REGARDING INSURANCE.

Rumor Has It That the Gas Belt Will Experience an Increase.

An exchange says that insurance agents in the gas belt are preparing for the movement to raise rates. Last winter while BO many fires were taking place all over the belt because of the Irregular pressure of gaB, due to the absence of regulators, the state board of underwriters took up the matter of raising

ures were great because of the irregular pressure. After some discussion it waB decided to allow the question to rest during the summer, it being believed that no special danger existed at this time of the year. The average rate in Indiana for detached dwelling property is 81 on the hundred tor three years. Towns without fire protection and placeB in the gas belt built by land companies which neglected to put regulators in their gas mains, enjoy this rate along with well protected cities. It is understood that rates will be proportioned before cold weather sets in.

B. R. Russell, the local secretary of the State Underwriters' Association, says he has heard nothing of the contemplated raise and does not believQ that it will be effective in Crawfordsville.

An Awful Liar.

Noblesviile Ledger: Sam Keiser, of this city, who represents an IndianapOIIB baking powder house, visited every town in both Boone and Montgomery counties during the past week. He says he induced the people to invest in a few cans of the article he had for sale, but it was no easy task, owing to the fact that they Beem to be absorded in the approaching congressional race, and apparently care to discusB but little else. Farmers, as well as business men, are interested in the matter, and the consensus of opinion is to the effect that if Hamilton county can agree upon one candidate and go to the con•ention next spring with a solid dele gation, they will give their influence arid votes to nominate him. They argue that the plum rightly belongs to Hamilton county, and if we can settle matters amicably among ourselves they are willing to lend us a helping hand.

A Pleasant Surprise.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rogers near Brown's Valley, was a scene of enjoyment and pleasure on last Tuesday evening, Aug. 8, 1899, in honor of their son, Olayton, it being his 17th birthday. His parents planned a surprise by inviting and entertaining his young frinds of the neighborhood to the number of ninety. Those present from a distance were Celia Taylor, of Quion, and two cousins, Miss Burdette Wingate, of Albany, and Bert Hole, of Garfield. The crowd after having expressed their appreciation of the event, which would long be remembered by all, departed for their homes wishing Olayton manv such happy birthdays in the future

THOUGHTS AT THE GRAVE OF A FRIEND-J C. M-

Dear friend, above thy couch of rest An emerald robe is spread, And nature's tear-drops gently fall 4 Upon thy lowly bed.

Here starry daisies nod and bend, In affluent glow and bloom. And here In spring the white rose swings

Her censor of perfume. Thy Hps are dumb—a seal Is pressed Where smiles were wont to start weight is on thy pulseless breast

And Ice around thy heart. Thou dost not hear the soft footfall" Of loving friends who come, With floral tributes, green and fair,

To deck thy narrow home.

No earthly strife, no care, no pain Can e'er disturb thee here Thp tenants of this peaceful spot

Reed not our mortal tear. We walk a weary, thorn-clad way Where arrows pierce each breast „£sh?ul1

TOOK EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

Thieves Make Away With Bleven Tom of Ice, a Brick Chimney and a Fnmp Oat of the Cistern.

Sam Hipes, who resides up near Mace, was the maddeBt man in Montgomery county the other morning when he went out to his ice house to get some of the

Btuff

that is cooling to

the blood and red lemonade. He had about eleven tons of nice ice which he put up there last winter when the mercury in the thermometer registered down around

the

bottom of the

tube and he was contemplating with a great deal of satisfaction the cool and refreshing drinks he would make and the gallons of ice cream with which he would regail his neighbors when the mercury was hovering around the other end of the thermometer, but alas, and alack, when he opened the doors of his receptacle for the precious treasure wrested from the jaws of winter, there rc-as not enough ice in the place to make a damp spot on a board in the sun. Eleven tons of ten inch crystalline ice had completely disappeared. In addition to the ice the thieves had stolen a brick chimney that ran up on the outside of the house, and taken a pump out of the cistern adjacent to the place. Mr. HipeB ic now wondering why they didn't take the ice house.

General Wallace'* Health.

