Which Had Some of the Features of a Kidnapping Case.

A sensational episode which had some of the features of a kidnapping case took place at the Robbins House last week. The parties interested were Mrs. Anna Dennis, of Colorado Springs, Col., and her daughter, Miss Lulu Dennis. Mrs. Anna Dennis is the divorced wife of Sylvester Dennis, of Denver, Col., who is the son of the late M. P. Dennis, of this city, by his first wife. When a divorce was granted to Mr. Dennis some years ago in the Colorado courts the custody of the child, Miss Lulu Dennis, was given to him. Wishing her to have the advantage of a good education And the comforts of a good home he brought her to this city and placed her in charge of his stepmother, Mrs. Clarinda Dennis. It was his instructions that the young lady should not be permitted to correspond with her mother and these orders were enforced. Miss Dennis fretted under this restraint and carried her fancied troubles to friends of hers, who sympathized with her. Through these friends secret correspondence was carried on between mother and daughter. Week before last Miss Dennis telegraphed for her mother to come here. Mrs. Dennis arrived last Thursday night and went to the Robbins House, where she registered under an assumed name. Later in the evening she signed her real name. Early in the evening Miss Dennis slipped away from home unobserved and joined her mother at the hotel. Soon after, mother and daughter dispatched notes to the girl's grandmother, Mrs. Dennis. The note from Mrs. Anna Dennis thanked Mrs. Dennis for caring for Miss Lulu, and said that she would relieve her from further responsibility. In the note sent by the young lady she asked tbab her trunk, which she had previously packed be sent

the hotel

as she was going to leave with her mother. As soon as these notes came Dr. Fred Dennis went to the hotel When he appeared the mother, Mrs Anna Dennis, became highly excited and, it is said, struck the doctor in the face. After matters had quieted down a truce was patched up and the young woman agreed to come back home until her father, who has been telegraphed for, arrives from the west. Thus the matter stands awaiting future developments.

The Mad Dog Season.

This is the harrowing season of the year, when if a dog gets sick nearly everybody thinks he is rabid and dangerous. Dogs are likely to get sick in hot weather as well as at other times, and they all have to die some time. They usually get sick before they die, without regard to temperature. As a matter of fact, rabies are not as frequent in hot weather as they are in extreme cold, as the great investigator, Pasteur, is authority for the statement that a dog never goes rabid until he is bitten by a dog suffering with rabies. The idea that a dog can go "mad" or rabid from heat, lack of water, or any other cause of like nature is fallacious if Pasteur's observations can be relied upon, and he gave the matter years of careful investigation under the patronage of the French government. Dogs may get sick, have fits or get crazy, without being rabid or dangerous, and most of the talk we hear about rabid dogs is sheer nonsense. When one is bitten under suspicious circumstances, however, it is well to have the wound purified and cauterized to guard against possible contingencies. An expert examination of the back brain or the section of the spinal cord will tell if the dog has rabies, and this should always be done where there is a serious doubt.

Wrecked on a Handcar.

A colored man employed by the contractors at the Big Four trestle started down the grade last Monday on a handcar and midway was wrecked from some cause, becoming hopelessly entangled in the wheels of the car. Dr. Jones was called and patched the man up. The car had run over one of his legs, but no bones were broken, and aside from some bad bruises he was not seriously injured.

KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 10, 1899.

PEPSIN SYRUP CO. Dear Sirs:—For the past 10 years I was troubled with my stomach. About four years ago was taken down with rheumatism was not able to do a dav's work for three years. All medicine seemed of no benefit to me. A year ago I was advised to take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. I truly believe I would have died but for this medicine. My rheumatism is entirely gone and my stomach is in good condition. It has saved by life and I cannot recommend it too highly.

Yours respectfully, ELWOOD MCCRACKEN.

CARRIE NATION

Writes From Topeka Jail and Throws a Few Bouquets.

Mayor Elmore last Saturday received the following letter from Carrie Nation who is now sojourning in the Topeka, Kansas jail: 'TOPEKA JAIL, July25, 1901.—To my friends at C'rawfordsville:—l believe you would like to hear fromime from this iron cell. The papers will tell you why I am here. I have written some letters to tell the public of the shameful treatment I have had at the hands of these corrupt officials which I shall expose in due time, for right in this jail there are crimes committed, known by the sheriff, that are an outrase to decency. "I remember with pleasure the nice time I had at Crawfordsville in spite of the fall at the grounds, some marks of which I still have. Your beautiful grounds, the sea of people, the home of Gen. Lew Wallace where I saw nothing to condemn but the high fence shutting out such loveliness from the passerby. But more prominent than all else is the store of Louis Bischof, the ideal merchant. Crawfordsville will always be a historic town because of Louis Bischof, the financier and philanthropist, and Lew Wallace, the writer. Your loving defender,

CARRIE NATION."

"P. S.—I must not lorget my friends, the Elks, who were so kind to me. Now one thing one of your papers said, I was out for the money. How is it I left the oiler of one hundred dollars in Kansas for thirty-five and expenses at Crawfordsville? I will send this to your mayor who appeared to me to be worthy the honor. I am expecting the pictures I had taken at your elegant photographers." C. N.

An Internal Revenue Ruling.

