Prosecutor Reeves Will Not Go After Business Men Who Kept Open on Sunday.
Prosecutor W. M. Keevcs on Wednesday stated positively and emphatically that he did not intend to prosecute the business men of Crawfordsville who have had their places open on Sunday. It is true that the names of those who have done this have been taken and are being held but prosecutions will not be made. Said Mr. Reeves to THE JOURNAL Wednesday morning: "There does not seem to be any public demand for such prosecutions, and 1 am not. as some seem to think, hunting for trouble. If the public demanded that this be an air tight Sunday town, I should, of course, go ahead and prosecute everyone guilty. But there is no such desire on the part of the people living here. On the contrary people here seem to think that it is all right for the stores to be open Sunday morning. Tf they think so it is all right with me. It is true that I have made prosecutions in other towns in the county for this oll'ense but it has been because the people of those towns, the good people mean, demanded that it- be done. In some places the stores were kept open the live long day on Sunday and were filled with noisy loafers. The stores being open interfered with church attendance and resulted in bad generally. At other places I found that merchants had been operating these little wheels where a iellow drops a nickle in the slot and is sure to get one cigar with a chance for more. These were gift enterprises and cognizance had to be taken of the fact when complaints were lodged. When this whole thing has been boiled down it will be found that no one has any kick coming."

of that city says:
"Lee S. Durham looked a born captain, aye sir, even an admiral, as he marched majestically on deck. His carriago was seamanlike and dignified, his voice clear, his singing good and his acting the best. He was Capt. Corcoran, commander of the ship. Although Mr. Durham was not assigned to this part till several days after the others had been at work he did admirably." The Carthage
say3 that Lee made such
a hit as captain that the audience simply wailed when he was reduced to the rank of common sailor.
Deluged With Applications.
J. R. Bonn ell is deluged with applications from those who wish positions under him in the revenue office at Terre Haute. The truth of the matter is that he has only a limited number of appointments to make, a large per cent of "the employes being protected by civil service rules. Mr. Bonnell receives on an average of about thirty applications a day and the tide is still swelling. Up to date only one has enclosed a stamp for reply. That one, of course, is receiving favorable consideration

WANT THE STOCK.
The Outsiders Will Not Get Much of the Wire Company's Stock.
The increased capital stock of tho wire company is being gobbled up very rapidly and the prospects now are that those not ranked in the list of old stockholders will get very little if any of the new stock. Mr. Voris already has between $15,000 and $20,000 in subscriptions from outsiders, but it is not likey that much of this will bo issued as the original stockholders are coming in rapidly. The old stockholders complained of the shortness of the time allowed them to make up their minds as to what of the new stock they wanted so the time was extended to March in and if theiv. is any stock left at that timo the outsiders will get it. Many of the old holders have doubl and others wish to take two or three times as much as they took originally.
THF SALVATION ARMY.
It Is Marching Along, But Over erably Rough l{oad.
a To I
Captain Warner, of the Salvation Army, left Tuesday for Troy, New York, and a female captain is expected here in a day or so to take his -place. Some days ago old man Dodd and his son Allison, who have been mainstays of the army, quit the ranks after a fuss with the captain and since that time have been leading the anvil chorus with their hammers. They knock on the army good and hard and are now associated, so it is said, with a socalled ''praying band" that whoops things up in the suberbs. Pete Barnhart is now in charge of the army here and he is down on the Doods. Said he: "Old man Dodd is to blame for the trouble in the army. He got to going around to these praying bands, so one evening when we were having a consecration meeting he wouldn't behave himself. He always aid like to hog the ring in services and to sing and pray more than the captain. He wanted to be the whole works and this evening he got sulky when the captain took the lead. He wouldn't kneel down with the rest but leaned back against the wall with his arms folded and sort of snorted through his whi^ers. He acted as though he had all tho piety in town cornered, but some of the rest of us were just as pious or a little more piouscr than he was I reckon. Anyhow when we got through being consecrated the old man got very gay and began to pray and take up all the time. The captain stood the racket for awhile and then he started in to sing old Dodd down. We had a pretty tough time but we finally got shut of him and he hasn't been around since. When we sat down on the old man it made Allison mighty lukewarm in tho cause and he quit marching. Allison used to be a mighty good marcher, too. He was sergeant-major and he didn't come to meeting but about once a week.
When he did come he sat around looking scornful and sassy, and there was nothing of the contrite and humble spirit about him. His loins didn't seem to be girt about with truth nor his feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. His helmet of salvation was oil' and he made a mighty fine target for the fiery darts of the wicked. Naturally the captain was sorely vexed, and one night he called Allison down. This made A1 hot and he went out storming as one whose end is destruction and whose glory is shame. Since then he has not been back and I guess none of us cares. There are sixteen in the army now and I'm looking for my commission as captain every day. When get it I'm going out on the road where the fields are white unto harvest. I think I can garner right smart of grain.''
There will be no grief among the rack and file in Crawfordsville if the army here disbands and retires. It has labored here for years and has done no good. The place is not suited to its peculiar customs and it is a grave question whether it does not do actual harm to the cause of religion in a town like Crawfordsville. In many ways it has been a positive nuisatce and certainly its use as a moral agent is much bettor served by other forces.
A Farewell Party.

