AN IMPORTANT RULING.

Attorney-General Taylor Holds That New Interest Law Does Not Apply to School t-und Loans

Made Before Its Passage.

I A number of persons who have vnoney borrowed out of the county school fund were of the impression that, the new law passed by the last legislature making the interest payable at the end of the year instead of in advance, applied to all loans, whenever made, but the auditor of stale in answer to an inquiry from Auditor White, writes as follows: "In reply to your letter of" the 22nd, will say that the attorney-general has given decision that where loans wore in operation at the time of the passage of the law on which the date of interest is from the first to the last of the year, the interest must be paid in advance.

VOL. 55-NO. 5 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA. FRIDAY A N A :*1 1902-TWELVK A E S PART SECOND

This is necessary because it is impossible to change the note upon which payment is made, and this note reads "payable in advance." Should the party desire to take advantage of the law, it is necessary to make a new mortgage."

Auditor White also wrote about the big school fund surplus in this county amounting to nearly $50,000, which it has been found impossible to loan, and has received the following reply: "Regarding the school funds, we are going to make an effort to put this money out, and to relieve yours and other counties. It is very hard to find a place to put the money where it is thought it ought to be placed. Some counties want money, but these counties in all probability, ought not have it. However, we are going to present another call to the counties asking them to give the condition of the school fund, and as soon as this has been done, if we can find any place for it will make a re distribution and. rev lieve you."

Fire at Allen Robertson's.

Last Thursday night at 9 o'clock Allen Robertson, livine near Walnut Fork, northeast of the city, dumped some ashes out by the smoke house and went to bed. He was awakened in a little bit by a glare through the window and discovered upon examination that the ashes had started a fire in a lot of dry wood and a bucket of tar near the smoke house, and the building was blazing mBi-rily. Mrs. Robertson is sick in bed and Mr. Robertson at once rang the bell for assistance, and a freight train coming along about this time added its whistle and bell to the clamor, rousing the neighbors for several miles around. A number came and the flames were soon extinguished, but the smoke house was a wreck. Snow on the roof of the residence was all that saved it from burning, as the wind carried sparks over onto it in a stream. The loss will be small.

Death of an Aged Woman.

January 24 at the home of her son-in-law, Timothy O'Connor, at 104 west North street, occurred the death of Mrs. Ann Rooney, Mrs. Rooney had retired in good health, but just before midnight she was taken with a severe attack of heart trouble and died in a few minutos. The funeral was held Monday morning at St. Bernard's Catholic church, interment being at Calvary cemetery.

Mrs. Rooney was born seventy-four years ago in Ireland and came to America when quite young, having lived in this city for many years. She leaves five children, her husband having died some time since. The children are Mrs. Timothy O'Connor and John Rooney, of this city James and Wm. Rooney, of Chicago and Mrs. Bridget Eaglehoff, of Nebraska. Mrs. Rooney was a fine old Irish lady whose many lovable qualities had endeared her to a large circle of acquaintances and she will be sincerely mourned,

Starts Out Auspiciously.

W. N. Tyson has received a letter from John Callahan, who went to Montgomery, Ala., two weeks ago, to the effect that he has secured fine quarters and already has a goodly number of patients. Mr. Tyson, who has been making a study of osteopathy, will join Mr. Callahan in about six months and become a partner in the practice.

A Good Recommendation.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have used them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled _with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

IN THE MAYOR'S COURT.

Snowball Lewis Is Fined for Provoking Mrs. John Lewellen and Is Sent to Jail.

The case oT John Lewellen vs. 'Snowball'' Lewis was called last Friday in the mayor's court, Lewis entering a plea of not guilty. Mrs. Lewellen, her husband and hor daughter all testified to the language that Lewis used in addressing the former in a family fuss last Saturday. They all testified also that Lewis had been living with Maggie Lewellen for about three years and that they had one child, but that they had never been married. A neighbor gavo her testimony to the effect that quarrels were very frequent in the Lewis household, the woman living with the defendant rousing the neighborhood with her shrieks of terror when Lewis took her in hand. This witness gave it as her opinion to the court that Lowie ought to bo made to marry the woman and live decently.

