Wister's Patent Wash Tub

We might have said two weeks ago, that we were in the possession of one of these tubs from the manufactory of Messrs. English & Stran of New Albany, who own the right for Southern Indiana, and who are prepared to supply orders, wholesale or retail, but we preferred testing it thoroughly before recommending it. 

It has now been in use here, three weeks, and been tried on all sorts and sizes of clothes, from bed quilts to night caps and we are authorized to say that it fills the bill, and performs all that is claimed for it.

It is simple and durable, in its construction and but little heavier than an ordinary wash tub. It will be serviceable in the family of every man who desires to lighten the burdens of his wife or daughters, but those who think everything a humbug that does not do, or lighten outdoor work, will not buy it, or if they do they will growl about it.

They can buy patent threshers or rakers or cultivators but a patent wash tub is too small a matter for them.

Let all our readers who are in the reach of Messrs. English and Stran, send for one immediately.

We learn that Mr. Doddridge, the proprietor of Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin, has made arrangements for  a manufactory here, and that they will be for sale in Brookville next week.

We need not urge the men who love their wives, to buy one -- they will do it without urging.

It will come with poor grace from some of them to say they can't spare $8, these hard times, when they chew and smoke more than twice that amount in a year.

HOUSE BURNED

And no trace found of the occupants.

Brookville -- The farm residence and all buildings belonging to Joseph Horn were burned to the ground tonight and the family cannot be found. The family consisted of Horn, his wife and four children. The fire is still too hot to determine of the bodies of the members of the family are buried under the debris of the residence, but it is believed all perished in the flames.

Moral: Insure in the Gordon Agency.*

Fairfield Matters

A recent visit to the thriving little town of Fairfield impresses us with the fact that "improvement is the order of the day" there as well as elsewhere.

Mrs. Eliza Osborn is building a handsome frame residence in the eastern part of town; Dr. Ferguson has laid the foundation for a new dwelling to be shorted erected after the modern fashion, and Dr. Donough has refitted his office building in a handsome manner.

The Fairfield folks are fully up with the times in business matters generally, with the exception that some of them are not in favor of the new railroad running through their township, notwithstanding they will have a convenient depot on that road only a half hour's walk from their town. 

It is hoped, however, that they may yet see that such improvements are a benefit to any community, especially when it is known that they will be so conveniently located near a Grand Trunk Line of railroad such as the proposed new road will be.

They never built the railroad. Blame it on the town!

The Brookville American says that a Mr. Frazee Tucker of Springfield Township in that county, was killed on Sunday last by being thrown from his wagon, which he had driven upon a bank and overturned, falling under it, while in a state of intoxication. He was about 70 years old, and wealthy.

The most disastrous flood ever known here visited Brookville Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Both forks of the Whitewater River are out of their banks. The Whitewater Railroad and Big Four are washed away for miles. Telegraph lines and telephone wires are down through Harrison and Brookville, and houses, bridges, fences and stables are drawn toward the Ohio. Two fatalities are reported. Philip Schuh and Bert Osgood of Brookville are lost and supposed to be drowned.

There were worse floods.

Hogs!! -- For the last three weeks, our eyes have been greeted with scarce anything but vast droves of the swinish multitude. Win that time, "from our own idea of things," and from the calculations of others there must have passed through this place upwards of THIRTY THOUSAND hogs, all wending their way to Cincinnati, the greatest hog market, we would venture to say, in the known world.

All these hogs are from a small section of this state. We are told by the oldest settlers, there never were as many hogs drove through this place in one year, before, as been within the last three weeks. Some days it seemed as if the vast arena of nature's store house was filled with hogs.

The Post office and the jewelry store, attached, in Brookville were entered by burglars on Saturday,, and $2,000 worth of watches and jewelry,  all the letters in the office carried off. Some $300 worth of stamps were also taken. 

Before robbing the office, the burglars entered a hardware store and procured the necessary tools with which to effect an entrance to the former. It is suspected that some of our city thieves were engaged in the operation.

