MAT-

AND OBSERVATIONS ON TEES AROUND TOWN*

There was considerable talk on the reets last Tuesday to the effect that an 'tempt would be made to amend the fletropolitan police ordinance, but for ome reason or other such an attempt not made. According to the promme as given ont, the amended ordinance wan to do away with the police :pmmissionera, the superintendent* to elected by the councils The attempt, is said, was an outgrowth of the factional fight in the Democratic ranks, and jad it been carried out it is further said

In the examination of the I first witness on Wednesday, Mr. Harper asked him if he was a Democrat, receiving an affirmative answer, Mr. Lamb Ltoroke in with: "Harper, he can answer (that question more satisfactorily than 'you can," meaning, of course, to emjtlinzi/.e the fact, now being dwelt upon, that a man who voted against Mr. Lamb is not a Democrat. Mr. Harpor enjoyed tho remark which occasioned a smile or two. ______

Mr. "Young, 'who is a shrewd business nmnagor, has a good company, and is playing to crowd*d houses everywhere in his circuit. Ho '/has for his leading man Oliver H. Barr, who played in Aidrich's "My Partiior'* here oneo, and is a first-class actor. Tho

achieved by Mr. Young—who

[started out as a property man—is furthor proof that you can't keep a Terre Haute man down, unless you build a fence around him, and then in all probability

Jio'll make a balloon and got out. Tho loss of the printing of the Locomotive Firoman Magazine by Mooro A I.angon is one of tho severest blows revolved by the printing interests of Terre Haute for a long time. It is bad. not alone for the firm named, but for the -ity, which can illy afford just now to lose a single Industry. Quite a number of printers and binders are thrown out I of employment, but these are not tho I only ones to suffer. "Wo don't like it very well over here," said Postmaster

Began, tho other day, "as it will reduce

our receipts from newspaper postage I several hundred dollars In the courso of year. Tho mailing will be done at the

Svansvllle office, and it will get the ,. onofit of the change." The contract was awarded last Saturday, as has boon noted by tho daily papers, to Keller A Paine, of Kvansvllle, who accept the ork at such ruinously low rates that it is hard to see how tlioy can profit anything by it. Few persons hero—except those connected with it—have an idea of

of the magazine,

which is in tho neighborhood of twentyfive thousand copies, of which it is deserving as the well-edited and interesting organ of one of the strongest conservative labor organisations in the country, Thoro is nothing small about the

Brotherhood, as it offers a cash prise of jytivo hundred dollars to the member securing the greatest number of subscribers for tho present year.

The talk of the Terre Haute Southwestern railway is again In circulation, tuml an informal meeting of our business men has been held to discuss the project and the proposition made by the Illinois backers of the enterprise. It is not the best season of tho year to disc«ss railroad ^enterprises, but a good cause cannot bo injured by reasonable agitation, and it is possible that Terre Haute capitalists can be induced to take hold of this enterprise, which promises so much for our business interests. There are men her© willing to do this if it Is presented to them in the right light, and there is evidence of a real attempt to go into it. The way is open—if we can't make it out we »re the losers, _____

The present outlook isn't very favorable for the local ice dealers, who have Jjput up very little ice here for a few years past, bringing it from other points.

Moved Up-Town.

Kussner's Palace of Music was this week moved on Main street and its patrons will now find it elegantly installed in the Marble Block, 628 Wabash Avenue,—occupying the entire three floors— where a cordial welcome will be extend ed to all.
