The Terre Haute Gazette is fairer than some hoy orators on the amount of per capita circulation. It says: Answering a correspondent we say that the per capita circulation in this country July 1, 1873, was 118.58, July i, 1896 it was $21.15. The democratic majority in Arkansas wasn’t big enough at lirst.
It didn't size up satisfactorily to the Vermont election and the orders, no doubt, went out from Chairman Jones to make it bigger and to keep up the tree count. The count is still going on and the ‘•majority’’ is growing. KurBlnr Captured. The burglar who robbed Dr. W. G. Overstreet’s residence ou Monday night was arrested at Indianapolis Tuesday by Detective Thornton at No 2 Indiana Avenue. The fellow was trying to sell some clothing and was arresteu on sus picion. Marshal Starr received a telegram Irom Suut. Colbert last night telling him of the find and inquiring if Overstreet lived here. The Journal says of the capture: “In the telescope were found three pairs of trousers and two coats. On these articles were several small drips of candle grease, presumably made while the prisoner was going through some house after dark. In the handkerchief were found it caudle, several cards with ’ Miss Overstreet - ’ printed upon them. Three letters we-o also found, one addressed to George Kohler, the name given by the man when he was slated. The letter was dated at Si. Louis, Kohler’s home. Another was a short note addressed to Dr. W. G. Overstreet, city, hut there was no e'ew to the name of the city. The third letter was a letter winch had been taken from the envelope and which begun “Dear Doctor”. The letter was written bv 'V. W. Dunnington, of Westfield, Ind.. and was of a business character. From it the detectve learned that the home of Dr. Overstreet is in Greencastle, Ind. Communication will now be opened with Dr. Overstreet, providing there is Mil'll a man in Greencastle, of which there is little doubt in the mind of the detective. Kohler i> a white man, about thirty-five years of age, dark eomplexioned and wears a dark mustache. Marshal Starr left this afternoon for Indianapolis to get the prisoner and the goods. We live in a country of which the principal scourge is stomach-trouble. It is more wide-spread than any other disease, and, very nearly, more dangerous. One tiling that makes it so dangerous is that it is so little understood. If it were better understood,it would be more feared, more easily cured, less universal than it is now. .So, those who wish to be cured, lake Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root of the trouble as no other medicine does. The pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, of which it is composed, are what render it so certain and, at the same time, so gentle a cure. It helns and strengthens the stomach, purifies ami tones up the system. Sold by diuggists, price 10 cents to if 1.00 per bottle. Tin* Priest Seduction Cane. The case of State of Indiana vs. Henry C. Priest, for seduction, in which Miss Bettie Badger is the complainant, was concluded in circuit court this afternoon. The evidence was all in by 10:30 o’clock and the argument began at that time. Mr. Lewis spoke for the state. Mr. Smiley for the defense and Mr. Hays closed this afternoon for the state. The judge instructed the jury at 2:15 o’clock at which hour they retired. At the time of going to press a„ three o’clock the jury had not reached a decision.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Central Union Telephone Company Again. New Chief. At council on Tuesday evening Mr. Collett, of Indianapolis, representing the Central .Union Telephone company, asked permission to use the streets of the city for rebuilding their present line to Indianapolis, and of such other streets that they might want to use in building toll lines to other cities. They asked for no franchise for exchange purposes. The matter was referred to the same special committee that handled the first franchise asked by the company— Messrs. Abaras, Hathaway, Miller and Moore. They will report at next meeting. The matter of a fire chief election wtis taken up to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of G. B. Cooper. James Merry weather was elected, receiving five votes and G. B. Cooper 1. Mr. Merryweather has been acting as chief since July 1 and his pay will date back to that time. The street committee reported that in their opinion it was expedient and desirable that Indiana street be openeti to the width of tO feet from Hanna street to the southern city limits. The city attorney and engineer were instructed to prepare a resolution referring the matter to the city commissioners for action. The street committee reported on the claim ol Gasper Renick for overflow damages and decided that the claim was too large. They intimated that they would compromise for about $3.50. Mr. Miller upon the subject of lighting said that the present lighting contract of the city would ex pire in 1897, and that he having always been in favor of municipal ownership of light plant, he thought it would be a good idea to begin now to investigate the costs of plants and make u thorough examination even if the city did not operate their own plant. Mr. Hathaway joined Mr. Miller and seconded the motion saying that the knowledge would be of benefit if no move was taken in the matter. The ma3’or appointed Messrs. Miller, Perkins and Walls and Engineer Throop a committee to investigate the matter. The claim ordinance was as follows:

AT NORTHWEST CONFERENCEKeport for t.reenruHtle IMstrirt for tl.e Year rinding September The report of Rev. D. M. Wood, presiding elder of Greencastle District, read at conference fit Terre Haute today was as follows: I. THE PERSONNEL OF THE DISTRICT. There are forty men under regular appointment in Greencastle Di-nict. thirty-four pastors in charge, three assistant pastors, and two members of the conference appointed professors in DeI’attw university, and the presiding elder. I am persuaded that no more devoted and untiring workmen have ever entered any field. During the year tin re has been no one of them seriously sjck nor hindered by sickness in any of their families, and no death in any of their hemes. Mrs. Eiiliu Mason and Kev. J. E. Xewhouse were called from our midst early in the conference year. The number of pastors in the district is so large, who have achieved special victories by well directed and persistent efforts, that I will not ask your time for personal mention and deserving compliments, but simply outline in a brief way the results of their
untiring efforts. II. REVIVAL WORK.
