MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Allie Aastin, the young sculptor, has made a bast of Eugene Debs which unquestionably is the best work he has done The pictures and busts of Debs commonly seen are likenesses only in the sense of reproducing bis singular features, but the expression of the man is lacking. He has thin lips, and it is difficult to gire a pleas•«&nt expression to a face with thin lips. It in overcoming this difficulty that the

Jmung Terre Haute artist has been re%iarkably successful. It is said the youth is just as devoted to his art as When he first began "modeling in mud." He not only has genius, but that other quality sometimes described as genius, "the infinite capacity for taking pains." He ^khows what it is to apply himself to a 'task.

The Travelers' Protective Association has begun active work in the effort for legislation in the several states to make ithe passenger fare on all roads two cents a mile. At the time of the national convention in this city last June it was decided to make the effort, but no plan of campaign was then given to the public. It seems that there was then a chance the railroads would restore the interchangeable mileage book, with conditions such as would prevent its transfer. A short time before the convention the traffic ybssociation had refused to reconsider its action in withdrawing the 1,000 mile book, but intimated that a 5,000 mite book, with photograph of the purchaser and diher safeguards against transfer, might be issued. The traveling men did not like this very well, because it meant a considerable outlay of money for a man whose territory was large. But, I understand that after the convention they were willing to accept the 5,000 mile book. Then the companies declined to make good the unofficial offer made at the Chicago meeting of the traffic association, and the traveling men began arranging for the fight for two-cent laws in the states. The traveling men assert, and with a good deal of evidence to bear out their statement, that the roads are manifesting a spirit of prejudice toward them. They resent the imputation that as a class they sold the books to ticket brokers, and retort that the roads themselves were selling to scalpers. They point to the fact that the roads sell what is in effect interchangeable mileage to theatrical parties at less than two cents a mile, although the show people may not travel over the roads more than once a year, whereas the commercial traveler makes monthly, if not weekly, trips.

The first work to get the two-cent law is the circulation of petitions asking support of the measure by the various candidates for the legislature. These petitions, are being placed in the stores and public places and circulated by individual commercial travelers. In a short time they will be presented to the candidates. "When the legislatures meet this winter in the various state capitals they will find committees of traveling men on hand to see that the promises of the campaign are complied wit h. In these petitions it is briefly stated that the railroads can better afford to carry passengers at two cents a mile uow than they could at throe cents twenty years ago, because of the great reduction in the cost of construction and operation. I asked a railroad man if that is not a good point, and he said the traveling men of to-day would not ride in cars such as were furnished twenty years ago. In many ways the accommodations are far superior to what they used to be. Then as tn the matter of time the roads are at a heavier expense to provide track and equip nifiit to make schedule time.

The commercial travelers will exert a big influence on the candidates for the legislature by reason of the fact that the vot- of the traveling men is concentrated in the cities in which a majority of the members of the legislature are elected. In this state, for instance, perhaps one-half the members of the legislature will be voted for by the traveling men in fifteen cities where there are T. P. A. posts. For instance, in Terre "Haute there are between :H* and 400 traveling men who will vote for three representatives and one senator. That the railroad companies do not like tln outlook is undoubtedly true. At the be-s it will a use a big expense for them in the lobbies at the state capitals. They will W bled right and left by the lobby black mailers. So it is that they are sure losers whatever may be the result of the traveling men's war on them.

