BENJAMIN N. WASSON

The Death of an Old And Honored Citizen Takes Plsce Wednesday.

Wednesday at 7 o'clock a. m. occurred the death of Benjamin N. Wasson at his home on west College street. He had been ill for three weeks during which time he suffered greatly, death finally coming to him as a relief. The funeral will occur at the residence on Saturday morning at ten o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. George W. Switzer, of West Lafayette. The interment will be at Oak Hill. The funeral will be under the auspices of Crawfordsville Commandery, Knights Templar.

Mr. Wasson born in Bourbon county, Ky., on August 22, 1823, but when a mere lad came with his parents to Indiana, they settling near Russellville. There he was raised, attending school in the winter and working on a farm in summer. When quite a young man he embarked in the dry goods business there and soon after went to Lafayette where he lived for a year. In 1863 he became a citizen of Crawfordsville and engaged for a year in the grain business with H. S. Braden. In 1864 he, with the late William H. Durham, organized the First National bank, of Crawfordsville. Mr. Durham was president, and Mr. Wasson was cashier. For sixteen years he held this position at the end of which time he resigned. In 1881 with several other gentlemen he organized the Citizens' National bank, becoming cashier of that institution and holding the position until he resigned eleven years later. After that time he engaged in no active business.

Mr. Wasson was one of the best known Masons in the community and was a charter member of the Rqssellville lodge, organized many years ago In 1879 he became a member of the Crawfordsville Commandery, Knights Templai'.

In 1849 Mr. Wasson was married to Miss Charlotte Jane Harris, of Russellville, who survives him. One child was born to them, Mrs. Charles Goltra.

Benjamin Wasson was not only one of the best known citizens of this county but was one of the most highly esteemed and respected. He was a sterling citizen and his influence was always on the right side of every question. An exceedingly gentle man his sympathies were ever on the side of the weak and struggling and many a young man in the city has been helped materially by him in time of need. In his home life he was strong, sincere and helpful, and his death is a heavy blow to the devoted family circle, of which he was the revered head.

An Assistant Editor.

Claude H. Work, of New Richmond, and Miss Rose Shotts, of Linden, arrived in the city Wednesday and having taken out license to wed were united in matrimony In due and ancient form by Dr. Tharpe at his residence. They returned immediately to Linden where they will make their future home. The bride for some time past has been the editor and publisher of the Linden leader and the groom will unite in the editorial work with her from this time on. It will possibly be a rather tight squeeze on the Ar-gus-eyed tripod but the happy young couple won't mind this a bit.

A GHASTLY SIGHT.

A Toledo Traveling Man found Naked and Unconscious Beneath a Coffin Lowering Device.

On last Friday F. D. Douge. a well known traveling man from Toledo, arrived in the city to present for the consideration of the local undertakers a machine for the purpose of lowering caskets into the grave. The machine, an ingenious contrivance, was 3et up in Mr. Dodge's room at the Crawford house and his ?runk was placed thereon to represent the coflin. On Saturday and Monday Mr. Dodge displayed the machine to undertakers from Crawfordsville and surrounding towns and concluded to remain over Tuesday. He had been suffering considerably from insomnia and Monday morning by taking a drug was enabled to sleep until nearly noon, after losing most of his night's rest. That night he determined, it is supposed, to get needed sleep and upon going to his room took a hyperdermic injection of morphine. It was probably taken either just before or just after getting into the bath tub. Anyhow the drug acted more quickly and more potently than he had (anticipated for he fell on the floor of his room in a stupor before reaching bed or donning his night clothes.

He had left a call for six o'clock and at that hour a porter was sent to his room to rouge him. No answer was returned and after hammering some time in vain the porter left, thinking that Mr. Dodge intended to sleep all morning as he had done Monday. Between ten and eleven o'clock the chambermaids in the hall were attracted by the irregular broathing of Mr. Dodge and notified the office that something was wrong. Mr. Blair hastened to the room and after listening a moment at the door, became convinced by the loud and peculiar breathingofMr. Dodge, that he was in a serious condition. Receiving no response to a loud knock he forced the door and found Mr. Dodge lying naked on the floor at the foot of the machine for lowering coffins. Dr. Ristine was summoned at once and wijth other aid set about restoring the really dying man. Within an hour he showed signs of consciousness, and at three o'clock seemed in a fair way to recover, although he was not then out of danger.

