THK Ringgold Band gave the first, this season, of their delightful open air •concerts at the music-stand west of the Terre Haute House on Tuesday evening
MBS. TAYLOR'S mad stone was applied this week and has no doubt saved the lives of Oeorge Brado and son, liv Ing at St. Marys, who were bitten by a mad dog last Monday.
THK season for showing off a young nan's ears has arrived. The young man boys a little dollar straw hat and •ets it on the top of his bead after hav tng had his hair cut short. The ears ctand out in bold relief. I
IT is not a new thing to say, but it is nevertheless true, that six days a week art enough in which to sell whisky and beer, and with a change of city administration, now is a good time to begin •cutting off the seventh day allowance.
THE railroads runniag into the city will bring visitors to the Raoes foi one «ent a mile. This low rate—the lowest ever offered—with a ten cent round trip to fair grounds will attract large delegations from the surrounding towns.
THIS is tb6 season of the year when tbe ladies envelop their beautiful countenances in the thickest of veils and then expect all of their male acquaintances to recognize them on sight—probably by their handsome figure and elegant carsiage.
THB "Dead Shot" as Interpreted by Misses Alice and Kate Fischer, Will Morgan, John Hager, George Mabare mnd Ira Calder, is alone worth the price of admission to the benefit concert of the Dick tbompson Zouaves next Wednesday evening. *—TT, x, "WHERE shall we go for tn^ summer T" is the question again agitating many households. Why not stay at home and have a good timer But wherever you go order The Mail to follow, and you .will at least know all the fun the people at home are having.
THB Fish Bros. Wagon Works company has collapsed, and the material eontraoted for building Is advertised for sale. The cause of the failure is the inability of Col. Fish and his friends to po« any money into the enterprise. After all the talk and the high hopes buiided, it Is quite a disappointment to have this big scheme dissolve into thin *lr.
THBRB IS no one action in whirh people display such poor taste as in visiting the sick. A call at the door with a kind message, a flower or a tempting morsel of food is very welcome and appropriate bat there is a certain class who insist upon crowding into the sick room to gratify a morbid curiosity and obtain an official bit of gossip to retail around the neighborhood.
IT is said the papers prepared by the pupils of the Publio Schools for the Madison exhibit are remarkably neat, correct and beautiful. We suggest that they be placed on exhibition In Ter& Haute before they are sent to Madison. A great many people here have no idea of the work that is being done in our public schools and much of the criticism that la frequently made could be silenced by exhibiting the almost perfect work pupils. vJ/

THE QOMrXQ HACKS, The races which begin May 27th and continue four days, bid fair to realise the moat enthusiastic anticipations indulged in by the projectors of the meetlog. Every race of tho large number programmed has been filled, and in some dames the entries number into the teens, and include some of the most famous horses in the Wast, many worth going hundreds of miles to sea.

Skin Disease of Over Fifty Years Standing, Which killed Two Children in my Family
Cure by Dr. Wilbur.
I have been a terrible sufferer for oyer 50 years, with a skin disease which seemed to baffle the skill of a great many lysidans in Lima, Ohio, and in Terre aute. It itched and pained me so Of nights I could hardly sleep no oue knows how I have suffered, 1 had two children die with the same disease—the doctor called it scrofula and tetter—but did it no good. I had spent hundreds of dollars trying to get well. I called on Dr. Wilbur and be guaranteed me a cure. I took treatment, and although I have only been taking his remedies for a few weeks, I am to-day a well woman, as my skin disease is all gone, no pain or itchileep all night long, a before.
I can now sleep

Plaster From
an old Resident of Terre Haute.
I have bad a bunch on my nose for five years, which commenced to cause severe pain, all over my nose and cheek my husband died with one which started on his lip in exactly the same manner. I applied to physicians but they told me to let it alone. It got so painful I applied to Dr. Wilbur, he put plaster on it and drew it out in fifteen minutes, with 5 roots each of which were near one inch in length. I must confess it is far superior to the knife, as it gave me no pain.
