company Is trying to effect a settlement

Henry Cregan, the two young Lafayette
men who were killed labor day be being
knocked off a caboose. Claim Agent
Head says he has done nothing of this
! nature and the road does not consider
itself responsible for the accident. The
young men. it is said, were warned re-
peatedly of the danger Of riding where
they were when struck by the water
spout.-Peru Journal.

The fourteenth annual fair of the
Montgomery county agricultural associa-
ton is thing of the past and another
laurel has been added to its heavily laden
wreath. Never in the history of the as
ISOLATION has the display of live stock
equaled the present one. Every depart
ment was complete. While the rains of
Monday and Tuesday lessened somewhat
the attendance for those days the re-
naming days were up to the standard of
former years. The worlds fair cut no
figure with us. We are the mightiest of
them all.-Crawfordsville Review.
Company K, seventy-ninth Indiana
regiment, twenty-six Of whom reside in
this county, held their annual reunion
rades were present and thirty-four of
other commands. The people of the
vicinity gave them a right royal recep-
ton and fed them on the fat of fat
neighborhood. The Royalton band fur
nished excellent music and plenty Of it.
Among the many reunions the county
has had, those present never enjoyed a
more pleasant one. They meet next
year at Plainfield.-Danville Republican.
No one at this time should be guilty of
starting an unfounded rumor concerning
smallpox. A report reached here Thurs
day night that there was a case at Mid
dlefork, and a gentleman from there to-
day states that there is no foundation
for the rumor. A wild rumor was start
ed here since noon that there was case
of smallpox in the eastern part of town.
There is nothing of the kind here, and
such rumors should never be started.
Until the board of health or the news
papers, both of which will watch the
city very closely, report a case there need
be no alarm. We are all right.-Frank-
fort Crescent.

Where he was drowned the water was
not up to his head quite. and he was in

head partially exposed. No water was

The deceased was born in Berkeley coun-
