ON THE QUI VIVE1

The experience of the Tern Haute Bed Men daring their recent visit to tafqwtte, where they were treated very ihabbSj, calls to the mind of a gentleman in this city, a similar case in which a Ten® Haute organization was the sufferer several years ago. The other organization wis the MoKeen Rifles, who went up to Lafayette to compete in a prize drill at a soldiers' reunion there. The first prize in the contest was $200, and this the Terre Haute boys won very easily against all competition. When Crawf. McKeen, treasurer of the company, went to the treasurer of the committee and presented his order for the prize money, he was informed that on account of some complications in settling up the affairs of the reunion, it would be impossible to pay the cash over to the winners that evening, but that a draft for the money would be sent to Terre Haute the following day. The following day has not yet arrived, for the Terre Haute company never received its money. It transpired later that the chairman of the committee in charge of the reunion, who had received the cash collected from the business men, was a great lover of the attractive game of poker, and over the festive board he had lost all the cash collected for the payment of the prizes in the competitive drill. The credit of Lafayette was pledged to the payment of these prizes, but the business men of that city never hail enough stamina to again collect and pay the money that had been wasted by their representative, the chairman of the committee. The companies competing went there because it

WHS

announced that the business men of the city were responsible for the prize money, and yet when it was discovered that the chairman of the committee had made away with the money belonging to the prize winners, the business men there didn't have enough energy to attempt to square the matter. When, therefore, the Terre Haute visitors to Lafayette make a "kick" against they way they were treated recently, it can truthfully be said that "there are others." When that is the public spirit manifested by the business men of a city like Lafayette, what wonder can you express that the best map makers of the state of Indiana leave Layfayette off the map. There's where it ought to be.

Q. V.'s comment on politics last week has seemingly aroused interest among the politicians in next year's campaign and the number of candidates who have come to the front during the past week is large. The greatest lyterest seems to center in the oflice of city treasurer, and the candidates for that positiou are thicker than leaves in Vallambrosa. The sheriff's office seems to be fruitful with Democratic candidates, and if Councilman Pat. Walsh captures the nomination for the position he will have to make a hart! tight for it. Jeff Walsh, deputy sheriff, who was once a councilman from the reliably Republican First ward, is a candidate for the place, as is Deputy Sheriff Charles W. Lamb. It is said, on the quiet, that, Head Deputj Tony Frisz would not take to the woods to escajx" having the nomination forced on him. On the Republican side the candidates are even more numerous. The list includes Frank T. Rorgstrom. of tin' Vigo county National bank, E. L. Duddleston, deputy under Treasurer Halch. M. T. Hidden, who was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for county clerk in 1894, Edwin Ellis. Frank Gilman, who was a candidate for the nomination three years ago, and it is whispered that there are possibilities that George\ Buntiu, who was a candidate for county treasurer in IHlfci. and George E. Farrington, the popular secretary of the Vandalia, being numlered among the candidates before the entries close. Next to the treasurer's office there are more candidates in the field for city clerk than for any other office The list includes Will K. Hamilton, who has had charge of the oflice of city clerk for some time past. Other names mentioned for the place are Herbert E. Madison. John

V.

Warren, E. 1*. Westfall and

E. E. Cant well. On the Democratic side the candidates so far mentioned are Jacob J. Truiuet, who was an unsuccessful candidate for representative on the Democratic ticket last fall, M. J. Brophy, who will probably not care for the place if the civil service commission's investigation of his discharge from the postoffice restores him to duty there, and James B. Wallace, who is one of the war horses of the party, and who has aspired to this place several times. Everett Messick, who was elected a member of the city oouucil from the usually reliably Republican Tenth ward, and Charles C. White, the confectioner, are also pronounced candidates for this office, which in the past few years has become more remunerative than in previous years. So far there has been but little announcement of mayoralty candidates, the only avowed candidate who has shied his castor in the ring being, as was said last week, Aleck Crawford, who is out after the place with blood in his eye. Some of Mayor Ross's friends think he would be the KHMt available candidate for the positiou wheu the time for the not.gating convention rolls around, but so far has made no announcement of his purp V* in that direction. In addition to then two the other names that have been ment* tied as possible candidates are ex-Senator V. Bichowsky and ex-Representative Wni H. Berry. There are said to be several candidates for mayor on the Republican side of the present council, although so far as known there have been no announcements as yet. Dr. Young, the Lord Chesterfield

