A LAUNDRY FIRE.

The Iiainonl Laundry Sliders Severe Loss lly Flames—Much I.iun Destroyed.

Tuasday night about 12 o'clock an alarm of fire called the department to the plant of the Diamond laundry company on south Washington street. Three alarms had been turned in from different boxes so the department was in some doubt at first but as soon as the exact location of the fire had been determined a quick run was made and fine work done on the building which was all ablaze when the firemen reached the scene. The rear part of the building was destroyed as was the office rooms but the dry room in the basement escaped and very fortunately too as it contained a large amount of laundry which had been washed and which was drying there. In the oflice room was a large amount of linen which was destroyed. All the stuff collected Monday morning was there tied up ready for«delivery on WedneEdoy and not even a frayed collar escaped to tell t^e story. The owners have a complete record of what was there, however, so no one can run in a bogus claim on them.

The department soon had the blaze under control and the plant is not a complete loss. The machinery is badly damaged of course but some of it can be made about as good as ever. The lose is placed at 83,000 with 81,000 insurance in the Bockford and the Scottish Union and National companies.

There is some doubt as to the origin of the fire but it is supposed to have started in the boiler rooms. The help all left the building at seven o'clock and everything was then apparently all right. At half past eleven G. W. L. Brown was going home and noticed sparks coming out of the chimney and thinking all was not right started to go to the laundry building but hearing some one whistling near there supposed that night work was in progress and turning about went home.

Several years ago when W. R. GOBnell was operating a laundry there he suffered a complete loss by fire. The spot seems an unlucky one for steam laundries.

Death of Alias Mary Howard.

Miss Mary Howard, who several years ago taught in the Crawfordsviile schools, died Monday at Frankfort. The Frankfort Crescent says: "At 3:30 o'clock this morning at the home of Mrs. Weldon, her sister, on south Columbia street, occurred the death of Miss Mary Howard of heart trouble, after an illness of several years. Deceased was born in Vermillion county, Illinois, and was 47 years old. For a number of years

can do it, and the crowds that daily visit our Millinery Department prove this to be the case.

Phil Hauk Home.

Phil Hauk arrived last Tuesday from the Jeffersonville reformatory. He looked exceedingly spruce in a new spring Buit and was apparently none the worse for bis experience in the prison. He says that he was treated elegantly at the reformatory and really had a snap there, being superintendent of the prison farm, and so out of doors from Monday morning until Saturday night. Beyond the fact that he was a prisoner he could have found no more congenial employment anywhere. He is not fully determined as yet wh&t business he will engage in but will for awhile at least visit at his father's home near Waynetown, going there Tuesday afternoon.

William A. Davis is Fearful That Ke Will Have to Settle Dome Notes.

William A. Davis, the Pike street liveryman, is fearful that he is in it to the tune of 84,500 as a result of having endorsed paper. Several months ago he went on a number of notes for various indigent parties over the county, doing so at the request of A. H. Willard, the well known horseman, who is now located out near llrbana, 111. It was the understanding of Mr. Davis that Willard would see that these notes were promptly paid,'but it now develops that he did not do BO The notes are falling due and Mr. Davis, who is worth about 82,500, is lacing §4,500 in obligations from which presumably, he never benefited.

Some of the holders of^this paper are: E. C. Voris, G. F. Grimes, Judge West, Elijah Clore and son, C. 0. McFarland and others. There are some of the creditors who are secured by mortgage but the others are not. There are several peculiar stories told regarding the notes but as reports cannot be substantiated as yet they would best be left untold.

Just Change in the l'enslon I.aw.

Copies of the act of congress of Mar. 3, 1899, regulating the distribution of pensions have been received by local pension agents. The act provides that when a pensioner refuses to support his family, and upon reliable evidence of this fact being furnished the pension office in Washington, one-half of the pension shall be paid to the wife of the pensioner for the support of the minor children. It is said that there area number of pensioneis in this section who will be effected by the law. The first case considered under the law in Indiana came from New Albany. A colored woman's husband deserted her several years ago and is now residing at Indianapolis. She heard of the new law and consulted an attorney, who advised her to send her proofs of desertion to the pension bureau. She did so several days ago and as her proof was ample, she will receive one-half of his next quarterly allowance of 836.

Brown's Valley School.

Last Friday was tbe close of the Brown's Valley school. The teachers and pupils have been perfectly harmonious, the result being the best progress ever made in the history of the school. The patrons are proud of the advancement made by their children under the special efforts of the teachers, H. F. Johnson and Miss Maude Allen. They gave an entertainment to the patrons and friends that is rarely surpassed, consisting of music, recitations, dialogues and tableaux. The best of attention was given throughout the entire programme, considering the crowded house, which was a token of profound respect for teachers and pupils. The patrons join in wishing them happiness and success, and Bhould their lot be cast with us for the next term of school we will gladly bid them wel come. A PATRON.

