THE GOLDEN RULE.

FOR A STREET FAIR.

A Unanimous Sentiment Favors the Enterprlse—Well Attended Meeting Last Tuesday.

There was a well attended meeting of business menTuesdayevening to consider the matter of a repetition of the street fair this year. The sentiment of the meeting was unanimously in favor of the enterprise and the Orawfordsville street fair was voted a permanent institution. By a motion the old officers continued in office with the exception of D. H. Jackson, who is succeeded as treasurer by Henry Campbell. President Ramsey made an interesting address concerning the coming fair and advised profiting by last year's experiences. Others also spoke and a very considerable enthusiasm was manifested. It was decided to leave the appointment of an executive committee to the presidert and he will make his choice within a day or so. The executive committee will select the time of holding the fair and arrange other preliminaries. The

Beu-

timent Tuesday was decidedly against a summer fair and it is altogether likely that some week in October will be chosen, probably before the middle of the month.

A WORD TO ANGLERS-

Attorney General Taylor Construes the Fish Law for Them.

Attorney General Taylor is almost swamped with letters asking for a construction of the new law regarding fishing and as so many irequests came in he has caused many copies of the following letter to be made and these are sent out to all inquiries: "The plain meaning of section 4, of the new fish law, is that no fish whatever can be taken in tbe months of May and June, and that no fish may be taken, excepting from Lake Michigan, the Ohio river and private ponds, in any other way than with a hook and line between Jan. 1 and April l."

Funeral of Rev. J. I. Smith.

Lafayette Courier: The remains of the late Rev. John L. Smith, of Valparaiso, were brought here this afternoon for interment. Short services were conducted at the grave by Rev. Samuel Beck, of Valparaiso, and Rev. J. T. McMullen, who paid beautiful tributes to the life of the deceased. The pallbearers were the following local clergymen: C. B. Wilcox, T. J. Bassett, George W. Switzer, 0. B. Mock, C. A. Brooke and Samuel Godfrey.

Worthily Bestowed. 'v

Lafayette Courier: John C. Wingate's appointment as a tax commissioner for the state is a position worthily bestowed. He comes from the neighboring county of Montgomery, and by residence is associated with that part of the state which produces the right kind of men. He has extensive acquaintance, is familiar with the state at large, is a man of affairs, has good judgment and will fill the position faithfully and well. The governor has made a satisfactory choice.

Will Tbrripgon's Latest.

Indianapolis Journal: Mr. Will H. Thompson, author of the famous poem, "High Tide at Gettysburg," only writes for publication occasionally, but what he does print is worth the reading. "The Bond of Blood," in the March Century is a strong poem and one that deserves to stand beside the other. Mr. Thompson is a brother of Maurice Thompson.

G- O. P. WILL WIN.

Mr. Landis Thinks That It Can't Be Beaten Either on the Money or the Philippine Question—Was Thanked by McKlnley.

Indianapolis Sun: Charley Landis, the quick-witted congressman of district 9, who figured in the sensational incident of the recent congress, when Henry U. Johnson delivered the stinging invectives against the President and the Philippine policy, was at the Denison Monday. It was Landis who drew from his pocket a pile of telegrams from prominent Republicans and editors of Johnson's district, denouncing his attitude.

In speaking of the matter Monday Mr. Landis said that]he felt that something had to be said to prevent the nation from thinking that Indiana indorsed the attitude of Johnson toward the President. "I felt that I would not dare come home and be asked, 'Was there no congressman from Indiana who could answer Johnson and set Indiana right before the nation?'" "Beforo I came home," Mr. LandiH relates, "I called at the white house. The President said to me: 'I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that speech.'

Mr. Landis thinus the Republican party was never in better condition in Indiana than it is to-day. It is his opinion that the money question haB become a devitalized issue with the growth of prosperous business conditions. It was suggested to him that the Philippine question would probably be the predominant in 1900. Of this he thinks that the American nation will never consent to haul down the flag and sail away, even if it takes ten years to secure absolute control, under any circumstances that would be humiliating. He thinks the Republican party iB safe in any event on that score. He inclines to think that the money question is more likely to be "it" than the Philippine.

For some time the name of Landis has been mentioned in giving lists of candidates for governor. The con gressman would make no statement on this subject, excepting that it is two years until that matter is taken up, and meantime his duties are in congress. Landis' recent utterances in C0Dgre6s, showing complete accord with the President, some assert, will make him the logical administration candidate for governor. He will be at home in Delphi this summer, where he is building a new house.

MRS- HARRIET MILLIGAN DEAD.

A Charitable and Lovely Woman Whose Life Was Given to Good Deeds.

The many friends of Mrs. Harriet N. Milligan, relict of Joseph Milligan, were last Tuesday shocked to learn of her death, which occurred Monday night at the home of her son, Harry J. Milligan, in Indianapolis. As 1B generally known her health had not been vigorous for several years, but her death was not anticipated. Only last Saturday she went to Indianapolis to spend several weeks with her son and his family and appeared then in her usual health, although somewhat nervous and weak. Monday was her birthday and she was with the family as usual, the event being quite happily observed. Mr. Milligan was called out in the evening and when ho returned about 11 o'clock he found his mother ill. A doctor was hastily called in, but all efforts to revive her proved unavailing and she died quietly at halt past twelve The body was brought here on Tuesday for interment, the funeral occurring on Thursday.

Mrs. Milligan was the daughter of Eleazer and Lavina Fullenwider and was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, on March 13, 1835. In 1834 Bhe came with her parents to this county, the family settling between Brown's Valley and Waveland. There, in September, 1853, she was married to Joseph Milligan. Two children were born to them, Harry J. Milligan, now of Indianapolis, and Miss Anna Milligan, whose sad death occurred a few years ago, shortly before that of her father.