at tiMr eenncil, would not be averse to taldtaff tfc* nomination for mayor, feeling that be could bring to the discharge of its duties a courtliness that would make him famous. Other members of the council whose names have been mentioned in this connection are Lee Goodman, J. B. Fuqua, Herbert Briggs, Dr. Larkins, Henry Graham, Henry Neukom and Joseph Barney. It would not be difficult to select from the present city council a man who would make a capable and creditable mayor, and Mayor Boss's plan of giving each member, Democratic as well as Republican, a chance to preside over the deliberations of that body, may yet develop a presiding officer who can lead his party on to victory with great enthusiasm next spring. On the Democratic side the only names mentioned in addition to that of ex-Council-man Nick Stein are those of Frank Schmidt, Dr. W. H. Roberts, and it is said that the latter's son, Donn, would not be averse to taking the nomination as the representative of the younger element of the party. In the councilmanic campaign but little is being said of candidates, and as is frequently the case the successful men will be sprung on the primaries.

There is great interest here in the mnnicipal campaign in Indianapolis this year, and this interest has been increased on account of the fight being made there by the representatives of the Terre Haute Brewing Company and other outside companies against discrimination by the Taggart administration in favor -of the syndicate breweries there. A public indignation meeting was held there this week, which was promoted by Maurice Donnelly, a well-known Democratic politician, who is the agent for the Terre Haute people. He charged openly, and presented affidavits by reputable authorities, to prove it, that the police department under Taggart openly showed favors to those who used the syndicate beer, while those who sold outside beer were severely punished for the slighest violations of the law in regard to closing hours, etc. If a fight had been made by the outside breweries represented in this city under the last police administration there would have beeu more exciting times than Indianapolis witnessed this week. It didn't set very well to have this sort of treatment in Indianapolis, and it was because so unaccustomed to this sort of work that the protest was probably started by the Terre Haute company's Indianapolis agent. It seems that the fight against the discriminations of the Taggart administration is hurting the Democratic ticket in Indianapolis, and according to the Terre Haute correspondent of the Journal, of that city, Mr. W. O. Fishback, Mr. Taggart has been over here trying to straighten jjp matters with the home brewery.'

Rev. W. H. Hickman is very pronounced in his opposition to church socials that are conducted for the purpose of raising money for the churches. So he said in his address at the First Methodist church last Sunday. That was his last sermon in Terre Haute, and it is to be noticed that he waited until he was ready to leave the city before he announced his radical views on this subject.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY.

Every road is rough to the man with the stone-bruise. It is only in novels that women ever feel unworthy of their husbands.

Love, it is said, makes women heroines it often makes men polt roons. Women bear adversity far better than men, but prosperity not half so well.

The requital of any generous action is the consciousness of its performance. The husband of a shrew becomes either a confirmed misanthrope or a stoical philosopher.

When a girl to 1Q l°ve with one man kisses another she looks over his shoulder.

Most of the men who are going up to Alaska to dig gold want to get it for their wives to spend.

TJje hatred that a country woman gives the neighbor's chickens, in a city woman is given to the janitor.

A man seldom advertises his own good qualities if there be any probability of their discovery by others.

A woman is afraid of men only when she does not know them. The better a man knows women, the more he fears them.

A man quarrels with a woman for the sake of making up again a woman makes up with the man for the sake of quarreling again.

Many persons, absolutely truthful in general, are, in any kind of dispute or controversy that stirs their temper, positively mendacious.

Nothing like an inharmonious, ill-tem-pered wife to make a man acquainted with the worst traits and possibilities of woman's nature.

Many a man's boasted virtues are nothing more than outward regard for mere conventional morality, which seldom acts from within.

Love is a dislemp^vd combination of intense egotism and sympathy hate an active disorder, caused by wounded vanity and supreme selfishness.

