Vol. 26—No. ON THE QUI VIVE.

This has bOen a rather uneventful week in city affairs. No new suits were brought against the city on account of the defective work of »he city engineer.

Now that the season for ice water has passed and Dr. Young can no longer push his scheme for having ice water furnished the children of the public schools, he can turn his attention to having hot beef tea served to all of them during the winter.

gammy Rothschild is the boy to knock the spots off "Old Hy." He went up against the game last week to the tune of a couple of hundred dollars, and then he didn't do a thing butsue Billy Becker for his two hundred simoieons, claiming that the game keepers monkeyed with the dice and thus beat him out of his money. He got judgment against Becker, who appealed it to the Circuit court, and there will no doubt be some funny testimony when the case comes up for trial. No real dead game Terre Haute sport will let an outsider get the best uf him if he can possibly prevent it, even if it becomes necessary to go to the courts to carry his point.

Politics are beginning to sizzle already in anticipation of the warm campaign outlined for next year. A meeting of the Republican state and advisory committee is to be held next week to disouss the plan of reorganizing the county and

state

oommUtees in December next instead of in January, as ha9 been customary for many years. Here in Vigo oounty there Is talk of forming the new oounty committee, and many names have been suggested for next year's chairman. Among those whose names have been used in this connection are W. W. Hauck, ex-city treasurer, L. L. Williamsou, superintendent of the water works ompany, James E. Piety who was chairman in the last oampalgn, Joshua T. Orandelll, who was secretary at the same time, Otto O. Carr, township assessor, and H. H. Boudlnot, who is an old campaigner of some note. The success of Taggart in the Indianapolis election makes it very likely that he will be ii of next year, and Republicans throughout the state are being flooded with circulars advocating the oalms of various candidates for the Republican nomination. Politics in Indiana next year will be livelier than ever before known, and with W. R. McKeen as a oandldate for senator Vigo county will be the hotbed of enthusiasm.

The arrest of Rlcketts, the Illinois man, for raising an order of the trustee of Nevins township for school supplies, is likely to develop into something sensational before the investigation is finished. Rlcketts, who stands high in educational olrcles in eastern Illinois, Is no fool, and he did not go into a soheme of that kind unless there was something in it. Trustee Boatmau, whose warrant he raised from $390 to $590, has refused to sign the affidavit of information against him, and this lends strength to the susploion that there is a great deal more in the matter than shows on the surface. The public need not be surprised if this Rlckett* matter develops one of the biggest sensations of the year.

W. R. McKeen, Ben Havens, Robert Oeddes, D. W. Mlnshall, W. P. IJams and the other gentlemen who are interested in the People's Telephone Company, ought to remove to Chicago, and apply for a charter for a telephone system here. If they llvod outside the oity they would be very likely to get it.

Qeorge H. 8lmpson, the well known engineer of this city, is another Terre Hautean who will have to remove from here in order to "get in the swim." The council committee on sewers and wharves did not permit him to bid on the plans for the new belt sewer because.* according to the original resolution such bids are to be solicited only from ••engineers of national reputation." That explanation is very complete and exhaustive, and settles to the entire satisfaction of everybody concerned that there was nothing personal in the movement to rule Mr. Simpson out.

Rev. R. V. Hunter Is to preach a sermon to printers to-morrow night, and as he has interested printers and newspaper publishers more than any other clergyman ever did in this city, he should be able—and will be—to say something that will interest them. The time was when printers were looked upon as the most depraved class of beings in existence—and, to tell the truth, they were deserving of a great deal of oensure. Whenever there was any row dyism in progress it was almost a sure thing that the printer* were in it. Bat to-day it is different. There Is no more orderly, deoent class of workmen than the printers. They have more to do with the real progress of science, literature and religion than all the "deep thinkers" in exts tens, and all the type-setting machines in the world cannot deprive the prtfiter of the distinction of being the only representative of an art that is preservative of all art*.

"BONNIE SCOTLAND."

