THE GOLDEN RULE.

SAM BICE.

He Should Show Up or He Will lie Declared Legally Dead and His Mosey 'Will Go to Others.

The relatives of Sam Bice, formerly of this county, are taking steps to have him declared legally dead, thus to enable them to come into his property. An aum of Sam's died several years ago out in Boonville, Mo and Sam, as well as her other nieces and nephews, was left quite a snug little wad. It so happened that Sam had disappeared from his old haunts in Brown township shortly before and he has not since shown up. He will have to come to light now in short order or he will be out of pocket considerably.

Sam Rice has led a checkered career. Some years Bgo he was a highflyer down about Waveland and married & sister of Perry Garland His wife had quite a large property, but thiB was dissipated in short order. Then Sam had a quarrel with Perry and was charged with forging Perry's name to some papers. He claimed that be did this with Perry's sanction but he left here, deserting his wife and going to parts unknown. The next heard of him was about four years later, in 1894, when Gee Grimes came to Crawfordsville and stated that he had seen Rice as a prisoner in the penitentiary at Joliet, 111. This was published in THE JOURNAL at the time and gave his wife her first clew as to his whereabouts. She instituted divorce proceedings at once and WM soon free. Rice has not since been heard from, and if he is etill alive no one here knows it. A cousin of his claims that he visited the Joliet prison shortly after Grimes told his story and that Sam was not there then. Grimes stated that he was in prison under a false name, ho had forgotten what, so the searching cousin had no means of ascertaining what had become of Sam if he had been liberated.

Rice has not shown up here for nearly nine years and the law allows that a man be declared legally dead after an absence of seven years, so it is likely that his relatives will shortly be in full possession of his property.

FIRE.

Harry Naylor's Home Damaged By Flame ,, and Flood.

About 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the fire department was called to the home of Harry Naylor on south Washington street. Fire had started in the rear of the second story but did not get beyond control. Nearly all the household goods were removed and 1h8 damage by water is probably more than that caused by the flames.

Death of .Mr*. W. M. Vane leave. Christinia Elliott was born in Butler county, Ohio, Nov. 26, 1821. Her parents removed to Montgomery county, Indiana, when she was a child. She was converted and united with the M. E. church 63 years ago, and was married to Wm. M. Vancleave June 28, 1843. To them were born nine chil dren, all dying young except Henry N. and Thomas H., who survive her. She lived a consistent Christian life and died in the faith on Feb. l, 1899 being 77 years, 2 months and 6 days old. The funeral was preached at the

M. E. church at Darlington last Friday at 9:30 a. m, by Rev. W. H. Broom fiald. Interment at the old cemetery at Mace, beside her husband, who died twenty years ago, in which neighborhood they had lived the greater part of their married life. The two sons desire to express in the keenest sense their gratitude to the members of the M. E. church for their many, many acts of love and sympathy during the long illnesB of their mother.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

Zack Williams' Hlglit to Administrator the Kstate of tlie Late Eph Wheeler Is Contested Uy a Sister of the Deceased.

The day after Eph Wheeler, the well known colored barber, died, Zach Williams came into court and had himself appointed administrator of the estate of the deceased. Epb's property left behind in this vale of tears was not particularly large but still there were a number of "purties" in the shape of razors, watches, and similar cnattels. It was the charitable intention of Mr. Williams to sell this property and turn the proceeds over to a woman who had tended Eph in his last sickness and had been a friend to him in other ways too tedious to mention. This philanthropic purpose did not appeal to the legal judgment of Constable Byers, however, and he entered an indignant protest to any such carryings on. Mr. Williams, armed with his letters of administration, gave him the merry horse laugh and went right on gather ing up armloads of trumpery belonging to the estate. He had a clear deck until last Tuesday, when Constable

Byers received a letter from Mrs.Rachel Collinge, the sister of Wheeler, who instructed him to tell Mr. Williams to get out and "let her property alone." She lives in Indianapolis and declares that she has secured legal aid to pu6h her claim as the heir at law. Tillie Mansfield, the woman whom Mr. Wil liams represents, will probably file claim against the estate and endeavor to get what is due her in this manner. Jn her letter to Constable Byers, Mrs. Collins spoke very harshly of Mr. Williams and called him some very rude names.

THE RATHBONE SISTERS.

Mrs. Rice Makes Her inspection and Reception is Given in The Evening.

