THE GOLDEN RULE

SMASHED ON THE CURB.

Dr. Jones' Horse Wrecks His Handsome Phaeton After a Lively Run.

Just before six o'clock last Tuesday a sensational looking runaway began on east Main street and a minute later ended on Washington street. Dr. O. H. Jones and wife were driving oast on Main street in their pbaiton, when the horse, a young and lively animal, got his tail over the lines and began to kick. One hoof was thrown over the dashboard and became caught there. This terrified the animal and he ran ahead on three legs, struggling and kicking to disengage the hoof tangled in the dashboard. He turned south on Washington and there struck a trap driven by some ladies. Neither vehicle was overturned, however, but it freed the leg of the horse and he then began to kick and plunge viciously. His hoofs flew dangerously close to the faces of Dr. and Mrs. Jones, who retained an excellent and saving presence of mind and did not try to get out. Had either moved forward in this attempt death would probably have been the result as the horse was kicking madly. The doctor held onto the reins and managed to turn the horse into the curb at the west door of Murphy & Company's clothing store. The curb there is elevated nearly three feet above the street, and when the horse came to it he climbed upon the walk with his fore feet and was promptly seized by a cool bystander. His fore feet being on the walk he was prevented from kicking, and very luckily so as the collision with the curb had thrown Mrs. Jones to the bottom of the pbmton where she would certainly have been killed had the horse continued to use his heels. Dr.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Jones leaped from the vehicle the moment the horse stopped and assisted Mrs. Jones out and the incident was closed. It all occurred in a very short space of time but was more than interesting while it lasted. The handsome phiuton was sadly wrecked and the doctor's medicine case was not less so, a kick from the horse having shattered and mixed the bottles very hopelessly. Neither Dr. nor Mrs. Jones was hurt seriously although Mrs. Jones sustained a bruise or two.

Well Known Here.

George L. Inman, of Champa?gn, 111., who was instrumental in putting "Corn King" Phillips out of business and who hao came into public notice by reason of the announcement that Phillips had over paid him $47,000 in a deal, is well known in Crawfordsville. Two or three years ago he spent a summer here making headquarters at the Sherman house and selling a "Farmer's Account Book." George Hultz and several others acted as his agents here and he acquired a large acquaintance.

An Answer.

To the Editor of The Journal.

TROPICO, Gal., Aug. 17, 1901.—I notice in your paper in the letter from Wringneck an item stating that Len Petro had deserted his wife and little girl. 1 will say that is a lie from start to finish. I am now and have been living in the same house that we went to housekeeping in the 17th of January. I will say if any of my old friends want to know what kind of a life I am leading here, if they will write me I will give them the names of the neighbors and people that go to the same Sunday school where I go. They can learn through them that my life and credit are as straight hero as in Indiana. Now while I havo the greatest respect for Indiana and all of the people in it, you can form some idea of what I think of this valley here in the mountains when I say I think it is the half way station between Indiana and Heaven. It never gets very hot or cold though to hurt the fruit. There can be strawberries picked from the vine any day in the year, and oranges, lemons and (lowers any day. Now you will think it strange that things will do so well when I say that 1 am wearing my flannel underwear and sleep under t»vo covers at night, but it is the coast breeze that makes the climate so even here.

Now I would ask that scribe who he would call the deserter, the one that stays or the one that goes. My wife didn't like living hero as well as in Los Angeles, so she moved such of the household goods that she wanted back to Los Angeles and is living there and I am living here in Tropico. Here is the last note I received from her. You can guess from it how our feelings are toward each other.

Yours respectfully, LEN W. PRTIIO.

"Los ANGELES,Cal., Aug. 11,1!)01. Well Len I received those papers. Was glad to get them. I wish you would please send them to me after you get through with them. I enjoyed them very much, indeed also enjoyed those peaches. If there has been any letters come for me I would be glad to have them. Just direct 906 W. Seventh street. M. P. E. P."

Letter From Lew.

To the Editor of The Journal.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 2fir 1901.— Once more I am out with 18 head of Percherons, Shires and Hackneys—yes I also have Mark Hanna along. Last week I was at Elwood. They had a good fair and fine weather. The horse and cattle exhibits were large. My largest competitor was Kiser & Phillips, of Keota, Iowa, and Redkey, Ind who had a car load of Percheron stallions. My winnings were eleven firsts, seven seconds and three good sweepstakos. Mark Hanna won first in pony class. I am now at Columbus, Ohio, on the finest and best fair grounds in the U. S. The new horse show building holds over 500 horses and a large arena to show in. McLockland Bros., of Columbus, are my largest competitors. They have 60 head for me to show against. This show lasts two weeks. W. COCHHAN.

Attention Fanciers.

I most sincerely request all fanciers of poultry, pigeons, Belgian hares, etc. of Montgomery county, to make an exhibit of their stock at the coming Montgomery county fair. The members of the fair association have been very liberal in creating a new premium list for Belgian hares, and earnestly entreat every one so interested to make an exhibit of their stock. Don't come with the expectation of winning it all, if you get one second you will do better than I did the first fair I ever attended with stock, but it was an educator and a school for me, as it will be for you. While judging, (and exhibiting also) I have often heard visitors say, "I have better chickens than those at home." I have often asked them what they sold them for, and their reply was invariably, the market price, 6 to 8 cents per pound. My reply to them has always been, if what you say is true, your birds are worth 50c to $1 per pound. Now there is nothing very strange about such remarks, as it is possible. Any person can raise good stock. The farm is just the place to do it, and it does not take one ounce more feed to raise a $20 chicken than it does to raise a 40 cent one, but you should be able to know it, and in order to let others know it you should exhibit your stock.