D. W. Henry, internal revenue collector for this district, is sending out the following ruling of the department to county clerks:

On July 10 the commissioner of internal revenue ruled that bonds of administrators and executors, which were formerly held to be exempt as bonds used in legal proceedings, require to bfe stamped on and after July 1, 1901, in consequence of the omission of the exemption heretofore accorded to such bonds. The bonds of guardians, re ceivers or trustees appointed by the court would also be liable to tax on and after July 1, 1901, for the same reason. Other bonds used in legal proceedings such as prosecution bonds, injunction bonds, bonds to stay proceedings, bonds upon appeal, bonds upon writ of error bonds for cost, and bonds given in claim and delivery actions for property are not included in the terms of para graph seven of schedule A as amended and would not be taxable.

DIET FOR HOT WEATHER.

Valuable Suggestions Made to the Housewife.

The proper diet for the hot summer months is that which will properly sustain and nourish the human system without being overheating or too difficult of digestion. The more tired and exhausted one is, the more need to eat lightly. If possible, rest should be taken before the meal, to restore the nerve energy before the process of digestion begins. Brain workers and.all persons of sedentary habits require less food than others, and that which is most easily digested. The cooling off of the body is produced by tho evaporation of its moisture. To perspire freely it is necessary to drink freely of water, palatably cool, in order to supply this waBte.

Weak cold tea and oatmeal water are even better than pure water. The first can be drained immediately after it is steeped, and then be set aside to cool, or, better still, it may be freshly made, poured over chipped ice and served at once. Lemonade is cooling to the blood. Lemons could be used more commonly than they are to the advantage of the health. Especially should persons who use a good deal of salt or salty foods use them freely.

Starchy foods and fats give heat and energy to the body and produce flesh. It is important that fruits should be neither under nor over ripe, and that they should be kept in a cool place, where their juices will not quickly evaporate. The sweet fruits, such as grapes, dates, figs and bananas, possess high nutritive value.

The more palatably a food is propared the more nourishment it affords by stimulating the production of saliva and the gastric secretions which dissolve and digest it. Gelatine puddings are not only attractive tc the eye, but are nutritious, and furnish excellent hot weather desserts.

To Whom It May Concern.

All who are interested are invited to meet at the old Indian Creek Christian church, two miles south of New Market on Thursday, August 8th, for the purpose of cleaning off tho cemetery. Bring jour dinners and come prepared to spend the day.

I'rizo Hating 'Contest.

"They had an eating contest theother night at Pin Hook schoolhouse. "Who won'?" "Ben Splutters—he ate nine head of cabbage." "Didn't it make him sick?" "No. He just took a spoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. That prevents stomach trouble of any kind, they say."

HOW TO ECONOMIZE.

men economize so closely on

number of words in a telegram that the receiver can not understand it. This is not sensible economy. Neither is it sensible economy to ruin garments of value with cheap soap or powerful chemicals that eat into the fabric. True economy uses Ivory Soap in the laundry. It is the most of pure soap that can be sold for the money. Chemically it is as innocent as water. Yet does everything you can ask of a soap. Try it 1 ounJ'

TWO MEN INJURED.

George Sliular and Henry Bearman Meet With Accidents at the Big Four Trestle.

Two workmen employed on tho stone arch that is being constructed at the Big Four trestle met with very painful accidents last Saturday.

George Shular, the first one Injured, had gone up on the stone abutment to release a cable. When the cable loosened it knocked Shular off and he fell a distance of eighteen feet to the ground, alighting on his back among some small rocks. It was thought that he had been badly injured, but Drs. Ensmingor and Sigmond, who were called, found that his injuries were nothing^ more serious than several bad bruises about the hips and back.

About an hour after the accident to Shular happened, another and more serious one befell Henry Bearman, of Delphi, Ind. He was helping to set a stone when a piece of board that was leaning against it, flew back and struck him, cutting a deop gash in his cheek. He was brought to the Crawford hotel and given medical attention.

A Farmer's Success.

Esquire Alex Campbell, has just returned from visiting a relative whom he had not seen for about 60 years. He found him located in Logan county, 111., twenty miles north of Springfield. He went there in 1851 from near Chillicothe, Ross county, Ohio. He took with him about $1,300. He invested in 160 acres of lund and six yoke of oxen and two prairie plows, and from that start he owns throe thousand acres of good land to-day, over 2,000 in a body. The rest is pasture land. When I landed thero he had 300 head of cattle on hands. However, he had. just contracted 110 at $5.50 per cwt., averaging over 1,500 pounds, the balance of the cattle were stockers.

As for his crops he had 1,400 acres growing corn, and 600 acres of oats, all looking splendid. To this may be added 15,000 bushels of old corn. The first installment of this man's tax was $1,103.45. I could see no impropriety in comparing that part of Illinois with Egypt of old. One of the nights I spent there, I think it was the 22nd of June, we had quite a storm. A good deal of damage was done, such as blowing down fences, orchards and wind mills.

Death of James Stallard.

James P. Stallard, living near New Richmond, died Sunday afternoon of nervous trouble, aged 63 years. The funeral occurred on Monday at the home, the interment being at Sugar Grove. The deceased was well known and was a member of the 20th Indiana infantry in tho civil war.