Lewis made no defense and the court fixed his fine at Sl~ and costs, making a total of $25. Lewis being unable to stay or pay, went to jail for twenty-five days. The woman with whom he has been living did not appear as a witness.

General Wallace's Autobiography. General Low Wallace is engaged in writing his autobiography, anil he said yesterday that he thought he had it about half completed. The general is doing no other literary work,but is putting in his time on this history of his career. He usually works from about in the morning until 5 in the evening After that hour he receives his friends. "I haveto-day been in the midst of the battle of Donelson," he said last evening, pointing to some manuscript on the table. He expects next to tako up the bat.vle of Shilob.

General Wallace has been engaged in this work for about two or three years, not incessantly, but whenever he could spare the time. The general and his wife have both been suffering with griP-

General Wallace has never told the public what lus royalties are. "It is enough to say that they are perfectly satisfactory," he remarked with a smiie.—Indianapolis Journal,

HOW TO ECONOMIZE,

OME men economize so closely on the number of words in a telegram that the receiver can not understand it. This is not sensible economy. Neither is it sensible economy to ruin garments of value with cheap soap or powerful chemicals that cat into the fabric. True economy uses Ivory Soap in the laundry. It is the most of pure soap that can be sold for the money. Chemically it is as innocent as water. Yet it does everything you can ask of a soap. Try it!

A short time ago we received the following letter and poem from James B. Elmore:

ALAMO, Ind., Jan. 14, 1002.—Dea. Frlend—I thought that you probably would like a poem so I sond you the following poem on the flag. It could be easily set to music. I hope it will find favor with you as every patriotic American is wrapped up in the inspiration of "Old Glory." 1 am well and wish you the samo happy enjoyment,

Yours truly, JAMics B. ELMOKIE. THE STARS AND UAKS. All seek thi aid that wc can give,

Briny forlli the stars a oil bars. We'll freedom givo to all that live Who come within our power.

Let Haunted sails in distant lands, Proclaim the ties of love, Whero freedom joins the heart and hand

As does the God above.

We'll give to those who seek such peace From lords whose coffers fill, Who try to bind and not release,

Our pulse is beating silll.

Lot proud America's praise be sung, O'er distant lands and sea. Let her reseat the power of wrong,

Where e'er her ling may be.

Lei freedom come unto the brave, Go sound the tocsin bell Hurl back the tide of ruling knaves,

Our glory all shall tell.

A pennon of white stars and bars, Speak of primeval days When heroes bore the bloody scars.

Instead of tolling slaves.

A crown of glory waits for those Who fell at Bunker 11111, There mem'ry sweet still onward goes,

As deeds of heroes will.

Godktn Evidently Lied.

Lawrence Godkin, who alleges that he was put off the train at the Big Four,station Tuesday evening after a through ticket had been taken away from him, has evidently been doing a good job of lying. The conductor of the train from which Godkin alleges he was put off, came through last Friday and upon being interrogated stated that Godkin got on at iJzton with a ticket to Crawfordsville, and that he was not put off here, but got off of his own accord. Godkin has no papers of uny kind to substantiate his story and the authorities are inclined fco the belief that he is a fake pure and unadulterated, but why he should not have told the truth in the first place and saved himself trouble and humiliation, is something that cannot be explained.

A Very Harmonious Convention. The Democrats of Union township met last Saturday at 1:30—or that is about twenty-five of them did—in the small court room to elect a township chairman and precinct committeemen. As the hour of the meeting had not been given in the call, it looked like a case of snap judgment and several of the faithful had been waiting ever since eight o'clock in the morning. The name of Con Cunningham was the only one presented for chairman, and he was elected by acclamation before the brethren on the back seats had time to say scat. He was given the privilege of selecting his own committeemen, as there were not enough present to go around, the precincts around the edge# not being represented to any great extent, though seVeral men were recommended as good men for the position#. Mr. Cunningham was not present and a committee was named to break the news to him gently.
