Petition In Bankruptcy.

Wednesday at IndianapoliSiDavid L. Lee filed a petition in bankruptcy, and on that evening his Washington street grocery store was closed pending action by the referee. Mr. Lee's liabilities are about $9,500, and his assets about S3,500. His heaviest creditor is his wife, who loaned him money some years ago derived from the sale of real estate. TMs claim is for over $2,000. Shanklin, of Frankfort, wholesale grocer, has a claim of 8950, and the Citizens1 bank a claim of $400. The other claims are for smaller amounts. Mr. Lee has been in the grocery businessjiere for forty years, and his many friends will regret to see him retire as he is obliged to do. His financial troubles began some years ago when he backed the contractor who constructed the T. H. & L. railroad, losing about $20,000 by so doing.

Called Down.

Wednesday at the meeting of Company M, Captain Harney called out on the green carpet the young men who started the report Wednesday to the effect that the members were ordered to muster to oust the gypsies. The culprits acknowledged their guilt and pleaded that it had all been done for a joke. They were severely reprimanded and it is not likely that the offense will be repeated soon.

Two Excellent Young People United In the Bonds of Matrimony.

On Wednesday at the home of the grandfather of the groom, Rev. G. W. Stafford, occurred the marriage of Odis Alexander Stafford and Miss Lula Lstelie Dice. The ceremony occurred at half past five p. m., only a few relatives being present. The bride was gowned in a becoming costume of steel grey landsdown and presented a most engaging picture. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple proceeded to the homo of the bride's parents, Mr.'and Mrs. William Dice, where they were tendered a reception from six to nine o'clock. Over fifty relatives and friends were present and the honors for the bride and groom were done by Wheat Bratton and Miss Clara Perry. A sumptuous wedding supper was served, "music" for the occasion being rendered by a large crowd of merry boys from the neighborhood who assembled and proceeded to make night hideous until served with refreshments upon the conclusion of the feast. The occasion proved a most happy one. Thursday a family dinner was served at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Stafford, the collation being a most elaborate one.

The bride and groom are very excellent and worthy young people, enjoying the esteem of all who know them, and they begin their life together under the most auspicious circumstancee. For the present they will reside with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Stafford.

David Grady Turned Loose. The clerk of the court has been notified by Supt. Edenharter, of the central insane hospital, that David Grady, who was sent there from here, was improved and would be turned loose. The sheriff must go over and get him within three days. Grady is the old soldier who became violent and attempted to cut the heart out of Ike Young some months ago.

IS TAKEN IT LIST

Aguinaldo Has Been Captured By Gen. Frederick Fuston.

The province of Isabella, where the capture of Aguinaldo occurred, is on the Island of Luzon, 200 miles northeast of Manila and about 75 miles north of Baler, on the eastern coast, •which place was made memorable by the capture of Lieutenant Gllir.ore and his parly from the gunboat Yorktown in April 1S00. Isabella province is wild and mountainous, especially along the coast, where the high range known as the Grand Cordellinas Oriente extends for 100 miles or more from north to south, the highest point ef the range being but a few miles from the shore. Rugged trails in some places but a foot or two in width, lead across the mountains, frequently crossed by rushing streams, and where these overflow their banks the trails are waist deep in mud. It was to this uninviting district that General Funston and his small band went. It was a part of the Island that had never been visited by American troops.

Bought All the Stock.

M. M. Nusbaum, of Cincinnati, has purchased the entire stock of goods from Bettman Bros. & Co., and the store will at once be refilled with an entire new stock of up-to-date clothing, hats and furnishings. On account of the well earned reputation the store enjoys for doing business, the name will not be changed, but will continue to be known as the American Cloth iers. The new goods have already begun to arrive and are being placed on the tables and shelves. Mr. Manheim will continue as manager for the new firm.

His Deputies.

F. G. Mclntire, assessor of Union township has appointed the following deputies to assist him in his work, which begins next week. These deputies are: Salina Mclntire, Samuel L. Fraley, J. M. Mitchell, Y. P. Hall, W. S. Brick, J. G. McGauhey and Jas. Thomas.'

