eses for the Sunflower.

Olive oil has many uses but mora substitutes, and few salads are compounded without the aid ot one of them. Cottonseed oil is a favorite substitute, but, according to an Egyptian newspaper, this is soon to find a' sturdy rival in the oil of the seed of the sunflower. Experiments made by German chemists have convinced them, it seems, of the availability of this cheap raw material and it may become shortly a valuable article of commerce. It is said to be convertible to many uses and. besides having possibilities as a lamp oil, may be used for dyeing purposes, and will be of service in soap making.—New York Press.

THE GOLDEN RULE.

A NEW FACTORY.

The Commercial Club Gives Crawfordavllle an Opportunity to Secure an Industry With Fine Prospects

THE CKAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Through the management of the Commercial Club Crawfordsville now has an opportunity to secure an industry which has every appearance of be ing something good for the stockholders and the town, and something which will grow. It is a factory for the making of what is known to the trade as a creamery, but which is better explained to the general public as a farmer's cold water refrigerator for keeping milk and butter.

For about two weeks the Commercial Club has been in communication with J. W. Emerson, of Lafayette, who is the owner of patents covering the Purdue Creamery, a picture of which is herewith presented.

THE PURDUE CREAMERY

Mr. Emerson has made two trips to Crawfordsville, and now has on exhi bitlon at T. J. Houlehan's hardware store one of his creameries. He met with the directors of the club la9t Tuesday and after a thorough canvaes of the situation it was decided that the facts justified the appointment of a committee to organize a stocfc com' pany. President Crawford selected R, C. Smith, George Johnson and A. A. McCain with Secretary Russell as member ex-oSicio. The committee met I Wednesday with Mr. Emerson and a subscription paper was drawn up. The capital etock is $20,000, divided into four hundred shares of $50 each. Of this Mr. Emerson retains 88,000 and the rest is to be subscribed by Crawfordsville people. The committee already has nearly half this amount in sight, and it is thought there will be no great difficulty in securing the full amount.

It is planned to make the creameries for the present at the Dovetail factory and ultimately to erect suitable buildings. Mr. Emerson comes here with high recommendations, and his creamery is considered by Mr. Houlehan, who has sold 6uch articles for several years, to be superior to anthing on the market. Mr. Emerson has an established business, but for lack of capital has not been able to push it properly. He gives satisfactory reasons for wanting to leave Lafayette.

Slipped and Broke Her Arm. Mrs. Mary Martin, living at 509 south Washington street, steeped out in the yard Wednesday and was so unfortunate as to fail and break her right arm just .above the wrist. Dr. Sigmond was called and dressed the wounded member.

CHAS. REPLOGLE, Atwater, O.. was in very bad 6hape. He says: "I suffered a great deal with my kidnevs and was requested to try Foley's Kidney Cure. I did so and in four days I was able to go to work again, now I am entirely well."

LANDIS ON CIVIL SERVICE.

A Significant Interview With Our Congressman On an Interesting Subject.

A Washington dispatch to the New York 1!oeniny Post says: "What effect the new President's civil service reform attitude will have upon the avowed spoilsman of his own party has long been an interesting question. It is too early yet to attempt to anfewer it. Certain straws, however, show that the wind is blowing. Representative Landis, of Indiana, discussed this question with your correspondent on the white 1 house portico this afternoon. Mr. Landis acknowledged that he had made, only three years ago, one of the bitterest speeches against the existing merit system ever heard in congress. It was when the civil service commissioner's appropriation was under debate for four days. Asked whether he should say something alongjthe same line this winter, he answered: 'No, I don't expect to and, what is more, I do not be lieve there will be any such debate aB we had then.. For my part, I could not say the thines I said then without giving the impression that I was'.antagonizing the administrtion and throwing myself squarely across the path of its purposes—the President feels so strongly on this subject.' "Mr. Landis was next] asked if his own views had not changed on the subject, but he requested that his response should not be quoted. There is are port in town that after the census ap pointments were made on the patronage bisis, with a 'pass'examination thrown in for good measure, Mr. Landis ac knowledged to a friend that if that system prevailed in all the government departments he should be unable to live in town. With the number of government employes in Washington 20 per cent, larger than it was only two years ago, and growing with astounding rapidity, it is evident that the personal selection of employes would give con gressmen little time for anything else

Even the features of the spoils system which still remain keep them very busy."

Married.

On Sunday evening, Dee. 15, at the Baptist'church of Brown's Valley after the close of the impressive sermon preached by the Rev. A, N. Allen, of Rockville, occurred the marriage of Mr. Frank Wilkinson and Mies Blanche Servies. To the strains of the Lohen grin wedding mach rendered by Mrs.

M. McLoed, the bride was led to the marriage altar by her attendant Miss Eita Galey, and the groom by Mr. Walter Taylor. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of old blue trimmed in cream silk and cream applique, carrying bride's roses and the maid of honor wore black sick mull trimmed in blue carrying white carnations. Mr, and Mrs. Wilkinson will be at home to their many friends one and one-half miles south of Brown's Valley after January 1, 1902. A FRIEND.

