ON THE QUI VIVE,

Tbe Sstabllshed grades of all the alleys between Sdeond street ou the west. Ninth Btt^t di tbe t*a*t, Cherry street

t,n

the north, nod Walnut street on the south are to be changed to accommodate the olty engineer," who ban prepared plans and specifications for their iimprovement, as ordered by the council. At least one is led to suppose that it Is fto accommodate the city engineer, as no other reason is advanced for the change. The city will have a nice little bill to pay

r«r

the change of these grades.

Tt.tu- »r- twenty-four alley* to be changed. It will require two meetings of the city commissioners to effect the proposed changes. The commissioners* salaries amount to $15 a day, with $5 extra for tbe import, making $20 a meeting or 940 for e*cb alley, providing the work can be accomplished one day at each meeting. The twenty four streets, for the commissioner* a^ue, wlH oost fJHH), to say nothing of the cost of advertising non residents, the city's share of the cost of changing grades from which tbe property,owners can derive no possible benefit, and by the time the work is finished, it will cost the city 1b the neighborhood of $1,200, and then, If there is any contest in the courts, as there •may be, that will be added to the total. And what Is the benefit to be derived from It? There may be some, but If there to, it seems to ordinary people that the council should know something about tbe benefits before going to such expense Permanent and substantial Improve menu have been made along tbe lines of every one of these alleys, according to tbe grades that have been established for years, and it seems strange that at this late hour It should be discovered that It is absolutely necessary to change these grades. The plans for every street that has been improved with brick or asphalt in the business quarter In tbe past few years have been prepared with reference to the established grades of street and alleys adjoining the improvements, and now It is proposed to change all these grades. Perhaps it is all right, but if it Is, it seems to Q. V. that there shpuld. be some explanation from tbe committee through whose recommeoda: t£^i the work was ordered..

'The engineer seems to be a, power in the council, as the member? took his ••roasting" the other night like little men, and like It was a partof their medicine. He told them in as many words that if they didn't permit him to select his own deputies he wouldn't be responsible for what was done In the office, or by those selected by the committees in charge, of the- work of his department. It is real, real mean that the council will not permit him to select deputies from his own particular list of favorites, and thus secure men who will move government stones at his pleasure, excavate streets from established grades until they look like oanals, and do his every bidding like the docile dogs he expects them to be. It is just too bad that the council will not permit him to do just as he pleases in this matter, and the committee on streets and bridges ought to hustle the other members of the council up, aod see that he gets what he wtnts. The members of that committee seem disposed to permit him to do what ever he pleases, anil they ought to exert •their Influence on the other members of •the council in the same direction.

What Dr. Hunter thinks about Dr. Holmes and what Dr. Holmes thinks «bout Dr. Hunter has ocoupled a great -deal of space in the olty papers this 'week, but so far as any one has been able to tflnd out their opinions of each other has not done very much to advance the cause of Christianity or that of the Nicholson bill, In which V. believes Dr. Holmes is as much Interested as Dr. Hunter, although be moves in an altogether way to accomplish his purpose. Ju fact, Q. V. violates no confidence when he states that the publio is heartily «lck and tired of reading what these reverend gentlemen think of eaoh other.

"Deme" Deming is getting quite a good deal of roasting on account of his determination to build a livery and breeding stable on the ground between the High School and the new Methodist church on south Seventh street. Mr. Deming ha* long been known as one of the most enterprising and public spirited cltl«*nsof this city, and has always been in the lesd in every public enterprise that has been brought to the front for the benefit of Terre Haute capital and Terre Haute people. It Is rather ftn just, therefore, that he should be so severely criticised just because he wants to build a livery stable in the neighborhood he has selected. Every person of a proper frame of mind knows that a well-regu-lated livery stable adds to the value of tbe property in the neighborhood in which it may be located, and it seems that only the most biased can protest against such an enterprise. It Is especially unjust to use anch harsh language against a man who Is known to have taken a prominent part in every public enterprise that has been under taken here, and it la to be hoped that those who are taking snch a prominent part in the abuse of such a publlo spirit­

ed citiaen will see the error of their ways, and oome, in time, to acknowledge their misukeg^^^^^