Several evangelists have given their time in aiding our pastors, Dr. Ostrum, Kev. Mr. Harris and wife, Miss Bella Cromwell, Bevs. Miller, Campbell, Reid, and possibly others. About sixteen hundred have joined the chureh ou probation. 'Die distribution of this number shows that all the pastors are evangelists. We have made a persistent effort to relieve our membership records of the totally undeserving, and all the pastors, stewards, leaders have become deeply interested in these directions.
III. CHL'RCII PROPERTY.
On Dec. 15 we dedicated a new frame chureh costing $2000, at Mecca. Park « o. Jan. the IDth the new brick church with three rooms costing over $5000, was dedicated at Montezuma. On April 19 we dedicated Grace Tabernacle at the corner of Fourth and Willow streets, Terre Haute. This was a missionary enterprise established by First church some years ago. It is now set apart with its own quarterly conference and asks tiie entire time of a pastor for next year. A beautiful church with two rooms, large vestibule and furnace room under the church was dedicated at Grant.Aug. 23. The property including lot and furniture will cost $3000.00. This society was organized a year ago last August. The official members of Centenary church Terre Haute began about four years ago a series of cottage prayer and class meetings in the extreme eastern part of the city. This year the pastor of Centenary believed the time had come to organize another society and urged the movement until one of the most Deautiful frame churches in our conference is now being completed at the corner of 14th street and 3rd avenue. The church is now well organized with an excellent quarterly conference, fliey ask the appointment of a minister who will devote all his time to their church. At Coal Bluff, Morton and Cartersburg we are building new churches; all are now being roofed. The first is a plain frame building, the other two are of brick, and of the best modern design and will cost about $4000.00 each. At Bono Dana circuit we have held services for years in the Presbyterian clitirch. During this year we have bought the building, the goodwill aiuV right of way and arc reconstructing the church building. A new Epworth League room is now being completed at Sandford. A parsonage has been bought at Marshall and also at Maple Ave. Terre Haute. In all, twelve new building enterprizes this year. Only two of these, Montezuma and Mecca, were under war at our last eon- | ferencc. Ot the tl’irtv-one new churches and parsonages built during the last live years twenty-three are entirely lelieved from debt, anil four of the remaining eight are not vet dedicated. $153.0(1 lias been spent lids year on French missions, and four hundred dollars ou Hendrix, Brazil. 81111ton circuit has had a marked year in improvement of property and pay nt of debt, in all over $1 lOO.O'i. The church at Fillmore has been reroofeil tepapered, etc., also the same at Bell-iiit-re. Uaylon chun h has spent $130 in improvement. Several os her p ages and ehurchc- have been materially
improved.

James Durham, the well known druggist, yesterday received a latter from Scnuouke Ogata, a native of Japan, who was in Mr. Durham’s class at DePauw university, ’85. Mr. Durham had not heard from his classmate for some time, and was. of course, very much pleased on receiving it. But the letter al so contained a very happy surprise for hue. It contained a group pic ture of Mr. Ogata, his wife, who is a very refined looking woman, and four little Ogatas, who are all bright, intelligent looking children. Mr. Ogata and family reside in Tokio, the capital of Japan. He wrote the letter Aug. 7, requiring not quite a month for its transmission. Mr. Ogata has an important official position with the Japanese government, and some day may be sent as a member of the diplomatic corps of the United States. If so, he announces his intention of visiting Mr. Durham and family. Joe Crews, who also went to DePauw in the eighties, well remembers Mr. Ogata.—Mnncie Times. Miss Alice Poucher, daughter of Rev.
