FATE OF JACK HAYS.

A Vandalia Brakeman Crushed Beneath the Wheels Wednesday. vi

On Wednesday near Garfield, Jack Hays, a Vandalia brakeman, sustained fatal injuries by falling beneath the wheels of fast freight number 55, which was runningsou th. It seems that the train had broken in two and so dense was the fog that the break was not discovered until the engine slowed a bit, allowing the sections to come together with a crash. The train was stopped to permit of an examination and the trainmen then found poor Hays lying beneath the wheels, with both legs cut off. He was picked up and placed in the caboose. As Crawfordsville has no hospital he was carried, through to the unction house and medical aid hastily summoned. It was clear from the first that the injuries were fatal, so only Buch attention was given as would conduce to the comfort of the poor fellow wliile life should last. He lived until the afternoon at 2 o'clock when death relieved his sufferings. Hays had been a popular employe of the road and lived in Logansport, where he had a wife and three small children. Mrs. Hays was not able.to reacti bis bedside before the end came. The body was be taken to Logansport for bufial on Wednesday evening.

There was little damage done to property by the coming together of the sections. One car was derailed, but the track was cleared before time for the morning passenger train.

ijvv Death of Bailie P. Reeves.

born Oct. 5, 1881. and died Nov. 19, 1899, at 8 o'clock a. m. She had been an invalid for almost two years, and forli year previous to her death was blind. She united with the Presbyterian church last June and was a true believer in her Savior the remainder of her life. She waB willing to go to rest and left a wish for all of her friends to live a better life and follow her. Her father died seventeen years ago and Bhe

children. W. M. Reeves, of the city, is the oldest. The fnneral took place at 10:30 a. m., Tuesday at the M. E. church at New Market. Rev. Buchanan, of the Ladoga Presbyterian church, officiated. Her body was laid to r66t at Indian Creek Hill cemetery, west of New Market. The funeral was under the auspices of the K. of P. lodge at that place, to which four of her brothers belong. Her life was a beautiful example of Christian patience under the pain of suffering and the blight of disease and her memory will long live as an inspiration to those she leaves behind—a constant reminder to them that—

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.

Sir. and Mrs. Charles N. Harding Celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of Their marriage.

Wednesday at their home, Gil south Washington street, Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Harding celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. In the afternoon a reception was held and quite a number of relatives and friends were pleasantly entertained. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harding are in excellent health and are enjoying to the utmost the blessings of a well spent life together. Nov. 22, 1849 was iust such a day as Wednesday and it gave the lie to the old song, "Happy is the bride the sun shines on," for Mrs. Harding's life has been a most happy one as well as along one. Her maiden name was Miriam Dunn and she was tbe daughter of N. A. Dunn, one of the original settlers of Crawfordsville. His residence was a mammoth two story affair built of logs and if it stU1stood it would block Main street right in front of T. D. Brown's residence. The Dunn farm extended west from the residence and the Dunn woods pasture began at what is now Grant avenue and included the fine residence portion of west Main Btreet. In this woods the first county fair was held, the fair building being just about where Captain Bryant's residence now stands. The Dunn mansion was in a blaze of giory on the night of the wedding and, perhaps, fifty of the leading people of the town were present. Only two of these wedding guests still live, however, they being Samuel Robinson, of Thorntown, and William Harding, of Rockville. An hour before the wedding the brother of the bride, the late Irvin Dunn, had been married to Miss Matilda Burbridge at the home of her father, Judge William Burbridge, and they were the last of the wedding guests to arrive at the Dunn home. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. J. 0. Eastman, a sober Presbyterian divine then stationed here. The wedding was a,merry one and was conducted not unlike the Bimilar functions of this day. There were no floral decorations, however, for then there were no conservatories in this part of the country and it was too late in the season for out ofdoor plants. What the affair lacked in flowers, however, it m^de up for in refreshments and the wedding feast would startle the natives if served nowadays. The next day Mr. an&'Mrs. Harding and Mr. and Mrs.

Irvin Dunn left overland for Annapolis, Parke county, where both grooms were then in business. They went in buggies and made splendid progress, the first day getting as far as Waveland. Mr. and Mrs Harding continued to live in Annapolis for about three years and then returned to Crawfordsville, where they have since lived. They have been peculiarly happy in their children all five of whom still live. They are: Mrs. Mary Twyman, of Macomb, 111, Mrs. Ella Barrett, of Wyoming George D. Harding, of Bloomington, 111. Mrs. Anna McCabe, of Covington, and Charles M. Harding, of Marshall, 111. There are also eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren, and no death hae as yet broken the circle of any of the family of decendants.

