VOTE BUYING CASE.

A Brief Filed By the Attorneys of tlarry Baum.

Indianapolis Journal: A reply to Deputy Attorney General Hadley's brief in the Baum vote selling case, appealed from the Montgomery circuit court, was filed in the office of the clerk of the supreme court yesterday by Irwin C. Dwiggins and Clodfelter & Fine, of Crawfordsville, attorneys for Baum. Mr. Hadley urged in his brief for the state that the nature of a crime and not its penalty, fixed its infamy. In the reply brief filed yesterday Baum's counsel quoted Judge Dillon's decision in the case of the United States vs. Maxwell (3 Dillion, 275) as declaring that in a legal sense the words "infamous crime" are descriptive of an offense that subjects a person to infamous punishment or prevent his being a witness. This, the attorneys contend, was the definition of "infamous crime" accepted generally at the time the present state constitution was adopted. They say that under Mr. Hadley's interpretation getting drunk and in that condition visiting a public place might be regarded by some high-minded judges as an "infamous crime."

Morturary Record.

Last Thursday at o'clock at his home in the sexton's house in Masonic cemetery, William H. Fisher passed away after an extended illness. He was injured in the lungs by a fall last Christmas and while the hurt apparently got better for a time, it broke out afresh and he has steadily declined for some months. The funeral occurred at the home Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, interment being in the Maeonic cemetery. Mr Fisher had lived in this county all his life and leaves a wife and one son. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, in which he carried a policy for $2,000, and also of the Moose, both of which lodges participated in the funeral services. Mr. Fisher had been sexton of the Masonic cemetery for some time and was a man of many splendid traits of character.

DEATH OP A CHILD.

Robert, the four-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Edgar Stone, died last Thursday at 6:30 o'clock at the home on Crawford street, after a short illness of tubercular meningitis. There were short services Saturday morning at 7:45 at the home by Rev. S. W. Goss, of the First M. E. church, and the body was then taken to Lafontaine, in Wabash county, for interment. Robert was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Stone and the loss comes with telling force upon them. He was a bright, manly little fellow and his parents have the sympathy of their many friends in their aflliction.

He Wants to Be a Methodist.

At the session of the itinerants' school for admission to the Methodist ministry held at Battle Ground, one of the applicants was T. E. BalJard, of this city. Mr. Ballard has been prominent in the Universalist faith as a preacher, but left this church three years ago because it had passed into the hands of the rationalists. He had neglected to unite with a local Methodist church, however, and his case could not be settled at the present session but will come up later. ,•

Farmers' Institute.

The northern farmers' institute, under the auspices of Purdue university school of agriculture, will be held at Huntington August 27 and 28. H. H. Keim, of Ladoga, is down for a paper on "Shall the Small Farmer Try to Produce Beef?"

Ice Cream Social.

There will be an ice cream social at Union Chapel churcn, in the neighborhood of Balhinch, Saturday evening, Aug. 17. The proceeds will go to the church.

APPENDICITIS.

Some Facts Regarding its Rapid Increase.

Appendicitis among Americans is certainly increasing and while this is probably due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often directly traceable to constipation. Appendicitis is caused by extraneous matter entering the vermiform appendix, and not by the swallowing of seeds. If the digestive organs are kept in perfect condition so the food is duly assimilated and the bowels move gently, at least .once a day, appendicitis will never develop. Don't take chances. Regular doses of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before meals will strengthen the organs of digestion, your appetite will be good, constipation disappears and you feel better in every way. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does not relax the bowels by irritation, but by curing indigestion, the cause of constipation. Nye & Booe sell it in 50c and $1.00 bottles, under a positive guarantee. Write for book of testimonials to Pepsin Syrup Co., Dept. 5, Monti cello, 111.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Warren Swarcngen Loses Both Legs While Alighting From a Morion Freight Train Sunday

Morning.

Sunday morning at. three o'clock Warren Swearengen received probably fatal injuries while alighting from a Monon freight train at tho Market street crossing.

The unfortunate young man is twenty years of age and is a son of Charles Swearengen, of Crawford street. He had been employed until about two weeks ago as lineman for thej'Home telephone company, leaving its employ to take a position with the long distance company. He was working last week with a gang near Danville, Ind., and in the evening started for home to spend Sunday. He reached Greencastle and there finding through freight train number 83 about to pull out, he climbed into a box car. In the car he found a tramp and the two men rode together as far as Crawfordsville. For some reason Swearengen did not get off at the junction but»conc.luded to wait until the Market street crossing was reached. When this place was approached he opened the west door and holding onto the iloor of the car with his elbows he swung his legs down until his feet rested on the hog chain, the long iron bar extending under tho car from one end to the other. Bracing his feet against this ho gave himself a swing to throw himself several feet away from the train, which was then running only four or live miles an hour.

Had it not been for an. unlooked for acoident he would have succeeded in his calculation. Just as he threw his weight against the hog chain and let go the lloor of the car with his elbows the heel of his shoe pulled off by reason of the weight thrown against it and caused him to slip under the wheels. His right leg was crushed to a pulp and his left foot horribly crushed and mangled. The tramp who had been in the car with him saw him slip and heard his Bhriek as he went under the wheels. He at once leaped from the car himself and ran at full speed to the station whflre he informed Conductor Morgan and Engineer Frank Tyler, who had stopped for water, that a man had been badly hurt or killed by the train a little way back. They inquired of him how the accident had occurred and on learning declined to sacrifice their time to go back. They telephoned the police station, however, and also called up Dr. Ensminger, the road's surgeon. Having given the alarm the tramp disappeared, probably going back to his car. No one saw him after hejiotified the trainmen of the accident and Swearengen, who rode with him from Greencastle, has no idea who the fellow was.

