Saul R, FiSher, of Brown Township, Accused of Marital Infidelity.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher, of Brown, township, has sued for & divorce from her husband, Samuel R. Fisher. The defendant is a prominent citizen of the township and several years ago made the race for county commissioner on the Democratic ticket apd came within a few hundred votes of being elected. He is a jjlly Riant with long flowing black whiskers and melting brown eyes in which can be seen no guile. Still, if Mrs. Fisher's tale is true, he is too gay for the quiet precincts of old Brown. She charges that he has been visiting Indianapolis too frequently in order to baBk in the smileB of a certain sunny haired female at so much a bask. The complaint is made good and strong and Mrs. Fisher will ask for alimony to match the financial standing of the wicked Sam. As he pays taxes on about $20,000 worth of property, her share is not to be sneezed at.
LANDIS TO BRYAN.
The Congressman Says the Democrats Did Not Redeem Pledges.-
The Chicago Tribune publishes the following from Delphi, Ind., dated September 16:
'WHO'D A THOUGHT IT?" HERE'S YOUR CHANCE-
Editor of the Tribune: I noticed in the Tribune of this morning an interview with Mr. William J. Bryan, in which he says, when asked "whether a declaration against trusts by both parties in their platforms would put an end to the discussion." "Not at all, because the Republican party has made a record that might cast suspicion on its good intentions, even though it were to declare against trusts. Why give that party lour more years to do something promised when the present administration has done nothing?"
In 1892 the Democratic party, in national cinvention assembled adopted a platform, the fifth section of which was as follows: "We recognize in the trusts and combinations which are designed to enable capital to Becure more than its just share of the ioint product of capital and labor a natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which prevent the free competition which is the life of honest trade, but we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary. "Upon this platform the Democratic party elected a president and secured control of both branches of congress. Mr. William J. Bryan was elected a member of that congress, and was a member of the committee on ways and means, the most important committee in the house. Will he kindly paint to any attempt on the part of either himsalf or his party to redeem the pledge on which they were sleeted? Until he shall Had time to do this, he can with much better grace avoid questioning the good faith or sincerity of any other party or individual. With this record staring him and his party associates in the face, can he propound the inquiry. "Why give the Republican party four years more to do something promised, when the present administration has done nothing."

Playful Paul Tucker.
Paul Tucker, tbe young son of Dr. H. A. Tucker, late of this city, has joined the didn't-know-it-was-loaded brigade. The Greencastle Banner says: 'Paul Tucker nearly shot off the middle finger of his right hand Friday evening while showing his sister how a revolver worked. He didn't know it was loaded, but it was. The bone was shattered, but it is believed the finger will not have to be taken entirely off. Dr. Tucker dressed the wound."
Echoes of the fair.
The receipts this year were about 8200 less than last year, due to cold weather, dusty roads, corn cutting, free admittance of stockholders, and the Terre Haute races. With all these propositions to contend with, the showing was remarkably good.
It is stated that W. F. Hulet vjriil refuse to accept the secretaryship another year. Under his administration the affairs of the association have prospered.
On the Down Grade Again.
Nig Sering was run in Monday afternoon and sent to jail for eleven days on a charge of having slapped Mrs. Fink, of Morningside. Of late Nig has been attaining an unenviable notoriety and bids fair to shine in police circles as he did a few years ago. He took the Keeley cure and after two years of sobriety and industry he fell from grace with a dull thud.
Found a Fine Pearl.
On Sunday Tom Francis went pearl hunting in the musBle beds of Sugar Creek. He was rewarded by finding one pearl a quarter of an inch in diameter, of perfect shape and magnificent lustre. He haB refused an offer of 840 for it.
Captain Ketch am, of the Forty-fourth Infantry, Here in Ouest of Recruits for the Philippines.
Captain Ketcham, of the 44tli United States infantry, is iu the city and will remain hero until Saturday enlisting men for army service in the Philippines. As there are a number of husky y^oung men hereabouts who do not seem prepossessed with the arts of peace it is likely that he can do some business with them provided that they desire to do anything at all. Captain Ketcham will have his office with Ristine & Harcus, on south Green street, and is now ready to receive applications. He is a native of Indianapolis and is a son of ex Attorney-General Ketcham.
The men he enlists will bo taken directly to Fort Laavenworth, Kan., and will remain there only a short time before starting on the great trip around the world. The opportunity is probably the last one that will be extended to young men here, and doubtless a number will avail themselves of it. Service in the Philippines is much to be preferred to that in the West Indies, as the troops are practically free from disease in the former country.
The first man enlisted was Charles McClure, who has been employed at John Abbott's barber shop. McClure's home is in Macd.
Up in Frankfort Captain Dive Allen is making a recruiting record. Monday at 1 o'clock he had recruited one hundred and thirty men and had been at it less than a week. He started to enlist one company there and now has hopes of making up two.
LADOGA WAS EASY.
The Crawfordsville Outcasts Find Clark Township Team a Soft Proposition.
The Crawfordsville Outcasts, a ball team composed of athletic odds and ends, went to Ladoga Tuesday and in a one-sided contest took the pride of dark township into camp and hung its hide on the back fence. The story of the red disaster was told by Chaplain Murray. Said he: "It was dead easy picking all the way down the line. Our only misfortune was when we met an old farmer who gave
UB
the laugh and asked if
we were going to play foot ball. He won me. Carter pitched great bal and if it hadn't been for the errors of Marley on the coeching line we would have shut them out. Carter batted like a vampire, toe, and knocked a couple of home runs so far that they never did find the ball. I played the second bag myself and made no errors, accepting with grace the eleven chances that came my way. I showed the monkeys a few tricks with the stick also and pasted a couple of two baggers and a single just to demonstrate that the hero of the 158th was Mtill in It. The umpire was a rotten old stiff and didn't give
UB
any deci
sions at all. We bad to make them by hard work. When the game was over tbe score stood eight to four in our favor. It ought to have been twenty to nothing, but it wasn't."
Obituary.
1
Harvey Milton, son of Charles and Mary J. Ellrod, was born May 6, 1869, in Perryville, Ind., and came to Montgomery county early in life. Having connected himself, with the United Brethren church near Crawfordsville in 1884, he was thus a servant of that body for fifteen years. He was married to Julia A. Summers, Sept 20, 1891, and of this marriage four children have been given, two boys and two girls. He was called from earthly labors Sept. 17, 1899, thus being 30 years, four months and eleven days of age. During the past months he has been a great sufferer, but has borne it patiently. A remark from one oi his neighbors is expressive of his fortitude. He said: "Many a day has Harvey labored for me in pain, and many a day of suffering to him will never be known to man." He bore his burden meekly and quietly. He was never rugged in body, but seldom forced to his couch by sickness. His micd gave strong evidences of originality and turned not away from spiritual training. He sought peace with his Saviour and found it. Affectionately bidding his family farewell he passed into the presence of his Lord. A. S. B,
Ease for Kdna.
Last Tuesday in the circuit court Judge West granted Mrs. Edna Mullikin a divorce from her husband, Jas. B. Mulliken. It was shown to the satisfaction of the court that Jim was not what he should be as a husband for a nice young girl. He spent more time with the female friskers of Crawfordsville then he should and proved an all around fizzle. The MullikinB reside in New Market.

