THElIt SUPERIORITY OVER SPRINGS.

Cherry ttreets. For some cause or other it did not prove a popular resort, was soon closed and the well plugged. The finding of oil in this locality stirred up a feeling J? of speculation in our midftt. Men dreamed of immense fortunes to be made upon a small outlay and soon a company

was organized to bore for oil. The ground selected for this venture was the lot upon the bauk of the river at the foot of Walnut street. The work was commenced in the year 1808 aud was prosecuted vigorously. Three hundred feet beneath the surface the solid rock was struck and after that the boring was necessarily slow. At the depth of nine hundred and fiftyeight feet, while going through dark gray imestone and flint, a vein of sulphur water was struck, ana at a depth of fifteen undred and seventy-five feet they struck strong salt water. The search for oil was continued and at a depth of sixteen hundred I ami sixty feet, while going through red shale, the coveted article made its appearance but not in auflicient quantity to pay, so the boring was continued. At eighteen hundred feet sulphur water again made its appearance, also at eightteen hundred ana sixty feet, and at the depth of nineteen hundred and thirty feet \the work had to be stopped on account the Sow. The bore is four inches and

from the day work ceased up to the pres' ent time, the flow has been constant antf

undiminished. The owners of the well expended $20,000 upon tho work, and ^considered their money lost, a* at that time the water was considered worthless, and tho well and an entire square ol und were sold for the trifling sum of 00.

QUALITIES.

BOON TO HUMANITY, OP WHICH TUK CITY SHOULD BE PROUD.

OTHER

In the year 1866 or 1867 the]ale Chaon cj Roie, of this city, conceived the idea of furnishing artesian water for the nse o' «*our citizens for drinking and bathing pur poses. The place selected for the location of the well was the vacant lot immediately north of the Tefre Haute House. He procured the necessary machinery and commenced the work of boring immediate ly. Day after day and week after week the tedious work wan prosccuted. Rock of many different kinda was bored through but the water failed to make it* appear ance and people began to wonder what the end would be. When the depth off sxte*n hundred and twenty-five feet nad been reached the people were astoniehsd with the intelligence teat a vein of oil had been Btruck. Crowds visited the spot to assure themselves that such was the case, and thtre. sure enough, WM a rich lubri eating thud flowing from the ground, large tank was constructed into which its course was directed, but Mr. Rose wanted water—not oil,—so the supply was closed off without teating its yielding capacity and the boring was continued. The labor was rewarded 1 by a flow of Arteciau water at a depth of seventeen hundred and ninety-three feet. The well was tubed, with seed bags above and below the oil vein, and a bath house was con atruoted on the corner of Eighth and

A DISCOVERY, v, «,

Superstitious residents in the neighborhood started the story that the well ,hauoted that each night, "at the hour dhat grave yards yawn,'ra couple of sptctree were to be seen hovering around its mouth for a time and then suddenly disappear ing. Investigation proved that the nocturnal visitors were human. They were in fact an old colored man aud his wife, the latter of whom was Mlnless from rheumatism and who was nightly carried down to the water by her uu«baud in order that she might derive tb* benefit of its healing properties, which at that time were known to none ut himself. In a short time she recoventirely and the water began to attract considerable attention. The welt va« purchased by the ltte Ira Delano, who arreted a temporary bath house, but rkich had not sufficient attractions or .ccommodatioM to secure a liberal pat•ooage.

RR*SK?RR HAWAOBMKHT.

