THE CARNIVAL.

The letter of Susan Perkins occupies all the space our crowded columns will admit for mention of the Author's Carnival which has been in progress this week at Bowling Hall. Susan seems to have aimed to speak of all who took prominent part, and yet we find several have been omitted. This is not to be wondered at when the daily papers have been giving one or more columns each for five days, and yet they are uot done. It has been a brilliant success, and the ladies of the Congregational oharoh have covered themselves all over with glory. It was a big undertaking, but after a doal of hard work they will have the satisfaction of resting on honors well earned. The Carnival will close to-night, and it is the intention to make this the most brilliant of the week.

J, A. MODKSITT DEAD. Just as we go to press the sad news reaches us of the death of our old and respected townsman James A. Modeaitt. His death occurred at 7 o'clock last night, at Ooverland. Further mention mnst be deferred until next week.

—At Terre Haute Saturday, May 1st, is most positively and unalterably the day of the greatest ol all shows.

G. A. POWER.

"At the solicitation of his soldier friends this well known citixen has oonsented to enter the race for Connty clerk. Mr. Power is a Kentuckian by birth, is fortyone years old, and came to this State in 1856. His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln, in I860, and he has ever since been one of the staunchest Republicans, ever ready to help the party in any way. He entered the army in the trying days of '61, serving in General Craft's 31st Regiment. If given the nomination, and elected, be will make a record as clerk that his supporters will not be ashamed of.

THE

marriage of George "Al" Schaal

and Miss Mollie Sibley was grandly celebrated, Wednesday evening, at the residence of the bride's father, W. W. Sibley. The house wonld not hold all the invited guests, and the yard was illnminated with Chinese lanterns. The Governor's Guard, of which Mr. Schaal is captain, attended in a body, led by the Cadet Band. Rev. C. R. Henderson performed the ceremony, after which supper was served. The presents were many and valuable. At eleven o'clock the bridal pair, with their most Intimate friends, went to Mr. 8chaal's residence on North Sixth street, where other refreshments were served and the festivities extended to the small hours of the morning.

MERRILL N. SMITH.

Among all the young men in this city we know of no better business man, one of better habits, more popular with his associates, in the social as well as basiness community, or one whose future seems brighter, than Merrill N. Smith— familiarly known as "Med" Smith— whose name is announced in this issue as a candidate for County Clerk. He came to this city in 1852—a very early period in his life. At the age of fourteen he enlisted in the 133d Indiana Volunteers, remaining in the army until the close of the war. He is now the Captain of our Light Guards. For ten yeare he has had continuous service in the grocery bouse of Hulman fc Cox, now H. Hulman, the past six years holding the responsible position of bead bookkeeper —the accounts of a hense doing yearly a million and a half dollars worth of business being faithfully and accurately kept. This service has also made him familiar with the court proceedings. Besides, he is a remarkably fine penman, and if elected it is bis purpose to go into the Clerk'B office and in person attend to the duties, for which be is peculiarly fitted. He will not be under the necessity of hiring some one te run the office for him. The Republicans oould not select a better, more popular or more deserving candidate for this responsible office. DEDICATION OF THE BAPTIST

OHVRCH.

The new edifice of the First Baptist church will be dedicated on Thursday evening of next week, April 22. The vrftl Xro open at 7 p. m. A special service will be held for children a few days afterwards, and it is desired that the room be oooupied on that evening by adults. Every possible arrangement will be made for the comfort of those who attend. Special music has been prepared for the oocaslon, members of several oity choirs joining in the service. The new organ, an instrument of great sweetness and considerable power, will be heard by the publio for the first time. A general invitation is extended to the pabllo to attend* Rev. G. C. Lorlmer, i). D., of Chicago, will deliver the dedicatory address. He is said to be one of the most polished pulpit orators in America. During his pastorate in Boston he was pastor of Tremont Temple, whioh has one of the largest audience rooms in this country and his audiences filled it. The secular papers of Boston spoke of him in terms of highest praise. We quote one notice from the Chicago Times:

Upon each recurring Sabbath since the Rev, George C. Lorlmer has occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist ohurch the audiences have been very large, unusual interest being manifested in the efforts of this eloquent divine. The sea of faces whioh greeted the pastor on yesterday morning was unprecedented in the history of the church. Every sitting was occupied, both in the main auditorium ana galleries crowds of people were unable to gain admission.

The discourse was one of the

most powerful and interesting delivered since the new pastor has occupied the pulpit. The conclusion, wherein reference is made to the teachings of a mother, was illustrated by a pathetic reference to the boyhood days of the speaker and many of toe audience were moved to tears by its recital. —OLIVE OIL, LEE A PERRIN'S SAUCES, BALDWIN'S TOMATO