A Good Kll'ect..

We are informed that the filing of affidavits of mortgages is having one good effect not contemplated by the framers of the law. It will unearth a good many mortgages held by nonresidents and others, which being placed on the duplicate, will offset the rebates secured by the affidavits. There will probably be 1,000 of these affidavits filed in this county alone, representing 3700,000 reduction in the duplicate totals.

Traveled a ltougli Koail.

Prosecutor Reeves was in Ladoga Monday and succeeded in convicting Harry Hoadlev of four cases, all of them for allowing minors to play on his pool tables. If Ladoga should now sail in and prosecute all her tin horn gamblers she would be doing a big thing for tbe prosecutor. Ladoga has more gamblers in proportion to her population than any other town in Indiana.

Badly Humeri.

Laet Monday at the sugar camp of Candy Lewallen his eight-year-old daughter met with a very painful and dangerous accident. While playing near the furnace her clothes took fire and before her father could extinguish the llames she was terribly burned. Dr. Davidson was called out from town and dressed the burns. The child is in a critical condition.

Death of Matilda Van Cannon.

Mrs. Matilda Van Cannon, aged six-ty-six years, died Saturday evening at New Ross and was buried Monday at Mace, Rev. Mr. Ililey conducting the services. She leaves a daughter and two sons. She waB a sister of Thomac and Jesse Raines, well known citizenB of this county.

War Department Will Accept Indiana men for Philippine Servico.

Capt. Black, of the Indianapolis recruiting office, has recently made a strong recommendation to the war department that Indiana men are entitled to some preference in the Philippine service on account of tbe excellent showing made by them in recent battles and the fact that they are usually young men of good character aud much better than the promiscuous class that enters the Bervice from the large cities The result of this recommendation was the receipt of the following order by telegraph Tuesday: "You are authorized to accept suitablo men for the infantry, cavalry and artillery, for service in the Philippines and send them direct to San Francis-

promised well at the end of the winter, but late sown wheat was apparently much injured, and clover much frozen: cold, freezing weather and much rain and snow continued during the spring months, and freezing and thawing and the rains injured the wheat, especially in the northern half of the state. During the past week the weather continued cold and unfavorable, and farm work is much delayed by the inclement and unseasonable weather and the bad condition of the ground but little plowing has been done few oats and barley have been sown and few potatoes planted some young clover haB been resown but little gardening has been done a reduced number of tobacco beds have been sown rye, timothy and meadows are in fair condition, the latter begin to look green peach germs, it foared, are killed, butmore hardy fruit is apparently uninjured much maple sugar has been made.

Dogs as Properly.

There is one point in assessing property not generally understood, and that is that if, in addition to the regular dog tax paid on a dog as such, the owner thereof lists him at a certain valuation with the assessor, anyone afterward stealing such a dog or destroying him will be held responsible for larceny or for malicious destruction of property, the same as if any other piece of chattel property had been stolen or destroyed. This must not be construed as any conflict with the1 regulation dog law and the tax thereon.

On His Way Rejoicing.

Tuesday evening the police took in charge a man giving the name of Benjamin Smith, it being thought that he was insane. He was eighty-six years old and claimed to be enroute from New York state to the home of his brother near Danville, 111. He said he had been robbed in Cincinnati and when he reached here he was out of money. Wednesday Trustee Symmes furnished him transportation to Danville. The old fellow was found to be sane enough, but sadly rattled by his loss and his strange surroundings.

A Language of Their Own.

The Parke county coal mine suit has brought here quite a number of miners and their language is to itself. They speak in the lingo of the mines even when discussing matters alien to their work. They are ill at ease here and are quite anxious to forsake our place for the liashpots and saloons of Parke county. Tuesday one of the men in the hope that Judge West had concluded to hold evening sessions, approached attorney Maxwell and asked: "Say, buddy, is de old jadge goin' to put on a night shift?"

ITS VALIDITY QUESTIONED-

Some Oilicers Assert That the Kxeinption Law Is Not Oootl.

It is believed by some constitutional experts that the 8700 mortgage exempt tion law will not stand the test of the courts for a minute. A suit to test the law will probably be filed soon. The basis of attack will be that it is class legislation in favor of the person who owes a mortgage debt as against the person who owes any other kind of debt, such aB a debt for personal property. All personal property is listed for taxation against the person in whose possession it is on April 1, whether it is paid for or not. At that time of the year many storekeepers have on hand stocks of goods, which they have bought on credit. It is claimed they are discriminated againBt in having to pay taxes, to the full amount while the person who owes a mortgage debt secures) a 8700 exemption

The Floor Gave Way.

E. church in the morning and at the Presbyterian church in the evening. At both services large audiences wero present. In the evening the floor on the east side suddenly gaVe way and in one place Bank to the ground. No damage was done, but there were a number of badly frightened people and a lively scramble for safety.
