TEMPER TESTER.

No "Wonder Some Crawfordsville People are Annoyed.

Very lil-ile rest night after night. Very little comfort day after tiny. The constant itching (if piles or'eczeina. Any itchiness of the skin is a temper tester. Dean's Ointment is a never-failing cure. Is endorsed b\- Craw fordsville citizens for all itching skin disease.

Mi'. William Enoch, of 903 east Market street, says: "I had itching hemorrhoids for nearly twenty years. I tried everything 1 ever heard of, and while some remedies relieved me for a day or so. the etl'cct was never lasting. I first read an advertisement about Doan's Ointment. 1 said to myself I will give it a trial. went to Molt'ctt ec Morgan's drug store, got a box and much to my surprise the first application drove away all the itchiness, and that night 1 got'the first real good night's sleep I had for a long time. I was in a very short, time completely cured.''

Doan's Ointfu-jut is a specific for all itching skin diseases, piles, eczema, chilblains, dialing, any irritation and all itchiness of the skin. Gives instant relief. We mail a free sample box on application. Address FosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

SELLS OUT.

The Crawfordsville Oil Company Gobbler Up by the Standard Oil Company.

1

A couple of years ago Fr^tl M. Gregg established here the Crawfordsville oil company and began to do a big oil business here and in the adjoining towns, his business completely eclipsing that of the Standard oil company which had a clear field until he came in. The Standard tried all sorts of dodges to break tip the competition, but in vain, and the business. of the uew company grew until it amounted to over $1,500 a month. Meantime Mr. Gregg entered two or three other enterprises, so that when a few days ago he was asked by the Standard oil company to set a price on liis oil business he did so, making the figures good and large. His offer was accepted and the sale was completed Tuesday, the Standard getting the whole plant of the local company, even down to the currycombs and pitch forks. Mr. Gregg is feeling pretty good.

Death of Mrs. Ambrose Remley. Mrs. Ambrose Remley passed away in peace at 1) o'clock on the evening of Dec. 10, 1900, at her home, TOO south Water streot, this city. Minerva Evans Shelby was born_at. Shelby Grove, Tippecanoe county, Tnd., on Dec. 20, 1844. Had she lived but fifteen days longer—until Christmas day—she would have been fifty-six years of age. As it was her release came sooner, and her exact age was r5 years, 11 months and ]." days. She was married to Ambrose Remley on June G, 18ti7, at Kansas City, Mo. This happy union was blessed"wTth four children, Isaac Francis died when he was but sixteen months old, Fred now occupies the homestead farm near Wesley, Ind.. Harry resides near Hoopeston, 111., and Sallie yet remains in the sorrowing home. Mrs. Remley was the daughter of Isaac and Jane Shelby, of Tippecanoe county, Indiana, and was one of five children, Mrs. Sallie Slavens lives in Kansas City, Missouri, David is residing in Lafayette, John is still at Shelby Grove, Ind., while Moses is in far Oklahoma. James died some years ago. Mrs. Remley was a noble, kind and generous woman. She was faithful as a wife, good as a mother, obliging as a neighbor, and beautiful in her Christian character. In her girlhood days she joined the Methodist church, and after marriage she united with the Center Presbyterian church in Crawfordsville. She possessed a gentle nature and was devoted in her life-time to her Redeemer as strength would permit. She died as she lived, in the triumph of a true Christian faith. The funeral was held at the family residence on Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. By request of the deceased the services were conducted by Rev. T. D. Fyffe and assisted by Rev. A. J. Alexander. The interment was at Oak Hill.

Hural Free Delivery a Fixture. The postmaster-general in his annual report says: "With all the results clearly indicated by the experiments as thus far tried,rural free delivery is plainly here to stay. It cannot be abandoned where it has been established, and it cannot be maintained'without being extended. It is a service in which there can be no backward step. Those who enjoy Its advantages will not consent to surrender them, and every new route creates a demaud from contiguous territory for the same privileges. We are thus'confronted with the problem of gradually extending the delivery service over the whole area of the country where it is1 physically feasible or where the popu lation is not so spare as to make it unreasonable. A project of such comprehensive and colossal character may ^eem formidable and deterrent, but while its dillicult-ies are not to be under estimated, they are shown, when examined in the light of practical tests, to be far from insurmountable.-'

He's a Nice Old Man.

Wednesday morning in the mayor's court the case against George Smith,for cutting his father-in-law with a knife was taken up. Frank Bagb.v, the fatherin law, was on hand and when Smitb pleaded guilty to the assault the old gentleman stepped forward and planked down the $15 35 necessary to sooth the rullled dignity of the majestic law. He said that he knew Smith'did not know what he was about yesterday and thought that the lesson would be sufficient to prevent a repetition of the oll'ense. As for Smith he looked like a tolerably tame rabbit in search of a hole.. He had no recollection of the trouble and swore that he would never run amuck any more.

SMALLPOX AND DIPHTHERIA.

There Seems to Be Plenty of Each Disease In Indiana.

The vital statistics for the month of November have all been received and tabulated at the office of the state board of health. The total number of deaths for the month is shown to be -.854, as against 2,510 for November of last year. As this is the second year of the collection of the vital statistics of the state, those in charge of the work of collecting the statistics say it is now possible to make intelligent comparison of certain of the more prevalent diseases.

It is shown that in November of last ear diuhtheria was the cause of 111 deaths: in November this year the same disease caused the death of 172 persons. Jr. will be recalled that the! state health authorities have been predicting an increase in deaths from diphtheria, owing to a lack of proper precautions on the part of school teachers and parents.

With the approach of colder weather the number of cases of smallpox in the state are increasing. "Unless I am b.idly mistaken,'1 said Dr. .!. N. Hurty, .siate health olli :er, "there are at- this time no less than 200 cases of smallpox in Indiana Besides these there are many case-, I :-uppose, of which we have no knowledge. I am speaking only of the cases that have been reported to us."

Dr. Hurty says the disease is prevalent to the greatest degree in Allen and Jennings counties. Ohio health authorities have become alarmed over I the disease in Allen county, owing to 'the proximity of that county to the

Ohio-Indiana state line. They have written to Dr. Hurty, asking him to issue strict orders to the Alien county health authorities.

In Jennings county the health officers have been handicapped in fighting the disease owing to lack of funds. They have advised the state boa^d of hpalth, however, that they are now lighting the disease in a systematic manner, and it is thought the spread will not be great. I Wheat Is Damaged.

Wheat in all parts of Indiana is already showing the presence of the fly, but the number of them in the grain cannotibe determined until later in the season. The recent wet, warm weather has done much to give the stalks a good start and it is hoped that with a sturdy growth early in the season, the flies wiil not succeed in damaging the crop as much as they did last year.

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT

Of the G. A. R. Will Probably Be Taken Away From Denver.

At the last national encampment of the G. A. R., Indiana veterans were disappointed by the encampment voting to hold the next meeting at Denver, so far away from this state that but few of the old soldiers would be able to attend. The western railroads are about to be the cause of the change of this feeling of regret to one of gladness. At the Chicago encampment last summer it was voted to accept the proposition of Denver, provided that city would make good its promise of a railroad rate of one cent a mile. The Denver people have been trying their best to secure this rate, but have not succeeded in getting the western roads together. Commander-in-Chief Hassieur privately informed the arrangement committee ten days ago that it must secure the concession by December 10, or the encampment would go elsewhere. Since the expiration of the ultimatum of the Commander-in-Chief the Denver people have made no progress and the executive committee, when it meets Monday, probably will order the encampment held in some cuv .'itrther east.

He was a few years ago a rica man but his law suits have stripped him of his prope ty.
