A specialty Is made In the cookery, and tbe table is supplied! wit|i an abundance of healthy fartnaoeoua food, fruits, pore milk and wholesome breed. An advertisement In another column gives particular) and tbe low rates of board.
A GLOOM of sorrow was spread over bis large circle of young friends by tbe death on Wedneeday evening of Cbarlee P. Oobin. His fatal illness was caused by attendance on a sick brother. He was a young man esteemed by all, and a general favorite. The Knights of Py thias, of which order be was a .member, attended bis funeral.
THK camp meeting at tbe fair grounds this week has been attracting cousiderable numbers of people—especially at night. The crowds have not been oomposed entirely of seekers of religion, and tbe Devil has bad ample opportunity to get in some of his work. The meetings cloee to-morrow and will probably be tbe largest and most interesting of tbe week.
A FOOT race was the exciting sport which attracted a large crowd from tbe city to the fair grounds Wednesday afternoon. Louis Gumberts, the Evansviile champion, and Owen Mnllen, an employe of our nail works, were tbe contestants. One hundred dollars was the stake, one hundred yards the distance, and the Terre Haute man came in six feet ahead.
A CHARGE waa made this week by which tbe letter carriers traverse the entire city after 4:30 each evening instead of two o'clock, as heretofore. Tbe delivery tripe are now made as follows: 1st—At 7 a. m., to all parte of the city. 2nd—At 11:30 a. m., to buelness parts. 3d—At 2 p. m., a limited delivery by auxtlllary carriers. 4th—At 4:30 p. m., a delivery over the entire city. This delivery includes the Eastern mail.
FRANK LACHMAN, a cigar maker, who came here recently from Brooklyn, was run over by the wheels «f a freight car, near the Yandalia round house Monday morning. He was intoxicated and sitting on the track under the car. A switch engine was attached and pulled it up. His legs were crushed so as to render necessary tbe amputation of both. He died at three o'clock in the afternoon, and was buried by the Clgsr Makers' Union.
JAMES EDWARD STEVENS died at his residence on Lafayette street Wednesday evening, of quick oensumption. He bad been confined to the boose for only a week, and Wedneeday evening at five o'clock was sitting at a window talking to his son. He suddenly walked to his bed and fell upon it dead. Poor Ed! We first knew him as a young man of promise, but politlus, whloh with him amounted to a mania, wrecked what might otherwise have been a useful life. Tbe Grand Army or the Republic laid bis body—seemingly for years so tiied and worn out—in Wood lawn cemetery, Thursday afternoon.
We again direct attention of Northern excursionists to the advertisement of tbe Spring Lake House at Spring Lake, Michigan, two miles north of Grand Haven. This charming summer resort, which is located at the famous Spring Lake magnetlo mineral spring, is easy of aocess, either by rail or water. It has the attractions of pure air, fine scenery, fishing, rowing, sailing, steamboatlng, hunting, etc. An addition of firty rooms has been added for this season, and superior advantages are afforded those who are looking for health, comfort and pleasure. The prices are reasonable. Address for particulars, John McVicar, the manager, and one of the most popular botfl ,men In the Northwest.
THB weather throughout tbe country the past week has been unusually warm. Here in Terre Haute the mercury fer several days was up in the nineties, and there has been a degree of oppressiveness to the atmosphere more common to the "dog days" period than this. There is reason to expect an uncommonly hot summer, with all that that implies in the matter of personal dlaoomfbrt and ailments of the season, snd it is necessary that the utmost care of health should be exercised that "clean np!" should be the watchword, and that the obildren should be especially looked after. However, it is a notable fact that advice to those people who most need it is rarely heeded. Ignorant and careless mothers will still be found testing tbe physical powers of their children, by defying every law of nature^ and people of all sorts will deluge themselves with Ice water, burden their stomachs with unwholesome food, plttnge into the cold bath wbile tbe body Is covered with perspiration, and do all kll£3e of hurtful things, for which there fei no excuse bnt their recklessness. There i|B no time of tbe year when greater care most be taken to preserve health tbaaat tbe appearance of the first hot days, when the system undergoes a-process of extreme change. All ef tboee oomttOona which wre at any time essential to health, as cleanliness, freedom from excessive indulgence in stimulants, tbe eating of good fresh food, sleeping in wall ventilated apartments, and the avoidance of extreme excitement, are especially necessary now, and those who disregard tbem must pay the penalty in Impaired health, if tbey do not fihd premature gravea. We have in refkntfhg to this matter no wieh to appear io the character of an instructor, hot merely to sound a note of warning.
IT is earnestly reqossted that all who are interested In the public library will be preeent at the Library Festival next Tuesday evening, and contribute to this very worthy enterprise.

A FATAL FORTY WINKS. Tbe Vandalla has been having a streak of bad look of late In tbe way of accidents. Tbe last occurred on Thuisdsy morning st 3:24 o'clock. Tbe east bound passenger train, behind time, was bowling along at tbe rate of forty miles an hour, with that trusty engineer, Nick Dodson, at tbe front. Approaching Belleville, nineteen mllee tbisside'of Indianapolis, a switch was discovered open. Tbe air brakes were applied, but too late—the engine and entire train, except one car, went off. Mr. Dodson heroically clung to bis engine, doing all in bis power to check the momentum. By this act be doubtless saved many lives. A tramp, stealing a ride on tfce front platform of the postal car was crushed so that It ia thought he cannot live. Engineer Dodson was tbe only other person seriously hurt. His right leg was broken below the knee, the ankle dislocated, and bis neck badly cut with broken glass. Drs. Link and Gentmeyer attended him, and hope to save tbe limb from amputation—though this is not certain.
Tbe accident was caused in this way: A freight train, east bound, bad gone into a switch at Belleville to allow the west freight to pass. Wm. Mansfield, a trusty brakeman, had set tbe switch for the westward train to pass. It did so. He then set it for his own train to pull out. Itssems, though, that this train was behind time, and had lost the right to the road. It bad to wait for the eastern express. Mansfield, sitting down at tbe side of the track, unconsciously fell asleep. The result of his "forty winks" was the fatal accident above stated.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING Tbe many delightful resorts along the coast and in the vicinity of Lake Michigan are taking our people in great numbers northward. The recent reductions of fare on the Danville road and the low rates of transportation on the Goodrich line of steamers make a trip to the north one of.less expense tban in any another direction. Short rides out from Chicago take tbe seeker for health and pleasure to many delightful resorts, and the supberb Goodrich sidewheel steam* ers reaoh every principal port on Lake Miohigan. Tbe Goodrich line has recently inaugurated a new feature, which will be popular with our people. This Is a round trip exoursion from Chicago to Milwaukee, aoross to Grand Haven and back to Chicago, all for 97.50, including dinner and supper on the route from Chicsgo to Milwaukee and stateroom and berth the entire route. A brass and string band accompanies tbe boat to Milwaukee, this portion of the trip being in daytime. Stops can be made at Milwaukee and Grand Haven as long as desired. For convenience, pleasure, oomfort and sight-seeing we do not know of a more desirable short trip, or one at less expense than from this city over the route named with stops at Cbioago, Milwaukee and Grand Haven. From Milwaukeee short trips can be made to several noted watering places.
I SYLVAN SOCIAL. A Union Sabbath School Convention will be held at Rose Hill M. E. Church, in Otter Creek township, Thursday, July 22d.

THE REASON WHY
W. H. Greiner sells Boots and Shoes so low is that he buys carefully, has small expense, and is oontent with small profits, preferring quick sales and light profits to slow sales and big profits.
