TERKE HAUTE. JUNE, 6, 1891.

Ex-GOVERNOR J. P. ST. JOHN,of Kansas, denounces the new third party movement in unmeasured terms, which leads ita followers to have hopes for it.

THE new cruisers are devouring coal at sach a rate that the secretary of the nary has directed officers in command to practice the utmost economy in the use of fuel.

A ST. LOUIS man has purchased General Grant's old log cabin, and won't allow it to be exhibited at the •world's fair. When it comes to showing any favors to Chic -go money loses its lullurace in St. Louis.

THE railroads are already wondering •where they are going to get cars with which to move the wheat crop next fall, and mortageos are looking around for places to put the money they will soon receive for mortgages paid off.

SBNATOU QUAY is authority for the statement that Blaine can have the vote of the Pennsylvania delegation to the national convention if be wants it, no matter what President Harrison's course may be. There can be no doubt that Blaine

THE oxcutivo committee of the People's party will hold a meeting in St. Louis next Saturday to consider the advisability of nominating a ticket in Kentucky this year. AH no party would lose anything by such a movement Kentucky would be a good community in which to turn loose C. A. Power and kitidred spirits.

W HAT crop reports aro still of the most encouraging character from all portions of the country. Even drouth stricken Western Kansas reports plenty -of rain and flattering prospects. Add to this bad crops in Europe, and the American farmor will have money in abundance next fall, while the political reformer will have to go to work or starve.

CAHTKW HAKKWON,

THE

the Presidential preference of

live-sixths of his party to-day.

ex-mayor of Chi

cago, is writing a book. Usually this attorda great pleasure to an author's enemies, but in this instanco his enemios nro far from being In a hilarious mood. Carter Is a brainy man,,a ready writer, and has a thorough knowledge of people and thlugs political In bis bailiwick. If he will only tell a£i he knows it would bo very interesting reading matter.

BOTH of the old parties aro hitting the now political organization some pretty hard blows, from which it is to bo inferred that they are all afraid. They forget that tbo formation of new parties is a mania with the fellows who forcod the now aggregation upon the country that it Is impossible for them to stay long with any party, and that the present movement lias less to commend it than any of its predecessors.

KANSAS

Is killing the ohlnoa bug by

spreading artificially a contagious dlseme among them. The state university is propogatlng the diseased bugs, and asks the farmers to send in live ones in large numbers so that they oan be infected and aentout- to deal destruction among their fellows. Kansas is rich in resource^ and it is to be hoped they will reach'to the extent of killing all the bugs, oblnoh md others, thero are in the country.

THR depeest well in America Is near Wheeling, and Is being sunk tn search of oil or gat. It is over 4,100 feet in depth, and both ell and gas have been struck in payingqunutUies. It has gone through several thick veins of coal, and has traversed layer* of gold quarts, iron and numerous other minerals. The government has become Interested in it, and after it has reached the depth of a mile will take up the work, and under the direction of expert officers of the Geo'iogloal survey, will drill into the earth as far aa human skill oan penetrate. A record of the work will be kept and placed on exhibition at the World's Pair.

INDIANAI Ous, too, is having trouble with ita police force. It was only a short time ago that the capital city was held up before her sisters aa a bright and shining example of a strict enforce* mentof the law. But now comes the tale of woe that the town is fall of gamblers, that gambling ie carried on openly in the very heart of the olty, and that large sums of money are lost and won. It is admitted that the police force ie great on drees parade, but that when it comes to enforcement of the lawa it it ef no account. From all of this it would seem thai Terrs Haute ie not the only place in the state with cause to complain of ita poliee management.

Cnrnctt rows are not an every day occurence, bat when they do come they are always very IntereeUng to the oatside heathen. Take that one at Hamilton, Ontario, the other day, for instance, over the introduction of a aurplieed choir. The aaU-rtluaiiats objeetad and turned off the gas, leaving the others la possession and dark new#. Tsmperery

lights were procured, and then the water waa turned oft from the organ, rendering it unless. As the service proceeded without music by the choir it was furnished in the shape of cat calls and secular songb. The police were finally called in to umpire the game, which proceeded without farther interruption. It ie these little deviations from the paths of reotitude which gives zeetto religion and makes it attractive to those beyond its pale.

A senate committee is about to commence an investigatien of the late Indian troubles. A* the Indians cannot tell the truth the proceedings will be a farce, a waste of time on the part of the committee, and a useless and unnecessary expenditure on the part of the government. The Indians should he taken from their reservations and scattered among civilized people where they conld work for themselves or starve. The country at large has taken teo much care of them already.

government is going to spend

99,000 this summer in experiments on the artificial production of rain. The first of these will be made in Western Kansas next month under the direction of Col. Dyrenfurth, of Waahington. Balloons are to be filled with hydrogen and oxygen gas, sent up and exploded by a steel wire attached to the balloons and connected with an electrical apparatus on the ground. This idea is favored by many because the concussion will be greater, and the balloons will be aided in their work by the explosion of dynamite on the ground. It is asserted that rain has been produced by concussion, but these assertions probably belong te the same category as the story that the bodies of drowned persons can be brought to the surface of the water by firing cannon near the spot where they sank.

