A RE you a sufferer from weak or diseased eyes? Is your sight impaired oi A failing? Do your eyes smart, burn or itch when reading 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.

Positivctv (rfia.fa.ntee 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 WOOL MARKET.

The Price This Year Will Not Be So High as Last.

The wool buyers of Crawfordsville are preparing to handle this year's clip which has already begun to come in. Only a very few loads have arrived as yet, but in two weeks the rush will be on. The price this year begins at seventeen cents, a lower figure than was paid last year when the dealers indulged in a little competition that was better for the farmers than it was for themselves. The clip in the county this year is large and most of it will be marketed here, as will a large portion of the clip of adjoining counties.

Jacob Confer Dead.

VOL. 54—NO. 16 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY APRIL 19. 1901-TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

Jacob Confer, who formerly resided south of the city and who was well known here, died a few days ago at Tingley, Iowa. A paper of that city contains the following notice which will be of interest to his friends in this county: "Jacob Confer was born January 7, 1839, in Clark county, Ohio, and died at his home in Tingley, Wednesday morning, March 27, 1901. At the age of ten years he moved with his parents to Indiana. At the early age of fifteen years he placed his affections on things eternal, concluding that he would live the remainder of his life in harmony with his creator and thus, it might be said, 'insured' his soul against the de grading influences of sin in this life and for eternal peace and happiness in the life beyond the tomb. He united with the Methodist church and the last years of his life are strong evidence that he was always a faithful man to whatever duty called him to do. He was a blacksmith and wagonmaker by trade, which he followed for many years and was always a busy workman.

He came to Iowa about twenty-four years ago and in 1882 went to South Dakota, where he followed his trade and took a claim, which he sold about two years later and returned to Iowa, locating in Tingley. May 6, 1886, he was united in marriage to Miss Ida M, Thompson. To this union were born two

girl3

and one boy, who with the

mother are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father, Mr. Confer gave up working at his trade some years ago because his health and strength were not equal to the requirements and for four years conducted a restaurant in this city. On retiring from the restaurant he bought the home where the family now reside. The last ten years he was janitor of the Tingley schools and discharged his duty in a way that was highly satisfactory. The last eleven or twelve years he was never away from home. He was a charter member of the K. P. lodge of this city. Jacob Confer was a devoted Christian and faithful to every trust reposed in him. The funeral was held last Thursday from the Methodist church conducted by Rev. W. H. Larrick. The family is worthy of every kindness and sympathy that they may receive."

Electric Road Meeting.

Last week at Alamo there was amass meeting of the citizens to talk over the proposed electric line projected by the Crawfordsville company. The large hall was packed for the occasion and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Sam Gill presided and talks for the company were made by W. T. Whittington and C. N. Vancleave. Eight or ten citizens spoke earnestly for the road and no pains will be spared to secure it, the people realizing that it would be an immense benefit to the whole county, and especially to Ripley township. A committee of three was appointed to vis-it the lines near Indianapolis and investigate their working as affects the communities through which they pass.

FAIR CUBA.

James I-'. Stuteaman Makes Some Observatlons as a Result of his Visit.

James F. Stutesman, who has been making a tour of Cuba with a party of friends gives an interesting account of his journey, and the impressions he received during his stay. Briefly he says "Cuba has been properly named 'Tho Queen of the Antilles.' The view from the battlements of El Principe, the greatest fortress in the western hemisphere, is the fairest my eye has over looked upon. Havana, through the agency of the United States government and under the direction of Governor Wood, is to-day as clean and wholesome a city as Indianapolis or Detroit.

"Everywhere is apparent the evidence of American methods. All semblance of military authority on the part of America is carefully avoided. The soldiers wearing the blue are quartered at Columbia barracks, several miles distant from the city.

