GAR WORKERS RESUME

BOTH SIDES MAKE CONCESSIONS AND TROUBLE ENDS

COMPROMISE ON INCREASE

Committee and Manager Cox Agree on Terms After the Men Had Walked Out.

All was peaceful at the car works today. After employes of the

Greeting

shop went on a strike at hoon yesterday when their iirst demand for a change in the wage scale was refused, there vva's another conference in the afternoon that brought concessions from both sides, arid the men agreed to return to work this morning upon the agreement that they are to be paid 35 cents more on a ear than was first offered by the company. The committee which waited upon General Manager L. J. Cox yesterday was composed of John Snyder, Jeff Lintz and Tom Herard. After the committee's first report was made to the men in the erecting shop they decided to go out. The strike affected about 150 men. It is not a new thing for the employes of the erecting shop to walk out as there usually is a difference after each contract for new cars is received. They continue to work until the contract is finished after agreeing on the wage scale by th piece system. The trouble this time was increased, through Superintendent Read lug's idea of introducing new method but. the men finally have agreed to giv the. new superintendent's plans a tlior ough trial before quitting work on that account. The company has just started to turn out 500 flat cars for the 'Frisco svstem.

MORE CO'AL NEAR

Mines to be Opened Along the Interurban Line East of This City.

Steps toward opening new mines along the lirazil-Terre Haute Interurban elec trie line have been taken and it is uti derstood that Chicago capital is behind the movement. A tract of 300 acres of fine coal lands lying near Billtown has been taken up by F. W. Weaver and Oliver Wilkins both of Brazil. Drills will be put down at once to determine the quantity and quality of the Billtown fuel but there is little doubt but that the land will bear all expected $f it. Billtown is situated on the Interurban line a short distance this side of Brazil. It is in Clay count}*. The names of the Chicago operators for whom Weaver and Wilkins are acting are not known.

NEW MAIL ROUTES

The City is Redistricted and the New Order Becomes Effective Saturday.

The mail carriers will start out on the new routes as arranged in the recent, redistricting of lie city by Postmaster Gray. This will make some difference in .the hours that mail will be taken up, and delivered and will make some people get their mail earlier, while others will get it later than heretofore, but the public in general will be much benefitted by the change.

There will be four deliveries and five eollections in the business portion of the city and this will include the district from Fourth street west which has before this had only three deliveries a day.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE

Interesting Experiment in Restaurant. An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a reeent western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.

While waiting for his order lie glanced over his newspaper and noticed the advertisement of a well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many of the other traveling men in the dining room were also friends of the popular remedy for indigestion.

He says: "I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office I took the trouble to interview them and was surprised*to learn that nine of the twenty-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.

One of them told me he had suffered so much with stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from indigestion, but he continued their use, especially while traveling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all traveling men he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted.

Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased, without fear of a sleepless night or any other trouble.

Still another used them because he was subject to gas on the stomach, causing pressure on heart and lungs, shortness*

of

breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly.

Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly tised common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use.

After smoking, drinking or other excesses which weaken the digestive organs nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effectually as Stuart's Tablets.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which every weak stomach lacks, as well as mix, hydrastin and yellow parilla, and can be safely relied upon as a radical cure., for every form of poor digestion. Sold-by. druggists everywhere.

Was in.Trouble With Two Girls and Fled to Escape Arrest—Battered the Safe Lock.

So far as is known, no trace has Been had of Harry Compton who a few days ago, decamped after robbing the safe .of the Highland Iron and Steel company, where he was employed as paymaster. The exact amount of money taken by the young man is not known though it is supposed to be in the neighborhood of $500. The management of the mill is close mouthed regarding the affair, and if they are making any great effort to capture the young man, they are very quiet about it, as they have not, up to this time, enlisted the aid of the police. It was not until several days after the robbery that the facts were given out, and the delay afforded the young thief an opportunity of getting a good start. The Tribune was given a tip of the robbery the morning after it was committed but the management of the plant refused to confirm the report, and denied that the concern had been robbed.

