ON THE QUI VIVE.

A great many persona have expressed the opinion that after the oounoil committee gets through with their investigation of the city engineer the prioe of lime will advanoe In this locality, and that Q. V.'s old friends, "Jim" Finley and "Bill" Dyer, will see their reputations as wbitewashers vanish into thin air. V. doesn't take much stock in this kind of talk, however, and until better advised will continue to pin his faith to "Andy" Crawford, "Joe" Fuqua, Jehu Lewis, Henry Graham and Frank Wey, who have heard the testimony Offered in proof of the fact that the city engineer's office has not been conducted in the manner that an office of suoh importance should be conducted. An effort has been made to obscure the point at issue by endeavoring to prove that the attempt to remove Mr. Bosler is Inspired by politicians, who are displeased by Mr. B.'s refusal to beoome a "ward heeler." Q. V. has lived long enough in Terre Haute to be entitled to a vote, and he does not remember a city engineer who could justly be called a "ward heeler." He believes—in common with a vast majority of people— that a man who is called upon to fill a position of such great responsibility should have extended experience, and that the salary should be such as would permit tb® employment of an expert. If there is any office In the city that shonld require ability and experience, rather than political pull and influence, it is that of city engineer.

Asa matter of fact, when Mr. Bosler came here in the summer of '91, to take a position under the then city engineer, Frank H. Cooper, he (Bosler)announced that be had giveu up a good position as a railroad engineer, to take one in municipal engineering because he believed that there was a better futuie for a young man in the last named branch of the profession than in the other. Yet, in a comparatively short time he is found in full charge of the engineering depart ment of the city of Terre Haute. His knowlege of municipal engineering must have been acquired by leaps and bounds.

The Gazette, with its customary and ^familiar ingenuity in .obscuring .the point at issue when the Interests of a man who contributes to the Democratic campaign fund are Involved, In its local columns endeavors to oreate the impression that the fight on Mr. Bosler is being made by the friends of ex-City

Engineer Cooper. It so happens, however, that In the list of persons who petitioned the council to have George A. Simpson appointed city engineer— which of course meant the retirement of Mr. Bosler—appears the name of Will iam C. Ball, the editor and one of the proprietors of the Gazette. Among the other names that appear on the petition for the appointment of Mr. Simpson as city engineer are those of W. R. McKeen, Demas Deming, W. 0. Buntin, A. C. Ford, W. C. Eichelberger, A. W. Spain, M.Joseph, W. S. Rea, P. J. Kauf man, E. H. Bindley, J. R. Duncan, J. Watson. A. Foster, W. W. Haworth, Cook, Bell A Black, Andrew Grimes, Frank Paddock. Richard Dahlen, J. A. Marshall, E P. Fairbanks, Prank Mc Keen, F. C. Crawford, Wm. Penn, James Hunter, A. B. Mewhlnney, Joseph Strong, A. G. Blake, Geddes, D. N. Taylor, B. G. Cox, Wm. Maok, Martin Hollinger, Anton Mayer, Lewis B. Martin, C. W. Mancourt, H. Hulman, Frank Prox, R. G. Jenckes, W. P. Ijams, A. G. Austin, W. E. McLean, R. W. Rippetoe and J. A. Parker, who are not likely to be charged with polltloal bias in asking that a Republl can council appoint a man who has been looked upon as a Democrat.

It seems a waste of time and energy for the investigating committee to examine into the charges against Mr. Bosler. The other day the city engineer's offioe boy— who bail his salary raised from twenty five tc forty-five dollars a month, on Mr. Bosler'a recommennation—testified that in his opinion Mr. Bosler is a good engineer. That ought to settle the matter beyond all dispute, and the committee simply wasted its time In any further consideration of the charges.

