VISITORS BARRED.

Mr. Gregg Explains Why the Match Factory Does Not Keep Opea House.

Mr. O. M. Gregg says the board of directors of the Indiana Match company has adopted the rule of refusing to admit strangers into the factory. There are two reasons why visitors are not allowed in the factory, one of which is rather unique. One is bebecause some preparations are used in making matches that are not meant to be investigated by the public. Another is because the presence of visitors in the place interferes with the work of employes "For instance," said Mr. Gregg, "we have perhaps, 100 women working in one room. Lot a stranger enter the room and how quick those women would turn around to see who he was. I don't say men employes would not, but I think it is a settled proposition that women display greater curiosity in this particular than men. But suppose a strange woman should enter the room where these 100 women are employed. Then what would happen? You know how one woman will look at another one to see how she is dressed. This would be the case In our business. All those 100 women would want to see what the visitor was wearing, and consequently each woman would lose some time. It would amount to a great deal in a year. While we pay our people by the 'piece' we are anxious for them to do as much work for us and themselves as they can, and we feel that the rule of keeping strangers out of the establishment is not only beneficial to us, but to our employes."—Indianapolis Journal.

TWO THOUSAND.ROUTES

Will Cover Indiana Within Three YearsBeing Established at the Rate of Thirty-Five a Month.

"I estimate that it will take 2,000 rural free delivery routes to cover Indiana," said A. M. Machen, superintendent of the rural free delivery division of the first assistant postmaster general's office. "We ought to reach that number of routes within two years. We certainly shall be able to cover the state within three years."

Four hundred and seventy routes are now in operation in the state. The carriers serve daily, except Sunday, 47,000 families and 340,000 persons. The state now has one-twelfth of the rural free delivery service in the country. Applications for new routes are coming in faster than from any other state and it is the intention of the department to see that the state continues to get its share of the new routes ordered.

Superintendent Machen says that from now until Aug. 1, new routes will be established at the rate of 400 a month. Indiana's share wiil be about 35 a month. If this congress increases the appropriation for the department to $ii,000,000—and there is every reason to believe that it will—new routes will come much faster than heretofore. It is not improbable that after the new appropriation is available the state will be able to get the service at the rate of fifty routes a month.

Lacey for Treasurer.

Charles E. Lacey announces in THE JOURNAL, to day that he will be a candidate for county treasurer subject to the decision of the Republican convention. Mr. Lacey is widely known throughout Montgomery county, and the better known the more highly esteemed he is. He has been in the book business in Crawfordsville for eleven years and during that time his reputation for integrity and upright dealing has steadily grown. Previous to his coming to Crawfordsville he was for foar years teller in the Studebaker bank at Bluffton, an experience which would serve him in good stead should he become county treasurer. His Republicanism is unquestioned and his undoubted qualifications for the ofl'ce would inspire confidence on the part of the public should he receive the nomination.

SWALLOWED FREE SILVER

Did Morris Herzog With aWry Face, But Wm. Rider Refused to Follow Suit —A $90,000 Jack Pot.

Morris Herzog, a merchant of Covington, and William Rider, a banker of Waynetown, were In thecity last night, says the Indianapolis Journal. Both are Democrats of prominence in their localities and are friends of long standing. Mr. Herzog, though much opposed to the free silver fallacy, forced himself to swallow Bryantsm, but Mr. Rider rebelled and declined to cast his vote that way. Both are now hoping that the Democracy will get into such shape that they can support the candidates without compunctions of conscience.

Mr. Herzog was raised in Germany, and last summer he journeyed back to the fatherland. He went abroad on the steamship Deutschland. "I saw a $90,000 jackpot on that boat," ho remarked to a friend. "Were you in the game?" the latter asked. "No," remarked Mr. Herzog, "I played in the ten cent limit." He said he came back to America convinced that it is the best country of all. While in Germany he was particularly impressed with the style of shoes made in that country as compared with American-made shoes. The American shoes are far ahead of the others. "I have a friend, a commercial traveler," said Mr. Herzog, "who tells me that he sold one jobber in Germany 150,000 pairs of American shoes."

AN AGED RESIDENT DIES.

Mrs. Ellen McCormlck, Who Has Lived In This County for Sixty-Six Years, Passes Away

Sunday.

Sunday afternoon at five minutes after two o'clock, at the home of her son in-law, Irvin Buchanan, on Lafayette avenue, occurred the death of Mrs. Ellen McCormick, relict of Earl McCormick. Mrs. McCormick fell about twelve weeks ago and hurt herself and had never been able to be about since, death being caused by a hemorrhage. The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home, conducted by Rev. A. Runyan, of the Baptist church. Interment was at the Masonic cemetery.

Mrs. McCormick was born seventytwo years ago in Ohio and came to this county when a child six years old, having lived here since that time. She leaves five children, her husband having died eleven years ago. The children are Newton McCormick, of this city Jennie Wilkinson, of near Linden Lydia Mason, living six miles north of this city Nettie Mason, of near Brown's Valley and Rosa Buchanan, of this city. Mrs. McCormick was for many years a member of the Newlight church, but of late years had attended the Baptist church, living a useful Christian life, full of good deeds that will be cherished as a precious memory by her children.

A Long Dry Spell.

No rain has fallen in this city since December 13, and the oldest inhabitant states that the past eight months hold the record for the lack of moisture. Rain Is very much needed and many cisterns are reported to have been pumped out this month. The dust is something terrible all over the county and about three inches of precipitation would be greeted with acclaim by everybody.

Home From the Philippines.

A Summer In the Mountains

James F. Boots will go to his ranch near Telluride, Col., next June and will take with him Dumont Kennedy, David Canine and Merrett Vorls, who expect to spehd the summer hunting, fishing and roughing it in the mountains.

A Oentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature—rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day—it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing consumption, hemorrhages, pneumonia, severe coughs, croup or any disease of the throat or lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.

THE HALL DITCH CASE.

It Comes to a Sudden Termination In the Circuit Court Monday Morning*

The Joseph Hall ditch case came up Monday morning in the circuit couFtand it was expected that it would take up most of the week. The proceeding was an appeal from a re-allottment made, by County Surveyor Harding, in which some thirty parties allotted portions of the ditch to clean out, remonstrated. The surveyor was represented by Chase Harding and the remonstrators by lhomas & Foley, A large number of witnesses had been summoned for the case and were to have given the testimony io the case, but Judge West, after the defense had admitted that a number of persons In the allottment of 18!H) who were petitioners for the re-allottment had not yet done the work allotted to them, on a motion ruled that

5

"the

allottment of 1899 would stand and that that of 1901, which was being remonstrated against, would be dismissed. Mr. West expressly stated, however, that he would not hold that these outside parties could not be brought In and allotted a portion of the ditch, but that until the original allottment had been complied with the parties assigned work there under were not in a position to ask for a re-allottment.

A Bank for Wallace.

The nourishing little town of Wallace will probably tfdd to its bueinees institutions a bank in the near future. A gentleman from that place was in the city Monday and he said a movement was on foot for the organization of a bank there and that the men behind the enterprise were men of means and that in all probability it would be a go.—Covington Friend.
