ARE EXPANSIONISTS.

Some of the Councilman Desire To Annex Several of the hubuibi hh Soon as Possible.

As the time for taking the next census draws nigh the feeling becomes general that Crawfordsville should do her be6t to obtain credit for the population she really has. It is a notorious fact that a large part of the population of Crawfordsville is nominally outside the town. What stranger, could tell where Crawfordsville leaves off and the corporations of Highland, Longview or Eaglewood begins.? Why are Fiskville, Durham and the Valley not incorporated within the limits of the city? It has been intimated to THE JOURNAL that several of the city council are in favor of extending the city limits and of taking action to this end at no distant day. It has been asserted that it will not be possible to annex the incorporated towns without their consent, but the council finds on investigation that not one of them has complied with the law in the mat ter of elections. Some have held no elections at all at the legal time and the others have ignored the Australian law. The situation is an interesting one and promises interesting developments

WINGATE'S WORK.

He Adds An Enormous Sain to the State Tax Duplicate.

Indianapolis Journal: Principally through the agitation of tax commissioner John C. Wingate, the sum of 81,610,102 thus far has been added to the tax duplicate of the state by the increase in the valuation of pipe line ccmpanles. These increases have been made by the oounty boards of review and have been made in the face of the local opposition which the companies have been able to make. The basis of valuation of pipe line companies has been on the pipe alone and not on a pipe line. It was counted as so much junk in the ground, and on the same principle railroads might be assessed as so much lumber and iron on the ground. Mr. Wingate visited many of the county boards and suggested that when the basis of valuation was fixed the earning capacity of the line should be taken into conBid eration.

While the immediate resultB have been gratifying, the movement thus started will have its greatest effect in the future. Appeals will be made to the state board and a basis will be fixed on which such companies will be assessed in the future. The state board has full authority to call and examine wItneBsess, and the basiB fixed at this session will probably be recommended to the county assessors at their next annual meeting, and the valuation on this basis will bring thousands of dollars into the state in taxes. The increase secured i: the counties this year wiU result in taxes more than sufflcieiit to pay the expenses of the session of the state board. The basis of valuation heretofore followed was used in many of the counties, so that the increases of this year do not indicite the total increase which will be cured next year under the new basis.

Gus Gets a Gun.

A Washington special says: '"Representative Charles Liodis left Washington this morning for Delphi. Mr.

terest to his constituency. Probably the most interesting matter accomplished by Rapresentative Liudis was the procurement of a brass cannon1 captured by the American forces at' Santiago. This cannon Representative Landis has had shipped to Delphi at his own expanse aod the memento of the prowess of American arms will be mounted in the public square in the chief city of Carroll county. This cannon has quite a history. It formed a pare of the famous Escapa batterr, the battery which was charged with guarding the entrance the channel leading to the city of Santiago. This gun was mounted oa the Eicapa at the time that assistant naval constructor Hobson made his daring exploit, and it may ba that some effective shots were fired against the Merrimac by this particular cannon, tlfen manned by Spanish gunners, but now owned by the genial member of congress renresenting the ninth district. This cannon is of the brass variety and is known as a six-pounder and properly handled in an emergency would prove a very effective weapon. Its subsequent use will very likely be applied chiefly to firing Fourth of July salutes." .....

COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS.

ISxemptlon Teachers Must Take the August Kxamination—The Coming Institute.

The last legislature passed a law placing the subject of literature on the list of common school subjects. This will necessitate the appearance at the August teachers' examination of all the teachers in the county who hold exemption licenses They will not have to take the entire examination but merely the examination on literature. Superintendent Walkup has been instructed to this effect by thf* state superintendent.

The teachers' institute this summer will bo held from August 14th to 19th inclusive The instructors will be Prof. S. Davis, of the State University Ljdia Blaich, of Indianapolis, who will have the primary work, and Mi6S Carrie B. Adams, ofJTorre Haute, who will conduct the music.

Landis has been in the capital city for entitled to a transfer, the pupil is the several days on various matters of in- chooser.of which school he Bhall at-

The teachers' examination Saturday was taken by sixty-five aspirants. It was a very hard one and several of the applicants threw up the sponge at noon.

iw Honor to Simon Yandex.

Terre Haute Express: All honor to Simon Yandes, the grand old Presbyterian of Indianapolis, for his liberal and progressive spirit and his practical, sensible views. He is a member of the board of trustees of Wabash College and one of the generous benefactors of that institution. At the meeting of the board this week he advocated receiving ladies as studentB on the eame footing as gentlemen—so that Wabash might reap the advantage that springs from co-education and extend its beneficent influences in the world He was outvoted, but his position is none the less creditable to himself as a progressive citizen, a man who estimates correctly the beBt public sentiment and is in sympathy with the spftit of the times. Mr. Yandes believes in the young, and wants to help them. He is the genu'ne, sincere friend of youog women and wants to enlarge their opportunities. He is not a young man, as we are accustomed to measure time, but he has managed to keep in touch with the living forceb and sentiments rather than with the dead body of ecclesiastical conservatism, and hence, although a bachelor, age eighty-five, he votes and works to give the girls a chance.