As the dally papers would say, the announcement made "exclusively in The Mail" ft couple of weeks ago, that there was a sensation brewing in the gas line was verified late last Saturday evening, when the C«tl*ens» Gas Company went into the hands of a receiver, B. V. Marshall, who has *uite a reputation as are ©elver, as he is now tilling that position for John S. Beach. The story of the CItisen's company is one that has often been told about corporations, the stockholders putting in something eoutlnually and taking nothing out. There have been many stories extant since the receiver was appointed, all hinging on R. s. Tennant, who is charged by the remainder of the directors of the Citizens' company, with being the one man that prevented ft sale to the old company a long time ago. Mr. Teooant, it is understood, is not in the gas business for his health,and if be goes out of it, it will be with a handsome return on the in|redressed vestment he has made in the plant for

producing cheap gat». It |s aal^l he is figuring on buying the new company's plant at receiver's sale if he oan get octroi of the old company in the bargain. He is said to be a firm believer in the theory that cheap gas oan be made to pay here if* he two plants are under one management and control, but the majority of people will be greatly surprised if a union of the two oompani&t does not develop an advance in the prioe of gas from the present rate. ,||^

Q. Y. violates no confidence when he states that Receiver Marshall will not be as long making a report as receiver of the Citizens Fuel and Gas Company as be has been in makiug one as assignee of John S. Beach. Cases, however alter circumstances, as olroumstanoes alter oases.

There hasn't been anything said about it In the dallies, bat It is a well-known fact that the eleotion of Miss Paddock as librarian of the publlo library was a complete turn-down for that portion of the Demooratlo party known as the "Lamb orowd." With a majority on the board it was the intention to advanoe Mrs. Hughes to the position of librarian and elect a* assistant a relative of one of the pushers In the orowd. Mr. Biland, however, refused to be a party to suoh an arrangement, and voted with Mr. Buttou to elect Miss Paddook, whose experience in the position, and her ability, entitled her to this recognitlen.

Deputy City Clerk Will Hamilton, who has refused all kindly advances made by the barbers since August 1, 1893, when he took the position in the olerk's office, had his hair out this week. It is said that the only man who Was put out by the shearing was Manager Hay man, who is chairman of the amusement committee of the Charity Circus and who had built his hopes high on having the accommodating city official act as the "long haired boy," in the,sideshow.

Another illustration of "cheap John" methods in business is furnished In the departure of the Fourth street photographer, who has been doing work almost for nothing for several months past. It is discovered, now, that the reason that he was able to do work so cheaply was because he paid, no bills, and was ^it^c^ng in advanoe for the work be did. Meanwhile the home photographers, who expect to stay here and who pay their bills, were hurt by the fakir. It has always seemed strange to Q. Y. that people will patronize such suaps as this, but it seems they can't be headed off.

Democratic town-ihtp trustees all over the state, acting on the advice from Iu dlanapolis, are going ahead to ulecf. a county superintendent in June, on the assumption that the new law fixing the eleotion in September is unoonstltu tional. Of conrso the law was passed for partisan purposes, but if all the laws were scratched off the Indiaua statute books that were enacted for this purpose by the recent legislatures perhaps there wouldn't be suoh a demand for an increase in the number of onr Supreme court judges. The Demoorats who have been figuring on ousting Mr. Carry when the board is half Republican, will probably have a harder dght to get rid of him when the board Is almost solidly Democratic. Of course the Republican trustees will meet at the time speoified in the new law, elect a county superin tendent, and then we will have an endless amount of litigation. It is the first time in almost a quarter of a century that a Republican auditor has had a ance to sit with the township trustee)* on suoh an occasion, and a* there is universal belief among Republicans that the new law is all right he may refuse to aot at the June meeting on the ground that the date has been changed by law. At any rate there is likely to be a very animated discussion, legal and otherwise, over the question, and that's what we keep oourts up for.

Mayor Rosa is endeavoring to have a court room made out of the north room of the market house, that has been rented year in and year out to the gardeners at a prioe that scarcely pays for the ooet of gas used. He ought to re* oeive every enoouragement, for the present room used for court pnrposes is a sight to behold. Then, when the oity building is "pointed" aod painted, and tu« sidewalks cemented, Terre Hante will have a building of whloh she oan well be proud—which is more than can be said of it in its present shape,

If the announcement is accurate that sleeves are to be bigger tban ever the coming season then it is necessary thai the arm of the law be invoked. There is a precedent for this, for as early as 1333 the town of Dedbam, Mass., adopted the following: "And be it farther enacted: That hereafter no person whatsoever shall make a garment for women or.any other sex with sleeves more than half an ell wide in the widest part and so proportionate for bigger or smaller persons. And for present reformation of immoderate great sleeves and some other superfluities which may easily be without much prejudice or soli of garments, It la ordered, etc."

