REFUSES THE KINGLY CROWN,

But Makes a Talk Which Shows Ho Wants It Very Much.

'Capt. D. F. Allen has written a characteristic and interesting letter to an Indianapolis friend. He denies being a candidate for congress in this district, but takes good care to repudiate his often reiterated views on expansion and to declare everything calculated to promote his candidacy before the Democratic convention which meets here July 24. His letter is as follows: "This is only a bushwhacking sort of warfare. The treacherous natives, when a force comes intc. their section, hide their guns and yell 'Mucho amigo.' I have heard the deceitful wretches, with their last breath, their bodies lying across their guns, gasp, 'Me mucho amigo.' I am garrisoning the best city in the Island of Luzon— Banam, Province of Batanzas, and to the southwest stretches the sea. We have here tropical vegetation in all of its equatorial luxuriance. Yet I would not live here among these dwarfish, impish, diseased, illiterate, ignorant, superstitious, cowardly, treacherous, bargain-counter lot of humanity for the province. As a desirable acquisition to the United States I would not give three whoops in the woods of Arkansas for the whole island. If the microbe of exaggeration is not abroad in the Island of Luzon, then put me down as a fit subject for a commission of lunacy. •'I will not, in all probability, be home before 1901, and will not be a candidate."

THE FAIR DIRECTORS.

They Empower Their Committee to Perfect Arrangements for Political Speeches During the Fair.

The directors of the county fair association met Saturday and transacted some routine business relative to the association. The most important thing done was to empower a committee to go ahead and complete arrangements with the central committees Jof the Democratic and Republican parties for political speeches to be delivered here during the fair. Both parties seem to have fallen into this idea and it is not unlikely that two days of the fair will witness the biggest political rallies in the history of the county.

The Democrats state that the congressional convention they hold here on July 24 will exhaust their claim on speakers of national note, but Chairman Neal has promised to help them out and they hope to secure Burke Cochran, provided Burke gets over his antipathy for free silver by that time.

The Republicans have the assurance that they can get any of half a dozen able speakers. Dolliver, of Iowa, has been favorably mentioned as has Senator Fairbanks.

NOT OUT FOR CONGRESS.

Frank I). Ader, of Grccncastlc, Will lie Candidate for Senator—Putnam County Claims the Honor.

An Indianapolis paper •'boosts''Frank Ader as follows. "Frank I). Ader, of (Jreencastle, a prominent Democrat of the Fifth district, who was the leading contestant against James B. Curtis, of this city, for the speakership of the Indiana house of representatives in 180."i, was in the city to-day. He has been urged to make the race for the Democratic congressional nomination in the Fifth district. 'I thank my friends for their proffered support,'said he, 'but I am not, and will not, be a candidate for the congressional nomination. I shall be a candidate for state senator, and no other position.' "The district which Mr. Ader desires to represent in the senate is composed of Putnam and Montgomery counties. He made the announcement, not heretofore published, that the convention will be held at Crawfordsville May 23. Inasmuch as a Montgomery county man—James M. Seller, of Craw-fordsville-—represented the senatorial district the last time, the Putnam county Democrats now feel they are entitled to this year's nomination. The candidates, besides Mr. Ader. ai-e William Johnston, of Crawfordsville, and David B. Hostetter, of Roachdale, Putnam county. "The Democratic paper of Crawfordsville, the jS'eim-Jierieir, said Mr. Ader, 'claims that no one in Putnam county, except the candidates, cares for the nomination, but we claim it is the unanimous demand of all the Democrats in Putnam county that the nomination be conceded to Putnam county. That fact will be made manifest by the Putnam county Democrats on the day of the convention. In order that the troubles may be settled in Putnam county, my friends have agreed that the candidate receiving the majority of the delegatiou in Putnam county shall have the entire vote of the county —a proposition, I understand, to which Mr. Hostetter has not yet agreed. I think the delegation will insist on this, and that only one candidate will be presented to the convention from the county. I shall cheerfully abide by the desire of my home delegation, but shall insist, with the united Democracy of Putnam county, that Putnamjcounty be given this nomination.'"

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.

Citizens Must Answer Questions Propounded by Census Enumerators.

The census enumerators appointed recently begin their duties the first day of June. The statute of the United States provides that if any ono refuses to answer any of the questions propounded by the census enumerator, he will be considered guilty of misdemeanor and be liable to a fine of $100. All should remember this fact, for in June many questions will be asked about yourself. Yet, on the other hand, the enumerators are not permitted to divulge anything that they learn while taking the enumeration to anyone other than Uncle Sam. What is your name? How old are you? Are you married? Where were you born? What is .your business? Are you a naturalized citizen, an alien or an American? Can you read and write? Do you own a home? These area ".few of1the questions that will have to be answered about every man, woman and child next June, for it is then when 50,000 enumerators must work one month in taking the 12th census of the United States.

Thanks Extended.

At the session of Camp (J, P. O. S. of A., last week a vote of thanks was extended to every person who in any way whatsoever aided the camp to got enough coupons to secure the piano. The ladies of the Christian church were also thanked for the beautiful cover they presented to the camp. The members of the camp hope that in the contest for coupons nothing was done or said that wjll sever the ties of friendship for the future, but that peace, harmony and good will may p.lwavs prevail. _________

TO INVESTIGATE FIRES.