Compton was the confidcn+iil clerk and paymaster for the compn and the management had the most, implicit confidence in him. All the money that was paid to the employes passed through his hands and at many times has he had the opportunity to leave with more than five times the amount, of money he took with him. But he was a high roller, and was forced to leave inst when retribution was about to overtake him. Fortunately for his employers, if happened that there was but about $500 in the safe when the time came for him to leave Bumor. which plays a prominent, part, in all such onse« says that. Compton was in trouble with two young women of this city and that both were urging him to redeem his promise to marry. He put them off to th^ Inst possible moment. He found he mu«t leave the city to escape arrest, and so helped himself to the 'company's money. Tt. is said that he entered the office at night when the higher officials were out of the city, and helped himself to the cash. After opening the safe he battered the combination lock so badly that it cannot be used aeainif As he was familiar with the combination, it is supposed that he battered the lock to leave the impression that the robbery was committed.by some person other than himself. It is not known where the young man has gone, but some are of the opinion that he started for South America. Tt is said that besides his trouble with women, Compton gambled and had staked and lost money belonging to the company. The Star, published at Muncie, Compton's former home, says the young man was well known in that city was popular in society and regarded as an estimable young man. His parents also live there and are highly respected people, his father beinsr connected with the iron mill there. The Star savs that the parents claim to know nothing as to the young man's whereabouts. The family was surprised and greatly humiliated bv the affair.

MCCARTHY'S MISHAPS

The Show is Denied the Grand Opera House Tonight After Fracas Last Night.

Barney Ferguson and John Mack found the last of McCarthy's Mishaps in Terre Haute. The show was put on the stage at the Grand last night in about the usual style. It never was a very good show and Avas not any better this time. The audience, which was a small one. held on bravely till nearly the last curtain. There was a little net behind the scenes which might have interested the audience more than anything in front of the scenes. One of the engaging young, ladies refused to respond to an encore which led to a lively quarrel among the show people. Disorder behind the scenes, and the provocation to disorder on the stage in some of the alleged attractions, caused Manager Barhydt to cancel the engagement for tonight, although not in time to interrupt the aihletiu performance of Barney and Johnny in the last act, which is so bad as to be funny.

EIGHTEENTH DISTRICT

Commencement Exercises Last Night Were Well Attended—Prtf. Johonnott Talked.

Tlie entertainment at the Eighteenth district school last night was very pleasing to the 275 people who attended. The feature of the program was the stereoptiean views on "Ben Hur" by Dr. Edwin Johonnott, of Rose Polytechnic. The exhibition was 'particularly entertaining and instructive. The program was interspersed with songs by the pupils. The patriotic school song, "Joliv Students/' by a chorus of -forty students, was greeted with applause.

The members of the January class, 190a, of the Eighteenth district, are: Koss May. Homer Howe, Hala Moldavian, Ova Orcal, Floy Woods, Bruce Ferree, William Littlefield, Herbert Smith, Frank Martin, William Wallace, Fred Stalnaker and Emma Dean.

THE FIRST INSTALLMENT of Taxes (which includes all Road Tax) must be paid on or before the first Monday in May, or the Taxes for the whole year will become delinquent and ten per cent, penalty on the Tax for the whole year and cost of collection will be added as provided by law. „. THE SECOND INSTALLMENT must be paid on or before the first Monday in November following, or ten per cent, will be added as provided by law but any tax-payer may, at his option, pay the full amount of his taxes for the whole year on or before the first Monday in May, 1903,

ASSIGNEES, GUARDIANS, ADMINISTRATORS and others who pay taxes on property in trust, and persons whose taxes are complicated, such as UNDIVIDED ESTATES, etc., are earnestly requested to settle such taxes before the last few days, as it ofter requires much time to make the divisions and separate receipts therefor. If you have property in more than one township or corporation, or if you wish to Day taxes on land not in your own name, do not fail to call the Treasurer's attention to it. You are taxed for what you own on April First of each year and all taxes become a lien on the property at that time. The sale and transfer of property does not effect the lien for taxes. Section 8590—Burns' Annotated Statutes,' revision of 19G1.

Carefully examine your receipt before leaving the office and see that it covers ALL your property, and if there is any mistake have it corrected at once. Call on the County Auditor for reductions claimed. The Treasurer can, not make redactions or_cpr.re.ct ,errO£s. Taxpayers find it greatly to their advantage to cajl immediately^and get ai memorandum of the taxes due from them. *1^

Road receipts will not be received except on the first installment of taxes. No county order will be paid to any person owing delinquent taxes.'
