Lieutenant Herron Writes Interesting of Affairs In Panay. I

Capt. W. P. He iron is in receipt of several letters from his son, Lieut. Charles D. Herron, o£ the ISth U. S. Infantry. Lieut. Herron. in addition to being commandant and collector of the port of Capiz, has now been ap-' pointed by General Hughes as judge

There are no regular mails to Capiz and the soldiers there get the papers when they are several months old, but as it is all news to them they enjoy them as much as if they had them damp from the press. It is now thought that none of the regular regiments in the Philippines will be returned before 1901.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

AT CAPIZ. STORM SWEPT.

advocate of the general court, of the I ^hoi

city and his duties are in consequence the bodies lieinj

quite arduous. Lieutenant Herron states that the rebellion in the Philippines has been kept alive by the encouragement extended to the rebels by people in the United States and more recently by absurd rumors to the effect that Russia and Spain will interfere in behalf of the rebels. The American troops in Panay have been signally victorious in all their contests and have the encouragement and moral support of the natives. The several thousand rebels under arms at various points in Panay all came from Luzon before the outbreak of hostilities and are cordially hated by the people of Panay. Lieut. Herron states that when rebels are brought into Capiz they have to be kept under close guard to keep the towns people from filling them full of holes. Lieutenant Herron speaks of one company of 130 men, including several colonels, which was brought captive into Capiz shortly before he wrote. He found the rebel officers quite good company and the excellent treatment given them by the Americans both surprised and pleased them. They all had their pictures taken to present to the American officers before they were transfered to Manila for imprisonment, and one of them presented Lieut. Herron with a very beautiful dagger for a keepsake. Many of the captured rebels are very anxious to take the oath of allegiance to the United States at once and are evidently not in the war through sympathy.

tmeIeWouncil.

Several Changes Are Made By the New Officials and Several Improvements Are Contemplated For the

Good of the City.

When Mayor Elmore dropped the gavel last Monday shortly after seven o'clock the council chamber was packed with a crowd of spectators anxious to see the fun. Thompson, Hutton and Nolan, of the old council, were all absent. After the reading and adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting the reports of committees wore called for.

The resignation of William Slattery as street commissioner, was read and accepted.

At this juncture Mr. Smith said the labors of the old council were at an end and tendered his thanks to the mayor and council for past favors. Mr. Davis also extended thanks and said he never let loose of anything so gladly in his life as he did the office. Mr. Smith introduced Mr. Wert, Mr. Morgan introduced Mr. Morse, Mr. Greene and Mr. Ornbaun, Mr. Davis performed a like office for Mr. Gilkey, and a recess of a few minutes was taken.

After the intermission Mayor Elmore extended a welcome to the new members and said that he hoped the new body would be progressive and that the

rpv ., finances of the city would be adThe generous hospitality of this home

indebtedness would be wiped out and

Mr. Binford suggested that before anything else was done that the two members from the Fourth ward should decide which was to hold the long and which the short term. The city attorney accordingly prepared two strips of paper, one with "long term" on it and the other with "short term" on it Messrs. Greene and Ornbaun then drew and the latter drew the long term strip.

Mr. Naylor moved that the salaries of the different city officials be as fol lows: Mayor, $600 and fees clerk, $600 and fees marshal, $600 and fees treasurer, $500 city engineer, $600 city attorney, $500 secretary of board of health, $100 seven councilmen, $140 per annum, and one councilman, the chairman of the board of public im provements, $150.

Mr. Greene introduced a resolution electing the new city employes and in eluding in the same that at any time an employe could be discharged for cause The following is the list of the employes in the different departments and the salaries per month for the same: .Light plant—Superintendent and chief engineer, Ed Ames, $65 lineman, W. K. Somerville, $50 Newt Pearson, assistant engineer, $50: Hugh Wilson, day helper, $40 Ed Barr, night helper, $40 Wm. Scott, jr., trimmer, $55. The men who retire are Frank Abraham, Ivy Carr, Gregg Kelly and Fleur O'Neil.

Fire department—Chief, Wm. Vance, $55 Doc Griffin, driver, $50 firemen, Flute McGilliard, C. E. Krug, Bert Ramsey, J. W. Laymon, jr., and Fred Wilhite, all at $50. The men who retire are John Hurley, George Fitehey and Frank Zellers.

