Tr-AifNEM will have to go—bat the weather bureau has net set the time. THK wood market has been transferred to jockey alley, one square north of t£e old stand. *THE spring advertising cards are very pretty. Those sent out by John 6. Heinl and L. F. Purdue are the most beautifnl that have ever been distributed in the city.

THK city council has extended the time for paying city t§xes to the third Monday in May. The first installment of county taxes must be paid on Monday to avoid the penalty.

THS prison scene from Trovatore, to *he given at Mtas Fischer's benefit next Friday eight, is alone worth the price of admission. The same is true of either of the other pieces on the programme

A NUMBER of new saloons are being started in different parts of the eity in anticipation of the campaign. A high license would put a damper on this promiscuous and irresponsible saloon bus!

"I'M SO tired" Is the exclamation of «very other person you meet. There is probably considerable malaria lurking in the system, and it is well to remember the old adage, "An ounce of prevention,"etc.

THE ladies of the Congregational church have found it much more profit able and much less trouble to give Ex' changes instead of Suppers, as has been the custom, but the public tbe aoclal entertainments. .yjjSuNDAY afternoon was the occasion of a very pretty German custom at St. An thooy's hospital. The Sister Superior hid tbe Easter eggs in various parts of tbe yard and tbe patients had a merry time hunting for them.

THH young people speak in the most glowing terms of theelegant party given on Tuesday evening by Mrs. A.J. Crawford. Miss Mollie and Master* Alex are particularly blessed in having a mother who enters so zealously into the sports of children*, ^V fj*

Now that pie plant pies are in season we give the advice of an experienced housekeeper in regard to tbe "yarb." Peel and cut In small pieces, pour boil

MRS. MARGARET SCOTT, died last Saturday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles L. Braman, at the age of 75 years. She was brought to Yinoinnes when an infant. Fifty years ago she was married to tbe late John Soott, and has since resided in this city, loved and esteemed for her many good works.

THS sweetest music of spring is tbe sound of hkmmer and saw that comes from all directions. It tells of prosper! ty, of plenty of work and good wages, of the homes that are building, of in dastry, peace and oomfort. This is a spring poem that will not go into the waste paper basket^

And so our government building isn't going to be so pretty as we were led to aspect. Thegorerment computers find that a building on the plan which was on exhibition at the office of Tennant A Thomas will cost |800,000—double the amount of the appropriation—and now another plan is being made to oome within the limit.

BANGUES of ten cent pieces and the new nickels are all the rage. They are used for breastpins, bracelets, necklaoes, etc. Tbe popularity of the young lady la guaged by the number of her bangles. Each gentleman presenting a bangle is expected to have it polished and engraved with his monogram, and he may thank his stars that it Is not the fashion to have gold bangles.

DURING tbe exercises in the Second wani school yard on Arbor my, some vagabond boys fastened a dead chicken on a pole and swung it over the heads of 'the ringing children. There is an increasing number of each boys as this, roaming the streets without employmentand without education. They ate into all kinds of mischief and their

THE notorions "Kid" Gerard will not trouble our people with his unwelcome night calls for a long time. He was caught last Sunday night by watchman Frank Hanisch, burglarizing Myers Fish Market, on Ohio street, and en being arraigned in the circuit court, plead guilty, expecting the usual two years. But Judge Scott, knowing his bed record, be said must take five years.

THS base ball season wss fairly inaugurated this week with games on Sunday, Wedneeday, Thursday and Friday. Since Sunday the weather has been unfavorable to large attendance. This afternoon and to-morrow the Terre Haute's will play the Fort Waynes, a strong clnb. These will hp tbe first games with the Northwestern League.

THE body of Jacob Ironsmith was discovered last Monday afternoon floating on the surface about seventy-five yards below where he wss last seen when he jumped into the river three weeks sgo. It is supposed to have been weighted down by drifting sand, and was brought to the surface by a passing steamer. It was towed to the east bank of the river and after beiDg viewed by the coroner, interred in the cemetery.

