PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE,

MM ABOUT TOWN.

A real estate agent said there Is oonsiderable inquiry for small farms by renters. Farmers who had moved to the city, many of them to do teamiug work, want to go back to the ooontry My informant also knew of several me ohanios who had gone to farming siuee the hard times set in early In 1893.

An insurance agent, talking about the proposed state law against the 80 .per cent, co insurance provision inserted in policies since about a year ago, said that when the new plan weut into effeot there was a kick along the line but upp.n in vestigation it was found that ^nearly

every business property was insured for fully 80 per cent. of its value. Some property owners who were vociferously declaring that they would not be forced to carry the stipulated amount found to their chagrin and mortifloaiion that they had been carrying more than 80 per cent.

There is no doubt that the insurance companies have been raising the rates and imposing new restrictions in a radi ocal fashion. The property owners have bden chafing under the arbitrary policy •f the companies and I would not be surprised that if one of the bills which Is to be introduced in the legislature making it easier and less expensive for an Indiana corporation to do insurance business in the state, means that perhaps a company may be formed here in Terre "Haute. .. ./•*

When Mr. Sankey was re elected presi dent of the State Agricultural Society the other day he broke a record. It had been ata unwritten law that no one should be re-elected to that office to immediately succeed himself. There were saven ballots, all tie votes, before the Vigo county man defeated his opponent. The chief reason for breaking over the custom was the fact that last year was the most successful in the history of the society and the majority of the members of the board thought it would be good policy to "repeat."

In the schedule of dates for trotting meetings in the Western-Southern circuit for this year Indianapolis is set down for the week beginning Aug. 12, which is the week following the August meeting here. Thelndianap lis Driving Club people were interviewed and expressed surprise at the action of the cirouit association because they had abandoned the idea of having a meeting this year. The explanation is that the State Fair Association will take the date.

If that ohange racket swindler, whose attorney secured for him a light sentence on the ground that he has the consumption,. rapidly regains health after he is released from jail, you may set it down ibat he was represented by the attorney who couid do more for him than any other.

The ot and sboe merchants say the big snow caused the sale of many rubber overshoes but that there is not much profit in them. The trust has become strong enough to control the wholesale market price and the retailer's profit has been lessened. The manufacturers say they have been losing money and must get it back.

Before the August race meeting the Vigo Agricultural Society was about twenty-five thousand dollars in debt. The meeting was so successful that something more than nineteen thousand of this amount

WAS

wiped out, and

if the "hard times"had not prevailed the meeting would have cleaned It all up. President Frank McKeen bad hoped to pay It all but considering the untoward conditions he accomplished a great deal. It bad been his purpose to retire at the end of thefast year and be wanted to go out with the society free of debt. His personal labor in behalf of the meeting began four years ago and was oonti nuous through these years. The debt does not represent losses altogether. In truth, by far the larger part of it Is represented In Improvements or, what railroad people would call "betterments." The fine art hall, for instance, is one item of the outlay. The fair proper has been a losing enterprise for three years. Mr. McKeen will remain on the board of directors. Mr. W. T. Beau champ has succeeded him as president.

The quarrel In Co. B. Is reaching that stage when all the faots and motives may be made known. There is good reason for saying that before the trouble is over it will be a regimental controversy as well as a company quarrel. I want to call attention to what some of the soldiers are new saying about the Sullivan oounty campaign during the miners' strike last year. It will be remembered that Man About Town then said the reports of attacks on the militia were either ridiculously exaggerated or made out of cloth. Aooording to the statement now made by the captain of Go. B. a sergeant with a squad of men was "fighting shadows." Yet that incident was magnified into a savage attack by strikers on the state troops, and some excitable "war correspondents" sent a thrilling story of the engagement to all parts of the oountry. Public sentiment was worked up to a high pitoh. On every band there was a demand for summary treatment of the miners they most not be permitted to live, mast be shot down, else the government was lost, etc., etc,

At the time Judge Taylor overrated the motion for anew trial in the case of Dr. Griffith, Lawyer Sam Hamill made a remark in court to the effect that the de-

oision was madeto please a certain clique for which remark the judge set out to punish him, but did not do so, Man About Town said then that the lawyer meant to "read the riot aot to the gang," to repeat the language of a lawyer who well understood the situation, The supreme court has just overruled Judge Taylor's deoision, which would mdiowte that Hamill bad good cause to feel ag grieved. A few days afterward, when he was preparing to take the oase to the supreme court, a man he had never met called on him and told him that when he, Hamill, telegraphed the news of reversal of the deoision he would receive $50. The stranger said he was distantly related to Griffith.

The Railway Times, the organ of the Amerioan Railway Union, has made Its first appearance sinoe the removal of headquarters to this olty. It is from the printing house of Moore fcLangen. Eugene Debs undoubtedly did most of the editorial writing for this issue. There is one editorial devoted to Judge Woods whioh Is a scorcher in-the sense of being severely vituperative. Debs is par excellence a "roaster," the knowledge of which faot, by the way, has kept his opponents among the leaders of rail way labor frooi publicly engaging in a controversy with him, however much the best of the argument might be witjta them,

The grip is here again with a hint that it may be as prevalent as it was a few winters ago: when it made its/first appearance.

