A CAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The residents of Paris, oar neighborling city, are happy In the belief that they too are to have oil. On Thursday strong

Indications of the desirable fluid were found in the gas well at a depth of about 2015 feet, indeed some oil ran into the bole and on being drawn out was found to be of a very excellent quality

Peoria railroad. He alleges that the company is responsible by reason of the passeuger train, which struck the street car he was driving on May 25th, not giving the proper signal.

The war between the resideuts of south Third street and the street railway company on the question of sprinkling tho streets, has Anally been compromised and happiness and enjoyment will be the result.

Tho

Tho census is going to demolish many fond hopes for tho Prairie City, lor Instance, It is going to disclose that we have only 32,W0 Inhabitants, a very considerable fall from tho figures city directories, school census, and so on, have given reason to bellovo would bo found. «But tlio enumeration is honest, s\far as all appearances go, and no complaint is to be made. The next thing is to explain why there has been such a woeful disappointment. At present It is sufficient to say that the current belief Is that the census ofv 188*0 was

The production of the Swell Aflair Tuesday evening was a success but1 that success it would have been had weather been cooler and had there not been a number of receptions that night. But as it was about $250 or §300 were cleared and this will make a very substantial addition to the Masonic Temple building fund. As for the play and iu» presentation, too much cannot b« said. All the participants did themselves proud, and competent critics delare this production to have surpassed the first two in point of excellence.

not the

fcuits are coming to the front

Hgnin, «nd as u*ual, the eity is included in the list of defendants. Lizzie Livington recently received injuries by falling through a hole In the sidewalk, at *26 Main street, and for this sho demands that the city shall pay'her $5,000 damages. Another suit for $5,000 has been tiled by Edward Torna against tho Terre llauie

company agrees to pay

•75 cents a week and tho residents along the line 25 cents each to have the entire width of tho street sprinkled. This puts an end to the difficulty In thoso squares where so much discussion has been going on so hotly. Tho compromise is a 'reasonable one and ought to recommend

Itself to suflerern on other streets.

Tho farmer's alliance has decided, so it seems, to take an aotlvo hand in the equalization of tho assessors' returns, and on Tuesday had a representative before the board to protest on the low value placed by Mr. IJairn on his Warren Park stock. According to the returns Ax toll, Jersey Wilkes and thirty•eight mares woie all roturned at $100, or •$4,000 in all. This low ostimate was contested and the result was Axtell was finally listed at $8,000 and Jorsey Wilkes at$3,000 while the mares were left at $100. This did net satisfy tho contestants, but was all the board would allow.

Tho pawn broker's ordinance wont ineffoct Wednesday, and sevon dealers took out tho required license paying the $10 freo without

a murmur.

It an

ticipated that strong objection would be raised to that foature requlrolng that a strict record be kept not only of all things bought and sold, but of all persons to whom and from whom articles are bought and sold. There was a rumor in u.reulutlon that this clause might lead to a suit testing the legality of the measure but this will not bo done. Insteud tho dealers will simply refuse, so it is said, to observe this feature of the ordinance. If they carry out this intention the ordinance will accomplish nothing Its whole object will be lost, iuul that this may not happen requires that tho city officials should see to a strict observance^

deny

that Terre Haute has gained

8 000 or «,000 Inhabitants since that time and If that is true we ought to have 86,•000. But if there has been a disappointtnont in one direction there has been a pleasant realisation hi another, and that is In tho line of real estate mortgages, etc Tho count has shown that a large per cent of families are living in their own houses, unencumbered by a mortgage, and this is a thing to be proud of.

The saloon keepers were not altogether unsuccessful in their oflort to delay the strict license ordinance. Indeed their first step in this direction has been to aceompUah what was hoped for the start—a temporary restraining order. ^Saturday evening about nine o'clock the attorneys for the Liquor Dealers association appeared before Judge Mack and asked for the restraining order. This was granted and July 3

The reception given by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Smith to John Talbot and bride on Thursday evening was a very delightful event. Quite a number of guests from a distance were present.

The thermometer has reached luu degrees several times this week, and it is strange that more cases of sunstroke have not resulted. Patrick Hogan, a well known ex-constable, was stricken and died from the effects Thursday night. He leaves a wife and one son.^

Christian chnrch will hold services in Naylor's opera house. Preaching by J. I. Brandt at 11 a. m. on "He Loved Me and Gave Himself for Me at 7:45 on "The Life of Peter." S. 8. at 9:30 a. m. Y. P. S. C. E. at 6:20 p. m. Everybody welcome.

The Asbury Epworth League of the Methodist Episcopal church will give a boat excursion down the river July 1st, leaving foot of Walnut street at 6*30 p. m. An excellent programme has been arranged consisting of music and recitations. Tickets can be secured at J. T. H. Miller's.

