THE candidates and politicians are caking the county canvass quite warm.

THE re-union next week i* going to all hero an immense gathering of peo-

THE saloons didn't get a great deal of tronage from the Locomotive Firemen. ___________

THE skating rink has been taken lown aud will be set up in Earis, for a •hort season.

THE bunlnemi men did a very generous vthing for the.county fair in closing their stores on Thursday afternoon.

A TRAIN will leave corner of Main and First street, at six o'clock this evening for the Republican meeting at Lockport. Forty cents the round trip.

THE saloon men had an indignation meeting this week nd talked of prosecuting for libel one of the temperance speakers for saying that all the saloons on Main street are assignation houses.

THERB will be a camp Are Tuesday /bight at Dowling Hall and Wednesday night at Camp Harrison, when speeches will be mado and singing the old army songs by the soldiers.

THE Vandalia announces a cheap excursion to Cincinnati next Tuesdayleaving here at 7 o'clock—only f4.0O for the round trip, and tickets good to return on any train leaving Cincinnati up /to Sunday ovening.

THE High School Record, showing the neat and tasty typography of Hebb A Goodwin, appeared on Wednesday and will bo published once a month by Edward ItiBley,Douglass Smith and Oeorgo Taylor, who, in this first issue,show unlnistakablo Journalistic talent.

XBNIA X. CONOVER, for several years a compositor on the Uazctteand Lxpress, an intelligent gentleman, held in the highest osteem by his brother printers, sank into death Saturday evening, aftor a long illness from diseased lungs and throat. He was born In Ttowllng.»rocn, Clay county and was nearly thirty years of age.

It- the county fair managers are wine thoy will in tho future socure novel and special 1 oatures to amuse and interest tho people. Tho more the butter. Tho announcement of two ladios riding a running raco did more this year to draw crowd than all tho in tides of the fair propor on exhibition. It is a lamentable fact, but none the less true.

TICK Soldiers re-union next week will b-j at the fair grounds on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. We have not a programmeo of the exercises each day, but are assuied that It will bo one of tho mo«it interesting re-unions over held in thissoction of tho country. The dally papers will give tho details, from day t# day. Our people will tlnd visits to tho camp of interest. Go out, and makotho visiting soldiers feel at home.

THE high trestle at the blastfurnace fell Wednesday morning, with a train of coal ears, and three men miraculously 'oscaiHxldoath, though severely injured.

I

The engine was pushing the cars up the incline, and struck tho bumper at tho north ond, where the elevation is fifteen feet from the ground, with such force lis to cause tho accident. The men jumped as the structure foil. There wore four of them. Wm. Burk. a brakeman,escaped unhurt Lou Hatch, the foreman, had a thumb crushed and forefinger broken, the bone protruding through the tlesh above the knuckle, and a Imdly bruised face: John *itrsimnions, tho engineer, had his left arm broken and was badly shaken up: Charles Itrewer, the fireman, got off with sprained back and some briuses. The engine and cars, ot course, wera badly wrecked.

TiiROasette in its Fair report yester terday said: "The Siuger Mauufaotur, log Co., show some very fine fancy work. D. S. 8. Samis, and Harry Met*^er, of J. A. Marshall's, are in charge. The)' exhibit both the high aud low arm machines, which is an improvement at least to thla writer, and certainly very important. Thoy more than hold their own against competition from Chicago There is no question of the Sibger's merits. It is an old "holder of the fort," and always to be ftmnd where It was ever fomi d." It Is proper to atid that the work done out there on the ground was by'home men, just what any lady is capable of learning.

A STRANGER SEES

A pretty city. Very few loafers. Eloquent orators. Superb water works. Model public schools. The rush of enterprise. Coal at our very doors. Street cars and Herdics. The bummer class small. Activity beyond a doubt. Enterprising newspapers. Good and well kept hotels. An efficient fire department. A scarcity of houses to rent. A good market for everything. A good home for the poor man. Morality above the average city. A polite and genteel police force. Professional men of prominence. Large business houses well tilled. Employer and employe hand in hand. Elegant residences and more going up.

The Polytechnic soon to be inaugurated. The biggest distillery and an immense brewery.

Labor at) good wages, and living reasonable. The foremost commercial college in the west.

The best brass band aud orchestra in the West. Artesian baths for healing and for cleanliness.

Good sidewalks and comparatively clean streets. Big wholesale houses and enterprising retail merchants.

A great portion of mechanics owning their own dwellings. Moro pretty women to the square foot than any city in the land.

An increase of 05 per cent in population in the last ten years. The sites for a much needed court house and a new union depot.

The best system of local charities of anj' city of its size in the Union. Ono of the finest opera houses in the west, and first class amusements.

About two hundred and fifty manufactories of various kinds, and room for more.

A city that has steadily moved torward with out a "back-set" in any year for half a century.

In short, the stranger sees here a big slice of God's best country, peopled with eulightened, hospitable, genorous men and women, happy aud contented—glad that they are alive.

THE prize drills of the re-union next week will be exhibitions of no small importance. Among (the companies coming here are tho Paris Light Infautry, Logansport Grays, Sherman Guards, of Frankfort McCune Cadets, of Rackvllle Decatur Guards, Indianapolis

MRS. HENRIETTA SKRI.TON, the Queen Esther of the Germans, as she is called, will speak in tho German language, on the temperance question of the day, at the German M. E. church, at 4 p. m., Sunday, aud at Court Park at 7:30 p. m. in both German and English. She also speaks this evening at|7:30 in Court Park. Sho is announced by the temperance association as having matters of importance to tell those of her nationality.

