A Bystander's Opinion.

The Bystander'* diary of the saloon clotting agitation continues thus: On Tuesday evening the city council tried it# band at straightening out complications tbat have arisen—and to all present appearance* succeeded in solving all difficulties. The King ordinance, which as .'ts author once remarked in executive (ftnioo, was not an amendment to the utate statute on the subject of saloon closing, but merely

expression of liie

council's endorsement of tbat measure. was taken up and adopted. \es, adopted. The ballot resulted 6 to 5, and tbe men who bad the courage to vote an tbe consciences of all right tbinkiog men must surely dictate were Messrs. Burns, Oriswold, Hes*, King, Leinberger and ROUS. His honor, Mayor Danaldson, -was not given that opportunity to openly muiotmoe himself which a tie vote would have

afforded

(much to the regret

of many but as law and order won there is ilo reason to feel tbe least discomfit over tbe non-realization of every wish. In connection with the ordinance a petition one mile more or less in length was .presented »*klng for the closing of tbe saloons. On this were tbe names

three thousand women, about an equal number of business and laboring men, and over 700of the members of the young .people's christian societies of the city. To have disregarded such a monstrous petition would havo been a very serious insult to the better element of the city's {population. Then iu addition about forty ladles, representing tbe various •churches, attended the meeting, carrying their voluminous petition and adding dignity the occasion. It is said that for once his honor's order of "no smoking in the council chamber" was •observed. In all, greater pressure in favor of moral reform was brought to bear than has probably ever been known in this place of reputed (and, as it may bo privatoly whlspored, acknowledged) •degredatlon. According to tbe ordinance—otherwise known as theenpha«lz«d state law—all saloons will close promptly at midnight and on Sunday will romaln closed all day. It is hoped the police board in having been relieved of fulfilling Its duty, Is now happy that Supt. Davis sees bis way clearly to the •carrying out of orders, and that no violation of the new ordinance will undor any circumstances be tolerated.

Skule" given by the

order of the Eastorn Star was a great success. It could not have been otherwise, for the geography class alone made a hit worth the pr|ce of admission, when It failed llat on the question calling for the location of Bvausvllle. .Tust think I Not one pupil had ever heard of such a plaeo as Evansville. The audience was tickled from scalp to sole on this exhibition of brilliancy. -Then it was awfully funny to hear City Clerk Duddleston, somewhere around six feet two In height, recite "I'm Gettin' a M* Boy Now." The singing, the costum Ing, everything was qui to In keeping with tradition, and extremely ridiculous. nCho "Deestrlct Skule" must be given -italn.

In view of the great publicity given this week to tbe discovery and arrest of a procurer who came here to Impose on the community, these questions suggests themselves: Why is It necessary for l»?igltlmato nowspapers in a city the slue of Terre Haute to sacrifice columns of valuable space to the publication of mlnutost details of such demoralising happentngs? What youthful reader of this degrading literature can be otherwise than harmed by the publication? Is It possible that such sensational journalism Is requisite to financial success in the local newspsper business?

Tho metamorphosis In the county offices is now well under way, for one by one the old Incumbents are giving way to tbe new. Judge Mack no longer holds sway In the Circuit court mom, forjudge Taylor has asceuded to tbe throne. Likewise Doug. Weeks no longer toys with the keys of the sheriff's office, for Billy Stout has superceded htm there. And the same may be sa»d of James Piety with reference to tbe prosecutor's snug little office, for Carson Hamlll hss taken affairs of that department In hand. Such transformations as these not Infrequently occasion regret even though the new officials are In every way the equals of their predecessors, for personal association with the old men during their terms of office creates an Involuntary feeling that tbe change* should not in tbe natural order of affairs take place. When the retiring dlgnatoriea have proven good mon in their respective positions ibis feeling is strong. Tbe Bystander j*ws not hesitate to say that he regrets the expiration «f Judge Mack's term. As a (Hinscieuteous oHioisl he has Wfvwi tin* county welt. He has Iwti a terror rrimlna!#, an imnwt guardian of the in» of a careful upholder the law in every rewjwt, and practically frvtn political Thi« tnuoh be r!Aimed for himself in a brief fare«n!! .ii.! ««**, ami few will deny that he win making *uch a statement. He ha* at times been eccentric in hi* consideration of case*, and occsaimoojUIv inconsistent as well. But a judge Is not Inhuman, not proof against mistakes, and not of one opinion f»r all time. Hence it is that William Mack can reasonably be said to have mad# an excellent official. %x Sheriff I*«f

HISS®

Weeks was also a good officer, as his general popularity would go to show Mr. Piety was also a genial and well disposed prosecutor. He did not take a decided stand in enforcing State laws on tbe saloon question, etc., as a prosecutor could have taken, but he considered the general rpn of duties of his position carefully. His term was not marked by any conspicuous accomplishment from tbe fact tbat no cases of special importance were tried. He is a young man and has political opportunities before him so tbat he may hope for greater achievements in the future. Of tbe new incumbents in the offices, noth ing need be said as the campaign furnished each intelligent citizen with all the information concerning them that could be desired.

Annually tbe Ladies' Aid Society asks for donations from tbe generous people of the city for the worthy poor. To-day this customary appeal is made, and in behalf of tbe petition the Bystander bespeaks a liberal response. Consider care fully the degree of prosperity providence has bestowed upon you during the last year, and then send to the room the ladies have opened as large a donation as you can conscientiously make. Do not forget that while a bounteous Thanksgiving dinner is waiting for you, only a miserable meal is waiting for hundreds of others whom misfortune has visited in months gone by. Be open hearted in your giving for only those worthy of aid will receive the benefit of your generosity. Then do not wait until Thursday to make your donation, but go about it at once, for the earlier your present is in, the less work there will be for these noble ladies to do.

Judge Taylor will open tbe December term of the Circuit court Monday morning.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVUNXSTG MATT,

loy, a designing individual

who intended to lead young ladies of this city Into the service of disreputable persons elsewhere, came here last week and took rooms.

She is well although not favorably known in Chicago, Omaha, and other places.

It isn't very often that a Terre Haute newspaper man is compelled to defend himself against assault, and it isn't very often tbat be is whipped when so attack ed.

The real estate and rental business, as conducted in booming Western cities, is one in which fraud plays a far greater part. than-, honesty. This comes from the fact that agents, as a rule, are wholly unknown and extremely unreliable. In this city the business is conducted on an entirely different basis. Especially Is this true with W. M. Slaughter. He is so well and favorably known here that owners of property and tenants can trust him to the fullest extent to as faithfully guard their interests as he would his own. If you have real estate to buy or sell, or wish to rent property or secure a rental agent, call on him at 324 Ohio street.

We have everything to gain by selling on a small margin of profit. We could not fill our double room with the very best goods at lowest prices if we did not have our well-known factory and gigantic outlet by having branch stores in many of the leading cities of the country. We wouldn't have this glgantio outlet if \rs didn't give the public the full benefit of our peerless facilities. That's plain.
