AN EXCITING DASH.

Henry Perry and Daughter iu a Lively Runaway Last Work— Lucky Escape.

Last Thursday Henry Perry and daughter, Pauline, were in a buggy going1 west on Wabash avenue west of the college, when the horse suddenly took fright at a passing bicycle and ran off. So quickly did he jump that Mr. Perry lost control and the animal, fairly wild with fright, went edashing for the green house hill. Fortunately before this was reached the occupants of the buggy were thrown out. Pauline escaped with a severe jolting and a bad scare, but Mr. Perry was not

From Crawfordsville the family removed to Battle Grouud, where they resided for fifteen years, and Mies Hall, continuing her studies, fitted herself for the profession of teaching. She was appointed teacher of the ninth-grade wi the Centennial schcol in Lafayette, her especial work being to fit her pupils for admission to the high school. This positiou she held continuously for ten year6. No better proof cculd be furnished of the excellence and thoroughness of her work. She carried into the school room, in the capacity of teacher, the same qua!1ities she had shown as a pupil—thoroughness, dilligence, cheerfulness and patience. By her own fidelity to duty she inspired those who looked to her not only for precept?-but example, and scores of young men and women went forth from her influence bettered not only mentally, but morally and spiritually. They are now scattered all over the world, in this country and in foreign lands, but there is not one that Bhe has not helped to succesb and who has not owed incalculably to the lessons which she inculcated both in the school room and out of it.

Anna E. Hall.

The community was greatly shocked last Monday to learn of the death of Miss Anna E. Hall, who passed away painlessly and peacefully about 11 o'clock on Sunday night. She had beeoj in feeble health for some time, but there had been a marked improvement within the past few months and it was hoped that she would ultimately recover.

Anna Hall was the daughter of the late George W. Hall and of Drusilla Sweringen, hia wifp. She was born in Waynetown, but removed with her parents to Crawfordsville when very young and her childhood waB spent here. Her former schoolmates can re member distinctly her dilligenca as a scholar, her obedience, her unfailing kindness and that unquestioned fidelity to duty, which, evon in childhood, gave evidence of the sterling, strong character and high principles of the future woman. Anna Hall had an unusually clear and strong mind, and as a young girl displayed an especial talent for mathematics, in which 6he Bhowed an enviable proficiency. Thote who remember her then, retain the recollection of a generous, impulsive girl, ready and willing to share her possessions with her schoolmates, or to help those who were not 60 quick and clever as herself a memory unmarred by a single instance of selfishness or pettiness or ill-temper.

From Battle Ground Mr, Hall returned to Crawfordsville, and, her health failing, Miss Hall was forced to relinquish the place she had filled so long and

BO

creditably in Lafayette.

She was a zealous and enthusiastic teacher—it was her chosen calling but devoted as she had been to its high demands, she relinquished it with the same cheerful submission that she had manifested through her whole life, and in the home literally did with her might henceforth whatever her hands found to do. Here she taught that lesson so necessary in these days of restlessness and discontent—that in the summing up, in the consideration of all the trials and difficulties, the successes aad triumphs of ordinary life, there is, in reality, nothing that can be considered of little account. The ten years in the home were years of beautiful selfBacrifice, patience and the unceasing bestowal of help and tender affection upon those about her. Though there were times when her etrengh failed, the unquenchable spirit of love shone with undiminished lustre to the last. In the course of time both parents passed away and, throughout their illness—that of the father being long protracted—the devoted daughter

waB

the stay and comfort of the household. Her strength of character and her wonderful self-control were a source of strength to those who had learned to rely upon her for counsel and guidance. Since the death of her father, a little more than a year ago, her responsibility had increased, and with it, as must happen to those who are trying faithfully to do their duty, added strength seemed to have been given her to meet the increased obligations. Her sisters who had gone forth to do their part in the world, courageously and unquestioningly, found the home over which Anna Hall presided, a place of rest, of comfort and of order and sweetness. To her no task was so insignificant that it could be slighted. The law of her life, as a pupil, as a teacher, as a homemaker was: whatever was worth doing was worth doing well. And this law that had governed her conduct through childhood and girlhood dominated her womanhood.

Soon after her return to Crawfordsville, Anna Hall united with Center church, and she was foremost, from that tlme4 in its varied and important work. She was prominent in its societies, her clear practical mind being an aid and.reliance to those associated with her. She also taught in the Sunday school, and here her training as a teacher in the public schools made her peculiarly successful. She was one of the first and most active members of the Current Events Ciub, rarely missing its meetings and coming always prepared to take part in its discussions, and in its meetings she will be keenly missed.

When the end came it found her ready. Nothing was left undone. Her work was finis'hed and it stands an unmarred record of faithfulnes, of loving self-sacrifice, of the continual dedication of her high mental and spiritual gifts to the welfare of others

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.

