WERE YOU LEGALLY WED?

Unless a Certain Affidavit Was Made There Is Grave Doubt of It.

The agitation against the issuance of illegal marriage licenses in the state, coming up from the attorney-general's office, is causing serious uneasiness, not to say absolute fright, in all quarters of the state from an apprehension that hundreds of marriages which have been consummated upon such licenses irregularly issued by clerks of the various counties, are illegal and void.

Tne attack which the attorney-gen-eral has instituted against irregular marriages at Jeffersonville, upon licenses issued by the clerk of Clark county, has attracted attention to the fact that, if his interpetration of the law is correct, the clerks of every of the ninety-two counties of the state have been guilty of infractions of the statute bearing upon the issuance of licenses to marry. Upon the construction of the law in question county clerks are required to exact an affidavit, at the time the license is asked, that the "woman in the case" has been a resident of the county for at least thirty days next preceding the date of application. In his letter of advice to the state's attorney for Clark county the attorney-general distinctly set out that a justice of the peace or minister who solemnizes a marriage upon a license to non-residents of a county, such officiating officer is liable to prosecution under the law: further, that no license can be issued to non-residents of the state. At the attorney-general's office the feeling is expressed that the present agitation would without doubt lead to a revision of the marriage license law.

PRICES WILL BE UP.

But There Will Be No r-'amlne In Canned Goods.

There will be no famine in canned fruit and vegetables this winter, though the supply in some lines will be light. There has been a big pack of corn, though the quantity of the Indiana pack will be inferior. Maine, on the other hand, has an exceptionally fine crop. There is an abundance of peaches, and there was a big pack of peas. There will be a good pack of tomatoes, and the prices will slump when it is completed. The retail price is now 12 to 15 cents per three pound can. There is only a third of a crop of apricots, and pumpkins are shy. The great demand for last year's pack, owing to the effect of the drought on early fruits and vegetables, will have an effect in keeping prices up. There is a shortage of blackberries and raspberries all over the country, and prices on pie fruits generally will be firm.

An English Edition.

New York Mail and Express: The late Maurice Thompson's "Alice of Old Vincennes" is at last to be published in an English edition by Messrs. Cassell & Co., of London. Commenting upon the book's enormous popularity in this country, Mr. Clement K. Shorter expresses, in the Sphere, his doubt of a repetition of its success in England: "The American edition of the book has been in my hands for many months, and I1 find no difficulty whatever in accounting for' its enormous sale in the United States. The story tells of the siege of a town in Indiana in the time of the American war of Independence. We have Indians enough to have furnished one of Cooper's novels, and we have the English and American soldiers at one another's throats. The very pretty story must appeal to American patriotism in a remarkable degree. But will it sell in England? Will a large English public wish to read what is here set »forth—the villainies of the Englishjsoldiers and the nobility of the Americans in the war of independence? We who'are English, while quite ready to assume the marvelously heroic qualities of all the Americans in the 6tory, are naturally tempted to hope that the English were perhaps not so black as they are painted. In any case it will be interesting to see what the very energetic firm of Cassell, a firm particu larly astute in its advertising department, will be able to do with Maurice Thompson's picturesque story."

Thompson Family Reunion. The Thompson family reunion will be held on Thursday, Sept. 5, on the old Nehemiah Thompson farm, one mile northwest of Whitesville.

CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA. FRIDAY AUGUST 30 1901-TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

NOBODY HURT.

But There Were Big Doings at the Junction Last Friday—Passenger I Train Bumped.

