IOTXB AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.
Beard a man say, several weeks ago, -£bst the town was being hart more than it could possibly be benefitted by tbe newspapers and ontside talk abont tbe k^boom." In view of the failure of the wagon works company to maintain its organization the theory appears to have been abont right. Here at home we •, know that it was not the fault of Terre
Haute enterprise or Terre Haute capital lhat tbe company did not succeed in its ^original object, but it will be bard to counteract tbe wrong impression that
1
will be created outside. A city in which •80,000 of stock can be raised for such a purpose in so short a time, andjin which tbe ground is donated, cannot be said te lie lacking either in enterprise or capi $ taL But it was too much like the old story of the partnership in which one $ roan furnished tbe capital and the other ifce experience. Col. Irish's experience may be valuable, but the gentlemen lnteres ted in the project did not care to place 180,000 against bis experience. •1-That's the whole business in a nutshell
-^JThe outcome of the matter may be ex r-' case for saying that tbe popular slang phrase about "catching a fish," came sear being reversed in this case. Our capitalists came near being caught,by a
Tbe
v"
gentlemen who subscribed to the aftoek
of the company are out some hundied* of dollars, but there are others |gj who
are still great losers. One man that I
heard of, spent several thousands
r,-|»f dollars in purchasing land adjacent to the
rite of the works, thinking the buildJog woukl greatly Increase tbe value of his
property. Of course be has tbe land T*t but it will take along time to realise on his
Investment.
••It la said" that the directors of the base ball club have appointed a commlttee to devise ways and means by which 0 oar club can win some games. It has played against tbe weather, superior clubs, hard luck, etc., and now when
they appear to have some show, an urnpits robs them. The committee,atoreaald will offer a reward for some feasi* ble plan, by which the club can win,
There is no question but that the recent sweeping change in tbecemplexion of the city government was due in great measure to the marked inefficiency 1 in the police, fire and streetdepartmeats. liThe people voted for a change that ^'woald bring efficiency, The council in ^appointing Ed. Vandever, Lawreuce
JCrets and J. E. Voorbeea as the heads Of these departments, selected men who have been
tried and whose ability is un-
fpiestioned. With the proper support of their respective committees they will make tbe efficient of their departments matter of note. sk
There are
kickers and kickers wbo
JUUed to get on the departments, and on the
night of the council meeting there was
talk of indignation meetings in aaveral of the wards. But for some reaaon or other these meetings failed to come to time. There's bound to be Idekers, no matter who is nominated for office, and the eoancilmeu, Democrats or Republican, who can fix up a slate without bringing down upon themselves tbe maledictions of disappointed ones, are not fit dwellers In this cruel world. They properly belong to tbe bright hereafter, where golden harps, *ngello wings and Gabriel's horn form •tteh prominent features.
What is oemlng over this city of late A glance through the dally papers for a week or so past shows a perfect epidemic of nastinesa. Never before was there chronicled in so abort a time aa many bastardy, seduction, rape and other filthy aa in the past few weeks. Can observing person furnish an explanation of the epidemic?
S- 0
Mothers cannot be too careful in the watch they keep over their daughters. Hot long ago a case was reported in which a little girl, walking along one of ear streets in tbe evening, was assaulted by aome brute who was driven away beSon accomplishing his evil purpose. Another case which haa never been sssde pabUc, came to light recently. A ntaaaber of school girls in passing the saloon of a wretch, wbo deserves hanging, were solicited by him to enter the plans and 1m would give them candy. Be attempted to kisa one of the little DISS, called her "sweetheart," and in other ways attempted to indnce them to eater his place, but without avail. They were not old enough to realise lhe brute's intentions, and said nothing tS the occurrence until weeks after. It served to pat the parents of the little children oa their guard, and while the 1 original oflbaes was too old to redress, jti» slightest approach to it again will be esiiK^gh to secure a first dans sensational litem fur the papers, and add another to the force of firomea who are supposed to stake things warm for those who dwell beoeath oa.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT,.
Northern Dakota.
This section of the new Northwest is traversed by the lines of the St. Paul, Minneapolis A Manitoba and the Northern Padfic Railways. The Cbicsgo, Milwaukee A St. Paul Railway, between Chicago and St. Paul, is the connecting link between the Eastern States and Northern Dakota.
Tbe soil of Northern Dakota generally is a rich, black loam, varying in depth from a few inches on the high rolling hills, to from three to ten. feet in the valleys. The subsoil is strongly impregnated with lime and alkaline dements, which are perpetual fertilisers of the wheat fields. The valleys and lower lands are unsurpassed, if not unequaled, on the globe, for grain growing, while tbe higher and rougher regions furnish splendid grazing for stock all the year round. All varieties of smsll grain, wheat, rye, oats, barley and buckwheat, grow in perfection and such vegetables as potatoes, beets, turnips, squashes, pumpkins and cabbages attain almost monstrous proportions, and are of ddidous flavor. Wild plums, raspberries, gooseberries and strawberries grow everywhere in great abundance, and tbe culture of small fruits will, undoubtedly, soon become an important and profitable industry."
Timber is found along all the streams and lake-sides, and in the Turtle Mountains there is a forest covering 550,000 acres, or about eight hundred and fifty square miles, in an unbroken body. Cottonwood is the prindpal variety, with an intermingling of oak, ash and elm. An excellent quality of lignite is found in unlimited quantities near Bismarch and Mandan, and in the Turtle Mountain region.
Many branches of manufacturing are already flourishing, and others are being rapidly established. All manufactures in which straw can be utilized as material and fuel will be sure of sucoess. Yielding everywhere vest harvests of barley and other grain, breweries and distilleries have been found profitable wbdrever introduced. With a soil which produces from two hundred to four hundred bushels of potatoes to the acre, and sugar beets of almost incredible size in tbe greatest profusion, factories for tbe making of starch and beet-su-gar would succeed anywhere. Many varieties of agricultural implements oould be manufactured at large profits, and there is'a fortune for every compete enttdairyman who sets his churns and and cheese-presses to work near any growing North Dakota town.
The climate is dry, healthful and invigorating, calculated to promote the development of a strong, active race of men and animals, and the perfection of all vegetation adapted to the latitude. Dakota horses, cattle and wheat are large, strong and healthy.
Ben Blanchard, 680 Main street, can give any additional information that may be desired.
