A CURB ON GENIUS.

A Ripley Township School Teacher Assumes to Act as Critic of James B. Elmore.

James B. Elmore, poet, novelist and philosopher, was a caller at THE JOURNAL office the other day and reported that he had been hard at work for some time on his new novel. The forthcoming work will have to deal with a soldier and his true lady love. "This story will be a hummer," remarked Mr. Elmore with his characteristic modesty and geniality, "and the best of it is that it is founded on facts. Of course, I allow my imagination U) cavort a little in the tropical' fields of Cuba and the splendors of Terre Haute, where the heroine lives, but in the main it is going to be straight goods. There is a young school teacher down there at Alamo and I have let him look my manuscript over with a view to looking after the spelling a little, but he cracks himself up as a critic and wants to cut out some of my best stuff. You see I have used Bessie the

Belle of Alamo to get my description of the heroine from and this young teacher is mighty sweet on Bessie. He hasn't got there yet I guess, but he's getting there and as her future lord he thinks he must run everything. He would whack out some of my rarest thoughts and most beautiful imagery if I'd let him, but I ain't going to let him. For instance, I have this Terre Haute girl write to her sweetheart in Cuba a love letter all in poetry. He wanted to out that out. Yes, he really did, strange as it may seem. That letter is hot stuff and I defy any man to produce anything as fine. There's a great plot in the story and when the troops pass through Terre Haute the heroine, who works in a factory there, rushes out and sees her sweetheart for the first time and gets stuck on him then and there. The captain of the hero sees the heroine and he is badly mashed and makes a crack or two but she looks at him haughtily and disdainfully and says 'S-I-R!' through her teeth, her eyes flashing fire. This squelches him, but when they get to

Cuba he writes her a letter telling her to give her fellow the go-by and to write to him. She replies to him in poetry thanking him sweetly, -but declining the honor She closes her letter by saying 'Give, oh give me back my soldier boy.' "I "nave her write him a letter asking about the canteen and he describes it in his next. He says it is a big tent where the soldiers come like the thirsty bovines and drink all they can hold at so much per head. But in his postscript he allays her fears and calms her troubled breast by writing 'But never fear my love for I never go against it.' "That school teacher wanted to cut that out and also my description of the Cuban octoroons, who are very beautiful and enticing in their milky whiteness but who never lure our hero beciuse he is so stuck on that Terre Haute girl. Some of his guileless companions are lured into the jungle and whacked with a machete but he comes marching home to his true love on the banks of the Wabash. There's one mighty pretty thing about their marriage and it's the truth. She was a for'ty gallon Baptist and he was a Catholic and wanted the priest to wed them at their nuptials. She wanted the forty gallon Baptist preacher to say the ceremony. It looked like a lovers'quarrell for awhile but the problem was finally solved very happily by agreeing on a Presbyterian preacher as being a cross between a Catholic and a deep water Baptist. That school "teacher wanted to cut that out, too."

MIGHTY QUEER.

Harry Caplinger Is Touched for Over Thirty Dollars Last Monday.

Shortly after noon last Monday Harry Caplinger, of New Market, aud G.

V.1.

Mile* entered Gus Ivarle's saloon to engage in a game ot pool. There were only three or four loafers about the place and enly the table Caplinger and Miles played on was in use. During the game Caplinger had occasion to take out his purse to pay for a couple of glasset- of ginger ale and before he had time to put the purse back in his pocket the word was out that it was his turn to shoot. He carelessly dropped the purse on the pool table that was not in use and leaned over to make his shot. He pocketed the ball and then surprised himself by a series of good shots, his run of luck so elating him that he forgot until the end of the game that he had left his poeketbook lyi ng on the other table. Recollecting it he went to get it and found to his dismay that it had mysteriously disappeared. Everyone present vigorously denied having taken it and Caplinger proceeded to make an awful roar. The purse had contained $32.26 and he did not feel like saying goodbye to this sum without adequate recompense. He did not feel that he had had proper action for his money and he therefore wanted it back. No one had left the room during the game, so naturally no one was free from suspicion. Accordingly it was deemed to bo the polite and gentlemanly thing to have everybody searched, a proposal which all acceded to with a cheerful and profane alacrity. The search was made carefully of each person present and each gentleman was exonerated. Mr. Caplinger was still minus his thirty-two twenty-six, however, and continued in an unhappy frame of mind. He finally went to the police and complained.

Marshal Brothers made an investigation of the affair, but so far has been unable to locate the coin.

Death of'Squire Clark.

Thursday, March 14, at Elwood occurred the death of 'Squire Clark, aged 77 years. The body was brought here for burial, arriving on the Big Four last Saturday afternoon. It was taken at once to the Thomas West cemetery for interment.

