Terre Haute offers manufacturing Industries unequalled Inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so cheap that flour Is manufactured at less cost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroads leading inio the city, making reight rates cheaper than for any city of Its size in the west.

It pays to advertise on a large scale. Barnum's profit in yesterday's two exhibitious will not fall short of $10,000,

Mrs. Nancy Clem, of Indianapolis, was released from the state reformatory yesterday and is young enough yet to add to her remarkable career in the criminal courts of the htate.

The news from th^

aboard is still

of a depressing character. Further reports sho.v additional loss of vessels and lives, and the weather observers gav worse storms are to follow.

The trustoesof the stateblindasvlum are now turning that institution upside down and sadly impair ingots benevolence by removing competent officials, to make room for strikers. The Indianapolis Journal reminds the trustees that they do not own the institution.

There was abundant evidence yesler day of what Terre Haute and the surrounding country can do in the way of furnishing a big crowd. The attraction was strong. Barnum and Jumbo are two names well known to every man, woman andjchild in this country

The articles published in The Ex press recently, showing the extent of the manufacture of flour in this city are attracting the attention of newspapers devoted to the milling interest, The one point, that owing to our excep tional coal facilities the Hour manufac hirers obtain power cheaper per bar. vel than the Minneapolis- mills, which have the marvelous water power of .St, Anthony's falls, is what clinches the argument in favor of Terre Haute as a manufacturing center.

Ex-Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, who a few days since ceased pardoning criminials out of the peni tentiary because his term of oflice expiied, went to hear Talmage, in Brooklyn, last Sunday. The preacher sent for Governor Blackburn to come up to the pulpit and as he walked up theaisle the immense congregation began singing the announced hymn:

Wliile the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest Rinner may return. The ex-governor says he was never so embarrassed in his life.

The farmers in this part of the state will appreciate the following from the Indianapolis Journal: "The extent of malicious barn-burning in this state has grown to be alarming. It not only destroys the property, but runs up the rates of insurance and thus taps the pocket of all who carry policies upon this class of property. There is urgent "eed of the barn-burner getting seri ously but accidentally shot. A little carelessness among farmers with the ritle, while their barns are filled with the summer's harvest, might result in jfreat good to the community.''

Chief Chartos, of the Flathead Indians became violent yesterday when Senator Vest told him in a dictatorial manner that his tribe must go to another reservation. The one now occupied and given to the Indians when the white man wanted the one they formerly occupied is desired by the encroachers. Senator Vest speaking for the commission reminded Chaitos that the Nez Perces were forcibly removed when they refused to leave a reservation, but the reminder was a sad mistake on Vest's part, as Chartos quickly replied that he and his tribe rescued the whites and the soldiers from Chief Joseph and his Nez Perces warriors after they went on the war path in preference to being removed. Tt is the old story, and is apparently to be repeated with Chartos. As he says lie and his tribe have never shed the white man's blood. He and his tribe are pursuing a life of peace, rapidly becoming civilized, sending the children to school and making the best of a lot, not chosen by themselves but forced upon them by our faulty Indian policy. It is a parallel case to that of the Nez Perces, who were farming and advancing in civilization in Washington Territory when the white man concluded he wanted to settle upon the lands in the reservation, a reservation given over to the Nez Perces under a most scrupulous and binding treaty. As Sena-

WW'ZJ*

tor |Vest told Chief Chartos yesterday so Joseph was informed he must move. He declined to do so. He went on the war path and General Howard chased him all over the Rocky Mountains, Joseph outwitting him at every point, and costing the government much money.

Finally, General Miles struck a peace

with the Indians in the Yellowstone country. In his report he gave them credit for being "the most honorable of all the Indians in our western country." They were taken to the Indian Territory, that Botany Bay, to a climate wholly different from the one in the far north to which they liad become accustomed. During the first year one-half of them died of malarial fevers and now, seven vears later, not a tenth of "the most honorable of all our Indians" are alive. It may be the natural course of events but it is rough on the Indian who may be a barbarian, yet he deserves fair treatment from an opponent who is powerful enough to be magnanimous.

An Insinuation.

Clay County Enterprise. If it don't rain soon Terre Haute will want an appropriation to pay for pumping water Into the Wabash to keep the flsh alive.

A Crowded Conioienoe.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Colonel Armstrong, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, boasts that he never voted other than the Democratic ticket, but he has one vote this fall that will crowd his conscience to the limit.

Asking Too Mnoh.

National Republican. The state of Ohio gave birth to Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Wade, Glddlngs and Chase. It Is too much for the Democracy to ask that it be turned over now to the party which furnished Vallandigham as Its candidate for governor during the war.