Officer Clarence Patton was the first man to reach the victim of the accident who lay in a pool of blood just north of the crossing. He was groaning piteously and stated to the officer that he had lost his legs and regretted that he had not been killed outright. Officer Doyle, who had 'phoned for a cab and had notified the father of Swearengen, soon arrived with several other people and the mangled boy was placed in a conveyance and taken home. He begged to be taken to a hospital or boarding house, declaring that he did not wish to give his father and Bister trouble, but his wish in this matter was, of course, disregarded.

At the home Dr. Ensminger assisted by Dr. Ristine, amputated the boy's right leg at the knee joint and his left foot just above the ankle. Tt was thought that the patient would hardly survive the operation, and both before and after it he expressed a desire to die. All day Sunday he seemed on the point of death, and had the end occurred at any hour the physicians would not have been greatly surprised.

Warren Swearengen is the son of Charles Swearengen, an employe of the coffin factory. His mother is dead and he has one brother, Walter, and one sister, Mrs. Alva Moore. He has always been an industrious young man and a general favorite among his friends.

S. A. Stilwell, who was born and raised in Montgomery county, being a son of J. M. Stilwell, of New Market, has been nominated on the Republican ticket in Warren county, Ohio, for auditor. His election is a foregone conclusion, as the normal Republican majority in that county is 1,600. He has been a resident of Ohio since 1886.

CARRIE IS PAINED

Bccause Her Hateful Husband Has Entered a Suit Against Her For Divorce.

A Topeka reporter interviewed Mrs. Nation, Friday afternoon, at her home in that city. She was somewhat shocked to learn that her husband had begun divorce action. "I didn't know it. Do you know the name of his lawyer? Well, I'll tell you. Let me show you. I have a letter his son wrote to him from Texas. I'm not surprised much. I've beenilookingfor it."

And so she continued in broken sentences for five minutes, when she paused for a moment's reflection. "I married him twenty-five years ago at Holden, Mo," she resumed, "and all my friends were opposed to the match. All the time he has been an incumbrance upon me, and 1 have no respect for him. I have lived a falsehood by holding out to the world that I did respect him, and now that he has gone his way, I am rather glad of it. I feel a great relief. No, I will not oppose the divorce unless he makes falte charges. If he charges-desertion I will fight. Oh, yes, I'll appear, to see that my rights are taken care of. But why does he sue for a divorce? He has no use for a divorce. Why, he is an old man of 73, and can't expect to marry. Wny, I who don't want a divorce, have more use for one than he," and she smiled complacently. "He might have stayed with me to the end of his days. I was taking good care of him. I paid his board and rent while he was here when he left me he took his pension of $20 a month and $400 in cash. It was all we had, but 1 didn't complain. I can take care of myself—you know that while he, poor, old man, muat have the support of his friends, and I am the best friend he ever had. That is all 1 have to say. I leave this evening for Kansas City. From there I go east to fill lecture engagements in Ohio, New York, Illinois and Tennessee."

Goes to Alaska.

Lee Brown, son of G. W. L. Brown, has been selected as one of eight from the United States signal corps for service in Alaska. He will start for his new station in a few days from Fort Myer, Va. There were fifty applicants for this service, and as Brown had been in the service only three months his selection is a compliment to his standing in the corps.

Still Unselected.

Supt. Walkup has not as yet secured the second of his institute workers and will wait until the middle of the month before making a choice, unless he in the meantime gets the promise of a strong man he is now endeavoring to get. Prof. Ely, the worker already un der contract to come, Is one of the best workers in the state.

Married.

Clarence M. Burk and Nora L. Augustine were married by 'Squire Stilwell on Saturday evening.

The Glorious Fourth In Australia

Prof. Orlando IT. Baker, late of this city, and now U. S. consul at Sidney, N. S. W., seems to have celebrated the glorious Fourth in good style. The morning Herald of Sidney says: "The Stars and Stripes floated over a great part of Sidney yesterday, the colors being likewise conspicuous on the waters of Port Jackson, in celebration of the anniversary of American independence. The U. S. cruiser Brooklyn, lying in Farm Cove, the U. S. transport Celtic, and the various American merchantmen in port, were all profusely decorated in honor of the day. The American consulate, in Martin Place, was a scene of animation during the morning, numbors of leading residents, including tho lieutenantgovernor, members of the government, the chief magistrate of the city, representatives of both houses of the legislature, public officials, and private citizens calling upon the United States consul, Mr. H. Orlando Baker, to pay their compliments on the great national anniversary. The visitors commenced to arrive at 10 o'clock, and the reception did not conclude before 1 p. m. A feature of the function was the large number of American citizens who called to tender their congratulations, and to exchange greetings with the representative of their nation on its natal day."

An Attractive Den.

Dumont Kennedy has improved the opportunity afforded him by the vacation by constructing a very attractive log ''den''at his home just south of town. The house has as its star feature a boulder chimney and fire place that would do credit to a $25,000 mansion. The atones for its construction were all of them carefully selected by Mr. Keunedy and were grouped with telling effect. On the interior the cement work is hidden by Indian arrowa and other curious stones imbedded in ite surface.

Hla Deputies.

Sheriff elect Charles McCulloughhas announced George W. Wasson, of this city, and Jason Phelps, of Darlington, as his deputies. Mr. Wauson will be in the office and Mr. Phelps will act a* turnkey at the jail.
