A BIG DAY.

Thousands of People in the City Taking In the street Fair.

Yesterday was one of the big days at the street fair and notwithstanding the fact that it opened cool and cloudy strangers began to arrive by sua up. By 8 o'clock there was a good crowd on the streets and when the several excursion trains had deposited their human freight there was no thoroughfare, save with great difficulty, in the business portion of town. In all places where the exhibitions were in progress there was simply no getting through at all.

The horse shows while very good failed to attract much attention, people prefering to take in the side shows and the novel attractions along the Street.

4 NOTES.

Charley Rountree took the first prize for yellow corn. The Monon trains brought in over 800 people Thursday morning.

The hey rube band has been giving great satisfaction and has attracted considerable favorable comment.

J. A. Hicks, of New Market, won three firsts, two seconds and one special on his Light Brahmas at our fair this week.

It is said that the corn display is the best ever made in this county. Large crowds have visited the Y. M. 0. A. auditorium to see it.

The poutiry department is far in advance of that of last year there being & fine lot of fowls on dresB parade at the Y. M. 0. A. auditorium.

The agricultural exhibit in the M. 0. A. auditorium is one of the best seen in Crawfordsville for years, the corn display baing especially worthy of mention. Everyone Bhould visit the auditorium and see this splendid display.

The Hagenback show suffered serious loss Tuesday, one of its lions suddenly dying. The animal had not been sick before but suddenly tell in flt alonu° in the afternoon and died It wb8 a two-year-oid beast and a very handsome one.

The advertising delegation of the Veedersburg street fair came in on Thursday over fifty strong and headed by a band. The boomers all wore red hats and made a fiae showing as they paraded the streets, the immortal Berry leading on. Several attractive banners were carried and things were whooped uj in a lively fashion. The fair will be held week after next and a lively time is promised.

The Mexican theatre on the corner of Washington and Market streets, came to grief Thursday. The management had been pretty tame until Thursday and no protests were made, but they evidently 'concluded that everything would go on the big day and Thursday they opened up good ahd strong. C. Smith, of the privilege committee, heard what was on and made a visit to the place He found a woman singing a "tuff" song and at once ordered the place closed. The committee is keeping a close watch on the attractions of the fair and will tolerate no objectionable features. ______

Blanks for Truant Officers,

The state board of truancy has just issued to the county truant officers three sets of blanks to be used as weekly reports. The first set is for the teachers in reporting to the county officers the week's abront children the second set is to be used by the officers in report'ng to the county superintendent the names of all truants for the week, and the third set is prepared for the use of the truant officers in notifying the parents of the absent children that, in accordance with the law, they must Bee that the children are sent to school. This is the first time that uniform blanks for each county have been issued by the tate board.

To Delinquents.

THE JOURNAL will this week drop from its subscription roll several names These names are those of de­

linquents who have paid no attention to statements sent them. This action is to be regretted but it is only justice to all concerned. These ^delinquents will receive no papers after this week unless they pay up their arrearages.

Cal Barnhill have issued invitations for the marriage of' their daughter, Fairy Ethel, to Mr. Felix Henry Willis, of Enfield, lil., the wedding to occur at the Christian church in this city, Wednesday evening, Oct. 18, at 8 o'clock.

ORAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 189J)—TWEL.YE PAGES.

LAFAYETTE COMES TO TOWN.

Tbe lllg Delegation [looming the Lafayette Street Fair Spends the Evening Here.

The big delegation booming the Lafayette Btreet fair arrived here Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock and managed to take the chill out of the atmosphere until 10, when the special train on which the delegation arrived left for home with 400 aB tired rooters as ever did a day's work for their town. The special train arrived here from the north over the Vandalia and was met at the station by a couple of hundred of the Crawfordsville talent, together with the street fair band and the hey rube band. The Lafayette crowd had two bands, so there was no lack of music along the route,' "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-Nieht" be ing the popular air. The visitors had several novel and attractive features to their parade, the most pleasing of which was the delegation of uniformed Red Men in their continental uni formb. The equad of policemen under Chief Harrison aleo inspired applause and possibly a little fear. In the delegation were many of the leading citi zens of Lafayette, and Lieutenant Governor Haggard was a conspicuous figure. Most of the visitors were gaily bedecked with ribbonB, and they made the requisite amount of noise as they paraded through the streets. They had ginger to spare afcd they thor oughly advertised the Lafayette fair.

