THE CRAWFORDSVILI.E WEEKLY JOURNAL.
The Electric Line From Indianapolis Via. Ladoga Is Not a Dead One By Any Means.
From the best of authority it is learned that the electric line running from Indianapolis by way of Ladoga into this city has not been given up as many people thought. Crawford Fairbanks is now in the east financing the proposed line, and the promoters claim that it will undoubtedly he built. The company has a franchise from the city council which provides that they may use the lines of the Crawfordsville Traction company for their right of way through this city, aDd if these are not available they will be given a route of their own. The proposed line, after it leaves this city, runs down the Lafayette pike in a northwesterly direction through the county and reaches splendid territory, much of it not now being reached by the steam railways.
Gem City facing Association.
The Gem City racing association of Frankfort, a member of the gas belt circuit, offers an attractive card to lovers of fast horse racing on August 6, 7. 8 and 9. The association offers $4,000 in cash purses, the money being hung upon the wire before each race. There will be three races each day,and the cards are so arranged that each day will be the ''best.1' In all harness races the purses run from $300 to $S00 which insures the best horses in the country.
Besides the splendid racing programme the association has provided extra attractions, and each day there will be Roman hippodrome races, hurdle and chariot races, tandem exhibition, and a baloon ascension. The two $7,000 guideless wonders will race each dav. Low excursion rates are offered on all railroads.
Indiana Crop Conditions
The government report says: In Indiana, hot, dry, sunny weather continued, and did much injury to all growing crops corn is suffering much, and the prospect for a fair yield is much reduced in the north portion, where rain fell in localities, it still promises well and is of good color, but, in general, it is in a critical condition, being in silk and tassel in some fields the tassels are burned white, and beyond redemption by rain the blades are twisting and curling, and in some fields they are turning brown on bottom lands the corn is suffering less, and rain soon would recover it but on clay lands, in high ground and sandy soil it is much injured, and too far gone to be saved by rain.
Tobacco grows very slowly and suffers much. Potatoes are almost ruined. Rye and wheat threshing are nearly done, and many very good crops have been secured. The oats harvest is done, and threshing begun. Many wells are getting dry.

While trying to steal a ride to Danville, 111., on the Big Four, Nig Seiing was so unfortunate as to slip, suffering a broken hand as a consequence. He won't be able to steal rides now for several weeks, the injury being very painful.

May Allen Is Fast.
May Allen, the beautiful chestnut mare formerly owned by rthur Davis, of Ladoga, and Campaigned by him last year, won the 2:23 trot at Columbus, O Monday, going the last mile in 2:09i. May Allen is by Que Allen and is six years old. She was bred by Elijah Batman, of Roachdale, who sold her to Dr. Batman, of Ladoga, when a colt. During the time Dr. Batman owned her a gentleman of this city held an option on her for $115, but refused to take her at that price. She was then sold to Davis and Wilhite at Ladoga, and began to show speed from the first and last year got a record of 2:24. The Indianapolis
Sentinel
says
of the race: "Indianapolis horsemen are elated over the victory of May Allen at Columbus, O yesterday, when she captured the 2:23 trot, winning for her owner, Mike Reardon, of this city, $5,000. This mare is six years old, was sired by Que Allen at Ladoga, lnd., and was purchased by Mr. Reardon last fall for $3,000. Mark Wil?on, the famous trainer, has been working her out at the fair grounds track th spring, and it is said she has made the mile in better than 2:11 in easy fashion, finishing strong.
Dr. Manker, who is one of the best judges of harness horses in the country, said to a
Sentinel
representative last
night: 'May Allen is the coming trotting mare of the country. She is a chestnut mare, stands fifteen hands and an inch high, and has the prettiest trotting gait of any mare that ever pulled a sulky. Her movement excels that of Alix, who in her day was said to be tbo most beautiful trotter on the turf. May Allen will in all probability go better than 2:05 this summer. She is entered in several big stakes in the Grand circuit. 1 consider her the best mare in the United States to-day. Reardon was offered $5 500 for her several weeks ago, but refused the offer. She is worth 810,000 to-night. Her sire, Que Allen, was sold to European parties three years ago for 810,000.' "Several Indianapolis horsemen went to Columbus yesterday to witness the races, and it is said they cleaned up a good sum on May Allen's victory."
Dan Patch also won the 2:16 pace in three straight heats, the best heat be ing 2:10i
Burying Soldiers.
The last legislature enacted a law wh'ch is destined to relieve any old soldier, sailor or marine of the disgrace of being buried in a pauper's grave. It provides that the township trustee must allow $50 for the proper burial of any indigent old soldier, sailor or marine or his wife. Now comes the trustee of Wabash township, Tippecanoe county, in which is located the soldiers' home, with a plea to the effect that if his township is compelled to bury the indigent soldiers at the home his bailiwick will be bankrupted. Not long since an old soldier was buried at the home and the bill was sent to the trustee. He objects to paying these bills from the home on the ground that there are so many old and indigent soldiers there claiming the township as a residence that the money in his treasury will all be used up in their burial. He appealed to the board of commissioners of Tippecanoe county but they can afford him no relief. Attorneys tell him that there is no escape from the law and he will have to bury the men in proper shape until the law is changed.
Numerous Fires From Sparks.
During the intensely dry and hot weather of the past few weeks,in which practically no rain has fallen, there have been numerous fire losses caused farmers by sparks from passing locomo tives. Engineers and firetnen tell of a number of hay crops and fences along their runs which have suffered. Trainmen are unable to prevent such occurrences and they can be prevented only by watchfulness on the part of the farmers. S