Disgusted.

Courier-J urnal. We have hitherto mentioned that an Otiio election once in each twenty years would about meet the wishes of the people of this great and growing country. If further remarks are in order, we shall move to strike out twenty and insert one hundred as more fully meeting the necessities of the case.

THE RAILROADS.

Various Items of Current NewsLocal and General.

The Indianapolis Pool—Fan Ahead. The Indianapolis Journal, speaking of the proposed organization of the

In(,ian^olis pool) 9ays that within

the

next few days stepB will be taken to organize an east-bound pool at that point in the place of the statistical bureau which has been in operation since the'firat organized pool fell to pieces. The trouble will be in fixing per cents. No one who knows the situation believes that the roads, among themselves, can agreeon'the per cents, as, at the very outset, the management of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road claim that they should be allowed the same per cent, as the Bee Line or the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg road, and of course these old roads will protest, and this will force the fixing of the ier cents, into the hands of arbitrators, is now proposed to get the pools at Indianapolis and Peoria into working order by November 1 at the furthest. Already several applications have been made for the position of pool commissioner or joint pool agent. One prominently mentioned for the position is Andy Graydon, who some years ago held a position with the Pittsburg, Cincinnali, & St. Louis. It is claimed that he is a man well fitted for such an official. It will be a delicate position to occupy, as there will be the managements of six roads to please— namely, the Bee-line, the C. St. L. & P. the C., H. & I., the I., B. & W„ the Wabash, and the C., I., St. L. & C.

Large Passenger Business The roads had a large passenger business yesterday. It is estimated as follows: c. & E. I E. & T. $0 Vandalia J™J I. & St. -1.500 Illinois Midland 300 T. H. & S. E 300

Crawfordsville News: The Vandalia have just completed their track into the new coal vein they have opened at Jessup, Parke county. Thev will ship in anew grade of coal, which they claim is much better than any coal they have yet found in Parke county.

AMUSEMENTS.

Haverly's Minstrels.

It goes without saying that Haverly'i Minstrels, at the Opera house next Saturday evening, will have a crowded house. Nothing need be said as to the merits of the entertainment, as the troupe is well known as being unequal ed. Speaking of the performance in that city, the Chicago Journal says "Seldom has Haverly's Theatre been filled and packed as it was last even ing. The audience was a most appre ciative one, and all went away more than satisfied with the performance. The press of matter this morning precludes the notice of last evening's performance in the manner desired. But suffice it to say that, taken in its en tirety, the company is most complete and talented. The first part was fat above

he average. The jokes introduc

ed being largely new, while the vocal music was extra good, the selections of the double quartette being from operas, instead of ballads. The olio was fine, and full of sparkling fun."

A Confessed Horse Thief. Decatur Herald. Daniel Fasig, chief of police of Terre Haute, accompanied by W.H. Brown, of the same city, arrived in Decatur yesterday noon, having in charge Wm. Hughes, self-confessed horse thief. Hughes confesses to having stolen the horse belonging to Lewis Sheets, a farmer living east of the city, which disappeared from a hitching rack near the old Revere house, on the night of August 9. William E. Dwyer, a detective living in Terre Haute, made the arrest last Thursday morning, on information which he had received by a card sent out by the authorities here. Hughes, who formerly worked on a farm near Atwood, confessed his crime to W. H. Brown, a stock buyer of Indianapolis. He denied having done so, however, to the officers at Terre Haute, but while en route here yesterday he made a full confession to Chief of Police Fasig. The horse has not vet been recovered, though it probably will be, as Hughes has told where and to whom he sold it.

Lon Harjrave off for Persia. Mr. Lon Hargrave, of Rockville, and lately on the force of.the Express, was in the city yesterday and left on the afternoon train for New York, whence he sails on the City of Berlin Saturday, for Liverpool and thence proceeds to Persia. He will meet the Rev. Mr. Oldfather at New York, and they will travel together through northern Europe to Odessa, across the Black Sea and overland to their destination. The journey will occupy several months. Mr. Hargrave goes

His many friends in this city will be glad to know that through the columns of the Express Mr. Hargrave will make known the interesting features of his trip and of his life in Persia.

Qnite a ripple of excitement was created on the streets yesterday forenoon by the report that Mrs. Alice H. Sheets had been found on the streets

DISGUISED AS A COLORED WOMAN The particulars, as learned from Officer Dan Crowe, are: About 10:30 o'clock his attention was called to a person on the corner of Third and Main streets, dressed as a colored woman. The man who called the officer's attention to the woman said he thought it was a boy in women's clothing disguised as a negro. Crowe followed the woman across the street to Reibold's shoe store, when he stepped up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She said "i AM MRS. JOAB! I am hunting my child."