BIG SHOW. i-:-V' -•'U'v-.-

The Rare Treat Afforded Oar People by Rlngllug Bros. The great Rtngllug shows name in from Danville, 111., thin tnoruiug and have pitched their wonderful spread of oauvasa at Eighteenth and Ohio streets Their parade this morning was pronounoed the finest street display ever given here and it is guaranteed that every feature of the show is in keeping with the high oharacter of the publlo display. About the meanest trick ever heard of was the starting of the repoijt here two ot three days,f^gq that th(».a||Ow would not be here, on account of, being quarantined at Mattoon on account of the smallpox. The story, is up true In every particular, and if ,it Is a fact—aa asserted—that the report was started by a rival concern, It should secure for the rival the greatest contempt. Rlngling Bros, really have a great show, and are entitled to the patronage of all the lovers of a circus—and their name i« legion—at their performance this afternoon and evening.

Remarkable as it may seem, Ringling Bros., havesucoeeded In engaging for the present season all the really great bareback riders of this country and Europe. The list is notable, not only because of its length, but also from the fact that every oneot these riders has an Inter national reputation. In fact, any one of them would be a star attraction for any other circus. M'ile Elena, whdheidsthe list of female riders, has won the unbounded admiration uf all who have witnessed her finished and sprightly performance. She is the personification of grace and dexterity, and has been justly named "the queen of the arena." Nothing more effectively picturesque could beooneei ved than this petite young girl, endowed by naiure with rare beauty of form and feature, dancing and pirouetting upon horseback, or poised upon one dainty foot, seeming to float In air, while the spirited animal beneath her dashes around the arena with the speed of the wind. This beautiful and dashing equestrienne is ably seconded by Julia Lwande and Marian L«si»e. whose skill as horsewomen entitle them to a distinct position among great arenlc stats. Among the famous somerwau riders are: Mike Rooney, or.e of the youngest but already the greatest of American bareback equestrians ChasW. Fish, whoee somersaults, turned with equal facility, forward or backward, while his horse is running at a high rate of speed, have never been equaled Oecile Lowaude, Edward Shipp, Wm. De Tan, Dae Leon, and a numbe**f other riders whose names are welt known add popular the world over. The novelties, however, are not confined to the riders. The best aerlallats, the

biltTiest-priced gymnasts, the most notable «peoialtata in all departments the largest and most expensive menagerie In tbp world the grandest entree the most exciting hippodrome races Literati's superb military band of sixty soloists, and the best, biggest, brightest and moat resplendent tournament ever seen are among the features wbiehtsapeolal distinguish the World's Oreatest!Sbf from all others this season.

AMU8EMENT8.

Sum Youug'i* Oreat Continuous Show Stakes a Hit. The amusement goers of Terre Haute have this week been treated to their first o^tinuous show, an$ It has caught on inlinensely, as shown by the wonderful increase in patronage since the opening performance. Manager Sam Young is to be congratulated on the splendid entertainment given, which is said by thope who have seen similar shows ij)| the* large cities to be far ahead of any thing o'f the kind ever attempted. It is olefin and attractive from start to finish and gives our people a ohanoe to see something of a. treat in the way of an up-to-date vaudeville performance that oootains nothing that oan oflend the most refined taste. The three Rubes, Dixon, Bowers and Dixon the Mendoza sitters, trapeze performers Bonnie Lottie, who is a wonderful dancer and an attractive little artist in her taking specialty Ed. Eagleton, the monologulst Irviu T. Bush, the Arkausaw Trilby Moreland and Thompson, the refined sketoh artists: the Viotorellls, shadowgraph artists Frank Buomanand wife, are all ai$is of ability, aod the entertainment* is one of great enjoyment. The dramatic jponipany is the best that ever played here at popular prices—in fact, is far superior to many that have played here at regular prices. Those popular Terre Haute actors, John W. Barry and George W. Mahare, have done by far the best work ever given before Terre Haute audiences. The last performance will be given to-night, when the dramatic company will present "The Streets of New York." Those who have -not seen this great show should em^ace this last opportunity and they oei$ainly will feel well rej^ld.