Morton C. Rankin is to be credited with .predicting weeks in advance about every step that has been taken in the Democratic and Populist campaign programme. Indeed, before the St. Ijouis convention he outlined exactly what afterward was done. I printed several interviews with him in which he said Bryan would be nominated, but that instead of Sewall a southern man the St. I.«ouis' convention's canfor vice-president. At every stage the negotiations for fusion, in this and tlier states, he has told in advance what nhl lo done and explained how certain oh-t.-H'les would have to be overcome. Three weeks ago he said In the end the Populists would have five and the Democrats ten elector* on the fusion'ticket in tlii- suite and told of ihe fiasco effort to briai? it about whkSi occurred a week pn iictinii that the clement in the ptrty wnsc'i wanted to continue the miduieofth'- ro:ul progrnmnv* even at the exjx-nse defeating Bryan and tve silwr. would h«v to handle! casv'"n!!. played with ,i fisherman doe* a There was even a deeper significance in the action of tie* Populists at liuiiannpolU a wcvk win a they divided to put up a V.e eo tor.il ticket It is for effect on Na?iaas i,ml Colorado, whetv the Populist- had inveigled into surrendering all the tors to get their own candidate* for s'e an 1 local oftioes. The middle-of'ih* r*.» attitude of the Indiana Populist* was to :dd in the effort to undo what had been (l.m in the wo win tern states, and make the lVputUt» out there feel that the hud thrown nviif too much of their strength at the hohwt of Tmu Puttemn. Wearer «ial. Now, with the new deal ia thl* state

wtfuld be dilate for

,4u8

it is seen that the Populists are the ones whq are terms. Rankin's attitude all along been that the Popnlists could afford to stand their ground that the Democrats were the ones to walk the floor. He said, immediately after the St. Louis convention, that the national executive committee of the Populists would not do anything for a few weeks, but would writ until the Democrats came to a realization of the fact that they were the ones who had everything to lose and nothing to gain by avoiding fusion. The Democratic national leaders were then pooh-poohing the idea that they would fuse on the electoral tickets, but they have been doing it at a lively rate during the past month, and the Indiana bosses have received orders to concede the point in this state regardless of the state ticket.

There is no mistaking the fact that the Democrats are much discouraged at present. The newspapers are now drawing a parallel with the Greeley campaign which started much in the same manner as did the Brya* furore. Greeley also had great audiences throughout the country and he delivered some wonderfully effective speeches, far above those of Bryan in thought and statesmanship. It was at about this stage of the campaign, the first of October, that the Greeley boom began collapsing. There is one fact, however, which is not commented on. That is that a number of the leading and influential newspapers in the country were supporting Greeley, whereas Bryan has not the support of a single paper east of the Mississippi which is of national influence or reputation. On the other hand hard times are helping JBryan, whereas times were good in 1872. Bryan as the candidate of the "against" party, and that term fits as regards both the Republicans and the Cleveland administration, has that natural following of people who believe their troubles are caused by the policy of the party in power. I find that Democrats are more or less freely admitting that the "gold" wave, as they call it, is now passing over the country, but with the air of the man whistling in the graveyard they predict the return of the silver wave. Representative men of the party tell their friends that it is about an even thing in Indiana now, which Is a let-down from 50.000 for Bryan claimed a month ago. They express apprehension about the corrupt use of money by the Republicans and in the next breath deplore the fact that they are short of cash.

It would not be a very strrnge situation if by election day the silver wave shall have topped the Allegheny mountains and be rushing down the Atlantic slope, so to speak, while out here in Indiana, where it came like a storm in the night, nothing more than the normal amount of free silver coinage sentiment will be in evidence at the polls.

The Democratic expectation is for a revival of the silver sentiment in this part of the country on the return of Bryan from the east. The wonder is that the man has held up this long, and it will not be surprising any day to read in the dispatches that he has broken down and abandoned the stumping tour. A Washington correspondent of a Chicago news paper, a Republicart himself, who was here a few days ago, who knows Bryan well and has traveled with him, told me that he has remarkable physical strength and a temperament which is admirable for such a stumping tour. He does not fret. He can eat anything and at any odd time, and sleep whenever he gets a chance to lie down, or for that matter can do so sitting up, at will, if he be not disturbed. Still, he has a month's programme ahead of him which, added to what he has already undergone, is enough to prostrate a dozen relays of fresh men. This Washington correspondent also said, what in fact everyone else says who knows Bryan personally, that he is sincere, that he is hoping for the milleniumtocome with the success of each new issue he takes upThere Is nothing of the cunning demagogue in him. He and Altgeld are as unlike as two men could be. As a matter of fact Altgeld has the better intellect, but Is wholly lacking in the sincerity of Bryan who makes of every man who comes to know him his personal friend.

