Tne annual district pow-wow of the Wabash valley comes off in Crawfordsville Aug 15, and the CoviGgton tribe is going after th prize and going after it hard. They will go over to the Hoosier Athene in forco, headed by the Covington band, and hope to bring hack the prize They will have the hottest kind of com petition from the Greencastle tribe, which will aluo be on the scene with brass band. The Covington tribe numbers 200 members and nearly all of them expect to go to Crawfordsville.

The district convention is a big thing and brings several thour-and stranger ici a ttiwn. Several of the Red Men from this city expect to attend the Crawfordsville pow-wow.

Death of an *Rrd Woman. At her home Sunday morning at half past fivs o'clock, occurred the death of Mrs Rachel Oppey, mother of Redden B. H"ff. of west Markwt street Mrs Oppey had been in failing health for some time aud the immediate cause of her demise was heart trou la. The funeral was held from the home of hereon, R. B. Huff, Tues-day morning at. 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wal lace Tharp, pastor of the Christian church.

Mrs. Oppey's maiden name was Rachel Busenburg. and she was born iu Union township in l.-'i*, boing 71 years old at th«- time of her dea'h She had lived all her life here and was one of the best known women in the community. The only child is Hoff. Mrs. Oppey was a woman of splendid character and her life was full of good works, her death being sincerely ti ourned bv those who had known of her and her long life.

A Peculiar Death.

A death under peculiar circumstances occurred at Converse, Ind., Tuesday of last week. On Saturday evening Mrs Tillie Doster, after working until she became considerably bea'ed, bathed her face, neck and arms in ice cola water. Very shortly thereafter she was seized with a nervous shock which soon developed into lockjaw, followed by spinal meningitis

A Lucky Crawfordaville Boy. John Vancieave, of this city, was one of the lucky persons in the drawing for lands in the reservations opened for settlement last week.

He will settle on the land, which is the regulation quarter section of 160 acres.

A north Green sti eet druggist Fnrni various parts of the e. untry have come reports this summer of the poisoning of children by drink ng from -aucers in which fly paper had been put As the material very frequently us for th is id of the deadly amanita mu.-caria, which, indeed, heats Its name from this very fact, that there is no known cure unless ihe mischief is immediately oii-covered. While simple and effective, this way of getting rid of flies is by no means safe, and there is si ill room for some clever inventor to improve upon it

The welt-soled Colonial shoe is the shoe par excelletce, the dealers say, «nd will be the shoe for this fall. The fall styles and shapes are beginning to come in. This shoe, with the high tongue and big buckle, is exceedingly ai tractive, and lighter varieties of it are made f..r houi-e shoes. The genuine Colonial fhoe has the welt sole, for it is to be given out door wear, as it was our litue Colonial sisters some hunred years ago. The shoes can be purchased without scruple, for it is pri ph-.-ied that they will be as popular next pring and summer as they are this •eason.

''Not many persons know why watches get out of fix so easily in hot weather," said a local jeweler to day.

The mechanir-m of a watch is easily affected by the heat and the springs -vi 11 expand the same as railroad iron does. When this occurs a watch will not keep the correct time and it is hustled off to the juweier to be repaired. Hot weather alwajs improves the

''This is the season of the year vhen .-tockhuyers experience great ffioulty in shipping hogs to the -astern markets," said a local stock nuyer to-day. About eighty hogs are rowded into a single deck car and if me lies down or is especially fat, it is almost sure to smother. When a car oad of bogs is put on ihe market, all lead and injured ones are sold to the allow and fertilizer manufacturer and scarcely e\er bring more than a dollar.

This amount will not pay the cost of shipping the dead carcass that dista- ce. At, one time it was the custom of the railroad companies to allow one man free transportation each way with a car of stock, to see that they were properly watered and cared for: now they inly allow him to tide one way, he to •ay fare on the return trip. As a result the maj rity of loads get no attention except when the train crew water t.hem, and in most cases it is neglected."

There was a peculiar meeting of government inspectors here lastWednesday when such officials! of different departments gathered accidentally at the oostoHice. W. T. B^letcher, of Indi anapolis, postoffice inspector, was here going over the books, when in walked Mr. J. M. Mcintosh, of Connorsville, national bank examiner. A conversation had hardly started when James M. Gambie, of Princeton, special agent of the revenue department, happened in. Politics was under discussion when Herman Lowes, of Lafayette, a government pension examiner, made his appearance. None of these gentlemen was aware of the other being in the city and all regarded it as very queer that they should all strike here at the same time.

Said a gentleman who has pafd a great deal of attention to the weather and kept a weather record for over fifty years:"Last Thursday was the first time that it has not rainpd on the first day of August for fifty-seven years, would have bet any amount of money Thursday that it would have rained before midnight, but I am glad now that I didn't. They say all signs fall in dry weather, and there was one that failed that had held good for over half a century in this part of the country."