Some persons have so uncontrollable a passion to express whatever they feel that they break with their best friends, and make raptures that can never be healed.

Most men know that they could not live with a downright aggressive egotist. But they expect a woman their wife) to live with just such egotists. In complete resignation. without the slightest protest or complaint.

VOL. 28— NO. 9. TERRE HAUTE, LN"D., SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1897.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Women are certainly brave enongh when it comes to suffering in the cause of personal beauty. Every woman, whatever her opinion of beauty in th' abstract* seriously and earnestly desires to be beautiful herself and is willing to endure positive physical torture to achieve the desired results. The one absolute requisite for personal beauty is a clear, fine complexion, which wrinkle must not be allowed to disfigure. And the woman who desires to rid herself of wrinkles, crowsfeet and to generally improve the condition of her facial cuticle, must retreat from the world for a time, enter the abode where beauty, skin deep, is manufactured, and submit toa course of treatment which, as a mere cure for disease, would seem appalling—for it literally means being flayed alive by acids and electricity.

When she emerges with a faultless skin of babish texture she will then begin the study of her features and, if not found satisfactory, they too, in turn, must be doctored. The nose must be straightened by wearing a metal mask, the mouth made the proper artistic size by a surgical operation, and the eyebrows arched to a symmetrical curve.

The triumph of surgery, however, lies in the manufacture of the fascinating dimple and not only is the artiflcia' dimple painful to acquire, but it is more expensive than a tailor gown and spring bonnet combined. Three hundred dollars is the smallest sum for which a new and coquettish dimple can be added to the feminine cheek.

The two greatest difficulties to be encountered iu this remodeling of personal appearance is the reduction of surplus flesh for the fat woman and the creating of adipose tissue for the lean woman. The stout woman who wishes to become graceful and sylph-like must practice a strict diet and undergo a series of daily exercises that will prove a pain as well as a weariness to the flesh while the substitute ing of Venus-like proportions for an emaciated figure is even a oore tedious and difficult task, involving the complete building up of the nervous system and digestive organs.

Enamel is rarely used nowadays by the •most enthusiastic devotee of beauty. Arsenic has also lost its prestige.

The woman who loves beauty, but has not the courage of her convictions to the extent of suffering for the cause, "goes in" for the best possible substitutes—plenty of outdoor exercise, the rule of "early to bed," and a generally normal existence that leaves her nerves uninjured and her disposition unruffled.

Loyalty seems to be one .of the oldfashioned virtues which of late years have become almost obsoleteHfoyalty- to onel&ttt: friend, one's guest, one's host, even tet£e members of one's family. It seems to belong no longer to the ethics of modern life. "Yes, I am very fond of so-and-so" is the usual preface, "but," and then follows the usual criticism, which is generally exaggerated, is often unkind, and almost always gives a disagreeable impression of the person discussed. In old days it used to be considered bad taste to criticise either a guest or a host, but such intimate intercourse nowadays seems only to give an added opportunity for satirical remark.

It is literally true as society is at present constituted that a person who speaks well of friends is voted a bore, while a tongue that spares no one gives its owner a decided popularity. Oddly enough, however, the listeners who enjoy the gossip, which in the nature of things is necessarily illnatured, never seem to realize while they laugh over the shortcomings of mutual acquaintances that they themselves will be the next victims, for it may be taken as a well-proven rule that a person who says sharp things of one friend will not spare another. Every one of us is vulnerable, and if our intimate friends cannot "be to our virtues very kind, and to our faults a little blind," whom can we trust? We shall have to end by "loving our enemies" and praying to be "delivered from our friends," like Job of old.

Women are branching out further and further since the bicycle period begaA, and now another step is taken owing to the riding of the silent steed. It is astonishing to find how many women of all ages and sizes travel in their bicycle suits, not merely when journeying by rail to some good place for biking, but in regions where it isn't even worth while to take their wheel along, and often upon trips where it is just plain traveling, with no intention of settling down anythere. So common has the attire become for tourists that it hardly causes a stare.

