N. Williams Writes Interestingly ot a Step Which Crawfordsville Should Take for Her Owu Good,

To the Editor The Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. L, 1899.—Dear

Sir:—I noticed in your Saturday's issue an article in favor of extending the city limits of Crawfordsville. This is Burely 3 step in the right direction. The city limits of Crawfordsville have not been extended in the past twenty thirty years and when the census of Crawfordsville is taken it can only include those people living within a certain territory, which lines do col represent all of Crawfordsville. Ten years ago when the cenEus of Crawfordsville was taken I was chairman of the Republican central committee and to a large extent had charge of this wprk. At that time it was the general feeling of everyone that Crawfordsville had at least 10,000 population. As Boon as the four enumerators had finished their work in the city of Crawfordsville I called for their papers, aud upon examination found that the poplation within the city limits of Crawfordsville proper was only 0,053. I folt confident that many people would question the work if it were known what the figures were, so I began a system of advertising through the Crawfordsville papers asking for the names of any persons that thought they had been missed by the enumerators, and after receiving their names I examined the list and found that they were duly and properly enumerated. There were only one or two names reported that were not upon the list and it was a great question whether these people should be enumerated in Crawfordsville or not. Nevertheless I had them put on the list for good measure.

In my extensive traveling over the state from town to town, which has been continuous work for the past fifteen years, I find that the city limits of all the county seat towns extend far into the farming country about them. There is no city in Indiana whose city limits are 60 hampered as they are in Crawfordsville. We have a large population beyond the city limits of Crawfordsville which enjoys all the privileges of the city and they should be counted as a part of Crawfordsville, but unless the city council extend our limits they can not be so counted in the government report and if the city limits are not extended I do not think that the increase in the population within the last ten years will be over four or five hundred people, making our census population about 0,500

We are all proud of Crawfordsville, which, in my opinion, is the prettiest city in Indiana, of its size, and we ought to be entitled to full credit for our population. I, therefore, think that the city limits of Crawfordsville should be extended so as to include all of sections five and six and all of section thirty-one and section thirty-two, all of the northwest quarter of section four and all of the southwest quarter of section thirty-three. This will include all that territory which should properly be a part of the city of Crawfordsville and will not be compared with the city limits of many of the gas towns which cover nearly all of the township in which they are located.

Your article states that the city council is in fnvor of ti.ia extension and I think they are taking the right view of it and I think it should be acted upon at once, the change made and the same reported to the government, because the government has complete charts of all the old district as it was enumerated. I think this is a matter that everv good citizen of Crawfordsville should be interested in, especially those livintr within the old limits of the city. Very truly yours.

LIKES A HUSTLER.

The Indianapolis Journal Gives Some Advice to the Wabash College Trustees.

Indianapolis Journal: It seems that the trustees of Wabash college, upon whom devolves the duty of selecting a new president for that institution, are greatly surprised over the fact that numerous candidates are making direct personal application for the position. The Journal is not familiar with the custom or the ethics in such matters, but infers from the surprise expressed that the unwritten law hitherto in force requires that a candidate shall make no open move in the direction of hie desires, but shall leave such overtures to his friends. It is admissable, doubtless, for him to Btand behind the scanes and manipulate the wires, but, according to conventional rules heretofore observed, his own hand mnst not be visible. He must merely aEsuine a receptive attitude and wait to be "called." This is the dignified position taken by those who seek the highest offices in politics, the most important pulpit appointments, and, in fact, all the great prizes in civil and military lifa which depend upon the favor of other people, and presumably Includes college presidents. If it is a minor ollioe the would-be incumbent may "hustle" for it openly and with all the energy at his command. The higher the ojjice the greater must be the appearance of indifferance and of lofty dignity. The fact that a number of gentlemen think they could fill the president's chair of WabaBh college acceptably, each expressing a willingness and even an anxiety to do so, shows how customs are changing and the practical methods of business are being adopted, even by members of the most conservative professions. And why should such change not take place and a new system prevail? The assumed'indiiference to such appointments is the most transparent of veils and deceives no one. Each man knows his own qualifications, and why not freely and frankly 6et them forth and make the best of them as he would of any other capital in his possession? Friends are useful and kind, but every business man knows that his affairs are more satisfactorily attended to when he looks after them himself than when he intrusts them to a neighbor. The training and accomplishments that go to make a college president are the possessor's stock in trade. If he have sufficient enterprise and ability to convince others that he sets a proper value on them it eeems to the Journal that he demonstrates his possession of at least one qualification needed in the office he seeks—namely, the power to "huBtle."

For, as everybody knows, the duties cf the modern college president are by no means confined to literary pursuits, but have to do largely with practical business questions. At all events, whatever custom may have been in the past, it is not quite just to charge a man with a lack of dignity simply because he enters without concealment into competition for an honorable prize

A Goodly Showing.

