The Marriage of Maximilian.

Rockville Tribune: Nearly 200 guests witnessed the pretty home wedding of Miss Madge Ott and Max Puett at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Ott, yesterday evening at 8 o'clock.

The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march played by Miss Kathie Strouse. Rev. J. C. Christie, wearing his clerical robes, preceded the maid of honor, Miss Reba Berry the bridegroom followed with Will Hayes, of Sullivan, as best man, and the bride came in on the arm of her brother, W. C. Ott, who gave her away. The ceremony by Mr. Christie, that of the Presbyterian church, was pronounced beneath a beautiful wreath of smilax, hyacinths and carnations.

The bride wore white organdie, and carried bride's roses. Miss Berry also wore white organdie.

Mr. and Mrs. Puett will live with his parents,Mr. and Mrs. S.D. Puett. They enter the matrimonial state under the most favorable circumstances imaginable. and the date of its beginning—the first day of the new century—was happily chosen.

CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY JANUARY 4, 1901-TWELVE PAGES

"RIGHT AWAY OFF."

Governor Mount Will Return to His Country Home as Soon as Possible.

Special to The Jourmil.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., .Ian. Gov. Mount stated to-day with a great deal of satisfaction that on the Thursday after the inauguration of Col. Durbin as his successor, he would return to his farm near Crawfordsville. He is highly pleased at the prospect of relief from the arduous duties of his office.

THE BRICK FACTORY.

The Shale Here Admirably Adapted to the Manufacture of Vitrified Brick.

Fred Hoffman, who is financially interested in the proposed brick factory, told a little inside history of the enterprise yesterday. About three years ago he became acquainted with Mr. Irwin G. Posten by being the architect of his handsome residence on east Wabash avenue. He suggested to him that Crawfordsville would be a fine place to manufacture vitrified brick, ,on account of the excellent quality of shale here. Mr. Posten consented to make tests of the shale and Mr. Hoffman sent a few sacks of it to Veedersburg. The test was only partially successful because the shale had been ground too fine. But Mr. Posten was so interested that he asked for a car load of the shale. The second test was a complete success and about 800 of the very finest brick resulted. These were sold to the city of Crawfordsville and may now be seen in two of the crossings at the Methodist church corner, and in the gutter in front of Dr. Keegan's office. They have stood the wear of nearly three years without losing a bit of their surface, and are considered really superior to those made of the

Veedersburg shale. Mr. Posten was ready to start a factory at Crawfordsville on the strength of these tests, but business complications delayed it until recently, when he was again urged to locate here by Mr. Hoffman. The shale here, says Mr. Hoffman, is proven to be superior to any in either Indiana or Illinois, and equal to the famous Canton, Ohio, product. It lies along Sugar Creek in inexhaustible quantities. For miles up and down this stream wherever bluffs are found the shale will be found. It is a natural resource which is likely to prove of wonderful value to Crawfordsville in the future.

A Wall From Jasper.

A chap named Milburn, residing at Jasper, writes for an Indianapolis paper a sort of a review of Indiana authors and takes the following drag at Miss Krout: 'Miss Caroline Krout, of Crawfords ville, has just published a spirited story entitled "Knights in Fustian,' based on the operations the Knights of the Golden Circle during the civil war, the scene of which is laid largely near French Lick, Ind., where Col Bowles, one of their principal leaders and one of the main characters of the book, is buried. The book is not con sidered fair to the Democrats by many persons, and is by some considered of a partisan nature. For instance, I heard a person say who had just read the book that all the Republican characters in the book spoke the purest English, that the war Democrats did not make so many mistakes, but that all the copperheads used the broadest Hoosier brogue."

ASoclal Event.

