Paper for the People,

Personal.

Mr. Davis, the fatter of tbe Davis family of singers, is on tbe sick list. Mrs. B. W. Koopman has been spending a few days with friends iu Casey, Ills., this week.

Joe Reagan has taken the place of tbe late Jack Robertson, as merchant po-

licemau on Main street.

City Marshal Kidd bas entered upon tbe duties of bis office. Albert M. Buckingham, tbe retiring marshal, bas been an able and efficient officer, always prompt when duty called.

John Zimmerman, who came to this city in 1833, started this week for New York, and sails to-day for bis old bome, Spetzerfebn, North Germany. He bas visited the fatherland but once before— twenty-four years ago.

H. S. and W. B. Jones, well known in this city as practical boiler-makers, and first-clans workmen, have established a boiler factory at the enterprising and growing mining town of Streator, Illinois, and are already doing a thriving business.

Councilman Mohan has been appointed deputy city marshal. He did not accept until tbe council got over its trouble in electing the subordinate city officers. This appointment will necessitate a epecial election in the Sixth ward for councilman.

Express: Joe Thompson, who bas been for eleven years a puddler at the nail works, has bought a tine farm fourteen miles east of the city on the Bloomlngton road, and will remove to it this week. Joe bas tbe congratulations of all tbe boys at tbe works.

Terre Haute hasn't had a Mayor for several years who has darod to quote Latin. Ben Havens did it in his very neat and well worded inaugural, and was onsideratoeuough to explain its mean, ing to tbe mob of office seekers assembled in tbe council chamber.

Charley Jeffers bad the biggest birthday party of the season, last Saturday evening, when over one hundred children gathered in bis father's beautiful grounds on south Seventh street, and from live to nine o'clock, with feasting and play, had tbe happiest time possible.

J. B. Lyne's wife has cause to complain of his being "at the lodge"—that is, if be attends all their meetings. He belongs to nine different orders—mostly insurance, on which he carries $13,000 insurance on bis life, at about half the cost of insurance in the insurance companies.

Many friends in this city, who learned to love a good christian woman, have been pained to hear of tbe death of the wife of Rev. N. L. Brakeman, formerly pastor of Ceutenary-church. Her death occurred at Valparaiso, two weeks ago to-day, of typhoid fever and disease of the heart.

Elder Black, formerly of our Christian oburch, is again on the boom. He continues to lecture to big audiences in the smaller towns of Illinois on "the science of living," which the Indianapolis Herald says the Elder ought to know, as he has had trouble enough to kill an ordinary man.

Amaaa Jones and Miss Ella Arbucklo, only daughter of Gaorge Arbuckle, of this city, were married at Paris, Ills., Monday morning. The wedding ceremony was witnessed only by the relatives and immediate friends. After breakfast, tbe pair started for Pittsburg, where Mr. Jones is engaged largely in tbe iron business.

Albert F. Froeb and his mother, started Monday night for Nuremberg, Saxony. Mr. Froeb is a member of the Occidental Literary Clute, and on the night of departure tbe club visited him with the Ringgold Band. After a serenade, Eugene V. Debbs made a farewell address in behalf of bis assoates. Mr. Froeb will attend school there a year or two, and hopes with tbe ohauge of climate to benefit bis health.

C. E. Vandervor has been some kind of a police offi jer in this city for ten years, and without disparagement to others, we do not hesitate to say that no man engaged in police service bas done more efficient work. Whenever there bas been a delicate or a dangerous job to do, Ed has almost Invariably been in tbe front, and it is unfortunate that the election changes mnke it necessary that he should step out of the deputy city marshalship. It will seem odd, for a while, not to see Ed's name in tbe papers in connection with important arrests.

If the beet employment of a woman is to make home happy, the beat work of a man is to make her bappy, and in what better way can be make her bappy than by telling her to go to Foster A Son's, on north Fourth streetj and get some of tbe elegant furniture they are selling at prloes never before heard of in the Wabash valley. They have just got in a coo pie of as pretty chamber seta as any one coold desire, and lots of other new designs in all kinds of household furniture.

J. A. Marshall's ventnrt Into tbe turfc trade—at first little aide issue to bis sewing machine business, has grown to very considerable proportions ainoe be moved iinto his present elegant and commodious quarters, on Main, near Fourth street. He has now in store large stock of good pianos and organs, all the soiaJJLer niosiealinstruments, the latest and meet popular sheet music, and musical merchandise generally. He alias to please in goods and price*.

F, Dunham reading the ceremony, which was witnessed only by the family relatives. The wedded pair took tbe night train for St. Louis, which will be their home. It is a notable incident that two sisters in this family married florists. One is the wife of John G. Heinl.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lynch were married twenty years ago last Thursday evening. And this was tbe excuse for a large party of their friends gathering at the residence of John K. Durkin on that evening, and, without warning, .sailing in upon them. The visitors carried provisions for a banquet and many presents, the principal one being a set of gold band, rose leaf china of one hundred and twenty-three pieces.

The sixth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. C. R. Henderson and his settlement as pastor of the Baptist church was happily Cleveland at their residence Thursday evening. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Levering, of Lafayette. A pleasant surprise was the presentation to Mr. H. of a life size portrait of himself which some friends had a celebrated artist enlarge from a card photograph. Mr. Henderson's popularity with our people was shown in the fact that the gathering was not confined to his own church.

Straws show which way tbe wind blows," and the elegant and varied display of straw bats shown in tbe window of S. Loeb tfc Co, corner of Main and Fifth streets, show that this enterprising firm are up with the limes in bringing out tbe latest and nobbiest styles of summer bats. They have other hats and caps of all descriptions, and a full line of gents furnishing goods and summer underwear. Tbe low prices and courteous treatment of customers characteristic of this house have built up a large and prosperous trade.

Every day that a person goes Into Button A Co's Central Bookstore there seems to be something new. Besides being headquarters for all that is new and nobby in fancy stationery, they have a very attractive line of fancy glass paper weights, pretty inkstands, pocketbooks, a very extensive variety in all shapes and sizes desired. Then there are now pictures, photographs, pretty frames, and other beautiful things coming along all the time.

To prove this rend their rdvertisemeut or send for their new catalogue. Every man in Terra Haute should be gratifiad over what we intend to divulge in this item. Ic is that J. P. Brennan, the popular merchant tailor on east Main street, received this week another nice line of piece goods—(he gets them almost daily)—and is making them up in perfect fitting suits at his usual low i, rices.

Harness makers throughout tbe country should bear in mind that the only Collar manufactory here is conducted by Peter Miller on south Fourth street. Just now be particularly desires to call your attention to the Heavy Scotch Hair Faced Collars, for teamsters which he is manufacturing and selling in great numbers. It is better to buy of a well known manufacturer here at home, than to buy the eastern made collars, often of inferior quality,

Our democratic city fathers have been sorely barrassed this week to know how to dispose of the horde of office seekers. The trouble was settled last night. Many called, but few were chosen, but all can call at Wright & King's popular grocery, on the corner ol Main and Seventh streets, which is always in tbe lead with the choicest groceries, the freshest oountiy produce, early vegetables and fruits, canned goods and everything to be found in a first class house.
