It has been said that if it were not for the month of Augu9tlife would be fairly tolerable. Certain it is that March and August are peculiarly trying months upon poor human nature, and it is no wonder that people try every possible way to bridge over these disagreeable months by spending them in the most favorable atmosphere and surroundings. Consequently there is a great deal of summer travel, and people who do not like it in one plaoe pack up their traps and try another, so that there is a great deal of moving about. Travel is the occupation and the diversion of the hour, despite the talk of hard times and the principal part of it in this locality is to the World's Fair. If every locality in the country contributes as liberally to the crowd of sightseers as does Terre Haute and vicinity, the average attendance would be largely inoreased. Among those who visited the show this week were: Stephen 'Adair and family, Harry Llkert, Will Carney and wife, H. 0. Wright, A. D. MoDaniel and wife, Mrs. Anna R.Young, Miss Ida Ensey, A. Grafe and wife, Henry Katzenbaoh and wife, Miss Anna Sllinski, Mrs. Geo. P. Smith, Mrs. W. A. Green, Miss Edna Jones, T. H. Spioer and wife, Mrs. J. P. Leinberger and son, Chas. H. Goodwin and wife, M. N. Dial! and family, R. Andrew^ and wife, C. M. Smith and wife, MissL. Eva Alden, John Manion, wife and daughter, W. M. Lyons, wife and daughter, R. S. Jndd and family, J. M. Garrettson and family, Arthur Goldsmith, Henry Hudson, Jack Paige, Dr. Mail and wife.

The state board of tax commissioners have completed their assessment of the railroads for 1893, and the main line assessment of the majority of the roads in this county has been increased. This is of&et oy a decrease in the assessment for rolling stock. The following table shows the increase on the main line assessment, the roads marked thus having been reduoed: C. A Ind.

How

the

Intelligent British Voter Crom^^questions Candidates.

Harper^for September. There was aman with a blue neoktie. He was a most unpleasant gentleman^ and he rose to ask questions at irregular moments with a pertinacity of purpose and confident smile which no amount of howling on the part of the good Conservatives could dismay. "Mr. air," he would say, "I 'ave a question I would like to put to you, sir. Did you, sir, or did you not, vote for the Impecunious school-masters bill as presented on July 2, 18B0T" 'Now it was not at all likely that any of the Radicals present had ever heard of this bill before, or cared two pence about it if they had, but they saw the fiendish purpose of the question, and they howled accordingly, a triumphant mocking howl, quite long and loud enough to drown any possible answer in case the candidate had one to make, and

sufficiently exasperating to make him forget it if he had. But the candidate would smile easily, and raise his hands imploringly for silence, and then turn his head over his shoulder with a«quick aside to his political agent, or to one of the other speakers, and whisper, fiercely, "Quick look it up, what bill does the ass mean and then smile encouragingly on the heckler, while the political agent would thumb over a speaker's hand book, and whisper back, hidden by the candidate's figure: "Introduced by Lord Charing, seconded by Paddlngton lost on second reading,

You

voted for It. It was a bill to subsidize county school-teachers." Then the candidate, who had probably been taking tea on the terrace when the bill was introduced, and who had voted with his party at the division, and returned in time to say, "Two lumps, please," would smile cheerfully, and ask the heckler if he would be so good as to repeat his question, which the heckler judged was a subterfuge.to gain time, and would repeat it in a more triumphantaod offensive manner than before. "Impecunious school-master bill? Oh yes," the candidate would say. "Introduced by Lord Charing, I believe. Oh yes, a very excellent bill: seconded, if I am not mistaken, by Mr. Padding ton," and then, turning to the political agent, "Am I not right?1" to which the polltloal Egent, after a moment's consideration, nods a decided assent. "I voted for that bill." All the Conservatives cheered, and the gentleman with the blue neoktie sat down, rather red in the face, and scanning the notes, with which the Radical political agent who had sent him there had.. furnished him, with dawning distrust.

The cry of hard times has not been permitted to relax our pnah and energy in the least We are determined to face the mnsic and GO AHEAD. The kind public has for years shown its appreciation of our untiring efforts to please, and has bestowed its fullest confidcnce in us on account of our fair and honest method of doing business, and will continue to stand by us. Therefore we have bought for it, as heretofore, the newest and best productions of the American market's for the coming fall season. Carload after carload of new goods, bought by our Messrs. Herz, Bauei and Uffenheimer during their recent visit to New York, are now arriving. We have an elegant assortment of new fall and winter Cloaks and Capes in all the latest designs already open and ready for sale. Underwear, Hosiery and Gloves are pouring in by the car load, and our Curtain department has been very extensively stocked for the coming season. The world shall say that at least one merchant in Terre Haute has nerve enough to uphold the metropolitan business aspect of our beautiful Prairie City, whose healthy financial condition ranks ahead of all rival cities in the west, and whose natural resources are so abundant as fuily protect it and its inhabitants against any fatal effects from the temporary stagnation now generally prevailing.
