A PROFESSION All CROOK,
William Jacobs Steal* Seven Dollars and is Caught.
Mrs Webster, of Lost Creek, boards at the residence of Mr. Ed. Lawrence, and is taking baths at the Aitisian well. Yesterday Wm. Jacobs, a young man who
has
n'«ht-
exceedingly light fingers,
nipped her pocket book from the
housB
and secured $7. When the money was missed suspicion fell on Jacobs, who was the only suspicious character who had been around. He was arrested and money found on his person, but he denied the crime. Chief A^andever told Mrs. Webster that he would place four $5 bills before Jacobs, one which would be the one found on Jacobs. Her bill was torn, and could be easily recognized. The money was placed before Jacobs and Mrs. Web ster asked to pick out her money .which she did. This was too much for Ja cobs, and he confessed.
AMUSEMENTS.
"Pavements of'Paris."
There was a small audience at the Opera house last evening to witness the first of four productions of the above play in this city, but its enthu siastic reception by the audience guarantees an increased attendance at each successive performance. The audience was surprised and delighted, and. we are sure that had the character of the play, together with the merit ol the company, been better known, there would have been a much larger audience. The scenery is perhaps as fine as any ever brought to this city, and was received with enthusiastic applause. The company is necessarily very large, but there are no "sticks" in it The play will be given to-night to-morrow afternoon and to-morrow
Books Recovered.
Monday night the F.ourth ward school house was burglarized,' and several dollars worth of books taken. The books were recovered at Sibley's second-hand book store, and the information obtained that Ohas. Haynes sold them. He was arrested with James Puckett, but was released until this morning.

'Si. Patrick's fair Is proving a great success. Last night Dowling hall was crowded with fun loving people, and merriment continued until midniget. So successful has the fair been that it was decided to continue to-day and tomorrow- Dinner will be served to-day noon and to-morrow, and supper thie evening and to-morrow evening. There is plenty to eat, and is just the place for a hungry man to go. One of the features to-night will be the voting of a fine violin to the most popular young man in the city. This struggle will be' between W. A. Baker, Andy Kaufman and Joe Davis. To-morrow night a fine watch will be disposed of. The booths are finely arranged, and managed by pretty girls and are qnite an attraction. Ice cream is dealt out in tiny dishes, but the smile and "thank you that goes with if compensates for the shortage of cream. Boqaests are sold for 15 cents each, chances on cakes, chairs, cushions, needle-work are sold for 10 cents..
The Davis family were present last evening and were repeatedly encoured. The tablaux were splendid, and show consideiable study.
The feature of the evening was the auction of "old maids." Col. Hunter was auctioneer. He began his sale by saying that he had something to sell that no man ever attempted to sell before. His family were all girls, and it was necessary to sell them at public sale to get them off his hands. The "old maids" had their faces masked, and were not recognizable. The first installment numbered three. They came forth bowing and courtesing, while the colonel spoke of their many good qualities—able to cook, sew, eat and play. The first bid for choice was ten cento, but the amount soon crept up to $6 and she was knocked off. The other two sold all the way from$l to $5
Thenextinstalment numbered three. They were not beauties, but one was knocked off for $20, the others went for $2 and $3. The last installment numbered four, the choice going for $20 second, $2, and the remainder

Simple words were first given out in order that the pronouncers would be thrown off their guard. There was not so many that sat down without attempting pronunciation as on the previous occasion. It soon became evident tdat the contest would be quite long. The judges alternated between hard and easy words Finally the word "gooseberry" was spelled, and Mrs. M. Diall sat down by giving "s" the hard sound. Prof, Waldo, of Mr. Roony's sido, spelled it correctly and was awarded the cake The match lasted until about 10 o'clock