AND WlNGATE NOT IN IT.

New Bank In the Town of His NameOther Incorporations.

Indianapolis JowrncU: When it became noised about the state house Monday that the Farmers' bank of Wingate, Montgomery county, had filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, and that Tax Commissioner John C. Wingate, one of the most prominent citizens of the town, did not appear as a stockholder except in his capacity as administrator of the Wilbur Kerr estate, Mr. Wingate's brother officers began to have fun at his expense. "It looks strange that you did not take stock in that bank," remarked Tax Commissioner Martin. "Well, I guess a fellow can't help it if he hasn't got the money to buy bank stocK," retorted Mr. Wingate. The new bank is capitalized at $25,000.

Is a Tax Payer.

To the Editor of The Journal. The Democrats who are angered by the attempt to remove Sherifl Canine from office upon the expiration of his term are especially severe on Orville C. Jarvis, who signed the petition to the commissioners. One has been uncharitable enough to remark that Jarvis has no real interest and probably does not pay a cent of taxes. An examination of the county boeks shows that] Mr. Jarvis pays on several hundred dollars worth more property than does the tax payer who calls in question his interest. This is rather in the nature of a boomerang.

Supplies for County Asylum. The requisition is now on file at the auditor's office for supplies for the next quarter. The estimates cover the following headings: Groceries, clothing, dry goods, shoes, hardware, drugs and meats. The estimate is fully, itemized and can be seen by calling at the auditor's office.

Supplies for the jail for the same quarter will be let at the same time. Bids will be received for the same on Wednesday, September 4, 1901.

OFF FOR BUFFALO.

The Red Men's Excursion Left Last Monday Night Loaded to the Guards.

The Red Men's excursion which left Monday night was one of the largest that over went out of this city, and It was a jolly, good natured one, notwithstanding that the prospect of sleeping in an ordinary car seat, stared many of them in the face. The train was made up at, Linden and backed down here on the Monon, the excursionists boarding it at the station. The train consisted of a baggago car. two day coaches, two chair cars and two sleepers, and then there was nono too much room for the crowd that sought a place to rest. The train was late in leaving here, not getting away until ten o'clock, but the Real time was lost here in making out the sleeping car and chair car tickets. The party will be gone about ten days, but with the payment of fifty cents the time may be extended for two weeks, and it is probable that many will avail themselves of this privilege. While the crowd was largely made up of people from this city and vicinity, there ware a great many took advantage of the low rate from nearby towns, and joined the party.

Among those going from this city and neighborhood were: A. S. Clements and wife, J. E. Fisher and wife, Thos. A. Munhall, wife and daughter, T. E. Albright and wife, Misses Stella Clodfelter, Helen Nolan, Donna Hulet, Mary Henderson, Ruth Oneal Shirley Maxwell, Hannah Muhleisen, Cornelia Warner, Mary Winter, Gertrude Wheeler, Sarah and Mary Armentrout, Jessie Bishop, Lulu Davidson, Messrs.

Hedge, Nathan Tucker, John Foust and two daughters, Gilbert Howell and wife, Mrs. Fred Link of Helena, Montana, F. N. Johnson and son John of Waveland, Mrs. Anna Glenn and two sons, John Vanarsdall and wife, Anthony VantLeven, and a party of twenty from Hlllsboro, Mr. and Mrs. D. P.

Word was received here Tuesday morning that the excursion train had arrived safely in Toledo with all on board well. The train was in charge of Gilbert Howell, Henry Schenck and Ed Otto, with Mr. G. L. Brown, general passenger agent of the Clover Leaf, having general supervision. One hundred and sixty-six people boarded the train at this point and between here and Frankfort seventy-five more were picked up.
