Col. Cal Monroe has bad quarters iti the county jail several days this week for provoking another colored citizen to strike him.

The legend "keep ofT the grass" in the southwestern part of the court house square would be more appropriate if it read "keep out of the weeds."

Our Knights of Pythias go to Cincinnati Tuesday and we feel sure will bring hark some of tho prizes. They have their eyes "sot" on the first prize.

Matthew W. Seriam, one of tho oldest residents of this city, died last Monday afternoon In the eightieth year of his ago. He came to the villago of Terre Haute half a contury ago and for many years was one of the foromost merchants his family moving in and welcomed in the best of society and entertaining with the greatest elegancy of the day. Now he passes awav comparatively unknown because of his ecoentr lei ties, his aversion to society, for years seemingly only waiting the time to die. For this event he made every preparation. His monument has long stood in Woodlawn cem*trv, with name and date of birth chiseled thereon and sp*0® left for date of death. In

ISM

he had his coffin made

and |hns since kept it in his house. In accordance with his wishes he was buried in it. Not long ago he said to undertaker Ball: "It will not be long before *-ou can haul me up north. I want you ^to put handles on my coffin. It has got a little out of fask ion since I made it and

I don't want the pall-bearers to drop it." Wo said he wan comparatively unknown and yet his form was familiar as he went silently and morsely about the streets with long uncombed hair and iteard, drwwwd in the style of fifty years ago and in cold weather with a cloak or shawl about his shoulders—sadly in contrast with the old time elegant young merchant. __________________

Here's your warm weather at last, and the shady side of the street will be sought.

Mr. Loeb is always up with the time* in bring out the very latest styles of bats, and you will tind his good* fnm the best hatters.

As you pass t\ W. Merrtng's art establishment, 22 north Fourth street, look in tin" window and see the cutest picture out "for the safety of the public," then ifo inside and see a beautiful line of S«e*| Kngravtnirs Gil l^intings and Oleographs, which can be elegantly framed from his immense stvk of Moulding*.

Mothers of Terre Haute, don't let your daughters grow to womanhood without having them taught to do some one thing well. No matter what they have a taste for, singing or sewing, painting or carving, farming or plant raising, out-door work or in-door work, man's work or womans work, let them be thoroughly instructed in some kind of work then no changing fortune need bring them 10 want or dislet j*our girls grow up

thinking they have no home cares or responsibilities. If they leave all work and drudgery for you to do it is because you have allowed them to form such a Hunt and have not properly taught and trained them when they were entirely under your control. Girls are more ften thoughtless than selfish, and are iqtso mucn to blame as those who have foiled to instruct them. Impress upon their minds that when they get married it is to their advantage to buy all their table supplies constantly and regularly at E. R. Wright's White Front grocery store, where to-day yoa can get Spring Chickens, Cherries, Gooseberries, Strawberries, Pineapples. New Potatoes, New Peas, Oranges, Bananas, Lemons, New Maple |Syrup, New Maplo Sugar, Lettuc% Spinach, Radishes, Cucumbers, Beets,