Last Friday the south^bound Vandalia passenger train met with an accident at the junction wnich-delayed its journey until almost noon. The train stopped just north of the crossing and after the usual signaling proceeded to cross the tracks of the Big-Four. Just as the engino went over along came a Big Four detached engine backing up east at quite a merry clip, its crew evidently oblivious to the presence of the Vandalia train in theuncighborhood. Before warning could be given the collision had occurred, the baggage and express car of the »Van train being given a coy little bump that knocked it partially off the track. At once all was confusion. Both engines were stopped by the force of the collision,neither of them having on any particular speed when it occurred. A few of the passengers yelped a little until they found that they were not hurt and not even badly shaken up. Then all hands got off and stood about looking' at the disarranged baggage car. Ollie Legg, the baggageman, was .badly bruised, but B. B. Cox, the express messenger, was not even scratched. Both got out as mad as wet hens and Engineer" Mo-

Cowan of the Big Four engine, had his hands full for awhile making explanations. Conductor Perkins was in a stew and a feeling of general disgust pervaded the air. All the loafers from the neigh borhood gathered in and kindly gave advice while the«trainmen proceeded to put things into shape to resume travel. The damage to the car was small and the engine was not hurt at all. Several trains were delayed and the?damage practically ends there.

Engineer McCowan of the Big Four was .in charge of a through freight, west bound, and had been to the station for orders. Obtaining them he started to back his engine to his train^which was east of the junction. He was not even in the cab when the accident oc curred and seems to have been woefully careless. He is a new engineer,having just been promoted to the position. It seems to be a horse on Mr. McCowun who is probably thankful that the affair was no worse.

G. A. I?. Encampment.

The G. A. R. executive committee has sent me for distribution some pamphlets containing a complete pro gramme of encampment week. It con tains the names and locations and rates per day of all hotels and private board ing houses and private residences that will take guests, also all about the free quarters, public receptions, camp fires reunions, line of march, various points of interest, etc. I will send a copy of the pamphlet by mail to any one desir ing it, or they can be had at the office of Travis & Brown. There are twenty or twenty-five going from Crawfords vllle that we know of on the Big Four train that leaves here at 8:56 a. Monday, September 9. This train will join the headquarters train at Indian apolis, leaving there at 11 a. m. and arriving at Cleveland at G:30 p. m. will be a favor to receive word from any one who intends joining the Craw fordsville party.

The fare from Cleveland to Buffalo, N. Y., to the Pan-American exposition is only $1.50 round trip by boat, and very low rate by rail, so that one can spend a day at the exposition and also take in the G. A. R. encampment with little expense. CHAS. M. TRAVIS.

Into Offfcc.

C. N. McCullough went to Indianapolis last Thursday and obtained his commission as sheriff of Montgomery county for the appointive term, beginning last Friday and continuing until January 1. On Friday he was sworn in by Clerk Kennedy and at once assumed his duties. He moved here from Brown township last Monday. Sheriff Canine will remain in Crawfordsville for about two months winding up his business, and will then return to Brown township where he will assume control of his father's farm. Mr. Canine has made a popular and efficient official and all will regret his departure from Crawfordsviile.

An Omission.

In THE JOURNAL'S sketch of the life of Benjamin Wasson, a few days since, it was not stated that A. F. Ramsey had been associated with Mr. Wasson in the organization of the Citizens' national bank. Mr. Ramsey was prominently identified with the organization of the bank of whioh he is now president.

A M. E. Conference.

The Indiana A. M. E. conference will meet in this city a week from Wednesday the guest of the A. M. E. church of this city. A large crowd will be present and the colored people are making extensive preparations for the event.

A Case to Enforce a Lien Taken Fifteen Years Ago In a Bond Case.

TWO VALUES.

Jones & Reeves Saturday brought a peculiar case dug up from the court records of several years ago and filed in the name of Mr. Reeves as prosecutor. It seems that in 188tt Manatree Pennington went on the bond of Ben Clark for $500. Ben skipped and the state came on his bondsman. The governor remitted $300 of the bond and the remaining $200 stood against Pennington's farm for some reason action never being taken. Pennington sold the farm to M. A. Itapp who in turn sold it to lOlbert Caldwell, who holds it to-day. The claim of the state with interest making a total of nearly $400 therefore stands against Caldwald who owning the farm virtually holds the bag, although Clark, Pennington, and Rapp are all party defendants.

