FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

That Is the Sum the Big Four Will Spend Filling the Trestle West of Town.

The Golden Role.

THE BARGAIN STORE THE BARGAIN STORE

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

It is now a settled fact that the Big Four trestle just west of town is to be filled this summer and the work will be one of no mean proportions. George Markley has already made his requisition for the stone and other material necessary for the work, and in a few days a gang of men will begin adjusting braces at the trestle and otherwise pre paring for the work. At the roadway near the west end of the trestle a fifty foot stone arch will be built. This will be the most costly and complete peice of masonry in the county and alone will cost twenty-five thousand dollars. It will be of necessity very massive and its approaches will be of the best quality of work. The filling of the big valley will cost at least twenty-five thousand dollars or more, so the whole work will aggregate fifty thousand dollars or more. A large force of men will be employed on the improvement and will spend most of the spring and summer here.

He Was Evicted.

The case of Joseph Trask vs. Arthur Clark, which was on trial in 'Squire Buck's court last Monday and Tuesday came to a close on Tuesday afternoon and resulted in a glorious victory for the plaintilT. It appears that Mr. Trask owns a farm and having concluded to move on the same had the house newly papered and repaired ready for his occupancy. The other day he got ready to move in when he discovered that one Arthur Clark with his family had moved in the house and strenuously refused to give possession. Trask accordingly brought suit and twenty-five witnesses were summoned to appear in the suit. Clark claimed that he had rented the farm and gave tho terms, etc., but the court sustained the plaintiff and ordered Mr. Clark to move. Clark was defended by Fred

Canine and Ttask by Jones & Reeves.

The animal is hairless except on his head and tail. It has a topknot of hair that is white and soft as wool and its body is perfectly hairless with a skin resembling leather. Frank McCalip pronounces it a genuine South African hairless dog, but how it got in this part of the country is a mystery.

Jennie Vanarsdall was born in this city July 15. 1855, and was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Vanarsdall. Her father died in 1894, and her only sister a short time before that, her mother being the only surviving member of. the family. She was married to Wallace Linder April 2'.), 1880. and to this union was born one son, William, who, with his father, survives. Mrs. Linder had been a member of the Methodist church for over twenty-live years, and her life was characterized by a daily living up to the standards of Christianity. She was an affectionate and loving wife and mother and her husband and son have the sympathy of all in their afiliction.

Mrs. Linder was a member of the Twentieth Century club, Tribe of BenHur, Art Needle Work league aud the W. It. C. She had always been prominent in works of charity and her life was full of good deeds that will now reap the reward of the good servant-

Death of a Pioneer.

Again death has entered our doors and taken from us our aged grandpa, Benjamin Foust, he being one of the oldest settlers in this state. Ho had been ill for some time but bore his sufferings as they came without relief from a single physician. Grandpa was the youngest of a family of five children and was married to Anna Francis in 1834, to which union was born five children of which three survive him, Joseph, Abraham and Mrs. Catharine Green. Rebecca, who died in her infancy, and Phoete Jane, her twin, wife of A. P. Enoch, died in 1888. Grandpa's parents came from Pennsylvania to Ohio where he was born in Pickaway county, April 4th, 1812.

He came to Indiana in 1836 and settled in 1837, where he found death lurking for him. He was christened in the Presbyterian church in early infancy, of which church his parents were members. He died at the age of 88 years, 11 months and (S days, at his home near Smartsburg, March 10, 3001, leaving three children, seventeen grandchildren, fitteen greatgrandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn his death, Funeral services were held at the Christian church, Rev. Plunkett officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Crawfordsville.

A GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER.

The Maxwell Divorce Case. The Maxwell divorce case came up Wednesday in the circuit court before Judge West, quite a number of witnesses and spectators being present. Mary Aikman Maxwell was the plaintiff and Scott Maxwell the defendant. Both are young and were married foolishly something over a year ago. A child was born to them last fall and lived only a short time. Then the husband and wife separated, she suing for a divorce on the ground of cruelty.- Mrs. Maxwell testified Wednesday that her husband had frequently cursed her and on one occasion had gone so far as to choke her. He swore at members of her family and had the habit of kicking the furniture and throwing his shoes at the wall before going to bed. He was away from home a great deal and worked but little. When Mrs. Aikman nam 3d their sickly baby Harold Theodore, the young man expressed great disgust, and profanely ventured the assertion that she might as well give it the name of a well known Biblical character.: Mrs. Maxwell's bonnie vouner brother was designated by a name that wouldn't look well in print.

Their Golden Wedding.

A Rockville special says: "Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Daniels have celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They settled here in 18(51. Mr. Daniels is a bridge builder, and nearly all of the wooden bridges in this and adjoining counties testify to his skill and thoroughness. Some of these bridges are forty years old and still as good as ever. Recently he completed a bridge over Big Raccoon creek on tho Montgomery ani Putnam line. He is seventy-live years old, and his wife is live years his junior. Their second son, Edward Daniels, wag recently appointed masterin chancery, succeeding the late W. Fishback, at Indianapolis."

MR. J. W. PATTERSON, night police at Nashua, la., says: "In January I had a very bad cold on my lungs, and used half dozen different cough medicines and prescriptions from two doctors, but grew worse all the time. I finally bought a bottle of Foley's Honov and Tar and after using two-thirds of it. I wa^ entirely cured." For sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

WILL RETURN.

James Ourbln, as a Soldier, Will Return

III'

to the Orient Once More.

David Durbin, of Mace, is in receipt of the following letter from his son, James, who recently returned to California from a soldiering experience in China and tho Philippines, and who is now preparing to go back once more to tho Orient:

KANI LH ISLAMN, San Francisco, Calif., March 2, 1901—DKAU FATHER— I just received your letter of February 21th, and was glad to hear from yon. You spoke about tho victuals I get in the army. Wo are getting all that could be asked for except pie, cake and honey. We do not get anything like that but they give us oranges two times a week. But if they would leave me anywhere in the United States I could live tine for I can buy anything I want. I get pie when 1 want it and 1 am living easy now. Wo do not have to drill now but we have to do guard and fatigue duty. You spoke of it as snowing where you are. Some of the boys went in swimming here yesterday in the bay. This is a nice climate here, it is never cold. There is a nice sea breeze blowing all the time, and the air is pure, but it is different in Manila where it is so foggy and hot. It will bo more healthy there in time if they ever get the land ditched. They make the natives bury their dead as we do. They have got dead bodies of the natives buried all over tho land in vaults, and if they would make them take them up and bury them it would be more healthy. The trouble over there is a man can't buy what ho wants to eat. I send you home $00 to keep for mo. Use it, however, if you wish to, for father if you need it, it is free to you. Anything to make our home happy and to bring us closer in union of spirits, for we cant take money with us when we leave this world, and we have got to work together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Anything to make happiness is better than money.

Dear father, if it wero not for you and mother being old I would advise you to come to California to live, but as you are old would not advise you for you could not stand much excitement. This climate is lovely. The grass is green the year around, the birds sing sweetly, and oranges are plenty and everything is lovely. A man who could not live here is not much. But still, father, my heart goes back to my schoolmates and to Mace, where I used to roam over the hills. Write and tell me if Sam Hipes lives where he did or not. This is a great fruit country.

Answer this letter and tell me if you get it. Tho boys are having all kinds of trouble in this company. I have never been under arrest yet. 1 have some money loaned out in this company. I loaned one fellow live dollars on a watch and he deserted, so I then sold it to another fellow for five dollars. The reason I don't like to soldier here is because I am guard over prisoners. There was one fellow in this company put under arrest to-day for stealing a hundred dollar ring. They thought he was all right before this.