The people are orderly and law abiding. During the five days of our stay we did not see a brawl, an altercation nor a drunken person. "The constitutional convention, now in session, is largelv composed of politilcal adventurers, non-tax payers and men of little responsibility. They are not representatives of the substantial interests of the people. Indeed the wealthier pla'nters and the business men are not represented in the convention and are not in sympathy with the tone of its discussion or the attitude shown in its deliberations. "It is the general belief in the island, however, that the Piatt amendment will be adopted, giving to the United States a practical supervision and con trol of the island. "While in Havana we were accorded every consideration by the authorities

Especially are we indebted to Colonel Baldwin of the Seventh United States cavalry, and Lieutenant Commander Lucien Young, the captain of the fort for many courtesies shown. "As soon as political conditions are settled, Cuba will afford great opportu nities for the investment of capital in all lines of American enterprise. We should never relinquish our supervis ion over Cuban affairs, because I be lieve that should the Piatt amendment be rejected, and should we withdraw from the island entirely, leaving the Cubans to manage their own affairs there would be revolution within thirty days thereafter. 'Cuba libre' is all right in sentiment but I do not believe its operation is practical at this time

N every cake of Ivory Soap there are 100 complete suits of rich, creamy lather. Before dressing, put on a suit of Ivory Soap. Cover the entire body from head to foot with lather.

He Is Satisfied.

General Wallace has returned from New York where he went on business connected with spectacular "Ben-Hur." He said he did not see the play of "BenHur" in Boston, but transacted considerable business in New York in connection with the future presentation of the drama. After its run in Boston the play will be taken to Brooklyn to finish the season. Next season it will be given in Chicago

General Wallace says that arrangements have been made to present the drama in London next year. It will open next April for a season at Drury Lane theater. It is the plan to present the play in London on a more elaborate and magnificent scale than ever. The same managers will produce it, but it will be presented by an English company, Gen. Wallace says that probably five hundred people will be employed in its production, and sixteen horses will be used on the stage instead of eight, the number now in use. "Ben-Hur" will also be taken to Australia next season io be produced at Melbourne and Sidney.

General Wallace, on being asked whether he had ever publicly announced what his royalties are on the dramatization of "Ben-Hur," said he had not and probably would not do so.

But there is one thing I can say," he remarked with a smile, "and that is that I am very well satisfied."

The Long Awaited. Indianapolis Prosit of April

The 11

says: It is learned from friends of Gen. Lew Wallace that when lie completes his "Memoirs," upon which he is now engaged at his home in Crawfordsville, he will write an American novel. The author of "Ben-Hur" ancl "The Prince of India" has not yet written of American life. It is not known whether the work is to be historical or contemporary, but his experience1' in the civil war make it seem probable that his new novel will deal with the stirring days of thirty years ago.

Gen. Wallace's "Memoirs" will cover hislife—military, civic and literary— and because of his prominence it is expected that the book will be hailed as a valuable addition to historical literature.

Gen. Wallace has had this American novel in mind for a good many years, and stated at one time that he had the scheme of the work fullv evolved. However, he has not as yet begun it.

Fraud on Farmers.

I learn from a seed dealer in Crawfordsville that the wholesale dealers in the large cities refuse to warrant their seed to grow. It is a well known fact that many grass seeds are worthless after they are two or three years old— especially is this so with blue grass and tinjothy. The agricultural department year book for 1898 exposed tho frauds that seed dealers are in tho habit of practicing on farmers, and warned them against buying seed without a warranty. Tho old seed that is kept over from year to year is mixed with a little new and sold for good seed. The reason the wholesale seed merchants refuse to warrant their seed is that they know the fraud that is practiced in the sale of old or "dead" seed as it is called, and do not want to be called to account for the bad quality of the seed. In view of this condition of affairs it would be well for all farmers to save seed on their own farms. A few years ago the writer of this bought 20 bushels of blue grass seed without testing it, and not one seed in a hundred ever sprouted. I lo'st not only the money I paid for the seed, but missed getting my land in grass. Hereafter shall raise such grass seeds as I may wish to sow.

Telephone Troubles.

Lafayette Journal: Daniel E. Storms was yesterday appointed receiver for the Shawnee Mound Telephone Co., and was required to give bond in the sum of $10,000. The application for the appointment of a receiver was made in the superior court by Alexander Meharry, one of the directors, and the other gentlemen interested are John W. Gay, John Borum, Arthur I-I. Evans and Ethan Meharry. Tho plaintiff in asking for the appointment of a receiver alleged that there was discord among tho directors as to tho management of the business, and asserted that it would be to the interest of all to have the business affairs of the company brought to a close.
