WORRYING THEM.

Lack of Equipment and Motive Power Worrying Railroads.

Railroad operating departments all over the country are more, worried about equipment and motive power with which to haDdle the increased traffic that will certainly begin moving by October 1st than probably tLey have ever seen before, and none of the general offices of transportation lines see much in the prospect to give them cheer. Many solutions of the problem have been suggested and the one of which the offcialB think tbe most is the general exchange of cars, though such a scheme will be approached by all of them with caution. In this scheme trouble has been found in the

thiB

paBt

and

when the railroads have no surplus cars they dislike very much to see any of their rolling stock go beyond junction points on their own lines. The reason for

is that in the past many

of the weaker lines have put cars thus turned over to them in their local services and prolonged delays in their return have been experienced.

WANTS A DIVORCE- V.

Mrs. Mabel Newton Little Sues Her Recreant Husband for a Separation.

Mrs. Mabel Newton Little, daughter of the late Horace Newton, has filed suit in the circuit court for a divorce from her husband, Thomas F. Little The complaint, which was filed by her attorney, Tom Stilwell, sets up that Mr. and Mrs. Little were married in June, 1S07, and have been separated nearly that period of time. The defendant proved a matrimonial fizzle and in all.his duties fell lamentably short of what he should have been He failed to provide and frequently swore at the plaintiff in a most violent and abusive manner causing her much mental pain and suffering. She alBo charges that he sustained criminal relations with other women. Little is not now a resident of the state and it is not likely that he will appear to make a defense.

UP IN THE AIR.

The Price of Coal Is Climbing Toward tbe Cloud* and Haa No Weights

On Ita Heels.

A good many Crawfordsville people contemplate using coal and wood

thiB

winter and from present prospects there will be more wood used than coal for the price of the latter is soaring starward. The mine operators have raised the price twice aince spring and there are all indications for more raisee before the fly of snow. The middlemen haven't been backward about "bumping the price up either so the gas forsaken consumer is in a bad row of stumps. Anthracite

is

now

Belling here for 96.50 and the block eoal is right on its heels. More cheering news comes from tbe region round about, however. Hundreds of farmers spent a good deal of time this summer in wood cutting and there is said to be an adequate supply on hand. The price will not be so stiff as it waB last winter and our earneBt prayers are that the "cords" will be larger. With good wcoi and hot air stoves we can defy the winter's flaw, the natural gas failure, and the coal truat's frenzy,

At Hthtrrjr'i.

The old settlers' meeting at Mehar ry's grove last week was a great

BUC

cess and the 3,000 people in attendance enjoyed the day immensely. The ad dresses were excellent and tho New Richmond band furnished good music Several prizeB were awarded. The one to the oldest couple attending the meeting was given to Mr. and Mrs Harmon Hiatt, of Crawfordsville, who were born in January, 1819. Tbe prizes to the eldest individuals at the meeting were awarded to Mrs. Harriet McClure, ofWingate, aged 83, and James Graves, of Waynetown, aged 85. The prize offered for the best speech by an. old settler was awarded to D. B. Rhodes, of Attica. -Heretofore the annual meeting has been held on the laBt Thurday in August. It was decided yesterday to change the date and hereafter to-hold the meeting on the third Thursday in August.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUSTAINED.

Life Thinks That Mr, Kipling's Literature is Hardly Adapted to the Yonng,

Last week's istueof .Life contains the following editorial which is of peculiar interest here: "We must not take it too hard that the First Methodist church of Crawfordsville, Ind.,

haB

thrown out one of

Kipling's stories from its Sunday school library. It was 'The Drums of the Fore and Aft' that had to go. Think how vastly Sunday school libraries must have improved, that such a book could have strayed into one! It is a delightful story, but, after all, of doubtfuL value in a Sunday school library. "No Sunday school can be justly criticised for blinking a little at Kipling. He iB not successful aB a Sunday school writer. The business of Sunday schools is to teac.h children right from wrong. Kipling's calling seems to be quite the contrary achievement, for he has a truly remarkable gift for mixing up right and wrong in conduct, until it becomes an engaging ex ercise in moral analytics to estimate the average righteousness of the product In Sunday school books, good folks and bad ones ought to appear sufficiently unlike to be readily classed la Mr. Kipling's books they do not always so appear. Good conduct as be depicts it is apt to be badly speckled, and bad conduct is prone to be extenuated by various ingratiatiog impulses. The ten commandments, which Lowell said 'will not budge,' do budge generously at Mr. Kipling's impact, and are lucky if they get half the road. Maybe they budge more in real life than Lowell admitted maybe one res,son we like most of Kipling's books is that he is tolerant of a modern degree of sinfulness in humanity, and pictures it as co-existent with appealing traits. Still, taken by and large, Kipling iB no man for Sunday schools. Let the Crawfordsville children read him weekdays, especially 'The Jungle Books,' and on Sundays adhere to 'Ben-Hur' and the other excellent literary achievements of their distinguished fellow-townsman', General Wallace."

