Feeling that our efforts in making an Advance Sale of Cloak* at special prices have been appreciated and at the same time beneficial to both ourselves and our patrons, we have determined to offer the people another opportunity to buy goods for less than they are ordinarilv sold; in fact, in many cases less than they can be bought at wholesale. In accordance with this resolve we have placed three lots of Dress Goods on our counters at pricas which cannot fail to interest all intending buyers. THE FIRST LOT consists of an English Cashmere in almost every desirable shade including black, which retails at 25c per yard. Our special sale price, 1 *•*«•. THE SECOND LOT consists of an assortment of cloths in plain and fancy efleets, worth in any market 50c per yard. Our special sale price, THE THIRD LOT is composed of a large variery of our best selling goods in plaids, stripes, plain and fancy weaves, which have always been considered cheap at from 60 to 65c per yard. Our special sale price, IO<*. Our stock is full of all the newest things out in Hopsackings, Basket Weaves, Storm Sergos, etc. All at special prices.

rovia last night. Charles Crow and wife, of Indianapolis, were here on Sunday. The business man who is shrewd now uses the advertising columns of a newspaper to catch customers. Mrs. Lizzie Young, wife of Dan. Young, died on Monday laAtr-^^y-phoid fever, after a long sickness. The Monon passenger trains going north at 4:40 p. m. and going south at at 5:17 a. m. have been taken off. Tuesday morning Tom Sago telephoned to John Cooper, the ’bus man, to bring a “sfretcuer” to the Big Four depot. Cooper rushed to the undertakers, secured a stretcher, and hustled a team to the depot with it. When he got there he found that the “stretcher” needed was the one necessary to hitching the leaders in a four-horse team to a wagon. The funeral of Andrew M.Lockridge took place on Sunday afternoon, from College Ave. Church. The pallbearers were Messrs. T. C. Hammond, David Houck, F. P. Nelson, Win. Wright, Alpheus Birch and J. F. Darnall. The services were conducted by Dr. S. B. Town and Dr. Alex. Martin, and were very largely attended. The procession of carriages from the church to the cemetery was about one mile long; the friends from near
and afar were present to pay the last

The Crawfordsville Argus says: John Cawley and Miss Julia Ash, of Greencastle, attended the KennedyLayne wedding at the Catholic Church this morning. A man more thoughtfully and wise that most of his fellow mortals says don’t burn the leaves, fortheyare too valuable tor that. Put them around your rose bushes, goosobery, rasp berry, current and grape roots, or anywherebut don’t burn them. They are nature’s fertilizer, and nothing else is equal to them. The Mitchell Pronged Plow, manufactured by Cole Bros., this city, was awarded a medal and diploma at the World’s Fair. This plow, it is thought, will work a revolution in the plow industry; it has attracted the attention of agriculturists everywhere not only because of its novelty, but also on account of the superior w r ork it is capable of doing. On Sunday afternoon a horse driven by Mr. R. W. Crawley’s daughter, Florence, became frightened and ran away on the National Road,.just south of this city. Fortunately neither she nor her young lady friend had any bones broken, but Miss Crawley was badly bruised, and the buggy and harness were in a bad state of repair when the animal was stopped.
Now is the slaughter of the innocents (quails) on. Mr. Cosier and family have moved here from Dayton, Ohio.
Broken Arm. . On Tuesdays Ed, son of Mr. John Gardner, was thrown out of a wagon by reason of the horses frightening and running away, and had his left arm broken at the wrist. Dr. Bence made the surgical repairs necessary.
Wants $300 Damages. James E. Garner, by S. A. Hays, attorney, has filed a suit claiming 1*300 damages from the Monon R. R. The complaint alleges that the Jacob street crossing over the railroad was in bad condition, and that plaintiff’s horse had his leg broken in going over said crossing, in September last, by reason of the unsafe condition of the crossing.
Large Tax Receipts. County Treasurer Hughes has been doing a land office business on the three last days of last week and the first two days of this week the collection of taxes averaged about £6,000 each day. The books are to be kept open for collection until to-night, that people drawing pensions may have opportunity to get their cheeks cashed and liquidate their taxes without having the penalty and costs added.
