WHITE

Shuttle Sewing Machine

"When onoe used will retain its place forever.

It is celebrated for its advantages, in that it Is one of the largest sewing machines manufactured—adapted alike to the use of the family or the workshop. It has the largest shuttle, with a bobbin that holds almost a spool of thread.

Theshultle tension is adjustable without removing the shuttle from the machine. This machine is so constructed that the power is npplied directly over the needle, thusennbling it to sew the heaviest material with unequaled ease. It is very simple In Its construction, durable as iron and steel can make it, all its wealing parts case hardened or steel, and iugenlously provided with means for taking up lost motion so we are Justified in Wnrrnntinff Every Machine for 3

Yearn.

It is the lightest and easiest running machine in the market, it is, also, the most aborately ornamented and prettiest machine ever produced.

With all these advantages, it is sold from 15 to 825 less than other first-class machines

THE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL Is good medium of communication between Terre Haute business men and the ople who buy their good*— Because, It has the largest circulation any paper published In this city. But sot on this aooount alone, but— Because, It goes into the family elide on

Because, It la a paper whleh reaches all classes, high and low, rich and poor. Because, Of its very largo circulation among farmers. Because, It Is an especial favorite with the ladles, who do a large part of the buying of household goods, in addition tothejew' elry and dress goods they wear, and are critical readers of advertisements. Because, Two editions are published, Thurs day acd Satmday evenings, and all ad vertlsements go both editions for price of one issue.

THE big circus and menagerie next Friday. THE city election occurs one weak from Tuesday.

THE street sprinklers are getting in their needed work with good results.

OUR farmer readers are directed to the card of U. R. JefFers, of the Vigo Woolen Mills.

THE buds and blossoms all over the eity indicate an abundant fruit crop, if au untimely frost does not nip them.

AN orchestra of thirty or forty instruments, including the Ringgold Band will be organized next month for the Seengerfest.

THE appearance of the heads of sever al young men indicate that the barbers have commenced the annual spring sheep shearing.

WHO will say that it is a sin to ride out into the country to-morrow afternoon, and view nature now awakening from its long winter rest?

..

CLIFT & WILLIAMS have forty-seven men at work, and with this large force find it difficult to push forward work as fast as their patrons demand.

THK case of surgical instruments stolen recently from Dr. Swafford has been recovered by officer Vanderver. It had been sold by the thief at a second hand store in Brazil.

OUR citizens are subscribing UDeraiiy for the Ssengerfest. The soliciting committee report over two thousand dollars—Herman Hulman and Anton Meyer giving $200 each.

DON'T forget to vote ou the city library question, and see that all your neigh bora do likewise. Terre Haute has the best schools in the country, our people are noted for their culture, refinement and intelligence, and a good public library seems to be particularly desira ble.

FIRE insurance companies must be salting down eonsiderable sums of money in this vicinity. It has been a long, long time since there has been a fire of any great consequence. With our present efficient fire department and excellent system of wator works an extensive fire is almost an impossibility.

A TOST of the Grand Army of the Republio will be organized in this city next week, some forty names, including our most prominent citizen soldier?, having signed tho application for a charter. The organization, we learn, has been entirely remodeled, and as now instituted should command the membership of every honorably dis charged soldier.

GSORGB MCMANUS, a well known and popular freight oondactor on the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, while attempting to step from one oar to another fell between the cars and under the wheels, on Monday afternoon, receiving Injuries causing death in a few hour*. The accident occurred at Haubstadt, and the body was taken to Evansville for interment. He was thirty-one years of age, unmarried, and had been in the employ of the road forJtwelve years.

THB Old Folks' concert, at the First Baptist church, was such a marked success, and gave such general satisfaction that it shoald be repeated at no distant day. There area very large number of people in this community who take it lor granted that any sort of an entertainment given in aohurob, must necessarily be a cheap affair, and in this case no doubt the fifty oents admission kept many such people away. The*audience was not so large as was expected. The entertainment was well worth fifty cents, but we suggest an early repetition at twenty-five cents, and we will stake our reputation as a prophet that the house will be filled.

WILLIAM MCKEEN died at his residence on north Ninth street, Tuesday morning, of inflammation of the brain. Mr. McKeen was nearly forty-four years of age,and came to this city in 1856 from Clark county, Ills., where he was born. He engaged in the grain business for eight years with J. H. Turner and Samuel McKeen. In 18(35 he removed to Mattoon, Ills., returning here last September, and ac the time of his death was engaged in fitting up the old Tuttle mill, on Otter oreek. He was quiet and reserved in his manner, and was known by all who had business relations with him as a man of the highest integrity. His wife, a sister of J. P. Tutt, survives him, with two sons.

THE LOAN EXHIBITION. Seldom have we felt the circumscribed limits of our columns to so great an extent as in the desire to speak of the loan exhibition, now in progress at Dowling Hall, as it deserves. We must refer the interested reader to the daily papers, which from day to day have had column after column, and yet all has not been told. The catalogue, of twenty-four closely printed pages, contains over nine hundred numbers and some of these numbers represent collections of dozens of articles. A description of even the most interesting articles is simply impossible in one paper.

