Chronic Diseases a Specialty..,

you a sufferer from weak or diseased eyes? Is your eight impaired oi failing? Do your eyes smart, burn or itch when readiner or doing any near work? Are you troubled with inflamed or granulated lids? Such conditions are caused by errors of refraction. Don't be deluded by the idea that nature will cure this, or that it will soon pass away. Delays and excuses avail nothing. The disease grows while you hesitate.

PROPERLY FITTED.

Permanently correct such conditions without operations or the use of prisms, which

are always dangerous. A large per cent, of all so-called diseases of the nervous system are caused by excessive strain upon the nerves of the eye, which, being intimately connected with all parts of the body by the sympathetic nerves, may cause diseased conditions to exist, and such ills as headache, constipation, piles, indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous debility and prostration, female weakness, painful and protracted menstruation, or even fits or insanity be the natural consequence. I REMOVE THE CAUSE by correcting these errors, and absolutely guarantee to give satisfaction in every case undertaken.

THE ASSESSOR BIG POW-WGW.

With Book and Pencil He Began His Rounds Last Monday, and It's Not Fair to Try and

Dodge Htm.

Last Monday the township assessors started out upon their annual tour of inspection. They met on that day with County Assessor Billingsley to receive their final instructions and get their blanks.

The appraisement this year will be confined to personal property and the owner will be permitted to fix his own value upon it—provided his ideas of values meets the approval of the assessor. The assessment includes poll tax and the assessor must secure the age of every male member of the family. The instructions to the assessors, in the main, are as follows: "Be very careful about putting down your figures and if the party making the list puts down the figures, insist upon them doing as you are instructed to do. If you cannot by reasonable persuasion get any one to make a list, you are authorized by the law to make a list from the best information you can get and sign for them. It is your duty to get a list of all personal property for as large an amount as reason will permit, not put an exorbitant price upon any article. You are supposed to be able to judge such matters. The law says you mu9t list at a true cash value. In the city ask for money on hand or on deposit within or without the state on which they might be liable for taxation, money loaned, whether with or without security. Ask how many rooms they have furnished. Ask for pianos, organs, sewing machines, etc. You will often be told that a piano or organ is rented. If so, get the name of the dealer, and we can ascertain its correctness. Ask about bicycles, sleighs, horses, cows, etc. and do not forget to ask for dogs. There is more trouble over dogs than any other item on the list. Dogs less than three months old are not taxable

A Birthday Dinner.

Friday, at his home on the corner of Grant avenue and Pike street, John H, Shue celebrated his 80th birthday, a dinner being given in honor of the event. About forty guests were present and the day was passed in a very enjoyable manner. Mr. Shue was born March 29, 1821, in Onondaga county, New York, and came to this county with his parents in 1836. When seventeen years old he became a clerk in the store of John Garvey, in the first building erected on the corner of Market and Washington streets. In 1856 he bought the interest of John Robinson in the dry goods business, but was burned out in 1866. In 1875, after having lived on the farm several years, he entered the grocery business in the old Union bloek and continued there until a short time ago, when he sold his interest and concluded to take a well earned rest. Mr. Shue was married to his present wife in this county in I860, she being a Miss Cynthia A. Vaughn, and-one child, a daughter, Miss Anna, was born to them. Mr. and Mrs. Shue have been among the staunchest members of the Baptist church in this city and have made a large circle of friends who wish them much happiness in their old age.

The Assessors Begin.

The township assessors were all in the city Monday getting their supplies. The work will begin promptly 'tnd will be pushed through with all haste. County Assessor Billingsley on Tuesday instructed the township assessors to list Belgian hares. There are several hundred of these animals in the county and if they are assessed at the value their owners place on them the duplicate will be swelled almost to the point of "busting."

CRAWEORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY Arlll'L 1901—TWELVE PAGES PART SKCONI)

The Red Men are Preparing For a Big Time In This City Next August.

The local cump of the Red Men had a meeting last week to arrange to entertain delegates from the tribes at Frankfort, Darlington. Advance, Lebanon, Jamestown, Greencastle, Covington, Waynetown and Mellott, who met in this city on Wednesday and organized the Wabash Valley Pow wow Association. Tho original association founded in this district several years ago grew until it got clear out of the district and fiually became a sort of a street fair, and it will be the aim of tho new association to be incorporated and confine the annual pow wows to this district and to make them pleasant affairs for the Red Men and their families. At the meeting on Wednesday a date was fixed for a big powwow to be held in this city in August. The affair will be given at the fair grounds and» will be in the nature of a big picnic, at which there will be athletic contests, Indian games and other interesting events. The programme has not yet been arranged in full, but it will contain features that will attract a large crowd and make them enjoy themselves.

MUST PAY CASH FOR DOGS.

Assessors to Enforce Law and Dog Taxes Must Be Paid on the Spot.

When the assessors began work Monday they began a diligent search for dogs, as well as for other property, and they propose to enforce the law, which says that the owners of dogs shall pay the assessor for them on the spot. The law upon the question reads as follows: "And such person as assessed shall pay immediately to the township assessor the sum of one dollar for each male dog, and the sum of two dollars for each additional male dog, and the sum of three dollars for each female dog.''