HERE are two values to every purchase what it costs and what it pays you. Cork costs 8 cents a pound, but if you are drowning half a mile from shore, its value would not what you pay for cork, but what cork saves you." When a woman buys soaps she often confuses the two values. She sees only what she pays. She overlooks what she receives. Now a single cake of Ivory Soap pays back from ten to twenty times its cost in the saving it effects. Test it yourself I Vegetable Oil Soap. Ivory white. It floats 1

An Affecting Scene.

There was a very affecting scene at the Monon station Monday when Miss Maude l-'lunkett started on her long journey to India as a missionary. Over an hundred of her young friends and members of the Christian church were present and several songs were sung and prayers wore offered by Revs. Tharp and Crim. Miss Plunkett will sail from New York on September 4 th, and goes as a missionary of the Christian church for five years, her station being at Damroh, India. Miss Plunkett is the first lady from this city to enter the missionary work and is a capable and cultured young woman of strong Christian character. The service at the Christian church Sunday morning was also in the nature of a farewell to Miss Plunkett and was a most striking and impressive occasion.

Another Hot Game.

A PECULIAR SUIT. TEN TEACHERS LESS.

Covington and Veedersburg played the third of their serie3 of five games Sunday at Veedersburg, and a close and exciting game was furnished the large crowd present to witness it. Veedersburg won the game, seven to four, it being the first the Little Jersey's have won, and to say that the people of Berry's town were delighted is putting it very mildly. Quite a number of Crawfordsviile fans were in at tendance upon the game. The Veedersburg team has been secured as the Labor Day attraction in the base ball line, and the All Stars of this city will have all they can do to dispose of them. The game Labor Day will be called at four o'clock, after the other attractions are over, and it is expected to draw a large crowd.

At Meharry's Grove.

The rain last week did not disturb the old settleva of Fountain, Montgomery and Tippecanoe comities, who held their annual picnic and reunion at Meharry's Grove. There was an unusually large attendance at tho meeting and excellent addresses were delivered by R®v. Mr. Fowler, of Covington, and Dr. W. R. Halstead, of Frankfort, the latter's subject being "Fun on .the Farm." The day was enjoyable :n every respect.

The Union Township Force Will Materially Reduced for the Good of the Schools.

Be

Trustee Breaks, of Union township, is planning to materially reduce the number of school teachers employed in Union township by transferring several, schools bodily to the city schools and consolidating other country schools. The new graded school, for which a handsome building is now being constructed north of the city, will do awa with Vail school No. 4, Quick school No. 5, Ash Pile No, f. Hunt school No.7 bind Mclntire No. 111. The following schools will bo closed and the children transferred to the Crawfordsviile schools: Oak Hill No. 15, Herron No. 21, and Smith No. 16. Tho school in

Fiskvillo will be managed by one teacher and a part of the pupils transferred to Crawfordsviile. One teacher will be dropped at Mt. Tabor, one at Smartsburg, and one at the Stump school. Altogether thore will be a reduction of ten teachers employed in the township and not only will expenses be thus materially cut down but tho pupils will receive more efficient instruction than heretofore.

Goes to South Bend.

Dr. /.Breaks left Monday for South. Bend where he will locate for the practice of his specialty. Dr. Breaks after leaving Wabash college entered Rush medical college where he was graduated with honors. In his examination before tho Indiana state medical board he made a remarkably high grade and has shown great proficiency in his work. He has been during his vacations and since his graduation with Dr. H. E. Greene and has taKen a part in a number of successful operations.

Wants Heavy Damages.

Mrs. Laura M. Doherty, late of this city, wants solace for her recent injuries in the form of heavy damages. The Indianapolis Sentinel says: "Laura M. Doherty has sued the Indianapolis street railway company for $15,000 damages for personal injuries. She was struck by a car at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and Alabama street, Aug. 5, last, and seriously injured."
