FIRE AT THORNTOWN.

The Place ia Visited By a Costly Blaze at an Early Hour Wednesday.

Spcclal to the Journal. Thorntown, Ind., Mar. 22.—This morning at 3 o'clock fire whs discovered to have broken out iujttae new K. of P. building, and the whole town was quickly aroused. The fire department worked hard and well and succeeded in confining the fire to the building in which st originated, although a drug store adjoining was damaged very materially and all the bnildings on the square to a greater or less extent. The K. of P. building had two fine business rooms and theBe were occupied by the Witt & Irwin «drygoods store and the W. A. Miller] grocery. Both these storeB were gutted by the fire, scarcely any of the goods being saved. The K. of P. hall upstairs, dedicated only a few weeks ago, was also a complete loss, nothing being saved.

The loss on the building was about $8 000, with 80.000 insurance. Witt ft Irwin's loss was 87,000, well insured.

Miller's grocery store loss was $3,000, possibly half insured. The W. 0. Burke drug store was damaged in the sum of $1,500 and was fully insured.

The other losses were slight and will not aggregate over 8500. The fire originated in the basement of the dry goods store from some unknown cause

PHARMACY LAW.

Will Not Go luto Kfl'ect Until June 1 Many Inquiries.

Arthur Timberlake, secretary of the Indiana Pharmaceutical Association, is receiving daily a large number of letters from druggists of the state who desire information as to the time the new pharmacy law will go into effect and the steps necessary for them to register under the law. The new law will not go into effect until about June 1. Governor Mount has said that he will not appoint the members of the state board until that time. As all details regarding the manner of registration are left by the law to the state board, no information on that subject can yet be given.

RULE.

Prosecutor lleeves Will Enforce the Lav Relating to Heavy Hauling' On the Koads.

Prosecutor Reeves has filed an affidavit against J. M. Videl, the local manager of the Standard oil company, charging him with heavy hauling over the county gravel roads, contrary to the provisions of the statutes. He has also filed a second affidavit against the gentleman charging him with cruelty to animals, there having baen much complaint concerning the terrible manner in which the horses attached to the oil company's mammoth wagon, are overworked. Prosecutor Reeves expresses his determination to enforce the heavy h&uling law. He states that all supervisors and road supsrintendeuts are liable to indictment before the grand jury for failure to report the cases oi'»too heavy hauling that come under their observation. They are also obliged to keep the roads in repair during the wet sjason. Already several complaints have been lodged agiiast some of these oilijials and there are threats of others being hauled up. The next session of the grand jury will likely be an interesting one.

LEFT FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

Trip by Senator lleveridge Wlilcli Onuses Surprise.

Indianapolis News: Albert J. Baveridge, Indiana's new United States senator, accompanied by bis wife, started for the Philippine islands t%t 11:35 to-day. He expects to be gone three months. The trip will consume about one month each way, leaving one month for stay in China and the Philippines. The senator and Mrs. Beveridge wiTl sail from Vancouver, 0., the middle of next week on the steamship Empress of India The first stop will be at Yokohama. From there the senator will go to Hong Kong and from that city will take passage for the Philippines. After having completed his trip in the Philippines, he may decide to return homg by way of the Suez canal.

Senator Beveridge's trip is a surprise. He said to-day, before leaving, that he made up his mind several weeks ago to make thi6 trip. His first intention was to go away without making his destination public, but he reached the conclusion that his going might be misunderstood, so he decided to announce it "It is merely a pleasure trip," said he. "It is a good while until congress meets, and I feel that I am in need of a rest. I have always desired to take a trip of this kind, and I made up my mind to pack up and go this time. I have no definite plans. The immediate destination will be Yokohama. I shall spend soma time in China, and shall probably visit the Philippine islands

As Senator Beveridge is a pronounced expansionist, it is generally thought that he will not fail to avail himself of all the information he can gather in his trip on subjects expected to take up much time of the next congress, of which he will be a member,

Not the Snap It Was.

The poor wilL hereafter experience trouble in obtaining aid from the trustees. The new law specifies that the trustee must assist all applicants to secure work. Trustees must co-operate with voluntary relief associations to avoid unnecessary duplication of relief and the creation of families of paupers through misguided aid. Trustees can only extend aid to the extent of 815, unless authorized by the county commissioners. Able bodied non-residents are to be put at hard labor. Only nonresidents who are sick, aged or crippled, or unable to travel, may be assisted.

The county reform law enacted by the general assembly at the recent session provides that the county physician is not to be paid for attendance on poor people unless they are inmates of the county institutions.

'Conflicting Laws Discovered. Two conflicting laws passed by the last legislature have been discovered in the office of the secretary of state. Bouse enrolled act 334 provides that road supervisors shall'have charge of the repairs of rc@ds, and shall employ in the repair thereof persons living along the roads, who shall receive 81 .25 for a day's work, consisting of ten hours. House enrolled act 596 provides for a minimum wage of 15 cents an hour on all public work of state, county, city or town. At a ten hour schedule of work, a laborer would receive 81.50, instead of 81.25. The latter law contains an emergency clause, but the first one does not.

AFTER THEM. QUIET HOME WEDDING.

The Marriage of James M. Hose and SlUs Anna Laura Grubb Occurs Tuesday Kvening.

Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Grubb, of east College street, occurred the marriage of Mr. James M. Hose, of Linden, and Miss Anna Laura Grubb. The affair was a very quiet one, IOBS than twenty of the relatives of the contracting parties being present. The service was void of all form and was impressively performed by Dr. E. H. Brumbaugh, pastor of the First M. E church. The bride was attired in a handsome reception gown of changeable silk and carried bride's roses. Upon the conclusion of the ceremony congratulations were extended and a wedding supper was served. The happy couple left at midnight for Linden where a handsomely appointed residence awaited their coming and where they will hereafter be at home to their friends. Both bride and groom are well and popularly known not only in Crawfordsville but all over the county and their many friends unite in wishing them all happiness. Mr. Hose has been for some years connected with the railway mail service and is a gentleman who enjoys the esteem and confidence of all who know him. His bride is a young lady of many accomplishments and possessed of the most excellent traits of character. Those present from out of the city at the ceremony were: Walter Grubb, of Indianapolis, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Snyder and children and Mrs. Funk, of Ladoga-

LEFT A FORTUNE.

•Jacob ftletzger Will Retire ftml Take Life lor the Balance of His Days.

Jacob Metzger has returned from Chicago where he has been on busineEs connected with the estate of his late brother, W. H. Metzger. It was known that the deceased was a man of large property but Jacob's friends here hardly expected that he would fare so well as he has. W. H. Metzger was never married and under the law Jacob will come into a property from his estate valued at all the way from $25,000 to 850,000 He is preparing to leave this city and will go to Lancaster, Pa., in a few weeks, considerable of his property being there. He expects his children to live with him.

Death of Sirs. Clara Walls Woodward. Sandusky (0.,) Register: The announcement in Thursday morning's Register of the death of Mrs. Col. Woodward was a sudden and painful shock to a wide circle of friends. It was known that she had been in poor health for some time, but it was confidently hoped that her Bojourn in the mild southern climate during the severe later months of the winter would restore her to health. Mrs. Woodward returned from Datonia, Florida, on the 10th and was taken seriously ill soon after arrival. Everything that medical skill and loving care could do was done, but after an apparent improvement which gave those near her renewed hope of her recovery, she began to fail suddenly and rapidly on Thursday as the sun was setting, and passed to the life immortal Boon after 9 o'clock that evening.

Clara L. Walls was born at Greencastle, Ind., December the 29th, 1856. Later she removed with her parents to Crawfordsville where she grew to womanhood. Oct. 19, 1880, she waB married to Col. W. W. Woodward, coming at once to Sandusky, which has been her home since—a period of eighteen and one-half years. Never of strong constitution she had not enjoyed robust health for some yearB, but that did not deter her from manifold works for others. The home fraB the shrine of mutual happiness, confidence and contentment. The activities of her church, a center not only of her concern but her personal aid and labor her friends in the social and lit erary circles where her presence was prized, were the objects ofj her unselfish interest and the poor the beneficiaries of her helping hand.

The Nineteenth Century Club, of which Mrs. Woodward was a charter member, adjourned immediately on meeting Thursday morning aB a mark of respect to her memory.

The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the residence on east Washington street, in the presence of a large number of friends and neighbors. Many beautiful iloral tributes were silent witnesses to the affectionate regard in which the deceased was held.

Death of John Dewey.

John Dewey, a well known citizen of Coal Creek township, died Tuesday night at ten o'clock. The funeral occurred on Thursday at theNew Richmond Christian church, of which he had long been a member. Mr. Dewey was born in this state on October 6, 1822. In 1848 he was married to Sarah Gammon, who died after one son, James, had been born. In 1851 Mr. Dewey was married to Miss Catharine Gammon, a sister of his first wife, and to them six children were born, William, Frank, Joseph, Scott, Howard and MrB. Charles Zook.

THE TAX LEVY.

Montgomery County Shows lip With ller Neighbors Hounlabout.

It is as natural to kick on the tax levy as ib is io oreathe. We hear of plenty of objection and protest here at home, but Montgomery county bears most favorable comparison with her neighbors. The report of the 6tate treasurer for 1898 is out and shows the following levies as standing in the fifteen counties roundabout here:

FOR 1898.

Av. tax levy

Counties. per $100. Hendricks $1.86 Carroll- 1,58 Clinton 1.29 Hancock 1,48 Tipton

The average county debt of all these counties—Marion excepted—is 8105,38G. The debt of Montgomery county is only 820,000 and there is every prospect that this will be paid off this year, allowing the new county council to begin with a clean book and an unobstructed way.

KEE APPOINTED BRIGADIER.

He 111 Take Charge of the Indiana Guard at Once.

Governor Mount on Tuesday announced the formal appointment of Gan. Will J. McKee as the commander of the new national guard, with the title of brigadier general. The news was not surprising from the fact that, over three months ago, during a visit to Indianapolis, Gen. McKee practically admitted that the place had been offered to him, and that he would accept if he was discharged from the federal service in time to take part in the reorganization of the national guard in this state.

Before it was known that the army would be disbanded as suddenly as it was the place was offered to Gen. Nicholas R. Ruckle and Col. JameB R. Ross, but both declined to serve. Gen. McKee has served in the Indiana militia for over twenty years. He will be given full charge of the new guard and will assume his duties at once. It is expected that, for a time, at least, his organization will be small one, compared with the one which was mustered into the federal service last spring, but the ultimate purpose is to bring it up to the old strength as soon as an adequate appropriation has been allowed by the general assembly.