Tne "Garfield New Year's Social Club" met at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen B. Smith to partake of their annual New Year's dinner, which consisted of some of the choicest viands for whichithe "country women" are especially noted. Those present were the following gentlemen and their families: George Francis, Elmer Pickerel, Alfred Morrison, Frank Morrison, Geo. Enoch, Hiram Foust, Joe Shaver, and Miss Glen Pickerel, Uncle Asa Pickerel, Carl Morrison, and Mrs. Clella Loback, of Darlington. Choice music was rendered by Mrs. Elmer Pickerel, assisted by Mrs. Lide Morrison. Mrs. Joe Shaver, Mrs. Loback and Miss Floy Smith. All went away happy and well filled, declaring Mr. and Mrs Smith delightful entertainers. The club decided to meet at Mr. Frank Morrison's one year hence. A GUEST.

CASE AGAINST DOUGLAS.

A Preliminary Hearing Set for This Morning—May Be Continued.

Mayor Elmore has set. this morning at o'clock as the hour for a preliminary hearing in the case of Joo Douglas, charged with assault with intent to commit murder. Witnesses for the defense and state were summoned yesterday afiornoon, but it is in no wise a sure thing that they will testify to-day. It is generally thought that the state will ask a continuance, owing to the condition of Charles Doyle. Doyle is steadily losing ground and practically no hope is entertained of his recovery. Ho is weak and suffers greatly. He believes that he will

Parrish continues to improve, and his features are now in such a condi tion that it can be seen that the charge of shot struck on the right side of his face, indicating that he was passing the window going west and was not looking in when shot. He has begun to appreciate the fact that he is blind and laments in a pitiful manner. He prays that at least one eye be spared him.

Won the Prize.

Frank M. Heaton, late of this city but now of Washington, won a hand some cash prize offered by the Phila^ delphia Press for the best guess on the Presidential election. In a letter to the Press Mr. Heaton says: "My forecasts regarding the results in several of the disputed states, more especially in Indiana and Nebraska, were founded upon facts secured during a trip through those states in July and August last. From frequent interviews had with the commercial men, traveling in all parts of the west, I was firmly convinced that the outcome would be the triumphant re-election of President McKinley. "In Nebraska I found that great numbers of the voters had changed their political views 6ince the campaign of 1896, and they not only announced their intention to vote the right way, but were working enthusiastically for the success of the whole Republican ticket—President, governor and legislature. Then again, the D.mocrats did not like Bryan's bossism at Kansas City and elsewhere, such action on his part being resented by the rank and file of the party, and in some instances by the leaders. "Bryan's visits to Indianapolis and Topeka, to be notified of his nomination by the Democrats and Populists, were not relished by his friends in Lincoln, who insisted that he should have remained at home, among hisown people, and thus have attracted to the capital of Nebrtska the crowds which visited the favored cities. It was predicted at that time that this action by the nominee and the national committe would lose the Democrats thousands of votes, and the prophecy came true. "As to Indiana, that state was dead set for McKinley from the beginning, as was plainly shown by the emphatic result on the day of election. My forecast in that state was based upon carefully taken polls and upon statements from conservative county chairmen."

Iteconsiderod-

A Topeka man lost a small opal Fet out of his ring and went to the jeweler to have it replaced. Returning home he found the lost set and, putting it in his mouth for safe keeping, hurried back to the jeweler's to have that set used instead of the new opal. Rushing into the store he said: "Say, I've found the old set, so don't use that new one." He attempted to remove the stone from his mouth, gave a gulp, looked sheep ish, and said: "I guess you'll have to use the new stone

That man needed a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Sold by Nye & Booe, druggists.

Frank Howard Insane.

The following concerning Frank Howard, who is well known here and who was prosecuting attorney of this circuit when Montgomery and Parke counties were together, is taken from tho Rockville 1'ribune:

It is with profound regret that the Tribune announces that the protracted illness of Frank M. Howard has resulted in a stage of insanity which necessitated his confinement in the hospital for the insane at Indianapolis. For several weeks it has been feared that his brilliant mind had given way to the ravages of disease: but it was only last Thursday that his wife and mother realized the mental derangement was such that only treatment at the state institution could cure. Mr. Howard himself was at times aware of this, and it is a hopeful sign that he voluntarily went with his attendants to the asylum. The sympathy of a host of friends is extended to Mr. Howard's family, and especially is this true of r.hose who have known him from boyhood, and who have so often in the past enjoyed 'hie cheerful companionship.
