OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Patrons of the insurance companies in this city were this week treated tp the unusual proceeding of a volunteer reduction in insurance rates. The unprecedented reduction is said to be due to the fight for bnsiness made by the companies not in the big insurance pool. The reductions made are as follows: Reduction of ten cents on the $100 on dwellings and contents and private barns In connection therewith, provided no brick dwelling shall be rated at less than 80 cents, and no frame dwelling at less than 40 cents. Reduction of 15 cents on churches, school honses and other public buildings and contents, excepting work houses, county poor houses and asylums, provided no rate on building or contents shall be less than 60 cents. Reductions of 15 cents on brick mercantile buildings, not on contents, occupied solely for mercantile office, public hall and dwelling purposes.

The mystery regarding the disappearance of the two sons of Capt. W. P. Tomlinson, of this city, in Old Mexico, two years ago, has not been solved, despite the efforts of Congressman Faris, the officials of the state department at Washington, and Minister Clayton, of Mexico. Capt. Tomlinson has received from the state department the voluminous correspondence with the various Mexican officials, but there is nothing in it that furnishes any data regarding the death of his sons.

Judge David W. Henry celebrated his forty-flfth birthday on Sunday last, and two days later received the official announcement from the internal revenue department of his appointment as revenue collector from this district. His commission will be sent him as soon as he makes out and forwards to the department at Washington his bond as collector in the sum of $100,000, together with a bond to $10,000 as disbursing agent. It is expected that all these preliminaries will be arranged in time for him to enter upon the discharge of his duties on the 6th of November, which is the date of the expiration of Judge Jump's term. An agent of the department" will be 'sent on from Washington to make ,the formal transfer to the new official when the date has been determined. Oliver M. Tichenor, of Princeton, who is to be deputy collector, was in the city this week in consultation with the collector-to-be. He is looking for a house and will move to this city with his family as soon as possible. His wife has many friends here, having formerly been a student at St. Mary's. She is a granddaughter of the late Governor "Blue Jeans" Williams. Judge Henry is not yet informed as to the number, of appointments he will be permitted to make, several recent decisions of the United States courts having an important bearing on this matter. He will have uo trouble, howover, in securing men to fill all the appointments open to him. His time Is taken up now, when not occupied on the bench, in answering letters making applications for positions.

Dr. J. R. Willis, the well-known north aide physician, is beginning the erection of a r«sidence at the corner of Thirteenth and Buckeye streets, that will be the pride of the north end. It will have twelve rooms, the walls of brick veneer, the brick being brown, mottled with red spots, and are now being burnt to order. The residence will cost about $8,000, and will not be completed until next spring.

The plant of the Terre Haute Mam-{ac-taring Co., with the exception of the al •state and the manufactured bicycles on hand, was sold at publio auction last Saturday afternoon, to George H. Prescott, formerly master mechanic of the Van-

1J IS EASY TO TELL. People who fall to look after their health are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick" have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the cause of your sickness

It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling Indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine steloa linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or doll ache in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

There is satisfaction in knowing that the great remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Rootf fulfills every wish in relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Hoot give new life and activity to the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by treating the kidneys It acta as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Root it cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty twata and one dollar, or by sending your address and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, X.

dalia, and one of the promoters in the organization of the company, for #17,441. It is said that Mr. Prescott simply represented local capitalists, who will in turn dispose of the plant to eastern parties, and it will be removed from here. The build Mg, which is appraised at $16,000, has a mortgage of $18,000 on it, In favor of McKeen & Co., while the bicycles on hand are appraised at aboat $7,800. A Chicago department store is after the bicycles.

The sqnare on Sixth street between College and Washington avenues is grehtly to be improved next year by the erection of handsome residences. H. I. Miller, superintendent of the Yandalia, has purchased the lot adjoining Col. Thompson's, and will put up a $15,000 bouse. Prof. Howard Sandisort will build on his lot on the corner opposite the Washington avenue church, and now J. M. Tune, the clothier, has purchased from Mrs. Brokaw one of the lots south of the Brokaw residence and will build there. It is said that Julius Meinecke will also purchase a lot there on which to erect a fine house. ,..

'A team belonging to S. J. Fleming? the liveryman, this week broke the runaway record of the world. The team was standing with a hack in the rear of Gelsselbrecht's theater on Main street just east of the E. & T. H. road on Wednesday night, and becoming frightened ran away. The horses went north on Eleventh to Chestnut, thence west to Second, north to the track of the Vandal la railroad, and then ran west along the track until they reached the bridge over the Wabash, across which they started. When about thirty feet out one of the horses fell and, suspended by his harness, remained there until the wrecking crew was called out and released him. The horse that fell was so badly Injured that he had to be killed, but his mate was not seriously hurt. Strange to say the hack was not injured in the least.

