THE MALE

A TAPER

FOR THE

PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Sheriff Stout is out not less than $5,000 up to date by the new fee and salary law which the Supreme court has just held to be constitutional. The law went into effectayear ago last November, and Stout would have been $5,000 ahead if allowed the big mileage on the transfer of convicts and insane to.the penitentiary and the to asylum since then. Under the new law he receives only the exact cost of the trip. Hereafter not so many trips will be made to the penitentiary. One of the schemes under the old law was to take one prisoner at a time though several were under sentence, thereby trebling and occasionally quadrupling the mileage.

A canvasser for the city directory found eigLty-nine persons in the employ of the Terre Haute House, which total was greater than Mr. But'/ thought he had on his pay roll.

Hanging on the wall of the otliee of President McKeen is an autograph order of General Winfield Scott, which reads as follows: "R. N. Hudson, Charles P. Cruft, J. P. Bairi, W. R. McKeen, C. R. Bement, G. W. Bement, J. H. Hager, W. H. Buckingham and W. B. Tuell will be permitted to pass the lines of United States troops to General McDowell's headquarters, and are commended to the courtesy of all." This is dated July 10th, 1861. The gentlemen named happened to be in Washington together, and having a curiosity to see the soldiers in camp, procured this order. They drove out to Centreville, Va., the next day, and spent the night of the 20th there. On the morning ot the 21st they were awakened by the sound of cannon firing. That was the day of the battle of Bull Run. Several of the gentlemen walked toward the battleground, four miles away, but returned much excited and with the news of the demoralization of the Union forces. Of the gentlemen in the party but two are now alive, Mr. McKeen and Mr. G. W. Bement. In General Scott's order the names are written three to a lino. Singularly enough the gentlemen named in the top line died first, then the three in the bottom line. Mr. Russell Bement's recent death is the first in the middle line.

The projected distillery in operation will mean not less than ten more internal revenue appointments.

We are more than a month past "settling day," the first of the year, and no' Terre Haute merchant has been forced to tbo wall.

On an overture from the Terre Haute club which owns and occupies the fine residence property on Ohio street, a committee of three from that club is conferring with a likocommittee from the Fort Harrison club on the question of consolidating the two clubs. The first named has a membership of about two hundred and the latter fifty. It is doubtful if tho two can "get together." Tho trouble seems to be to congregate 100 men in Terre Haute whoare clubable. In tiie Terre Haute club there are many who believe in a culinary attachment and a sideboard and as many who are conscientiously opposed to this idea as it is known In cities and which means a living place, an eating and drinking plaeo and perhaps a card playing place. The members of tho Fort Harrison club have all the comforts of "bed and board" at their homes and most of the Terre Haute club people are equally as well provided. The Fort Harrison «lub will be thirteen years old this month and it has thoroughly investigated all these questions with the result that it has fouud the best results in the occupancy of several rooms in the Marble block with comparatively light expense. There is a billiard table, a good library, a smoking room and a card room. A common impression is that it is a very exclusive organization into which it is difficult to secure admission but a member said this is not true. The fact is that men who have sought admission found it easily obtained. The trouble

was

in en

joying the surroundings. The new man would not be snubbed but he usually discovered that he

was

a misfit, and

dropped out. It is a popular belief that tierce arguments are occasionally held in these rooms but outsiders are about as likely to hear the details as if the occurrence bad taken place in a Masonic lodge room. The Terre Haute club yet owes §11,000 on the purchase price of the property which was bought from John S. Beach. It is the belief of some members that if the two clubs could bo consolidated and the club house enlarged to provide sleeping rooms and a cafe there would be less difficulty in paying oS the debt, but ail who favor consolidation are not in favor of the boarding house club idea.

riu'to is a local feeling of disappointment because Governor Matthews failed to appoint a Terre Haute citizen to the Board of Trustoss of the Stale Normal School. With the retirement of Mr. Royse on the 24th of this month the city will be without representation on the

BICYCLE

tion was established. Col. Thompson was a member of the first board and was succeeded in the order named by John T. Scott, William E. McLean, Joseph Gilbert and I. H. C. Royse. There are both sentimental and material reasons why Terre Haute ought to have a representative on the board. When the project for a normal school was first before the legislature Terre Haute's faith in its success was exceptional. The normal idea in connection with the common school system was not popular and no other city made anything like the offer made by Terre Haute to secure the school. This city gave 950,000 in cash and the site. It also obligated itself to bear one-half the expense for repairs and is now paying one half the costof insurance. At the time of the fire the city gave $50,000 to-ward the new building. Up to date the total of the city's contribution is fully $150,000. The sentimental propriety of selecting a Terre Hautean for a place on the board is therefore apparent. A resident member is almost absolutely required by reason of the constant need of action or advise by some one representing the board in regard to the business affairs of the institution which are considerable. Then, too, there is a c'ty interest which might well be respected in this fact. In the matter of repairs and improvements often there is a doubt as to whether the charge should go to the construction account or to repairs and with all due respect to the other members of the board there is need of a member who will see to it that not too much of this expenditure ia set down in the repairs account.

