Talks of Wabash College and the Question of the Presidency.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Dr. W. P, Kane, of Evanston, III., who will be the new president of Wabash college, was at the Bates house last night. The doctor creates a very favorable impression. He manifests great scholarship and executive ability and is prepossessing in every respect. "It is true," eaid he, "that there has been correspondence on the subject of selecting me to succeed Dr. Burroughs, but there has been no definite formal settlement of the question. I expect final action in a few weeks. "Wabash college," continued Dr Kane, "is a first class institution. It has an interest beaming endowment of half a million dollars aside from an excellent physical plant. It has an unusually strong teaching force and is well equipped with men and money, but still needs more money. Simon Yandes, of Indianapolis, has been one of our most liberal patrons. His donations will aggregate 8150 000."

ORAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1899-TWELVE PAGES.

A Good Bargain. !...

Doc Griffio, the popular driver of the fire wagon, liad a beautiful mare which was the idol of his heart, and it was Doc's pride on Thursday, his off day, to spend his time in grbomihg and carititf for his mare. For any one to have mentioned the idea of selling'it, would have been preposterous, but ail the same Doc got. it into his head to sell it the other day when offered a fancy price for it, and it went to an Indianapolis man for #150. But Doc had not consulted all concerned, and when he went home and told his wife what he had done, it was all off Last week he went to Indianapolis an'd returned on Friday with the animal. It is a matter of secrecy how much he had to give for his bargain, but it is eaid to have cost him a neat little sum.

O. W. Gregg Visits the Founder of the Young Men's Christian Association.

While many people in Orawfordsville know of the work of the local Young Men's Christian Association very few know much of it

a national and

international organization, or realize that the association jo. this city is a P^*rt of a movement that extends over the wide world. The Young Men's Christian Association waB organized in London, England, in 1844 by Sir George Williams, then a clerk in a dry goods house. Mr.

M. Gregg, presi

dent of the Crawfordsvill9 Y. M. 0. A. has lately had the pleasure of calling upon the founder of the Y. M.' 0. A. movement and an extract from a letter describing this call may be of interest. The letter reads in part as follows: "It was not until last Wednesday that I had an opportunity to call upon Sir George Williams. We went to his place of business in the morning and upon stating our errand were referred to Sir George private secretary he said Sir George would most likely be in between 13 and 1 o'clock. In view of the fact v.hat Mr. Fox had been identified with both local and state Y. M. 0. A. work, I took the liberty of inviting him to call with me. We returned at 12:30 p. m. and after a short wait were invited into Sir George's privato office. After a pleasant chat with him on Y. M. 0. A. work and other lines of Christian work, we were about to retire and said we did not wish to trespass upon his time, but if convenient, would like to see the 'little room.' He urged ue to remain and take lunch with him, and he would show us the room. Wo gladly accepted. After some'further conversation, he invited

to lunch, taking

us up stairs to the very room where the Yr M. 0. A. work commenced, (1844) the small, upper, back room fronting Paternoster Row. The room, he stated, had not been changed in all these years, except Bash with large glass had been sustituted for the sashwith small glass. The lunch was served in this room. It was a typical Englishman's meal—great roast beef, potatoes, peas, fruit, custard. Sir George Bat at the head of the table, Mr. Fox and self on either side. Sir George, while advanced in years, is young and active when it comes to service for the Master. After lunch each one offered a short prayer. Sir George gave us a very kind reception. The meeting with him was very helpful to both of us, and will always be cherished and remembered as one of the events of our lives. I have requested Mr. Fox to add a few lines.

Consolidating Oonntry Schools. Trustee Symmes, of Unioi township, will not open the school house in district No. 11 this year and haB contracted for the sum of 896 to haco the pupils of that* district hauled to No. 10. This will effect a saving to the township of 8200 or more and it is expected besides that the consolidated school, being larger, will do a more efficient work than the two smaller ones would. If the plan proves as successful as is expected, the trustee will next year abandon ten or twelve more schools, hauling the pupils to, the nearest school houses. This would save the township at least 82,500. The trustee's plan was approved by the advisory board and appropriations made accordingly.

UNION TOWNSHIP AFFAIRS-

The Advisory ftoard Decides to Raise the Levj and Get tha Towmhlp y*- Out of Debt. if..

The advisory board of Union township met last Friday and deaided to raise the levy from 78 oentsto93 cents. This will raise sufficient money to enable the trustee to pay off about 810,000 of the 813,000 debt of the township and the balance of the obligation o^n be canceled next year. The township has been in debt for several years and haB been paying good interest on borrowed money. It seemed to the advisory board that it would be business to get out of debt and so escape the burden of interest. The Btep had to be taken some time and the sooner the better. The members of the advisory board refused to accept the salary to which, under the law, they were entitled.