Indianapolis Journal: John 0. Wingate yesterday received a letter from General Lew Wallace, who is now recuperating at Quaker Hill, near Pawling, N. Y. At the time General Wallace left here it

waB

thought that his

health was such that he would never recover and when he proposed to go abroad his physicians said he would never return alive. In referring to his present state of health Gen. Wallace Bays: "When I came here, having failed to get a guaranty of return from England, I was really a sick man. Now I am almost aB sound as ever. It is mountain air that has done the business and worked what I expected of the sea."

Death of a Noted Character.

Sunday night at the poor farm Geo. Carson paid the penalty of the human race and breathed hia last. Mr. Carson was seventy years old and had been an inmate of the county asylum for about eight years. He used to be a familiar character about the streets of the city and went by the nickname of "Sassafras" George. He was an indefatigable purveyor of sassafras and waa always on hand in the season with bunches of the fragrant root which he claimed *was nature's remedy for all diseases of the blood. He was buried Monday evening at the farm.

For Court House Repairs.

The county commissioners on 8itur day added to their estimate the sum of S25.000 for repairs on the court house. This sum, if approved by the county council, will be devoted to the repairs previously mentioned in these columns, the putting in of a fire proof roof and new tile floors. It is likely that the council will approve the estimate as several of the members have expressed themselves as favorable to the proposed improvement

Death of Robert Krug.

MILL.

It Is Fought In Montgomery County After the Principals Are Driven Oat of Fountain,

There was a bloody prize dght down in Wayne township early Tuesday morning, but there were not half a dozen sportB in this city who knew anything about it until too late to attend. The principals were Ellsworth Snyder, of Covington, and a fellow from Fountain county by the name of Hendrickson, and the purse was 8100. The ropes were first put up near the coal chuteB in Fountain county, but the sheriff of Fountain, who appeared to be next to the fight, came along at the proper time and drove the fighterB over into Montgomery couuty and, it is alleged, was an interested spectator of the subsequent proceedings. The crowd and the principals made a ring in one of Carlton Moore's school yardB just over the line and then proceeded to business. Four hundred persons witnessed the mill and saw Snyder chew his opponent's ears off and punch his physiognomy into a mass closely resembling a platter of pork sausage. Hendrickson only lasted three rounds and was completely used up when time was called and the money given to Snyder. Snyder has had several mills but Hendrickson is a novice at the business and stood no earthly show for his dough. The good people of that part of the county and the adjoining bailiwicks turned out en masse, but now no one can be found who attended the melee. The police and the sheriff could easily have been summoned through the medium of the telephone, but the spectators who paid each a dollar to aee the exhibition, evi* dently didn't want the thing stopped.

The meetings are always largely attended and are greatly enioyed. The programme this year is an excellent one and a cor dial invitation is extended to the pub lie to come out and hear the addresses and muBlc.

Death of a Orawfordsvllle Favorite.

A special from Farmington, Minn says: Lillian Lewis, an actress of national reputation, died here of con sumption. Lillian Lewis for the past fifteen years had been playing in repertoire, with a big production of "Cleopatra" as her star card, for the past five years. In the aouth and west she was a great favorite. For the past year her health had been falling. She was the wife of Laurence Marsdon, the author and actor, and had appeared at Music Hall a number of times. She was a great favorite with theater goers of this city and had many friends here.

To the Public.

There was a card a few daya ago in the paper, stating that on and after Sept. 1st the shoe men would sell goods for cash only.

Pictures of Roads Wanted By Qavcnn Mount for Paris Kxposltloa.

Governor Mount haB received from M. O. Eldrldge, acting director of the United States department of agriculture, a letter stating that that department desires to secure a comprehensive assortment of photographs showing the good and average roads in the United States, and expressing a desire particularly for photographs of Indiana roads.

Governor Mount has expressed ill earnest desire to have Indiana proper-* ly represented in this exhibit, believing it will be to the best interests of the state, and he has requested that persons interested in the project will forward to him such pictures described, unmounted, together with a statement of location.

In concluding hiB letter to Governor Mount, director Eldrldge says: "Although the science and development of road-building in this country Is in its infancy, as compared with some of the older European countries, it behooves us to make the best showing possible in this exhibit. Yoar cooperation and assistance will, therefore, be most heartily appreciated."