The formal opening of the Casino aaloou and restaurant took place Thurs? day eyening, and was truly a very swell affair. This would have been necessary to be in keeping with the elegant furnishings of the place, which sur-t^uusic, passes anything ever undertaken in the city. The outlay has been borne alone by Messrs. Sandison A Burns and has been heavy, but so much has been accomplished in making the place attractive that they feel repaid for tho expense. The Kinggold band was present at the opening and played a long programme of choice music.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Will Duncan, who so deeply sympathized with them in the lo^s of their baby not long ago, will be pained to hear of their other and only child lying dangerously ill in this city. When the little one died, the parents fearing: their other child might become a victim, sent her on here to Mrs. Courtner, Mrs. Duncan's mother, in charge of Ed Vandever, a week ago. When she arrived here she had begun compl&iuing and has gradually grown worse until they telegraphed for the parents. It is earnestly hoped the case may not prove fatal.

One of the best and most interesting services the Congregational 'church has ever had was that of last Sunday evening, and this excellence is all to be attributed to the young ladies and gentlemen of tho Y. P. S. C. IS., who occupied the time in giving their reports of the trip to the national convention of Y. P. S. C. E. held In St. Louis. It was the intention that the reports should be made bofore the Young People's society, bul the number and length of several prevented, and in consequence Rev. Cramgave wny in the regular evening service and they were delivered in the large ttaditorhtmi "A nttmiwr hud not propared written reports and responded to the pastor's call reluctantly- But their reluctance was certainly uncalled for, as the extemporaneous accounts of their trip they gave were so very good and so filled with enthusiasm that it seemed inappropriate that the speakers should havo hositated for an instant. They forgot themsolves and the congregation as the Incidents of the convention returned and spoke with splendid effect on the audience. Is was as one prominent member of the church remarked: "Our Young People's society Is not only educating a body of enthusiastic church workers but developing a class of orators as well." Those who made reports, written or otherwise, were Misses Grace Havens, Carrie Weinstein, Lucy Brokaw Hat-tie Paige, and Edgar Dick.

Tho question of Sunday observance is being agitated with considerable spirit in some of tho city churches, and tho discussion will likely result in material benefit if actions are to follow words. Several weeks ago Asbury church adopted resolutions calling on the council to enforce all the laws relating to Sunday closing, and these resolutions spoke the sentiment of the entire congregation. On Wednesday evening the question came up in tho prayer meeting of the First Congregational church, and although no united action was taken, very pronounced views on the subject were expressed. Nov. Crura partially defended his position, stating it is his intention to soon take up the question in a sermon. He believes in closing all places of business, not excepting, grocery stores, photograph galleries or news stands. He would also close the telegraph offices for all business purposes, although he would not condemn the use of the wires for humane purposes. He would permit the running of the milk wagons if that were neeossary to the health of children, and would not hesitate to buy other food oa Sunday if life depended on it. On the running of street cars, he agreed with the members of his church that for hauling people to and from Oollett park it wa% permissible. But he would not have special arrangements made for taking large crowds out to see a ball game. There was a decided difference of opinion on the propriety of going out to Oollett park on Sunday afternoon and listening to a brass band, bat he thought it proper If done In the right spirit. He was not sure that he would sanction the hiring of a hand by the city, but if there, was music at the park be would not criticise the people for listening. He did not deem it wrong ix take ft Sunday newspaper lor, in fact, he was a subscriber to one himself. The shortness of the meeting prevented gotag into elaborate details, but enough was said to clearly outline hi# views and they seemed to meet the of his hearers*

Everett White submitted to a severe operation yesterday afternoon which it was thought he could not recover, but he passed through it successfully and this morning was resting easy. Dr. Gerstmeyer says that unless blood poisoning sets in he will recover.

The commencement exercises at SU Marys on Wednesday were the fortyninth in the history of the institution. It is needless to say that they were interesting for all have attended such events, and nearly everyone in Terre Haute who has had that pleasure, know this to be true. This year the class was somewhat smaller than usual, only six young ladies being presented with diplomas and laurel wreaths. These were Miss Caroline Caffee, Alabama Miss Battle Hetfield. Normal, His., Miss Lottie Wright, Indianapolis Miss Bessie Hill, Sandburn, Ind. Miss Kate Tooney, Brookfield, Mo. Miss Anna Miller, Omaha, Neb. Each read essays and their "subjects were Miss Hetfield— "Life without Literature is Death:" Miss Miller—"Voices of the Past Miss Wright—"Lives of the Great and GoodMiss Caffee—"Literature of our Leisure Hours Miss HH1—"The Power of Poetic Numbers," and Miss Tooney—"Influence of" Religious jldeas on 'Literature." Other features of the commencement were the usual excellent both vocal and instrumental. The art display was large and b9autifulr showing great care and much ability in both teachers and pupils. The exercises were largely attended by friends and relatives of the graiuates, and also friends of under-graduates, living in this city.

Not Going1 to Move Baok. Many persons suppose Wright the photographer, will remove to his old stand when rebuilt, but he moved to stay, has taken along lease on the new place over Pixley and Co., put in a fine skylight, easy stairway and all modern conveniences, making a much better and more complete studio than the old one ever was, and having formed a partnership with George Holloway, formerly of Holloway fc Bucklnghaui will be pleased to see all their old friends and customers at their new gallery. Visitors always welcome.