THE National Editorial Association meets in 8t. Paul, Minnesota, on July 14th-17th, 1891. Thecapltal of the North Star State is a delightful place for a summer meeting, and the fraternity has the promise of being handsomely cared for. St. Paul and its neighbor, Minneapolis, are wonderful outgrowths of the marvelous development of the northwest. There are many pretty resorts around these twin giants. The most attractive, perhaps, is Lake Minnetonka, reached via the Great Northwestern Railway, with four tracks between the two cities, crossing the Mississippi River at Minneapolis on a half million dollar stone aVch bridge In full sight of the Falls of St. Anthony and the largest flouring mills in the world, and thence through beautiful suburban plaoes to Minnetonka Beach and Hotel Lafayette, the largest and finest summer resort hostelry in the northwest. The hotel building is over a fifth of a uillo in length, and contains nearly five acres of floor surface. Every window faces the lake. AU the comforts and accessories kn6wri to good living and modern life are provided. It is under the management, for the ninth year, of Eugene Mehl, of the Ryan, of St. Paul.

CHEAP TOURS FOR WOMEN. A. number of Boston philanthropists has formed an association which calls itself the Women's Euglish Rest Tour association. It is not an assessment oompany, nor has it been organized to put money in the pockets of the members, but simply to tell people bow thoy may summer in Eugland, who have had an idea all their lives that auch a luxury would never come within their reach. The plan proposed has'the advantage over the ''personally conducted" tourist parties in that It Is inexpensive and the women are not rushed through on any shedule time regardless of comfort or their ability to stand it. They can stop at any point they please and remain as loag as they choose. These whose Idea of a holiday is a leisurely saunter through a dozen old English towns, or a restful settling down to spend the summer in some ebarraing old world spot can carry It out to their heart's content. Within a very few years many women of moderate means have demonstrated the fact that traveling alone is not difficult, nor need it he expensive. Several who have lately tried the experiment to their own satisfaction have felt that many other women would take advantage of the rest and inspiration found in such a trip, if they but realized how cheaply, comfortably and safely it could be accomplished. They have, therefore, formed theraselyes into this association for the purpose of helping others with the result of their experienoe. With this object in view a pamphlet baa been issued which contains advice of ail sorts likely to be useful tn that elaas of traveler* ii is intended to benefit, giving ratee on all steamship linee, hints as to traveling, fees, ways and manners abroad, estimates of expenses, suitable clothing, etc., and also containing a list of lodgings, boarding-houses and small inns, to aay of which it ie safe and proper for a woman to go, and where ahe will find cleanliness and oourtesy at a much lower prioe than ahe must pay at the hotels. Boston soheol teacher recently spent a delightful vacation in England and Scotland at the follewing ®o*t: Plunge, round trip .......... .1130 00 Steamer teas ..... ...... ..... 10 00 Fifty day* on land (W per day). .... 1» 00 Incidental* (photographs, •««.) .... 00

Total .«&» This was accomplished exercising a carefal economy, though the expenses conld be eat ev«n lower by avoiding lens and remaining locg-ar In one place. Of course the expense wouM be greeier to a person living In thte portion ef the country, to the extent of railroad fare to t&e coast, bat enough hi shown to demonstrate that a trip to Emope need not euet more than an ordinary vacation of short deration ateomeeanuner resort, and Is within the reach of all.

TOWNSHIP ASSESSMENTS Up to last night only- five township assessors had made their returns to the county auditor, and they are as follows:

This leaves Prairietiou behind last year's figures, Otter Creek about $150,000 ahead, Linton §30,000 short, Lost Creek nearly §37,000 ahead and Riley about $2(5,Of.O ahead. The railroad and telegraph assessment is made by the state board, and will be returned to the county auditor in about a month.

NEXT WEDNESDAY.

