TERRE HAUTE. JULY, 25, 1891.

&£&W5*r SERIAL STORY. The Mail is making preparations to furbish its readers with a new aerial story which will be of absorbing interest to all. It will be continued through probably si* months of the paper, and no one who commences It will want to stop until the tale Is completed. The story is not only interesting, bat full of excitement, and is well illustrated. The plot is a good one, rather highly colored, but by no means improbable, as the introduction will explain. It is a story which every person should read, and if you want to commence with the first f: you should subscribe for the paper without delay.

of the murder of her husband In England some years ago, recently sued an inauranoe association fh receive $10,000 which she held on his life. Of course she lost S^§' the suit, but It is evident that her imprisoument has not impaired the quality of her gall.

IT was telegraphed from England tills week that Henry M. Stanley and wife had already become tired of married life and have separated. There is probably no more truth in the story than has been in many other stories of recent dates from the same source. The American newspaper linr has been losing prestige of late at the hands gl his English brother.

A COMPANY has been formed in Kansas City to furnish the Inhabitants of that burg with cold fresh air, As Kansas City is just, across the line from Kansas it has alwaysbeen the impression that the boMJisy state furnished it more fresh air than was really necessary. However there is no truth in the report that the new company is going to lay pipe® to Chicago.

Arrsn all it seems that Matthew Stanley Quay Is going to resign the ehairmanahip of the Republican National executive committee. He elected Harrison In ISSt?, hut the latter never seems to have fully appelated the favor done him, and Quay seems to have been sorry far it ever since* The fine Italian hand of the Pennsylvania senator will be missed in the next campaign.

Rim gold finds were reported this week in Washington, near Ellens burg, and the rash to the spot promisee to be enormous. The cry of gold is a magnet which attack* the entire floating population of the western country, who are always ready to run anywhere where finds are reported. In ninety-nine eases out of every hundred they are disappointed, but never discouraged. The next cry always finds them ready to move again.

As eminent Philadelphia physician says that the world will soon hear from Prof. Koch again, who will make an important scientific revelation which will prove that be is on the right road toward a cure for consumption. The last time the world heard from the eminent German it didn't derive much benefit from the information, but if he has anything new to impart the world is always ready to listen and to learn—except that portion of Uncalled the medical fraternity.

THB Befievoient and Protective Order of Elks in Lockport, N. Y,, is no more. An entertainment to «6me traveling actresses resulted in a scandal. The married women went after scalps, and those whose husbands were members made them quit, while the others wouldn't let their husbands join. As bachelors were scarce the organization yielded up the ghost. If this thing of married women interfering is allowed to continue the usefulness of the lodge will be seriously impaired.

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, opposes the nomination of Cleveland next year, because of the stand, the latter has taken on the sliver question. The senator says the Democratic party is committed to the remonetization of silver and its free coinage. There are other Democrats again who emphatically deny this, and would willingly drive silver coin out of existence. This is the rock on which they split, and when the national convention strikes it there will be a wide difference found in the views of delegates.

THR London Tim

OH,

which is the lead­

ing authority on all matters English, summarizes the crop prospect of the world for this year as follows: *'In Russia there is a grave deficit. The peasantry is starving, and there is small hope of relief. In India there is, also, serious anxiety A famine prevails over a considerable portion of the country. Madras Rajputanna and the Punjab are the worst sufferers. There is drought in Bengal, and the need of more rain is urgent. Bombay, alone, promises a good harvest. The American harvest will be good in quality and amount but, with the failure of the Indian and Russian supplies, itr is of the utmost importance that tLe English crop shall not be short. The prospeot, on the whole, is good. In the chief wheat counties—Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk —the crop is above the average, and in other counties up to the average. The harvest will be late, and prices will be high. There is, therefore, a good outlook for the English farmer to break the long series of disasterous years." This summary is intended to cheer the English Barmor with the assurance that if his eropa are good they will command high prices this year, and at the'sJShe time it gives the same assurance to the American farmer. This year the only European countries—France and Russia—that export grain will have to buy it, as will also England, and they look to this oountry for the supply. It is true the wheat crop of the United States this year is the largest ever known, but the foreign demand will take it all, and the farmer need have no fear that the price will be low.

SAME JSVJBR WHERE.