Deadlock Broken.

Special to The Journal

JTo I fte Edit&r of The Journal.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 25, LIIOL. —In a recent issue of your paper, in speaking of the Wood medical bill which has now become a law, you make the following statement: "As Dr. Gott, the president of the state board, lives here, it is likely that Crawfordsvillo will see 'some prosecutions. There aro several Christian scientists, magnetic healers and faith cure fakirs operating here, and tho Wood bill puts them all under the ban."

Now, in the first place, Christian scientists object ao having Christian science classed alc-iig with mesmerism, hypnotism, or magnetic healicg, or&'?^. form, mode or method of healing which is directly opposed to the Christian scientific methods of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Christian science is the science of the Christ-healing, and derives its power and authority from the scriptures and has no alliance with other systems of therapeutics.

In the second place, Christian scientists are not amenable to the law above mentioned. They do not pretend to a knowledge of drugs or diseases do not diagnose or manipulate, and lay no claims whatever to an understanding of surgery or materia medica.

Tho healing, wonderful in its results, is the natural outcome or result of their spiritual understanding of God and His sacred scriptures and the scientific application of His eternal laws of lifo and health to the eradication of sin and disease. The means, modes, methods and results of Christian science are finally, completely and absolutely Christian, and are under the protection and direction of the Almighty.

The Holy Bible is the law given, and the taw, the judge and arbiter, the doctor and medicine, and the guide to eternal life and health of the Christian scientist.

Fraternally,

A Corker.

One of the most popular attractions that visits our city is the famous Brothers Bryne new "liight Bells" which will be seen at Music Hall Thursday night April 4. This successful acrobatic pantomimic comedy never grows old as each season so ma^j

changes are made, new pantomimic tricks and features introduced that tho annual visitor to "Eight Bells''is always surprised at the host of new novelties. This season there is no deviation from this rule as tho comedy has been entirely rewritten, new characters introduced, new pantomimic tricks, inventcd andjequipped with new scenery and effects. Of course tho laughable horse and carriage and tho wonderful revolving ship, are still retained as these two effects are hard to duplicate. The company is by far the best tho Byrnes have ever carried and for the first time in three years the entire Byrne family are all playing their original parts. John F., Andrew, .T,lines and Helene positively appoar at ev try per formance, together with the famous John F. Byrne troupe of acrobats, six in number who are now presenting one of tho greatest acrobatic acts ever seen. Everyone who has seen "Eight Bells" will want to see it again VXu^u'Vty'h'.' have never seen itshontynot miss this opportunity.

The Cause.

The Muncie Times, speaking of the death of Will H. Patterson, say•*: "Tho cause of the suicide is probably despondency on account of over indulgence in liquor. It is said that the home life of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson was happy. Patterson was well liked by those who knew him, his worst traits" being tuosu that injured himself."

With Curses and Revlllngs the »y Gypsy Band Shakes Off the Mud of Crawfordsvllle.

Wednesday afternoon the leaders of the gypsy array visited.lMayor Elmore, after the incarceration of two of their women for insulting Mrs. Smith, and with tearsand lamentations promised to got out of the county as rapidly as possiblo provided the prisoners were released. It was finally decided that this would bo the best plan of ridding the county of tho pest so at 5 o'clook tho whole band was gathered on the court house corner, ready for inarching. The two women wore then brought up from tho jail and woro greeted by their friends and relatives with shouts of joy. The filthy old hoydens scrambled into the waiting wagons and when safely landed there stood up and with clenched fists and flashing eyes they faced the big crowd of on-lookera and proceeded to deliver themselves of n,

.'oliey of curses and anathemas in their native tongue. While the wording could not bo understood by the audience there was no mistaking the import of the speeches. Tho old cats had it In for the town good and strong and they probably regretted that tho crowd could not understand their choice How of language.

When they had closed speaking the wagons started, the whole mangy lot of gypsies spitting and gesticulating like so many enraged monkeys. They camped Wednesday night near Fullon's place on Black Creek aud evidently bohaved themselves as no complaints have yet been lodged from the people of that neighborhood.