The exhibition, inaugurated by the Young Ladies' Guild of St. Stephens Church, has added another testimonial to the fact that no city of like size in the West excels Terre Haute in intelligence and refinement, in aesthetic culture, the love of the beautiful in art and nature.

Almost every visitor in the hall, as they have feasted their eyes on the hoarded treasures of their wealthy and cultivated neighbors, have expressed surprise that so many interesting ar tides existed in this city. And yet many have exclaimed: ''Why, if I'd only thought—" and then they tell of some old relic they could have contributed. There is hardly a doubt but another and equally interesting exhibition could be made of things not seen here.

The result of this commendable move ment will be to develope and largely increase a love for true art, to refine and elevate the public taste, and cause a de sire to gather and preserve that which is curious and rare.

The exhibition will continue this afternoon and evening, and positively close Monday night. This evening vocal and instrumental music will be introduced. All who have not seen this wonderful collection should embrace these last opportunities.

RECEPTION CHANGED. The wedding reception given by Mr. Anton Mayer will take place at Dowling Hall instead of at Turner Hall, as at first intended, on Tuesday evening, April 29th. All invited guests will gov em themselves accordingly.

MRS. E. B. COLE,

At 515 Main street, is having a nice trade in Millinery goods, for the reason that she has a well selected line of goods, trims with great taste, and sells at reasonable prices.

IF you want ice at reasonable prices, patronize the Prairie City Ioe Company.

-A handsome Brown Silk Suit having not yet been taken from the shop, will be sold very reasonable by permission of the owner. The suit ran be seen in the show window of the Buckeye Gash Store, corner Main and Sixth streets, on Saturday and Sunday, and at 108 north Sixth street, first door north of new Baptist church, Monday and Tuesday, the 28th and 29th.

Indiana Samgerfest.

THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY Of the Indiana Saengerbund will be celebrated iu this city on the 9th, 10th and 31th of June next.

The objects to be attained by these musical festivals are well known to every intelligent citizen and need no explanation.

The musical societies of this city composed of the Meennerchor, the Cecilia Gesangverein, and Oratorio society have been laboring for months past to make this festival a historical event for Terre Haute.

Miss Fannie Kellogg, the renowned

Ser

rima donna, has beeu engaged to ran all the soprano solos at the two grand concerts.

Prof. Breinia's Ringgold band, augmented to a full orchestra by a number of musiaians from other citiee, will also assist and the musical organizations of Evansville, Tell City, Mount Vernon, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Indianapolis and Lafayette, representing three hundred members, will join in the celebration and participate in all the concerts.

Preparations should be made to decorate the city in the finest style, that our lovely Prairie City may appear more beautiful in the eyes of the thousands of strangers who will be oar guests, and that their visit here may be long remembered with pleasure.

Therefore, we would ask the assistance of all our citizens in this undertaking, asd we hope that every one will do his utmost to aid in making this the grandest success ever achieved in thiscity.

By authority of the central committee of the Indiana Stengerfest, April 25th, 1879.

A CARD.

The organ of St. Stephen's church, from one cause or another, had become very much out of repair or tune. The task of repairing and re-tuning was committed to Mr. Albert J. Kissner. He was compelled to take the instrument completely to pieces, in order to examine and return each separate pipe,* of which there are eleven different sets, and place them all in harmony with each other. All this has been most successfully accomplished, and we are

fleasod

to have this opportunity of bear-

ng testimony to the skill and ability with which it was done by Mr. Kissner. S. F. DUNHAM, Rector St. Stephens.

WHILE WJEW PROCLAIM

And do substantiate every day to the satisfaction of the purchasing community that we sell the same goods for less money than our competitors who promise so much. We say promises don't pay, unless you get them. We want the people of Terre Haute to be benefitted if there is anything in it.

While the manufacturers cannot sell to the trade in competition with other mannfacturers, they must, of course, take some other channel. To sustain themselves, they say they employ 1,0X men and women in their factory. We represent in our ready-made clothing eight different manufactories. Either of them is equally as large as theirs. In them are eight times as many hands as they employ.

We patronize no jobbers, nor second-rate manufacturers outside of New York, like Utica, Syracuse, Roschester, Lock port or Maxville. That is simply tho reason we make it so hot for them in prices.

We sell (roods, retail, for less money than some of those so-called manufacturers make them up for. That's what hurts our neighbors they won't hardly let a customer look around and compare prices for fear of being left.

They claim to make two profits. Consent. The people have already found it out when they compared their prices with ours. We have every day proofe of the facts.

Why don't you come down with the sugar, and show the people

Abetter Middlesex flaunel suit for #12.00, Abetter yacht cloth suit for $14.00. Abetter all wool cheviot suit for $10.00. Abetter line wool cheviot suit tor $12.50, Abetter working suit for |5.00. A better working pants for $1.00. Abetter pair overalls for 50c. Hade outside oi Terre Unite: Abetter while shirt for $1.00. A better white shirt unlaundried for 75c. Abetter linen collar for lOc, Abetter silk handkerchief for 50c«

Keep up courage, gentlemen. Don't take down your old banner saving 20 to 40 yer cent to the purchaser (or middle man's profit). Write down east again and see if your folks can't figure down a little in prices these sre only staples. We have one hundred new styles of boys' youths' and children's new suits, equally as good for the money.
