TESTS PATIENCE.

The Most Patient Crawfordsville Cit* izen Must Show Annoyance At Times.

Nothing spoils a good disposition quicker. Nothing taxes a man's patience bike any iichlnebB of the skin. Itching piles almost drive you crazy. All day it makes you miserable. All night it keeps you awake. I tch, itch, itch with no relief. .Iut the satjie with eczema. (Jan hardly keopfrom scratching It. You would do so but you know it makes It. worse.

Such miseries are daily decreasing. People are learning thoy can be cured. Learning the merit, of Dona's Ointment. Plenty of proof that Doan's Ointment will cure.

Piles, eczema or any itchiness of the skin. Head the testimony of a Crawfordsville citizen:

Mrs. B. 0. Miller, of 205 west Col lege street, saye: "I eot Doan's Ointment at Moffett & Morgan's drug store and used it on a tetter which 1 was bothered with and whtch cracked open and became very sore. After applying the ointment, in a very (short time it healed. This result seemed most wonderful to me, as I had been before unable to find a remedy which did any good at all My son Harry, nineteen years old also used Doan's Ointment. He had eczema on his Ipg and it greatly worried me, as I know how many people had gone through life suffering from this miserable allliction. As soon as he commenced using Doan's Ointment the eczema began to disappear and in a short time was entirely gone. Doan's Ointment in my estimation is the finest remedy of its kind in the world and its effects are little less than miraculous

Doan's Ointment for sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by PosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sole agents for the U. S.

Remember the name—Doan's—and take no substitute.

COLD SNAP SQUIBS.

Icicle Stories Garnered By the Newsgatherer During the Frigid Simp.

There was joy in every heart in Crawfordsville Monday when the weather signal "fair and warmer" was hung out. The suffering has been so great during the past few weeks that any change for warmer is acceptable. Sunday night the mercury went down 13 below zero by the government thermometer. While this was not so cold by five degrees as the record of Saturday night any number of people can be found about town ready to swear that Sundaynight was the'colder. When the sun went down Sunday evening the mercury fell six degrees in seven minutes

NOTES.

"It's up to zero" was an expression significant of joy and satisfaction. —0

Several of the Crawfordsville churches did not open at all Sunday, it being impossible to heat them. —O—

There was no school at the Central building Monday, the coal supply not being suiiicent to carry the heat until noon. —O-

Twenty years ago the late A. S. Holbrook set out in his yard on south Walnut street a sycamore tree. It is a curious fact that when the mercury is ten below zero the tree will "pop" like a gun. Those residing in the neighborhood of the Holbrook residence state that a regular bombardment has been going on there for the laBt few mornings. —O—

Farmers report that moat of the quails left from the hunting season— and there were many of them—have succumbed to the cold. —O—

Clerk Sparks has .not issued a marriage license for over a week. It is evidently too eold for the budding affections of youth. —O—

The wheat hereabouts has not been materially injured by the cold. —O—

Revivals which have been conducted in this part of the country lately, have not been phenomenally successful. Just now hell fire has no terrors for the average sinner.

The cold weather has played havoc with the cement walks and scores of them are cracked as though dynamite had been put under them. Others that as yet show no cracking, sound hollow when stepped upon, thus dera-1 onstrating a damage which will be. manifested later on. —O—

The plumbers report that they have work ahead for a month at least, arid applicants for their aid are marked down in order. No order to "come up right away" is given heed. It i6 a barber shop case of "next." —O—

Fruit growers report that the peach buds have been blighted beyond hope. —O—

The grave diggers are all but ready to go on a strike. Even in the cemeteries, where the turf i6 thick and heavy, the ground is frozen two feet deep and the work of digging a grave is twice the work ordinarily attendant on such a gruesume function. —O—

The ground in exposed places is frozen three feet deep and when it thaws will be in magnificent shape for spring work. —O—

The dams along Sugar Creek are in great danger. The ice on them is now about twenty inches thick and unless there is a very gradual thaw onuhigh water the dams will be carried out by the ice when it goes. —O-

This promises to be the star maple sugar season in history. It was a wet fall thus insuring much sap, and the many hard freezes will clinch the thing.

Farmers report great damage to their wind pumpB and acqueducts. The ducts and tanks have frozsn solidly and burst. None of them escaped. —O-

Most of the wood now coming in has been cut Bince the zero weather set in and is too green to burn decently. —O

Saloon keepers report that about the only thing called for now by their CUB* tomers is whisky straight. The customer fills the glass and swallows it without a "chaser." Beer is an unknown quantity in the trade now. —O—

In Bome places in the country a water famine prevails, resultant on the freezing up «of all the sources of supply. _o—

McDonald &• Steele have used up two car loads of coal protecting their flowers during the present cold spell and have had a man feeding their furnaceB night and day. They have not lost a plant.in their greenhouses. —O—

The loss of house plants and canned frnit has been immense.

Bookkeeping Made Easy.

There is more than one way to keep an account-book. The method of one (woman is In the direction of simplifying the distracting matters of debit and eredit. Mrs. Calloway is extravagant In her expenditures for housekeeping, aocording to her husband's ideas. With a view to rectifying this failing, h« recently bought her an attractive l'lttl« account-book, and carefully explained Ita use to her. "Now," he said, "here twenty-flve dollars. Put down what I give you on one side, and your expenditures on the other. When that money is gone you shall have more." A few days after, he asked to see the book, which Mrs. Calloway produced •with an air of modest pride. On one page was written, "Received from John, twenty-flve dollars." On the opposite page stood one comprehensive and indisputable entry—"Spent it all."

Caate In Cnba.

A Spaniard was born in Spain. His son, who was born in Cuba, is not a Spaniard, but a Cuban. If a Cuban should go to Madrid when he is two weeks old, and spend all his life in the palace, he would still be a Cuban, and not quite as good as a Spaniard. If a Spaniard should go to Havana when he is two weeks old, and spend all his life in that city or upon a plantation, he would still be a Spaniard, and enjoy the distinction and social position which a Cuban can never attain. The sons and daughters of a Spaniard are Cubans If they are born in Cuba but the sons and grandsons and great-grandsons of a Cuban must always be Cubans, no matter if they were born in Madrid and spend their whole lives In that city. No Cuban can ever become a Spaniard, 110 matter what happens to him, and from the Spanish point of view he la a degenerate.—Chautauquan.

All lu One Hotel.

A man registered in a Cleveland hotel the other day, giving his place of residence as Sleepy Eye, Minn. Half an hour later another registered from Painted Post, Iowa. The clerk paid no especial attention to this, but when the next man to register boldly wrote "White Pigeon, Mich," after his name, both the clerk and the bookkeeper began to get interested. While they were talking about the queer names that had been given to some of our Western towns a dignified-looking man stepped up to the office, whirled the register around and scrawled "Horseheads, N. Y."

Clearance Sale!

We wish to inform the general publip of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county, also adjoin' ing counties, that we have now commenced one of the Greatest Challenge Sales of Dry Goods. Notions, Cloaks and Capes, Carpets, Rugs and Mattings ever attempted in Crawfords^ ville or in any other part of the state on the class of goods which is the best that can be bought by this store. WE NOT ONLY DEFY HOME COMETITION BUT ANY IN THE STATE. The reason for this Great Sacrifice will be plain to you when we say that our business this fall has been the largest in many years. To do the immense business we were compelled to carry a much larger stock than usual. The consequence is, we have too many goods on hand, and owing to our limited space we must shove them out at some price to make room for the immense spring purchases which will soon begin to arrive. We also wish to thank all of our customers for their liberal patronage during the past year,
