WHO CAN THEY BE?

Crawfordsville Couple Said to Been Leading the (ia at Darlington.

Special to the Journal. DARLINGTON, Ind., March, 27.—Darlington bad quite a little sensation Saturday evening and yesterday morning in which a Crawfordsville couple played the leading roleB. On Thursday they arrived here at dark and put up at Bunt's hotel. They did not register but the man said that the young woman was his wife. He was a heavy set man about forty years of age and had a black mustache. The young woman was a tall and well formed blonde, to whom the man was very much attached as he was repeatedly heard to call her "lovie." The woman kept close to their room while the man spent his time working insurance. The couple acted strangely and would not come to their inea's until the rest of the boarders had left the dining room. Saturday evening after dark they slipped quietly from their room and went out for a walk in the suburbs of town. When they returned some people who had formerly lived at Crawfordsviiie were in the hotel office and when the man and woman entered they recognized them. One of them started to shabe hands with the girl but she threw her hands over her face and ran upstairs, the man following her. The next morning Roe Miller was employed to take them to Colfax, where they took the Big Four train.

Landlord Hunt was very indignant be cause he had been imposed on and made the man pay high rates in Bpite of his protests. A number of Darlington people know who the parties are but they are not telling anybody. The man they Bay has a wife in Crawfordsville. The girl's people also live in Crawfordsville.

Funeral of Bige Bayless.

Few private citizens who have died in Crawfordsville have had higher tributes paid their memory than was paid that of Bige Bayless at his funeral Sunday. The concourse assembled for the occasion was one of the largest that every gathered in Crawfordsville for a similar event and there was throughout a pervading sentiment of genuine regret at his untimely death. The large auditorium of the Christian church was wholly inadequate to accommodate those wishing admission and the line of vehicles that followed the body to its resting place at Oak Hill seemed almost endless. The three orders with which Mr. Bayless was prominently identified, the E. of P., the Red Men and the P. O. S. of A., were out in full force and at the grave an abbreviated form of the burial Bervice of each was rendered. The funeral proper took place at the church, where Dr. Tharp delivered an appropriate and eloquent adress. The pallbearers were J. A. Booe, C. Wilhite, Henry Coolman, George Dickerson, C. «W. Davis and James Barr. Those who bore the many beautiful floral tributes were William Rogers Frank Hallowell, George Rutledge and Walter Schleppy.

Simon Vindes for Home mission. Indianapolis News: Simon Yandes of this city, has given $5,000 to the cause of home missions in Indiana The sum will become a part of the Yandes home mission fund, which had its beginning a number of years ago in a bequest of 85,000 by the father of Mr. Yandes. The fund is in charge of a committee, consisting of George Yandes, H. J. Milligan and W. H. Hubbard, appointed by the Presbyterian synod of Indiana. Mr. Yandes, in giving the $5,000 stipulates only that it Bhall be invested in real estate Marion county. The home missions committee expects that the fund will be greatly added to in the future.

Cirebro-Spinal Meningitis Inquiry. The Btate board of health has re ceived a circular letter from the Uni ted States marine hospital Bervice aBking statistics in regard to the prev alence of cerebro spinal meningitis or "spotted fever," in Indiana. The disease, Dr. Hurty says, has been found to be infectious, but it is not exactly known how it spreads from one place to anotber. The marine hospital service, which is a kind of national board of health, is attempt ing to find out more about the disease

Some Uncertainty About I'ay of Truancy OIHccrs Now at Work.

By a provision of a law enacted by the last legislature, containing an emergency clause, there are legally no truancy officers in the state. The officers in most of the counties, however, are continuing in their duties as they did before the new law was passed, and no serious difficulty is expected. The bill which became a law is that introduced by Senator Gill. It proposed, before it was amended, to abolish all truancy officers, and to place the duties of such officers into the hands of township trustees. The amendments which were offered defeated this end, but the senator succeeded in getting his bill through, with the provision that there was to be only one truancy officer in a county, except in some instances, where a certain school population would allow more than one officer.

Senator Gill's bill is known as senate act No. 360. It amends the acts of 1897, page 248, so as to require that children shall be sent to school for a term or period not less than the term of the public schools of the school corporation in which they live, instead of for only twelve weeks. It also applies to children between tbe ages of six and fourteen years instead of eight and fourteen, as formerly.

Under the old law some counties had more than one truancy officar, where, under the new law, there can be only one such officer. Oa this point is where the difficulty has arisen. Some county superintendents have noticed this provision, and have written to the Btate board of education and to the secretary of the board of state charities on the question. The county superintendents and the members of the truancy board can do nothing, however, until the time comeB for the reappointment of truancy officers.

Amos W. Butler, member of the state truancy board, ex-officio, as secretary of the board of state charitieB, has advised the county superintendents of the state to nominate for reappoint ment some former truancy officer, if he is competent, for the position, over any new applicant for the place,

Many truancy officers are going on in their duties, without knowing that they have been discontinued by the Gill law. Others, who have been apprised of the fact, are still working at the risk of not receiving their money for the interval between the death of the old law and the appointment of the new truancy officers.

In the greater number of cases the Gill law will not affect the county truancy officers, for in many counties there is only one such officer. If this man has given good service, he will probably be reappointed to the position he has held, and will receive compensation at the same rate—82 a day— for the interval before appointment under the new law. In counties where there are two or more truancy officers there will be more difficulty in settling the question, although Mr. Butler says it is not likely that any truant officer who has fulfilled his duty will fail to receive his pay for his work.

Counties having cities of more than 5,000 school population can be divided into more than one district and more than one truancy officer appointed. Cities of 40,000 school population may have five truancy officers. The new law will not, it is said affect IndianapoliB.