AVOID all drying inhalants and use that which cleanses and heals the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and cures catarrh easily and pleasantly. Coid in the head vanishes quickly. Price 50 cents at druggists or by mail.

Catarrh causod difficulty in speaking and to a great extent of hearing. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm dropping of mucus has ceased, voice and hearing have greatly improved.—J. W. Davidson, Att'y at Law, Monmouth, 111.

COUGHS and colds, down to the very borderland of consumption, yield to the soothing, healing influences of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup.

TOWN ELECTIONS.

Those llcld In Montgomery County Pretty Tame Affairs.

Arc

The town elections were held all over Indiana Monday and in this county no interest centered in them. All were quiet and in most places the town pump issue was the dividing! wedge.

AT DA LI NGTO.V.

There was a great mix at Darlington, and while the Republicans and Democrats both had tickets in the field, there was as great a breaking away from party lines as in uhe other towns. 1). Hodman and Silas Bowers, Re-j publican candidates, were chosen eoun-1 oilmen, while Democratic candidates. Dr. Florey for treasurer, Newt Booher for clerk, and Marshall Booher for marshal, were victorious. The majorities ranged between three and six. fptlsp

AT WAVKLAND.

At Waveland the Republican candidate for clerk, l'Yank Alspaugh, the Republican candidate for treasurer, H. S. Kritz, and the Republican candidate for marshal, Joseph R. Sharp, had no opposition. The citizens' ticket elected its trustees, Frank Kritz,.John Spruhan and Charles A. Milligan.

AT WAYNETOWN.

Wayne town rolled up her usual glorious Democratic majority. The only contest of the day was for trustee and Stout Xuck was elected, winning out by one vote. It is a coincidence that at the former election he was elected by the same narrow margin.

AT LADOGA.

There was no interest in the election at Ladoga, most of the officers holding over by default. The only man chosen was marshal and that honor was awarded to Sam Burke.

AT LONG VIEW.

The longview election was void of bloodshed. H. R. Tinsley, J. L. Galey and Allie Doyle were elected trustees, W. A. Swank was olected as secretary and treasurer, M. R. Buck as street commissioner. The new officers will be installed at a meeting to be held this evening.

AT WINGATE.

There was little excitement at Wingate and a mixed ticket was elected. Will Kerr was chosen trustee Alonzo Biddle, treasurer Wm. Marmaduke, clerk, and Frank Smith, marshal. Over 100 votes were polled.

IN ENGLEWOOD.

In Englowood the election Monday was conducted in regular form and the twenty-three ballots cast were all for the following ticket:

Clerk—Geo. W. Stafford, Jr. Treasurer—R. T. Bruee. Marshal—Charles Beck. Trustee for one year—Doc Enoch. Trustee for two years—L. C. Ambrose.

Trustee for two years—G. W. Warren. ... AT LINDEN.

At Linden there were two tickets in the field, People's and Citizen's. The vote was close and the majorities ranged between 2 and 8, with two exceptions where the condidatos were given the rousing majority of twenty-live. Councilmen were elected as follows: C. W. Campbell, first ward Daniel Iiarrigan, second ward Stephen Riddle, third ward. John McCorkle was elected marshal, Van Miller as treasurer, and William Morford as clerk.

Quiet Time at New i^oss.

NEW ROSS, Ind., May 8, 1900.—The town election passed off quietly yesterday. A fair vote was polled, eightyone bollots being cast. But one ballot was thrown out, it being mutilated. There were two tickets in the field, Citizens' and People's. The following is the result of the election:

Coddington,^ of the People's ticket each received 37 votes, and the decision was made by drawing straws, Coddington being successful.

A Stabbing Affray.

OnTucsday a stabbing affray occurred at Roachdale in which Frank Johnson, late of this county, was one of the principals. Mr. Johnson and his brother operate a saw mill and Tuesday a dispute occurred when Asa Payne came to draw his pay. He claimed more than Mr. Johnson held was due him, and although his demands were finally acceded to he became angry andjstruck Mr. Johnson on the head with the handle of his umbrella, felling Jhim to his knees. Mr Johnson instantly drew his knife and stabbed Payne in the kidneys. It was feared for awhile that the wound was fatal, but now it is announced that he will recover unless I complications set in.
