The trial was postponed until next Monday.

A very silly story was started Wednesday to the effect that Wm. Winchester, for many years an employe of the Hunter laundering and Dyeing Co., had been discharged, because being a Democrat he had refuted to drive one of the company'* vragon* in the Republican parade on that day. Like a majority of coercion stories that hare been told In the present campaign it was utterly without foundation, and Winchester himself published a denial it. Mr. Hunter wrote a very manly let,*T regarding the story, which is worthy of republishing. He nays: "There is noth

ing on earth I despise more than coercion. The young man is a Democrat and a member of the Jackson club, and has been with me for seven years. I care nothing for a man's politics. Mr. Irwin, who is. a Republican, voluntarily suggested to Winchester that he should not drive lest his friends might say he had to." Snch stories are so foolish that it is to be wonderftd at that persons can be fonnd to tell them.

Edward Burke, a member of the Tool Works Republican club, was badly cut in the face by a young man named William Thomas, at the Faris rally at West Terre Haute Monday night. The difficulty arose over a political discussion. Burke's wounds were serious, but he is said to be out of danger.

His ability and the bravery of the men under him are said to have saved the day to the union forces in the battle at Chickamaugua.

Rev. Lycurgus Kirtley, formerly pastor of the First Baptist church, came over from Peoria Wednesday night to deliver an address at the Tabernacle church. Mr. Kirley has been stationed at Peoria for some time, and although he has a number of calls to other stations, among them, Denver, he prefers to remain at Peoria, where he is pleasantly situated. His eldest son, Howard, graduated from the Peoria High school last June, and is now entered in the academic department of the University of Chicago. While in the city Mr. Kirtley was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Williams, on Chestnut street.

George Scholz, who attained some prominence during the Debs strike as president of the local branch of the A. R. U., attempted to commit suicide Thursday morning, by taking a large dose of Paris green. The attempt was made at his home on south Third street. He was so determined to die that when the physicians were summoned to his assistance he resisted their efforts, and attempted to bite them. He was finally brought out of danger. Scholz has been out of work since the big strike, is very despondent, and lately, it is said, has been drinking more than is good for him in the effort to drown his sorrows.

One bicycle thief, at least, is in the toils, in the person of a stranger named W. H. Miller, who was arrested through the shrewdness of Geo. C. Rossell, from whose establishment the wheel was taken. The wheel was taken Tuesday night while Mr. Rossell was at the Cockran meeting. When he returned to the store and found the wheel missing, he immediately suspected Miller who had been hanging around the place for several days. He traced the man to the Germania hotel, with the assistance of Merchant Policeman O'Reilly, where the wheel was found. Miller confessed his guilt and has been bound over to the Circuit court.

Rev, William Torreuce, of La Crosse, Wis., has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Ceutral Presbyterian church. He will be here on the 7th of November to assume his charge. Rev. Torrence is an old Terre Haute boy, he having received his early education in the ward schools of this place. While in this city he was an intimate friend of James Gordon, manager of A. G. Austin & Co., and studied theology with Mr. Gordon's father, the Rev. T. -P. Gordon, who was then pastor of the First Presbyterian church. After leaving here Mr. Torrence went to Hanover College and later to a theological seminary where he received his degrees. He has held many charges and comes very highly recommended.

Charles F. Crowder and George B. Lockwood, two of the four proprietors of the Daily Tribune, have disposed of their interests in the paper to Messrs. Ernest P. and and Clarence F. Bicknell. proprietors of the Gas City Journal. The change will take place November 1st. Mr. Crowder receives in return for his interest the Gas City Journal, of which he will take personal charge after the election. It is said that Mr. Ixjckwood received $2,500 for his interest in the paper, Messrs. raffia and Six retaining their interests. The new proprietors, like those retiring, are Republicans, and there will 1MSno change in the policy of the paper. Mr. Lockwood who has a well deserved reputation as a brilliant paragrapher, will devote himself for the present to some literary work he has in hand, and after that will probably take tip the study of law at Pern, his old home K. P. Bicknell, one of the new proprietors, is secretary of the state board of charities, and will not remove here for the present.