FUN FOR.THE FIGHTERS-

They Find Themselves Tangled Up in tbe Meshes of the Law.

Several gentlemen with pugilistic proclivities came to grief Saturday. In Squire Stillwell's court last Saturday Wat Ham and John Washburn meandered to the judicial throne to mournful music and each had his leg palled to the-extent of 811.65 These excellent young men were playing pool at Alamo some days ago and when Ham put the cue ball in the pocket he claimed exemption on the ground that one leg or the table had been taken off a few minutes before to do service as a ball b&t in an adjoining lot. This claim was disallowed and the young men began to tight like ITilipinos after a beer feBtival. The battle resulted in a draw, and last Saturday's engagement resulted in a draw also—a draw of all each chap had in the bank.

Oa Friday afternoon at Ferguson's brick yard, Sam Zachery proceeded to allow his angry passions to rise and while they were up he punched the head of Bert Carver. Bert came on a dog trot to the court of 'Squire Buck and swore out a warrant for the arrest of biB assailant. Z&chery did not stand trial, but last Saturday was up and entered a plea of guilty.

Charles Maston lives up near New Richmond and he has been arrested for assaulting Charles Shoemaker, a youth to fortune and to fame unknown. It seems that Shoemaker is a youth given to indiscreet remarks and his comment upon Maston was of such a character that that gentleman drew a horse whip and gave the lad a few cuts that caused him to bellow like a bull of Beshan. ____

Improvements at the Court House.

Some material improvements have been made at the court house during the present vacation which will doubtless be appreciated by the bar. The petit jurors will hereafter deliberate in the room heretofore occupied by the grand jury. Tt\e judge takes the old petit jury room for his office and tbe room formerly the judge's room will hereafter be utilized as a consultation roou for the attorneys. A number of other pleasing minor changes have also been mad^

Miss

Lizzie Hernley arrived home

last week from a three months' tour of Europe. 8he was accompanied on the return trip by A. H. Thompson, the horseman. Mrs. Thompson and daughter,

MiBB

Emily, did not come

bank and will make their home ia England.

NEW SCHOOL. BOOKS-

Tbe Geographies and Arithmetics to Be Changed in tbe Graded Schools-

It has been decided to change the school books in the graded schools, the old geographies and arithmetics being declared impracticable. County Superintendent Walkup states that he desired to impress upon the minds of tbe teachers and patrons the importance of making the change at the first of the term.

Arrangements have been made with Ginn & Co., to exchange Frey's complete geography for fifty cents, retail price seventy five cents Frey's introductory geography, exchange price twenty-three cents. The Indiana school book company iias no exchange price. The new advanced arithmetic, exchange price thirty-five cents elementary arithmetic, exchange price twenty-five cents, retail price thirtyfive cents.

THE FAIR.

Will Be Balloon Ascensions Three Days— Races Abont All filled.

The fair directors met last Saturday in regular session and transacted some business relative to the approaching exhibition. A. contract was made with a balloon man to make ascensions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the fair. This cheerful idiot guarantees to make his initial ascension astride a bicycle and to return to the earth in the same manner by the aid of a parachute.

J. C. Barnhill and Wm. H. Montgomery were appointed as assistants at the main gate, B. S. Myers at the

eaBt

gate and W. P. Herron at the west gate. A committee composed of J. J. Insley and W. W. Morgan was appointed to solicit the ladies' drill corps to give an exhibition drill on Thursday and the zouave company to give a drill on Friday.

It was also decided to bar market gardeners from contesting for honors in class 31, item 25, this being open to local farmers only.

Secretary Hulet reported that the races were all filled with the exception of one and he had strong hopes of filling that also. In most of the races the entries are numerous and all the horses first-class. The racing promises to be especially good.

