Comment And Story,

+.

The new rifle club perfected a permanent organization last Monday and bids fair to take a prominent part in the sporting societies of the county. Although the club is young some of its members are already adepts in rifle shooting. The other day W. H. Webster, at a distance of 600 yards, put three balls in quick succession in a target less than a foot in diameter. At 600 yards this target looked no larger than a fly. The balls were fired from a Mauser rifle and without raising the sights.

Frank George: "The grain crop in the west will be something wonderful thiB year and the people out there are bragging of it. An old fellow named Rice came to our office from Kansas the other day and said: 'Corn fields here make me sick. Out in Kansas the corn fields stand like forests. A few

dayB

before I left a lad climbed up a big stalk to see if roasting ear* were ripe. He hadn't gone up a great distance until he realized that the stalk was growing faster than he could climb and he started to come down. He came down as fast as he could, but the stalk grew faster than he could descend, so although coming down he was going up. It wasn't long until he was out of sight completely. When I left home the ground at the base of the stalk was covered with corn cobs showing that the boy was living and in no danger of starvation.'

Joseph Green, of the Big Four bridge gang of this city, is hunting for his mother and sister. His story is a peculiar one. He is thereon of Thomas W. and Rachel Green. His parents came to Crawfordsville from Ohio before the war. His father enlisted, muoh to the rage of his mother, who refused to have anything further to do with him. When his father's term of enlistment expired he returned to Crawfordsville and succeeded in getting from his wife his two sons, Frank and Joseph. His wife went to Danville, 111., however, with her daughter, Mary. The elder Green then went to Missouri. He is still living there. He told his sons, who were mere infants at the time of their parents' separation, nothing of their mother and {sister, and they grew up in ignorance of them. Recently Joseph Green learned of his parents' separation and by inquiring from his father he learned that his mother and sister lived a while at Danville, 111., and were last heard from as residents of Indianapolis.

Dr. E. W. Keegan: "A strange oversight was made in building the court house when the date was not put on it. Hardly a day passes but somebody asks somebodylelse when the building was erected, but there is nothing about the building to show when it was put up. Lots of the officials themselves about the court house don't know, either. I think it was in the early 70's, but the date should be by all means put on the building in a prominent place."

J. K. Everson: "When I was a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old I was an expert with a bow and arrow. It was no trick at all for me to knock a robin from a tree top or nail a yellow hammer to a dead limb. I could throw almost as well as I could shoot, and no living thing did well to give me a second throw at It if by chance it survived the first. To-day I tried throwing a ball with some small bnys and I'm stiff and sore, which admonishes me that when one grows up he must keep in practice if he wants to stay in the game."

Assessor Billingsley: "The constitution may not have to follow the flag, but the receipt has to follow the dog. To be more explicit, if a man buys a dog he must have the former owner's tax receipt turned over with the animal or else a second tax will have to be paid. The nan who owns a dog must hold a receipt showing that the tax on him has been paid. In order for a man to recover for the killing of his dog he must have the animal listed for taxation a6 property aside from the regular dog tax paid. One gentleman here in town who lives in a handsome residence of his own has his dog listed for taxation at a higher valuation than

household furniture and library."

Returned soldier: "All the boys while in the Philippines picked up a few Spanish phrases useful in trading and making wants known, but none of them became proficient Spanish scholars. At least none of the boys in the 44th did. When you see a ccvp'e of the boys walking along the street cracking at each other in Spanish you may bet your last dollar that they are airing their whole knowledge of the language for the benefit of the public."

Wilce Everson: "I am mighty glad to get home from the Philippine war but I wouldn't trade my experience for anyifomg. It has made anew man of me. Skill war is a dreadful thing and I have eeen the dead so thick in front of

me that I couldn't walk without stepping on bodies. Yet I can't say for certain that I ever killed anyone. I hope I didn't. I liked the Filipinos immensely, especially the ladies whom I found to be most beautiful and virtuous. They look like pronounced brunettes in this country and are good lookers. I met quite a number and found them to be as virtuous and good as anybody. A fellow over there can have five wives and nobody will kick, but I understand all that is to be changed now that this country has oontrol."

Daniel Cain: "In going over the state as grand master of the colored Masons, I find that many people do not readily remember my name. A few days ago in a town south of here the master of the local lodge, who was showing me around, constantly forgot my name, so I finally told him to bear In mind a walking cane and then he could recall my name. This seemed to cheer him up amazingly and was of great assistance, for in less than five minutes we meta brother on the street and the master stopped him, saying: 'Here, Mr. Jones, let me introduce our grand maBter, Mr. Stick.'

