Death of Will Evans.

William Durham Evans died last Saturday at thq home of his father, James E. Evans, on west Pike street, at 10 o'clock. He was taken sick the second week in last October with typhoid fever and lay sick with this disease for seventeen weeks, when an affection of the lungs set in as a resultant effect of the fever. He was taken to Florida for seven weeks last winter in hopes that that climate would have a beneficial effect on his health, but the physicians advised that he be brought home and his decline has been gradual ever since.

The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence, the services being conducted by Rev. S. W. Goss, of the First M. E. church. Interment at Oak Hill.

William Durham Evans was born in this city Dec. 10,1883, and had lived here all hia life. He was a boy of splendid habits and would have been a sophomore in the high schools had he lived. He was remarkably bright in his studies and gave much promise of being a useful man in the world, and had many warm friends among the young people who will be deeply grieved to learn of his death.

From the Philippine*.

About 7,500 volunteers a*e now on their way home from the Philippines and will arrive in San Francisco this week. It will take a week to get their affairs wound up with the government and then the boys will be at liberty. A number of Crawfordsville boys are in the lot and will get home in time to help celebrate the Fourth of July.

A WOMAN in Idaho got a divorce from her husband because he would not take her to the Paris exposition. He testified in court that he was afraid of water and that he was afraid to get into a bath tub even, he got so seasick. That man has indigestion just- as a good many others we know and should take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Get it at Nye & Booe, druggists.

THE STGRM.

Saturday's Wind and Hall Do Thousands of Dollars Worth of Damage In the City and County.

The storm that struck, this city shortly after 6 o'clock last Saturday was one of the most destructive that ever visited here. It was a close relative to a cyclone and more thah a few people hunted cellars when they saw it coming. The storm center passed directly over this city it appears, being composed of two funnel shaped clouds that took everything with them. It was all over in fifteen minutes but the damage done will take weeks to repair. Just northwest of this city it mowed trees down in rows, one farmer having fourteen uprooted or broken off in one woods. At Yountsville, Tom Berkshire had lifty sugar trees in his camp blown down or brokea off, and had six hundred window lights broken out of his hot houses. Out near the Walter farm, northwest of the city, the Postal telegraph company has six poles in a row broken short off and lying across the road. All telegraph and telephone connection with the outside world was cut off until nearly noon, when the telegraph companies got a line working in a roundabout route.

Perhaps the heaviest sufferers will be the Home telephone company. Their wires are in an almost hopeless tangle all around the city, outside wires all being down. In the college campus a number of trees were blown across the wires and also in Elsten's grove, where it looks like about half the trees are down. The Home company had a force of thirty linemen out repairing the damage, but it will be several days before the lines are in good shape again, providing no other storms come. Thousands of shade trees are either blown down or broken off, and the damage to the fruit will be considerable. Fortunately the hail was not very thick or the damage to the fruit and growing crops would (have been terrible.

STORMLETS.

Part of the roof of Walter's livery barn was taken of by the storm and the barn badly damaged.

A number of fine trees in the college campus were ruined and the damage will reach several hundred dollars.

A large tree was blown across a veranda at the Hutton residence on west Market street and did considerable damage.

Joe Galey, the Oak Hill dairyman, had his windmill and eight or nine big trees blown down, causing a damage of about a hundred dollars.

No damage is reported from lightning, all of the trouble being caused by the wind and hail. Some of the hail was as big as pigeon's eggs.

The damage in Elston's grove and in Gen. Lew Wallace's ground about his study was quite serious and many of the fine trees were badly injured.

Two or three window lights were blown out of the south end of Bischof's store and a number of other places about town report similar damage.

People who have been oufcof the city state that the storm seems to have got in its work on all sides of us and that in every direction trees are blown down and broken off.

The red brick school house on the Smartsburg road about three miles northeast of the city had the roof blown off and the west side blown in by the storm. ..

Rankin Walkup's house in Englewood is almost a wreck. One of the big chimneys on the two story part of the house wae blown over on to the single story part and the roof caved in and much of the furniture and carpets ruined. A window or two were also blown in and Mr. Walkup's house looks like it had been in a regular cyclone.

Saturday Night's Storm.,,

The storm Saturday night that raged nearly all night just about finished up what was neglected by Saturday morning's storm. Reports of damages to houses and barns come in from all over the county and more trees were blown down than in the morning.

A Recruiting Station.

Capt. R. R. "Stagsdall, of the 30th infantry, has opened a recruiting station at the office of Dr. Barcus on north Washington street. Men will be enlisted for any branch of the service including the engineer corps.

You Get Your Money Back. We, the undersigned druggists, hereby agree to refund the money, if after using one box of Dr. Stone's New Dyspepsia Cure, it has failed to give satisfactory results. Cures dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart Burn, and Loss of Appetite.

A LESSON IN VALUES. OLLAR for dollar, pound for pound, there is more in Ivory Soap than in any household soap. It is easy to find a cheap soap but to find purity and low price in a single soap is not easy. They combine in Ivory Soap. You can afford to use it in the laundry you can not afford not to use it elsewhere. It is vegetable-o soap, in the cheapest form in which it can be procured. You pay nothing for a fancy box, wrapper or perfume. It is all in the soap I It floats.

Rev. T. J. Bassett, Ph. JD., Thorntown, will have charge of the daily Bible readings and Pentecostal service. Dr. Bassett is well known as a profound Bible student and an expositor. His service each morning at 9 o'clock will be an attractive feature of the programme.

Rev. H. G. Ogden, Attica, will have the management of the young peoples' meetings each evening at (3:30 o'clock. His zeal, enthusiasm and deep religious life make him a first selection for that work.
