HI

The Golden Rule's Easter Business

"Was the largest in existence. People say, No wonder, for never did the store look so beautiful. And we know we never displayed such a grand and complete line of merchandise. "We are more than proud of the enormous strides forward the Millinery, Cloak and Suit departments are making this spring, aDd it is pleasant to hear remarks like these from the heads of these two'departments: "People buy easy they are not hard to suit at all very Beldom one goes one without buying, and those who do nearly always come back." This proves these three things: 1—The merchandise is right. 2—The prices are right. 3—The salespeople are right and try to please.

Some Amazing Millinery Bargains.

The Golden Rule's Millinery Department is animated by the right kind of enthusiasm and backed.by the right kind of trimmed hats and everything pertaining to the millinery line. We are distinguished for prices invariably lower than our competitors ask for the same goods. Never before in the history of this store has it done such an enormous business in Millinery and Suits as it has this season. Our sales are far above those for last season That stands to show that our business is increasing. Our milliners have been working day and night forthe past t\yo weeks in order to keep up with their work. You will ask, Why ia it? Simply because our styles are the latest, our workmanship the best and our prices lowest. Thanking the public for their great Easter patronage and trusting to you in the future, we are

Yours respectfully,

FRANCHISE GRANTED.

The Crawfordsville Traction Company Granted a Franchise In Fountain County.

Attica Ledger: "The county commissioners of Fountain county, in session at Covington to-day, granted a franchise to the Crawfordsville Traction Co., from the east line of Jackson township, in this county, and extending in a southwesterly direction to Kingman the proposed route to be about thirty miles long. The conditions of the franchise state that it shall be for a period of fifty years, that the company shall keep the highway along which the track is laid in repair, and that all crossings, bridges, etc., shall be constructed by the railway company. The property owners along the route are fully protected in every way. "The petition was presented to-day by W. T. Whittington and Charles Vancleave, representing the company. The people of the lower end of the county have been clamoring so for the road that any other step would have been resented them. It is said that the people along the route have offered to give the company a right of way in case the commissioners refused to grant a franchise, and are now preparing to vote a subsidy to the railroad company. "The same parties also asked a franchise for a line to run from Crawfords ville, via Mellott and Newtown, to Attica, but no action was taken to-day in regard to that proposition. It is likely that they will refuse to grant a franchise for the latter road."

Went Clear.

Isaac McKinley,who shot Ed Keesee's dog, went free Monday and the decision will be of interest to the people generally. A statute was found declaring that any one! might kill a dog that was running at large without being attended by its master. This settled that case against McKinley for killing the dog so he was then arrested on a charge of harboring a female dog and permitting her to run at large. He proved that he had tried to keep the dog up, but that she had escaped. Consequently he was cleared on the second charge, too, much to the disgust of Mr. Keesee and a number of other dog fanciers present.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to eyre. Send for list of testimonials. Address,

FROM MANILA.

Capt. Wllhlte Writes Entertaining!)' and Glves^the Details of Sergeant Capllnger's Death.

The family of Capt. C. O. Wilhiteare in receipt of the following letter from him written at Manila, where he is stenographer for the Philippine commission: "MANILA, P. I., Feb. 25,1901—DEAR POLKS—As there is another mail going to the states on the 1st of March, I take this occasion to drop you a few lines to let you know of my (whereabouts and general condition. I am in the same room, eat at the same place and work in the same oflice as at my last writing. Nothing has occurred that would bo of any interest to you excopt the death by drowning of Sergt. Jesse C. Caplingor, which was a very regrettable affair, and made me feel very much grieved for a time. He was a good friend of mine and seeking a commission in the regular army. I-Ie was to appear for examination before the board of ofiicers organized for that purpose, next month. He was drowned on the 17th and his body was recovered the 18th and buried the same day. In a place like this one misses an old friend much more than in the stales, where friends are so many. Of course 1 have found many friends here but not such as my old friends, such as 'Cap.' He was much liked in the battery. Battery A, 0th heavy artillery, by both officers and men, and his death cast'quite a gloom over the entire battery. He made the best quartermaster sergeant the battery has had, at least since Caplinger joined it. His death is something of a mystery to everyone in the battery. A special friend of Caplinger, Corporal Colwell, and an old 158th Indiana man, told me all there was to know about the matter.