THK Torre Haute Commercial College has boon enlargod and improved, under the management of Isbell A Millor, until it is now tho foremost institution of Its class iu the West. Young men in the city .and young men on farms can make no bettor use of their time than in taking a course of instruction at this college this winter. A practical businses education will be of uutold benefit in after lite.

THK Gazette says: Talma Jones, who was arrested for the Macksville murder some years ago, and who has been braking on the Vandalia road lately, robbed Mrs. Sedam of about $300 worth of jewelry a few nights since, making his escape.

THK WHIPPING POST. Such men as this below mentioned should be given tteir own mcdicine. The proper cure is the whipping post:

EDITOR MAIL-/**W* .SIR.- Will you print the following in next Saturday's paper? There is a man living on east Poplar street who has a habit of whipping his wife and abusing her in a shameful manner. The neighbors have stood it for a long time, but it is getting too common. Last week the neighlwr* were disturlwd twice by his boating his wife and frightening his little children. She is not a woman that deserves this kind of treatment. She is a perfect lady —one that is worthy of abetter husband than this. Now if this man thinks that the people approve of his ways, he will find out his u»i*t*ke one of these nights, or he missea the guess of

THE PASSING SHOW.

PLAYS AND PLATERS

The "Irish-American," a new comedy drama, was played to a fair sized audience last night, with one J. W. McGrath billed as a star. Aside from his variety specialties, he is worse than Oliver Doud Byron. This is putting it pretty strong. Leaving him out, the company is one of more than average excellerfo, and the play a good one of its class. It is unfortunate for the stage that any man or woman with some money and more cheek may now-a-days become a star, to the affliction of a suffering public.

To-night the strong emotional actress Rose Eytinge, supported by the Brooklyn Park Theatre company, will play the latest Parisian success "The Princess of Paris." This society drama has had a remarkable run in the east. In portrayal of strong emotions Rose Eytlnge has few superiors on the stage. She is a deserving actress, paintakiug with every character she asumes, and is deserving of a large audience to-night.

JSext Saturday evening, the new star, Miss Margaret Mather, who has been setting Chicago on fire, will play here, in "Romeo aud Juliet." The Chicago Tribune of the 3rd said:

The result of Miss Margaret Mather'a first week's experience on thedrainailc stage has demonstrated in the most conclusive manner that the judgment of her manager, Mr. J. M. Hili, was not at all at fath wheu he declared, months ago that the public would not be disappointed in his star, and that she would please the taste of the most critical as well as the general theatre goers. Public patronage is universally conceded to be the only true test of succcson the stage, aud in the ease of Miss Mather this particular mark of approval has been bestowed in most generous fashion. Ni: iit after night McVicker's has been filled with audiences ihat went away o'eased and told others to come. And at the'matinee yesterday every seat in the lower part of the house was sold before the doors were open—something that does not occur twice a year. And now that the financial as well as the artistic success of the venture is assured, it Is not napproprlate to say a word in praise? of Mr. Hill, to whom the •ople of this city are indebted for the very sst presentation ot "Romeo and Juliet ever seen in this country. It is a gratifying fact, and one full of promise, to fiud a manager who appreciates tho fact that the only wav to make Shakespeare popular and profitable, is by producing his plays in a style of uniform excellence, and not by surrounding a star with a collection of sticks.

Hebb & Goodwin will publish the opera house programme, this season. Miss Lizzie Deacon, the bareback equestrienne of the Forepaugh circus, was recently transformed into Mrs. Forepaugh, Jr.

A good tent show would strike it rich in this town just now. We haven't had our share of the sawdust sport this seasou, and the people are in a good humor to see the "elephant go round."

Club snobs will next be carieatiffed in eotnic opera. W. S. Gilbert has been blackballed in a London club. The wealthy son of a retired butter merchaut had been informed that Gilbert has

respectable. Miss Mather is advertised as eighteen by her manager, while one authority places her at twenty-two, aud'another at twenty-eight. Why all this deceit about the ages of actresses Did any one ever care to ask Charlotte Cushman's or Julia Dean's or Eliza Logan's age? Or who cares how old Modjeska or Genevieve Ward Is?

Willie Edouin is playing the part of the Photographer in "Fun in a Photograph Gallery" this season. In this he is not wise. Jacques Kruger set the pattern for that part, and all who follow him in it must suffer. Mackay was a flat failure in it, and so will Edouin be, in spite of his egotism. A better plan would be to get an entirely new play. "Fun in a Thotograph Gallery" has not beon funny for a year past.

George Holland, a son of the late comedian of that name, lias been an actor for years, aud nobody who hasseen him only on the stago would guess that he had not all his senses fully developod, and yet he is so deaf that he does not ordinarily understand a word that is said by tho others in the plav. He manages to get along without cues by carefully studying the lines which are to be spoken in connection with his own, and then watches the lips of the speakers to learn when to strike in.

The first circus in the United States started out of Putnam county, N. Y., in 182S. It had eight or ten performers, as many horses, neither tent nor seats, and advertised only by marching through the villages invested, with a man ahead calling out tbe place of exhibition. The programme iucluded feats of strength, leaping, etc., and riding without saddle, and tbe ring was pitched in yards wherever convenient. After a time an elephant wan added, and from this grew the menagerie addition. In 1832 the first tout was used in New York City.

JACOB KKRX, in tbe McKeen Block, has a choice stock of Watches, Clocks Jewelry, at reasonable prices. As a watchmaker he is a master workman, and don't you forget it,