Quite a number of saloon keepers aie preparing to take a position to obey the Nicholson law when It goes Into effect. They are having their screens removed

Many of the.aaloon keepers in the outside districts have been paying some attention to the law, In so far as It relates to the coming hours. The smartest tes have 'been doing this, and their smartness will be more fully disclosed when the trials come of those who will

A-quiet but etteotlve boom has been started for "Riley" McKeen for United States senator, and unless he heads it off himself it will have assumed such proportions by the time the legislature meets In Janukry, 1897, If It is Republican, that he will be a senator beyond a doubt. Mr. McKeen may not be able to make a flowery speech, but he knows tbe right way to vote, and the trouble about tbe United States senate the past few years has been that its members did too much talkingand not enough voting. This is not tbe first time Mr. McKeen's name has 'been mentioned for the senatorship, and it Is part of the unwritten history of the legislature of 1887, when the notable cob test was on between Gen. Harrison and David Turpie, in which the latter won, that Mr. McKeen could have bad theone vote that was necessary to elect a Republican senator, but whioh Mr. Harrison could not get. He declined to be a candidate, however, his sense of fairness,telling him that it would not be right for him to accept the

honor

under

the circumstances. He is a big-hearted, fcroatihwnded classes, and about every man, woman «nd child In thiB neck o'woods would get out and hustle for him if he should express a Willingness to be a candidate for any political office. Here's to Senator "Riley" McKeen.

-FASHION'S FANCIES.

Jet and bead bodice fronts are revived in great elegance. Dresden sashes give a charming finish to solid white.gowns, «r

Trilby footstools are the newest. They are of tufted silk or velvet. The oraze for accordion-pleating grows more-and more pronounced.

The lace collar, now so fashionable, cannot be too wide or too deep. A parasol of brocaded silk, lined with plain India silk, has the edge trimmed with loops of narrow ribbon.

Among tbe new

sbAdes

are rose pink,

rose red, pale dull green and varying yellows known as mustard tones. White orepe Chinese shawls with a deep silk fringe will be among fashionable wraps for summer evenings.

Detachable muslin sailor.collars with frilled edges are buttoned round the neck for the purpose of smartening up plain blouses.

In leather belts for summer wear' there are new colors and styles. They are wider and have more ornamentation than last season.

The most decided novelty in wopis shows a pattern of tiny, light-colored silk stars woven on the surfaoe of the dainty, cheoked material.

White duck suits are to continue In vogue, but not the cheap, domestic duck. The material that comes over the sea will have the preference.

Indications are that the shape of the skirts will remain much the same throughout the summer, but light fabrics will be gathered Instead of pleated.

Neapolitan straw is the material of whioh some of the most beautiful of the newly imported bonnets are made. And It Is declared they oannot be Imitated.

Many of the silk gowns, as well as the thin ones, are out round at the neck, with no high collar, and trimmed with a band of embroidery, put on to form a square. '"V

The furniture revival next "year for the drawing room will be tbe rosewood aod red velvet of over fifty years ago, when there was less style but more solidity.

The street commissioner tore up the spur tracks of tbe old street railway company this week, under orders fr the oity council. The spur tracks were put down when the council granted tbe Crawford company tbe rights, of the streets for street railway purposes, and the places In which they were located practically preempted all the principal streets of the city over which a street railway oould be successfully operated.

THE CB^EITY CIRCUS.

THE BIG SHOW ON THE FOURTH OF JU£V?

It Is Rapidly Assnmlaf" Immense Proportions—All Committees Bard at Work, and A Gre#t Suoeeo* Is Assured—Notes of the Big Show.

"The Charity Circus" on July Fourth, is already an assured success. The project Js prodigious»lnd |ts success will be proportionate with its immensity. "The Charity Circus" is given by the gentlemen of rhf* cltyjand aper cent of tbd receipts given St, Anthony's hospital, tbe new Unio1i hospital, Old Ladles' Home, Day Nursery and the Y. M. C. A.

