*A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Several cow owners hsve had to walk

up to the mavor's office this week and If

settle for allowing their cows to run out at night. The hynting season is here. On each pleasant morning some of our people go out ostentatiously carrying guns.

They

return very quietly at night.

There was a dearth of "local news" during the summer months, but the fall .season has brought enough of sensational matter to make a big average.

The council did a very proper thing the other night in refusing to reduce the license fee of auctioueers. It will shut out the snide concerns that usually run in about this time of year to take from our own merchants the cream of the holiday trade.

It is lawful to shoot quail now but hot many are being brought to town, and those that are coming in are very small and hardly "worth the powder." Oysters are plentiful, t»nd big, however, and may be we can got through the season. Moreover bass and all kinds of fish are up to the standard and the supply Is sufficient. Sjo if cabbages fall short we may be able to avoid starvation.

Rev. H. O. Brceden will lecture at the Christian church to-morrow evening on "Modern Reforms, Criminal, Charity and Suffrage." In this lecture Mr. Breeden will take occasion to express his views on the subject of Woman Suffrage. In consideration of the Woman Suffrage convention to be held in this city next month, Mr. Breeden's opinions will possess a particular interest just at this time. Tho lecture will undoubtedly attract a large and appreciative audience.

The deatli la«t Sunday morning of Pierre Mclz Donnelly, the druggist, removes a familiar figure from our streets and a business man long identified with Terre Haute, having been a resident of this city just half a century, continuously in the drug business, to which he gavo i«is constant attention, and kept Ills uniuo ever on the honored list of tradesman. He was seventy three years of ago, but regular habits and correct living caused him to pass for a man in the fifties. He married in 1840 Miss Matilda Wood, who survives him, together with a daughter, Mrs, Jas. F. Gookins. and three sons, George W., MeU and Max. The funeral services were largely attended on Tuesday.

While the Ringgold Band was playing at the Owensbojo, Ky., fair last week, where, by the way they have a contract to play annually for one hundred years, they received from Philadelphia a full set of handsome new uniforms, a gift fiom our citizens. To W. H. Scudder belongs the credit of starting tho movement, and soliciting the subscriptions, some |400, for tho payment of the same. The clothes were made in Philadelphia, the order being sent through Philip Schloss, who took the-measure of each msn. There is nothing flashy in th$ in tho style, but they are neat and comfortable, and made of excellent goods. The Ringgolds deserved this gift, and they needed It.

Charles McCray, the well known railroad man, for years the assistant yard master of tho Vandalia, was found dead in a box car near the Holy technic on Sunday morning, and as yet the cause ^f his death is an impenetrable mystery.

The theory of suicide, hold by many, soems utterly out of tho question when his skull was crushed in and two pistol balls had been flrod Into his brain. Physicians declare that either of the three wounds would have caused death. While I here are some things connected with McCray *s actions pointing to suicide, the physical impossibility of a man inflicting such injuries upon himself, the blood marks on tho ground and on the ties near tho car, tho mark on a car of a mans hand evidently wiping blood from tho same, all go to show that Charley McCray was foully murdered by being first knocked in the head while on tho the ground, his body placed in the car, and then to 'make sure of tho deadly work, two pistol shots were fired into his head.

The March for natural gas here is getting to be a monotonous failure. Perhaps not one person In a hundred yet has any hope that Terre Haute is to be supplied with tho natural fuel. How ever we are not alone in the disappoint menu Where one place is fortunate enough to find It fifty fail to do so. Down at Sullivan thoy thought they were in Trenton rock bat this week learned that they had found a limestone, according to tho best Information 1,000 feet, which they would have to pass through and then go through 300 feet of slate before there would be hope of fiuding Trenton rock, under which alone ia the fuel found. Vincennes had the same experience. So did Craw fords vi lie, but the the company at the latter place are so confident that the hard aubetance the drills have reached is Trenton rock that they have sent for nitro-glycerine to shoot the well. So it to that the hope that overcome* all things lingers with each company and though one well ia abandoned other* are aunk In the effbrt to find what pefftapa i» not to be found in the Wabash valley.

The "Chautauqua Lyceum" has had a splendid run In the s*Je of reserve seats, a majority of the seats on fir*t floor being already taken. Those wanting good •eats should aecure them atonoe, at Central Book Store. A word to the wtoe to sufficient.

The Express by continual hammering away has at last compelled the police to give some attention to the gamblers. Last Saturday night a representative of that paper visited the principal gambling houses, and on Sunday morning the Express stated:

Over Faslg'ssaloon he found a room filled with men. The door was open. Anyone could enter, Joe (tassel was dealing faro with a table well filled with players. Joe Madlgan was throwing the dice at the hazard table and Phil Lahr was taming the roulette wheeL

Over the Tnrf Exchange there was a game of faro, John Arbuckle dealing. Here there Is a roulette wheel, but last night there were no players.

Over Councilman Hybargert saloon a game of faro was being dealt by George Landea. Here there was no game of roulette or hazarff. The tools were present in the room, however.

This was certainly sufficiently specific to reveal the lairs of the tiger and to show the falsity of the oft repeated statement of the police that public gambling was not carried on. The result was that on Monday night, Capt. Vandever, being on the sick list, Sergeant Dwyer was placed in charge and he made a tour of the places where gambling was supposed to be carried on, including the Fort Harrison and Terre Haute Club rooms. Of course, the professionals had been sufficiently warned and no gambling was found in the houses named by the Express. But at the Terre Haute club room six gentlemen were found playing poker and these were arrested. They gave fictitious names- and bond for appearance before K»q.

If further gambling has been going on this week, the players have been very careful to "pull down the blinds." Public gambling can and should be suppressed. It has been shown this week that a little honest effort on the part of the police may accomplish this

NA YLOR'8 OPERA HOUSE.

This evening, Oliver Doud Byron supported by Kate Byron and an unusually strong company, will occupy the opera house, presenting the powerful romantic drama, "Inside Track,"* with a most beautiful love story, the delight of the ladies, and the most thrilling and realistic fire scene ever introduced. The Boston Herald says:—"The piece is one of the most stirring and exciting which Mr. Bryon has made popular."

The opera house will be in the hands of the Chautauqua Lyceum all next week from Monday until Friday evening, and an interesting and profitable season is anticipated.

Facts Worth Remembering. Notwithstanding the bitter fight made against the Phenix Insurance Company of Brooklyn, it has gone steadily on and during the month of August the premiums in this State alone showed again of seventy per cent, over the corresponding month of 1886, and September was nearly as well. This will apply generally to nearly all the territory where the company does business.

The insuring public are fully satisfied with the indemnity furnished by a company having nearly Five and a half Million assets with a history of Thirty-five Years without a blemish, during which time it has paid THIRTY MILLIONS for losses.

For policies in this company call on Riddle, Hamilton A Co., localagents^feiR Bgeo&so, Ir«tngR3d^Bi Stste Ag«fiv Terre Haute, Ind.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success. This.isan old expression, but a truck one. Morchants who go into extensive enterprises in one particular line and treat the public fairly, handle nothing but what they can recommend, and sell it for a reasonable price never fail to build up and leave a monument of pros* perity at their death. One of the' most successful boot and shoe merchants in this city is T. J. Griffith, who has built up a gigantic trade through hit fair dealings. Mr. Griffith is one of our best Citizens, honorable in his business, and keeps nothing but the best stock of boots and shoes at his place of business, No. 82 south Fourth street.
