NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

The work of drilling for natural gas is being actively carried on, and it is the general belief that that greatly prized product will be reached—a result that will mean a great deal of good to Terre laule's material interests. There is insiderable ground for the belief that will be reached, from the fact that [hen the artesian well was drilled a flow •of gas was struck, but was not utilized on account of it not being a "dry bore," the flew of water retarding the flow of

The theory of the natural gas wells Wad their direction from each other, jpad the gentlemen interested in the local •enterprise to believe that gas will be reachod here. If it is, and the success •creates any such furore as it has in other places, the owner of even the most modest property hero would be able to enjoy the advantages of a Crresua. The discovery of natural gas added to our other resources would give Terre Haute a boom greater than she has ever enjoyed. Manufacturers could then bo induced to locate here with leas difficulty than at other titries for this could be used as an additional argument, that if the supply of natural gas should ever fail manufacturers who have been prevailed upon to remove here would bo able to secure coal at a lower price than any other place they oould have located. Let us hope that .the company will strike natural gas, as well for the Interests of the city, as for its own profit.

Now that the time has come around again for holding primary conventions "no citizens of tho Second ward begin to ealize the loss in tho removal of the old landmark, the carpenter shop at Seventh and Walnut, which was from tiino immemorial, the place for holding primaries and voting. It seems, now, liko an old friend had gone. An election with the old carpontor shop out of tho way will hardly seem like an election. ______ /The Republican primaries are to be Weld next Wednesday, for the nomination of oouneilmen in each ward and tho seloction of delegates to the city nominting convention one week from toight. Evory Republican should attend these primary meetings, see to it that good men aro nominated for council in «»oh of tho six wards, and proper men oJlhosen for delegates. Attendance at primaries is the first duty of every Republican interested in the success of the party. The oxcuso is often heard, "I'm not in tho habit of attending primaries, havon't the time." And right here is «r,fiore the mistake is made. Every man iliould tako the timo to vote. He can afford it in tho interests of the city and of good government. But thore are nany who fail to attend, and the fact hould be impressed upon the minds of that it is a duty incumbent upon torn.

A car load trotters came in from Chicago yesterday morning to go into training at the fair grounds.

Jack Hay den, the trotter, owned by Fitemaurice, of Columbus, Indiana, and here last year, baa been sold to Chicago parties for $6,000.

The new court house bell most be a wonderfully shaped afihir if, as stated in all three the daily papers, it is only five feet high and fifteen feet in diamater.

A more beautiful Easter than that of last Sunday the sun never shone on. It is a pleasure to refer to the old saying that whatever the weather is on Easter so it will be on the seven following Sundays. S'

It costs the "Devils Auction" company, $246. to come from Dayton to this city next week. Had the inter-state law1 not been in force, the customary rate to travelling companies, with passes, would have cut these figures in half.

For saying to an acquaintance that he thought "the G—d d—n Salvationists had about as much religion as a durned wagon wheel," Justice Felsentbal on Thursday assessed a fine of $1. and costs against a man named Rusk, living on south First street.

The famous trotting mare l^hyuis which won the free for all purse here last fall, died on shipboard on the way to Austria. The mare was purchased by A. J, Prince Smith for export from Charles Wagner, of Dickerson's Landing, Ontario, and was valued at $13,000. She was bred and raised by Wagner and gained ligr, record of 2:15M at Clevelt^pd in 1885. 7

The servant girl question in all its terrible forms is the live issue of the day in feminine circles in Terre Haute. One intelligence office this week had 27 applications for girls and not a girl to send out. The overall factories are absorbing the women workers, who prefer the $3 a week and independence obtainable at these manufactories to $3 a week mul board with kitchen constraint

Judging from the comments heard in central part of town and the number of names signed to the cow ordinance petition, the local politician is afraid of his shadow. Instead of the enforcement of such an ordinance being unpopular the contrary would seem to be true. The averago councilman knows that all previous efforts to pass an ordinance have failed and has heard that false pretext about the poor man's cow so often, that In his imgination.ho sees a big bugbear when none exists. j, •$ 'i *it" &

The real estate transfers in March were one third larger than in the same month tho preceding year and all other evidences point to a steady and substantial appreciation in values. The building permits are not so.enoouraging that is tho amounts as stated by those who are oreoting-new buildings are far below the real valijo. It is a sort of an ostrich hiding p/o§^ by*which a man who intends to erect a $10,000 building asks for a permit for $2,500 thinking that he will escape paying part of his just taxes.

It is not generally known that a Chicago company recently began qiaking mineral paint near Youngstown, this county. Thero is a ledge of soft rock thero which is said to be unsurpassed for making mineral paint. Tho rock pulverises without a particle of grit. Near this ledge is another which furnishes a first-class quality of whetstones. Already several carloads of the mineral paint powder have been shipped away. Tho machinery so far has cost the company several thousand dollars.