Stale Auditor Hart Wauls That Purpose.

a Law I or

If State Auditor W. H. Hart has his way the next, stale legislature will pass a law that will make compulsory an investigation of every tire, wheather great or small. Such a law was passed recently by the Ohio legislature and at a banquet given by the tire insurance agents of Indianapolis, Mr. Hart advocated the passage of a similar law by our legislature in a speech in which he said: "I am in favor of a fire-marshal law being enacted by the next Indiana legislature. First, to probe into and to ascertain the cause of every tire occurring in the state, and to prosecute any and all criminals connected therewith to the limit of the law. Second, to compel the removal of all combustible materials, rookeries, ramshakles and rubbish. Third, to keep a complete indexed record of every fire, its cause, the particulars developed Iti the investigation. the previous record of the occupants or owners of the premises where the fire occurred, from an inspection of which landlords, insurance companies and the public generally may obtain valuable information regarding applicants for insurance or credit."

TO FORFEIT FRANCHISE.

The Gas Company is Sued By the City and a Lively Time Is Ahead for the Octopus.

Last Saturday in the Montgomery circuit court the city attorney filed a suitentited, "The State ex rol. the City of Crawfordsville vs. The Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company."' The sii't is one brought to forfeit the franchise of the natural gas company in Crawfordsville because it has boen so tlagrantly remiss in its duty.

The complaint sets up that on June 15. 1891, the council of Crawfordsville granted to the defendant tho privilege of operating its gas plant here on condition that it furnish gas in sutlicient quantities. This condition was accepted by the defendant and since that time it has been enjoying all the privileges extended to it by the franchise. It is set up, however, that tho defendant has failed utterly to comply with the conditions of its franchise, and has not furnished gas in sufficient quantities to heat the homes and business places of Crawfordsville, "wherefore plaintilT prays that the defendant be adjudged to have forfeited its franchise and all rights thereunder in the streets and alleys of said city and that it be ousted therefrom."

Crane & Anderson represent tho defendant, and they were asked last Saturday what would be done, there having boen a rumor current that the gas company would withdraw from the city and not attempt to do business here. In response to the inquiry Mr. Anderson replied: "Certainly the case will be contested and what is more the city will lose."

A SOCIAL SESSION.

The First Anniversary of the Installation of the Elks' Lodge Fittingly Celebrated.

The first anniversary of the installation of the Crawfordsville Elks' lodge was fittingly observed last Thursday in tho rooms of the order. Over 200 guests wore present and the social session proved a most enjoyable affair, quite unique in its ordering to most of those who were there. George S. Harney presided during tho evening in a most acceptable manner and upon the assemblage of the guests of the evening he made a neat little address extending the hospitality of the order. D.W. Gerard and Judge West followed with remarks equally felicitous. A musical programme was rendered, Misses Dice and Kline and Messrs. Scott, Dorsoy, and Byron Hughes participating. Refreshments were served and there was no lack of merriment as Mr. Harney imposed fines for all manner of omissions and commissions. One of tho principal amusements of the evening was dancing and this was indulged in until quite a late hour.

Beware of a Coush.

A cough is not a disease but a symptom. Consumption and bronchitis, which are the most dangerous and fatal diseases, have for their first indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven wonderfully successful, and gained its wide reputation and extensive sale by its success in curing the diseases which cause cough1 ing. If it is nut beneficial it wiil not, cost you a cent. For salo by Nye &

PA RT SECOND

TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN.

Gen. allacr Conveys the Bljicherne Apartment Mouse to Mis (irarulHotis.

Indianapolis i'liw: Gen. Lew Wallace to-day made a munificent present to his two grandchildren in the shape of the Blaeherue apartment house, at the northwest corner of Vermont and Meridian streets, and the lot immediately north of it. The gift was conveyed by means of two transfers. (Jen. Wallace first transferred the building and grounds to an old friond, Benjamin Crane, and, with tho filing of these papers, a second transfer was recorded from Benjamin Crane to Susan R. Wallace and Henry L. Wallace. Henry L. Wallaco is the son of Gen. Wallace, and the gift is made by tho General to Henry L. Wallace's children.

The transfer is accompanied by the further stipulation that tho grandchildren are to be entitled to the building hereafter to be erected by Gen. Wallace on the lot north of the Blaeherue. Tho lot has a frontage of eighty-two and one-half feet on Meridian street. The entire frontage of the grounds conveyed to-day is 1424- feet, and the depth 202 feet. It is announced that (Jen. Wallaco will erect for his graudchil•drew just north of the Blachorne another building of the same height and general appearance as the Blacherne, which will be used as a fashionable apartment house under the same management as the present building-

The new building will notihe undertaken for some time. The reason, as stated, is that (Jen. Wallace does not havo on hand the ready money necessary to construct the building, and is not inclined to believe the profits of the investment would warrant borrowing the money. The cost of construetion of such a building linishod as tho *r-$f Blaeherue would bo very large.

The construction of the Blachorne began in 181 4, and the cost was met out of the proceeds of (Jen. Wallace's "Ben-Hur." It is stated that the future profits of the Blacherne will lie drawn upon to add interior finishings and decorations, and that when completed the apartments will be of almost palatial character.