Prohibition is about the same everywhere, and wherever it lias been tried the result has been practically the same. In Maine the grog shop flourishes, and In her cities drunkenness is as common as it is in ungodly New York. In Kansas the druggist disguises the saloon with a set of drug store fixtures and a prescription case, but it has remained for prohibition Iowa to run the saloon in ail Its unadorned naturalness, in open defiance Of t|ie prohibitory law and the prohibition element of the state. In Oitumwa, a city oi about 20,000 Inhabitants, there are no less than 235 places where all kinds of liquor are sold open and abofe board. Of one of these "gilded palaces of sin," the State Register says: "The saloon is ott one of the principal street#. It is finished in solid marble and mahogany* and the bar alone is said to represent an investment of $10,000," In Iowa the sale of liquor is prohibited entirely in Indiana it isn't, and in Terre Haute, a city nearly twice as large as Ottiiinwa, and where license is readily obtained, there are less than 160 saloons in operation. The wide open plan in Indiana is bad enough but in Iowa it seems to be much worse under prohibition. In Terre Haute the 110 licensed saloons contribute $27,500 toward the support of thedty, while the235 saloons In Ottumwa pay nothing. The state campaign this year is being carried on largely on the prohibition issue, and if the Democrats carry the day they will wipe prohibition from the statute books and give the saloons an opportunity to contribute something to the support of fhestat*..

**TBKNEW CITY.

In

another column will be found the full text of an ordinance redisricting the city and creating four new wards, making a total of ten warda, and twenty councilmen. The law authorizing the change was one of the political measures passed

Democratic legisla­

ture. The sections bearing directly on the case are as follows: SEC,1. That the common «un^L ot all cities In the state* *®l,8lL^te

the

power and are hereby Invested wiui the authority to divide the said cities into "yards, tOcbstncv iuC boundaries of existing wards, and to redistrlct the cities for ward purposes whenever In

jodgment It shall be deem­

ed expedient so to do. Such wards shall contain as nearly as possible an^equal number of voters, ana be composed of compact ana contiguous territory: Provided, howtyer. That no division into wards, or change of existing ward boundaries, or redisulctfng for wari purposes shall be made olteaer th&n once, in every period of ten (10) years.

A

SKC. 2. The common council of sata cities shall upon doing any of the acts or things In Bectlon 1. above enumerated, do so by ordl nance, and upon the doing of the same anall give notice of such action by at least-three publications, for three successive we«s, in two papers of opposite politics published in said city.

The proposed changes seem very fair, and neither party seems willing to claim any advantage under them. But this will not silence the party out of power, who cannot do the job to suit themselves, and in such a manner as would keep them in power for ten years to come, when they couid again make another deal to extend .their lease for another ten years.

It is urged against the change that the business of the council can be attended to just as well by twelve good men as it can be by twenty. But suppose that is true where are the twelve good men to be found who will give all their time and brains to the city for the paltry sum of $150 per year each? Every person knows that all the city work is done by committees, and every person at all conversant with city affairs also knows that of late years the business of the city has been increasing at such a rapid rate that the committees are away behind with their work, and have to neglect private business to attend to it. In this regard the city is like a merchant. When it starts in business as a town it transacts business through a board of trustees, and the merchant just beginning gets along with one clerk. But as business increases with prosperity so must the force which attends to it. The twelve members of the council are doing three or four times as much work as the same number performed sixteen years igo, and naturally they are growing weary" of it. Of course it may be said that there are many standing ready to take their places, but that is no argument in favor of good government and paying the laborer a fair recompense for his work. If the work or twenty men is intrusted to ten, and at a nominal sum, no good can be expected from it, but on the contrary it will encourage .bad work and dishonesty "X,-. \i§-

The London Times is the kindest critic yet of the Chicago Fair. Some memories of the late Mr. Baruum are perceptible in its prediction that the exhibitl^i^ll be the biggest show on record. Of coSrse, the Times does not hold such phraseology. It limits itself to saying that the Fair "will in many respects surpass all exhibitions previously held." But that is glory enough for Chicago, and Major Handy will no doubt be able to translate the sentence. After this if London doosn't get first call on floor space and free passes It will be plain that gratitude hath not her seat on the borders of Lake Michigan.

Thus far there has been a steacfy demand for real estate ail through the summer months, and the indications are that it will continue. Wm. M.