LIKE a clap of thunder from a dear sky came the announcement on Wednesday, that R. W. Rippetoe had sold his large grocery store, so well known as tbe White Front, which he has so successfully conducted for twenty-one years. No business man in this city has pnt in as hard work in as many years, and we are glad to know that as a reward for his industry, perseverance and good business tact, he has accumulated sufficient worldly wealth to take the after years of life more easily. The lucky purchasers are Ed. R. Wright, formerly of Wright & Kaufman, and Will A. McFarland, also well posted ip the grocery trade. That they will do a successful business at this popular stand none who know them can doubt.

IN the Second ward on Arbor day, a pleasant compliment was paid Miss Hersey by naming a tree in her honor Miss Hersey deserves greater and more substantial honors than this. After thirty years of faithful and valuable ser vice she ought to be retired on a pension and live in ease and comfort all the rest of her life. But since Miss Hersey m'ght decline doing this, it certsinly would be a graceful act for the hundreds of her former pupils to offer some permanent recognition of her kind, patient and thorough teachings. Parents have al ways esteemed it a privilege for their children to be under Miss Hersey's care and training, and it only needs some one to take the lead in offering to this estimable lady and devoted teacher some substantial token of regard and appred atlon.

Tfl#DavIs Family gave their promls ed "Evening of Popular Songs" on Monday evening to an audienoe com pletely filling the Opera House from the front row of orchestra chairs to the topmost seat in the gallery. It was a com plete suoosss in every respect. How could it be otherwise with such a mag nificent audience, the fine instrumentation of the Appollo orchestra, the bandsome stage setting arranged by Ren Early, tbe beautiful flowers, plants and boquets, the gifts of admiring friends, the congratulatory address of Mayor Armstrong and the charming home-like songs of this remarkable family, whose touching melodies, robust chorosses, artistic solos and laughable glees—with persistent ahd not-to-be-refused encores —kept the audience in a jolly good humor from, the going op of the curtain, revealing the father, mother, children— thirteen in all—to the dosing and appropriate "Good Night" chorus. But the three daily papers have told our people all about it and we only wish we had space to repeat the pretty things they have said. The Mail seconds most emphatically, and voicee the sentiment of our people, the suggeetion of Msyor Armstrong that for many yean to come each Monday evening following Easter be set ap*rt for an evening of popular songs by the Davis Family.

COMIC OPERA COMING. Gilbert A Sullivan's charming opera, "lolanthe," will be presented here for the first time, next Wednesday evening by the St. Quinten Opera Co. The opera abounds with sparkling music and the plot develops the keenest wit from the pen of the satirical Gilbert, The elegant stands pnt up by this company are the finest ever brought to this dty. On Thursday evening Offenbach's last production, "Madame Favart," will be given. Tbe St. Quinten Opera Co. has a large, well-trained chorus of thirty voices, original scsnery and gorgeous costumes. Mile. 8t. Quinten hss lovely voice and has msde quite a reputation in the larger dties. Tbe entire cast is composed of the very finest comic opera talent in thia oountry.

J. do declare, I hainfc been so agitated since

aqr

daughter's last baby wan born as I was this week, to hear that my man Rippetoe had sold Ids White Front grocery to Ed. Wright and Will McFarland. But thia hs a world of change and we must get used to it. Ik is gratifying to know thai the store nas passed into the bands of such clew people and experienced grocers as Wright and

McFarland. Mr. Rippetoe has had mighty honorable career since he christened the White Front twenty-one yean

Sunter.

o, in the room now occupied by Jins Afterwards, you remember be moved into the room next door, but that was too small for him, for his honorable and fair dealing, accommodating disposition and keeping the best goods, nd built up a bigger trade than any other grocery store in town, and he had to have built the big double room where he now is, and where to-day may be found everything you could wish for your table. Mr. Rippetoe goes ont on tbe 28th—a week from next Monday, and I suggest that all of next week we all jobs in giving him a benefit by doingoor trading at the White Front. Hell appreciate it and give us bargains.