The out of town guestB present at the celebration were: George D, Harding and wife, of Bloomington, 111^ Charles M. McOabe and family, of Covington Mrs. Mary I. Twyman, of Macomb, 111. 0. M. Harding and wife, of Marshall. 111. William H. Harding and wife, of Rockville, and Ed Crowe and wife, of Greencastle.

W. B. Herod, From Oklahoma.

Wm. B. Herod, formerly a practltion er before the Montgomery circuit court, but now of Guthrie, Oklahoma has returned home after coming back to bury his father at Ladoga. Mr. Herod now has many cases before Judge Burford and speaks highly of him. On the question of statehood for Oklahoma Mr. Herod is, of course, Btrongly affirmative. He recognizes, however, that as long as the Republicans are in power at Washington, Oklahoma, "with her majority of Democrats and~ Populists, has very little show. He says that if these two parties should fail to fuse it would leave the Republicans in the majority. He is a great admirer of Dennis Flynn, Republican delegate to congress, and although himself a Democrat voted for Flynn at the last election.

BALLARD ON HELL.

He Says the Lord Deals With Men on the Cash IJasiti— Dab at Street fairs.

Bloomington W Rev. T. E Ballard, of Crawfordsville, who is preaching a series of sermons on Universalism in the court room addressed a fair sized audience last night. At the close of the services Rev. Holloway stated that he would be pleased to debate the question at issue, and thiB challenge was accepted by Rev. Ballard.

Mr. Ballard preached a radical sermon Sunday, on hell. "Sin," said the preacher, "is misery. Sin is hell. God deals with men on the cash basis. He does not defer his rewards and his penalties(rfor a future state. If you sin you suffer here and now. What would you think of your court herpif the judge should gather up all the law breakers in the community and after finding them guilty should turn them «all loose to go on sinning for ten years at the end of which time he should again gather tbem in to be punished? What would you think of your schools ifj the discipline in them were conducted on such a plan? Punishment to have any restraining power must instantly follow sin and not be deferred toj some distant day."

But the most striking opart of the sermon was its arraignment of the gambling in the church fairs and the far worse immoralities in the so-called street fairs. The vilest and most sickening vic.es of the great cities had been exported to the country and under the patronage of "Christian" business men were debauching 'the youth of the land.

Whoever thinks the Universalists have no hell ought to hear Mr. Ballard. Their minds would be quickly disabused.

TROUBLE AHEAD-

Foster Says Decemhbr Will le Replete With Frozen Zephyrs.

Prof Foster's forecasts for December are not at all cheering, severe cold weather with blizzards and storms being largely the "servings" of the weather man. He Bays: "December 1 and 2, will be under the reactionary period beginning in November. Moon is new at an eclipse node on the 2nd, hence low barometer, warm weather and storms will continue over that date. Severe storms and seismic shakes in many parts of the globe. Cold wave from 31 to 6th. A regular storm period from Oth to 9th, during which snow and rains will viBit most sections. Another general cold wave about 7th to 11th. Reactionary storm conditions will again be central on the 12th and 13th, ending in change to colder from 13th to 10th. From the 10th to 19th, many heavy winter storms may be expected on sea and lrvnd followed by blizzards and a sweep ing cold wave reaching far south and lasting up to return of Btorm condi tions about 23d to 25th. December endB in a combined vulcan and mercury period calling for heavy snow and blizzards, with great cold wave reaching into January, 1900.

That Mew Market Case.

To*the Editor of the Journal. SIB:—I notice in your issue of the 17th an article entitled "Fun at New Market," in which you spoke rather approvingly of the result of the suits in which Hauk and Branson figured. I believe if you would publish the facts upon which the suit was based and the two sections of the statutes governing them, the verdict of your unbiased readers would be different from the one rendered by Justice Brown, or the one that your article 1b calculated to obtain from them. I do not BuppoBe that the public is very much concerned as to whether Hauk and Branson can agree, or whether they have much love for each other or not, but the public iB interested in knowing that whether Hauk, Branson or any one else appeals to the law, that the construction of the law does not depend upon who is being tried,

The rights which the law guarantees to each and every citizen are sacred, and if you should mislead the public as to the facts and finding of the court, the gravity of the mistake is not as to how it will effect the parties in court, but in failing to give the public an opportunity to rightfully judge as to whether or not the executors of the law are abusing the authority placed in their hands.

