W. H. Bannister has returned from the East with an immense stock of new goods.

Chief of Police Gllmore played the country Yahoo on sotne Indianapolis sharpers in a Main street beer garden lsst night. Some thoughtless person recognized Gilmore, and the game was stopped short of the detection of t^e sharpers.

Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Judge Jno. J. Key were thrown from a carriage near Louisville, on Wednesday evening, by a runaway team coming down a hill at the rate of about a mile a minute. Both were bruised, but neither was seriously hurt. Their carriage was broken into a thousand fragments, They were returning from the wedding of James Bunce, at the residence of Mr. Polk, four miles from Louisville.

Bv proper announcement elsewhere it w*ill be seen that Mrs. Capt. Harbert, formerly Miss Lizzie Boynton—the gifted girl who attained the reputation of being able to make the best speech and bake the best loaf of bread of any woman in the Hoosier State—has added a recruit of her own to the ranks of the woman suffragists. We don't want to discourage, nor yet a false prophet be, but we fear that the boy will vote before his mother does yet. But we hoj» not. Mrs. Harbert, it will be remembered, was the lady who had a petition prepared to present to our last Republican State Convention, asking for woman the ballot. She will also be remembered bv our readers as a writer who has contributed many articles of value and interest to the columns of the Register.—Des Moines (Iowa) Regis ter, 6th.

The ladies are going to have a fair, "that is," a fair show. They are not going to wear old-fashioned hats and bonnets and other millinery contraptions any longer. They are going to throw them all away and go to Herz A Arnold's and buy some of the new and beautiful styles there exhibited, and sold at awful, awful, awful low prices, and while there, they will spend a few more dimes on those nice French corsets, gloves, collars, cuffs, hosiery and all sorts of not ions. What a blessing such a store as Herz A Arnold's is. Ain't it, now.

Kissner, at the Palace of Music has a great advantage over his competitors in the sale of musical instruments in the facts that he buys directly from the manufacturers and he buys in immense quantities, thus getting a heavy discount. i|He also owns his business house and has no rent to pay.

He also deals in the celebrated Fairbanks' scales. We cheerfully advise all readers of the Maii, to buy their feed of him, corner Ninth and Main streets.

It is a positive fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is equally positive that S. L. Straus has the most attractive stock of hats, bonnets, corsets, ribbons, flowers, notions, etc., in the city, and sells them for less money than some other dealers pay for them. Consequently every lady who reads the Mail should be seen wending her way towards 149 Main street.

The fall stylos of bonnets and- hats are more beautiful than ever, and those at T. H. Riddle's, 151 Main street, are the cream of excellence, good taste and fashion. Riddle has very many rare attractions in millinery goods, corsets, hosiery, trimmings, fancy article^ etc., that is a real pleasure to buy, especially when such low prices are named. Join in the rush ladies.

The announcement that Secretary Boutwell has completed arrangements for the placing of the new five per cent, bonds on the market does not deter the people from making their selections of watches, rings, etc., ami their presentation gifts from amongst the solid silver services at the bower of golden beauties of J.

It is possible to dress in an elegant manner, and to have most feshionable goods, without paying extravagantly high prices and reference is made, as far as fall suits are concerned, to the excellent stock of W. H. Bannister, who has a very large stock of cloths, cassimeres, Ac., and is prepared to get up suits iif elegant style.

Moore A Hagerty are always up with the times. They are constantly enlarging their stock of grates and mantels.

The wines and liquors sold by J. B. Lyne A Co., are the purest and best to be had in the West. Their wines are especially praised by good judges. Their trade is very large and is constantly increasing, as they never lose a customer and are constantly gaining new ones.

The county fair has been a grand success, and so has the Terre-Haute Musical Institute. It has been in operation only one year, and yet has established a reputation which many older institutions might well be proud of. For a first-class musical education, send your children to Prof. Shide.

During the first week of school B. G. Cox has sold loads of school books, Blates, etc., and has still a large stock on hand which he will dispose of at bottom prices. He has everything that is required in either the city or Normal SChOOlS.