A DOG'S TRAVELS

The remarkable journey made by a faithful canine

(Brookville, Ind., Letter)

A strange story of the remarkable sense of a dog has just been related to your correspondent by Mr. John S. Russell of Springfield Township.

Some few days since Mr. Russell took the dog, which is a fine Newfoundland, to a brother in Clinton County, this state, a distance of 145 miles, leaving him, as he thought, secure, but on Friday morning as the folks were eating breakfast what should they hear but a scratch on the door for admission from their old dog, Scott, who in his gladness to see them almost talked.

But after he was given a ham breakfast, laid under a large tree near the house all day, being almost completely worn out from travel.

The strangeness of this story is, as Mr. Russell says, "a dog will always travel between sundown and sunrise," and as he arrived on Friday morning in time for an early breakfast, he most have made the whole distance of 145 miles during the night. Scott was raised on the farm he came back to, and though only a dog, evidently believes in the old song, "There is no place like home."

(By Star Special Service)

A reform wave has struck Franklin County. A remonstrance under the Moore law with 107 signatures out of 145 voters, was filed which will keep saloons out of Fairfield Township for the next two years.

The (Brookville) marshal, acting under the advice of the prosecuting attorney, has ordered all saloons to remove slot machines and tables and to draw the blinds on Sunday. if his orders are obeyed, it will be the first "dry" Sunday in Brookville for a number of years.

Taught School in Indiana

Pierre Lamartine, the forger, was a school teacher near here up to about 1888, when he purchased a grocery in Elmwood and removed thither.

Some time ago, the Jung Brewing Company of Cincinnati, sent a note drawn by Charles Samoniel, who is a prominent hardware merchant of this place, to the Brookville bank for collection.

Mr. Samoniel refused to pay, disclaiming signature, and also all knowledge of payee of the note. This is undoubtedly Lamartine's work.

Horse Killed

As the downward passenger train on the W.W.V. R.R. was leaving Metamora on last Saturday, two horses were observed on the track some distance in front of the locomotive. Every effort was made to frighten them off by sounding the whistle, but they remained on until, in passing a curve,, one of them was struck and killed. The other one left the track near Hendrickson's.

Indiana's Big Steer

Jumbo, owned by Andrew Wessel of Brookville, which is said to be the largest steer in the world, weighs 3,500 pounds, stands 18 1/4 hands high, measures 11 feet around the girth and 17 feet 2 inches from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail.

He is a full-blooded Shorthorn, is just past the 4-year-old mark and is still growing taller and gaining in weight. The steer is so gentle that it is often ridden by Mr. Wessel's little son. Jumbo has been taken to a few fairs in Ohio and Indiana and  has attracted the attention of many people.  He was raided by P. Ewell of Franklin County, Springfield Township.

FEARED TO MOVE THE 'BODY'

Nearly let woman freeze in snow while waiting for the coroner.

Misconception of the coroner's law nearly caused Miss Olive Sanders of Brookville to be frozen to death in a snowbank. In a warm room, the "dead" woman came back to life.

Miss Sanders' sister missed her from the house and found her, seemingly dead, lying in the snow in the barnyard. Neighbors were called and stood in a ring around the body, consoling the weeping sister and all possessed with the notion that none dare touch the dead until the arrival of the coroner.

It took two hours to get the coroner to the Sanders place. He viewed the body and it was carried into the house and the undertaker called to prepare for the burial. At this stage, Miss Sanders revived.

(She finally died in 1951.)

1836 -- some flooding, not much

Brookville American, April 1836

HIGH WATER

Within the last week, this section of the state has been visited by copious rains. On Saturday we had a very heavy shower of rain, which swelled the rivers and streams so much that considerable injury has been sustained by the mills along Whitewater, and farmers have suffered much in the loss of fencing and the wash of their lands. 