He Is paving at the County Jail With an Attack of the Jlm-Jatns.

Malachl Bill Scott, from his youth up has had a mania for hunting trouble and a genius for finding it. Tuesday, however, he encountered trouble which he neither sought nor found. It caine upon him. Malachi is a hard drinker and has an especial fondness for pure alchocol with a few lumps of blue vitrol in it to give it body. Now, while doubtless pleasing to the taste, this beveridge has an irritating effect on the "innards'" and is decidedly conducive to "snakes." About two o'clock Wednesday morning the employes of the city electric light plant heard wild shrieks which seemed to come nearer every moment. Soon they discerned the form of a man coming down the street leaping high in the air and slapping with his slouch hat at imaginary foes. It was Malachi Bill. He rushed into the engine room with his bloodshot eyes popping from his head in terror, and had he not been restrained he would have rushed into the moving machinery and ended his ornate career right there. Ho was in a wild frenzy and declared that a regiment of soldiers came hot upon his track flying through the air with the express intention of catching him and scraping his feet. That this plan was repellant to Mr. Scott was clearly demonstrated by his actions and he was not soothed until the police came and took him to jail. So loDg as the officers were with him he seemed at ease but when they departed he began raving again and Sheriff McCullough is getting a taste of the joys of life at the jail. Beforo daylight Bill had torn his clothes off and all day

Wednesday he fought wasps, snakes and other flying and creeping things.

In Memory.

The grim reaper, death, has cast its shadow of gloom over another home and has taken from it the beloved mother] of Mrs. Bell Linn, Mrs. Jose Harris and Mrs. Henry Humbert. Mrs, Mary Joh was born Jin Virginia in 1835 and moved to Indiana many years ago. She was married to Mr. Isaac Humbert and tu them were born three children. She departed this life Aug. 19, 1901, about five o'clock, p. m., to join her beloved husband, who died many years ago on the battle field, and to meet her brothers and sisters who have gone on before. She leaves two slaters, oao brother and many friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Humbert joined the M. E. church at the age of 12 and was a firm believer in the Christian religion, and at the time of her death expressed herself willing to go at the summons of her Master, and told them not to weep for her. She was a loving and devoted mother. Her life was one of gentleness, kindness and sympathy. Words cannot carry consolation to these loving children, who with sad and heavy hearts returned to their lonely home, where there is no one who can fill her place in the vacant chair or take her place in their hearts. Her funeral occurred Wednesday at 10 a. m., at the New Ross M. E., church, conducted by Rev. Adkins and Rev. Reeder. The body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellow's cemetery at New Ross. Death is everywhere. None are beyond his reach, and none are beneath his notice. Al! must die. In heaven there will be no more death. The days of her mourning are ended. Having fought the good fight and kept the faith, she having finished her course and entered into rest. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, for they now rest from all their labors, from temptation, from sin, from sorrow and from death.

Weep not, mother's toils are over. Weep not that her racc is run: God grant that we may rest as calmly,

When our work, like hers, is done. 'Till then we yield with gladness. Our mother to him to keep. And rejoice in the sweet assurance.' "He givetb his loved one sleep.

Precious mother, she lias left us, Left us, yes, forever more But we hope to meet our loved one,

On that bright ar.rt happy shore. Lonely the house, and sad the hours Since our dear one has gone: But ohl a brighter homo than ours.

In Heaven is now her own.

Likelihood of a Fruit Year.

3

Famine This

James L. Keach, of Indianapolis, the leading fruit and vegetable dealer in the state, says: •'People now are more scared than hurt by the cry of short crops of fruits and vegetables. The situation as to apples is that prices will rule firm but reasonable throughout the season. As a wholo, taking the apple producing states, together, the crop is estimated at 40 per cent, of last year's crop. This, however, is basing the estimate on last year's bumper crop. The quality of the fruit is going to be good. Late rains have already made the winter apples. 'indications now point to a good crop of late potatoes, that is about

fii

per

cent, of a orop in the potato growing states. The statos that furnish the greater part of the supply of potatoes each year are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maine. We also look to Canada when prices aro up high enough to allow of our paying a duty of 25 cents a bushel. "The localities that furnishlthe July and August supplies of potatoes are t.he Kaw Valley, Kansas, and the American bottoms in southern Illinois. Indiana usually has a good supply of potatoes at this season, but tho drought cut that supply short. Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota stock is now Improving, but digging has not yet begun geLcrally. Present prices can bo maintained but a few days longer. Within tea days digging will be general and potatoes will settie down to a reasonable price. The retail price for winter potatoes will be about $1 a bushel. "Cabbage has been higher through'* out August than it has been for several years, but prices have now begun to weaken and the outlook is that fall prices will be little if anything higher than last year. New York has an enormous crop of late cabbage, and prospects are favorable for a good yield."

Wont Pay In Clinton.

Frankfort Crcscbut. Under the law enacted by the last legislature, school teachers attending the county institute are allowed tho samo pay as though they wore teaching school. The trustees of the several townships pay the teachers attending from their townships. The Frankfort city school board, it is said, will refuse to abide by the law, one member stating that they did not intend to pay teachers for attending, and another stating that the board had nothing to pay with. There is nothing in the law providing a penalty for non-payment, nor does it provide means for raising the funds, as was the case with township institutes. So far as known none of the trustees have stated that they would not pay their teachers for attending, but it ia known that many are diasatisfied with the law.
