A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE#
City and Vicinity.
of
Now for a bouudlesa contiguity shade. THK season of malodorous smells upon us.
THE coming hot spell casta its suu shine beior6.
THE breezy duster will soon be spread to the breeze.
WHAT will you do for the Fourth ot July celebration. Don't stand back.
THE 4th of July comes on Wednesday —three weeks from next Wednesday.
VACATION time is nearly here, much to the joy of the children and sadness of parents.
An amusing street scene now-a-days is to see a lady kick up her dress and catch it on a fly.
THK only depredators allowed free dom of the city, with full immunity from arrest, are the cows.
MANY cheap railroad excursions are being planned to take our people out of town, and money out of their pockets this Bummer.
THE City Council is again talking sew er, and it is probable that one will be built to relieve the people of the south west part of the city.
IT is said that at some soda fountains in this city the liquid that foams and sparkles in the cup tastes as much like whisky as it did last year.
INCLUDINO the balance turned over by Mr. O'Boyle the former treasurer, the sum of$s9,608.G7 of school fund has come into the bunds of Mr. L. A. Burnett, the treasurer of the city School Board, the past ye&r.
G'HAKLKS READY, another of the cattle stealers, on baing brought before the criminal court, Thursday, withdrew the plea of not guilty, said ho was guilty, and received a sentence of two years in the penitentiary.
WON'T the new Street Commissioner pleaso keep "that alley'J out of the news papers this season. By keeping it clean he can abate two nuisances—that of wa ding through tilth in tho alley, and running across ulmost daily items in the papers.
THK personal property within the city limits, set down for taxable purposes, is 94,040,106.00. Now double this, and you get about the actual value at the present time—so great in tho shrinkage about the time the tax assessor comes around.
THE furnishing of R. Peipenbriiig's and Jacob White's ice cream parlors aro the work of the nrtlzans at Ryce & Walmsloy's Carpet Hall, and aro excellent cards as to skill and taste of the workmen and tho beauty and excellence of the goods sent out from that establishment.
THE City Council yesterday ovening appropriated |100 for the sutl'erors in the Mt. Carmel cyclone. A meeting of citizens arranged for contributions of supplies to bo left at the ofllce of Luther G. llager, at Sohloss', L. A. Burnett's and at Adams Express olflco. Mr. Bryant, agent of the Adams' offered to carry all contributions free.
IT is encouraging to know that our taxes are beiug steadily reduced, year after year. This fact should be generally known abroad, especially by people of capital seeking new locations. Last year the State, county and city tax was $2.02 on each $100. Year before last the levy was f2.ll, and thtf year before that $2.46. The levy for this year by the county will not be over 90 cents. The city tax has been fixed at 1.00, making fl.90—a reduction of 50 cents in three years.
PAY your mechauic a good prl3® if you desire a good Job, and be sure that you pay it to your home mechanic. Do not send abroad for an article that can just as well be manufactured by your neighbor and fellow-townsutau, the industrious and worthy mechanic. He has a right to claim your patronage. He pays taxes, helps to support schools, assists to sustain preaching and build churches, and is a live, active member of the community. Ho lightens your burdens sf ends the money he earns by honest industry, Ibr the support of his family, among those who patrouize him. He has a right, if he is a good workman and citizen, to expect your aid and patronage, tor you are each dependent upon the other as citizens of the same place.
IN an exchange we find the following bit of advice, and commend it to the laboring men of Terre Haute: "All me chanics and laboring men should make every possible effort—and in the effort they should have the aid and encouragement of their employers—in obtaining a home. Real estate is a good savings bank, and rarely proves a bad investment In growing and manufacturing comnmnitUs. A home is the one thing which a man may safely go in debt for many a man dates his first step to independence from the day when he made his first payment upon a little property, trusting to providence and his own industry for what was to follow. In this enterprise he found his wife a helpmeet indeed. Her good management has probably been half the battle, and there may have been a further wholesome effect in teaehiug habits of industry and economy to tho children.
MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses have been issued since our last report:
Joel Holt Nancy C. Larue. Horace M. Reams and Margaret Keefe. Chariot F. Putnam and Lucia E. Cruft. Cornelius Reward and Ellen Farren. Ira K. liderson and Elizabeth C. Beok.
IT is an encouraging sign of improve ment in the financial condition of the country to see how many able bodied men there .are who are willing to pay twenty-five cents rather than play a game of baseball themselves.
THE Horticultural Society held a very pleasant meeting at the residence of Joseph Gilbert, Thursday, passing the time in horticultural talk, eating Joe's strawberries and Mrs. G's victuals. A piquant letter was read from Mrs. R. W. Thompson on things in Washington.
Too much weather for the several picnics planned for to-day. The Cen tenary has postponed until next Satur day and the Baptists will wait until school vacation. The latter will eat their ice cream and other good things at their chapel this evening, and a cordial invitation is extended to all to call and partake.

Thursday evening the grocery store of Patrick Hickoy was burglarized, and about 820 in money taken. Suspicion laid to theerrest of Whitehouse by Chief-of-police Stack, and Mr. Cleary, on Sixth street, about half-past seven o'clock yesterday evening". On being closely questioned he confessed the crime, alleging that George Copeland assisted him. On promise of being released he agreed to regtore his half of the stolen money. He was accompanied to his mother's house to get the money, and then with officer Cleary started to lind Copeland. At about halfpast nine o'clock, on the return to the Station house, as they were passing on the oast side of Fifth, near Ohio street, Whltekoase suddenly drew a revolver, and fired two shots at Cleary, one of which took effect in the back, passing through the shoulder and coming out in front, and the other in the abodomen, about two inches to the left of the navel.
The wounded man was assisted into D. P. Cox's drug store and physicians summoned, who pronounced the wounds fatal. Ue was afterwards taken to his home on north Eleventh street, whore he now lies awaiting the sure approach of death.
Mr. Cleary is about 34 years of age, has beon a resident of this city many years, and has been deputy sheiff three years. He was a kind hearted man, a faithful officer, of jovial disposition, and generally esteemed. He has a wife and one child a boy of about two years.
Whitehouse, on firing the snots, ran in a southwesterly direction, pursued by several gentleman. In the alley In the rear of St. Joseph's church he turned and tired at his pursuers, causing a halt and thus efleeting his escape.
The city Council conversed in special session at ten o'clock last night, and offered a reward of$200 for his capture, dead or alive. No tidings of him up to the time of going to press. It is supposed that he got the pistol when the officers accompanied him home.

The Ticiim is Deputy Sheriff John M. Cleary. Those who have watche the career of Ernest Whitehouse, five or six years ago a bright little Mail newsboy have felt sure that he would eventually come to some bad end. And it has come. Last night in the most cowardly and uncalled for manner he shot and mortally wounded Deputy Sheriff John M. Cleary, as faithful and kind hearted as officer as ever existed.
Whitehouse returned to this city last February, after serving a two years term in the penitentiary for burglary. He manifested considerable signs of penitence, and honestly tried to get work. He took much interest in the Hammond meetings, and has probably aipaed to do right until recently.

I remember the timejlst as well as if it had happend yisterdv. We'd jist bin married a week and 4 clays—it wuz afore Tiizah Ann wuz born—the neybors raised a pole and tbare wuz speekin'attiite. It wuz jist at the close of tho meetin' and all uv -'em wuz purty full of the campane. It seemed as if the very feth^ronmy bunnit stood up strateto hear Via, it wuz so awful. I sot rite side of Josiaii whare he stood, an' as he finished the first varse, I ketched holt of his vest, and sez I, "If you sing another varse in that way I'll part with you— says I—'-what do you mean Josiah?"