A to a

the transfer of high school pupils from the township schools to the city schools, and to nettle the question a supsrintendent recently wrote to the attorney general and asked thefollow-

to refuse transfers to high school students and force the corporation to take such students by paying the sum of 810 as to the tuition for the entire year?" The reply is as follows: "The trustee can not do this. He first has thn right to offer the corporation the sum of $10 per year for the education of high school children, but if such corporation should refuse to accept such pupils at the rate of $10 per year, then the pupil may demand a transfer, which carries with it the obligation to pay the monthly tuition rate. Any trustee who doea not maintain a high school course, can be forced to transfer or pay the tuition. If a pupil be

tend and not the trustee. There is absolutely no way that the trustee may evade the obligation to provide either at home or elsewhere, for the education of children, who are entitled to high school privileges."

Cordelia Coleman Agaiu.

Thorntown Argus: Mose Brown, armed with a warrant, went over io Lebanon last Saturday night and returned with Rufus Clark, whom be arrested on the charge of intoxication, Clark ia the late husband of Cordelia, an ex-wife of the late Bent Coleman, and the arrest was at her instigation. It seem6 the honeymoon bliss become dreggy, in fact nauseating to Clark, and he tried to kill off the bacillus with whisky. This affected his breath and brain until Cordelia protested. Clark rendered a voluntary expressive of hi6 dislike for her and packed up his duds and went to Lebanon where real chivalry isiappreciated by society. Cordelia then to get even caused his arrest on a chargeiof drunk.

A BLUSHING BRIDE.

She Mistakes a Court. Summons for an Order to Appear at the Altar of Uncle Hymen.

Fred Humphreys, of Waynetown, and Mary E. Ross, of Wingate, were very neatly and tightly married last Thursday at the office of Justice Stilwell. It seems that the young people were engaged but that no particular time had been set for the consummation of the nuptials. Thursday morning, however, it so happened that Constable Hernley had to issue a summons to the bride-elect for her to appear Saturday in 'Squire Stilwell's court. The case was one in which her brother-in-law was concerned and she was wanted as a witness. It appears, though, that she misunderstood the nature of the summons and supposed that her lover was legally notifying her to appear at the 'squire's office to be married. She supposed a legal form of this kind was probably necessary. Anyhow, she was dead against a Saturday marriage and at once noti fled Mr. Humphreys that she wanted to be married Thursday afternoon.

The township trustees and school patrons have been considerably bothered recently abtfut the new law as to ner, and after the Eervice a sumptuous

ing question: "Has a trustee the right rill, Mrs. Alice Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Marks, MisB Mabel Brown, John Douglas and wife, John Ellington and wife, and Sam Irwin, of this city Mrs.

He was a little puzzled, but came rejoicing and the ritee were solemnized. After it was all over the bride discovered her mistake and although somewhat bored, was none the less pleased to think that the marriage was through with. She appeared as a witness in the case Saturday just the same, the summons holding good even on a bride.

WOOL SALE

You lit, Kussell, & Martin Sell 125,000 Pounds of This Year's Clip.

Oa Saturday, Yount, Russell, Martin sold the wool they purchased this spring to M. Magryenthal, of Cincinnati, at a handsome advance on the purchasing price. Magryenthal takes the whole lot and the wool is now being packed for shipment. There is 125,000 pounds of the stuff and moat of it was raised right here in Montgomery county. The wool is all of it of this year's clip, Yount & Russell having sold laBt spring what they purchased last season.

White-Crose.

Last Thursday at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Alice CroBe, of Gil east College street, occurred the marriage of Miss Cecil Crose to Mr. R. L. White, of Indianapolis The ceremony was performed by Dr. Tharp in his most happy man-

weddlng supper was served. The popular young couple were made the recipients of many handsome presents. Those present were: Wm. Grimes, Lena Mack, Anna Jackrzian, Cal Sher-

Kate Ellington, of Bainbridge Mrs. J. B. Wilcox, of Lebanon Mr. and Mrs. James Crose, Ewell Hunt, MisseB Clara and Nell Fleece, Arthur Waters, Miss Lydia D&vis, Ben Davis, Miss Ella Ellington, of North Salem I. White and family, Miss Mabel White and Mr. Hitnos, of New Market.

Committee on President.

The committee of the Wabash College trustees on the matter of a new president is composed of A. D. Thomas, O. M. Gregg and M. L. Hains. The committee has as yet no one in mind but it has received a number of "applications Several of the applicants have sent their photographs evidently being posseBEed of the idea that this would "cinch the job." One modest man, too modest to sing his own praises, had his wife write his application and enumerate his virtues.

Successful Gold Hunters.

There is a peculiar condition now existing among the dentists of this city. One of the leading dentists went to fill the tooth of a patient last Saturing with gold and was surprised to find that the boxes which usually contained the gold were empty. Thinking he had neglected to lay in a Bupply he telephoned another dentist, who found that he, too, waa out of the precious article. Further telephoning revealed the truth that some sneak* thief had visited all the dentist offices in town and stolen all of the gold. Another dentiBt saya this is not the first time this has been done, and a close watch will be kept for the unwelcome intruder.
