That is a pretty tough story thej have been telling on Ed Tetzel this week. He went out on Saturday and caught a line assortment of minnows preparatory to a big day's fishing on Sunday. When be sat down to breakfast in the morning before making a start his bait was served up in batter and fried to a turn. The humidity of the atmosphere in the immediate vicinity of the table did not prevent it from turning blue, nor did the explanation that the cook had made a mistake prevent that functionary's summary dismissal. Ed fished with liver last Sunday and was satisfied with a catch of catfish. ,4

Delegates representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, Swltchmon's Mutual Aid Association and Order of Railway Conductors met in Pittsburg, Pa., last Sunday and formed a federation, the object of which is mutual protection and aid, The Order of Railway Telegraphers was not repre Rented but they are to bo included In tho Federation at the next meeting, to be held In Pittsburg on Sunday, August 27. It was determinded that the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers will not be included in the Federation. At the next meeting the organisation will he completed and steps taken to prepare a constitution and by-laws. The report already published that the readjustment wages waft to be considered at last Sunday's meeting is a mistake. It is reliably stated that the question of wages will not be considered for several months, probably not a year.

Mrs. Isabelle Thompson died at her home, HSjBoutb First street, on Monday morning, Viged 71 years. She was a native of Irfbatid, and came to this country when v\j«p yyung, having been a resident of :»^is city forty years. Her husband, Alexander Thompson, who was murdered over twenty years ago, was well known to our older citizens. Mrs. Thompson leaves one daughter, M^s. Annie Cooper, and two sons, Robert and Thomas. An older son, James, died some time ago. She al^p leaves a sister, Mrs. Henry Glick, and a brother, Robert Barr, of Philadelphia. The funeral took place Wednesday, and the interment was in Woodlawn. ^,,

Fourth under Col. George W. GundeV, of Marion. The artillery regiment is commanded by Capt. James B. Curtis, of Indianapolis. In all there are fortysix companies here, of which five, accompanied by a band, are from Indian* apolis.

Systematic drills will be held from day-light to dark of each day, and special attention will be givrfn to rifle practice. On Monday evening Governor Matthews will give a reception at the Terre Haute, and on Tuesday will review the troops in parade. Otto Pfaffin has been appointed bugler for the camp.

premium list for the Twenty-
tural Society was issued this week. It will be held August 14 -18, inolusive, and ofters many attractions. The feature this year will be the races, of which there will be 11 stake races, with purses aggregating $10,000, 8 clats races for $2,400, and 4 consolation races for $1,600, making a total of 21 races for $20,000. These are the largest purses ever offered at a fair in the state, and with its famous 2:04 track, the fastest in the world, is sure .to draw a large attendance. But the races will not bo the only attraction. There will also be fine displays of farm implements, vehicles, manufactures, graiu, root crops, melons, vegetables, fruit, ilowers, cakes, preserves, jellies, jams, canned fruits, pickles, knitting, crochet work, laces, sewing, quilts, art and fancy work, paintings, drawings and children's work. Tho premiums in all the departments named are as large as they have been in other years, and the entries promise to be more numerous than ever before. The grounds aro the finest in the state, the buildings costing more than $50,000, and the fair ranks as the most successful in Indiana, a reputation which, will be sustained this year.
A gentleman just returned from Chicago to this city was asked which place was the cheaper to liye in? "Chicago," said he, "by great odds." Terre Haute is a pretty town and has some ad van tagos in society, schools, churches and other things, bui in the mattery of expense it is the dearest place in the country to live. Everything, except the one item of rent is cheaper in Chicago than in Terre Haute. You can buy fruit, butter, eggs, potatoes, turnips, cabbages and other things raised about this city cheaper in Chicago than here. The same is prehaps true of any town within a short distance of Chicago having direct railway connections. These towns are full of commission merchants who buy everything in the way of provisions as fast as it is brought in and ship to Chieigo. This creates a stringency in the local market aad prices go ap. In reali ty provisions are about the same price to the consumer here as in Chicago. But wearing apparel, shoes and household accessories, especially furniture are much cheaper in Chicago." The

The attorneys who have been authorized by the executive committe of the Republican State committee to bring a suit to test the constitutionality of the legislative apportionment enacted by the last Legislature say that thesuit will prot&biy be filed some time th!s month. Chairman Gowdy, of the State com mitte, has talked over the subject with the attorneys, and advised that the litigation be begun at once. A. W. Wishard, of Indianapolis, one of J,he attorneys in the casw has commenced to gather information on wl^ich to base the suit. The attorneys haye practically decided as to the county in which the suit shall be brought, but they decline to make public the name of the county at present. It is understood that the suit shall be brought before a Republican judge, and in a county where there are Republican officials. The county selected must also be one in which the terms of the officers extend beyond the next general election. The attorneys for the commltte hope to have the case tried in the lower court during the September term, and believe it will be possible to get a decision from the Supreme Court some time this fall.

The only sensation sent from Washington city this week was the announcement that Laura Moore had instituted proceedings for a divorce from her husband, E. L. N. Snyder. Miss Moore is a 'formerly of Terre Haute" girl, but latterly of the world at large as Franois Wilson's prima donna. She is a daughter of Mrs. S. E. Moore, who was for many years a teacher in the public schools. Her father was at one time superintendent ol the city schools and died in the army during the war. Years ago Mrs. Moore removed from the city, and some time after her death Miss Laura turned up in Paris, France, as ait opera singer of no mean pretensions, and later returned to this country. Her husband is a son of the multi-mil-lionaire president of the ^National Savings bank, of Washington, D.

They were introduced to each other in Washington in Ootober, 1891, by a mutual friend. Five weeks later young Snyder followed her to Chicago, proposed on the 15th of November, and they were married the same day. The marriage created a sensation, but the groom's father sent for them to go home, and they went. Soon after the marriage young Snyder's love began to cool, and of late he has been doing the dude act in New1 York city, his father having lost all interest in him, both parternal and financial. When he heard of the divorce he hid himself In a hotel, but finally accepted service. Miss Laura must be about thirty-five years old.
