The Famous "Wild People" Deserted Here By Their Managers.

"HEAR 'EH GROWL." AUNT POLLY ROLL.

One of the attractions at thelatecorn carnival was a couple of "wild people." who were exhibited in a pen on the southeast corner of Washington and Main streets. The fakirs who had them in charge did a land office business and evidently cleared up quite a load of coin. The wild people were nothing more than a couple of i.egro idiots who had been leased from their parents at Monmouth, 111., and taken about the country by the unscrupulous frauds who exhibited them as captives from the jungles of Africa. They evidently concluded that they would retire from business after the Crawfordsville fair and did not wish to be burdened by taking the poor idiots home. Accordingly on Saturday evening they took the pitiful little things to the Sherman house and asked permission of Tilly Smith, who was in charge of that place, to leave them there until the night train. The permission was granted and the men went away, leaving a small colored boy in charge of the wild ones. and went but the managers of the jungle trotters did not show up at the Sherman house. Last Sunday Tilly reported the case to the police and the idiots were taken to jail.

On Monday the step-father of the idiots forwarded money for transportation and they were sent home.

State Deputies Meeting M. W. A. Last Thursday and Friday the first annual state meeting of the deputy head consuls of Modern Woodmen of America was held here. A very interesting and instructive programme in the way of papers and discussions was carried out. The meeting was in fact a "deputies' school" for the purpose of instructing deputies how to better carry on their work of procuring new members, and for the purpose of impressing them with the idea that all must work together: that physicians, deputies, assistant-deputies and camps are closely related and must work together at all times. Many valuable suggestions as to method of developing a more mutual working system were adopted, thus making a very excellent deputy system more perfect. The close relation of deputies, physicians and camp clerks was especially emphasized. These meetings will undoubtedly be held annually hereafter, because all camps receive benefits of them indirectly through deputies and their assistant. There were present State Deputy O. F. Avery, Head Physician Dr. Will F. Green, and the following district

deputies together with many assistants: career! Laridy R. Lee, .lames Corsant, J. S. Fendley, C. O. Fife, George F. Heise, John D. Volz, W. N. Rumley, Herbert

Rees and 11. Gambill. On Thursday even tup tlie deputies and a large number of visitors from

Fell In the Sewer.

A young fellow named Cox, living east of the city, started home last Friday about .1! o'clock driving a team of horses. At the corner of Market and Water streets he drove plump into the sewer trench. One of the horses man aged to climb out. but the other became wedged in and was not extricated until i) o'clock next-, morning. Jesse Muriett, on his way home, played the I good Samaritan and helped to get the animal out. x\t 4 o'clock he was rcI warded for his pain-* by being hit in the face with a board against which the animal lunged, and .suffered a badly contused mouth, one tooth being driven clear through his cheek.

His Injuries

are very painful but not serious.

Dr. Wm. Holland Dead.

Dr. Wm. Holland d'ed Saturday at 10:30 p. m. of rheumatism and exhaustion at the home of his son-in-law. W. 1-5. Banks. Dr. Holland was eightyfour years of age, and was a pioneer physician of Indiana, being a graduate of Rush medical college. He leaves three daughters, Mrs. W. B. Banks, of this city, Mrs. Chas. Petro, of near Marvsville, Jnd., and Mrs. O. M. Petro, of Darlington, and one son, Will Holland. now of California, formerly principal of the Darlington schools

The body was shipped Sunday night to Milltown, Ind.. for burial.

A Sentinel Bon Mot.

The 1 ndianapolis Svnliml last Friday states fence wire is $4.00 a hundred higher to-day than it was four years ago Wire is now retailing here at $3.20 a hundred. According to the ScntiiHl's figures then dealers four years ago were giving people 80 cents a hundredred to carry it away. This is a fair sample of the tommyrot circulated by the paper that is given away in Crawfordsville and Montgomery county.

was celebrated at the residence of her ing out her century amid the comforts daughter, Mrs. S. C. Hayes, at 3005 Bryant avenueS, yesterday. The rooms were appropriately decorated with autumn leaves, wheat heads and ripened grain, loads of roses, asters, carnations and cosmos were brought by the guests, of whom over one hundred and fifty called to greet the venerable hostess. "Thirty-four of the 13.'.! descendants of the old lady were present, many of them coming from their homes in distant states. At noon the company was called to order and Mrs. Roll was seated in state in a new oaken chair, upholstered in pale green leather, one of her birthday presents. J. W. Gregory, of St. Joseph, Mo., the eldest son of the old lady's eldest child, addressed the assembled guests. In part Mr. Gregory said: 'Grandma Roll,kinsfolk and friends, the occasion of our coming together is an unusual one, the celebration of a centenary birthday, and to many of ns it has a deep and thrilling interest in that the central figure is our only living ancestor. Born with this wonderful nineteenth century, Mary Westfall Roll has enjoyed the privilege and distinction of extending her span of life through the full 100 years. "As far back as I can remember it was quoted in our family that 'Granny Roll,' as she called herself, intended to to live to be 100 years old. To those of us who remember the vigor and energy she displayed in her middle life, it is not surprising that she has fulfilled the promise. Often I have heard her relate that on her fiftieth birthday she 'spun her dozen cuts of yarn, set a blue dye and in the evening walked three miles to church.' That walk was over unimproved country roads in central

Twenty years ago when some of them talked of moving to Dakota, 'Granny' laid down the iaw with the bark on it. She said: 'I've been on the frontier nearly all my life and I'm not going to endure any more of it. If you young ones want to go to a new community you may, but I'm going to stay here.' She meant it at the time, but when all the children and grandchildren went to Dako-

She says that almost everything on earth that is of much value has been invented, thought out and wrought out since she was born.

