A
POOL
hard-working woman went
into a saloon here in the dty and Implored the owner not to sell any more liquor to her husband, a miserable drunken wretch. She was sneeringly told by the bar-tender to go home and attend to her own business. Her business was taking in washing to supply her husband with money to buy liquor and for this reason the saloon keeper was anxious to have her get to work.
LAST Tuesday brought out the usual crop of disreputable voters who made no secret of being for sale. One man stood on the corner and stated that the price of his vote was five dollars and he didn't care which party bought it. Another went up to a Democrat and said, "It is almost six o'clock and the Republicans offer me two dollars." A man worth twenty-five thousand sold his vote for ten. Another in comfortable drcumstances offered to vote for whichever party would pay his poll tax. These are only a few of the instances which show how cheaply a great many men value the franchise.

Terre Haute Races.
FroSpeets for a Good Meeting—The Entries All In.
The races which begin May 27th and continue four days, bid fair to realize the most enthusiastic anticipations indulged in by the projectors of the meeting. Every race of the large number programmed has been filled, and in some classes the entries number into the teens.
Some of the more conservative members of the 1 rotting Association shook their heads when it was proposed to give 96,000 in purses, and argued that as there had been money loet by the association when but $3,000 or less, had been given in purses, to give 98,000 or double the amount would throw the association deeply In debt. But the sentiment of the new blood in the association backed up by some ef the older members, was that large purees would bring large fields of horses, and the latter would bring the people. We are happy that such sentiments prevailed, and the announcement that Terre Haute would hang up f8,000 for races was sent sllover the country. Sporting {tapers and horsemen in every corner of the United States talked of the meeting and the excellent opportunity for horsemen to gather in a few, dollars through the well arranged Indiana and Illinois and the Northwestern drcuits, Terre Haute being a member ef both drcuits and the starting place. The result of the movement is the large number of entries now booked, thus assuring tons the very best races ever witnessed outside of such dties as Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville.
Look at the field of horses to start. The 3 trot has 13 entries, the 2:45 trot 14 entries, the 2:34 trot 12 entries, the 2:35 pace 6 entries, ihe 2:25 pace 5 entries including such flyers as Buck Dickeraon, Sallie B., Jack Rapid and Rostrelver. The 2:25 trot .10 entries including Florence M., accord 2:25% Code, bay stallion by Dictator, sire of Jay-Eye-See-Phallas and Director, who trotted last year as a four-year-old to a record of 2:27)4 and will reach the records of his brothers this year. Roll record 2:27K, John Hall, Joe Davis, Corbln's Bashaw and others, there is a "horse race" in this class sure.
In the free-for-all there are eight entries, and as fine afield of horses as ever faced a starter. Catchfly record in 1883 2:19, and by many Norsemen thought to be the mare to edipse the record of Maud S. She is a large beautifully proportioned bay mare with a resolute way of going, and a gait that is perfection. Deck Wright, record I:19$ J3ig Soap, record 2:23 Foxie V. record 2:23%, Will Cody, record 2:19K Willis Woods, record 2:25 Frank Landers, record 2:26)£ Lee W. (Sorghum), record 2:26K whg was scgdlast year on the Terre Saute 6dr grouudaT for ff,000.
These famous horses are worth gofcg hundreds of miles to see, and it is the first opportunity the people of Terre Haute and vidnity have had to see such famous flyers in a race.
Added to the trotting and pacing races above mentioned, are the running races for large purses, and the steeple chases a novelty of our people. A good two mile course will be laid out through and around the track, and hurdles, fences, ditches and walls erected for the jumpers. The steeple races will be the most exciting races of the meeting, lor there is no grander sight than afield of blooded hunters, well ridden, taking the jumps in good style, flying over fences and ditches three or four abreast.
This magnificent program of fonr days' radng must draw large crowds of people. Excursions will come in on all railroads, the fare being reduced on all of them to one cent per mile, the lowest rate ever obtained over our roads. Terre Haute will enjoy a carnival of radng duriBg that week, and we cordially invite all of our neighbors to share it with us.
A CARD.
Having sold my entire stock of groceries te Byera Brothers, and leased them the building for a term of years, at the corner of Fourth and Ohio streets, better known as the Star Grooery, I recommend them to the public as being honorable and straightforward business men. We have been neighbors in the same business for several years and before and since taking onr invoice of goods, 1 have found them to be live and perfect business gentlemen. I ask for them the patronage that has been so liberally bestowed on me for the past eighteen years, for which I extend my grateful and sincere thanks to the people of Terre Haute and Vigo and surrounding counties and especially to Honey Creek Townshiy. 2t WoaoH NAYLOB.

Removed in Seven Hours by Dr. Wilbur.
I have been suffering constantly for five years. Had a varied appetite used to eat twelve biscuits for supper and drink a whole gallon of buttermilk before bed time, and get up at night and drink milk used to vomit baa headache and a buzzing in my ears very restless at night could hardly get any sleep. I consulted seventeen M- D's. Finally Dr. B. F. Tomlln told me my trouble was piles, and agreed to cure me sound and well it I would give bim |K) down and 10 after I was well. He operated on me and made me a great deal worse, and then he owned up to me that he did not know what my real troble was, and wanted me to go to Louisville to find out.
Dr. Tomlln then asked me to pay the other 10, but I never paid it. I consulted Dr. Wilbur, and he told mq I had a tapeworm and gave me some medidne, and in seven hours I passed this terrible monster that had been making my life miserable. Dr. Wilbur is the first physician that ever told me what my real trouble was. I advise all people who are suffering to call on him, as he is a genial, warm-hearted friend of the affiioted.
