I WHAT DO YOU WANT?

When you buy a buggy do you want one that will fall to pieces about the second year? If you do, don't come to me. My vehicles are built to run and look well for years. No shoddy goods in my stock, and every vehicle has the guarantee of its maker to be just as good as it looks. My buggies, stanhopes, surreys, bike wagons, etc., are this year's styles and I have no old, shopworn goods. Come in and let us have a heart to heart talk about the matter. It won't do you any harm.

Good bicycles at little prices, and the best rubber buggy tire sold—the Springfield-Kelly.

THE PHILIPPINES.

O. I^. Fry Says There Will Be Great Opportunities There for Men With Small Capital.

O. R. Fry arrived home Saturday night from his service in the Philippines and talks interestingly of his experience Said he: "I would not have missed that service for anything and look upon it as a liberal education Soldier life there in the Philippines is hard or easy just as the soldier makes it. If he is tough and drunken the life is hard, but if he acts like a civilized being he gets along all right. If you hear a man hammering and kicking around about his hardships you may put it down that he spent a good deal of time in the guard

FOR TREASURER OF STATE.

Jacob Joel Will Be Presented Before the Next Republican State Convention.

Jacob Joel will go before' the next Republican state convention as a candi date for the nomination for state treasurer and it need not be said that he will go supported solidly by Montgomery county and practically all of the ninth district. He will also have supporters in all parts of the state and looks like a winner. Mr. Joel's candidacy has met a hearty response in all quarters, and he is in receipt of many letters from influential politicians all over Indiana endorsing him and promising support. Mr. Joel is a native Hoosier and a life long Republican, besides being a man well qualified for the high office to which he aspires. He was born in Lafayette fifty-four years ago, but when a boy of twelve came to Crawfordsville with his parents and has since resided here. A3 a citizen he has been progressive and patriotic and prominently identified with the growth and progress of Crawfordsville. As an active, business man he has taken into his wock a geniality and kindness which

house. Most of the Crawfordsville boys in the 44th made splendid records and the officers stated that the bunch from this town was the beat crowd in the regiment. This is proved too, by the fact that most of the boys became noncommissioned officers. And they made good ones, too. "The Philippine Islands are certainly valuable acquisitions for this country and within five years there will be great business opportunities there for men with small' capital. Already in some of the islands business is booming and men are making money rapidly who began with a very limited capital. The natives are not nearly so bad as many of the papers here have painted them, and had it not been for the political campaign in this country there would have been little or no trouble over there. We frequently found in captured camps copies of the Now York Journal and other treasonable papers filled with encouragement to the rebels. They must have been shipped to the islands in great quantities in some manner as we were constantly running onto them.

The only complaint had to make of my army life was the monotony of the rations. We had too much out of cans and I hope no one will ever show me a can of salmon again. It has been ascertained lately that better things were "intended for us but that the commissary thieves in Manila, who have re cently been found out, held us up. We shall all of us rejoice at their punish ment. Still we all enjoyed good health and came home almost without exception in better shape than when we left. I saw over there a number of the com-

rades and friends of Jesse Caplingcr, of this place, who died while in the sixth battery. He was reported here as having been drowned in the Pasig rivBr I believe, but his companions do not think so. His bunk mate and most intimate friend stated that he had no doubt in the world but that Caplinger was murdered. He thinks that tin got up in the night and started for the water closet on the river bank unarm ed that he detected some natives in a gambling game and endeavored to break it up: that the gamblers saw he was unarmed, attacked him, struck him over the head and threw him into the river. When the body was found there was an ugly bruise on the head.

He could not have fallen from the closet into the river as was reported here."

have made him a host of warm friends, and few more popular men have ever lived here. He has been eminently successful in his business, the best recommendation for those aspiring to conduct public business, and is one of the most substantial citizens of the county to-day.

As a Republican Mr. Joel is entitled to a distinguished consideration. He has never before sought an office although he has been active in party work all his life. He has interested himself materially in the success of the Reoublican party and has contributed liberally whenever called upon. He has brought into practical politics the working part of a good citizen and has attended every primary and convention his party has held. It is probable that he has not missed a state convention in thirty years and most of the time he has attended as a delegate.

As treasurer of state Mr. Joel would make an admirable official. He is a thorough business man, painstaking and exact, and at the same time he is possessed of that urbanity and courtesy which the people desire in those who servo them. In short Mr. Joel is a popular and deserving Republican who wishes an office he is eminently qualified to fill.

NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

The Money of Fraternal Organizations to Be Listed for Taxation.