1822.

Soon after Mary Westfall married John Roll, in Dark county, Ohio, in 1*22, they moved to Montgomery county. Indiana, making the trip on horseback. '•'Here, still on the frontier, among savage beasts and no less savage men,5 they reared their family, and when the»youngest was an infant in arms,, the^husband and father, at the age of 34, heard the call of Azrael to turn aside into the shadowy land. "The undaunted mother kept her children [together and reared them in the manner anc respect of the times and people, and at the same time amid all ber'duties, spared so much time and effort in visiting and caring for the sick and afllicted that the name of 'Aunt Polly Roll' is cherished in that regionjeven to the present generation, few of whom have, ever seen her. As her children grew up and married, they removed one by one—

In Memoriam.

Sarah E. Ermentrout Wilson, daughter of Daniel and Prudence Ermentrout, was born Oct. 211, 1 *.'(), passed a if O 1 0 1 9 0 0 an

her remains were interred Thursday, Oct. 1*, 11)00, at the Peterson cemetery, at the age of years, 11 months and 2.'! days. Her parents were pioneer settlers in this county in lSJU.

August 4. 1854, she was James W. Wilson, to whom were born live daughters and one son, the son and three daughters dying in infancy,

married

another daughter, Elizabeth Gray, dying at the age of 30 years. The survivors are her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Jennie M. Brown, three! grandchildren, two great-grandchil-dren, one sister and two brothers. I Mrs. Wilson joined the Presbyterian church early in life and during later years was a devoted member of Center

Presbyterian church at Crawfordsville, lnd. She was the prime mover

in the organization of the memorable

Fairview Sunday school, out of which grew the noted Kirkpatrick church, which stands as a monument for goodly influence beyond estimation in the beautiful village of Kirkpatrick.

No day was too cold, no weather too 9tormy, no night too dark to prevent her, in her health, from lending her aid to this society that she fostered and affiliated with. She was a liberal contributor to all Christian benevolent societies and to foreign missions.

To know her one must have been in- Byrd timately acqnainted with her. She

was not pretentious, not a lluent talker, nO'i a personal leader, but her power lay in strong convictions, and she carried many splendid trophies of! by

herself. Gentle, kind, firm, she had a

church and home. Her place will long be missed atKirkpatrick church,where her funeral services were conducted Thursday, Oct. IS, 1900, by Rev. A. J. Alexander, of Center Presbyterian church, Crawfordsville. Ind., assisted by A. J. Bowers, of White Church, Rev. T. C. Shanklin, of Linden. Rev. J. J. Clay pool, of Romney, Rev. Joseph Cooper, of Darlington and Rev. W. S. Bryant, of Clark's Hill. The pall bearers were: Hon. Silas Peterson, of Potato Creek: Hon. Wm. Dicks, of Kirkpatrick: John Peterson, of Dar-j lington: W. Z. McBee, of Kirkpatrick, Wm. F. Fraley, of Linden and H. Harter, of Crawfordsville.

The remains were viewed at the residence and the casket was not opened at the church. The services, conducted by Rev. A. J. Alexander, will long be remembered in the community. The sermon on the subject, "I Am the Resurection and the Life,-' was listened to with profound attention. It was an earnest, able appeal for the right way of living as the best preparation for death. He showed man's unlimited power# with the forces of nature. He can master the soil, calling forth its bountiful products picture the valley and the plain with beautiful homes: bridge the streams navigate the rivers spread the white wings of commerce over the ocean: he can chain the lightning to carry his mandates over the continents connect country to town and city to city by telephones, making all a solid community in various and mighty ways he subjugates the elements of earth and

come sinto the presence of death he is absolutely powerless, though made a little lower than the angels. When he approaches death he must rely on, "I am the Resurrection and the Life." Jesus Christ was master over both death and the grave.

Mrs. tnher

Her last illness commenced about two weeks prior to death, but she had been failing since spring. A post mortem examination revealed that the direct cause of her death was cancer of the liver and other sources of acute pains from which she had patiently and quietly suffered for years. Calmly and painlessly she passed to her reward. All that true neighbors and friends could do was done, all that medical skill could do was done, but His will mutt be dune. Such was the life of mother Wilson as she was intimately called. So instead of tears of sorrow for the Christian who dies thus, there should be but tears of joy. Thanks for the sentence: "Thou slialtdie." Thanks for the radiant star of hope, faith thanks for the gospel that points us to

all things else for that Savior who promises to guide us through the sacred trance of death to that paradisal home that knows no sorrow, no pain, no tear, no death, but peace and joy forever reign in that realm lighted with His love. H. M. Haktkk.