The first year of rural free delivery in Montgomery county ended Tuesday. All the routes are doing excellently and are demonstrating more and more every day the practicability and the wisdom of the system. All have shown a steady growth since their inauguration and the two routes that wt re established August 1, 1898, are now on a paying basis, each being worth 840 net per month to' the government. The routes established later show a growth that is at least commensurate. The first two routes may be taken as showing the possibilities of the system where conditions are favorable, as they are in Montgomery county. The first month each carrier delivered less than 1,800 pieces of mail whereas now they each deliver over 5,000 pieces monthly. For the first three months the daily collections of a carrier would be from eight to ten letters a day, while now he will collect from fifty to sixty letters, papers and packages. When rural delivery was inaugurated not a daily papar was taken on either route for the simple reason that the farmers could not get them. Now each carrier delivers from sixty to eighty dailies to people along his route Farmers living along rural routes declare that the service renders their farms more valuable by two dollars per acre than farms not so liappi ly located.

AMICUS.

SUES HUSBAND AND HIS FATHER

Wealthy Mrs. McJimsey Charges Fraud in the Handling of ller Money.

The following) dispatch from Maryville, Mo is peculiarly interesting here, the McJimseys being Montgomery county people, going to Missouri from near Wingate some years ago: "Mrs. Ella McJimsey has instituted proceedings in the Nodaway county circuit court against her husband, Elmer E E McJimsey, and his father, Joseph McJimsey. The younger McJimsey editor of the Maryville Tribune, a member of the state Republican committee from the 4th congressional district aud cansus supervisor of the 4th district. Mrs. McJimsey had a large amount of property when she was married, and in her petition filed in court she alleges that her husband hae bought a residence and park partly with money raised by mortgaging her land, and caused the title to be fraudulently vested^in hie father's name "McJimsey park is the best-known pleasure ground in northern Missouri, and the McJimsey home, where father and son aud their families live, is the finest in Nodaway county, the house having been built and the ground laid out by ex-Auditor of State Alonzo Thompson, at a cost of 840,000." TO IMPROVETHE COURT HOUSE

The County Commissioners Propose to l*ut In it New Roof and New Floors.

The county commissioners propose to include in their estimate of expenses for next year a sum sufficient to put a new roof over the court house and new floors in. It has been known for a long time that the roof of the court house is a veritable fire trap, there being six or eight car loads of dry lumber in its construction. A match dropped carelessly in the great garret would start a blaze there that could not be handled, and the court house would bo destroyed with all its records). The csmmissioners propose to tear out all that lumber and substitute steel, thus rendering the court house almost fire proof. The present floors are about worn out and it is thought that tile floors will be substituted. Anyhow the commissioners will include these changes in their estimate and the new county council can act on them. The work needs to be done and it is likely that the council will sustain the recommendation.

Crops in Good Condition,

The weekly crop bulletin for Indiana, issued Tuesday, notes that during the week warm weather prevailed with beneficial rains in most localities. In some fields no rain fell, and growing cropB suffered. Corn grew well. It is earing out and promises a large yield. Tobacco on good ground, where well cultivated, is growing well. On poor ground it is not promising. Seed clover is in excellent condition, promising good yields. Early potatoes are being dug. Late potatoes are growing well. The tomato crop will be large. Cabbage and other vegetables grew well. Pears, plums, grapes aud berries are abundant. Apples are still dropping off in some orchards, but in general they are abundant on the trees. Threshing continues. In some counties wheat is all threshed, and the yield is better than expected. In most fields the oat yield ia good. Ilaying is ended and good crops have been secured in very good condition. Plowing for wheat progresses nearly everywhere.

To IMalnfield.

Last Wednesday Marshal lirothera took Fred Birchfield to the reform school at Plainfield. The young thug was not only connected with the robbery of Hunt's hardwaro store, but with a dozen or BO other offenses of a like character.

SAVED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

[LETTER TO MKS. I'INKHAM NO. 72,896] "You have saved my life, snatched me from the brink of the grave almost, and I wish to thank you. About eighteen'months ago I was a total wreck, physically. I had been troubled with lcucorrhccafor some time, but li ad given hardly any attention to the trouble. "At last inflammation of tlic womb and ovaries resulted and then I suffered agonies, had to give up my profession (musician and piano player), was confined to my bed and life became terrible cross. My husband summoned the best physicians, but their benefit was but temporary at best. I believe I should have contracted the morphine habit under their care, if my common sense had not intervened.

One day my husband noticed-the advertisement of your remedies and immediately bought me a full trial. Soon the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am now well, strong and robust, walk, ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her teens. I would not be without Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound it is like water of life to me. I am very gratefully and sincerely your wellwisher, and I heartily recommend your remedies. I hope some poor creature may be helped to health by reading my' story."—Miss. Cor.. E. P.

The estimates will be added, assessed values footed up, exemptions deducted and the county council will then caBt its critical eye over the whole and then approve or disapprove the levy suggested as necessary to pay the county's ranning expenses.