Looks of envy from the long-skirted women are about the only demonstration that it calls forth. In a short skirt the traveler can defy rain, weariness, warmth, heavy satchels and pretty nearly every other ill that tourists flesh is heir to. There need be no question about the elegance of the garb. A few inches less of skirt in no way interferes with fit or finish, and as a matter of fact most such suits are the smartest of the smart, bearing the irreproachable tailor stamp. It is noticeable that the wearers are invariably women distinguished by an expression of great good sense. They are not the strong-minded or radical sort at all, but they are plainly women with minds of their own, and pretty contented minds, too.

Average women are utterly lacking in gratitude. This sweeping statement is made from personal observation and per­

IlIitiaiKSlfc

sonal experience. Women do not mean to be ungrateful, but they area thoughless lot, and a day after a great service has been rendered them it somehow becomes deadened into the mistiest sort of a memdry, and though they intended to be oh, so everlastingly grateful, they forget all about their emotion of that character, and rather take kindnesses shown them, favors bestowed upon them and service rendered them quite as their right and natural due, and grow decidedly cross and ugly when a hundredth service is denied them, retaining no memory of the ninety and nine f-ivors that have been their pfettion formerly.

When one does discover a grateful woman she appears to be a veritable rara avis and is regarded as possessing an unusually fine character, whereas she only has the decency to be properly appreciative. Men are largely responsible for this defect in woman's make-up. They flatter her into the belief that nothing on earth is good enough for her, and then growl when they have so far succeeded in convincing her that their views are the right ones, that she demands more than they can give and isn't thankful for the many favors they do bestow upon her.

Let us whisper to the vain little potentates that they cannot always rule with the high-handed insolence of youth and beauty, and it is well to cultivate a characteristic of appreciation, so that what they cannot demand will be meted out in tlje true spirit of friendliness and humanity. The day may come when, on a bed of illneSS, you are left to the mercies of strangers, your own kith and kin either having died or deserted y6u. Then it is that the spirit of gratitnde comes in particularly strong and apropos. Again, if a man whom you are sure is in love with yon shows some specially kind attention, do not take it too much for granted. He will appreciate your telling him that you are grateful for his thoughtfulness, that you fully realize the pains and expense he has been put to to give you pleasure. He may laugh and pooh pooh it—declare he has done nothing—and in other ways try to show his masculine .indifference to trifles, but he likes it—remember that. Everyone likes gratitude, and it is a quality worthy to be cultivated as the rarest flower in the garden of woman's nature.*-

ft appears that the dainty, fragilelooking young woman is no longer fashionable. The tall, sUaight Junoesque girl is in ttie lead, broad shoulders, strong limbs, feet that wear shoes as large as Nos. 4 and 5, a Venxts de Milo waist and a general air of robust healt, that suggests freedom from aches and pains, and clear active brain. A generous diet of rich, good milk, brown bread, butter, baked potatoes, steak, soft-boiled eggs, a little reshf «ipartrq|£ and unlimited fresh air and exercise are said to bring about this very desirable state of being, to say nothing of good, sound sleep and an unvarying bed-time of 10 o'clock.

The Llttlb Things In Life. It is the sundries in household expenses that bring the expenses up to such giant proportions, and it is the moral sundries that swell the gross amount till the overlooking world refuses to pass the leaf as good, well-kept moral arithmetic. There is that bad habit of unpunctuality of refraining to answer letters till too late of delay in answering invitations of breaking an engagement already made withont good and valid reason why of breaking in on your companion's words, and either finishing the sentence for him or saying something quite different of not attending to what is said to you, but letting your eyes rove all round the room, plainly showing that your ears are as inattentive as your eyes are discursive of flat conti«idiction, unsoftened by a gentle manner or a polite regret of talking during a meal so that the food on your plate gets cold while your polite listener comes in for the same gastronomic penace of pumping up enthusiasm which does not exist, of turning everything into a joke, whereat the unhappy listener is expected to laugh of making vile puns without point or wit— these and a thousand other misdemeanors of the same kind go down in this lump sum of Sundries, and the lump sum is a formidable one when the whole is reckoned up. In a word, in morals, as in pecuniary expenditure, that old advice "to take care of the pence, when the pounds will take care of themselves," is about the wisest that can be given. The small beginnings of bad habits can be easily checked but once given time to root and flourish, they are difficult indeed to eradicate. And we need not console ourselves by thinking that the items are really too insignificant to care about. Many a pickle makes a mickle, and the item of sundries is like so much conglomerate or breccia—the individual pieces small, but the concrete mass a compactly welded marble.