Bliss Suslo AilaniH Painfully Cut Bruised on Saturday Afternoon,

Saturday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, an ugly runaway accident occurred at the iron bridge at Townsley's ford. Miss Susie Adams and her guest, Miss Turner, of Brazil, were going for a visit in the neighborhood and when they approached the hill the horse they were driving took fright and ran off. Tho animal charged headlong down the steep incline and the young ladies were thrown out at the bottom of the declivity. Miss Turner escaped with a severe jarring and shock but Miss Adams was not so fortunate. She was terribly cut and bruised about the head and shoulders, her injuries being of the moBt painful character. Dr. Gott waB hastily summoned and did all possible to relieve her pain. She is still confined to Ler bed and it will be some time before she fully recovers from her hurtB and the severe shock.

BALDWIN STILL IN IT.

Will Come East Next Year With a Formidable String.

A special from San Francisco says: "E. J. (Lucky) Baldwin is to remain on the turf and will 6hip east next season the biggest stable that ever left California. The owner of the far famed Santa Anita announced in 1808 that he would never again ship astable across the Rocky mountains. Many famous horses, including such turf celebrities aB Emperor of Norfolk, Los Angeles, Volante, Sinaloa, Lucky B., Rey del Oarredes, Ray ol Sauta Anita and Mollie McCarthy, have carried the black, red and Maltese cross to victory on almost every track of any prominence in America, lot-ido of a month no less than sixty thoroughbreds will be in training at his b'g ranch in Los Angeles county. Forty-six of these are coming two-year-olds, by such sires as Emperor of Norfolk, Amigo, Santiago San Venado, Cerrito and Honduras, "Baid win never missed a season at Saratoga in twenty-four years until last year, but ho promises to be there in 1900 with a formidable stable."

JOHN L. WILSON.

Washington's ex-Senator in In the City and Keporu Himself as Prospering.

John L. Wilson, ex-United States senator from Washington, is in the city on a visit to his mother and, barring a bad cold, is enjoying better health than he has had for years. He reports Washington state as booming. "Men who three years ago couldn't buy a ham sandwich are to-day worth half a million of dollars," said he. 'Not all of them to be sure,''but whftt I mean to say is that every man who has been equal to his opportunity there has prospered. Washington is alive and business is better than it ever was. The people are prospering and are satisfied with conditions as they are. Populism is dying out. I am concerned now in mining and am out of politics —that is, I am not after any office. I have been offered three offices since my retirement from the senate and have declined them all. If that senatorial election were to take place over again I should be re-elccted unanimously, As it was I had the satisfaction of naming the man. Mr, Aneky beat me and I beat Mr. Aneky. I found that I had more friends and better friends than I ever dreamed of having, but I can do better than making a business of politics. Our mining interests are developing wonderfully and

I have some fine property. The other day I sold some stock in a little mine at three dollars a share and I have stock in another place that is not for salo. I expect it to be bringing me $500 a month inside of a year. The Crawfordsville people on tho coast are all doing well. Fred Houstis is thriving in the hardest job to bo found In the whole range of custom house?. He has to deal with more joalousj', more contention, and more kinds of cussedness than any other custom house inspector in the country and he does it well, growing fat on the fights. Hia work is peculiarly hard as the Chinese are alwayB trying to run in, the Japs keep coming and contract labors troubles are thick. Then the rival towns have their conflicting interests, but Heustis is equal to any emergency. Will Thompson, at Seattle, is the shining light of tho Northern Pacific and is one of the highest-salaried attorneys in the west. Tho railroad people think everything of him and he flourishes."

Saw Lieut, Herron.

Lieut. Calvert, of the 18th infantry has a letter from Iloilo in the Kokomo News and speaks &a follows of a visit to Lieut. C. D. Herron: "Everything is quiet at Iloilo and things run along the same every day. I was out on the lines the other day, at Jaro. Mr. Herron is there. Ho had his first experience of being under fire the other day and he feels quite a veteran on account of it. The Remington and Mauser bullets were buzzing mighty close to him for a while. I went out to get one of the Spanish beds out there tut they were all gone. Of course you know that all these houses were vacated in a hurry and of course all the household effects were left behind. I only wish you could see some of the finest laces and large mirrors that I have seen, and curios of every description. It was all guarded or I should have been tempted to take something and send it home as a curio. Mr. Herron gave me a load of cocoanuts and mangoeB to bring back with me."

Only Two Pieces Sold.

The sale of lauds mortgaged to the school fund during Goben's regime, occurred last Saturday. The 94 acrcB in Brown township, mortgaged by Jas. R. Canine, was sold to August Priebe for the princely sum of $000. The other four pioces could not be sold aud Auditor White will receive sealed bids for them up until Aug. 5. The Chas. Bowen property, sold for taxes, was bought by Judson Staley for 8000.
