BILL RAUB DEAD.
A Noted Local Character Suddenly Passes To the Great Beyond.
Bill Raub, self styled "Black Hawk," (lied very suddenly at half past twelve Wednesday, tie was ablo to bo about Tuesday in bis usual health and there are several versions as to the cause of his sudden demise. Some state that he died of heart disease and others that his death was-caused by an overdose of morphine. He died at his home on Spring street.
Bill Raub was one of the best known colored men in Crawfordsville and was a man of some considerable ability. He was a skillful trader ana at one time owned several pieces of property here. His estate is still something' better than merely solvent probally, although dissipation worked against him during the last few years of his life. Bill has been a resident of Crawfordsville for many years and was born in Kentucky, where he served as a slave. He boasted that he had brought $2,200 at a sale. Bill for many years operated the famous north Green street "Temperance Hotel," so called from what it was not rather than what it really was. He lodged in this rambling old frame building sometimes as high as thirty people, negroes and Italians, and the fellow in hard luck always received accommodations at Bill's place He was a rough and noisy character, but withal kindhearted and willing to befriend the unfortunate. He leaves a wife but no children.

prettiest society weddings ever solemnized in Bloomington was at the College avenue M. E church this morning at. ten o'clock, at which time Miss Harriette Arwine Smith and Robert A. Spratt were married.

Dimmitt, the pastor, before a large number of friends and relatives. Robert Box, of Chicago, presided at the organ, and before and after the ceremony executed both Lohengrin's and Mendelssohn's wedding marches. At 10 o'clock the bridal party of Miss Smith, her mother Mrs. Laura Smith, Mr. Spratt and the attendants, Misses Mary Pearson, of Indianapolis, Clyde Lowder, Gertrude TTarbinson and Blanche Pedigo, of this city, preceded the bride to the altar.

Kept Him In Suspense.
Wednesday, ftom Frankfort, a cable message was started on its way to Captain Allen in the Philippines, informing him that according to the official count Landis was elected. Quite a few of us were dead sure of that fact before the result of the official count was mado public and it eems that Captain Allen was unnecessarily kept in suspense. Some suggested that not until Wednesday could any of his followers pluck up I enough courage to notify him, at ome one else suggested that not until Wednesday could they pluck up enough money to pay for the cable, x-

Prosecutor Reeves lias Berlin to iet Action On all the Saloon Keepers.
Prosecutor Reeves has liled personal affidavits against, all the saloon keepers of Crawfordsville, charging them with having sold liquor on election day, the bars having been opened after the polls closed. lie luis also liled charges of gambling against several. It is said that all the saloon keepers of the county will be yanked up within a few days and made to disgorge. Several of those arrested pleaded guilty Wednesday and went their way vowing vengeance against the prosecutor. Mr. Reeves says that all the saloon keepers spotted him in the election and resorted to the most questionable means to encompass his defeat. The saloon keepers deny this and declare that they were nearly all of them supporters of Reeves.
Prosecutor Reeves was feeling line yesterday as he sat in the may r's court and contemplated the goodly pile of affidavits against saloon keeper* lor violation of the liquor laws.
Said he: "I can'tsee where anybody has a kick coming on what I am doing.
I shant prosecute anybody who obeys the law but I can tell you one thing and that is that so long as I -am prosecutor those fellows who disobey the law will be punished. If they don't want, me to get after them let them be good. I shall prosecute lawlessness of ail kinds so people might as well look out. There are now about sixty cases filed against, saloon keepers and there are some more good cards up my sleeve."

The Internal Revenue Office. Speaking of the contests for federal patronage the Indianapolis
A'nra
says:
"The warmest time is promised in the Terrc Haute internal revenue district, where D. W. Henry is asking for a reappointment. Of course, there will be alight about the postofliceand other places, but the real trouble will be over the revenue ollice. Nick Pilbeck, the head of the anti-Henry faction, is determined that Henry shall not be reappointed, and Henry's friends, who are in control of the county machinery, say that he must have the ollice again. Henry is an appointee of Senator Pairbanks, while Senator Beveridge is backing .John Bonnell, of Crawfordsville, for the place. Bonnell is considered oik! of the best politicians in the county of Montgomery, but he lost some of his prestige by trying to boost Congressman Landis into the race for governor and by his support of John L. Griffiths."