The Way They Work It. 4 St. Paul Day. .-« A wall-known St. Paul lawyer makes an interesting summary of the division of the ass ts of the noble granger. He says the railway manager, the miller and tbe merchant get their great heads together, carefully estimate what the former grows, what it requires to prevent the dissolution of the body and the spirit, and then coolly proceed to divide the balance between themselves. The railway manager takes the lion's share, the miller follows close after, leaving the merchant to bear the burden of the credits, and in cases of mortality to lead the funeral train as chief mourner. It must be admitted that the St. Paul lawyer is a very close observer and a philosopher of no mean pretensions.
To Cure Pits.
For a fit of passion, walk in the open For a fithof idleness, count the ticking of a clock. For a fit of extravagance or folly, go to the workhouse. For a fit of ambition, go into a churchyard and read the gravestones. For a fit of repining, look about for the halt and the blind, and visit the bedridden and afflicted. 7

mk MY DARLING'S HUME.
Well, John, I'm going right after the election. It is no nse talking. I've worked here for twenty years, and have not put aside over $400 for a rainy day.
That's better than I have done, ust made the last payment on my wife's sewing machine last week. Where have you concluded to go Nebraska or Kansas? I'm going to
Finney county, Kansas. I think, taking everything into consideration, that is the best place forme. I want to get away from these "Wabash chills" I've been out there and I find they have as fine prairie land as I eversav.
I made np my mind when I dug down three feet and foand black loam all the way, that I could raise all th-a crops I wanted in that kind of soil.
How about the water, I have heard you have to go 100 feet for water, and that it waa not very good either. Oh, that ifl a mistake. I examined dozens wells, they are from fifteen to nty-two feet deep, and as good water as I ever drank. How do you expect to get out there yet this fall. You cannot sell your things, money is too close. I have sold my bop and cows and that is all I want to sell. My team chickens, machinery and furniture I
THE TERRE HAUTE-EXPRESS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1 84.
am going to load in a car. and take them direct to Garden City. It will be much cheaper than to sell here and buy new things there. Then I rather dislike parting with some of the things I have owned so long. Well you may do as you please, but I^telieve I'll stay here where I can have good neighhora and schools. I don't like the idea oi going away out west where one cannot get to town once a year. Oh you don't understand, there's plenty of good neighbors there now with nice homes. We will be only ten miles from Garden City, which has a thousand people in it now, and is growing rapidly. They have good schools and an elegant chnrch and all the convenience of our railroad towns here. Besides this there is a colony of a hundred families going from
part of the country, so we
will all be together in our getting a start. We will go out now and get our houses built before cold weather, will get our ground broken before spring. There will be plenty of work most of the winter—enough so that we can live. We will get government land to live on, and some will buy railroad land. I am. going to take a tree claim and a homestead. This will give me 320 acres of the best land for only $50 or $60 actual money out. We can build us a house that will do very well for $200.
Mary told me at breakfast this morning that she was going over to see your wife, and get her in the notion of going, too. You could get a quarter adjoining my two claims. One team would do the plowing for both of us the first year.
You have a good riding breaking plow whii-h would do for both- of us. I won't lave money enough to buy me one, to I would be willing to let you have my team if you would let me have your plow to break mv land—so you could sell your team here,' that would bring you ready money enough, together with what little your corn will bring, to put you out there in good shape. In a few years we could have as nice homes as any one need wish for.
I never saw brighter, prettier weather than they have out there in old Finney—and ttie finest ant«lope hunting and duck shooting that you ever dreamed "of.
No chills out there. It is a regular mountain air you breathe, making you feel ten years younger. Everybody is bright and happy, and all seem prosperous. The biggest crops ever grown out iff the ground are raised out there. Why I saw oats that went over 100 bushels to the acre, and alfalfa that cut six tons to the acre during the season. You can see beets

Elections
Are periodical necessities, of course, in this happy land of popular government. Clothes, on the other hand, area continuing necessity, and will be so, no donbt, until about the time when the "wide firmament shall be rolled up like a scroll." The consumer may sometimes be tempted to wish that his habilatory" envelopes were as lasting as the necessity for them but a little reflection would, no doubt, impress upon him the unwisdom, as well as the utter futility, of such a wish, for if clothes could be made imperishable the consequences would be unspeakably disastrous to one of the most important industries of modern civilization, namely, the manufacture of clothing. So far as this universal and inevitable want comes within the domain of men's and boys' clothing we make the tax which it imposes on consumers as light as possible by meeting them directly with tbe products of our factory, and saving them all intermediate profits by retailing at wholesale prices in every department of