After the Druggists.

Indianapolis Journal: The druggists of Indiana must quit exercising the functions of physicians," declared Dr. William T. Gott, of Crawfordsville, president of the state medical board, yesterday afternoon. Dr. Gott's associates on the board warmly Indorsed his statement. "The custom of druggists prescribing for people afflicted with mild ailments has grown to such an extent," continued Dr. Gott, "that in many places, Indianapolis among them, the druggists actually make more prescriptions than do the regular physicians. Leaving out the question of danger to people who depend on druggists for their prescriptions, it does not look fair that a pharmacist should be allowed to usurp duties the proper performance of which has cost physicians much money and years of study to learn. If druggists must make prescriptions then they certainly ought to stand the examination and pay the legal license fee, just as physicians are compelled to do."

The medical board calls on the public to assist in the work of compelling druggists to desist from performance of duties properly belonging to licensed physicians. "If people who know that druggists are doing this sort of thing will inform the medical board of it.5' said Dr. Curryer, "we will give the matter proper attention. Of course, we can accomplish little by our own unaided efforts."

George Hutton's Son Hurt. From a Grand Junction, Colo., paper we clip the following itlm of local Interest: "Ward Hi'tton, son of George W. Hutton, residing between Eighth and Ninth streets, on Ouray, was a Fourth of July victim yesterday. Ward is only fifteen years of age and was playing with a small cannon in the yard of the Hutton home. He was about to light the fuse of the cannon, which was afterward found to be too short, when the little plaything went off and knocked Ward several feet. The eyeB of the young boy and his forehead were badly peppered with powder. It is not probable that he will lose his eyes, although a perfect examination cannot be made of them yet, owing to their extreme soreness. It is hoped, however, that he will not lose his sight."

Fire at the Price Elevator. Wednesday noon the fire department was called to the Price elevator which was on lire. The department did good work and soon had the blaze extinguished. Still the roof was considerably damaged as were sotae of the rooms. Mr. Price, as yet, is unable to give an estimate of his loss. The only grain injured was a small pile of oats which were water soaked. Wednesday morning a car load of corn and a car of oats had been loaded preparatory to the receipt of the wheat crop. The fire originated from the friction caused by a belt which had slipped from the pulley. The loss was covered by insurance.

A Ticklish Job.

When a heavy train crosses the Big Four trestle now with two bents out there Is an uncanny swaying of that ancient structure. But the worst Is yet to come. When the big arch is constructed two more bents will have to be removed, leaving only one to support seventy feet of the trestle. The railroaders and contractors are all of them much concerned as to the sue* cess of this venture. It seema to be a question as to whether one bent can withstand the burden three sustain with apparent difficulty. All have their heads together now devising some means for bracing the big structure during the balance of the work.

Married.

On Sunday morning, July 7th, at the residence of Rev. G. W. Stafford, occurred the marriage of Mr. Wayne Shelton and Miss Lida E. Green, both of Smartsburg. They took the morning train on the Big Four for a short visit in Indianapolis with friends.. Their many friends wish them much happiness in their future married lives so happily begun. The marriage services were performed by Rev. Stafford.

ITHE UNUSUAL BARGAINS?

we have been offering have been sufficient to fill the Big Store to overflowing during the past week and to ta*o-sales

with this store, for most people have learned our advertisements are truthful and that they can depend upon getting everything just as It is advertised if they como within a reasonable time. It has also been learned that we do not overstate our offerings. If the reductions are slight, we say so if they are large we say so. You always find them as good as we say—many times better. A customer surprised to find more and better values than she expected, will be better Impressed and do us more good than dozens who were disappointed because they didn't find the goods as cheap as they thought from the advertisement. That is the reason you will most always find more values In our offerings when you come than you expected from advertised descriptions. An example of this fact will be found in the offerings of Wash Goods in this advertisement. We mention but a few kinds and make no attempt to describe the beautiful designs and colorings, and the bargain seekers during the past week have been dumbfounded at the extent and variety of both, so much so that our sales in this department have more than doubled some previous week's record. Some came expecting to buy one dress or waist pattern and have gone away with many, and thousands of yards have been sold where the usual demand would havA been supplied with hundreds. This is an Illustration of the value of truthful advertising, As much might be said of any of the other hundred or two good bargains in other sections of the store. The same list will be continued dmtlur week, and wherever the assortment has been broken by heavy selling the gaps will be filled by new and often better goods, so you will be well repaid if you come this week.