The assessor is required to give a re ceipt for such money paid to him. and report to the auditor. The law pro vides that anyone who keeps or harbors a dog on which the tax is not paid shall be fined not less than $5 nor'moro than $20. The assessor also is to keep a record of all dogs upon which tax are not paid, ar.d report the same to the trustee, who reports to^the prosecutor, whose duty it shall be to bring an action against such person, who, upon conviction, may be fined.

tis A Return of Luck.

"Lucky" Baldwin's old time luck which appeared to have deserted him a few years ago. is again asserting itself and the famous California gold hunter and horse fancier is again on the high road to fortune. A special from San Francisco says:

It looks as though 'Lucky' Baldwin's prophesy that his investment in the Nome gold fields would bring him return of his old luck is about to come true. Gold has been uncovered on a claim adjoining his in the Anvil Creek district, and there ia every reason to believe that the course of the vein will extend into Baldwin's property. Meanwhile the old luck is asserting itself in another source, for prospectors are said to have struck oil on Santa Anita ranch, Baldwin's famous horse ranch. Reports from the south say that indications point to the presence of an oil belt of about a mile in length extending over the old ranch where famous horses of Baldwin's string once gamboled, and so it seems Baldwin's proverbial luck has come home to roost."

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW

A CASE OF EXTRAVAGANCE.

Means Just What It Says Respecting the Wages Paid Country School enchers.

Tho publication of the new school law by which teachers in the country schools are paid no less than two and a half times their general average at their last examination has caused some queries as to what that means. It means just what it says, if a teacher for instance, gets a general average of eighty per cent, tho wages paid must be two and one-half times eighty per cent, per day, or $2 per day. The averages are seventy-five to eighty licenses for six months—this is the lowest, lower than that gets 110 license eightyfive per cent, gets a license for twelve months, ninety per cent, gets a license for twenty-four months, and ninety-livo per cent, gets a license for thirty-six months.

never cut off three-quarters of a new cake of soap and throw it away I Yet you pay twice the price of Ivory Soap for a cake of "tinted" toilet soap less than half as Your little cake of toilet soap costs you four times the price of Ivory, for it lasts only half as long and costs twice as much. No money can buy purer or better soap than Ivory. If it came in dainty paper, all scented and colored, you would pay fifteen cents for a very small cake of it.

Good Showing for K. of P. Frank Bowers,' grand secretary of the Knights of l'ythias, has completed his annual report. It shows a not gain in membership in the state of 2,374. The total membership is 42,937. There are 156 active subordinate lodges. The total receipts of [.these lodges were $503,504.96, of which $111,084.47 was used in relief work. The lodges now have a cash balance on) hand amounting to $148,593.42.

The assets of the subordinate lodges were as follows, according to the report: Cash, $145,593.42 investments, $237,992.4^: real estate, $390, 804 06 furniture, paraphernalia, etc $237,340.79 total, SI,014,730.75. The grand lodge has five representatives to the supreme lodge—more than any other domain. It also has two supreme oflicers. The grand lodge will pay to the supremo lodge a per capita tax of $3,434.96.

The New Monon Train.

The Monon accommodation, running between Bloomington and Lafayette, made its initial run last Monday, and a curious crowd was at tho station to bid it welcome. Promptly on schedule time—9:41 a. m., engine No. 46 arrived pulling a combination baggage and smoker and a day car. By the light of last Monday's train it is hard to see where Lafayette will get the better of Crawfordsville from this train. There were eighteen people on ttie train, twelve got off hero and four people got on. Of course the people have not known about it long enough to patronize it, but it looks as though Crawfordsville would profit by it more than Lafayette.

Culver a Naval Station.

Mr. Culver, of St. Louis, Mo., has notified Culver Military academy that Culver will become a naval station through a bill signed by President M& Kinley. Twelve government yawls will be provided for cadets and the usual number of small arms will also be given. The cadets wiil take a thirty days' trip each year on the United States steamer Michigan. Mr. Culver says new barracks and a new gymnasium will be built as soon as possible.

Walkup will call a meeting soon of tho enumerators at his oliice at which time they will be given their final instructions and furniRhed with tho necessary blanks. Thoy must make their final report to Supt. Walkup.

Scared By the Measles.

Last Sunday Alva Leonard, a foyner citizen who has beon visiting John Mount, awoke iu the morning with a badly swollen and inflamed faco. When Mrs. Mount saw him she coLcluded he had smallpox and announced hor fear in an alarmed manner. The "news" quickly swept over tho neighborhood and there was somo loud lamenting done by tboso who had been with Leonard during the few days previous. Drs. Barcus and Niven were called iu hastily and they pronounced tho case measles. There is considerable relief in the Mount neighborhood and it is now impossible to find any one who took alarm at the first report.

Liquor Licenses Granted.

Tho county commsssioners last Monday granted liquor licenses to Jamos Kincaidj of New Richmond, and Tom Herron, of Ladoga. Herron is the fellow who made himself so notorious at Waynotown and who made such along and bitter fight to continue in the whiskey business in that town. He had to give up the contest, however, and retire in disorder.