Senator Voorhees arrived home Thurs day night comiug by the way of Chicago from Mackinaw. He was accompanied by his son, Mr. Reese Voorhees, who is a practicing lawyer in Washington, and his daughter, Miss Hallie Voorhees. The senator has been very ill but his son says it is hoped that he will soon be able to take an outing and that permanent recovery will follow.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a' local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Cata rrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cum "s*ml for circulars and testimonials. Ad-

AUTUMN STYLES.

Grays and mixtures of black and white will be extremely fashionable throughout the autumn, but later on they will give place to warmer colorings.

A silk waist that has begun to show the ravages of time may have its days lengthened by covering it smoothly with open grass linen embroidery, and putting in puffed sleeves of the same goods.

Pearls are the fad of the hour. Every debutante of any social account has one or two strings, costing $1,000 or $2,000, but the society matrons indulge in great ropes of them, to which they are continually adding.

A pretty disign in waists revives the old-fashioned Russian style, giving a dou-ble-breasted effect. It was caught at the neck in military style, at two points, and at the side just over the belt which gives a smart appearance, and is readily adjusted.

The lovely tea-rose tints on pink and yellow will be highly favored for handsome evening toilets for autumn and winter, both in heavy silks, brocades and satins, and in the beautiful diaphanous textiles. The lighter daintier dyes will be first choice, but the deeper colors in buttercup, jonquil, maize, and even orange will be in evidence.

A Lost Speech.

"My funniest experience," said Gen. Russell A. Alger, "during a campaign was not on the stump, although immediately connected with the stump. I had neglected to prepare my speech, and thinking it best to jot down a few notes, I went to the stenographer at my hotel and asked her to take my dictation. She asked whether I wanted it taken direct on the machine. I thought that way would be as good as any other, and began dictating. She went right ahead, but, as I was in the midst of my peroration, she burst into tears. I wondered why my eloquence had been so melting, and asked what was the matter. 'Would you mind speaking that all over again?' she said, with eyes full of tears. 'I forgot to put any paper in the machine.'"

Trustee A. M. Higgins reported to the court this week the result of the inventory as the assets of the Terre Haute Carriage & Buggy Co. The assets are shown to be 138,806.49. By careful management it is hoped that the assets will be made to cover the liabilities, many of the creditors showing a disposition to put the company on its feet again. It is to be hoped that the effort will prove successful, and that this enterprise, which has done so much to advertise Terre Haute and its products, will be able to resume business under the most favorable auspices.

Those Who Die of Old Age. Only 906 persons in 1,000,000, according to medical authority, die from old age, while 1,200 succumb to gout, 18,400 to measles, 2,700 to apoplexy, 7,000 to erysipelas, 7,500 to consumption, 48,000 to scarlet fever, 25,000 to whooping cough, 30,000 to typhoid and typhus and 7,000 to rheumatism. The averages vary according to locality, but these are considered pretty accurate as regards the population of the globe as fyjvhole.

Dandruff is due to an enfeebled state of the skin. Hall's Hair Renewer quickens the nutritive functions of the skin, healing and preventing the formation of dandruff.

School Shoes.

The paramount question with every father is how to keep his children in shoes at the last possible cost. There is one man iu the city who can answer the question satisfactorily, and that is A. H. Boegeman, the south Fourth street shoe man. He has a splendid line of first class shoes that he is selling at reasonable prices, and the parent who is looking for bargains in this line can do no better than call on him. His goods tire all reliable and their worth coupled with the price makes it of peculiar interest to every man who has little feet to shoe.

Chilly Mornings

Like we are having are suggestive of stoves, and when it comes' to stoves there is no place in the city so attractive in the stove line as Zimmerman's Stove Store. The stoves both Heating and Cooking, are right and so are the prices, and when you get a stove this fall the place to go is Zimmerman's.
