The new illustrated Torre Haute, just issued by .lames P. MeKinney from the press of Moore A* l«augen, in lu many respects a neat, ntul oxoellout little book. Its object Is, 'of eur«, evident from the tirst page to the la«*t, that Is the combination of desire to boom the city and also make money for Mr. MeKinney. But no attempt was made to conceal either feature of tue enterprise, and as the little volume appears it will undoubtedly do good in advertising the advantages of the city. Typographically it is very pretty, and also seems to be quite judiciously edited.

Leonard Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ryan, deceased, became involved in a quarrel over wages with a farmer named Eaton, for whom he was working out in Kansas, nine weeks ago, and Eaton struck him several blows over the bead, fracturing his skull.

Alfred Post, a well-known horseman hailing from Chicago, who has been here a month or more with a string of blooded animals, was arrested Monday on a telegram from Chicago, charging him with the om beast lenient of ^1,000. The charge is preferred by Chicago attorneys for whom he sold horses and failed to iteeount. Post refused to leave without requisition, and this Detective Woods is now engaged in securing. In the meantime the prisoner Is taking his ineals at the Terre Haute house and looping at headquarters, a very delightful way of spending prison life one would say. An eflort was made to compromise the case, but the injured attorneys will only be appeased »when Post Is landed In the penitentiary, at least so they say. Later—Thursday afternoon the requisition papers arrived, but Post's attorneys secured a hearing before Judge Mack on legal grounds *ud were so successful in urging their points that at the final hearing yesterday morning Post was released. He is till in the city.
The Republican convention on Saturday afternoon developed a number of surprises. One was the unexpected arrangement of the division of offices between the city and county, Tne general belief was that the auditor would be a city man and the sheriff an outsider, but in the convention the order was exactly reversed. 1* was also thought the race for the circuit judgeship would be closer, and that Dave Henry would pull out ahead. Instead S. C, Stimson came out ahead. The longest fight was for auditor, six ballots being necessary to name the candidate. For sheriff four ballots ere required and for surveyor five. The following is the complete ticket as nominated

So far as known only one accident of any consequence happened on the Fourth, and John Foster, of the I. A St. L. freight honse, was the unlucky victim in this. On Thursday evening a premature celebration was being in dulged in at August Wegner's place, and a sky-rocket was being lighted just as Foster joined the enthusiasts. Thinking the sky-rocket to be a roman-can-dle, he recklessly picked it up and whirled ifraround his head. The rocket exploded and badly mutilated his hand. Medical aid was summoned and the wounds were dressed. It is thought amputation will not be necessary.

Mark Twain Serious.
Mark Twain, in a current periodical,
says: "If I were required to guess, oflfv®, A, hand and without collusion with higher
minds, what is the bottom cause of the
amazing material and intellectual ad
vancement of the last fifty years, I
should guess that it was the modern-
bprn and previously non-existent dis
position on the part of men to believe
that it new idea can have value.
With the long roll of the mighty
names of history present in our minds
we ate not privileged to doubt that for
the last twenty or thirty centuries every
oonspicuous civilization in the world
did produce intellects able to invent and
create the things which make our day a
wonder perhaps we may be justified in
inferring, then, that the reason they did
not do it was that, the public reverence
for old ideas and hostility to new ones,
^lways stood in their way and was a
wall they could not break down nor
climb over."
What will you do, dear reader?
Will you refuse to "believe that anew
ideft can have value"?
Or are you, as Paul found the Athen
ians, living on Mars hill, and ready to
investigate?
You know us, and know that we
would not dare offer a cheap imitation,
pretending that it was a faithful and
unabridged reproduction of the great
and last Britannica.
There are only a few of you who yet
hold out against this phenomenal offer.
Scores who are just as goodJudges of
books as any in the place, have begun
aud will secure the full work.
How can snch a revolution in prices
be accomplished? It is the old story of
the sewing machine vs. the needle, the
Goodyear welt sewer vs. the cobbler, the
twine binder vs. the sickle, the Hun
garian roller mill vs. the French buhr
stones.
Are they inferior to what "went be
fore? They are the new ideas with Value
in them. Here is a new-idea book.
While the hope of profit actuates onr
words, yet really you are doing your
selves a great barm by not securing the
prize.
