One of the Pioneers of the County Passed Away Last Monday.

Matilda West dlodMonday night at the home of her daughter, Letitia Lee, on east Main street. Matilda West was

one of the oldest inhabitants of the county, being at the time of her death nearly 97 years of age. She was the daughter of John and Letitia Mills Wilson, and was born in Ohio, near Troy, June 4, 1803. She was married to Jeremiah West May 3, 1820, and they lived together until 1858, when her husband died and she remained a widow up to the time of her death,

April 30, 1900. There was born to Jeremiah and Matilda West four sons,

John W., Benjamin F., Thomas J., and Joseph H., and one daughter, Letitia M., now Letitia Lee, widow of John Lee. Of these Thomas J. West and Lettitia Lee alone survive.

Jeremiah and Matilda West came to Montgomery county from Ohio in 1826, and settled in Walnut township near the place where the town of Mace is now situated. The cabin they built was among the first built in that township. They lived on the farm until 1850, when they moved to Crawfordsville, and Mrs. West has ever since resided in this city.

Mrs. West, while young, became a member of the Old School Baptist church and continued to be a member of that church up to the time of her death. She lived and died a true Christian. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Oliphant at the home of Mrs. Lee on east Main street, Wednesday at half past one. Interment at Lee's cemetery, near Smartsburg.

Mrs. West was one of the most estimable and highly respected women of the county. In her busy and|useful life she came in contact with thousands of the people cf this community, and to all of them her memory will be a very pleasant one.

She took a dose of morphine to relieve her suffering when ill and the dose proved fatal. Mr. Clark came to Crawfordsville and entered business with Mr. Wicks, of the firm of Wicks fc Benjamin. He was married while here to an Anderson young lady and she came here as a bride, the couple residing on west Wabash avenue. Mrs. Clark's friends in this city will be pained to learn of her death.

Six Cars Loaded With Merchandise In the Ditch Near Troutman'a.

At half past 4 o'clock Tuesday morning there was quite a costly little freight wreck on the Big Four a short distance west of the bridge over Sugar Creek. A truck on one of the cars of the west bound train broke about a hundred yards this side of the Sugar Creek bridge and an awful wreck would undoubtedly have occurred on that structure but for the guard rail in use there. As it was the train ran on some distance past the bridge and was on a small culvert near Boraker's pond when the pile up took place. Five cars loaded with merchandise and one loaded with pig iron were mixed up, but none of the train crew was hurt. The bridge gang from this city was at once sum* moned and the track was clear in time for the morning trains.

OPEN ONE HOUR.

The Polls at the Republican Township Primaries Next Saturday.

The Republican candidates for trustee of Union township have agreed on the length of time the polls shall be open at the primary to be held on Saturday to elect delegates. It has been decided to hold the polls open one hour in each precinct, and there is no doubt that the several boards will be kept busy. The polls will be open at half past one o'clock.

The fight for this nomination is very pretty one and really more interest centers in it than in the county convention. The candidates are all out hustling as are their friends, and it is likely that a phenomenally large vote will be polled.

THE HOSPITAL

An Address to the People of Montgomery County, Prepared By the Committee Appointed at the Mass

Meeting, April 9th.

To THE PEOPLE OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY: The advantages of a county hospital cannot be over-estimated, and that such an institution is an actual necessity is known to every thinking man and woman in the county.

The hospital association has been formed, and '•The Union Hospital" incorporated under the laws of the state. It now remains for the genei'ous people of the county to give of their means according to their ability, to establish the hospital and put it in operation. There is no benevolent work that is more worthy the earnest support of our people than this. The proposed hospital will be of such character and proportions that anyone may be admitted for treatment, paying therefor according to his. or her, ability besides, per sons who are not able to pay will be admitted without charge.

While there will be a physician and a surgeon constantly on duty, any patient shall have the privilege of choosing any physician or surgeon he -prefers.

It has been estimated that enough money goes out of our county annually (to pay for treatment of sick and injured persons in regularly established hospitals) to pay the running expenses of a hospital of our own. The necessity I for trained nurses in our Icounty is ap-, parent to everyone. It is proposed to establish at once, on the completion of I the hospital, a school for nurses. I Young ladies from all parts of the county will be admitted as pupils, on proper recommendations, and educated and graduated as "trained nurses."! They will be expected to give their services to the hospital in consideration of their training until they graduate, after which they will receive their own earnings. Thus, in time, our county can be supplied with competent trained nurses, saving our people the great expense of bringing nurses from Indianapolis and other cities to attend them in sickness at their homes. It is estimated that $10,000 willflbe-'reqtiired to establish the hospital on the plan and scope necessary to meet the demands of such an institution for our county.

Under the by-laws of^the association, the payment of $2 annually secures a membership in the association, and the payment of $100 secures a life membership. Other counties have established hospitals by the generous donations of their people, and what others have done, Montgomery countyjcan do.

We earnestly request the good people and the benevolent societies of the county to interest themselves in the work at once and donate illiberally for the building of the hospital, and also become members of the association, thus having a voice in ithe selection of the board of managers and in other matters connected with| the business affairs of the hospital. Every man and woman in the county should take interest in this work and give it earnest

support. LEW WALLACE, ALBERT D. THOMAS, CHAS. M. TRAVIS,

MRS. D. C. SMITH, Committee. A Grocery Change. '/1

E. M. Brewer has sold his east College street grocery to A. J. Drake, of Mt. Carmel, 111., andthe-new proprietor has taken possession. Mr. Drake Is a married man with a family »of five children and will move to this city next week. Walter Brewer and Charley Stevens will stay with the new proprietor and Mr. Brewer asks^his customers to extend their trade to his successor. Mr. Brewer desires that all persons having accounts unpaid him call and settle as soon as possible and he will remain at the store for about thirty days for this purpose. Mr. Brewer has no plans for the future liut will look for some opening in this city.

A Sad Case.

On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Cyru Weaver, living north of the city, attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a dose of morphine. Dr. Hutchings was summoned and the life of the uufortunate woman was saved. She had been ill for along time and became a victim of melancholia. S

A LITTLE life may be sacrificed to a sudden attack of croup, if you don't have Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil on hand for the emergency.

Presn:

Miss Mary H.

Krout, formerly of Crawfordsville, who for two years has traveled in China, Japan, the Philippines and Hawaii, has cause to complain at the officials of the city of Honolulu of the Hawaiian Islands.

Miss Krout has been fined for lecturing without a license. This, too, in spite of the fact that sho was one of the leading advocates of annexation. In her own defense Miss Krout says that her lectures wore given at a private house, and that only a small portion of her audiences paid for admission.

She protested against paying the fine to no avail, and declares that sho was subjected to many insults from the government officials. In answer to a letter asking fur information as to whether she would be made to pay for delivering a few lectures to private persons she received the following reply: "Marshal's Office, Honolulu, II. I., April 2, 1900.—Miss Mary H. Krout, Honolulu, H. I.—Dear Madam: I have been instructed to acknowledge receipt of your favor of March 29, and in reply would say that we do not know any one in this matter but yourself, and would respectfully request that you attend to same at once to save any trouble in the courts. I remain, yours very respectfully, "J. BATCHELOR,