Tuesday afternoon aod evening were notable in the circles of the Bathbone Sisters of Crawfordsville Mrs. George W. Rice, D. D. G. C., of Lafayette, was in the city and made an inspection of the local temple aDd in the evening there was an exemplifi cation of the work. At nine o'clock the doors of the temple were opened and the Pythians of the city were re ceived and handsomely entertained A sumptuous collation was served during the hours of entertainment and the occasion proved one of the most thoroughly enjoyable in -the his tory of the order in Crawfords vill. The local temple has flourished exceedingly since its installation here three or four years ago and is tc-day one of the strongest in the state.

Washington and Expansion.

To the Editor The Journal. Mr. Gladstone once said something like this: "That if the world should combine to build a monument to the memory of the greatest and wisest man of all history, he would vote, to erect it over the remains of George Washington And there is little room to doubt that a majority of the world would vote with him.

Washington said: "Our true policy is to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." And in his farewell address he demonstrated this proposition by arguments that have never been, and never can be, answered. Yet, men are thoughtlessly denounced as traitors to their country because they are op posed to departing from the policy of Washington Our present perplexity proves, more conclusively than any thing else has ever before proved, that Mr. Gladstone was right in denominat ing Washington the wisest and great est of men. P. S. K.

Appreciation.

The following letter explains itself. It is a sample of many received during the year: "HUNTINGTON, Ind.,JFeb. 7th, 1899.— THE JOUBNAL Company, Crawfords ville, Ind., Gentlemen:—All the papers of your combination for 83.10 have been received except the Agricultural Epitomise which so far hasjfailed to 'enter an appearance' and thinking that perhaps the Epitomlst folks have overlooked the matter in the rush of subscriptions incident to the beginning of the year, I enclose a stamp and ask that you kindly notify them of their omission. Your combination is Immense. How you can furnish so many excellent papers for so small a sum of money is a wonder. THE JOUBNAL alone iB worth mare than the price of the entire combination, and especially to former citizens of Montgomery county it is of great interest on account of its news from all parts of the county in which it excels all other papers published there. It is even better in this respect than a letter from home to us and we look forward with pleasure to its weekly visit. We include a year's subscription to THE JOURNAL in our necessary household expenses, for my wife and I would hardly know how to deny ourselves the pleasure we derive from its weekly visits. With a sincere wish for the continued success of your excellent paper, I remain yours truly.

I- N. VANSICKLE DEAD.

He Succumbs to a Long, and Painful Illness at Kis Home ou Mouth Grant Avenue.

Isaac Newton VanSickle died Tueiday afternoon about 4 o'clock at his residence on south Grant avenue. He had been ill for several weeks, first uffering with pneumonia which left him with Bright's disease, to which he finally succumbed. The funeral services were conducted on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. Brumbaugh. Interment at Oak Hill.

I. N. VanSickle was born in Preble county, Ohio, Oct. i, 1842. His father, William VanSickle, was born in 1798 in New Jersey, andj died in 1860. His mother, Rachel M. (Southard) Van Sickle, was born in 1801 in the same state, and died in 1880. In 1849 I. N. VanSickle removed with his parents to Clinton county, Indiana. He was raised a farmer, which occupation he continued till the spring of»{1862. In that year he attended Bacon's commercial college at Cincinnati, and graduated, thus fitting himself for a business more commercial than farming. In the fall of 1862 he accepted a situation as bookkeeper with the wholesale grocery houseSof Bausemer Bro. & Co. at Lafayette, which he held two years, when he resigned for the purpose of a trip south, but he was offered and accepted the position of first clerk in the provost marshal's office, under Capt. James Park, and filled throughout the entire draft for soldiers for the war cf the rebellion. On retiring .from that office he was engaged as bookkeeper for J. W. Blair & Co., pork packers at

Crawfordsville, and began his work Nov. 21, 1864. Before the close of the packing season he°was offered the position as bookkeeper in the First National bank, and had also an offer from the Toledo, Wabash & Western rail-1 road. He accepted the situation with the bank, Jan. 1, 1865. On Nov. 16, 1865, Mr. VanSickle was united in marriage to Miss Mary C. Bromley. Two children were born to them, both of whom live, Mrs. W. F. Robb and»Mrs. Walter C. Pickett. Mr. VanSickle remained in the bank for three lyears, and in March, 1868, formed a partnership with H. T. Shepherd in the jewelry business, under the firm name of Shepherd & VanSickle. At the eiid of seventeen months the partnership, at the instance of VanSickle, was dissolved. He continued in the jeweler's business alone until early in the 'SO's, when he went south for a short season. Returning to Crawfordsville he entered the job printings business with LeRoy Miller, their house being known as "The Indiana PrintingsiCompany." Mr. VanSickle was one ofj the best known citizens of Crawfordsville and was distinguished by bisiltireless energy and his genial disposition. In his home he appeared to the best advantage and his family relations were of a most beautiful character. He as a husband and father was all those names i'mpty of good. Mr. VanSickle's death is generally deplored and it WE S hoped until the last that he^fmight be

