tournament was in hai.d the New York ers scoffed at the statement.: Dr. Gerstaoeyer, who is president of the Terre Haute chess club, has issued an address to the chess players of the Un:WJ States saying that the club has evei„ -nfi4ence that on January 27th, viixsn the entries close, the money will be turned over to the club by Charles O. Jackson, -of Kokoino, who is president of the state association. None of the money was raised here. Mr. Jackson obtained it somewhere and if there are 26 entries on the 27th the tournament will be a go. Not more than 40 entries will be accepted. Thirty players ought to make the jontest continue for a month. The roomB at the Terre Haute house are now open and local players meet there every evening to ponder over the chess board.

Surely the times are out of joint. One hardware store sold out of sleds and skates twice before Christmas.

The feeling of uneasiness among the Yandalia employes is wearing away. The men begin to realize that though undoubtedly there' will be radical changes, they will not be made in the near future. The new plan for operating purposes is the most significant feature of the situation thus far developed. It means, as the railroaders say, that eyery man will know which door he must enter. In other words responsibility will be more definitely placed and discipline of an exacting character enforced in all departments. If an employe has a grievance he might as well tender his resignation as to call on an official over the head of an immediate superior. If be can not get satibfnction with the latter he can appeal the higher authority. In thecla^sitication of the men, as to which .official they shall report, already radical chaugtn have been made but not officially promulgate] a ted. These changt-s are causing considerable anguish, suppressed but excruciating, in some Instances.'

Will Donaghoe was elected cashier of the National state bank laBt Wednesday and Thursday he was about as much engaged in receiving congratulations as in receiving and paying out money. He has been with the bank more than twenty years, beginning as a messenger boy. The promotion is looked upon with favor by the business community and with a sense of personal pleasure by his many friends.

Shoaft of Paris, who won the championship in the billiard tournament used to come here ten years ago to play base ball, when Paris would try to defeat the Hautentots. Paris is decidedly impressed with the idea that it is not to be rated as second to Terre Haute in any respeot other than population. And, according to numbers, Paris people are not surpassed by those of Terre Haute •r any other city. If Shoaffcaptures another prize we shall resort to even more •xtravagant praise of Parisians.

The opposition to the renomlnation of Brookshire has either disappeared or the Lamb people are on a still bunt for the •oogressuaan's scalp. The truth seems #o be that Brookshire did not lose as •inch prestige by the failure to control federal patronage as the other aide did ky disappointing ten men for every •ne who got a place. No other candidate for congress is mentioned. Lamb's friends say he has no thought of being a •andidate and if he has settled upon some one to use in the effort to retire Brookshire that partioular some one is •ot being paraded befoie the publlo. There is something, too, In the conjecture that Brookshire's enemies are content to see him retired at tLe polls in November that this is not a good year tor Demoorats anyway.

It is reported here that Ex-Congress-mac Johnston will not be a candidate for the nomination for Attorney General •n the Republican state ticket and that be will try to make the race for oongress.

The Terre Haute Trotting Association has been given an earlier date this year for Its meeting—September 10-14. Fort Wayne and Indianapolis oome in ahead, the latter city having the week prior to ours. After Terre Haute there are a •ouple of weeks in Ohio and then the horses go south, to Lexington and Nashville. There is a probability that some of the dates may be changed. A* now arranged the trotting association's meet-

Some New York chesa players are trying to "queer" the masters tournament announced for this city beginning Febiuary 27th and at least one newpaper, the New York Times, is lending itoelf gioners who have decretionary authority to the display of contemptible envy and financial agents of the people, of course

there was only $1,000 to be contended against the increase has been succeeded for. A makeshift tournament was held, j^y fticFall, "from over the river." however, at the masters, who as a rule Under the old law the salary of the judge are improvident in worldly affairs, took

ing follows very close on the fair racos, which are to be of a phenomenal character, because with thefUstakes offered, nearly $50,000, there Will t?e trotting events that will attract national attention. -s t-*

It is understood that a'petition will be presented to the county commissioners for an increase in the salaries of the judges. The decision of the Supreme Court, reversing the decision of the acting judge, George Knight, that there is no appeal from the county com mis

does not prevent the board from again considering a petition for more pay for the judges. The board now is differently constituted. Jatfies Cox, who exerted the controlling influence with the board

oould have been increased to as much as $4,000. Grand Master Sargent was in Washington Wednesday. It is understood that he was there in the interest of pro posed legislation asked for by organized riilway labor. One measure is to prevent strikers being held for contempt of court if they quit their employment on a road which is in the hands of a reciever appointed by a federal judge. Another is a plan for compulsory arbitration.