Tbe circus was first^presented in Day ton, Ohio, under thd direction of Harry E. Feicht and so great was Its *ucce»« in that oity that hereafter the 12th of July will be known as 6ba||$y DSy. It drew more strangers to |bat clty ami gave better satisfaction than all the local events combined, in f$et, it was an excellent production and commanded the attention of all classes*

Early last fall, figuring on some en tertainqient for the Fourth of July, a uuuiber of gentlemen concdlved tbe idea of giving the circus performance here with local talent and they entered into correspondence wifh Mr. JFelcht, and after mucl* careful consideration all arrangements were oompieted, and whortiy afterwards a large oomfmlttee of business men, profeeslonSLmen, Skilled artificers, in fact, men of many interests banded together under the leadership of

Martin N. Diall who,

as

c&airman of the

executive 'committee, hatf£forked untiringly for the snjBeese,of tbe circus. Mr. Diall has been ably a^stetfd by Harry Scbloss, tbe secretary executive committee.'

There are over .120 pdrSonfe ion tbe different committees and every one connected with the affair seems, to be enthused, In fact, town has'^one Circus orazy and ourpeoplewm witness, on July 4th, the successful culmination o{' many months of hard work, qh, the part of thos6 engaged in the .affair.

The parade will be one of the grandest ever witnessed In this section, of the coudlry, a?u3f wldl^Vethe sHo^grdtt^ds promptly at 10 o'olock. Many of tbfe merchants and manufacturers will go to considerable expense in having cages built, floats deoorated, and in preparing other features that will make the parade a very striking attraction of the day.

To equal the magnificent parades of many of the great circuses seen here, seems to be an immense undertaking, but from all indications the parade of Terre Haute citizens will in every particular be equally as good and much larger than any oircus parade ev^r witnessed on our streets.

Many people expect to see a "fake" bnt they will be greatly disappointed for when the three immense tents begin to loom up in the distance they wilt then realize what an Immense affair "Tbe Charity Circus'?is for amateurs to undertake.

The side show will be there in all its glory, and if you miss the annex to the big show you will regret having done so. The menagerie will be a "growling'* success. All of tbe cages used In the parade containing burlesque of real animals will be exhibited in the menagerie tents, these with other great features, making you really think you are in a genuine menagerie.

The circus proper will be another big surprise, for the performance, given under tbe mammoth tent, will take place In three rings, a fifty foot stage and the big hippodrome track. Three acts will be going on all the time and a number of startling features will be introduced, inoluding bareback riding, athletic feats, aerial acts, tumbling, hippodrome jookey races, etc.

Four bands will discourse music throughout tbe perfbrmanoe, while a corps of twenty clowns and jesters, under the leadership of Will Parrott, will look after the fun.

Immediately after the big show a refined "vaudeville" entertainment will take plaoe upon a fifty-foot stage. Gentlemanly peahut, lemonade, fan and pop corn vender.! will try and relieve you of ail your loose change, in fact you can expect everything, from shouters on the outside to ticket peddlers on tbe inside.

The country for many miles Is being billed extensively, And from present indications everybody will come to Terre Haute on the Fourth of July to see the circus. Tickets are being placed on sale in different parts of tbe city. All ladies who desire to sell tickets are requested to call at McKeen's bank.

ROTEB.

Merchants who contemplate putting ft cage in the parade should leave their orders for the same at once, as tbe time Is short. A number of cages are already under construction by tbe Terre Haute Carriage and Buggy Co.

All persons who have consented to take part in the Charity Circus performances, concert, and side show are earnestly requested to be present at the meeting next Wednesday evening. All dlowns should secure their costumes, etc., at once.

The great "Jour cornered" track is too well known to re* quire auy praise ber$, and the grounds Are the most beautiful and complete in tbe west. M" f"'-4 Vrak "if'Siaj/ 5

But the three day's' races are not the only attraction offered at this meeting. A special programme has been arranged for tbe Fourth which cannot be "excelled. One of the principal features will be a barbecue, the first one iiFthis region for tnauy years, and it will be free to all on tbe grounds who wish to participate In tbe forenoon there will be a grand balloon asoension by Mons.

The uuisio* for the occasion will be furnished by the famous RlDggold Band. Taken as a whole It will be the greatest FAirtBf of^July at« traction offered In this portion of the oountry In many years. Arrangements have been made for half-fare rates on the railroads on all three duty's-of the meeting, tickets good returning on tbe 5th. The admission has been placed at only 25 cents, whioh should insure an immense attendance.