Frank Maxwell: "We had a very pleasant visit to the exposition at Buffalo and found the show up to our expectations. The trouble with the at tendance seems to be that the railroad rates are too high and until they are lowered it will not be materially Increased The electrical display is fine and is worth going to see If there were no other attractions. The accommodations for ivisitors are ample and the

charges reasonable except on the gioui ds, where the price of eatables is fifty per cent, higher. Most people take their lunches in with tbem."

Jimes Elmore: "'I am having a very successful canvass fur my new hook and us si on as I have sold two hundred copies wM send in the manuscript to the publishers.

1 Whom It May Concern.

To the Editor of The Journal. Wnich may not be many, but for the benefit of ihe 'ew, this is written. In tnat gushy, mushy write-up of he Tip-t'ln-MeLiughlin elopement from New Ross, in last week's pauer, the writer was surely laboring under some delusion. Or, perhaps, like the common barnyard fowl, was trying to outcrow some contemporary, and thought from tne fu-s he was making, could even overshadow the bard from Ripley townsh It wou'd seem his witticisms di'i not end on the "delectable" Mr Bratton, hm. fairly ''effervesced" when he eulog z.-d our various, innocent, townspeople

As to the part that was played in the affair by outside parties, am sure Mr. McLaughlin will compliment my court e-y by substantiating this statement. The ouly part I ever placed in the drama was to call for the young laly oncc, and once only, and taking her a short distance from her home she met her lover by mutual arrangement I did this against my wishes, but young Mc. enticed me with toothsome con fections, and out of courtesy to him I consented, and have incurred, by so coIng, the everlasting enmity of the overlonded cigar Tipton papa. I do not offer this as an apology—I have no regrets in the matter—but do not like to be hoisted before the public as hest man in a seemingly unpopular affair, and take so little part In it, so I wiite this in defense. Perhaps thi? sensa tional author has had a love affair of his own that.did not have the tradi tional Lochinvar endii g, and In his '"hallucination" has failed to gather the facts in his tale of woe.

EAST WALNUT.

Jim Is Gaining rauie.

In a column write-up the New York Sun sajs in part: ''Many students of contemporary American literature believe that Indiana is now its center. Nowhere else in the Uni-ed States is the output so rich and various in quality or so filling in quantity in proportion to population.

Names like Wallace, Riley, Tarkington, Major, may be said to be on every lip and on many billboards, and there are other Indiana authors who are not much less famous and revered. What lover of American poetry does not know by heart the works of Mr. James Byron Elmore, of Alamo? He cultivates a fai as well as poetry He also cultivates independence Booksellers, tho?e proverbial grinders the faces of poets, are not allowed to come between him and the profits his muse. He sells his books from door to door. Thus he shows himself to be a true descendant of the old minstrels and raphsodists the traveling men of song.

Far different from them, however, he is a solid c.'tizen. He has a stake in the soil. His itinerancy is but an avocation or a whim. His most pleas ing poems, if not his greatest, are bucolic or idyllic. In the spring thousands of Hoosiers take his 'Ode to Sassafras' as a delightful substitute for 'spr ng medicine' or 'sarsaparilla

Announcement Unauthorized. Noblesvilie Ledger: The Indianapolis Neivs of Friday announced that S. Baldwin, of this city, is a candidate for congress in the Ninth district. Mr. Baldwin had not heard of the announcement when a Ledger reporter called on him at his home Saturday. He said: "I did not know a thing about it. I have no idea who put it in, or from what source it came. It was not authorized by me. However, I will say that I have been asked many times by prominent residents living In other counties in the district whether or not I would be a candidate for congress Some of the requests were made to me personally and others through letters. Some promised me their support and others desired to know only for information. To all I have answered that the time has not yet arrived for me to give out definite Information on this subject, but It Is barely possible that I will enter the race."

Big Increase In Stamp Sales. The report of the stamp sales for the month of July just passed at the local postoffice show receipts of $1,449.44, an Increase of 8264.28 over the corresponding month of last year, when the receipts were 81,185.16.

What 5. 5. Sm Does for Children

Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of diseases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the lungs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school rooms and other public places they .come in contact almost daily with others recovering from or in the first stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine against the balance of the world, and the best you can do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have perhaps learned from observation or experience that healthy, robust children (and this means, of course, children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak, emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease that comes along. This is because their blood is lacking in all the elements necessary to sustain and build up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood is unable to perform its proper functions.

Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give Strength and vitality to their blood, andS. S. S., being a purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic for children it increases their appetites and strengthens the digestion and assimilation of food. If your children have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood, give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any information or advice wanted this will cost you nothing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to recovery. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.
