Secretary.

The £ongeiieeker Case.

Ladoga Leader: The case of George Longenecker, of which we give an ac count in another column is a peculiar one. We know nothing of his indications of insanity except as the rumors have come to us, and we know that rumore are very unreliable. Little tales once started, grow at a wonderful rate. When talk is started against man, few people wait for positive evidence, but most are very ready to ciroulate the reports with all necessary trimmings, and great injustice is frequently done. It may be that Longenecker is insane, we do not know. The commission that considered his case evidently ex'-, pressed their honest opinion when they gave their decision, and we have nouniust censure for them, but if Longnecker, a man without interested friends, iB sent to a mad houBe undeservedly & great wrong will be done. His liberty i^ dear to him and we hope that what is right may be done in his case as it should be done in all cases.

Probate Court.

The will of Edward T. Jennings, has been admitted to probate. Leonard E Acker is named as executor and after bequeathing $5 to his son Alonzo and $10 to his grandson, the remainder of his estate is left to his daughter, Caroline Stewart. The deceased was a resident of Waveland and owned several pieces of property there

DURING the winter of 1897 Mr. James Re6d, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., Btruck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much Bwollen and pained him BO badly that be could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and' a half gallons of whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not need this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is nnequaled (or sprainsi bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Nye A B009, druggists. 1

Tbe Mayor of St. Joseph, 111., Harried By Mayor Elmore Lait Friday.

Friday afternoon Nathan Patton, a leading1 citizen of St. Joseph, III., and incidentally mayor of the town, arrived here in company with Mrs Mary E. Pierce, a lady of the same place, but who has been living with her daughters, near KirKpatrick for some time. The happy couple proceeded directly to the clerk's office, where they took out license to wed. When the question of securing some one to officiate at the nuptials arose it was deemed proper to call in the mayor of Crawfordsville. Accordingly Captain Elmore was called in and performed the ceremony in his usual happy and felicitous style. After the service congratulations were extended and Mr. and Mrs. Patton left for a walk about town. They went to Kirkpatrick in the evening and after Mrs. Patton has secured her effects there they will go to their future home in St. Joseph.

Can't Hold the Goods.

A provision in a mortgage on household goods which gives the mortgagee the right to take possession of the goods in case of default is declared to be null and void. Judge Dowling in his opinion says: "The law is of uniform operation throughout the Btate and applies equally to all persons who execute and who hold chattel mortgages upon that species of personal property described as household goods. The property so designated usually embraces articles which are necessary, if not indispensable, for the comfort of the owner or his family, and the deprivation of which must be attended with hardship and suffering to a greater or less degree. In many of the states of the-union a part of theproperty exempted from seizure and Bale on execution is of this kind and is so described."

An Interesting: Incldeut.

P. S. Kennedy, in speaking of the recent discussion of the statement made by the Indianapolis Sentinel that Col. Henry S. Lane never made a speech in congress, said it called to mind a conversation which took place between him and Governor Hendricks more than twenty years ago. The governor was telling of some incidents of their joint canvass for the office of governor, in I860, and among others, spoke of a joint debate at Kokomo. A railroad ran through the grove in which the meeting was held, and while Colonel Lane was speaking, a long passenger train came at full speed through the grove. He stopped till the train had passed and then,Governor Hendricks said, there fell from his lips the finest specimen of impromptu eloquence he had ever heard. The railroad, the engine, the engineer, and the mighty rumble of the moving train with its mass of humanity on board, all came in for a part of his glowing and thrilling word picture. It was so sudden, so captivating, and so truly eloquent, said Governor Hendricks, that it put everything he had said in his opening speech in the background, and moBt of the crowd left shouting and hurrahing for Lane. Governor Hendricks expressed the highest appreciation of Colonel Lane's eloquence.

He Was Much Impressed By the Blue and Gray Reunion.

Indianapolis Sentinel'. Gov. Mount returned yesterday afternoon from the blue and gray reunion at Evansville. He was greatly impressed with the gathering and with the evident feeling of friendship between those who were there from the south and the representatives of the north. Several incidents happened which greatly pleased Governor Mount

In his Bpeech at the fair grounds Mr. Hemphill, the gifted orator of the Atlanta Constitution, laid great stress upon the importance of tbe recent act of Governor Mount and the state of Indiana in returning'the flag of the Texas rangers.

Later, at the banquet in the evening Mr. Hemphill created the wildest enthusiasm by again referring in his toast to Governor Mount and the state of Indiana in returning the flag. Leaving his Beat at the table he walked across to where Governor Mount stood and, taking him by the hand, said: "And here before this great gathering, in the presence' of the people of the north and the people of the Bouth, Georgia, through my humble self, holds out the hand of love and friendship to Indiana for its magnanimity and assures her that there is between her and us the closest bond of love and the most intense admiration for her peace offering."

The rain, the governor said, was unfortunate on Tuesday, as it compelled the people to stand in the mud and water, but in spite of the unpleasant weather thousands endured the discomfort and listened to tbe addresses, the beating rain not being able to drown the enthusiasm.

Returned After a Long Absence, People of Crawfordsville will remember the strange disappearance of Geo. Mish, who ran away from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mish, because they would not allow him to celebrate the Fourth of July. Diligent search was made for him but he could not be located. Mr. Mish finally died and his widow married a glass blower in the gas belt. Recently George put in an appearance at her home and told a rather Btrange story. After leaving Crawfordsville he drifted to Ohio and there fell in with the Shakers, finally becoming a member of the colony. The boy visited his mother awhile and then returned to his adopted Ohio home, seemingly content with his lot there. Mrs. Mish's second husband, the glass blower, recently died and Mrs. Mish now contends that the undertaker embalmed him before he was really dead. She maintains that he was merely in a trance and protested against the embalming. She will likely sue for damages.

Died in Kansas.

Mrs. Hanna J. Ohase, widow of the late Rev. Moody Ohase, formerly of Parkersburg, died at the age of 84 at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. B. M. Vancleave, of Topeka, Kan. Mrs. Chase had made her home in another city and had gone to her daughterMrs. Vancleave, on a visit. She was suddenly stricken with heart trouble and died. The remains were laid to rest by the side of her daughter, Miss Atheo Chase, at Enamey county, Kaneas. 1

A Remarkable Family.

There are now visiting at the home of William A. Everson, one mile south of the city, two of his aunts from Butler county, Ohio. They are part of a family of nine children born unto James Everson and his wife, all of whom are yet living and enjoying hearty old age. The oldest of the nine children is now past 84 and the youngest past 66. Stephen M. Everson, who lives north of the city, near the tile factory, is one of the nine children. The two youngest are twins.
