The special edition of the Express, reviewing the manufacturing and mercantile advantages of Terre Haute, will soon be issued. The illustrations to be in the highest style of photo-engrav-ing, are being engraved by the largest and best engraving house in the world. It is known as the Moss-type process, the same as used in the Century, Harpers, Scribners and other finely illustrated magazines. The industrial edition of the Express will be printed on heavy book paper with book ink, thus bringing out the fine effects of the engravings. Manufacturers and merchants desiring representation in this edition should place orders at once for engravings and copies of the edition. Although this issue will be sixteen pages, the space to be devoted to reviews of business enterprises, is riecessarily limited, and to secure good location requests for space should be made at once.

Townley Bros, have in their show window a Burner for using natural gas in the common cooking and heating stoves. They have also the Indestructible Giant Fuel Cartridge for using common coal oil in cook and heating stoves and grates. Very cheap and convenient.

E. M. Wall & Co. the picture frame manufacturers, 125 north Fourth street, have, among recent arrivals, some very pretty new designs in mouldings. They havo also some very fine ornamented Curtain Poles.

The President Disappointed. There was only one omission of any importance on the part of the Presidential reception committee and that was in not so arranging the program so that Mr. Cleveland could have visited A. H. Boegoman's popular shoe store, 104 south Fourth street, and have seen with his own eyes how fortunate our people are in having such elegant, serviceable and neat fitting foot wear and at such astonishing low prices. Mr. Boegeman certainly has a very fine stock of boots and shoes for the fall trade, and being content with a very small margin of profit is doing a big business,

by the latter, through

the noted "Bad Debt" collecting agency of Chicago, on whose envelopes is printed the advertisement of tho firm. -"Spnxguo's Bad Debt Collecting Agency.'

The words "Bad Debt" are printed in very large letters, taking up about half the'space on tho envelop©. In legal circles there is a variance of opinion as to whether Myers Bnw. can be held for libel. Marx Myers was in Chicago yesterday, and found the agency entirely responsible. It has twenty-five subscribers among the merchants of this city. Ex-Gov. Hamilton is their attorney. They will take charge of the case and pay aU expenses of the suit, which promises to be an Interesting one.

F.xpress: Messrs. Cotm it Hcyroth have just closed their first year as agents of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Boston, with one hundred thousand dollars of choice new business written. This result is creditable alike to these gentlemen and to the staunch old company which they represent, and if we stop to think of the great good which this amount of insurance may do in our midst, of the homes it may save, the children it may edncat* and the poverty, and misery it

may

pre

vent. we can but concur In the high estimate placed upon Uf® insurance by the late insurance commissioner John K. Turbox, when he spoke of It in one of his reports as "a wise financial provision well worth the cost—an admirable human contrivance to mitigate tht ills of human adversity."
