DURING

our fifteen years'

residence in this city has always been to assist in ele

vating the standard of musical taste in the community, and with the assistance of our many friends and customers we have been the cause of a great many musicians being developed and brought out for their own profit and the improvement of the church and Sunday school. Every home should be a conservatory of music, for nothing more fully develops the better instincts in a child's nature than music. An eminent writer once said that "the foundation of a good musician is a good piano and a capable teacher." These you '•an obtain right here at home as reasonable as anywhere in the world.

At the close of the old year and the old century, I desire to thank those that have so valiantly stood by me, both for their patronage and for their friendship, and I pledge myself that 1 will endeavor in the future, as I have in the past, to give my customers the very best value in pianos and organs for the price paid. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 1901. I remain.

Very truly yours,

Fragments Picked Up About the City That May Interest Our Readers.

Said a prominent grocer Monday: "The Crawfordsville match factory is making as good or better matches than any others handled in this town and it is gratifying to note that most of our customers call for the home match. This is partially because of home pride and partially because the ma'tch its a fine one. Still there arc exceptions. 1 know one fellow who spends a £ood deal of time yawping about the damage trusts.do who goes right on buying the trust match, thus contributing his mite to help it along. I asked him a few days ago why he didn't buy the home match and he said the other was good enough and he was used to it. This man has several houses to rent in the east part of town and would like to see plenty of factories here. Still he won't buy a home product that is just as cheap and just as good as any trust made article." j5 -. j, ..:'...

In some countries the weddings of the year are all arranged with a view to their celebration on .Ianuary 1, and by a curious contradiction, in Siam and some mountain districts in Tndia, the year's funerals are also celebrated on the first day of the succeeding year. Temporary interments take place a day or two after death, but on the first day of the following January the remains of those who died during the year are borne to their last resting place, the funeral feasts are celebrated at the same time with the weddings, and in the most literal manner the funeral baked meats do coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

Most of us can remember when New Year's day was the social day of the whole three hundred and sixty-five. Scores of people kept open house and fed callers with a lavish hospitality not evidenced at the ordinary function of to-day. It was verily a day of social activity in Crawfordsville and now no one does it reverence. There wasn't a single reception in Crawfordsville society this year and there hasn't been for several years. The last) New Year's function recalled was that leap year reception given in 1892 by about twenty young men of the town.

"1 had a laughable experience the other night," said a young business man Monday. ''1 have no stove in my room where I have been staying, and I told my landlady that I guessed I would have to move as my room was too cold for comfort. Well, the next nitrht was colder than ever and I got in late and hurriedly disrobing 1 jumped into bed. I immediately jumped out and alighted in about the middle of the room, my hair standing on end. My landlady had taken a hot water bottle and placed it in my bed about an hour before I got home and when my cold feet struck it 1 thought I was it. I didn't know what kind of a varmint it was, but when the truth dawned on me I laughed until 1 was sore. I guess I'll stay now and be good.

Most of the men in town are glad for one good reason, that the old custom of New Year's day receptions is dead. They wouldn't have any clothes appropriate to the occasion. So rare are morning and afternoon functions here that not one man in fifty is possessed of the clothes approvediforsuch occasions. Since dress suits became the custom here the average man ties to this alone as his "party clothes." He seldom has any occasion for the use of anything else for there isn't a daylight function for men once a year in Crawfordsville.

His best business suit does service on Sunday and at it.formal gatherings, and conventional clothes, other than his dress suit, are unknown. Time was when a man to in be it,had to have a fine Prince Albert or cutaway made every few months, but now he uses his dress suit as long as the rags will hold together. The dress suit is the most economical and money saving invest ment he ever made and the average man has to chuckle every time he thinks of it.

