FRIDAY. OOTOBER 6. 1899.
THE sultan of Sulu and Mr. Bryan each favor 45 cent dollars, though the sultan probably does not know any batter.
MB. JOHN R. MCLEAN says there is a very bright prospect of hin election. Unfortunately we loaned our telescope to a Populist friend who wanted to look for calamity si(?ns.
THE Republic, of Columbia has adopted the gold standard. Again has a crime been committed. We wonder who has bought and paid for this. 'Why not blame Mark Hanna? He is responsible for everything.
WHAT an incongruous spectacle iB presented by the Ohio Democrats with their platform appealing to the masses .•gainst capitalists and trusts, and -'JohnR. McLean, millionaire, banker and corporation president heading the state ticket. "Consistency thou art a jewel."
THE debt of gratitude which the public owes to the gallant Dewey for the honor he won for American arms, is only equaled by that which iB due him for the unwonted Bilence imposed •upon the "perpetual candidate." "Silence is golden." Has Bryan become a ".gold bug?^
GENERAL OTIS has been much criticised for his conduct of the campaign in the Philippines but when compared with that of the Spanish General Rivera, who commanded in the islands, there does not seem to be .much cause for complaint. The first year of his campaign Rivera lost 8,000 prisoners, 1,000 killed or mortally wounded and 2,600 disabled by disease —a total of 11,600 or 46 per cent of his entire command. Gen. Otis in the eight months of his campaign has loBt 253 men killed, 92 deaths from wounds, 470 incapacitated from disease and no prisoners, a total of 815, or^,about 2% per cent of his command.
THE scene presented when Admiral Dewey arrived at the White House, whither he was escorted from the ••railway station, by a troop of regular cavalry, was one worthy to be preserved for future generations in a historical picture. The President and every member of the cabinet was there to meet him. The admiral was met at the door by Secretary Long, who escorted him to the President. The hearty hand Bhake of the President and the admiral and the admiration on the faces of both as they looked into 'each other's eyes will never be forgotten by those who were present.
There was a general jollification for a few minutes, after which the party started for the reviewing stand, amid the plauditB of thousands.
CAPTAIN CARTER, one of the most brilliant and admired men in the regular army, the honor man of his claES at WeBt Point, a man rich, influential, and charming, has been sentenced to penal servitude for defrauding the government. President McKinley, resisting the tremendous influence brought to bear in behalf of this man, has approved the just verdict of an impartial court-martial and the sentence will be carried out, pathetic aB is the .. spectacle presented. For a man of
Captain Carter's splendid intellect and brilliant partB to be thus degraded is a terrible thing, but its moral effect will be far reaching and is but another illustration of the gloriouB impartiality of American lawB when they are 'Carried out by honest, fearless men.
Review of Reviews: Nicaragua wisheB the canal completed at the earliest possible moment she also would prefer the United States to do the work and operate the canal when finished. It now depends upon congress to harmonize conflicting interests. The United States has the matter entirely in her own hands. If Bhe chooses to reappoint commissions indefinitely to investigate and report to each succeeding congress for the next twenty years on the feasibility of the proposition and the financial cost, rather than to begin digging, she need not be surprised or disappointed if at length some private corporation undertakes the work and carries it to a successful finish. But if she means sincerely to follow a policy to which Republican platforms have been pledged for yearB, legislation can be enacted and negoti •tlone can be entered into which will eause the shoveling of dirt on the isthmna within six months. Everything depends upon the seriousness of purpose on fcthe part of the government.
A ROMANTIC SfORY.
How Charley Maier Finds His Children After a Separation of FortySix Years.
Karl Ludwig Maier, or as he is more familiarly known, "Dutch Charley," has been a resident of Montgomery county for over thirty years, going only recently to the soldiers' home at Danville, 111., and those who have seen him passing on the streets or working his little farm have little dreamed of the man's romantic history. Last Monday he was rejoined by the children whom he last saw forty-six years ago, and who all their lives practically have believed him dead.
Maier was raised at Kirkheim in Wittenburg, when Wittenburg was a kingdom to herself. He was born in 1819, and was a married man with a wife and one child, Mary, in 1848, when a rebellion broke out against the king of Wittenburg. Maier joined the ranks ot the insurgents and during the fruitless struggle againBt an unjust monarch was a loyal soldier of a losing cauBe. When the end came several years later, in 1853, he was forced to flee to save his life. A second child, a son called Robert, had been born during the war, and was a year old when the father bade his family farewell and left for America. ,He landed here with about a thousand dollars in cash and this he invested in a glue factory in Buffalo, another German putting hiB experience against Maier's capital. It was the old story and Maier, left penniless, drifted about from place to place until the great civil war broke out, when he enlisted in a New York regiment and served for four years right gallantly. He was a splendid soldier and in attestation of this he treasures two medals awarded for distinguished bravery on the field of battle. One of these is a bronze medal and the other is a silver one. The latter reached him only a short time ago. It seems that immediately after the war he was lost sight of by his old comrades and it was not until Capt. H. H. Talbot brought out his identity that the medal was bestowed. When the war was over Maier went to Minnesota and lived there for some time with the Indians, becoming one of them in fact. He got out great quantities of tan bark there, and after accumulating a little money he drifted to Crawfordsville and here he made his home. He purchased a little farm a short distance north of town, near Nicholson's crossing, and there he led a solitary life. He gardened and proved a good citizen, thrifty and honest. He twice Bent money to his wife to enable her to join him, but receiving no response he concluded that she must be dead and quit writing. A few months ago he decided that as age was coming on him he would best enter the Danville soldiers' home, and with this end in view he came to John M. Schultz for advice as to the disposal of his property. He told his story and Mr. Schultz advised that diligent inquiry be made for the children he left so many yearB ago in Wittenburg. Mr. Schultz wrote therefore to Kirkheim and in due time received a letter. ThiB informed him that some yearB ago apart of an estate came to Maier, and that under the law of the land when a man's seventieth year had been reached and his whereabouts were unknown he was legally declared dead and the property reverted to his next of kin. In 1890 thiB legal action was taken in Maier's case and the money had been taken by his children, who had emigrated years ago to the United States and who Bent receipts for the money from Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Schultz accordingly wrote to Rochester for information and Monday afternoon there arrived here both of Maier's children and his granddaughter, a pretty young miss of sixteen, the daughter of the son he had left in the cradle when he fled from Wittenburg BO many years ago. They proceeded to the officetof Mr. Schultz and there were Been by a representative of THE JOURNAL while they(waited for the train for Danville.
The daughter is a widow, ia Mrs. Keppler, a motherly old creature, and the son is a jolly little fellow, the picture of the father who is so wellknown to the citizens of Crawfordsville. Robert Maier is a prosperous Ihaker in Rochester and he stated that he would take his father home with him. Both he and his sister were overjoyed at the thoughts of a reunion and their cup of happiness seemed full. They had both been told by their mother that their father was dead and the news that he was alive and living comparatively near to them, fairly took their breath'and they came on post haste to see him. Their mother had died only ten years ago, although she never came to America, being afraid to cross the sea. Both
Robert and his sister came here twen-ty-five years ago, however, and here they married and raised their famiheB The party took in the sightB of the street fair and left on the eveninsr train for Danville.