THAT IS TH3 DAY THE GREAT JOHN ROBINSON SHOW COMES TO TEItRE HAUTE. THE WONDERFUL

SPECTACLE OF SOLOMON

Next Wednesday John Robinson's ten big combined shows will exhibit in Terre Haute, giving two performances at 2 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. At 10 in the morning a great parade will be given showing the wonderful resourses of this vast organization. It is safe to say that this will be the only opportunity our people will have to see a really big show during the present year. An indirect announcement is being made of some show coming soon, yet it is a positive fact that no arrangements have been made for transportation or for advertising said show, and no date has been fixed for its coming. Of the John Robinson show which appears next Wednesday we clip tbo following from the Louisville Courier* Journal of June 2, 1891. ,7

The name of old John Robinson usSd to be one to conjure with in the circus world and his sons are not falling behind their father in the matter of furnishing this ever green form of amusement. It Ts sixteen vears since John Robinson's show was In Louisville, and the huge combination which pitched its tents here yesterday with its multiple departments aud its vario and attractive novelties is a fit illustration of the tendency in all thmgs modern to immensity. Sixteen years ago the best newspapers were compact aflalrs, containing four pagoe, and absolutely without illustration. No\? they are commonly from twelve to thirty pages, and are veritable picture books. So the circus has kept pace, and enough entertainment Is furnished hy the John H&binsonshow, which if oaeof the largest, to employ a visitor's time half a day. The street pageant, which was given in the forenoon, was a very handsome one. It was headed by a gorgeous chariot containing the band and drawn by four proud prancing black horses. Following tills came the lady riders, thirty in number, two by two then a doxen chariots of various descriptions, ahd behind these eight or ten more lady riders, each one of whom was a picture of easy and graceful horsewomanshtp. Then came the open cages of animals, a dozen or more in number, with many others whose inmate* were not exposed. The rear of the march was brought up by ponies and diminutive Chariots, at most wl thou number. The doors of the extensive tents were opened for the first performance at 1 o'clock In the afternoon, and by 3 the crowd covered the seats comfortably, for it was distressingly hot. The chief strength Of the Robinson show lies in its exhlbMon. The menagerie is not especially large, but the animals are good specimens, well kept. The giraffe is a One hearty looking fellow, and said to be the onlylivlOK one In America outside the ccological gardens. Much Interest also centered around the cage of the leopardess, who kept one eye oavagety on the public and the other longingly on two leopard cubs about the site of large cats. Like the lion and the tiger, the loepard rarely produces Its young on this continent.

Inside the big tent and satisfactorily seated, a bewildering array of "acta" of all sorts present themselves for consideration. The most Imposing as well as attractive feature is of course the grand spectacle representing scenes from the life *f King Solomon, fir this performance those wonderfully striking Incidents which are portrayed in Biblical history in such striking sAd perspicuous language ate made more vivid ana reel, if possible The first seeae shows the Temple as it is believed to have existed, the Temple walla, the Holy City aad the surrounding landscape, all of which is Minted with adelltf to the subject. One sufficiently interested and attentive can gain from the picture a distinct, definite conception of the places so highly revered by all, yet ordinarily the subject of very dim impressions. The canvass Is probably one hnndied feet long, a&d the eflfeet very natural. At the beginning the inhabitants sore seen going to and leaving the city, his people, trading his wives, the high Pftesfs. the Scribes, Jews and Jewesses. The occurence which so singularly developed the wisdom of the great King isnCxt reproduced. Although in pantomime, It is very dramatic and tenily impressive. K«n the ptoach of the Queen Shebals annoancand the King, with a numerous and guttering retinae, goes out to meet her end escort her to a waton the throne. When she

has been fittingly received and brought into the Temple, the women dance before her. and this serves to introduce a targe and splendidly equipped ballet. It Is under the direction of Mr. Chas. Constantino, a skillful and accomplished master, and the various evolutions of the dancers are beautifully perperformed. Soon under the brilliant rays of the calcium lights at night, the scene is very pretty and Inspiring.

The ring performances were of an unusually high standard. There are fifteen acts, during which a performance is taking place in each of the three rings. The equestrian acts, which compose a large part of the programme, were especially good. The riders, both men and women, performed all the more difficult feats in connection with bareback riding, and did them without mistakes or failures. Miss Louise UeMott, Miss Mamie Forepaugh and Miss Belle Reed were especially perfect. Miss Josie DeMott, who Is one of the most daring and accomplished riders in the world, was not present, being detained in Cincinnati by illness, but her sister and ber assiciates left little to be desired. One of the new things In the acrobatic way was the revolving wheel, to which Prof. Nolln attached his feet and made revolutions In mid air unprotected by a net. All the other acts were good of their kind. The closing part of the entertainment consisted of numerous comical as well as exciting races on the hippodrome track. A big crowd was present at the night performance, and the tents will doubtless be crowded to-day.

Columbia Springs.

N. Katzenbach, proprietor of the famous Columbia Springs, at Greenup, Illinois, notifies all churches, Sunday schools, lodges and other organizations that they are at liberty to use the attractive and shady grounds at the springs free of charge. Arrangements can be made with the Vandalia road for excursion trains. All Mr. Katzenbach desires is to be notified that picnic parties desire to use the grounds. This can be done in pei^on or by letter. No finer place for picnics can be found anywhere. It is forty miles west of Terre Haute on the Yandalia road. Yisltors can have all the benefits from tbe celebrated mineral water