[LETTER TO MRS. J'lNKIIAM NO. 64,492]

DEAR MRS. I'INKIIAM— I think it is my duty to write to you expressing my sincere gratitude for the wonderful relief I have experienced by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I tried different doctors, also different kinds of medicine. I would feel better at times, then would be as bad as ever.

For eight years I was a great sufferer. I had falling of the womb and was in such misery at my monthly periods I could not work but & littie before I would have to lie down. Your medicine has made anew woman of me* I can now work all day and not get tired. I thank you for what you have done for me. 1 shall always praise your mcdicine to all suffering women." —MRS. E. E. KUHN, GKRMAXO, OHIO.

I have taken eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and used two packages of your Sana* tive Wash, also some.of the Liver Pills, and I can say that your remedies will do all that you claim for them. Before taking yotir remedies I was very bad with womb trouble, was nervous, had no ambition, could not sleep, and my food seemed to do me no good. Now I am well, and yov.r medicine has cured me. I will gladly recommend your medicine to every one wherever I go."— MRS. M. L. SHEARS, GUN MARSH, MICH.-

BETTER MAIL SOXES.

A Farmer Suggests That Old Fruit Cansand Dilapidated Soap Boxes he Discarded.

Flies His Own Flag:.

S 'f

There has a great deal been done for the farmer in the last two years, especially in the free delivery Qf mail. The farmer, who a few years ago, living in the remote part of the county, depended only on weekly news, and 'i then it was only received when he possessed great zeal'^ and determination sufficient to ride perhaps miles for it after a fatiguing day's work. He* depended to a great extent on hearsay for his immediate information. Hes was ignorant of many facts that today are invaluable to him. The price of stock or grain was given him by the purchaser, but he knew not how the markets were tending. But to-day it is quite different with a great many farmers having that encouraging feature, a daily mail, with comparatively little expense to the government. It is an incentive for a nobler and more useful life. It is an inducement to £he young to equip themselves for the ag* ricultural pursuit. It gives the farmer./, a better chance to have regular and purer periodicals in his home, and by so tloing the home becomes more faacinating, and the little country store at the cross roads not so attractively^ Farmers are surely having their share of kind legislation. We only ask thalr it shall be continued and that congress will appropriate sufficient money at its next session so that these advantages may be extended to all alike. And while we aB farmers expect so much from authoritative hands we should think of and appreciate what haB been done for us. Montgomery county farmers are favored with rural routes more than any other county in the United States, and we are proud of the communities and industrious farmers who by extended efforts are building gravel roads, preparing the way for new routes. Yet the inspectors say the farmers in thiB county do not take as many papers or receive as mueh mail as they do in some other places. Especially they say we are behind in the neatnees of mail bqxes. If the intellect of a family~iB to be fi^dgad by the appearance of the mailbox in front of their bouse, the time has fully come when some of the cast off fruit jars, coffee cans and dilapidated old wood-1 en boxes should be replaced by peat metal ones placed in a convenient location. If we cannot equal other counties in the mail matter we can show our appreciation in this one way. The American farmers deserve having their mail delivered as much as those of any other country, but we must do our part if we want it oontinued.

Indianapolis Sun: The fact has probably escaped the notice of most people that the governor of Indiana has a distinctive fiagof his own, which is carried after him when he rides forth in state. The state does not make an appropriation to buy a flag* for the governor but he gets it, just the same. The flag is made of taffeta Bilk, in Bize is about four by sis feet, and has the seal of Indiana hand painted on either side. It adorns tbe goy ernor's parlor most of the time, but, last week, was at the flower mission fair. When the'state's chief executive reviews the troops, the flag is used as a marker, to designate the governor's position.

Is looked forward to with expectations of joy1 and gladness. The ordeal of bringing the littla one into the world, however, is a critical otut for the mother-to-be, and her anticipations of the coming event are shadowed with gloom^i.^ Half the pain and all the danger of child-birthf| a scientifioii^