WINDLESS SAILS.
An Illinois Author Who Come to the Front Too l.ate with His Book..
Chicago
Tribune:
"While the late
Maurice Thompson was weaving his romance of 'Alice of Old Yinconnes' another man, the editor of an Illinois country newspaper, was writing almost identically the same story, and writing it not fifty miles from the Indiana author's home. While Mr. Thompson had been enjoying the prestige which followed tho large sales of his novel his unconscious rival had been vainly seeking a publisher for a book whose thunder had been most effectually stolen. Tho story of tho race betweon tho two writers, neither of whom knew ihe other was 'entered,' and each of whom thought he had the tieldjiexclusively to himself, ma/ have a parallel in the dim annals of literature of the weird records of telapathy: but assuredly no newspaper man ever had a bigger 'hard luck' story to tell. "Robert Paris Harrison is the name of Mr. Thomson's luckless competitor, Danville, 111., his town, and the-JDan-ville
Evatiiuj ('mumciTinl
his newspaper.
Mr. Harrison, like other newspaper' men with ambitions, has had toKsnatch the fruit of his aspirations between frenzied scribbling of 'copy,' or in blissful hours after press time. Throe yoars ago a romance began to take shape in his mind, and rushing blindly on to his fate he chose eighteenth century Vincennes for tho scene of his story and stormy events of the revolution at the old frontier post as the priucipal theme, capping the unfortunate climax by selecting 'Post Vincennes' as the title. Throughout the three years he strove to finish the work, experiencing all tho sinkings of heart, the bursts of enthusiasm and reactions, and the rising of dogged persistence which every author knows. 'I wrote on it until September,' he told a friend, 'whon it was completed and turned over to a typewriter to copy.
About a week later appeared a large announcement of Maurice Thompson's book. My spirits naturally went down after having beon at high notch for three years.' "Only one hope remained to Mr. Harrison after this blow, and that was the possibility that 'Alice of Old Vincennes' would bear so little resemblance to his own book in plot that he might still be justified in ottering 'Post Vincennes' to a buyer. When Thompson's book appeared that hope faded. The same historic il material, most of the same military characters, a similar intermingling of war and romance, and a like use of topical data appeared in the much lauded Thompson book as in the dusty manuscript in the newspaper man's desk."

The
Tribe of Ben-llur Adds Thousand Members to Its Rolls Lnst Month.

The office of the Tribe of Ben-llur is a busy place at present and tho desks are piled high with applications for membership from all parts of the country. L''or some time past the membership has been on a woudorful boom, but last month, although tho shortest, will eclipse all previous records. From the number now in It is safe to say that the increase for February will bo considerably over 5,000, placing the membership of the order now beyond fifty thousand. This has been an increase of nearly a hundred per cent, in twelve months, and it is safe to say that the order is to-day the most healthful and sound of the beneficial fraternities,

The summons from Lebanon reached here the same day that the summons from here arrived in Lebanon. Ur. Cramer is a gallant young man and thoroughly believes that the dear ladiea should always bo allowed the precedeno* especially when there are bills to pay. Accordingly he Wednesday dismissed the suit he brought and will allow Anna to get, the decree In Lebanon.