William Stewart, the well-known barber at H. J. Voges's, and Fred Sexton, son of Mrs. Charles Hunter, who made a hit at the Casino with a musical act several weeks ago, leave next week to enter upon a professional career. They open at the Chicago Opera House with a vaudeville company under the management of George Castle, and their tour will take them to St. Louis, Milwaukee, Omaha, and from there to the coast. Their act is entitled, "When Fritz Comes Back," and they introduce a great number of novel musical Instruments.

The twenty-third annual convention of the Sunday Schools of Vigo county will be held in the Methodist church at Riley on the 29th, 80th and 81st of October. Each Sunday school In the county is entitled to two delegates, and It is expected that the attendance will be large. A very interesting programme of exercises has been arranged. The meeting Will begin on Friday evening, Oct. 29th, with a song service led by James W. Landrum, of this city.

Early, president Heiny Weldele, vice president Harry Bishop, corresponding and recording secretary Bruce Jeffers, financial secretary Billy France, treasurer and Charles Poths, Clay Siler and Charles Haynes, trustees David Gibson, sergeat at arms.

A fine subject for a page illustration in the Police Gazette was furnished by two young men of this city, this week, Joseph Jeff era and James Baker. Stripped to the waist in true prize fighter style, and with bare fists, they fought a battle for a girl, Cassie M. Basket, with whom they were both in love. Jeffers won the battle in the third round, but when he called on the young lady to announce his victory she ordered him off the premises. When he protested vigorously against such treatment she had him arrested on the charge of provoke. _____

Rev. Kittredge Wheeler, who as J. K, Wheeler, was pastor of the First Baptist church here fourteen years ago, will preach there to-morrow, morning and evening. Mr. Wheeler Is now pastor of the Fourth Baptist church, of Chicago, one of the largest and most flourishing congregations in that faith. Mr. Wheeler left here to accept a $9000 call to a church in Hartford, Conn., and while there was elected chaplain of the Connecticut state senate. He went from Hartford to Chicago, where he has since remained. During his stay here he will be the guest of Dr. and Mrs. M. H. Waters, at seven and Mulberry streets.

Henry Rosenthal, an Evansville man, had a peculiar experience ou a street car in this city one day this week. He sat down in the car on his way to the union depot, when he discovered that sitting next to him was his brother, a merchant in China, whom he had seen for twentyfour years. The brother was on his way to Indianapolis to make a visit, and had not informed any of his relatives of his coming.

W. R. McKeen celebrated his sixtyeighth birthday on Tuesday last. Since eighteen years of age he has been actively indentured with the public and business life of this city and county, beginning his career as a deputy In the office of Charles T. Noble, who was then county clerk. He was bookkeeper and cashier for the old State bank, then located in what is now known as the Kussner building on Ohio street, opposite the court house, and which was then apiece of the most magnificent architecture. Afterwards, and at different iianw, with Ralph Tousey, Dem&s Deming and D. W. Minsfcail, he engaged in the banking business, the business having been conducted since 1870 under the name of McKeen & Co. In addition to his other business enterprises he was for twenty-eight years president of

the Vandalia road, retiring only when the Pennsylvania road purchased a controlling interest a year or so ago. No employer of labor ever had the universal good will wad esteem of the men under him as did Mr. McKeen, and it was a sorry day for many of them when he decided to give up his railroad interests and take the rest his active business life had entitled him to. No man in Terre Haute has so generally the good will of his fellow citizens, and if wishes could ensure birthdays he would outlive Methusaleh.

Philip K. Reinbold, formerly president of the Central Labor Union, was the only representative Terre Haute had at the annual meeting of the State Federation of Labor at Marion this week, abut he succeeded in securing the next meeting of that body for Terre Haute in October next. It will be the most important meeting for several years, too, for there will be consideration of the matters to come before the legislature to be elected in the following November. It will bring two or three hundred delegates to the city. From the number of unions here Terre Haute is entitled to about thirty representatives at this year's meeting, but Mr. Reinbold was the only one to attend.