Sudden Death. On Monday evening Mrs. Elizabeth Tompkins was taken sick while walking home from the public square and after going to bed medical aid was summoned. All possible was done for her relief but without avail; she suffered severely most of the night and on Tuesday, before noon death ended her suffering. Deceased was in the 7" !: year of her age; she had long bet n a member of the Christian Church, ici was honored and respect 1 A a large circle of friends and ai pi.rnr .uces. Thefuneral took place on l .iursday morning, from the ^hrist a . Church, Elder Morris conducting the services.
Miss Grady Wins. A special from Brazil dated Nov. 4 says that the famous Carbon school case was settled in the Circuit Court. The old School Board of that place had employed Miss Jennie Grady of Greencastle, t > teach and the new board, hearir that Miss Grady had failed to sec e license, employed Miss Lizzie ./est. Miss Grady insisted on he rights, as did Miss West, and both taught the room, the scholars being hustled through double work. The School Board coaxed and threatened, but Miss Grady remained firm. The School Board sued for a restraining order, and the case was decided
A Wow and a Wumpus. At Roachdale, on Saturday night, red-eye seemed to be in abundant supply, ana appearances indicated that it was of fighting quality. Hiram Keck hit Eli Ribble, after a war of words, and Ribble pulled his gun and directed its fire Keck-wards, but the weapon did not go off. Shortly afterwards, at Prather’s saloon, Keck, John Perkins and Marion Brown got mixed up considerably, and Perkins hit Prather with some weapon that made it necessary for the doctor to repair his injuries. Peace reigned for a time, and then Ribble hit Perkins with a rock, inflicting injuries that again demanded the doctor’s surgical skill.
Broken Legs On Saturday, Mr. Ellsworth Brown, of Floyd township, was driving a wagon down a steep hill, the brake failed to work, he was thrown off the vehicle, and had both bones of his left leg broken just above the aakle. On Sunday Dr. G. C. Smythe was called to reduce the fracture. Monday afternoon the DePauw foot ball team was playing a practice game with the team of ’98. In one of the gentle rushes and skirmishes of the game Neese, of’98, had one of the bones of his left, leg fractured above the ankle, and he was taken to Dr. G. C. Smythe to have the needed repairs made.
Suicide Rather than Marriage. Walter Rosebro, of this city, ligures in a sensational case at Crawfordsville, according to a special resently sent out as follows: One of the most sensational suicides in the history ofCrawfordsville was that of Mrs. Mattie Canary. She was married to 'Will Canary about 10 years ago and one son was born to them. About two years ago she sued and obtained a divorce. She met Walter Rosebro shortly' after the separation. How it came about is not generally known, but it is certain that she and Rosebro were quite friendly and intimate not long after the granting of the divorce and their intimacy ripened into love, but their affairs were kept quiet until about a year ago when Mrs. Canary attempted to commit suicide by taking a large dose of morphine. She was discovered in time to save her life, however, and soon appeared in good spirits again. It was reported once or twice that they had been married, and it appears that the marriage has been set for at least txvo separate occasions, but was postponed for some cause. Some weeks ago Rosebro went to Greencastle, and took a position. He frequently spent Sunday here, and came up last Saturday afternoon with the full expectation of being married to Mrs. Canary that evening. She had consented to the arrangement, and about supper time Mr. Rosebro appeared at the hotel and asked to see Wallace Sparks, County Clerk. lie had gone but was found’ up town by Mr. Rosebro, who arranged with him to take out the marriage license that evening. Rosebro left then in search of a Baptist minister. He finally returned and was surprised to find Mattie gone and to learn that she had left for a buggy ride with anottier fellow. Mr. Rosebro and her sister, left in search of her but failing to discover her whereabouts returned home and awaited her coming. When she returned.quite a scene occurred, but the next morning she and Mr. Rosebro “made up” and he left for Greencastle with the understanding that the marriage shond occured November 16. Wedneday she received a letter from him telling her to come to