To Philadelphia.

Major TraviB reports the following people from this city and vicinity as taking in the excursion to PhUadelphia via the Big Four: Dr. E. H. Cowan and wife, Mro. Hauser and daughter, Hattie, Ed Purviance, Misa Edith Bryant, Mrs. J. 0. Barron, E. B. Quick, JSB. Ga'ley, Fred Manson, Dr. T. J. Griffith and wife, J. J. Fisher, Humphrey Ristine, Frank Reed, Harvey Tinsley, Mr. and Mrs. Will Hunt, Lawrence Alvard, of Ladoga, and Wm. H. Day, of New Market.

Oar Corn IMd.

Those in a position to know think that the corn crop in Montgomery county this year will be in the neighborhood of four million five hundred thousand buBhels. The largest previous yield was in 1896, when the yield was placed at about four miUion bushels. The acreage was then 76,000 acres. This year the acreage is considerably larger and the yield is something unprecedented. It is thought that about three-fourths of the crop in this county is now out of the danger of frost.

Crop Bulletin.

The Indiana weather crop bulletin just issued states that the rain is much needed everywhere in the

Btate.

An

exceedingly heavy and good yield of corn is expected. Apples, melons and pickles are abuadant, and a large crop of grapes is ripening. Late potatoes need rain to insure a good yield, and the pasturage is turning brown in most localities.

Nixon Wins.

Nixon won tbe free for all trot la&t week at Franklin, in three straight heats and reduced his record from 2:21 to 3:19J£.

TRADE-MARK.

JOHN BLAIR'S SUCCESS.

He Called to the Pastorate of aCbarcb in Paris, Illinois.

Rev. J. Allan Blair, of the Washington avenue Presbyterian church of Terre Haute, has received a call from the principal Presbyterian church at Paris, 111.

The PariB Daily Deacon says of the call to Dr. Blair: "On the first ballot the name of the Rev. J. Allan Blair re* ceived fifty-eight tallies, just one-half of the votes cast, and he gained in favor on each successive trial. After the fourth vote had been taken it was decided to make a unanimous call for Mr. Blair, and the session was authorized to sign this call as representatives of the entire congregation.

This church organization is to*'be congratulated on having secured the talented services of this man. Though young, scarcely 29, he has already made a splendid record, and his natural abilities are too apparent to question. Mr. Blair was born and spent most of his boyhood in Crawfordsville, Ind and graduated at Wabash college in that city in the year '93. Three years later he completed the course at Union Seminary in New York City, and during bis student days there was an able assistant to Dr. Parkhurst.

From the time of his ordination until this present c&il he has been connected with the Washington avenue Preebyterian church of Terre Haute, where his labors speak for the man's worth. He will be asked to join his new fold as soon as possible, and will probably be installed in another fortnight."

WITH WILDER.

The Dedication of the Wilder Monument of Peculiar Interest to the Local Soldiers.

WALTER BAKER & CO.'S

Breakfast Cocoa

The approaching dedication of the Wilder brigade monument at Chlekamauga has a peculiar interest in Montgomery county, for this country contributed more men to the brigade than any other county in the coantry, From Montgomery _county two full companies were enlisted, one from Crawfordsvijle and one ^rom Linden and Ladoga, and also the greater part of a third company, this beinjffrom up about Shannondale and enrolling among its members Governor Mount. Besides these infantry companies A majority of the 18th battery waB also enlisted here. Many of theae men have since died or removed, but quite a nr.mber still reside here. Strange to say the only commissioned officer of the brigade now a resident of the county, is W. P. Herron. Henry Oampbell was a commissioned officer daring the war, but he won his commission after his transfer to another battery. Of Wilder's brigade, Indiana furnished two full regiments and the 18th battery.

WILL NEVER RECOVER.

Superintendent Edenharter States That Alfred Wells Will Never Again .... .Be Rational.

Superintendent Edenharter, of the Central Hospital for the Insane states that Alfred Wells, who killed his little boys on June 1, is failing mentally instead of improving. Dr. Edenharter states that the expert physicians of the hospital have given his case careful study and are convinced that he had been an insane man long before he committed his terrible erime. They are positive in their assertions that he will never again be Bane and think that hia life will not be along one. He may begin to fail rapidly in physical health at any time as such is the usual history of cases like his. At any rate it is positive he will spend the balance of

MB

days in the asylum.
