The three men next in merit, according to the markings, will be delegates to the state oratorical convention. These men did not have their ranking made public, the announcement being made alphabetically. They are Brown, Goss, and Lookabill.

Mr. Alexander, the winner, lives in Coal Creek township and is a bright young man. He has been a school teacher and will be a junior in college next year.

A Seasonable Song.

James B. Elmore, the poet of Ripley, sends THE JOURNAL,

the following

poem of the springtide, that will touch the hearts of all who have contracted bad colds.and the swearing habit while hunting the elusive mushroom:

BUNTING EDIBLE MUSHROOMS. In the rich and pleasant wood-lands. When the south winds gently blow, ^/Children joyfully play in bands

Where the mosses green doth grow. Such is life with glowing treasure, Where the pawpaw amber blooms, Life is meted out in measure Hunting edible mushrooms.

Aft spring showers they are Maying, Far removed from winter drear In the fields they feel like straying, Songs of birds are sweet and clear. O'er the hills they wont to wander, Stopping by the clear lagoons: On the fungi think and ponder. Hunting edible mushrooms.

City folks both long and cherish For relief from toil and care, Sallow forms sweet spring will nourish, With her buds and blooms so fair. Come with me and we will ramble, In the woods which nature tunes See the children play and scramble, Hunting edible mushrooms.

Spring time passes on remember, As the youth grows to a man. Things that once were young and tender, Fill their mission in earth's plan. As by magic comes this fungi, From their secret, silent tombs Yet it's pleasure for you and I, Hunting edible mushrooms.

Robbed While He Slept.

The other day Thomas West purchased a new suit of clothes for $25 and took it home. When night came he hung the clothes on a chair near his bed and prepared to retire. Before going to rest, however, he deposited an old pair of pantaloons with $150 in the pockets uniler the bed. That night burglars entered and carried off the new suit but the pantaloons under the bed were left undisturbed. Only the new clothes and what they contained were taken. Mr. West has no clew as to the identity of the robber.

Operation Performed.

Dr. Swank last Thursday performed a surgical operation on the eight-weeks-old baby of Calvin Dickman, who lives on tEe Nichols farm. The operation was for the repair of a very bad double complete harelip and cleft palate. The little one was under the anaesthetio about twenty minutes which was administered by Dr. Barcus, and bore the shock of the anaesthetic and the operation very well considering the age.

Death of Mrs. Emanuel Staley. Mrs. Laura J. Staley, aged forty-six years, wife of Emanuel Staley, died of dropsy last Monday at nine o'clock at the family home 212 High street. The funeral occurred at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning conduoted by Rev. H. L. Davis, interment at the Tapp cemetery.

May Picnic Here.

The engineers of the Big Four are seeking a place to hold their annual picnic and have decided to hold it either at Crawfordsville or Danville, 111. If held here it will be in the fair grounds.

FRED SIMS,

The Republican District Chairman, Will Be First Deputy Under Collector Bonnell.

John R. Bonnell announced Friday that Fred Sims, of Frankfort, will be his first deputy in the revenue collector's office at Terre Haute. This position is worth $2,000 a year and naturally there were numerous applicants for it, some of them Mr. Bonnell's warm personal friends and men who had rendered valuable party work. His task in making his choice therefore was not an easy one and was attended with considerable embarrassment. Mr. Sim9, the successful man, is a in every way worthy of the place. He is in the first place eminently qualified in every way, and secondly has .been for years an indefatigable and efficient party worker. For the last two campaigns he has been chairman of the Republican committee of the Ninth district and his services were peculiarly valuable.

Mr. Bonnell has not announced his other deputies as yet, but there will be probably several changes from the present force.

Bound to Have It.

¶ Crawfordsville's old time "terrier," Nancy Lightcap Seering, is determined to have a divorce from her husband. The Indianapolis Sun says: "Nancy Seering sued McKendra for a divorce, again, Thursday. About two weeks ago, a separation was refused by Judge McMaster, who told them they could live together if they tried. Two days later she was in the court room kick ing on the verdict. She alleges that he pushed her on a stove and she was severely burned. In the last suit, she said he thought a great deal of his horses, and that when they had trouble he went to the barn and she, feeling sorry for him, carried his meals to him."

Sad Case at Thorntown.

A special from Thorntown says "John S. Couohman, a well-known farmer, of this vincinity, while here yesterday afternoon, drank to excess and started homeward in his buggy His horse shied at a log, and he was thrown out, striking on his head and breaking his neck. Death was instantaneous. Couchman was an industrious and successful farmer, owning one of the best farms in this vicinity His great weakness was tippling. He leaves a wife and seven children."

