Messrs Jones & McClure, the new funeral directors who have cotne to our city from Oxford, Ohio are pleasant young men. They have rented the rooms over Bohm's bakery in the Howard Block for a time. They have had experience in the business and are well equipped to look after all business entrusted to them promptly, satisfactorily and reasonably. They now have an elegant black funeral car and in a week or ten days will have a white hearse which is now being completed Their residence in on South street, first dwelling West of the Presbyterian church. Calls answered promptly day or night "Just for fun," John Gant went into the Chinese laundry Friday night and asked Lee for a small loan. Lee refused whereupon John made motions as if to open the "till," so Lee says." The Chinaman was after John in a minute with a club and struck him several times on the arm. Gant finally turned on Lee and knocked him and his pardner down In Squire Geary's court Saturday, Gant was fined and costed $14.37. John will probably not tackle another Chinaman soon even just "for fun."

He goes to Cincinnati to assist his boys—Walter and Ed—in their printng office. Mr. W. will have charge of the books and act as general manager. His friends here wish him abundant success.
We have heard the Memorial services Sunday at the Presbyterian church highly commended. The singing was excellent and the patriotic sermon of Rev. Chesteen Smith, pastor of the Dublin M. E. circuit, was regarded as very fine. Chesteen is an old Greenfield boy, the son of Wm. G. Smith, a member of the Dunbar Post G. A. R., and city treasurer elect. Rev. Smith's relatives and friends are all proud of him.
The song service at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening was very creditable and showed the singers to be thoroughly versed in their respective numbers. Besides the regular song service, Miss Ella Daily, of Indianapolis, rendered two beautiful numbers on the violin. She handled the "bow" in a professional manner. Mr. Jeffries gave a good
solo on the clarinet. A first-class shoe store is what every city needs. White & Service have just refitted their store, and have placed on sale an immense stock of fine foot wear, and can please any one, no matter what style, what price or what width you may want. Give them a call and be convinced that a shoe store is the place to buy shoes.

A DISGRACEFUL, PICNIC AT MAXWELL,
Gamblers and Disreputable Women Hold High Carnival.
Last Sunday, the so called "German" picnic at Maxwell, proved to be a fraud and a disgraceful affair. It was not a German picnic at all but simply a gambling affair in which no nationality was particularly prominent. About 400 came out Sunday morning from Indianapolis and took possession of Leary's Grove and the beer then began to flow. The men in general were gamblers, and confidence men and the majority of women conducted themselves like women of bad re pute. There were a good many respectable people in Hancock County who showed bad taste and poor judgement in going to the place. George Winn lost $10.00 on the shell game and came to Greenfield to inform the sheriff but of course when the police arrived the man could not be found. Daniel O. Harrow also lost $10.00 by the shell racket. The men were bold and plied their games openly right in the road. If men wonld not bite, they would give a man who looked like a sucker some money and then tell him to bet on the game a if le would not they would say keep the money then, and just as soon as he put it away with his other money they would steal what they gave him and what the man had had before.
There were enough of the robbers to hold a man up by force, and they did it if necessary. More men than Winn and O. Harrow lost money, but all are not squealing. At the dancing platform they carried on outrageously. Many of the women giving exhibitions of high kicking until they got too drunk to kick. Leary got $20.00 for his grounds, but Hancock County can not afford to be disgraced, and have the laws violated with imparity. A man who owns property where lawless acts are carried on, can be arrested and fined as well as the law breakers, because both are liable under the laws. Let the officers and law abiding citizens do their duty.
DITMAK BUSINESS BLOCK BURNED,
IS15,000
Worth of Property Destroyed in a Short Time.
Last Friday morning at 2:10 o'clock, night watchmen Dudding and Johnson, discovered fire in the basement of F. S. Hammel's grocery store in Ditmar's Block on Main street, and it resulted in a $15,000 loss before extinguished. The origin of the fire is unknown, but supposed to be from spontaneous combustion.
The fire soon burned through the first floor in the rear of the building, containing several barrels of coal oil, which ignited, and in a few minutes the entire room was on fire and beyond control of the "volunteer" fire department here. The flames soon spread to the drug store of C. T. Grose, in the same block, and destroyed the contents. The block was the proparty of R. V. Ditmar, of Franklin, and was insured in the Indiana, Vernon and Milwaukee Mechanic companies for $6,000. Mr. Hammel's stock was insured for $3,000 in the German American Phoenix and Norwich Union companies. His loss will be about $1,500 above the insurance. C. T. Grose's stock was insured for $3,000 in the Franklin and Lancanshire companies. His loss over insurance will be about $1,000. Ou the second floor were the offices of City Attorney Robert Williamson, 'Squire George Barnett, and John W. Ryon, real estate agent. Their loss will be light.
The Madison County Republican Ticket.
The Republicans nominated a county ticket in Madison County last Saturday. Our good friend, John Starr, ef Pendleton, was nominated for Sheriff. The following is the ticket in full as published in the Journal: Dan Hanlon, prosecuting attorney Mayor John H. Terhune, Representative Edwin Johnson, clerk Dr. Heath, of Elwood, auditor M. D. Har man, Buck Creek township, recorder: John Starr, Pendleton, sheriff M. H. Downey, Alexandria, surveyor Clayton Sells, coroner commissioners, Timothy Metcalf, of Boone, and Allen Boran, of Adams township. The convention was one of the largest ever held in the county. Charles L. Henry, nominee for Congress, opened with a rousing speech that brought forth applause. Edgar E. Hendee presided. John W. Lovett, chairman of committee on resolutions, presented a set of resolutions, iucluding the following: "We believe that the county of Madison, with its hundreds of manufacturing enterprises, and its thousands of skilled workmen, should and will be redeemed from Democratic control that it should declare at the polls its preference for a party whose policy will insure renewed prosperity to its industries and a further and rapid development of its great industrial resources. "We express our full and unqualified approval of the action of the Seventh district congressional convention in dominating for Congress one of our citizens, and hereby give our pledge to the district that Hon. Charles L. Henry will receive the majority of votes in this county."
Wedding Bells.
Last Sundriy evening Clarence Luse of Buckcreek township and Miss Hattie Emry of McCordsville were married at the hohie of the bride by Rev. J. E.Fish. The bride and groom are well known to all our people and need no introduction. They are both successful teachers, energetic and intelligent young people, and will make life a success. There were but few invited guests. After the ceremony all proceeded to the dining room where a sumptuous repast was in waiting. The bride was attired in beautifnl brown satin while the groom wore the regulation black dress suit. All unite in wishing this happy couple unceasing prosperity in their journey through life.
A New Way To Shear Sheep.
A Democrat out in Ohio was employed to shear sheep. He caught one, tied its legs together, stood it on its head and holding by its hind legs, began te shear from its tail down. "Here, here!" cried the owner of the sheep. "Put it on the bench and begin at the head."
Shearer—No. I won't, for I just can't look a sheep in the face since my party is granting protection to all kinds of trusts and monopolies and utterly refuses protection to the poor, defenceless, innocent sheep.—Ex.