Colonel Thompson was born in the same year with a number of famous people, including Darwin, Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar A. Poe, the historian, Einglake Mendelssohn, Jules Favre, Lincoln, Hamlin, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Robert C. Winthrop, the latter ex speaker and ex-sena-tor, and "who is one of two men living who served in congress as far back as the colonel.

Oranges 50 cents a peck and apples 70 cents a peck! That was a market quo tation this week, and what is more, the oranges were of first quality while the apples were not.

Considering the size of the audience which Clara Morris has drawn in this olty, it is a remarkable fact that many regular theater goers saw her for the first time Thursday night.

Wanted—A ^oung man, wholesomely enthusiastic as a Republican partisan but with some of the deliberate judgement of age, who has a good presence and can make a good campaign speech, to take the posiiiou of leader in this congres sional district. He can have any office in sight for his pay. Such a man can "fill a long fejt wknt."

Colonel Hill has said that he will resign the position of general superintend ent or the Yandalia system. The date when his resignation will take effect has not been fixed. The colonel has various interests in St. Louis where he has lived for 13 years, and has invested a comfortable fortune. Naturally be did not feel like moving to Terre Haute where the office of the general superin teudent is to be located in accordance wlili the new plan of organization. His successor will be selected by the board of directors. The duties of the position hereafter will be more exacting, especial ly in matters of detail.

Lem Willis has been in court at Sulli van to plead to the indictment charging him with the murder of Lawyer Hultz. Of course he pleaded "not guilty." His trial was set for April 3d. There had been a report that Prosecutor Hamill and Ex-Judge John C. Robinson of this olty had been retained by friends of Hultz to assist in theprosecution. Judge Briggs says a request had been made that he appoint counsel to aid the prose cutor. He had heard something of a movement to procure further counsel but he said if he had to appoint he would make his own selection and would de termine in advance the amount of the fae to be paid.

Governor Matthews is quoted as saying that he had decided to reappoint Murray Briggs to the Normal board of trustees. The term of Mr. Royse of this olty expires with that of Mr. Briggs, but the governor leaves it to be understood that he will not reappoint him. His successor is to be one who has been in sympathy with the board in its action regarding the troubles last June, however, so that if Mr. Royse is dropped it will not be a victory for the oppositionto the school management. The governor told Man About Town that n6 Terra Hautean is an applicant. Also that a Republican would be appointed. He did not think it necessary that one trustee should be a resident of Terre Haute, as has been the case, so that the secretary of the board could always be on hand. Mr. Joseph Gilbert, it will be recalled, preceded Mr. Royse in that position. The governor thought that if the secretary lived within easy reach of the city it would answer all purposes.

Harry Hamill, superintendent of the city work house, Chas.' King, an ex saloon keeper and La'wrence Owens, a well known bar tender, were arrested Thursday on an indictment returned by the grand jury for robbing J. F. Trebble, a Clay county merchant, of $300. Trebble came to this city on business with a large sum of money on his person, and drank more than was good for hiih and fell among the Phillistines. He displayed a big roll of money in Pierce's saloon, just north of the market house, and left there in company with King. Bie was arrested by Hamill at Fourth and Ohio, and instead of taking him to police headquarters to be searched Ham ill marched him off to jail. When he arrived there he had but $2.70 on his clothes. He complained to the police the next morning, and investigation led to the arrest of Hamill, King and Owens. Owens was able to give bond in the sum of $1,000 and was released, but the other men have been unable to, and are still behind the bars. They persist in maintaining their innocence of the charge, and slaim they will be able to establish it on trial. The grand jury is still investigating the matter, and it is said that other arrests are sure to follow. Eli Lowery, one of the turnkeys at the jail, Is suspected of connection with the case. He searched the prisoner, Trebble at the jail, and before this had sent the regular turnkey, Weir, off on a wild goose chase, looking for an inquiring friend he had met in an uptown saloon. Thus far, Lowery has been uiiable to find the man who was looking for Weir, or to give any description of him by which he can be identified. .Hi's convenient presence at the jail when Hamill appeared with the prisoner puts him in a bad light.