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 incnrable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore raqnlm* constitutional treatment. Hill's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses frotfi 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

A young business man went home the other evening with a very fine feather duster for his wife, who is a practical housekeeper, albeit she is also a graduate of Vassar and well up in all the isms and ologies of the day. It must be remembered that the conversation which ensued5 was not held in the dark ages, but in the present enlightenment of the nineteenth century. "Here's something you'll appreciate, Maud," he said as he began to undo the numerous wrappings. 'There was only one, and it came over in two ships." "What in the world is it, you dear, old thing?" criedMaud, dancing around him. "Guess, sweetheart." *2 "Oh, I know! It's a new umbrella for my birthday." 'Nothing of the sort Shut your eyes. Now open them. There P'

An immense duster of magnificent peacock feathers, released from its sheath of wrappings, was flourished before the young woman's eyes. She gave one look at it, then burst out crying. "Oh, you cruel boy 1 When you know how u-n-unluoky it is to have peacock feathers in the house, and what dreadful trouble it makes to g-g-ive any one feathers 1" sobbed Maud. "Then you don't want this feather duster?" "r "Not for the world!" "Maud!" "Claude!" "I have a great mind to throw this out of the window." "I wish you would, dear. We'll never have any luok with it in the house."

From Austria comes a curious account of a man suffering from a nervous disease that manifests itself in paroxysms of laughter. The patient, whose case was described before the Psyohiatrio and Neurological society of Vienna, was 30 years of age and had been subject for three years to fits of laughter, which occurred at first every two or three months, gradually increasing in frequency 40 a dozen or more a day. The attacks occurred especially between 9 in the evening and 6:30 in the morning, and in greatest frequency between 5 and 6:30. Some occurred also during the day, however the patient happened to be occupied. In the intervals between the attacks nnd immediately before and afterward the man was perfectly well. The attacks set in with a tickling senBation arising from the toes of the left foot, and the patient wonld fall to the ground unless he could reach some plaoe to lie down. When this feeling reached the level of the left nipple, the patient lost consciousness for a few seconds. Often the patient lay upon his face. The mouth and eyes were closed spasmodically, the eyeballs turned upward, the pupils were dilated and unresponsive to light. At the height of the attack the patient at first smiled, and then laughed aloud without other sign of merriment. The entire attack occupied about two minutes. On two occasions there was protracted loss of consciousness.—Popular Science News.

George Dn M:.%rlcrt Double. Mr. Dn Maurior had a double, and his double was, as many people are aware, Mr. Alma Tadema. So remarkable wus the rescmblanco that even their most intimate friends frequently mistook them.

A certain young lady, however, prided herself that she had no difficulty in determining which was which. On one occasion, finding herself seated next to Du Maurier at dinner, she remarked:

I cannot understand how any one can mistake you for Mr. Tadema. To me the likeness is very slight" Presently she aoded: "By the way, I have a pbotogrnph of you. Do be so good as to put you* autograph to it."

Mr. Du Maurier assenting graciously, the photograph was afterward produced. He looked at it for a moment, sighed and then very gently laid it on tho table. "That," he remarked, "is Mr. Alma Tadema's portrait."—Pearson's Weekly.

One of the most attractive features of the parade on Wednesday was the handsome new delivery wagon of Lawrence Heinl, the popular florist, of Fifteenth and Washington avenue. Mr. Heinl believes in patronizing home industries, and the beautiful wagon so handsomely decorated, that appeared Wednesday was produced by a home company, the Terre Haute Carriage & Buggy Co. The handsome team that was attached to the wagon attracted much attention. Mr. Heinl in this follows his usual rule in business, he has nothing but the very best. He can certainly feel very proud of the attention attracted by his display in Wednesday's parade.

Election returns will be received at The Other Place, corner Ninth and Main streets. Tuesday night by special wire.

Martin HoIIinger.

Martin HoIIinger, candidate for Judge of the Vigo Circuit court on the Populist ticket is a native of Preble oounty, Ohio. In 1886 he came with his people to Terre Haute, and his father began shipping goods to New Orleans by flat-boat. He had engaged in this but a short time, when by accident, he was drowned. Martin then went to Ohio and for six years was untlcr the care of an uncle. At the end of thpt time he returned to Terre Haute and engaged in farming, which he continued until 1862, when he entered the Union Army. He enlisted in Co. G. 85th Indiana volunteers Infantry, under Col. J. P. Baird, and remained in service until the close of the war he was fifty-two days in the Atlanta campaign. He returned to Terre Haute July, 1865, and began the study of law with Judge Mack of the firm of Mack & Smith, and later graduated from the law school at Ann Arbor. He practiced law until 1868 when he was elected County Clerk, with Wm. Stewart, sheriff, the only Democrats elected that year. In 1872 he was re-elect-ed to the same -office. He is a prominent member of Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A. M., a Royal Arch Mason, T. H. Commandery No. 11, E. T., Royal Arcanum, and the Union Veteran Legion. In politics he was a Democrat until 1889 when he joined the Populist party. He has served the public faithfully, and his official career has been above reproach. His business and private relations have been such as to merit the esteem of his fellow-citizens.