In the yvar 1879 it was purchased by be present management who immediately about makioK such improvements as .on Id make it an attract ire place for the dieted both al home and from abroad. The ell was at once furnished with new tubto a depth of 800 feel, through which water flows at the rate ol 20,000 galper hour into two immense tanks, •a of which is furnished with a *er attachment capable of beat* it to any degree of wreath. From these tanks It conveyed into the bath house which has rtly been finished and which is oosaia all its part*. The building has a jotage of 150 feet and can easily accom!ate 1,000 bathers daily. Each bath -has a dressing room attached the variation arrangements ate such that rooms can be made as open or as ckm desired, and the rooms can be made as as a fireplaoe without the slightest -reeable sensations. One wing of the ilcLog is set aside as the ladies' depsjrt5t, which is under the control of an exfenced woman who has two female nerts to assist her. The other wing is

siiif

the men's department, at present in charge of Mr. J. J. Dailey, a gentleman who is obliging in his manner and ever ready to render all the assistance in his power to the patrons of the establishment. Every convenience to be found in places of this kind is furnished here for the acoommo dation of invalids. The ladies' parlor halls and dressing rooms are carpetec! with Brussels carpet, and are elegantly furnished. Everything is new, clean and inviting. Polite and attentive servants are always in waiting.

THE BATHS.

The tubs are of an extraordinary size and the water flowing in abroad stream from above form the Douche baths, which can be used at the pleasure of the bather. The natural temperature of the water is 85 deg. Fahrenheit, a temperature which is pleasant at all seasons.

Hot baths can be furnished at any desirable temperature. Each room is fur nished with hot and cold water pipes which makes it an easy matter to regulate the degree of heat required.

The arrangements for vapor baths are such as to make them superior to those of the Arkansas Hot Springs about which so much has been said. In these baths the patient is not subjected to the enervating effects of some baths, snd they ex eel all known remedies for rheamat'sm neuralgia and syphilis.

The waters possess magnetic qualities which make them very valuable the cure of many diseases. Com' pared with the waters of the Hot springs they are superior in every respect in mineral qualities. Those of the latter contain no magnetic qualities and many have been cured by the former who haye in vain sought relief at the Hot Springs, Thst the water there does not effect cures iB now conceded. With the aid of their hot water they are enabled to administer medicinoa in much larger quantities, if that is any benefit, and that is the whole eecret of their success. This proposition is sustained bv Dr. Keller, one of tne ablest ihysicians in the place, who wrote a» fol ows to the St. Louis Medical and Sur gical Journal a ahort time ago: "If asked does the water itself cure syphilis, I an swer positively, no. If asked how it acts to effect more rapid and certain cures, the answer is simply that by its powerful eliminative and diaphoretic power, the patient is enabled to take, if necessary, tenfold more mercury and potssh than he could possibly take without its aid." Better results can be obtained here,

The vapor baths retain all the mineral qualities of the water, and hav ing a greater amdtint of mineral proper ties of a superior kind are necessarily net ter than Hot Springs.

The medical profession of Terre Haute is equal to that of any other city, and their services can be procured at reasons ble figures.

MINKRAII PROPERTIES.

The water is perfectly clear and not un pleasant to the taste of those who use it It is strongly impregnated with Chloride of Calcium, Chloride of Potassium, Sulfate of Lime, Bi-carbonate of Lime, iilicic Acid, Alumina, Soda, Iodine, Bro mine, Chloride of Sodium, Sulphate of Calcium, Phosphate of Lime, Magnesia Sulphuretted Hydrogen, Carbonic Acid Gases and Iron. It is also highly mag' netic. It is a sure cure for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Syphilis, Paralysis, Gout, Scrofula, Dyspepsia, Catarrh. Hay Fever, Loss of Vitality, General Debility, Impotency, Female Weakness, Suppressed or painful Menstruation, Nervous Affections, Sleeplessness and all diseases of the blooa and skin. It removes from the system sll poisons produced by slcobol or tobacco and destroys the taste for both. It is a specific for svphilis and will cure this disease without tbe aid of medicine, which cannot be done by any other water in the world. It removes corn*, tan, warts, sallowness, freckles, pimples, blotches and other impurities of the skin.