"Rudyard Kipling's works have about lost their popularity with Crawfordsville's reading people, if they ever had an\\'' said Miss Beck, the librarian at the city library. ''There is a long row of his books that nobody seems to want, and it is very seldom that we have a call for one of them. On the other

hand, the latter day historical romanti-

cal novels are very popular and we can't keep any of them in the library for any length of time. It is astonishing how many books some people can read, and there are so many young peo pie that do not have library cards and read from two to three books a week."

The book is in a splendid state of.preservation and some of the definitions of words read very odd these days. Mr. Krout also has a sword picked up on one of the battlefields of the war of 1 SI2. and a tomahawk that was used in the same war by the Indians, and a number of other ancient relics sufficient to stock a good sized museum.

Bill Providing for Them to be Introduced In Legislature.

A bill of more than ordinary importance will be that introduced at the coming session of the legislature by senator W. W. Lambert, representing Bartholomew and Decatur counties. The measure requires the state to furnish all the books used by the pupils in the public schools. Under the provisions of the proposed measure the township trustees are to furnish the necessary books to the teachers in their respect-

The previous census reports were1S!)0, 141.13(5 1880,102,780 1870, 81,93!): I860, 4!),355:1850, 25.103: 1840, 10,080 1830,7,192. There have been no territorial changes in the counties of Indiana since 1890.

Of the ninety-two counties in the state all but fifteen have increased in population during the decade, the counties ehowing the largest percentage of increase being Madison, !3.1 per cent: Grant. 73.7 per cent. Delaware. 04. per cent Blackford, 04.5 per cenn Lake, 5*.i per cent., and Starse, 42.1 per cent. The counties showing a de crease in population for the decade are Boone, Brown. Carroll. Crawford,Dearborn, Franklin. Hendricks, Jefferson.

ive townships, who in turn will distrib-, Nothing else to do but beiier ute them to the pupils, and at the end of the school term the books are to revert to the trustees, to be held as the state's property. In this connection Senator Lambert is quoted as saying: "The theory of our public educational system is that the state shall pay the entire cost, and it does so with the exception of paying for the text-books. It is a very serious burden on poor people to pay the expenses incurred in a change of text-books, such as frequently occurs, or even to purchase books at all, and it often results in worthy children being kept out of school. There will be a provision in the bill that pupils who are financially able and want to buy text-books to study during vacation time may get them from the trustee at contract prices."

The complete and revised census figures for Indiana were mu.de public last week,in the form of a voluminous bulletin. Most of the ground covered has been gone over by piecemeal as the work progressed. The total land surface for the state, as given, is M,!J]i) square miles. The average number of persons to the square mile is 70.1. In 1890 it was Hi.1.

I tried different remedies but 1 seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain'9 Cough Remedy and 'l found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at once. I am now entirely recovered, saved a doctor's bill, time and suffering, and I never will be without this splendid medicine again." For sale bv Nye & Booe.

The fact is, southern California is just recovering from an epidemic of Belgian hare. There was a swell hotel on every street corner marked "liabbitry." Between corners there was the more plebeian "Belgian Hairs for Sail!'' Everybody had Belgian hares. When you found a hair in the soup the waiter assured you it was a Belgian hare and that made it all right. Not everybody could afford genuine Belgian hares in his soup—they were costly. I know, for I once paid 75 cents for a plate of Belgian hare and found out afterward that it was jack rabbit from the Mojave desert.

As I remarked before, everybody here, from the mayor down to the cross-eyed blind man who begs for a living on Third street, owned Belgian hares. A man bought a pair of Belgian hare? and immediately began looking around for a good place to invest the 8300,000 which he had figured

So don't you get taken in, dear folks I'm not "joshing" you. Southern California has tried the aristocratic hare and found him wanting. Take your old shot gun as of yore and go forth and knock the fuzz off a cottontail—a good old fashioned Indiana cottontail, and you'll have my word for it that, though plebeian and unassuming, he will furnish you abetter meal than the blue blooded hares that are all pedigree, expense, care and vexation of spirit.

This Belgian hare excitement is all boom: and we of California have learned by bitter experience to avoid booms as we would a pestilence.