PEOPLE AND THINGS,

All the human beings that ever lived could find standing room in Pennsylvania. "Uncle Tom's cabin" has been selected by Antonin Dvorak as the subject of an opera.

Prof. Falb, of Vienna, fixes the extinction of the human race for Nov. 18. 1809. On that day the earth is to- come into collision with a comet, and everybody will be poisoned by gas and burnt to death.

Hans Wiseman, a famous Nebraska pioneer, is said to have killed in the course of his life over 100 Indians. He lives near Hartington, Neb., and is now about SO years old. About 35 years ago, when Wiseman was in the army, Indians murdered his five children, and for years afterward no Indian dared come within range of his rifle.

During the fiscal year ended June 30 last, the value of bicycles exported was 17,005,323, against $1,898,012 during the preceding year. Of this large total Great Britian took 12,375,000 worth and Germany $1,025,000 worth. The rest literally went to every part of the world. This large sale was due to the fact that the best wheels are made in the United States.

W. E. B. DuBois, a colored man, has been appointed professor of economics and history in Atlanta University, an institution for advanced education of his race. He is a graduate of Harvard and from that institution received the degree of Ph. D. He spent two years studying in Germany, and is the author of many papers dealing with the race queston.

Perspiration from a healthy man when injected into a dog will kill him in from one to three days. The dose is 15 cubic centimetres to each kilogram of dog. The effect is also fatal on rabbits, though they require a larger dose, 25 cubic centimetres. Sweat secreted during severe muscular labor is from one-fourth to one third more poisonous. Such are the results of experiments by M. Arloing, communicated to the Paris Academy of Sciences.

If American hens should strike and refuse to lay eggs, this couutry would lose $165,000,000 a year. That is as much as all the wheat of Minnesota, North and South Dakota would be worth at one dollar per bushel. In addition to that the chicken meat produced annually amounts to $125,000,000, making a total value for our chicken industry amounting to $290,000,000. There are five times as many hens as there are people in this country, and more roosters than statesmen.

HARRISON PARK CASINO.

THK OLYMPIA COMPANY NEXT WEEK.

The popular Jay Circus will close at the Casino to-night, and to-morrow night Daly's Olympia vaudeville oompany will open for a week's engagi&nent.^^he company is very strong, and includes the following well-known stars: The Renfos, aerialists supreme the three Albions, acknowleged emperors of comedy Lizzie and Vini Daly, the only female grotesques Val Vousden, the man of many faces Miss Kittie Smith, transformation dancer, and Ben Thompson, the monologue comedy delineator. Such a list of names should be sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the programme the patrons of the Casino may expect next week.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

The popular Al. G. Fields' Minstrels will appear at the Casino on September 8th. and the advance sale of seats will open at Buntin's on Wednesday morning next. It is stronger this year than ever before and has a number of startling novelties.

Baldwin's Comedians will appear at Casino on the 5th of September. Hoyt's Milk White Flag is one of the attractions booked by Manager Dickson, of the Casino, for the near future.

The Vigo County Fair.

From present indications the fair of the Vigo County Agricultural Society next week will be the most successful of recent years. The only thing that can prevent its success will be a spell of bad weather, and the weather prophet Hicks promises good weather for this region next week. The attractions this year are more than ordinarily interesting, and the bicycle races on Wednesday give promise of drawing more people than usually visit the fair. The W. C. C. managers this week received word from the state racing board of the League of American Wheelmen that the state championship race which was not decided at the meeting here this month would be run during the fair races, and the entries to it indicate that there is to be quite a contest for the honor of wearing this championship medal. Anton Hulman and Hal Dronberger, who captured the most of the prizes in the recent meet, are both entered in this race, and the contest will no doubt be very exciting. There are numerous other races on that day, and the list of entries shows that the spprt will be as interesting as during the recent meet, when the races were pronounced the best that had been given under League auspices this year. There is great interest in these races, and the attendance will no doubt be large. Other interesting features have been secured, and the night fair, with the stands, booths and halls fully illuminated, will attract many who are unable to attend the fair during the day. On Thursday evening, an exhibition drill will be given by Terre Haate Division, No. 8, Uniform Rank, Knight# of Pythias, and it is likely that this will attract a good attendance on that occasion. The company haaa national reputation, and has