Persons afflicted with heart or lung disease, or those who are recovering from lung fever will derive no benefit from its use

Terre Haute can justly boast of her inblic institutions, her railroads, manuictories and institutions of learning, but we believe there is no one branch of her industries that will in the near future contribute more largely to her growth and prominence than this boon to afflicted humanity. Of all the mineral waters from the many noted springs, there are none that have all the qualities which make them so invaluable in the various kinds of chronic disease as these.

Tbe company have received a great number of testimonials from those who have been benefited also from the medical fraternity, ol which the following is a sample: Magnetic Artaiam Bath Ompamt

LOCATION.

For the benefit of persons residing abroad who are desirous of visiting some such resort we would say that they can cot select a more beautiful location. The springs are situated on the east bank of the Wabash, within fifty feet of the water. Of the beautiful location of the city of Terre Haute it is needless to say much. With its population of 27,000 it sits npoi the pietureeque Fort Harrison prairie, surrounded by beautiful drives apt. woods. Its streets are lined with magnifi cent shsde trees which protect its citiiens from the heat of the summer run and which has earned for it the name of "Forest City." Railroads center in it from all directions, making it of easy access. The trouble and expense of resching it are nothing compared with a visit to the hot springs and other places. Living here is much less expensive. There are numerous first clsss hotels and boarding houses convenient to the springs where board and lodging can be had at. reasonable rates, Here visitors are not bled to desth by hotel keepers, quack doctors, thieves snd leeches. The city is quiet and well governed. People of the South will find it a pleasant place to pass the summer months durins the prevalence of the yel low fever in that region. It is more cen trslly located than any of the numerous springs in the country which are claiming public attention at tne present time.

The Magnetic Artesian Bsth Company are determined to do all in their power to make these springs a success. They have already expended a great deal of money to make them a benefit to the public, and intend to carry on the work until they are surpassed by none in the country as a place of public resort. They are deserving of succesa and we hope that their expectations will be realized at no distant day.

THE CELEBRATION.

It is somewhat late now to speak of tbe observanoe of Independence Day, which, falling on Sunday was celebrated on tbefitb. But as so many of The Mail's readers see no other paper, it is necessary that we should put on reoord that it was a surprising suocees.

A more delightful day oould not haye been desired, and from the country and neighboring towns thousands of people joined onra in tbe day's festivities. Tbe crowd at tbe Fair Grounds was the largest we have ever seen there.

No special efforts were made at the morning parade, and yet it was made respectable by our home military, tbe two brass bands and drum corps, the chariots, fire depsrtment, decorated wagons, etc., led through tbe streets by Marshal Gist and aids.

At the Fair Grounds, in tbe afternoon, L. A. Burnett presided, Rev. S. F. Dun ham officiated as chaplain, tbe Ringgold and Cadet bands played, and brief addresses were made by Dick T. Morgan Mr. Eggleston and Col. Thompson.

The big feature, though, was tbe obarlot races—two chariots, each drawn by four horses abreast and driven at a full run around the half mile track.

In tbe evening the MoKeen Cadets gave an interesting exhibition drill at the Normal School grounds, and while the Ringgold Band gave a ooncert at Court Park, the Cadet Band occupied tbe pagoda west of tbe Terre Haute House.

The senseless and extravagant Wftfitd of money in oostly fireworks was dis pensed with, and altogether the day was observed in a quiet, orderly and rational manner.

Terre Haute has earned a good repu tation in conducting Fourth of July celebrations, and It only needs proper and united effort in succeeding years to draw similar crowds to this city on each anniversary of the day we oelebrate.