Mr. Clark was raised four miles north of Crawfordsville and was a brother of Milton, Alvin, and Edwin Clark of this city, and Perry Clark, of Terre Haute. His one sister was Mrs. Jacob W. Hutton, who died some years ago. Mr Clark leaves a wife and three children, Hiram and 'Sqire Clark and Mrs. Geneve Tinette, all of 101 wood. The deceased went to Elwood to reside about ten years ago and had never recovered from a stroke of paralysis received shortly before his removal. He was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him.

A Scared Neighborhood.

Dr. Barcus reports that the neighborhood of Darlington, where the case of smallpox was developed on Saturday, is greatly stirred up and that some of the people are badly scared. The sick man, Mr. Hutchinson, of Missouri, was taken last Tuesday but not until Friday was his case diagnosed as smallpox, the attendant physician notifying Dr. Barcus that evening of his suspicions. Dr. Barcus states that the neighborhood is quarantined and that he vaccinated people by the score on Saturday. Many were exposed but it is hoped that the only case will be that of Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Hutchinson thinks he contracted the disease from a stranger on the train. The stranger's face was inflamed and he kept himself muflled up. He acted so suspiciously that Mr. Hutchinson finally left him and went to another part of the car.

Death of Jack Kelley.

Jack K-elley, aged sixty-three years, died at his home on Simpson street late Saturday afternoon after an extended illness. —The funeral took place last Monday at ten o'clock at St. Bernard's Catholic church, Rev. Father Dinnen officiating. The interment took place at Calvary cemetery.

Mr. Kelley had long been a resident of Crawfordsville and bad many warm friends. He served during the war in Company K, 80th Indiana regiment. He leaves a wife and three sons, Walter, Arthur and Frank.

The G. A. R. attended the funeral services last Monday in a body, Mr. Kelley having been a member of McPherson Post.

A Surprise.

Joe Kennedy closed his school last Friday at the Soap Factory and at noon the patrons came in upon him as a surprise, bringing with them a bounteous dinner. The occasion proved a very delightful one and Mr. Kennedy greatly appreciated the handsome testimonial of the esteem in which he is held.

Last Saturday a couple of young men made frantic efforts to secure a marriage license at the clerk's office for one of them. They ran up against a brick wall, however, when they stated that the prospective bride was only fifteen. When tho license was refused the groom eloct nearly fainted. He rallied soon and insisted loudly but vainly that the license should bo granted by all means as her mother, Mis' Maxwell says it's all O. K."

Swindlers Fleecing Farmers Along the Rural Routes of the State.

People living along the free delivery rural routes of Indiana will do well to keep their guns loaded for agents ana swindlers who are directing their energies against them at present. PostofBce Inspector Fletcher was in the city last week and stated that complaints are reaching him constantly from people who have been gulled by these sharks. He had just received a letter from Thorntown complaining of some rascal who had made collections for mail boxes by representinghimself as a government agent. It seems that the same game is being worked elsewhere as the Terro Haute Exjire,i* last Friday says: "A large number of residents living outside tho city limits in Highland Place and along the rural mail -routes have been swindled of .10 cents each by an alleged mail box representative. One of the men swindled stated yesterday that the man came to his -houso a few weeks ago and represented that the government had ordered mail boxes erected at all houses where rural mail is delivered. The cost ofjtho box was •10 cents, cash down. Tho money was paid on a promise that the box would be put up in a few days. No jsight of the man or a box has boen seen since, it is estimated that the swindler secured from $300 to $500 in the [vicinity of Terre.Haute."

SMALLPOX.

A Well Defined Case Near nrllngton Many Were Exposed to the Disease.

County health officer Paul .). Marcus, was called to Darlington last Saturday by Dr. Dunnington of that place to investigate a case of what was supposed to be smallpox. A telephone message to TH]•'. JOURNAL Saturday stated that the diagnosis of Dr. Dunnington was correct and that a case of smallpox has at last appeared in the county. The sick man is named Hutchinson and he came to this county about two weeks ago to visit the family of George Potts, four miles east of Darlington. Mr. Potts lives on what is known as the C'oltrain farm and has a family. Hutchinson owns a farm in the same neighborhood and it is said came hero with tho intention of making it his residonco. his family to follow later. He undoubtedly contracted the disease enroutc and the case is said to be a bad one. The grave feature of the affair is that not only woro the members of Mr. Potts' family exposed but a number of neighbors as well, all coming and going freely in the early stages of the visitor's illness. Of course the Potts placo has boen carefully quarantined and all who are known to have been exposed will likewise be placed under temporary restraint. Every precaution will be taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