Wallace Is Rather Fulsome. Wallace B. Campbell, of the Anderson Herald, gives the following editorial notice regarding the misfortune of N. J. Clodfelter: "The saddest case of insanity which has come under our notice for many a day is that of Noah J. Clodfelter, flrBt promoter of the Anderson-Marion interurban road. We have known him for fifteen years and never knew a truer friend. He was the soul of honor. His life has been one long tragedy of toil. First a school teacher, then an insurance agent, and later a misguided promoter of large enterprises. From early boyhood until forty years of age be wrote occasional poems and finally succeeded in making a fortune out of his books, "Early Vanities" and "Snatched From the Poor House." During his struggles as an insurance agent and author he was the butt of the severest criticism by the press and other pseudo-authorn. He lived in good health to be able to laugh to scorn his early traducers and wring signal triumphs out of what they first called defeat. Out of his books he built a palatial residence, known in the Hoosier Athens as "Knoll Cottage." Just after moving into- this splendid modern house, the greatest Borrow of his life came over him in the loss of his charming wife, who during all of his early trials bad never allowed him to drink a single bitter cup of sorrow and disappointment that

waB

not

pressed to her lips. He was left with two 6mall girls, who now grown to womanhood, possess the refined, charming culture of their mother and the lofty ambition of their father. May fate deal kindly with them, and may the newspapers and literary critics, who are possibly responsible in a large measure for Mr. Olodfelter's condition, stay further use of harsh pen and word. Let the state, if it can, call back his dethroned reason and return him to the family which be loved better than he loved his own life. For them he struggled, for them he bore all hiB sorrows without complaint."

Jolly For Landis.

Capt. Wm E. English, in declining to speak at the Lebanon soldiers' reunion, writes as follows:

BEEDES. N. Aug. 20, 1899.—W. I Hostetter and committee Gentlemen:—Your kind invitation to addresB the soldiers' picnic at Lebanon, September 14ih, has been forwarded to me here, where I am spending several weeks, recovering from some of the ills left behind by the Santiago campaign. I regret exceedingly that my arrangements are such that I shall not return to Indiana in time to accept your invitation. My best wishes are at all times with the gallant veterans of the civil war and I trust that this gathering of the Boone county veterans will in every way prove happy and successful. My absence will not be missed in the able address which I know Congressman LandiB will aeliver to you, for he Is one of the brightest and bast of Indiana's galaxy of statesmen. Very truly yours,

WILL GOTO CUBA.

Horace Law Will Make Havana His

Horace Law will go to Havana early next month and will take with him one of the largest droves of mules ever tatten into the island. He has studied the horse and mule market there and is convinced that there is a great opening there in this line. He has seeared his animals already and has all things well in hand for his venture, whioh, under the conditions which preTail, cannot help but succeed. Mrs Law will accompany him and they will spend the winter in Cuba. They expect to return to this country upon ths approach of the next rainy aeaBon, however.

The Lecture Course.

The following lecture course haa been arranged for the Young Men's Christian Association for the seaBon of 1899-1900:

Nov. 1—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Nov. 14—The Appleton Ladies' Quartette and Readar.

Dec. 12—Dr. Jas. Hedley, of Cleve* land, O. Jan, 20—Prof. DeMotte.

Feb. 9—Temple Male Quartette and Miss Burnet, reader. March 15—Rev. Robt. Mclntyre, of Chicago.

The committee feels that this is ono of the best courses yet presented and one that deserves the patronage of tha citizens of Orawfordsville. The first number, tho concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will be found to be an exceptionally fiae entertainment. The committee is confident that no musical entertainment given in the city this winter will equal it. The orchestra consists of forty-Biz men under the leadership of Adqlph Rosenbecker, who is one of Chicago's most famous musicians. Critics hara proclaimed him a master of orchestra-* tion, a leader whose arrangement of programmes and interpretation will satisfy the most exacting. Mr Bosenbecker is at the zenith of his career and his orchestra is one of the best before the public. The artists who accompany the organization are/f labsT*™* national fame and Include W. &!*Sherwood, Mme. Ragna Linne and Heinrich Meyne.

The Appleton Ladjes' Quartette will give a pleasing entertainment of the highest order. The fact that a ladies' quartette iB a nevelty in oar course will not detract from its power to entertain. Dr. Jas Hedlejr has been in the city before and those who have heard him express themselves as highly pleased to know that he is to return. He is one of the leading lecturers of to-day and the management felt that they could (to no better than secure him. Prof. DeMotte gave such universal satisfaction last year and the demand for his return was BO great that he has again been placed upon the course. This year he will probably give "Python Eggs and American Bag", being a sequel to his lecture of last year. The Temple Male Quartette and Miss Miss Burnet will also come to us a second time. Miss Burnet so charmed her hearers last year that there seems to be no doubt of the house being filled the evening of Feb. 9. The coarse will be concluded by Rev. Robert Mclntyre, of Chicago, who is probably the most brilliant speaker of the central west. The many re engagements which he has constitute the most eloquent comment on his ability as an orator Everything he gives is appetizing and bright. Season tickets will be sold at 81 each and a small reserved Beat fee. Full announcements will be distributed later. v. .i

An Iuiportaut Omission.