Bxu RODIFKR, tho notorious desperado, was pardoned thia week, and ia now al liberty, pardon waa brought about by his friends in Indianapolis. The announcement causes no litttle surprise and indignation in this city wham his exploits are best known. He committed a aeriea of bold robberies, ending with an assaalt one night on Jerry Pickard, a young and inoffensive man, loved by everybody, who with his young wife waa returning home. With a piatol in his face and a demand for money, Pickard pat his hand in his pocket for his pocket book, when the rillain fired, the ball taking effect in the neck. The wound was not im nediately fatal, and hence Rodifer escaped with a aentenoe of ten years in the penitentiary, which waa pronounced on the 12th day of November, 1874, Pickard died, a little over a year after the wound was inflicted, and from the effdcts-of the same. His wife, worn out with caring for him died two montha afterward. For these two murders a soft hearted Governor sets the murderer free after an imprisonment of less than aiz years. Rodifer Is said to be a reformed man. We hope he is. But all the ssme it is to be desired that he ahall not revisit this communlty*

THK McKeen Cadets came back from Evansville Saturday night without the first prise. This was not expected. But they took the second of |200,and what is better just covered themselves all over with glory. They were the favorites with the crowd, and would have taken the first priza had it been left to the audience. So enthusiastic and frequent was theapplause thatitwas at times with difficulty tbe oommands oould be given. Much of the effect of their superb drilling and clock-like movements is lost for the lack of a dress uniform, and we are glad to see a movement to fit out the boys in this respect. The movement was started by Mayor Havens with a subscription of #50, and a committee ia now canvassing the city for subscriptions. It is proposed to make honorary members at five dollars a year. One who subscribes f25 has a membership for five yeaia. About two thousand dollars will be required, and there certainly should be no trouble at this time in raising tbe amount.

AMONG tbe many reoent acoidents, with loss of life on water, is one that cornea home to us. Frsnk Gibson, his wife and two children were drowsed in White Bear Lake, near St. Paul, Minnesota, last Monday. The accident was caused by the oapslzing of a yacht, caught in a sudden squall. T^o other women and a child were also drowned. Mr. Gibson and his family were until recently residents of this city. He was a member of the drum corps and of Harrison Lodge A. O. U. W., in which he held a membership at the time of his death. The bodiea were recovered the next day. J. A. Gibson, the father of the drowned man, resides at No. 1,103 North Eighth street. In company with his son-in-law, Bryce Taylor, he went to St. Paul immediately on receipt of the sad news, and returned this morning with the dead family. The funeral services will be held to-morrow morning at ten o'olock at the father's residence.

IT was on Tuesday evening, at six o'clock. They uiet my chance, in front of Dickhout's trunk factory. Councilman Harrison wanted to kuow why he was continually attaoked in the News. Editor Beauohamp said he owed the public a duly, and was paying the debt on the installment plan, or words to that effect. Harrison struok out from tbe shoulder—the editor caught it on the eye, and batted back with his cane, using the councilman's head for a ball. Both fell in tbe gutter under Dickhout's horse. The horse carefully backed over them and out of tbe way, in order to get abetter view of tbe scene, when friends interfered. Our artist on the spot was directed to give os a map of tbe battlefield, but he reports that it covered too much ground. A street fight is not diguifled or creditable to a councilman or an editor. A man never looks half so pretty after the encounter as before the meeting was organized.

WM. W. WAT, clerk in the Yandalia freight office, found something last night that be doean't want—aa he already has "four of a kind." He resides at 609 sonth Sixth street. At eleven o'clock last night he beard a baby crying in bis front door yard. Going out be found lying in tbe grass a nice, bright boy baby, abont six weeks old. It waa nicely wrapped up, and upon its breast was a bottle of soothing syrup and a teaapoon. It was taken care of for the nigbt, and this morning pnt in charge of Trustee Flnkbiner, who will endeavor to find it a home. In the meantime it has been sent oat to tbe poor farm.

WK came near getting through tbe celebration of the Fourth without aocident or serious disturbance, bnt at six o'clock, aa the people were leaving tbe fairground, George Long and Matthew Moran, young men who live six milea southeast of thia city, got into a fight* Moran drew a knife and went to carving Long in the moat reckleas manner. He made ooe gaah in tbe neek, one in tha faoa, another in tbe arm from ahonlder to elbow, and a fourth in the thigh. Moran waa p« tin jail, and Long brought to town. Dm. Rotate and Gerataoeyar aewad him np, and he will recover.
