For the past week or more both daily papers have been considerably exercised over large amonnts of money to be bet on the result of tbe presidential contest. The Democrats began by posting flOOO deposits, all of which were taken by Republicans. The wind was taken out of the sails of the Democratic betters by the Republicans posting money wbieb has not yet been covered. However, betting doos not carry an election nor is it a safe barometer to gauge the result. Tt is votes that count alter all.

An epidemic of typhoid fever has been raging of late in tbe neighborhood of Seeleyville, east of the city near the Clay county line. Quite a large number of cases are reported. Twelve o.- P*teen fatal cases have occured aDd more fatalities are feared. The disease *s in a very malignant fcrm and physicians find difficulty in treating it successfully. In several families there have been more than one death. The doctors are at a loss to explain the cause of the prevalence of the fever, which seeim to be conflnod to one locality.

The annual report of the State Normal board will be made to Gov. Gray on the 31st of this month, the fiscal year of the institution ending at that time. It is anticipated that the report will contain a great many interesting things in connection with the great fire. The report Is not now in condition to be made public, but is being worked upon. The first meeting of the board of trustees since June was held on Friday, but developed nothing out of the usual routine business. The work on the new building is progressing, but not so rapidly as the energetic citizen would desire. A great deal of the delay has been occasioned by the non-arrival of important iron work. Tho imposing aspect of the new structure is gradually beginning to shjw itself. ______________

There Is considerable disappointment expressed on the part of Democrats that tbe "Old Roman" is not to be brought to Terre Haute. It is asserted that Terre Haute is tbe Rome of the eighth congressional district and that all political highways lead to it, ergo, the noblest of them all, in tho eyes of the Democrats, should be brought here. Brar.il is more of a center of the mining districts but then Terre Haute claims sovereignty over this political province. One Democrat recalled the nominating convention at Brazil, saying it was a difficult matter for many of those in attendance to get anything to eat, he hotels and restaurants being crowded, lie offered as a suggestion to the faithful who will go to Brar.il, to provide a lunch and take it along in a red bandana.'

A stranger's impressions of a city is good or bad according to the suueess he has had In a business point of view. A gentleman from a distant city was here this week traveling over a well trodden path. As a result his success was limited. He abused the city for itsstupidity. He could see no good in the place, he thought it was way behind the times and could see no prospects of prosperity in tho future. He was informed of the great advantages of Terre Haute which have and will continue to give it prestige over sister cities. Even with such enlightenment on the subject he persisted in railing at the business interests.

What business are you inT" inquired a byatander. When he replied, he. was rered: "No wonder you can see no in Terre Haute. Your venture is ily too old for this city. The fault is not In the city it is yours. The city Is not behind the times, but you are decidedly so."

Judge Mack tried an interesting divorce CAse this week. The defendant was an old soldier drawing a pension. The wife alleged drunkeness as tbe grounds for dlvorefc The defend *nt was an old acquaintance of tbe court. "Now, look here, Mack," he would My, and the court and spectators took the discourtesy good natnredly. How about tbe candidates?" asked tbe court. "Have you seen them and are they treating liberally?" "To tell ibe truth, judge, said tbe defendant In reply, "I haven't struck a candidate since struck you, and that was four years ago." Tbe court room roared with laughter. One .of the attorneys in the case asked with what success he had met and he replied: "The judge waa In a buggy and stopped him." "What then?" Why the buggy drove on and the rest la between us."

The cemetery commissioners have decided to increase the price of lo^3 in Highland Lawn S3% pe? cent. On many of tbe avenues of the new c'ty of the dead tbe lots have been held at 15 ents per square foot but after December 1st. the price will be raised to 1*3 cents per foot.

A gentleman quite prominent in scientific circles is said to be at present engaged in what is undoubtedly a very interesting investigation—endeavoring to find how much energy is wasted in this city each day in wax-chewing. What the result will develop is unknown, but It has been approxlnately stated that tbe energy Involved would be sufficient to continuously run the local electric light plant should the wax chewing go on unabated. A great many things are no doubt taken into the calculation. Among them possibly: all things going to make up the force applied in each mptifioation the resistance offered by the wax the amount of energy consumed in revolving the tioifgue to keep tbe wax rolling the number of chews indulged in each minute the strength lost in that process so familiarly known as wax stretching, consisting in catching one half the luxury in the fingers and drawing it out into the atmosphere, where it collects particles of coal dust, etc., only for the sole delight of regatheriug it into the mouth the amount of time deuoted to chewing and so on indefinitely. Absolute accuracy In such a problem is one of the promises of a millemium, and he xealous gentleman who has undertaken the solution has the general sympathy.

Politics are gradually being merged tbe operation of the police board, it Is regretted tb announce. The first in stance of this which has become pablh' was the recent discharge of Office/ Hall on trumped up charges, his onU' real offense being the arrest and conriction of ex-Democratic councilman O'Soilivan for violation of the 11 o'clock liqutr law some months ago. During the fcst six months there has been quite adeal of gerrymandering with the polfce ordinance, but party leaders have generally attempted to secrete their scheming and have allowed the management of the force to assume a metropolitan non-par-tisan appearance. The political campaign seems, however, to bve given the party in control an opportunity to use the department for politick ends In anticipation of not being discovered in tbe shuffle of excitement. Tie heads of the department have even sanctioned open betting by tbe member^ of the force, it Is said, and no scruples are made of using party affiliations as* boost to duty on some occasions

and

on others. Officer H^ll may have violated the regulations tbe police department but there jure others grower and of more importance which are conveniently overlooked. But, tor all, It has been some llttb time tinea there waa a row among tbe follce force. The jealousies and quarrefe have not been paraded before the puttie for some time. Bat for occasional diadml an easy going eftlsen might forget or &U to realise that the city haa a poke

Lots are being disposed of rapidly and many of the chol« ones have been selected. Some of them are unnecessarily large, containing 2,000 square feet or more. A celebrated warrior in ancient times went out on a war of conquest saying all he wanted was six feet of earth to bury him. This idea was not followed in platting Highland lawn.

The county commissioners yes'srday visi fd Spiuage c-eek, ne.tr the Clay county ne in Clay ooonlv, for the pu»--poae of deciding upon the location of a bridge. Tbe Spiuoge ceek bot.oms are in Pierson township and cover quiiea large number of seciions of land. It is not generally known but Spin age creek has been an interesting study to sclen,ooc mer. The conclusion has been drawn that tbe ler-Uory, or more properly speaking, basin, was at some remote period a lake. J. T. Scovell was perhaps the firett tadvanoe this opinion. Other acieutists concur in tbe opinion. Tbe E. T. H. railroad passes soui a on a ridge. Near Pime'n there is a pol

line. From this the water flows in all direc. ions. Tbe soil of Piersoj township is aMnvial and would indicate that it had been deposited by waver. The study of he Sponge creek basin has been interesting, as are many others in Vigo county.