A production that will befioely staged, magnificently costumed and cleverly acted, with the prestige of hucoess, will be seen at Nayi«rV»p*r*hou»e to night, wheu Stdtiey It. BIH*' romantic drama, "Bonnie Scotland/' is presented. There is probably no plaoe in Scotland more romantic and picturesque than the environment of Arroquhar castle in Dumbartonshire. Nature, seemingly by special favor, has bestowed with lavish haud her fairest charms, while the country round is full of literary and historical interest It is amid these localities, rich with legendary lore and historical recollections, that the action of Sidney Bills' picturesque and romantic play, "Bonnie Scotland," occurs. The story told repeats historical episodes of the deepest interest. To properly present "Bonnie Scotlaud," Manager Ellis has engaged a company of dramatio artists of unusual strength, and to give the proper local coloring has also engaged a band of royal bag pipers, a oorps of Scotoh dancers, aud a quartette of Scotoh singers. The play itself is a reflex of i^l that is romantic, picturesque and interesting in the land of the thistle, a blending of light and shade, with an all-per-vading heart interest that will appeal with exceptional force to all lovers of the good and the beautiful in dramatio art. The comedy element introduces the quaint personages characteristic of*tbe Scottish people who dwell on the highlands, whose hearts, true as steel to their masters, know no guile, whose lives are as free and pure as the crisp mountain air they breathe. The entire production will show an attention to detail and a regard for the unities that will in itself be a noteworthy departure from the happy-go-lucky manner of some^ recent dramatio productions.

CONTBKNO'S

BAND.

Next Monday evening at Naylor's Opeia House will occur the musical event of the season. On this occasion Conterno's Ninth Regiment Band will render a most pleasing programme. There are forty

great

instrumentalists in

this organization. Of these nine are soloists of acknowledged merit. John Hazel,

a rival in the United States, not excepting Levy. He has received the most flattering enconlums from the press of every olty in which he has played. Then besides him are others, chief of whom, is Signor V. Sanna. The pecul-

iarity about this Military Band and Concert Organization is its extraordinary precision. This is noticed always in its playing of any of the great overtures of the olasslcal masters. There is not a flaw, or the eighth of interval rest noticeable in the volume of tone at any point. Another feature of the band's work is its remarkable familiarity with all classes of music. The programme will show that the selections are taken from the works of composers of every race and school. The American writer of to-day if represented and has as honorable a position upon Conterno's programme, as Wagner, Rubenstein or Verdi.

In addition to the foregoing characteristics of Conterno's Band are those which specifically belong to the very best kind of military band. To the more explicit it would be proper to say, that this band which is known as the famous Ninth Regiment band of New York, is by long odds the best player of march, quick-step, dashing, dance, spirited music in America.

THE 8POONKK COMKDV OO.

The favorite oomedienne and dancer, Cecil Spooner, supported by her excellent high class company, will open a three night engagement at Naylor's opera house commencing Wednesday, Oct. 16th, in a repertoire of oomedles. The opening bill, "The Circus Girl," is one of the most successful comedies on the road and, has been acoorded the highest praise of the entire press from the river to the western coast. The play is a New England oomedy written in three acta on modern lines and deals with an honest old farmer and a little girl who has run away from a circus. The play Is nloely staged and an abundanoe of pure, neat comedy runs through the entire piece. The specialty work will be one of the strong features. Miss Cecil as a dancer has earned a reputation seoond to none in Amerioa. On Thursday night the bill will be C, E. Callahan's four act oomedy, "The Buckeye,' made famous by Liacle Evans. Cecil will be seen In the great soubrette part of "Mary Jane," the orphan asylum waif. Tills part is well suited to her as it gives her a splendid opportunity to Introduce her specialty work. On Friday night the bill will be "little

Mab" a companion piece to "little

Lord Fauntleroy'* written'by the same author and dramatised especially for Cecil from Mrs. Burnett's celebrated story of "Sara Cru." On the opening night (Wednesday) Miss Cecil will Intro* duce her wonderful KaleidoeQQpi&danoe

A leading American theatrioal manager, who is now'fulfilling an important engagement at San Franoiscp with a oompany inoluding three or four "stars," has hit upou some curious devices wherewith to prevent envy, hatred, malltse and all uncharitableness occurring between these rival "stellar attractions." On his programmes he has the oast printed in cylindrical form, so that there may be no apparent beginning or ending while the poster* for outdoor use have the "stars'" names arranged lengthwise. ..
