AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
For some months past there have tnen decidedjdifferences of opinion exisiting among the stockholders of THE JOURNAL COMPANY as to the policy of the corporation. These differences while devoid of bitterness have been wholly irreconcilable and have naturally resulted in a dissolution of the existing business relations. J. A. Greene Monday sold his stock constituting a onefourth interest in the corporation to Mrs. S. S. McCain, A. A. McCain, and F. T. McCain for theisum of $7,500 in money and now has no connection with THE JOURNAL COMPANY. Mr. Greene has been with THEJ JOURNAL since the spring of 1890, aDd was one of the organizers of the company in 1S92. He acted as city editor until the death of T. H. 13. McCain, after •which he had charge of both the local and editorial work of the paper.
Mr. Greene retains his interest in THE JOURNAL building which has never belonged to THE JOURNAL COMPANY, but has been owned by the stockholders as separate property. For the present he will have desk room in THE JOURNAL editorial office.
THE JOURNAL COMPANY has entered into an agreement to 6ell the job printing department of its plant to Mr. A. Smith and he assumed control Tuesday. He will conduct his business in THE JOURNAL building in the same manner in which it has been conducted heretofore, there being practically no change except in the management. It is well known that Mr. Smith has been at the head of THE JOURNAL'S job department for many years and that its success and growth have been very largely due to his efforts. It is therefore needless to assure the public that he will maintain the business at its present high standard.
As for THE JOURNAL it will continue to be, as for over half a century, the leading newspaper of Montgomery county, the advocate of all things that make for the prosperity and happiness of the community and an exponent of those Republican principles of government which have made our country increasingly great and strong.
ONCE more Greater New York is monopolizing a large section of the center of the political Btage. The new reform campaign has excited interest from ocean to ocean. Mr. Croker has had sufficient fear for the opposition to leave his happy home in England and return to don his armor. It is understood that he has ordered an especially long lance for the encounter and that he will ride into the thick of the knights with great display. Whoever Tammany may designate as a sacrifice, the fact remains that Richard Croker is the logical candidate when the issues are analyzed.
THE: last obstacle to the Pan-Ameri-can congress in the City of Mexico has been withdrawn. The nations of the new world will, through their delegates, assemble there for a conference that will probably mean the closer, drawing of common ties and the increase of international progress on this side of the water. It may lead to a biennial session of national representatives that will in the course of time bring about a powerful American federation.
RELIABLE statistics gathered by the state show that over thirteen per cent of the marriages in Indiana result in divorces. This is an argument not only against the weakness and the non enforcement of our divorce laws, but is also a serious reflection on our marriage laws. Both the marriage and the divorce laws of Indiana are 'aulty and both could be modified and strengthened without working a hardship on any one.
THE war department's fifty per cent, reduction in the-tariff on certain classes of agricultural implements entering Cuba will convince the islanders that America is laboring to restore the island's industries to their natural state of prosperity.
IN true democratic fashion, President Rooseveltlhas sent his children to the Washington public schools. He simply desires that they become good and patriotic Americans, nnd has warned them! against useless frilie of of fashion.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S callers nowadays are from all parts of the country and they bring good wishes and promises of hearty support. The broadness of his policy so far as outlined has aroused general satisfaction. Mr. Roosevelt's excellent beginning has inspired confidence of conspicuous Republicans, and even those of opposing political faith have not been backward in extending compliments
ONE of the best proofs that affairs in China have quieted down to the salety point is the announcement that, within a few days, thirteen American missionaries will sail from Seattle to resume their labors in the Celestial empire.
THE cruiser Cleveland has entered her new element at Bath, Me., and some of the best fighting ships ever built will soon be in a condition to join the American navy. The navy has well earned its right to expand.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY'S last will and testament, just filed, once more proved the great affection he had for the lovable woman with whom the nations of the world to-day drop tears of sorrow by his tomb.
IT will be the earnest effort of Wm. McKinley's successor to keep the tide of prosperity at the flood.
Landis to Speak at Chicago.

By the Provisions of Late President's Will All His Property Goes to lli.H Beloved Wile.
Judije Iia.v and Secretary Cortelyou Have Been Chosen to Administer the Estate.
THE CRAWFORDSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Canton, uhio, Sept. 28.—Secretary Cortelyou came here yesterday to assist Mrs. McKinley in disposing of matters connected with the late president's estnte. After meeting Mrs. McKinley the question of filing the will was taken up. The trying task of reading it to her was undertaken by the faithful secretary. Mrs. McKinley made a heroic effort to bear up, and succeeded in doing so, although the ordeal was difficult for her. All legal formalities necessary for her to subscribe to, were disposed of. Late in the afternoon Judge Day and Secretary Cortelyou went to the office of the probate judge and offered the will of President McKinley for probate. They carried with them the following: "I, Ida S. McKinley, widow of William McKiuley, deceased, hereby decline the administration ot* his estate, and recommend the appointment of William R. Day and George U. Cortelyou as administrators with the will annexed." This recommendation hears the date of rfnpt. 27, 1001.
Following is the text of President McKinley's will: "Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. "1 publish the following as my latest will and testament., hereby revoking all former wills. "To my beloved wife, Ida S. McKinley, I bequeath all of my real estate, wherever situated, and the income of any personal property of which I may be possessed at death, during her natural life. I make the following charge upon all of my property, both real and personal: To pay my mother during lier life $1,000 a year, and at her death said sum to be paid to my sister, Helen McKinley. If the income from prop eny be insufficient to keep my wife in great comfort and pay the annuity above provided, then 1 direct that such of my property be sold so as to make a sum adequate for both purposes. Whatever property remains at the death of my wife I give to niy brother and sisters, share and share alike. My chief concern is that niy wife from my estate shall have all she requires for her comfort and pleasure, and that my mother shall be provided with whatever money site requires to make her old age comfortable and happy. "Witness my hand and seal this 22d day of October, 1S'.)7, to my last will and testament, made at the city of Washington. District of Columbia. "WILM AM M'KINLKY." "The foregoing will was witnessed by us this 22nd day of October, 1S!)7, at the request of the testator, and his name signed hereto in our presence and our signatures hereto in bis presence. G. n. CORTELYOU. "('IIARLKS LOKFFMSR."
It is given out on authority that the McKinley estate will total $223,000 or $250,000. including life insurance of $t»7,000. Aside from the Sti7,000 mentioned. the estate consists of real os late here and contiguous to Canton, and of deposits in Washington banks. Monday morning at 9 o'clock has been fixed by the probate court for a hearing prior to probating the will. Then it is expected Secretary Cortelyou and Judge Day will lie finally appointed administrators of the estate, with will annexed, and will give bond.
Secretary Cortelyou made the necessary affidavit as to the genuineness of the signature of the president and of his own. Mr. Loetlier will reach here today and make affidavit as to his signature and to having seen the president attach his name to the document.