THE STREET FAIR-
It Will lie a Success—Committee Gives Assurance of Good Conduct.
The management of the "street fair reports that everything is now coming on swimmingly and that they have every assurance of success in all departments The committee is emphatic in its assertion that immoral shows and exhibitions will be barred. The members of the executive committee declare that while thoy were slipped up on in a few particulars last year they do not intend to be again. They will admit only decent shows and will take care that all others are effectually shut out. They will undeavor to have every respectable and amusing attraction that -is makiDg the rounds, but have already sent out word that the "tuffs" will have to steer clear of Crawfordsville. They are in receipt of hundreds of inquiries from showmen and feel that thoy can fill all the available space with clean attractions. The members of the committee are representative business men and what they say in all seriousness should be taken as an earnest of their honorable intentions in the matter. They give us warrant of a respectable, clean exposition and with this ambition they are deserving of all support.
GUARDIAN FOR WELL&.
His Wife Appointed to Take Charge of His Affiirj—Wells Hopelessly Insane.
Last Tuesday in the circuit court Mrs. Mary Wells was appointed by Judge West as the guardian of her husband, Alfred Wells, the maniac, who slew his two sons in such a tragic manner on June 1st. Mre. Wells and her brother, G. W. Deck, gave evidence as to the present condition of Wfells and the state of
hiB
affairs. Mrs Wells
seemed a person of unusual intelligence and force and made a good impression while on the stand. It was her first appearance in court, as at the time of her husband's trial she was very ill. She stated that she intended to sell the stock and implements on her husband's farm, rent the place out, and make her home with her mother until her two remaining sons were able to work on the farm. Mr. Deck stated that he visited Wells in Indianapolis last Sunday and found him unimproved. Supt. Tdenharter pronounces him as hopelessly insane.
IiKiiiina Crops.
The weather bureau's crop bulletin says: No rain fell the nights were quite cool, and light, harmless fr06t formed in localities of the northern portion on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. Corn matured rapidly cutting continued, and most of the crop is in shock late planted corn dried prematurely the yield, in general, promisee to be large. A fair crop of tobacco is housed under favorable conditions. Clover hulling has nearly ended in general, the yield ie light. A fair bean crop is being gathered. The prospects for a good potato crop have been lessened by the dry weather the sweet potato crop is poor. Rye is not doing well, it needs rain. There iB a good apple cr-p 'a some orchards, especially in the northern portion, and much cider is being made. Sail plowing is not all .done, the ground ^eing too bard and dry, and but little wheat has been sown farmers are waiting for rain to put the ground in better condition. Pasturage is dry everywhere on many farms live stock is being fed as in winter, and many farmers are hauling water.

Yates, Manistee'
Co., Mich., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—Two
years ago
I began having such dull, heavy, dragging pains in my back, menses were profuse and painful and was troubled with leucorrhoea. I took patent medicines
and consulted a physician, but received no benefit and could not become pregnant. "Seeing one of your books, I wrote, to you telling you my troubles and asking for advice. You answered my letter promptly and I followed the directions faithfully, and derived so much benefit that I -cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound enough. I now find myself pregnant and have begun its use again. I cannot praise it enough."