A 1'ecullar Death.

Last Monday Will Britton, aged 16 years, died at the home of his grandfather, William Ansberry, on east Franklin street. The funeral took place Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Bernard's Catholic church, interment at Calvary. The death was rather a peculiar one, the boy being sick less than twenty-four hours. He was taken ill quite suddenly and grew rapidly worse until death relieved his sufferings, which were acute. It has been reported that he died of Bpinal meningitis, but the at tendant physician, Dr. Ensminger, de nies this, although giving no name to the disease which terminated so fatally.

NEW TRUANCY LAW. JEFFERSON WON'T BE THERE.

The One-Time Apostle of Simplicity In Favor of a $lO-a-I*late Feast,

Kat Democratic feed

Not

The New York Sun has a reply in rhyme from Thomas Jefferson, from the other side, to Perry Belmont, in which the Sage of Monticello declines to be present at the Belshazzar $10 aplate feast, as follows:

My name is Thomas Jelloraon, And I'm that worthy he Who first Invented JelTerso-

Nian simplicity.

I have some little history Which I might call to mind, Hut 1 ignore it all to stand

The simplest of my kind.

'Twas 1 who made economy A party platform plank, And did my level best to down

All pomp and show and rank.:

These being my first principles, 1 hardly think there's need To say 1 can't consistently

On which your invitation Has bidden me to fare, AVhere I'm informed ten dollars is

The price of eating there.

For every man who takes a plate, Gee whiz! Ten dollars! Why, At such a whopping price as that

The whole thing must be pie!

But pie or not, I won't be there Such feed will not agree In any case with Jell'erBo-

Nian simplicity.

And when you use my name for such A feed as that, you do .i Much dirt to one who never has

Done anything to you. Good-by!

HICKS FOR APRIL.

Says the Month Will Be a Stormy One-•To Grow Warmer.

In another week the April fool joker will be getting in his work, and aB Rav. Irl Hicks, the famed weather prognosticator, hit the disagreeableness of March so squarely in his prediction, much interest will center in what he promises for April. It ia not very encouraging, but here it is:

April begins near a reactionary storm period. From about 2d to 4th it will turn much warmer, barometer will fall and rain areas will croBB the country. Much colder about 6th to 8th. Heavy April showers may be expected from 8 th to 12 th. Hail in many sections with possible Bleet and .snow in extreme north. Much cooler with frosts in central and northern sections, about 12th to 14th. From 14th to 16th look for return of falling barometer, rising temperature and many April showers and storms. Colder progreB' eively from west during 16th to 19th. From 19 th to 22d a marked low barometer and stormB, attended by rain, hail and thunder, will traverse the country from weBt to east. Very cool nights with frost in the northerly parts will follow. About the 25th to the 27th is the last April storm period. It will bring much warmer days, a low barometer and heavy dashes of rain and hail.

The Passover.

With Saturday night the Jewish people began the observance of the "Week of the Passover," or Easter, which lasts until after Easter Sunday. During this period the Jewish people pertake of no bread that is levened, but in lieu of which matzos, or a sort of cracker is used. In the larger cities a number of services are held during the week but in all Jewish homes the services conducted in the family circles are more beautiful than those conducted in the temples or synagogues. The various devotional services of the Jews are probably more closely adhered to than any other denomination.

A Ghastly Joke.

The report was put in circulation laBt Friday that Miss Maude Cason was ill with the smallpox at the home of Dr. May, and the report was industriously passed around all over town It has no foundation whatever in fact Miss Cason is slightly ill, but her phy siciane. Drs. May and Barcus, state there is nothing even Buggestive of smallpox in her case.

BAYING BLOODHOUNDS.

The City Will Be Chock Full of These A n\l I able Man Katers for Couple of Days Next Month,

People who have children that are hard to control may be able to terrorize the little toughs by telling them of the bloodhound convention that iB to be held in Crawfordsville next month. On April 12 and 13 the American Bloodhound Association for Indiana will hold its annual meet and field trials in this city, and all the bloodhound breeders of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio will be here to show off their Btock and compete for honors. The dogs that are coming to take part are some of them very famouB animals and all the good stock of the west will be here. The followiug is a programme of the convention:

AlMtIL

That Mortgage Exemption.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Representative James, of Putnam county, was a caller at the office of the attorney-gen-eral yesterday. He said in hia county owners of several pieces of mortgaged property are deducting 8700 from each piece. AB this is clearly against the law, the attorney-general informed Mr. James that the law allows one man to exempt but 8700 of mortgaged debt and he can choose which piece he wants tbe exemption made from. Mr. James says the auditor of Putnam county intends to enter all property for taxation and await an expected decision from the supreme court. If the law is upheld then the deduotionB will be made. Exception is taken to this as the law stands on the statute books and must be presumed to be in force until overthrown by the supreme court

llooker T. Washington.

Indianapolis News: Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, haB been invited to deliver a lecture before the Lyceum, in Birmingham, Ala., on "Some Phrases of the Negro Problem." The Lyceum is composed exclusively of cultured and intellectual white men and women of Birmingham. The invitation to Mr. Washington is perhaps the first that has ever been extended to a colored man by a similar southern organization. Complimentary to both, it is more complimentary to the organization than it is to Mr. Washington. It indicates that the organization has apprehended one of the first elements of wisdom, namely, the conquest of prejudice. We congratulate the institn* tion as well as Mr. Washington.

An Alaskan Leader.

The press dispatches from Alaska mention Arthur A. McConahay aB the leader of the Americans in the boundary dispute troubles and speak of him in the most complimentary terms. He is a brother of Mrs. Andrew Yount, of this city, and a nephew of B. R. Russell. He has been in Alaska for quite a number of years and has been prominent in the development of the country.