Objected to Going.

When Sheriff Canine reached Indi anapolis with Ike Goldsberry last week, Goldsberry refused to go to the insane asylum and created a scene by lying down on the sidewalk and re fusing to budge. Mr. Canine finally obtained help and when it became ap parent that further resistance was use less, Goldsberry went along like a little man.

Indiana Ahead.

Howard Anderson returned last week from Chicago a little hoarse from cheering with the Indiana stock men when the cow "Dolly the 2nd," was sold for $5,000. The animal comes to Indiana, and one Indianian got $10,000 worth of the best stock sold. It was a fight between Indiana and the world and Indiana won.

Wants Damages.

William W. Runyan has entered suit against Cornelius and Isabella McDonald for $150 damages. The McDonalds, according to the complaint, purchased a farm and appropriated for their own use a lot of posts belonging to the plaintiff. ThiB property was on the farm the defendants purchased.

President of the Haymakers. Last week at the ninth annual convention of the Haymakers' association of Indiana, held in Indianapolis, D. W. Gerard, of this city, was elected president of the association, and also to be a delegate to the national convention at Buffalo August 10.

Dismissed.

Last Friday in the circuit court the case of R. E. Bryant vs. Charles E. Longyear was dismissed. The case of J. S. Miller and others v^. the Big Four railroad company was also dismissed.

Will Open a Restaurant.

W. L. Sering will open the Hale restaurant in the Ramsey block on north Green street this week. He has been in the business before and understands it.

DIRT CLEARANCE.

is a good plan for every bather to know something of the soap he uses. There is a well-founded objection to using a floor-clean-ing soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap is the bather's soap. It costs more than common soaps, but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap—it floats.

Board of Control.

They Believe It's Good.

The people' living in Angola, Ind., and its township, evidently believe in I interurban railroads as is evidenced by the following special from Angola to the Indianapolis News: "Pleasant township, which includes this city, yesterday voted $20,000 in aid of the

Goshen & Indiana Traction Company, the vote standing 598 in favor of the subsidy and 80 negative. The line runs through LaGrange and Bloomfield township, which includes LaGrange, also voted $20,000, the result showing 546 affirmatively and 102 opposing. Several other townships will hold special elections on Saturday."

A Narrow Escape.

Last Sunday quite a number of boys visited the Big Four trestle at Dry Branch to view the progress of the work. A lad on the trestle was flourishing a large iron spike and dropped it just as Fred Houlehan, son of Thos. J. Houlehan happened to look up from the valley below. The heavy iron struck young Houlehan between the eyes, knocking him down and causing him to bleed very profusely. Fortunately the injury while painful was not serious. An inch either way, however, would have destroyed the sight of an eye.

Death of Thomas J. Beard. Word has been received here of the death at Stillwater, Oklahoma, of Thomas J. Beard. Mr. Beard was raised here and lived just east of the oity on the Wabash avenue extension until about five years ago, when he went to the home of his daughter, at Stillwater. He was a man well liked by all who knew him.

Applications Filed.

It is said that the Elks have several applications on file from parties who wish to accept the offer for the marriage at the big Fourth of July cele bration. As yet, however, no selection has been made and none will be until the right ones present themselves.

PART SECOND

Judge Thomas on the Bench. Covington Republican: Judge A. D. Thomas, of Crawfordsville, has been on the bench this week for Judge Rabb, who has been holding court at Rockville.

There has been several very important cases up, among them the Ratollff case, which has held the attention of the court for much of the week.

The court is highly just and quick in all his rulings and has made many warm friends among members of this bar. All will be glad to see him return.

A Hay Ride.

The sophomore class of the city high school, chaperoned by Mr. King and Miss Moore, enjoyed a delightful hay ride last Friday evening. At Smartsburg, a picnic supper was served and after this the ride really began, being continued for several hours. It was a jolly party and the whole town knew it yas out.

The Plans Are Ready.

W. F. Sharpe has completed the detailed plans for the Masonic temple and they are now ready for the contractors. There are forty-two sheets of drawings and 100 yards of blue prints. The contract will not be let for two or three weeks as it will require the contractors some time to estimate the work.

Board of Review.

The court has appointed J. P. Mahorney, of Ladoga, and W. Z. McBee, of Kirkpatrick, as the ez-officlo members of the county board of review, they having served in the same capacity last year. The board will meet the third Monday in June and will continue in session for three weeks.

He Palled to Provide.