HOWARD'S HARD LUCK.
Crawfordnvlllc Boy Is Up Against It In Buffalo—Whtle Trying to Locate a Thief He Is Robbed Himself.
Buffalo, (N. Y.,)
Whitney Place. They were down town when the theft was committed. The police believe the theft is the work of the mysterious womun who has been operating extensively in Hats of late with a duplicate key. The reason the police believe the job was done by a woman is because practically only the things taken were those either worn or owned by Mrs. Sergeant, while Sergeant's effects were loft untouched, although in the same room.
Sergeant began his tour of investigation into the robbery of the powder immediately upon his arrival. He worked on the caso for several days, but could ascertain nothing that would enlighten the officials of the company as to who stole the powder. The powder was valued at 40 cents per pound, making a net value of about $400. The police of this city were notified of the robbery by Sergeant, but they failod to learn anything. Sergeant had made up his mind to leave Buffalo last evening with
M-s. Sergeant for Pittsburg. Shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon he and his wife started on a trip down town. It was after 5 o'clock when they returned, and Mrs. Sergeant upon going to her room discovered that a dress suit case already packed for removal had been stolon. The case contained one black silk dress, one blue skirt, a new pair of shoes, a pair of hand-paint-ed opera glasses and some other articles worn by women. The stuff was valued at$125.
Upon the discovery of the theft she immediately notified her husband and he told tho police. The polico learned that a Mrs. Buskirk keeps the apartments. She soys that shortly after Mrs. Sergeant left she locked the front door and returned to the rear of the house. A few minutes later a man rang the bell and delivered a dress suit that had just been cleaned for Sergeant. It was while Mrs Buskirk was in the rear of her home that the theft was committed. She saw no one enter the place and heard no one moving about. The queer thing about the affair is that the thief did not touch a purse, containing some money, nor some jewelry which were on the mantel. None of Sergeant's effects were stolen. Now the police are exerting themselves in an endeavor to locate the mysterious woman with the duplicate key.
Mr. Studley's Successor.

at the Trestle.
Wednesday at the Big Four trestle where tho arch is being constructed a wire cable used as a guy pulled a tree up by the roots and fell across the west abutment where eight men were at work. John Brady was caught on the head by the cable, making a severe gash, and the big wire then slipped down over his shoulder and right arm, badly bruising them. W. J. McKay was caught on the foot, that member being bruised severely.£ Dr. Ensminger was called and dressed the wounds and both men were taken home. Their Injuries are severe but no bones wore broken.
Asks For a Divorce
William A. Vancleave, of Highland, last Tuesday filed papers in the circuit court asking for a divorce from bis wife, Pearl E. Vancleave. The plaintiff states that he was married to tho defendant May 8, 1901, and that on July 3, she took her clothes and left him and the state, saying that she never would come back. He states that she was guilty,of cruel and inhuman treatment and told him that she no longer loved him and refused to be loved by him, notwithstanding that he begged her to stay and live with him.