We understand that the Sylvan Factory, Halstead Mills, and the Paper and Flour mills in this place were among the sufferers. The waters were higher than they have been before for several years.

POSTMASTERS AND OFFICES

The postmaster at Springfield, in this county, sent on to the Department some months since his resignation, and also recommended the appointment of Wm. McCaw in his place.

A  recommendation by the citizens was also sent on in favor of Mr. McCaw, but nothing has been heard from the Department, although it has been two or three months.

Consequently,  the postmaster has removed out of the county, and they have no Post Office there.

The Post Office at Scipio is in about the same situation. it seems that the Department attends in no business at all.

It is a matter of regret to many of the citizens of this county, that two of our valuable citizens (W.D. Jones and Jonah  Raridan) both postmasters, and gentlemen of long residence, and respectable standing, are going with the tide of emigration, and seeking the promised land.

NOTICE

We received an advertisement by last Sunday's mail from the neighborhood of Fairfield, with a request at the bottom to publish it in our next paper. The postage not having been paid on the letter, the advertisement cannot be inserted.

Letters to the editor much be post paid, or the business will not be attended to. 

THE COUNTY SEAT

The Dearborn Circuit Court convened at Lawrenceburgh on Monday morning. A motion to adjourn the Court to Wilmington was immediately made. The motion was argued at length, until Wednesday, when Judge Eggleston decided that Wilmington was the County Seat. The Lawrenceburghers immediately appealed to the Supreme Court of the state. The court meets at Indianapolis in May and will, no doubt decide the question. -- Rising Sun Times

Note: Rising Sun was in Dearborn County until 1844 when Ohio County was created, making Lawrenceburg the county seat of Dearborn County. 

Highway to Mixerville

American, 1867

Turnpike to Mixerville

It is in the interest of the millers, merchants, mechanics and all businessmen of Brookville to make the above named road immediately. The building of the road secures a bridge across the East Fork of this place, beyond all question. The road is of more importance to Brookville directly than is a railroad up the East Fork to Richmond.

It is not possible that the businessmen of our town can be so indifferent to their best interests as to allow this golden opportunity to pass without lending a helping hand to this enterprise.

We say to our friends along the line of the proposed road, take courage and be of good cheer; hurry up your subscriptions until you can show our citizens that the work will be done with their proportionate aid, and our word for it, they will take hold and do their part.

The trade that flows from East Brookville, Bath and Springfield Townships is of too much importance to Brookville to be tampered with or thrown away.

Oxford and Brookville Turnpike

The meeting on Friday night of last week at Whitcomb gave good indications of the final success of the building of a turnpike road from Brookville to the state line near Mixerville. A considerable amount of stock has already been taken, and when it becomes understood that it is fully determined to have the road built, the requisite amount will no doubt be forthcoming.

Another meeting will be held at Whitcomb next Saturday night when Col. Farquhar is expected to address the people. Let there be a full attendance of all who are interested.

Notice

Persons owing toll to the Brookville and Fairfield Turnpike Company will save costs by settling the same with Fielding Berry before the 4th day of March 1867. Persons owing toll at the Fairfield gate can settle with Thos. Logan. All having claims against said Company for repairs on the road will please settle with F. Berry or Mr. Logan before the 4th of March.

The Valley Railroad

The Connersville Times understands that about the 15th of April, regular trains will commence running to Connersville on the Valley Railroad. The depot is to be erected immediately, the timber being already prepared.

The company is doing excellent work in town. The bridges across the canal have been lowered and are being widened to the width of the streets. The company deserves great credit for the energy displayed in pushing ahead the work during a very inclement season.

How Hoosiers Support Churches

A bulletin covering the church work of Indiana for 1907 has been compiled by the State Bureau of Statistics. Among the features show is that the average weekly wages of ministers in Indiana last year was $11.30. The average annual salary was $588.39.

The highest average salary paid annually was by the Swedenborgian church. The amount was $1,350.