Mrs. Milligan was a member of the Center Presbyterian church and was one of its most liberal and consistent adherents. Her life was a beautiful example of Christian charity and grace and was replete with good works. She was never ostentatious in her kindly works, and the good she did was quietly done still her home was known as a haven of relief to scores of tbe poor of Crawfordsville, and no applicant for aid was ever turned from her door empty handed. She not only succored those who sought her bounty but she went further and

Bought

out

avenues through which she might turn aid to the needy and deserving. Quiet, kindly and sincerely Christian, her memory will always be, to those who knew her life, her noblest monument.

REUBEN SMITH DEAD.

An Old and Respected Citizen of Crawfordsville Passes Awiiy Tuesday.

Last Tuesday about half past eleven o'clock, a. ID.

Reuben Smith died at his

home on east College street, after an illness of several weeks. The funeral occurred on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Baptist church, Rev. Dr. Runyau officiating.

Reuben Smith was born in Phila delphia on January 29, 1823, and in the Btate of Pennsylvania grew to manhood, learning the wagon makers trade. On March 11, 1847, he was mar ried to Miss Francis A. Holland, who survives him with one son, Adoniram Smith, of Peoria, 111. A second son George, died several years ago. Mr and Mrs. Smith came to CrawfordB' ville in 1856 and established a wagon factory here, his partner in the business being John Griffin. Their shop occupied the present site of Dr Whitenaok's residence and the black smith shop pertaining to it stood where Wm. Martin's residence now stands. Later Mr. Griffin retired from the business and Mr. Smith continued it alone until his death. His shop stands opposite the Robbins House and has been used as a voting place for years. Mr. Smith was one of the most respected and honored of our citizens He had been a member of the Baptist church since early life and was one of the substantial working members of the denomination here. He had been an Odd Fellow for thirty-five years and stood high in the councils of the order. He was a good citizen in all that term implies and his death will be sincerely mourned in all circles wharn hn was known.

After the Midland.

Oscar Imel, of New Ross, has entered suit against the Midland railroad company for $4,000 damages.

Cattle guards decorated the switch yards of the road and an employe was liable to meet death at any time while at work t^iere. Imel escaped with the loss cf a leg and not satisfied with escaping alive he wants money.

SIMONIDES COURT.

The Fifth served--An

Anniversary Is Happily Ob» Excellent Programme and a Banquet.

The fifth anniversary of the installation of Simonides Court, Tribe BenHur, was duly observed last Monday in the hall of the court. The spacious hall was prettily decorated and about one hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen were present., enjoying the evening's entertainment to the utmost. The stated programme was carried out and the music, recitations and addressee were all of a high order of excellence. The historical Bketch of the court by Oneal Watson was a most interesting feature and from it some idea of the beneficent work of the court in Crawfordsville can be gained. Since the foundation of the order there have been ten deaths in Simonides Court, resulting in a payment of benefits to the relatives of the deceased amounting to 818,300, The court now has 400 members and is doing a splendid work, being in the bast of condition both financially and socially. In conclusion Mr. Watson said: "Now a parting word to our membere do you fully realize the worth of this order to yourselves and to our citj? There is not a member of this

community who does not deserve a benefit from it directly or indirectly, and in time these benefits will increase aB the order grows. If you could only visit cities and see how others esteem it and the broad advertising it is giving our city you would be astonished to think that there should be an indifference amoung our citizens to its jvorth. You are interested as a stockholder to the amount of your certificate, is it right to treat your interests indiferently attend the meetings occasionaly and encourage those who are not only working for their own interest but years also. It is the little things, remember, that help along in life.

Little by little wrong gives wav, Little by little right has sway, Little by little the good In men, Blossoms forth to human ken Little by little the angels see The promised good that Is to be. Little by little the Lord of all.

Lifts us nearer his pleading call," Following the programme a bounteous banquet was spread and the evening's guests were royally regaled .The entertainment was a most delightful one, and it was eleven o'clock before the assembly broke up.

He Pushed Mrs. Zeph.

1

Charles Stephenson, with a look of"'1 injured innocence that should have been patented on the spot, stood before Mayor Elmore on Wednesday charged with the heinous crime of having pushed Mrs. Zeph Newlin. The Newlins reside in a luxurious oriental flat on north Green street and Tuesday evening as the dreamy eyed female attendants were twanging the strings of the zithers among the palms in the music room Stephenson came staggering in laboring under the butt end of a heavy jig. Zeph arose and with the grace of the great prophet himself bade him welcome. To this courteBy Charles responded, "Go to, thou cleaner of poisoned wells and catcher of Bcabby dogs. May the hour! that attend thee in paradise be possessed of sore eyes and curly teeth." These words rankled in the breast of Zeph and he picked up »a mahogany wash tub to brain the insulting intruder when Mrs. Zeph Bprang from her silken divan to intervene. Stephen rudely pushed her over the'stove and decamped like a well canned dog. He was arrested soon after, however, and Wednesday was duly fined for his unneighborly conduct.

That afternoon a fleet footed messc nj* ger boy Bquealing with fright, arrived at the police station and stated that Stephenson was hard at work killing his wife at their cheerful home. 'J.'he officers hurried to the spot and found that the report was true. Mr. Stephenson was walking on the partner of his joys and attempting to spread her face out on the floor to a sufficient extent to permit of its doing service as a mat. He was patted on the head a few times with a club and then led off to the jail, where he lies chewing a part of that 814 worth of tobacco allowed this term of the commissioners' court.

Coy Sir. Croy.

Wednesday in the circuit court, Allie Croy sued for a divorce from her Jim Croy, who left her derelict when the^natural gas had a pressure of less than an ounce and the grocer's bill a pressure of ten tons. She asks no alimony and has no hankering for her maiden name.