He said thatCaplinger°had been very vigilant in breaking up the practice of gambling among the natives at a small markettjust above the battery barracks on the Pasig river, on which?,^stream the barrackslare also located, and that he sometimes made excursions up there after night even when not on duty. Some think that he made an excursion up there to see if there was a game in progress, and that on his way back someone struck him on the head and knocked or pushed him into the river. Of course this is only an imaginary supposition and was coined on the strength of the fact there* was a bruise on the side of his head. Butjjeven the fact of a bruise is not ia icertainty, it being a rumor that no gone in the battery seemed^to verify with^any degree of certainty. He was^not a man addicted to the excessive^indulgence in intoxicants, and no one can believe that he fell in on his. way to thel market, if he went there, though no one seems to know where he was. Just before tattoo or the night roll call, the sergeant of the guard saw him justi£outside the Sally Porte, or outer entrance, but when the sergeant made his check roll call after taps he waslmissing^from his bunk. One of the sentinels claims to have seen a man sitting in the 'closet,' (which is over the river and one end unprotected) with his head resting on his hands as though asleep^ or in deep thought, and a, member »of the 4th Infantry claimsito have seen a man in a like position about the-same time and sitting in the same place, gbut oneither knew who the man was. In |tbe edge of the river at^this point- the water is waiste deep, and the bed slopes (jdownward so rapidly that in going eight or ten feet furtherjout it i8i["considerably over a man's head. It was saidithat he could not swim. When found he wore his brown uniform, (which has loops on the trousers to pass a belt^through like bicycle pants) the belt was not fastened but hung loose in these loops, his coat was unbuttoned as was also two of his shirt buttons. For this reason he is supposed to be the man seen by the sentry and the 4th Infantry'man. It is supposed that he arose in his sleepy condition after sitting there a while and accidentally walked off the landing into the river, and the bed being so steep here, after falling in he made a sort of a dive, caused by the fall, which carried him into,deep water, and being unable to swim was drowned. I did not see him before he was buried. In fact, he was buried before I knew of his death. He is the first Crawfordsville boy who has met his death in the Philippines. "Charles Bird, and old Co. boy, of the 34th Infantry, goes home to-mor-row on the Logan to be mustered out. You may see him before many moons. I called on him several times while he was here and gave him some letter paper, some envelopes, some postage stamps and some American thread and needles out of the lot which you gave me and sent him on his way rejoicing in the thought that he was homeward bound. "Since beginning this letter I have made arrangements to change both my board and my room. In the' transaction I will save $5 on my room rent and about $10 on my board. We are to join a 'mes5' for our meals at 118 Calle Real and our new room is on Calle Audiencia, both inside the walled city. Our new room is in a vei'y pleasant and pretty locality overlooking the drill ground of the artillery. The weather is still very fine here and some tell me

torus, and no woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is absolutely no need of it. The subject of our portrait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of Englishtown, N.J., has been entirely cured of such illness and misery by Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound, and the guiding advice of Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.

No other medicine has such a record for absolute cures, and no other medicine is "just as good." Women who want a cure should insist upon getting Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound when the}' ask for it at a store. Anyway, write a letter to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and tell her all your troubles, ller advice is free.

there is no terrors in the rainy season and that it is much exaggerated. "More stenographers came over on the 'Grant,' two of whom have been as signed to our office, and this will make our own task much easier than it has been. I am very glad that 1 came over when 1 did, as 1 am now fourth sten ographer In our oflice. Two of the boys are talking of going home, and then I will be second whereas if I had come on the Grant I would have lost this, prestige. am much amused at tho fire department here. It is a hand cart system—that is, pulling the hose cart by hand. We have waterworks, and hence no fire engine, as the buildings are generally but two stories high. The natives make no great rush in puiling the cart to a fire in fact, it seems of no importance to them. Tho chief carries the coupling wrench in a sheath in his belt, and seems to stick to it like a soldier to his gun. Once, it ia said, he chanced to leave the wrench behind when at a fire, and he walked as leisurely after it as though the fire would wait until his return for the water to be turned on. "We have had uno rain yet and I am feeling very well and enjoying njy stay on the island very much."

In a letter written a few days previ ous to the foregoing, Mr. Wilhite says: "Jim Iw'cCall, an old Company boy, who went out with Capt. Allen's company, is here in Manila on the police force, as is a boy named Holmes, also from Crawfordsville. Gen. Mac/Yrthur told me the other day that the 44th regiment, in which Harry Miller, Ollie Pry and all that Company crowd enlisted, will not come to Manila at all, but will be sent home directly from the island of Cebu, it being out of the way to bring them here."

Death of John Powers.

John Powers, a young man well known here, died Sunday at Logansport. Powers was raised by the Rev. Father Crosson, who was formerly priest at St. Bernard's church here, and has since resided with him at Logansport. He was taken slightly ill Thursday but was able to be up Friday. Saturday he again complained of being ill and his demise occurred Sunday morning. He v-ras about twenty-three years old. He was well known here by the people in the church and was uniformly well liked. The funeral occurred at Logansport at 9 a. m. Tuesday.

Trustees Meet.

The township trustees met Monday with the county superintendent for the purpose of receiving the blanks and the instructions for tho enumeration of the school children of the county. The programme for the semi-annual meeting of the county board of education in May was also arranged for.

Death of a Child.

Ruth Wheeler, the seven-year-old daughter of Milton Wheeler, died on Tuesday morning, of pneumonia, at the family residence near New Richmond. The funeral took place Wednesday at 10 o'clock. Burial at New Richmond.

Given "Up to Dio With Croup. Mrs. L. Cordier, of Munnington, Ky., writes: "My three-year-old girl had a severe case of croup, the doctor said she could not live and gave her up to die. I went to the store and got a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick relief and saved her life."