The streets were thronged with spectator^ and there was applause all along the line of march.

S^ATE UNIVERSITY TOWN.

Bloomlueton Dependent ou Polluted Sur face Water or Spring Water at a Fancy Price.

Bloomington Telephone: The water famine is proving much more serious than is generally supposed. An in quiry into the figureB show that over 100,000 gallons of water have been sold and, delivered in the past few weeks.

This is furnished largely from two springs—the Hottel and Hopewell springs, each of which run about 400 baTrele a day, all of which is delivered and sold ss fast as it can be secured. The Viectric light company alone uses 175 barrels daily, and Mr. Hottle sells from 70 to 80 barrels a day at 20 cents a barrel, delivered. As much more is taken from the Hopewell springB, and measured at 50 gallons a barrel, it is easy enough to calculate the amount of water that is used daily. The circus to-morrow has arranged for 3,000 gallora from the Hottel springs, for which they pay $10 for the privilege of allowing it to be pumped into their tanks. The railway company will also furnish one or two cars of water for the Bhow.

Inasmuch as the weather man absolutely refuses to give any indications of rain, it is difficult to tell what will be the result if the water famine continues. The council last night made an order that the wells at the FariB corner and by the Whittaker grocery be opened at once, and it is hoped they will send forth living streams of water for the hungry and thirsty that will crowd the city to see the elephant tomorrow.

Serenades a Grocery Store.

Franafort News: While the Crawfordsville band was here last week advertising the street fair they halted in front of the Fred Roush grocery store on the north side of the court house square and discoursed a number of their best tunes. After Sim Eldridge had rendered a number of solos and the tujia player had split the air with his deepest tones the leader discovered a large pumpkin and other products of vegetable kingdom on the sidewalk, when it dawned upon the musicians that they had been serenading a grocery store instead of the Frankfort Crescent• The sign on the building caused the mistake and as the Crawfordsville gentlemen had their heads high in the air they could see nothing but the old Bign at the top of the building, and while reading it had visions of columns of free advertising which they hopejl to receive from the Crescent in return for the music.

In a Crowded Condition.

Tho State Soldiers' Home near Lafayette, is in a crowded condition because of the fact that several wealthy counties in the state have neglected to build any cottages. If they do not build soon the home will be forced to deny further applications, and the original intention of the project will fail. Grant county, with its thirtyfive inmates, has no cottage there and does not seem to be in auy hurry to build one. Allen county with its wealth has no cottage and Cass county has failed to make any provision

far.

The Crawfordsville Recruits for the For-ty-Fourth Infantry Voted a Fine Lot of Men.

A letter received from one of the Crawfordsville boys who enliBted in the Forty-fourth United States infantry states that all the Orawfordsville contingent are pleasantly located. The weather is cool but the stoves in the tents give relief. The men were all re-examined and not a single Crawfordsville boy was rej acted. The officers of the regiment all voted the Crawfordsville delegation a fine one and complimented the physicians who made the physical examination.

As nearly all of the Crawfordsville boyB had been in service before, they were assigned to different companies in order to help out in the work of drill, a majority of the recruitB being raw turnips. The Crawfordsville men were all told, however, that if they chose they could later all be assigned to one company.

AMERICA AS A NAVAL POWER.

Gen. lew Wallace's Prophetic Remarks Five Tears Ago,

New York

Commercial:

THEY ALL PASSED. PERSONAL MENTION.

In 1894 Gen.

Law Wallace, then a member of the board of visitors to the Annapolis naval academy, in a speech to the cadets, said: 'STti declare to you deliberately that th^,day is near, i'f it has not already arrived, when the navy 1B to transcebd the army in popular favor. This, I think, but a rational deduction. The work of the army is done. The Indians are quiteted. I have not committed myself to an assertion that there will be np more wars that would be an Arcadian dream. What is the Monroe doctrine other than a standing challenge to Europe? Undoubtedly hostilities will come. Where will the lighting be? Young gentlemen, behold your .opportunities!" This sounds like a prophecy in the light of recent events. One great, one stupendous figure came out of the war with Spain. He was not a land soldier, but a sea fighter. General Wallace is right—the army has had its day. Future wars will be fought out on the open sea or in the narrow channels of the harbors.