The county board of review Saturday placed upon the tax duplicate $38,550, money the Tribe of Ben-Hur has loaned in this county, and $3,100 which the Masonic fraternity has loaned. This was done in accordance with the rules sent out by the attorneygeneral for the guidance of boards. Both societies will appeal from the action and it may be reversed by the courts, if it is not reversed a number of the other societies hereabouts will have to come to taw. Nearly all of them have money loaned. It is 6aid that the Tribe of Ben-Hur and Masons were singled out in order to make a test case, they being the two wealthiest societies here.

A Painful Injury.

Last Monday while at work at the wire factory W. C. Carr suffered quite a painful accident. One of the workmen on the scaffolaing above him dropped a timber which fell across Mr. G'arrs nose, cutting it in an ugly manner. The injury while painful is not serious.

CARRIE NATION.

She Stops at Terre llautc For a Few Hours and Stirs Things Up.

A special from Terre Haute says: "Mrs. Carrie Nation was in Terre for a few hours lo-day and visited a number of Main street saloons. At one place the proprietor olTered her a bottle to smash, but at other saloons she was treated with sc .nt courtesy. "Mrs. Nation went in search of the mayor anil was directed to a saloon to find him. The bartender denied tlint he was there, and she began lecturing Mayor Ste-'ir, who had been keeping quiet, under the impression that ho was the proprietor. The mayor took hold of her hand and tried to put her out. of the place, at the same time ordering the crowd out. 'Tear out or I'll throw you out-,' said the mayor, but Mrs. Nation wou.d not go. She recognized a reporter as one who had been with her in her India apolis visits to saloons. 'How's the mayor over at Indianapolis?' she asked. 'Does he still own that saloon in the hotel? I do so wish that Tom would get it into his head to be chairman of the Prohibition party and quit his monkey business. Tom's a nice boy—a nice boy—but he just won't let go of that saloon. Say, didn't we have a picnic with him over at Indianapolis?. My! but that's a tough town!'

For Free Vaccination.

The state board of health meets tod*y to take up the proposition of general free vaccination. It was dis1-- by the secretary with the governor, for, if the scheme is adopted, the contingent fund will have to be drawn on. The governor said ho would consider the matter when) formally presented. It is not known whether the board will approve it. A prominent physician suggests, in its stead, the issuance of a weekly bulletin on smallpox and favoringivaccination, and that no virus be used that has'not passed the state board's approval.

Remember you pay for perfume whenever you buy it mixed with soap. Don't you think it is wiser to make your own selection of perfume and buy it separately? It is certainly the method adopted by most persons of cultivated taste, those who bathe with pure Ivory Soap.

Saturday evening while Allen Johnson was driving on west Main street his horse took fright at some juvenile ball players and ran away. He managed to pull the shafts loose from the buegy and then jerked Mr. Johnson over the dash board causing him to let loose of the reins. The horse then leaped a few fences

HEARD THE PLASTER FALL.

Anil Then Smcllcd Smoke—A Disastrous Fire Is Narrowly Aveited.

Last Saturday morning about 3:30 o'clock Gus Fisher, who rooms over Man»on'a grocery on north Green street, was awakened by the falling of plaster in the work room of his cigar factory, adjoining his sleeping room. lie awoke to smell smoke and (ire and at once gave the alarm across the street at the engine house. The boll was sounded and the department was on hand in short order. For about fifteen minutes the cigar factory was flooded and the lire was then out.

The stock of tobacco in the work roomvrh ruined and it is thought that the completed sroods in the store room were alsso damaged by smoke. Mr. Fisher carried $350 insurance which covers his loss.

Manson's grocery below suffered moro materially although the damage was from smoke and water alone. A hole was burned in the lloor and through this the water and smoke came pouring The damage was not so groat but that the store was opened for business on Saturday.

In the third story of the building rooms George Sperry, a bar tender. He aw ke In the midst of the excitement and thought himself lost. The smoke was pouring up the stairway so he rushed to the window mil hailed those on the street below. In the crowd below he recognized Mr. Reddy Scaggs, a fellow barkeeper, and a brother of good standing in the Ancient Order of the Belgian Hares. To him Mr. Sperry frantically appealed as follows: "For the Lord's sake, Red, run up a ladder and save your old playmate! I'm burning up fast and one of my legs is gone now! Run up a ladder! Ladder! Ladder! I'd do as much for you if you was burning up, Red, so get a ladder-er-er-er—!" He was getting ready to jump when a bold Qreman entered the room from behind and saved him from an awful leap to death.

A McKlnley Cow.

George Thompson, of Walnut township, has a big Shorthorn cow which he calls his McKinley cow. She gave birth to twin calves in 1899 and 1900, and the other day when Mr. Thompson went down in the pasture he found running at her side three fine red calves only a few hours old.
