ORAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,

JIM ELMORE'S TOOK.

Be Has Let His Contract and Its Appearance Will Soon Dazzle the Reading Public

Jim Elmore, the now famous poet of Ripley township, returned last Friday from Indianapolis where he let the contract for the publication of his book of poemB and his novel, to the Sentinel printing' company. He will have a thousand of the books run off just to start the ball rolling and will order more as Boon as the first edition is exhausted. "Governor Mount ordered one of the books without being asked to," remarked Mr. Elmore upon his return. "I was in his office this morning and you bet I made a big hit there. I recited some of my verses and had the whole house standing around in short order. A newspaper fellow was there and took some of it down in short hand and all of them Baid the poetry wa$ all of it bully. They all said the title of my story, "Love Among the Mistletoe," was bully, too, and you bet it is. My new version of "Mary'a Little Lamb" hit 'em hard. You see out on my farm we have a sheep that sucks a jersey cow and I wrote this about it: "The road where Mary went to school Is now

McAdamed pike

The boys and girls all break the rules by rid lng ou a bike. The lamb that fed from Mary's hand no longer does so now Since Mary struck a new devise It sucks a jersey cow."

I also gave them a few verses of "Ohildish Glee" and "HobBon's Victory" and they all cheered.* They asked me so blamed many questions that I didn't get to ask them any, but anybody could see that they were all stuck on the poems.",

A FINE FARM SOLD'

The George W. Hutton Place Is Sold at the Goort Honse Last Saturday at Commissioner's Sale.

Henry M. Perry, the commissioner appointed by the circuit court to sell the George W. Hutton farm as the result of a partition 6uit, offered the same for sale last Saturday at the south door of the court house. The farm is appraised as being worth over $10,000 and lies six miles north of the city, being1 one of the finest places in the county and contains 195 acres. The sale attracted a large number of bidders and was started off at 40 per acre and went up by easy stages to 846.50. At this point the only bidders were Rank Walkup and Foster Fletcher and the bids began to get smaller, advancing by bids of five cents on the acre.

At 3:15 the farm was knocked off to Foster Fletcher at $47 50 an acre, or about $9,265 for the farm. A gentle* man present immediately offered the successful bidder 84 an acre rent Jor the farm.

Jab at Jim.

Indianapolis News: J. B. Elmore, "the Poet of Alamo," called on Governor Mount this forenoon. The poet lives in Alamo, near Crawfordsville, where he has a local reputation. He is acquainted with the chief executive, and came to-day "to pay his respects" to him, and, incidentally, to recite some of his poems, which will appear soon in a bound volume of Montgomery county pastorals.

In his rounds about Montgomery county, Mr. Elmore has had to write many of his poems, he says, to please patrons, to whom he has sold books. He went down to a sawmill one day, he said, and obtained orders for six copies of his forthcoming book, on .the condition that he should write a poem on "The Sawmill." This he has done, and to-day he gave the following as a "sample" of the poem, which consists of numerous stanzis:

Toot, toot, toot, the hour has come When sawmill labor.has begun. Roll on the log and dog her down, And turn the adjusting lever around Turn on the steam and let lier go The dust is flying like tho snow.

It Soared Them.

During the storm Friday the wind blew the smoke stack off the M. J. Lee tile mill and it fell with auch force on the roof that the hands were almost scared out of their senses. Jim Coulter and Harmon Churchill were feeding the mill when the accident occurred and they were put to flight, running through corn fields and woods without hats or coats, never looking back till they werp stopped up about Linden by the horse thief detectives, who thought they were wild men that had brokon loose from some big circus.

CHICKAMAUGA FIELD.

The Indiana Monuments and Markers to Be Dedicated Sept. 10

Gen- James R. Carnahan, secretary of the Indiana Chickamauga commission, says the work of putting up monuments and markers for the Indiana regiments and batteries on Chickamauga battlefields is now complete. Each part of the battlefield that was occupied by an Indiana organization— cavalry, infantry or artillery—in the civil war is now plainly marked. The commission has placed forty-two monuments and seventy-six markers showing the positions of Indiana organizations in the battle of Chickamauga. "We have never hadr- a formal dedication of these monuments to the national government," said the secretary of the commission, "as we have been waiting for an appropriate time.' We did not want to make this dedication or turn over these monuments until the monument of the Wilder brigade was completed. While this monument is not a state monument, yet two of the four regiments belonging to that famous brigade were Indiana troops, the 17th and 72d regiments, as was also the 18th battery, known as Lilly's Battery. We felt that it was due to the state that the dedication ot the Wilder Brigade monument and the several Indiana monuments should take place at the same time. Now the Wilder Brigade monument is completed and the survivors of that brigade have fixed upon the anniversary of the battle of Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, for the dedication. Our commission has joined with them in the days chosen to dedicate all the Indiana monuments and niarkers to the general government."

Governor Mount will deliver an address at the dedication. The secretary of war will be present, if possible. If not, he will be represented by the assistant secretary. Gen. H. V. Boynton, secretary of the national Chickamauga commission, and other members of that commission will be present.

The secretary of the Indiana Chickamauga commission has been sending out notices to representatives of the various Indiana organizations that took part in the battle, :inviting them to be present, and many response have been received, stating that their regiments will be represented at the dedication. A round-trip rate of 89 S6 ha6 been secured from Indianapolis to Chickamauga, good to leave qn September 18 or 19, and to return at any time up to and including September 25.

