LEGISLATURE WILL ACT.

Law Against Anarchy May Be Enacted In This State.

Unless congress enacts a law against anarchy, an effort will be made to pass one in the Indiana legislature next I year. State Senator Charles N. Thompson will probably be at the head of the movement. "Stringent measures must be enacted to meet such cases as these." he said. "Unless congress takes some I action, I intend to make an earnest effort to see that a bill is introduced in the senate. But I believe congress will heed the public sentiment that has been aroused and pass adequate laws.

Anarchy should be made a felony, and capital punishment should be provided for assault on the President. The bill should not prohibit free expression of thought or criticism on forms of government, but should make it a crime when the speaker goes so far as to advise destruction of the nation."

ROMANTIC COURTSHIP.

Qulncy Roach, of Missouri,"J Finds a Bride Here and Does It In a Hurry.

VOL. 54—NO. 39 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY SE1T11MI5KR 27 1901-TWELVE PAGES TAUT SECOND

There was quite a romantic little courtship here a few days ago, and while neither the bride nor the] groom were Crawfordsville parties, both are well known h^re and the story of their union is worth theltelling.

Quincy Roach is a wealthy banker who lives out in California, Mo., where he has an elegant home and all that the heart can desire in the way of things material. Last March his wife died, leaving him a childless widower seventy-eight years old. Before she answered nature's last call she summoned Mr. Roach to her bedside and told him that it was her wish that he marry again as he was a -well preserv ed and hale old man who would doubtless live some years yet, and who needed the loving care that only a true and devoted wife could bestow. Stricken with grief at her loss, Mr. Roach gave little thought to the advice beyond commending its sweet unselfishness and went about his business a sad' dened man. Not long ago, however, he concluded to come to Crawfordsville to visit Major Foote and wife, he being an old friend of theirs. While here he ascertained that a cousin of his wife was also visiting here, a Miss Anna Sunderland, of Wabash. She was vis iting the family of D. N. Morgan and Mrs. Ira McConnell, she being a relative of the Powers family. Mr. Roach had not seen Miss Sunderland for many years, although he had written her letter at the time of his wife's death, and he lost no time in calling at the home of Mrs. McConnell to see her. That he was delightfully impressed with her is attested by the fact that he made a request of Mrs. McConnell the following day that he might be permitted to call again that evening and that she so arrange matters that he might have a few minutes private conversation with Miss Sunderland. He called and during the course of the evening Mrs. McConnell and her mother, Mrs. Kiser, adroitly managed to draw the others who were presenttemporarily from the room. When they returned within half an hour

Miss Sunderland informed them that Mr. Roach had proposed marriage to her and had given her until nine o'clock the following morning to make up her mind. He had urged his case warmly and eloquently and had simply scouted at her protest that she could not think of marriage before the springtime. He had argued that as he was here and she was here there wasn't any reason in the world why they shouldn't be married that night. The following morning, however, Miss Sunderland made Mr. Roach supremely happy by accepting him and they would have been married here had not the clerk informed them that the Indiana statutes provided that the bride must be a resident of the county where the license is issued. Mr. Roach did not take kindly to this law and went with Miss Sunderland, to the home of his brother, Judge Addison Roach, of Indianapolis, expecting to be married there. But the same obstacle was encountered there, and resolved to be no longer hindered by a very absurd statute, the happy couple hied them to Wabash where the knot was duly tied. They have now gone to Missouri where Mr. Roach has an elegant home. His bride is a handsome and accomplished lady who, while some years his junior, is old enough to be married and who will make him an admirable wife.

FATAL ECONOMY.

MADE A SQUEAL.

James E. Norman Wonts Money Lost In a Gaming House at New Ross.

Last Saturday in the court of Squire Stilwell came up the case of Mrs. Mary Norman against Tom Bronaugh and Dave Sparks, of New Ross. She charges that her husband, James E. Norman, was in the habit of frequenting the gambling den operated by the. defendants in New Ross, and that several months ago ho lost the sum of $27" while bucking the tiger, Bronaugh and Sparks getting the money. Norman him self and several others were on hand as witnesses and the case was brought under the statute providing that money lost in gaming can be recovered. When the case was called the plaintiff's attorneys dismissed the action, it having been improperly brought in a justice court. It was filed this week in the circuit court.

Tribute of a Mlssourlun,,

Congressman Lanrlis, referring to toe lovable traits of President McKinley, recalls a visit to the white house when Governor Dockery, of Missouri, was in congress. They met the President together, and upon withdrawing, Con-gressman-Dockery said: "Landis, 1. am a Missouri Democrat, but I want to say to you that that man upstairs whom you Republicans elected President is the sweetest, gentlest, most lovable character that it has ever been my fortune to meet in public life." And whan he spoke there was a moisture in his eyes that showed that he felt what he said. Congressman Landis expresses entire confidence in Roosevelt. "He has been impetuous," says Mr. Landis. "but responsibilities will make him conservative, and I believe he will signalize his administration by making a war on anarchy that will extirpate it root and branch. I want him to retain enough of the Rough Rider in his personality to do that."

^Afterthe Law Breakers. The Indiana state veterinary association met in the agricultural rooms of the state house in Indianapolis last Friday and took action looking to the prosecution of all who are violating the new veternary law by illegal practice. A committee was appointed to employ an attorney. There are said to be 435 non-graduates practioing in the state, who believe they have complied with the law by registering. Members of the association say that not more than fifty of the above number are qualified to practice, leaving about three hundred and seventy-five unqualified practitioners in Indiana.

TO BE CONSTRUED.

Trouble In Relation to Carrying Out the Provisions of C. E. Davis' Will.

There is a strong probability that the property of the late Charles E, Davis will not bo disposed of according to the provisions of his last will and testament. Legal complications have arisen which have resulted in his executor asking the court to construe the will and Judge West will take the matter up this week. It seems that the bulk of the property left by him was in the form of life insurance and certain laws of at least one of the companies provide that the benoficiaries must bo his next of kin. it seems also that a change in the beneficiaries stipulated in the policy has also caused a complication. If the court holds against the heirs named in the will the property which remains after paying Mr. Davis' debts will go to his brothers, Joe and Ike. and the children of his sister, Mrs. Wilhoit.

A Good Showing.

The number of deatbs reported In the state for the month of August was 2,!).'12, making a death rate of 13..i. For the corresponding month last year there were 3,221 deaths, which is a death rate of 14..'I. Compared with the preceding month, July, there is a decrease in the number of deaths of 2.10. This decrease as compared with July, corresponds quite satisfactorily with the morbidity reports, which show a marked decrease in disease prevalence. The number of deaths under 1 year of age was (521, from 1 to 5 inclusive 34."5, 65 years and over, «21. It will be noted that the number of deaths under one year of age was 21.2 per cent, of the total number.