Mr. Crowe then asked her to go with him to Mr. Mack's office. Mr. Mack was not in, and the officer left her there and went to the office of Mr. Samuel Stimson, another one of her attorneys. Mr. Crowe states that Mr. Stimsonsaid "Let her alone if she c&n get her child all right." Mr. Crowe ttien went to police headquarters, told his story, and was told that the police must not meddle. He then returned to the office of Mr. Mack and found Mrs. Sheets gone.

JOAB TREMBLING IN niS BOOTS. Evening Gazette. Mr. M. M. Joab says his divorced wife, Mrs. Sheets, called at his office about noon to-day, and asked to see on attorney. She stood out in the hall-way and did not enter the office. Mr. Joab called out of his office window to Mr. Pierce, one of his attorneys, and Mr. Pierce came up and had a talk with Mrs. Sheets in Mr. Hamill's office, which is right across the hall-way from his office. Mr. Joab says he was certain that Mrs. Sheets had a revolver in her pocket. He says after Mr. Pierce had concluded with Mrs. Sheets, Mr. Pierce told him he had better be on his guard that he was convinced she had a pistol in lier possession. Mr. Pierce stated that Mrs. Sheets had made a demand for the child.

THE THEORY.

There were many comments on the Btreets, yesterday, regarding the affair. The theory was that she expected to find the child in the city yesterday, in tended to seize it and carry it away, and thus be ahead of Michael Moses, and mfike him the attacking party.

The Agricultural Society. The board of directors of the Vigo Agricultural society will meet next Saturday, reports read and business of the last fair closed. It is un derstood that a number of the directors will withdraw.

Not in His Employ.

W. T. Leggett, the excursion agent, denies that Gratham, arrested on the charge of forgery, was in his employ. Leggett loaned him money to take him to Kansas, and that is about all, he ever had to do with him.

INDIANA'S VOTERS.

Increase of Over Ten Per Cent, in tlie White and Twenty-Five Per Cent, in the Colored Vote In Six Years. Indianapolis News.

Tippecanoe, the last county to report to-day sent in a statement of her voters, completing the county returns, and en abling the auditor of state to make up a table of voters by congressional districts, as required by law. This enu meration is made every six years, the report of 1877 showing a voting popu lation in Indiana of 451,026, against 499,833 in 1883, an increase of 48,607. Of the increase, 46,565 were whites, and 2,042 colored. The total number of colored voters, as seen below, is 10,298, an increase of twenty-five per cent, in six years. The white vote in 1873, 489,535, shows an increase of a fraction over ten per cent. The white population of the first district, comprising Gilson, Perry, Pike, Posev, Spencer, Vanderburg add Warrick counties, and the eleventh district, comprising Adams, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Huntington, Jay, Miami, Wabash and Wells counties, shows the greatest increase, the former increasing from 34,974 to 41,166 and the latter from 39,479 to 45,519. The seventh (Indianapolis) district shows the largest colored vote and the heaviest increase and the twelfth and lowest, having only 89 rotes in 1883 against 71 in 1877. Some of the districts show a heavy decrease in the colored vote, but all show a material increase in white votes. The drift of the colored votes is evidently to the cities.

The following is a comparative table of the enumeration of 1877 and 1883:

Senator McDonald's Evidence. Commercial Gazette. Auditor Cappeller returned yesterday from Chicago. He reports a good thing on Senator McDonald, of Indiana, told him by the Times reporter, who had interviewed him the day before he tackled the auditor. The interviewer asked the senator a question which caused him to reply as follows: "My young man, I carry the evidences of my democracy with me—a dirty shirt and an empty bottle."

The Greatest Question Everywhere. Interview-with Herr Lasker the German Leader. "What is at present the great leading question of the day in your land?" "The social question there, as well

as elsewhere, is an absorbing one. Hdjf to repress the avaricious ~po#fer of tlte rioh, and how to improve tbe condition of the poor, is a problepi. which must employ the minds of the profoundest thinkers of the day." "How would you reform the condition of the poor?" we asked. "The poor must helj) themselves. To make men self-sustaining, and not dependent upon others, is of the first importance. In Germany each city and village has its societies of laboring people, similar, perhaps.,to your labor unions here, each member of whom contributes to a general fund. If a workman becomes ill and unable to labor, he receives from this fund a sufficient amount to supply his wants.

Ayer'9Saksapauilla has for over forty years been recognized by eminent medical authorities as the most powerful blood purifier in existence.