Jndge D. B. McConnell, of Logans port, president of the Indiana commission, will be present at the dedication.

Tbe commission is preparing a report of its work, which will be accompanied by photographs of the monument and markers, The appropriation by the state for the erection of these memoriala was 840,000, to include all expenses. A little proviso was put in, that any money left after erecting the monuments should be used to put in as many markers as possible.

The commission will report that the 840,000 haB been carefully used during the past six years. The necessary monuments have been erected and a sufficient amber of markers, with money enough remaining to print the transactions of the commission. All the monuments and all the markers are of Indiana oolitic limestone. The monumeuts are the largest on the field, and the pure white of the Indiana oolitic limestone makes the monuments and markers the most conspicuous on the field. The markers are 3 feet square, 4 feet 8 inches high and weigh 7,000 pounds each.

A MORNING MARRIAGE.

A Danville Couple Wedded Long Before Sun-Up Sunday Morning.

Saturday evening a very pretty young Jady appeared at the court house and stated that she wished to take out a marriage license. She explained by stating that the groom, who might reasonably be supposed to look after this interesting document, was out of town and couldn't possibly gst here until the eastbound Big Four night train. She said that Bhe lived in Danville, 111, and that the groomelect lived there also, and that whUe no one objected to their marriage that they wished to wed away from home. The license was granted and the little lady planked down her two dollars with the nonchalance of a housewife buying a cabbage. Then she went to a hotel and put up until train time. When the train came in the groom was on it and the lady flopped into his arms for a long, gurgling kiss. Then they entered a cab and the horseB were loped gaily off to tbe home of 'Squire Stilwell, who, slioping on his bicycle pants, one shoe and his wife's shirt waist, came down and tied the knot, sealing it with the benediction of a yawn that started all the dogs in tbe neighborhood to barking. After the ceremony the happy coupler repaired to the hotel where they remained until the excursion train started for Danville, they returning on this. The license was issued to George S. McRoales and Maggie Par* ish.

You Never Know the Moment When This Information May Prove of Infinite Value.

It is worth considerable to iny citizen of Crawfordsville to know the value and use of a medicine, for if there is no occasion to employ it, In the meantime, frail humanity is subjected to so many influences and unforeseen contingencies that the wisest are totally unable to guage the future. Know then, that Doan's Ointment will cure any case of hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, or any disease of the cuticle of the 6kin, generally termed eczema. This is proven by testimony appearing in Crawfordsville newspapers.

Mr. J. W. Davis, of 908 east College street, carpenter at the Big Four shops, says: "I had itching hemorrhoids for a number of years before I found what I believe to be the best remedy for that affliction there is. I suffered from the worst form of the disease and it had become so bad that I could not sleep only about half the night. The irritation and itching was so intense that it almost drove me wild. I first tried one remedy and then another without success. I happened to learn of Doan's Ointment and got a box at Moffett & Morgan's drug store. I had not used the whole box before I emust say to my surprise I found myself completely cured."

Doan's Ointment is for sale by all dealers price 50 cents a box. Mailed on receipt of price by FosterMilbnrn Oo., Buffalo, N. Y.t solo atrents for the United States.

Remember the name—Doan'ffj—anc take no other. ji

ALLEN A CANDIDATE.

The "Gold Bug Imperialist" Vaati tt Democratic Nominatlom for Congress.

Indianapolis News: D. F. Allen, Frankfort, unless he goes to the Ph ippines for too long a stay, will bt»candidate for the nomination to congress in the ninth district. Captain Allen, when asked about the matter at different times, has shyly aaid that he would not make an active campaign to secure the nomination, and has intimated that he would hardly accept &- nomination. But things have ohanged Binqe he saici all this. Recently a ber of Democrats from Tipton county went to see him, and to them he aaid that he would not only accept the nomination, but if the Democrats of the district would assist him, he wonld go ont after it. As a sequence of that meeting, Allen's friends are at work and hope to get him the nomination without much trouble.

Mr. was a member of tha state board of tax commissioners under Governor Matthews, and has been in* terested in state politics more or leca for a number of yeara.

He commanded a company in tha war with Spain, and has been recommended by the governor for a commission in the Philippine army. In 1896 he did not take kindly to Bryan and free silver. His friends say that as Frank B. Burke, A. G. 8mlth, John W. Kern, Thomas Taggart and a few others have returned to the free silver fold, they see no reason why Mr. Allen cannot get in out of the wet. Before "Joe" Cheadle was nominated th$ iast time an effort was made to bare Mr. Allen become a candidate, but Cheadle bad everything so tbat there was no chance for anyone else, and Mr. Allen refused to fit&ke a fight for the place. "Joe" Cheadle, about whom there is continual talk to the effect that he will be a candidate for the nomination again, is out of the race. At a meeting held at Kempton a few dayB ago Mr. Cheadle told some of his friends who importuned him on the subject, that he would not make the race again. He said that he had taken two empty nominations and had been slaughtered both times, and he thought he had had enough. Fountain county will have a candidate in the person of H. C. Yount, but the party workers say that Allen will probably distance all competitors.
