CR0P1BULLETIN.

Weekly Record Shows General Extent of Recent Rains.

The crop bulletin of the United States department of agriculture for the week ending Tuesday shows the crop conditions and rainfall for Indiana as follows:

The deterioriation of all late crops continued until Saturday and Sunday, when copious showers thoroughly drenched the greater portion of the state, and the vigorous growth of lowland and late-planted corn will be materially improved, with prospects of a fair aggregate yield. Pasturage failing, many tarmers began cutting the early crop for forage, and stock feeding became mord general than during the previous week. The drought damage to late potatoes and garden and field vegetables, it is feared, has been permanent, but hopes are entertained for a better tomato yield than expected. Tobacco continued in au unsatisfactory condition, with prospects of a light yield some of the crop in Randolph county is being housed. While apples continue falling, the prospects are still Talrly good: other fruits suffered from drought, both in size and quality.

In spite of the heavy rain about dark, nearly fifty light-hearted young people from the surrounding country were present. They were charmingly entertained by Miss Bessie, who was assisted in the parlor by Miss Allen, of Waveland, and Miss McClain, of Marshall. Elegant refreshments were served by Mrs. Gilliland, after which the young people repaired to the dining room where musicians were waiting, and the bridal pair led the dancing.

DROWNED IN A TUB. A NEW SHERIFF.

A Two-Year-Old Girl Meets a Tragic Death at Ladoga Yesterday.

Yesterday a very sad accident occurred at Ladoga by which the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elva Clark lost her life. The little one had been left in the door yard of the house at play while Mrs. Clark went into the garden near by to gather some vegetables for dinner. She was gone but a short time and on returning was horrified to find that the child had in some way climbed up the side of a tub full of water, which had been sitting in the yard, and had fallen in. The body was lying on the bottom still in death. Mrs. Clark screamed frantically for help and lifted the dripping form of her loved one from the tub. Moaning in the agony of her grief and perfectly frenzied by the calamity she hugged the body of the child close to her bosom and refused to give it up to the neighbors who rushed in attracted by her cries and who wished to apply those restoratives usually employed in the case of drowning. Finally the body was taken by force from the distracted parent and for nearly an hour it was worked with in the hope of restoring the spark of life. The effort was in vain however, for the child was dead beyond recall. Tho parents are almost prostrated by their grief and the tragic event has saddened the entire community.

United In Marriage.

Miss Edith Rettinger and Mr. William Smith were united by the holy ties of wedlock by Rev. Lute Dunbar last Thursday evening at eight o'clock at the home of the bride, four and onehalf miles northeast of Darlington. The bride was dressed in white swiss, trimmed in silk lace and satin ribbon, and the groom wore the usual black. Immediately after the ceremony they entered the dining room where the table was beautifully decorated with flowers, and refroshments'consiating of ice cream, cake and pie were served. After supper the bride and groom repaired to the parlor where they received congratulations. Over sixty guests were present and before all had eaten supper a gun was fired and in a moment a deafening noise was heard in front of the house. After they had entertained the bridal guests ta short time with their non-classical music, the bride and groom appeared Jon the porch and the "gang" was treated to cigars, after which they left the house once more in peace and quietude. Quite a number of wedding presents were presented the bridal pair. Both are highly respected and prominent young people, and their many friends wish them a long, successful and happy Mf0* A GUEST.

The County Commissioners Choose C. N. McCullough to Fill the Vacancy.

Agreeable to the oHlcial call the board of county commissioners met yesterday to take action on the sheriffalty case. The time for which D. C. Canine was elected having expired it became incumbent on the board to elect his successor. The situation was thoroughly discussed during the morning and lawyers of both parties being consulted held that a vacancy existed. It was up to the board, therefore, to make a choice, and this was finally done in the afternoon about 3 o'clock. A ballot was taken to determine the matter and C. N. McCullough,Bherift-elect, whose regular term will begin on January 1, was chosen 4o fill the vacancy. He assumed the duties of the office this morning, Mr. Canine's term expiring at midnight. As the question of there being a vacancy has been a rather mooted one, Mr. Canine has not his books in shape to turn over just at present but the board stated that it would grant him all the time he de sired, such a concession being only fair to him. He will go to work preparing his settlement at once, having decided to make no contest to retain the office until January 1.

As previously stated in THE JOURNAL Mr. McCullough's deputies will be G. W. Wasson at the court house acd Jason Phelps as turnkey at the jail. Both men are well equipped and qualified for the positions.

An Exciting Runaway.

On Wednesday Albert Stout, son of Frank Stout, was driving down the Covington hill, just out of Crawfordsville, when one of the traces came undone and the horse taking fright ran off.

Albert was thrown out and suffered a number of ugly cuts and bruises, his collar bone being badly sprained. The horse ran on into town and after running into a wood wagon on Market street, fell over a mortar box on Grant avenue, demolishingoit. The horse was found -in the wreck of the box badly torn and in a dilapidated condition generally.

J. T. Rush.

Jesse T. Rush died at hisi{home in New Market, the morning of the 19th, 1901. He was born in this county at the old home place, five jmlles west of New Market, July 19th, 1841, his age at death being 00 years and one month. December 20, 186( he was united in marriage to Sarah M. Wilkinson, and to them six children were born, all of whom are living and present at this time, George G., James F., Lewis A., Charles Jesse W., William E. With them, the mother andjwife, who for 35 years has been his faithful com panion are left to mourn thejloss.

Brother Rush united with the Baptist church at New Market in November 1886, during the ministry of Rev. W. T. Cuppy.

In the time of our country's peril brother Rush, then but a boy, enlisted in Company C., 40th Regt., Ind., Vol., Nov. 15th, 1861, serving in this command until February 15, 1864, when he re-enlisted until the close of nthe war and was mustered out with his regiment on the 6th day of January, 1866 at Indianapolis. He was a good soldier and ready for any duty, and faithfully performed the same.

Tillman, as he was familiarly known by his friends and neighbors, has resided in this county all his life, with the exception of a short time in Missouri. He was well known»*in this township and highly respected and esteemed as a citizen. Brother [Rush has been one of those characters, whose life has always stoodl for the best moral interest of his] community. He was a good kind[neighbor and friend and was always ready] to respond in the hour of need or| distress. As to his home life, those ofjthe family circle are^more intimately acquainted. His home was his joy and for it he lived and everyjenergy was for its happiness, but shut and closeted from the world he met bravely and cheerfully the disappointments and-'reverses and encouraged his loved ones »and was their counselor.

Brother Rush was taken sick something like a year ago, and from this sickness he never rallied. He realized that recovery was. impossible and waited patiently and in the full assurance of faith, until the ferryman, with the boat touched the shore of time and took him across the river. He gave every assurance to his family.|]and to his pastor, Brother Fuson, that all was well. X.