The total salary of the ministers of Indiana last year was $1,657,975. The total paid for support of the various denominations was $2,288,460.

The report shows that the total membership of the Indiana churches in 1907 increased 70,490 over the previous year. The total membership is 1,003,145. The statistician estimated that four out of every 10 people in Indiana belong to some church.

The Roman Catholic church has the largest membership, 210,438.

Since the death of Charles F. Goodwin, nothing had been done by the society until Saturday evening, March 7, when the society was called together and John C.

KIWANIS NOTES

The meeting of the Kiwanis club this week was a business meeting. Quite an interesting session was held, as a number of item of business were discussed. (So, tell us more.)

The celebration of the completion of the paving of U.S. 52 from Brookville to Harrison brought out a bit of interest since Harrison, Ohio, club has arranged to celebrate this event on Saturday, November 10, 1928.

After due deliberation the local club decided to cooperate with Harrison in this event. Incidental to this celebration we had brought to our attention a criticism by the public of the Kiwanis club that "they talk about doing but never do much."

If there is any organization locally that put forth more energetic endeavors to get this road paved, we do not know what it is.

Auto Races at Rushville

Sunday, June 29, a series of auto races will be run at the Rushville Motor Speedway, featuring such known drivers as Howdy Wilcox, Dutch Bouman, Louis Schneider, Wilbur Shaw and others. These famous pilots will battle for track records on the fastest oiled dirt track in Indiana. Two large grandstands provide ample seating capacity and there is plenty of free parking space.

Airplane Wrecked

An airplane, enroute from Cincinnati to Chicago, was badly wrecked Sunday when the pilot was forced to make a landing on the farm of Ollie Miles, near Whitcomb. The plane had developed motor trouble and in landing, a gust of wind swerved the machine into a fence, demolishing one wing and badly damaging the landing gear.

The pilot was uninjured and a wrecking crew came from Cincinnati Monday and removed the wrecked plane.

BULLET

Fired Through Glass Door Narrowly Misses Kroger Store Manager

Bernard Rolfes, who recently became manager of the downtown Kroger grocery, located on the west side of Main Street between Fifth and Sixth streets, narrowly escaped death Monday night by a bullet from a revolver fired by some person through the glass of the door opening into the passageway on the south side of the building.

The bullet missed Mr. Rolfes only a few inches, splintered the upper edge of a shelf and struck the brick wall back of the shelving. The shot was fired about 8:30 o'clock, while he was alone in the store.

Whether the dastardly act was committed by an enemy of the new manager or for robbery or some other purpose of course is unknown, for although the officers were immediately summoned, the miscreant had made a safe getaway.

Tuesday, an officer of the company and a detective were here investigating but found no clue to the identity of the person who fired the shot.

A peanut hunt, which proved to be an April Fool joke, was participated in by a few. This started the fun to going.

Thirty-five members and visitors took part in the simple game "Gossip" which caused much merriment.

Stunts were performed, proving they were active young people. The boys and girls sang several songs, the boys proving themselves to be the singers of the evening.

At a late hour, lunch was served consisting of fruit salad and cake, at which Virgil Bowne and Chas. Linegar showed the girls that they were capable to serve the eats.

It was an inexpressible joy and pleasant surprise to the Knights of Columbus to see the Daughters of Isabella render a prepared program at their joint meeting Thursday evening, March 31. It was beyond all expectation. With every number their enthusiasm increased. 

Much praise is due to Miss Lauterbach, who handled with exceptional ability, the work connected with this entertainment. The work was exemplified most beautifully by every character participating, each one displaying an intimate knowledge of her part, which reflected much credit to their teacher.

The program consisted of vocal solos by misses Helen Fries and Clara Smith, accompanied by Miss Hilda Geis, a reading "Robert of Sicily," by Miss Dorothy Reifel, a piano solo by Miss Agnes Humig, two comedies, "Not a Man in the House" and "How a Woman Keeps a Secret," in which 15 girls took part.