Bpared for many years. A LITTLE WHILE. 'Tls such a little while we walk together along life's way Some weary feet that march beside us falter each passing day. Dear friends that greet us in the?mornlng vanish e'er it is noon. And tender voices melt away in silence—a broken tune.

We long to see the dear familiar faces, but all in vain The footsteps that kept pace &wlth ours so bravely, come not again We catch the echo of a voice grown silent, faint and afar A dim, white face gleams out among the shadows like some pale star.

Tis such a little while for loving kindness or cold disdainTo smooth the way for weary feet that falter or cause them pain. A. little while and it were unavailing kind words to say. For those who walked but yesterday beside us have passed away. —LIZZIE GLARK HARDY.

TRAM-MARK*

PERIODS OF PAIN.

Menstruation, the balance wheel of woman's life, is also the bane of existence to many because it means a time of great suffering.

While no woman 5s entirely free from periodical pain, it does not seem to have been nature's plan that women otherwise healthy should suffer so severely. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It relieves the condition that produces so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Here is proof:

DEAB MRS. PINKHAM:—How can 1 thank yon enough for what yon have done for me When I wrote to you I was suffering untold pain at time of menstruation was nervous, had headache all the time, no appetite, that tired feeling, and did not care for anything. I have taken three bottles of Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one of Blood Purifier, two boxes of Liver Pills, and to-day I am a well person. I would like to have those who Buffer know that I am one of the many who have been cured of female complaints by your wonderful medicine and advice. —Miss JENNIE R. MILES, Leon, Wis.

If you are suffering in this way, writ® as Miss Miles did tc Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for the advice which she offers free of charge to all women.

A BAD FIRE.

The Handsome Sew Residence of Mrs. Lizzie Voris Destroyed By Fire Tuesday Morning.

Tuesday morning at half past five the residence of Mrs. Lizzie Voris on south Water street was discovered to be on fire and notwithstanding the e£cient work of tbe department, which turned out promptly, the IOSB. was practically total. The residence was anew one and stood on the southwest corner of Water and Jefferson streets. Mrs. Voris and her mother lived there and upstairs roomed Arthur Mull and a student named Peters. Monday night Harry Evans went to Peters' room to spend the night with him and shortly after 5 o'clock he was awakened by the smell of smoke. He arose at once and discovered thftt Mull's room was all in a blaze. The noise made by Evans in hopping frant-i ically about aroused Mr. Mull an^ starting from his pleasant dreanffi he was simply paralyzed for a minute to see that all one side of his room was wrapt in flames. The wall was covered with'the photographs of young ladies who in times agone caused the heart of Mr. Mull to flutter and his apprehension and dismay were not lessened to see these precious mementoes cnrl^J ing up in the cruel, hungry flames.^ There was no chance to save them and with a yell he leaped from hed^.

Throwing up a window he threw out an armload of clothe3 and then seized up those he had taken off upon retiring. He shot oat of his door, just as a peculiarly vicious and long-tongued flame snapped at the flying tail of his nightgown, and hustled to the front porch, where he donned his duds in the chUly dawn. The ladies were quickly notified that the house was on fire and they hurried to a neighbor's house. An effort was made to get out some of the furniture, but still but little was saved. The department arrived soon after the alarm and fought the fire valiantly. The fire was confined to the second story, however, and burned fiercely, the roof falling in in an in credibly short time. It carried the floor of the second story with it and the whole blazing mass was precipitated onto the first floor. It was then handled better and in a short time was under control.

The fire undoubtedly had its origin with an uninsulated electric light wire in Mull's room. There was absolutely no fire on the first floor when the department arrived, so it conld not have originated in the furnace.

Mrs. Vori6 places her loss at 35,000 and she has a 83,500 insurance policy in the Ohio Farmers. Mr. and\ Mrs. Cliff Voris also lost some furniture that was stored in the residence and Messrs. Mull and Peters lost most of their wardrobes.
