THE Races next week will draw largely from the surrounding country, and many ardent admirers of fast travelers will come from distant points.
THE Apolla Band and the Thompson Zouaves make a gay crowd in their new uniforms. That of the Appllas is the prettiest band uniform yet seen here.
"PLANCHETTE," that mysterious, tantalizing, half-human and half-diabolical creation, is being revived as a source of amusement among th£ young people.
WE will refrain from publishing a list of the numbers who went fishing last Sunday but will only say they all got caught in the heaviest rain of the season- vV#j
THKBE is again talk of a Woman's Exchange. We hope if any of our fitisens are approached concerning it they will give it the encouragement it deserves. -1' TAKE advantage of the excursion rates to visit Chicago next week. Besides ether attractions in the big city on the lake, the music festival promises to be a magnificent affair.
To fill along felt want, 8taff A Cas^iday opened a now saloon'this week, on Main street, the most gorgeous of ils kind, if we are to credit ihe glowing descriptions of the daily press.
E Normal School closes on the thirteenth of June, the city schools not till one week later. There are very few schools In tlia Siate that stay in session so late in the summer as those of Terre Haute.
WE have had seven weeks of ball and not a single accident, THIS IS nard on the reporters, but as tbea*sociated press sends about four thousand words a day on base bail matters tbo newspapers cannot complain.
LAST Tuesday was the anniversary of the death of Mrs. Horman Hulman aud it WHS commemorated by beautiful and improssive services at St. Anthony's hospital, that noblo monument to her memory, so richly endowed by the most devoted of husbands.
THE benefit concert of the Thompson Zouaves was not a "benefit" to them, as the expenses footed up more thsn the receipts at the door. But the audience bad thf "benefit" as it was a very enjoyable entertainment.,
THE members of the Chrlstfancbureh know "when they have a good thing," aud h«*ve no idea of losing their minister. They hav© set about to raise his salaiy from $1,400 to 12,000—the same as offered by Grand Rapids, which it is understood will induce him to stay.
THE weather this week has been al most perfect. A heavy rain laid the ust and tho warm sun and soft spring air have made ,lHo a pleasure. This weather is especially acceptable to the teachers and pupils of the schools who have tho hardest work of the year yet befsre them.
THE avenues of the new cemetery have been laid out and a name will be adopted at the meeting of the "commissioners next month. Mr. Bain has been selected as superintendent at a salary of fl^OO a year. He has been assistant superintendent of Spring Grove cemetery, Cincinnati, and is said to be a very competent man. He is a bachelor, some fifty years of age. His office will be la the old building on the grounds.
MAY MVSrCAL FSSTJ TA L* "The Ringgold Band has for several years been a big feature of our dty—its visits to other cities have always given tsa big credit mark, we listen to its music with pleasure and refer to It with pride.

A FELLOW who was carrying Mils for a celebrated travelling physician, this week, came to a house with crape on the door. Calmly taking in the situation be walked to the open parlor window where the corpse lay 'and thrust a bill through the shutters.
IK the wreck caused by the failure of the wagon works are the two eaterpris ing citizens who planned for a couple of saloons in the near vicinity of the works, for the convenience of the laboring men, They will not open their saloons, but what is their loss is that community's gain.
THERE is every indication of a big time at the Fair Grounds next week. The railroads running into the city will bring visitors to the Races for one cent a mile. This low rate—the lowest ever offered—with a ten cent round trip to fairgrounds will attract largedelega tlons from the surrounding towns.
THE usual spring complaint is made regarding the depredations on the flower beds. In many localities the blossoms are snatched off as soon as they come out and frequently plants are pulled out by the roots. Girls as well as boys are concerned in these potty stealings and parents wher read this item are recom mended to question their children closely in regard to it.
Dr. CABVEB, "The Evil Spirit of the Plains," is stranded in this city and his Wild West Show disbanded. Bad business and inability to pay his men is the^ cause. He seems to be honorable gentleman, and webelelve would pay if he could and will when he can. As soon as be gets through wrestling with the cow-boys, Indians and lawyers he intends to reorganize hisshow and proceed, on his way.
A BAND of remarkably nice-looking gypsies have been encamped on the Bloomington road this week. Their conveyances were as nicely" painted as circus wagons, and the lace curtains, looped back, revealed snowy bedding, handsome articles of dress, etc. Perps the numerous carriages full of ladies, who stopped to inspect the camp, did not go out to have their fortunes told, but they certainly "held up their hands."
THERE IS no better indication of a small town than street loafers. Terre Baute is abundantly supplied and has some to spare. In large cities these street loaters are not tolerated, they are constantly told to "move on." Men cannot hove any idea of the embarrassment It causes a modest woman to pass a line of these fellows who gaze boldly into her face uutil she is past and then criticise her appearance. A great many of our ladles will not walk on the south side of Maiu street between Fourth and Fifth or do any shopping on thatsida on account of these annoying "loafers."
Tats month and next Terre Haute is at the height of her beauty. lu no other city can you see mile after mile of forest trees, not alone upon the principal avenues but on the cross streets and byways, all robed in the brightest and tenderest of green. In the suburbs the gardens are full of promise, long rows of lettuce, onious and radishes ready for the market, peas, beans and potatoes rapidly coming on, acres of strawberries just showing the red, and rich pastures green grass and clover ready to be converted into milk aud hotter. The country around Id one vast and productive garden spot, unconscious of panics and indifferent to all the uncertainties of a presidential campaign.
—Next week W. F. Staples the photographer will be prepared to do the largest sized pictures—16 by20 Inches—at the low prices he has inaugurated. For the revolution in price.** he has caused, he Is now reaping substantial reward. His business has settled down to a steady, reliable basis, and his patrons are well satisfied with his work. He is one of the most artistic and skillful photographers in the country, and he says he never before took better negatives than at the present time.
THE ART LOAN EXHIBITION. One of the most pretentious efforts ever undertaken, In the way of local entertainments, will be the art loan exhibition, by the ladies of St. Stephen's Altar Society, which begins next Wednesday, and will continue for ten days. The sjtetioas Rose residence is being cleaned and prepared for the reception of the many treasures of art and antiquity to be placed on exhibition there.

Dr. Wilbur announces that he will proton his stay—at first announced for fifteen davs—until the 4th of June. He will sitively stay no longer as other engagi

performed a number of miraculous cures. Dr. Wilbur has shown himself to a physician and surgeon of remakable skill apd ability, and given ample evi dence of his knowledge and attainments He has certainly been a good Samaritan to a large number of afflicted people, and sufferers continue to crowd bis office daily in pearch of that relief which only an accomplished man of experience, culture and professional ability can afford.