Seventeenth Birthday Surprise.

He had arranged for a croquet party the following afternoon, and to his surprise they all came in on him Friday night and gave him a complete' surprise. The guests met on the roads north and south of his home and at the appointed time each moved down the road and met at his home. All. was quiet and Master Wheat was industriously solving some knotty problems in arithmetic when on turning around he was surprised to sed his friends pouring through the door.

Washington street, Indixnapolis that on July 10, 1899 the defendant caused to be published in the CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL an article which accused the plaintiff of stealing money from his store instead of Miss Coulter, whom it had been alleged had been charged in a Crawfordsville paper as guilty of the theft. On account of this publication the plaintiff asks 810,000 damages. "In the third paragraph it is alleged that the defendant in 1899, stated in the presence of several citizens, that he had caught the plaintiff'' dead to rights taking money out of his money drawer that by reason_of these malicious and false words the plaintiff is greatly injured in her good name and alBo greatly injured in her business. She asks damages for 810,000." "The fourth paragraph sets fourth that soon after she had entered upon employment in defendant's grocery store he began systematically to deceive and ruin her by treating her more kindly than he did the other clerks in the store, by giving her greater privileges which he did not give to his other clerks, and would allow her to have sometimes an hour and sometimes a half day off from her duties in eaid Btore, so much BO that it became a subject of remark and criticism by the other clerks that she was poor, and that the defendant frequently told her to take what money she needed from time to time out of his money drawer and said it would be all right, and the plaintiff, through her ignorance and inexperience, did not suspect any evil motives or design on the part of the defendant. She avers that she frequently took money frcm the cash drawer under hiB authority and part of the money she got in the store was handed to her by the e'efendant himself. The plaintiff alleges that one day he invited her into the basement of the Btore, where he made an improper proposal to her which

greatly shocked her. She refused to have any relations whatever with him, but later he again persuaded her to go back into the store. She avers that she continued to take Bmall sums from the cash drawer, believing the previous arrangement in that regard still held good. On June 10, 1899, she took 816 from the drawer. She declares that on that date the defendant had placed his 'brother-in-law, Arthur Davis, and other witnesses in such a position that they saw her take the money and that he thereupon accused her of theft.