1

TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR

been drilling nightly in anticipation of this exhibition. Co. B., the local militia company, which returns to-morrow from a visit to the Nashville exposition, where it has been in a camp for a week, will also give an exhibition at the grounds on Wednesday evening. The other features of the fair have not been neglected in the effort to secure these special attractions, and the attendance next week will no doubt be much larger than usual. The directors of the fair association are certainly deserving of encouragement in their efforts tp give a first-class fair here. Year after year they have put forth their best efforts to furnish a good fair to the people of Vigo county, but in recent years they have met with but little encouragement. It is to be hoped that the people will turn out this year and give them the attendance they deserve. The fair will be first-class, and should be well attended.

Man—Proud Man.

The man who wants the earth invariably gets it—when he dies. Men and watches are judged by their works—both have wheels.

If some men should lose their reputation they would be lucky. A man isn't always cool when he shivers in the hour of danger.

A crank is a man who has a different hobby than your own. No gentleman will swear before a lady. Let her swear first.

Some men rob themselves when they call others hard names. Some men are so modest that they shun the naked truth.

Some men have a gallon of words to every spoonful of thoughts. The more a man has the more he wants—unless it should happen to be twins.

A man always puts his best foot forward a mule puts his backward. Some men are so dignified that they never unbend until they are broke.

Men are like chickens they always want to get on the highest roost. Some men seem to have been made out of dust that had gravel in it.

Most men are ready and willing to die for their couutry—of old age. It never cools a man off when the street sprinkler throws water on him.

The man who attends strictly to his own business has a good, steady job. Giving a man advice and throwing stones at a dog have about the same effect.

The man who beats the bass drum should never be encouraged to beat the, record.

A man smiles when you speak of his level head, but call it flat and he gets mad.

A man's body may be an earthly tenement, but he objects to being called a fiat. The trouble with a great many men is, that you can't depend on what they say. •The mission of the masher is to show., what a man was before he became a man.

How little a man knows of his countrywomen—unless he lives in a country village.

The more rapidly a man goes, the more likely he is to be overtaken by misfortunes. A man may never tell what he will do in case of a pinch, unless a policeman pinches him.

Man is made of dust and along comes the watering cart of fate, and his name is Mud.

Like Mistress, Like Maid." It is said: That a girl who is trim about herself is apt to be efficient in her work.

That there is nothing so typical of the housekeeper as the appearance of the maid.

That, on the other hand, the untidy maid prepares you for every evidence of lax housekeeping, and you are seldom disappointed.

That untidy linen, soiled hands, greasy clothing never belong to the woman who is mentally clean, no matter how much drudgery falls to her lot.

That no thoroughly good mistress of the home will allow her maid servant to go about with a frowsy head, torn dress or shoes down at the heels.

That the Phyllis, who opens the door for you or attends to your wants and wishes within the gates, is a true index of the sort of woman who employs her.

That slovenly help is certain to be poor, for ability and slovenliness rarely go together, though a few misguided mortals are under the impression that such is the case in a literary union.

That if a smooth-haired, white-capped, fresh-looking girl receives your card at the door you are almost certain to see a charming interior arranged in excellent taste and free from all evidences of dust and disorder.

That little things that indicate character in individuals are as certain sign posts of merit and demerit in others. The clean sidewalk, the tidy back yard, as well as the immaculate front lawn, bespeak the order within the house, and consequently the sort of woman who rules there.

That a bright, active mind requires bright, active body a bright active body, in turn, must have a house in keeping and he surrounded only by the other bodies equally neat and trim therefore, it does not take long to draw the inference from the maid as to the sort of woman she lives with.