Two fire losses at Evansville and one at Ft. Wayne this week, each of more than 325,000, again call attention to the exemption of Terre Haute from such fires. We have had our distillery and car works fires, it is true, but comparatively few losses between $20,000 and $50,000 of which there are frequent reports from cities of like size.

The county treasurers, auditors and recorders are to hold a conference at Indianapolis next Monday to consider the advisability of testing the fee and salary law. The decision of the Supjeme Court in Sheriff Stout's case did not cover these other offices.

The product of the Terre Haute oil wells, which amounts to twenty-five or thirty barrels a day, finds ready sale at 75 cents a barrel which price is three times what it was when the oil was found In the summer of 1889. I

The appearance of John Lamb in Wash ingtoD this week set the Washington

correspondents to guessing at the politi-

cal significance of his visit. Naturally the starting point was the probability of his making the race for congress this year. Speculation on this probability is wasted time because however sanguine he may be of his prestige and ability to thrust aside all obstacles John Lamb knows it would not be a good year for him to make the race and that a second defeat for congress would seriously affect the accomplishment of whatever ambition ho may have to go to the senate. Mr. Lamb himself says he is in Washington on private business. The dispatches say he is holding mauy whispered conferences with Senator Voorhees. If he desired to transfer to Washington those services which gained for him the designation by the Indianapolis Sentinel as "Prince of the Lobby" at the legislature, it would not be difficult for him to make $40,000 or $50,000 in the next few months. The protected industries and the importers, who want protection and free trade respeatively, stand ready to pay big money to anyone who has as much inlluence as Lamb has over Senator Yoorhees who, as chairman of the senate finance committee, now that the tariff bill is about to go to the senat9 from the house, will have more to say about its provisions than any other man.

G. P. Putnam's Sons announce that they will soon issue a life of Senator Newton Booth of California. The volume will also contain his speeches and addresses. Lauren E. Crane Is to edit the work. Col. Thomas H. Nelson, who was an intimate personal friend of the' senator, both when he lived in Terre Haute and later when he was in the senate, says he does not know who Lauren E. Crane can be unless he is a son of Colouel Crane, also formerly of this city, now of New York, and who was acloso friend of Mr. Booth.

The Terre Haute house corridor this week has been tilled with contractors seeking the various contracts for the uew distillery. Ground was broken Wednesday and the promise is that the work of construction will bo expedited in every possible way.

Last year the ground hog couldn't see hie shadow on February 2nd but Winter lingered far into spring. Yesterday he cast but a flitting shadow early in tho day. If is hoped that the prediction of an early spring will be better verified this roar than last.

The prosecution of Banker Beach is taking on a new and more serious phase.

The gentlemen who raised the $4,000 for the new distillery site have stipulated that it is not to be contributed until the Woolsey people have spent at least $25,000 in the work of construction. This is a wise and business-like precaution.

like requirement had been complied with although there was no doubt of the sincerity of his purpose to permanently establish anew industry in the city.

Peter Jackaon drinks Bass' ale, not to excess, perhaps, but in any quantity, it is quite as sure to knock him out as whisky did John L. Sullivan. This is a tip to those who intend betting on the Corbett-Jackson fight. The Opera House was crowded last night when the negro appeared in Uncle Tom's Cabin. With Corbett as the attraction there would be standing room oaly, even thaugh the admission prices were doubled. Choynski, Jackson's sparring partner, had a "beautiful black eye" which, it is said, be got at Indianapolis where he and Jackson came near fighting in "dead earnest."

Stop That Cough

In the fall of 1892 I had la grippe, which left me in a very distressed condition with throat and lungs very sore and a bad cough. Nothing I used did me any good and 1 only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial of Gulick's compound syrup of "WHITE PINE, WILD CHERRY AND TA R," and its use soon brought the needed relief. I therefore cheerfully indorse it as an agreeable and efficient cough remedy.