The Street oar service during and immediately after the storm demonstrated that the management of the operating department is all that an,exacting public could expect. _______

There is td be meeting of the Terre Haute, Olney & Chester railroad people at Olney next Tuesday when the question»of.a survey of a route and the rais-ing-of money to build the road from Mt. Vernon to the west bank of the Wabash river at York, will be considered. This is the proposed road whose representatives were here a few days ago. The Illinois gentlemen were informed that if they would build the Illinois end of the road Terre Haute would see to the building of the twenty or more miles in this state and the bridge across the Wabash. The constitution of the state of Illinois prohibits the voting of public money in aid of railroads, and however desirous the people to the southwest of Terre Haute in that state may be to help along the enterprise, they are not able to raise the money by private subscription and the only hope is in selling bonds and this is not easily done unless some strong backing is secured. There are now two corporations for a southwest road. The other is the Terre Haute, Saylor Springs & Chester, whioh is older than the Olney corporation. It, too, has Mt. Vernon for the western terminal point, but the route is to the north of Oiney. For many years there has been a road from Chester, on the Mississippi fiver, to a point forty-four miles east and in the last two years, since the Saylor Springs route was projeoted, twenty-two miles were added bringing the road into Mt. Vernon. When the people of this township voted down the proposition to grant §100,000 of tax collected money for a southwest road there was but one corporation, the Terre Haute ft Mississippi, of which Mr. Hulman was president and which has gone out of existence. At Olney connection would be made with the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville and the Baltimore A Ohio Southwestern and at Mt. Vernon with the Louisville, Evansville fe St. Louis, Louisville & Nashville and the Wabash, Chester fc Western, the latter being the sixty-six miles road to the Mississippi river.

Messrs. Schmidt and Schneider are confident that we will have abase ball league and a successful one. The meeting at Chicago made plain the fact that .there would be no trouble in organizing a six olnb league. There were enough applicants to form an eight club league, but it is not thought best to have so many clubs as it would mean too many continuous days of ball playing in each of the cities to be profitable. It is the intention of Schmidt and Sohneider to build a sportsmen*6 park which can be used for various sports and for several years to come. A Dicycle track, a tennis court and a bowling alley will be among the arrangements. It is expected to have 126 games of ball in the championship series whioh will last from early in May until the middle of Ootober.

The Vandalia annual meeting has come and gone and there is no sign of those radical changes in the management about whioh there was so much gossip for a few months. Indeed there never was any foundation for the reports. The Pennsylvania people have a very exalted idea of their own way of managing a railroad, it is true, but they also know that the Vandalia way is first class and better than all that it is a dividend way of managing railroad property. The report of the Vandalia's business for last year made a No. 1 showing.?- .:::'. "v

W HOW TO REPAIR A 8HIRT, Directions by Whioh Till# Beaded Taak Becot&te* a Comparatively Ka#y One.

Thero are few wore depveairfrig sights than a half doaon shirts with worn bosoms, rough otilliw' bands and frayed wrintbauds, but porfeotly whole muslin bodies and sleeves, The mualiu part being good means to the economical housewife the task of replacing the old bosoms with now ones and thereby saving at least one-lmlf the vnlue of anew flhirt. A writer who has had experience in this matter of shirt repairing tells her plan in Harper's Bazar. She says*

Ttye shirts were washed for the purpose of removing every vestige of starch, then ironed smooth. A different course was followed with each one, according to its need of repairs. If the neckband was worn beyond repair, it. was ripped

its out?f! tidge, there was oqt a shield shaped piece of linen to reaoh dowp as low is the vest opeuiug aud,qorrespondingly wide, the ourve at the neck beijof ofiMully followed, allowance being ftade for the plait in front. This was laid over the old bosom, oopying the plait by pressing the'Uew linen under folds of the old plait. After basting, the whole thing was stitched witfi exceed ing nioety. Here was anew bosom and not one-quarter the time or the material consumed as in the old way. .j'^Jn case the buttonholes of the neokband wefe whole- and the band simply worn at its edge, it was loosened only in front, where the. new linen of the bosom was to be placed, then restitohed and its upper edge bonnd with a fine linen tape.

Wristbands in the same condition were smoothly trimmed off and similarly treated, except that very muoh wide* braid was used, whioh, instead of following the rounded ends, was finished off straight, a generous turn in being allowed, so as to make the corners sufficiently thiok. Where new, wristband* are needed it is better to cut oft the old ones, thus affording afresh place fOr the gathers. Muslin was used for both neck and wrist band. The back yokes were strengthened by a narrow tape stitohed.

Boles For House Famishing. 'W The carpet ought to be seleoted first, and that, of course, must be chosen in reference to the light, location and general plan of the room. There is a much wider scope in the purohase and variety of wall palters, and one can generally be found to harmpnize with the carpet. Both should be subdued in effeot, and ohosen not by the strips, but t)y the whole four sides of the room, as it is seen in the mind's eye, a most difficult feat, by the way. A narrow piece, shoWv ing a delioate pattern of roses, is oh&rfi ing and coquettish, but when thdie charms are multiplied by 100 they assume formidable proportions.

Keeping the Feet Small.

To remedy this wear shoes as long as oan be managed, but not as wide as seem neoessary. Never we§r old slippers around the house, unless they are snug in the width, and be careful of oorna. These are c«ver necessary while the chiropodist exists.
