.1 engineering at Purdue iu 3890, graduating with high honors in 1891. His thesis was "A Design for a Cantilever." After graduating at Purdue, he went to Detroit and made a number of dra wings for the Detroit Bridge Company and remained there until called to accept a position as instructor in mechanical drawing at Purdue at the opening of the fall term of 1892, and had remained as such to the time of his demise. He ranked high as an instructor, beiDg rated by the faculty as a brilliant and skillful draughtsman

In the summer of 1892 he made a trip to Europe with Dr. Arthur, returning in time to re-enter upon his duties the following fall. He was married June 20, 1894, to Miss Olla Alkire, who graduated in the same class with the de­

gree of B. S. She is a daughter of Isaac Alkire. Two bright daughters were born to thiB union, Mildred, aged three, and Marian, aged one year. The deceased was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Greek fraternity, joinging the chapter at DePauw during his course there. He was also an active member of the Purdue Civil Engineering Society. He was a young man universally loved by all who knew him, was very popular with the student body and none will more sincerely mourn his loss than the latter. He always occupied a position of the highest regard by the faculty, and as a student through his entire course ranked high. As a citizen he was respected and honored, aad in the home, as husband aud father, he was kind, loving and gentle His disposition was admirable, and his many traits of character endeared him to the community. In his death, a home has been robbed of a noble husband and parent, the community loses an esteemed citizen, and the university has a position vacated, which it will be difficult to fill with one so eflieient as Prof Pete, son.

He will be greatly missed from the societies aud fraternity to which he belonged. The funeral was conducted from the residence of deceased's fath-er-in-law, Isaac Alkire. 015 Slate street, West Lafayette, Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev George W. Switzer officiating. Interment was made in Springvale cemetery. The funeral w^s private but Wednesday afternoon f|om 2:30 to 4:30 o'clock the faculty, students and other friends called at the home, 019 State street.

No prettier story of man's friendship for man has ever been told than that of "Damon and Pythias," which has been weaved into song and poetry and been m-ide the vehicle for the dramatist's art. The drama tells the famed story in vivid style and has been presented to the theater-going people by some of the most renowned actors that ever trod the American stage. It has been presented as frequently as any other play befoVe the public. So popular has it been and so fascinating i6 the story it tells that nearly everybody has witnessed it. The beautiful dramswill be produced Wednesday avenii').', Feb. 15, at Music Hall, under the auspices of DeBayard lodge. No. 39, Knights of Pythias, which has employed Mr. Harry Webber, an actor of high talent, to direct the rehearsals and to play the leading role of ''Damon." Mr. Webber has been conducting the production of this piece for some time for K. of P. lodges and is considered a great success throughout the order. He will be supported by his wife, who is 6aid to be very talented. It requires thirty people to stage the drama, and as DeBayard lodge is composed of some of tho best busine&B men of Crawfordsville, this promises to be an entertainment worthy of liberal patronage.

Harry Nuylor'a Firo.

The fiie at Harry Naylor's residence Wednesday was quite an ugly one, it being hard to fight from the fact that it originated between the floors and worked up to the attic between walls. Mrs. Naylor discovered it and gave the alarm. The house was wrecked almost completely, although much of the damage was done by water. A large portion of the furniture was saved. The fire originated in a room occupied by one of the college students, though from what cause .is not known. Mr. Naylor had insurance in the Glen Falls company, 81,800 on the building and 8400 on the contents.

In Memory of Sliiter A lure. Again God has seen fit to call from our midst another loved one. But let us remember that "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." Alice Anderson wife of Asa Anderson, died Jan. 31, 1899, at her home, four miles north of Darlington, aged 30 years, four, months and four days She leaves a husband, two sons, Willard aud Ray,, a little daughter Gracie, an aged father and mother, four brothers, three sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death. Alice was a devoted wife, a kind and loving mother, an obedient daughter and a loving &ister. She was always cheerful and had a kind word for everyone she met. Her untimely death was a shock to her many friends as she was taken at an unexpected time. This should teach all the awful lesson that life, is uncertain and death is sure. The funeral services occurred at White Church conducted by Rev. Campbell, and the remains were laid to rest in

Union cemetery to stay until Christ shall come to claim it. Dearest slster thou hast left us.

And thy loss we deeply feel, But the God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows beal.

Several months ago Mrs. Catherine Vancleave fell on an uneven pavement on Washington street and promptly sued the city for $5,000 damages. The case came up in the circuit court Monday and a verdict was reached by the jury about ten o'clock Wednesday night. It was sealed aud handed in being opened in the court on Tnursday. The jury found for the plaintiff aud fixed her damages at $3f0. There was some difficulty in reaching a verdict, the jury feeling that while the c.iiy had been at f.tuit in not keeping the walk in repair, still tho plaintiff had not been badly damaged. The case will hardly be appealed.

The Coving-ton bowling- team, which played against a Crawfordsville team at ^Laymon'a alley Wednesday, was about the easiest thing that ever came in from the west. Crawfordsville won three straight games and in each instance had a perfect walkaway. The Covington people could not bowl and they showed it, not one of the games being interesting,except as to the good work of the Crawfordsville players. The scores were as follows:
