Our people are not socialists, but we will wager a pancake that Terre Haute is in the front rank of Western towns for social and secret societies.

The gentlemen who brought Mr Charles Dickens here, lost money by tne venture, and in this we have added evidence that Terre Haute is not a lecture town.

It is of a mild form,

The first local note of the coming campaign was the meeting of tho Lincoln club last night at It* room over tho Adams Kx press otllce. Thorn was a discussion of the |xlitical outlook and next Tuesday evening was fixed as tho tirst regular meeting.

That was a good sensation worked up over the measles at Rockville. It has created a decided feeling of anxiety among parents and had a nicely demoralizing effect on the schools. The board of health should of course do all in its power to protect the city from such epidemics, but considering all the hue and cry and talk over the visit of the home teachers to the Rockville institute one is in a quandary whether the measles themselves would not have been the lesser evil,

Mr. Fairbanks says the distillery is in the trust. Operations have already resumed and the mills ofr £he devil begins to grind. There will need to be .several additional men in the revenue service owing to the increased output and Collector Manson is having a nice quiet time of it. Gfroerer, who got into the service because he had a German news paper, is now out because he no longer has a German newspaper and his place is to be filled by some one who can render quid pro quo to the party.

It has been along time between steamers on the Wabash this year so that during the past week the whistle of arriv ing and departing boats sounded as strange as it would to the ear of the ranchman on the boundless plains. It may be said that one season of navigation has been lost owing to the drought. The river fell to a lower stage of channel and remained unnavigable for a longer time than the memory of man recalls in the past. The rains of a week ago restored navigation and boatmen are nowmaking the most of it

The price of block coal was advanced yesterday to |3.00 a ton, At this time last year it sold for |2.35 a, ton. It is a great year for the people in the coal bus inoss, especially those directly engaged in getting the black stuft out ofthe earth. The operators and miners are both snaking more money this year than ever be fore. The miners' wages have been raised several times, but the operators' profit has more than kept up with the increased cost of mining, by reason of cheaper freight and higher price for the coal. This satisfactory condition of the mining industry may be said to be largely attributuble to the workings of the arbitration policy of the federation of Miners and Operators organization that came into existence about a year ago. Since then there have been no strikes and all disputed points have been satisfactorily desposed of by arbitration Had there beon no such organization the present demand for coal would certainly have brought on a strike by which minors, operators and consumers would have suffered.

NA YLOR'S OPERA HOUSE.

The Criterion Opera Company, having been reinforced by some new talent, will close a week's engagement to-night by producing Gilbert A Sullivan's opera of "Iolanthe." The admispon prices are only 10, 20 and 30 cents.

On Monday evening the Shepper A Blakely Novelty and Comedy company, a vaudeville show, comes to Naylor's, presenting a pot-pourri Of fun by the following well-known people: Shepper and Blakely, negro dialectitians Hilda Thomas, Madame Ouitsh, from the Thea tre Royal, Berlin The Paynes, in their comedy and musical act the Inman sisters, in their jig and wing dancing Conroy and Dempsey, Moulton and Dashway, the athletic tourists the Semans, the world's greatest conjurers Tony Ryan, Wylie and Sandford, and George H. Woods, the comedian. The entertainment closes with a comedy in one act, entitled "Our Bess," introducing Miss Hilda Thomas and the entire company. Miss Thomas will sing her successful song, "When the Springtime Flowers Bloom Again."

What will unquestionably prove the greatest tragic event of the year, and the mo&t elaborate production of the legitimate drama ever seen in Terre Haute, will be the engagement at Naylor's Opera House on Tuesday evening next of the brilliant young tragedian Robert Downing, under the management of Joseph H. Mock, who was in the palmy days of J. H. Haverly, his general manager, and who brought out in this country on the occasion of its first production here, the famous English melo-drama, "The Silver King." Mr. Mack has been connected with many of the finest attractions known to the American stage, but none have been placed there upon such a scale as of magnificence, as has this elaborate production of "The Gladiator," the celebrated tragedy which was written by Dr. Bird, especially for the immortal Edwin Forrest. It is the only legitimate production that is now being presented with scenic effect, and over a car load of magnificent scenery, armors, costumes and properties are used in the presentation. Mr. Downing, who will make his first appearance here as Spartacus, is now, since the death of the lamented McCullough, the only purely heroic actor on the American stage. Aside from the Booth-Brrrett company a stroller attraction could not have possibly been secured, and it will prove one of the fashionable events of the season. The sale of seats opened this morning at Button's.

On Wednesday evening the Dalys "Vacation" company will come with their new comedy entitled "Upside Down." The Boston Beacon says it is the hit of the season, being funny to the last degree, and what is better yet—it is not altogether unreasonable. Of course a play for the Dalys must be more or less acrobatic and must be without more than momentary seriousness, and the theatre-goer knows how difficult it Is to make such a play without degenerating into coarseness and silliness. "Upside Down" steers a clever middle course. The text of the piece is bright, lively atid fresh and the stage business is filled with vastly clever tricks and gymnastics, the burlesque of a circus performance, the dissolution of a trick elephant, and the passage of a living victim through the jaws of a haycutter being tho best contrived and executed. The company, headed of course by the capablo Brothers Daly, Supports its leaders capitally and the dressing is handsome.

The Bennett-Moulton opera company will play a week here in February. It comes with those prime favorites,Smith, Bigelow and Miss Eising. The announcement gives great pleasure to our music and fun loving people.

It is now settled that the Booth-Bar-rett company will play here one night in April.

Hoberg's store will not open until 10 o'clock Monday morning owing to a grand transfoimation to take place. Ten more cash girls are wanted and a lively time expected. Perhaps another sale, that'll go on the records.

W. M. Slaughter's real estate business grows day by day: because he gives it his best attention. Just now he has somelbargains in vacant lots for sale on very small cash payments, with long time atfd very cheap. Drop in and see what he has to offer.

Buyers of Holiday Goods, should bear in mind that they can find a complete stock of novelties in Furniture, fce., at Foster's barpet and Furniture House. The second floor is devoted to novelties in Chairs.

"Royal" Absolutely Pure

•, The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical annlysis to be entirely free from lime, and absolutely pure, is the. Royal." This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes, which totally remove the tartrate of lime and? other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream' of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is usedi in no baking powder but the "Royal." (t

Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for^ the U. S.