A Good Attraction.

Howard Gould's coming engagement in this city is attracting no little attention. The play in which he will be seen is "Brother Officers," which might be called a tragedy of social contrasts. The hero, admirably portrayed by that fine young artist, Howard Gould, is a brave young soldier sprung from the gutter and risen from the ranks. Lieut. Hinds has earned tne Viotoria cross and

thuB

won a com

mission in the swell First Lancers. As a self-sacrificing lover and devoted friend, he wins all hearts, yet suoh is the power of cast and cant, that though be is the only true gentleman in the command, he fails in

hiB

local

ambition for lack of inborn gentility. Mr. Gould's appearance in this city will be at Music Hall on Friday night, December 27th.—PresB Notice.

Judgment on Verdicts.

In the case of W. E. Zuck et al. vs. the Wayne township school trustees, the plaintiff was on Wednesday in the circuit court given a judgment on the verdict for S509 70. The case was tried last week and was the outcome of the town and the township both using: the same school house and the township re* fusing to pay its proportion of the expense of a furnace and other repairs.

Thompson Hedges, who sued the city of Crawfordsville for $200 damages, was Wednesday given a judgment for $30, on the verdict of the jury, rendered last week. The city thought it wise to pay the amount as there was no likelihood of ever getting so small a judgment again.

,l Struck Water. The well diggers who have been at work for someltime drilling a well on north Green street lor the Artificial ice company, struck a strong vein on Wednesday, at a depth of 120 feet, and the water immediately rose to a height of seventy-five feet in the tubing. The quality of the water cannot be ascertained until a chemical analysis is made of It. Constant pumping did not lower the water to any extent.

The bodies wore taken back to Moorefield and from there to the morgue at Indianapolis. The train was nearly two hours late when it reached this city because of the accident. The crossing was not a bad one, but the persons killed were so muffled up that they did not hear the approach of the train, which was signalled by the electric bell in use on the engine.

JOKE ON THE JOKERS.

How Victim l'ropurod Some Obolea ftlorselH for II In lrrl«nd». All Manayunk is chuckling over a joke played the other day by A1 Rudolph, his victims being the patrons of a certain barber shop over in West Manayunk, says tho Philadelphia Record. This place has the reputation of being the rendezvous of a gang of jokers, who confiscate anything in thq nature of eatables or drlnkablea brought in by an unsuspecting customer. A man came in the other day with a dozen fried oysters that ho was taking hofflfe as a peace offering to his wife, and when he was released from the chair every oyster had disappeared. Watermelons have been known to go the slime way, and when A1 Rudolph had an Imported cheese stolen while he was being shaved he planned a deep, dark revenge. While in town the next day ho went to a restaurant and ordered some deviled crabs made, giving specific directions as to their ingredients. The component parts were sawdust, red pepper and bits of old rubber shoes, covered over with bran, slightly baked. Then he went to the barber shop and while ho was being Bhaved he left the counterfeit •rabs, neatly done up in a box, on a chair. When he went out he purposely forgot them. In the place at the time were "Professor" David Wallace, Special Officer Harry Haggerty, Bill

Lyle and Teddy Watchorn. No sooner had Rudolph gone than Lyle grabbed the package and opened It and a mad scramble ensued for the contents. In the meantime the joker was peering through the window and he says the scene that followed beggars description that he never before heard such profanity and hopes he never will again. ..

TRAGEDY OF A LOCOMOTIVE. Inglorlons Kndlngr of the Career of 1 World'* Fiklr Wonder.

Engine No. 999, so the types ha v. told, draws a daily milk train on th' New York Central railroad. Therein lies the tragedy of a locomotive. Eight years ago this same 999 was a pet ex hlbit in the machinery department of the World's Fair at Chicago. It was the monarch of the rails, the hold'?: of a world's record, the subject of great newspaper headlines, and the in splration of editorials on attainable speed. In May, 1893, without breath ing hard, No. 999 did a nine-mile spurt on a level track at the rate 102 miles an hour. On the same trij and many times afterward the grea locomotive drew the Empire Stat express during a long run at a sus talned speed of more than a mile 1 minute. It was photographed in it great act by the biograph process, anto this day, on countless moving pic ture screens, breathless music ha! crowds may see its counterfeit 1 pro sentment approach and vanish In .. calcium glare. And now 999 drafre milk train I Having traveled **th pace that kills," it has gone to tlv'!' rest cure. Overtrained, like a humnathlete, the ex-champion of the Btorhighway must henceforth "live softly

all its days. But what a churning it would give tlie fresh Orange county cream if some day old 999 should suddenly awake, as did the old deacon'* famous trotter, to a revived sense of its former pwwess!—New York Sun.