Mrs. J. W. Stout, wife of ex-Sheriff "Billy" Stout, died at the family residence. at Fourth and Swan streets, Tuesday morning, after a brief illness. She had been sick for some time with typhoid fever, but on Sunday it developed into meningitis, and from that time until her death she was unconscious. She was Miss Emily Trinkle, a daughter of one of the prominent farmers of Clay county, and was married to Mr. Stout in 1874. She was prominent in the work of the Baptist church, and was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Architect McElfatrick, one of the most prominent theatrical architects of the country, was in the city this week discussing with B. G. Cox the erection of another theater on the site of the old Nay. lor opera house at Fourth and Main streets. It is practically decided that another theater will be bpilt there, the plans for which will be prepared by the firm of McElfatrick & Son, of New York. The new building will be five stories in height, and will be devoted to business rooms and offices, in addition to the theater proper.

The fire department again demonstrated its efficiency last evening, when it subdued a dangerous fire in the Marble block, that at Its outbreak gave promise of spreading seriously. The fire broke out in the bindery of James Wisely, and spread from there to the printing office of Chas. Pugh In the second story. The department after an hour's work subdued the fire, but not until the printing office had been completely wrecked, and much damage done the bindery. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The prompt and efficient work of the department alone prevented the fire from spreading through the entire block.

I. V. Preston, the well-known confectioner, closed his doors on Thursday evening, The bad business of the past few years compelled this step. His principal creditors are Anton Mayer, for rent, $425, and the Terre Haute Artificial Ice Co., ice, $1,000.

FASHIONS FANCIES.

Silk fringes, especially in the narrow widths, are used for dress trimming. Fringes are to be revived, and will probably be popular, as they ma|^very dressy trimming.

A great many belts will be worn of white skin or of mastic leather embroidered in precious stones.

All skirts, even for street wear, should be made to slightly trail in the back, that being the latest edict from Paris.

Pink is the leading color for evening gowns, and if it is combined with violet you have the latest whim of fashion."!^

Lace is universally used this aeasftrT&n both light and dark gowns. We have lace vests, lace cravats, lace bows in our hats and lace eyerywhere that it can be aran it go

Would be a Rare Exhibition. Jacques Kruger, the comedian, believes that in the space allotted to the dramatic arts at the Paris exposition of 1900 it would be a splendid Idea to exhibit a ballet girl less than fifty years old, a villain who gets the better of the hero, a starving heroine who hasn't a couple of thousand dollars' worth of diamonds, a melodrama that does not lug in a great mechanical realistic effect and a leading man who wears an average-sized hat. If the above could be grouped together it would make the rarest exhibit of dramatic subjects ever collected. "And If in a large cage," adds Mr. Kruger, "were put any ten musicians who heartily liked each other, then the Paris exposition would get the credit of securing the moat rare and curious specimens in both music and the drama that the world has ever looked upon." This list does not include the comedian with his inevitable stage drunk. Possibly Mr. Kruger has in his repertoire an unusually "fierce" specimen of this gloom inciter.

Tlie Etiquette of Introductions. It is mortifying to note how many persons pay little or no heed to what may be styled the etiquette of introductions. To the lover of good form there is nothing that sets one's teeth on edge on hearing an introduction so worded that a woman is presented to a man, or an elderly woman to a young one. At a tea a matron who years before had arrived at the dignity of a grandmother was piloted by her hostess to a young girl of twenty and they were made known to each other in the wellmeant words "Mrs. Knight, I want to present you to my dear little friend, Mabel Day. Mabel, dear, this is Mrs. Knight, of whom you have so often heard me speak."

If the ladies were amused by the speech, they were so well versed in that knowledge of good form in which their hostess was l^kjng that they showed no consciousness of her error. "5-

BITTER TASTE. ,,

It Aids in the Detection of Unwholesome Food. Daniel Webster in the famous White trial In Salem, Mass., years ago declared that "murder will out," This maxim has been found applicable to many other things besides murder. Housewives know it to be true when there is alum in baking powder. A bitterness in the bread at once betrays the alum's presence. It can't conceal its true nature. The alum bitterness "will out," and because it will, physicians, who understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are at a loss to know why people continue to buy baking powders containing it. All baking powders sold for twenty-five cent* a pound and lees contain alum. There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders. For a pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Price's was shown to be at the World's Fair, goes so much farther and gives so much better results, there is no doubt of it* being more economical in the long run.

CORNER FIFTH AND MAIN STREETS.

On tailor-made gowns a great many fancy buttons will be used, not only in pearl, but in burnished metal, enamel and cloisonne. Olives of burnished jet will be used to fasten the brandenburgs.

Furs are to be very fashionable indeed. W he a re he no an of he jackets will be belted in at the waist with jeweled girdles. Ermine is to be a prime favorite, as it was last year, and it will be worn in combination with "-seal and astrakhan.
