OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Sadie Crookshank, widow of Mack Crooksbank, the American Express driver, who was supposed to have killed himself in this city shortly after Christmas last year, was arrested at Indianapolis this week and brought here on the charge of having shot her husband in a jealous light with him. At the time the coroner returned a verdict of suicide, but the police some time ago received an intimation that the woman had confessed that she had killed her husband, and have been working on it ever since. The matter is being investigated by the grand jury, and a number of witnesses have been examined. After the death of her husband the woman ran an assignation house at the corner of Third and Mulberry streets until closed up by the police. She then went to Indianapolis, and when arrested was working in a restaurant there.

Terre Haute Chapter, No. 11, Royal Arch Masons, will confer the Royal Arch degree on a team of three on the night of November 12th and will make the occasion notable by a banquet, to which the members of Paris chapter will be invited. The Terre Haute chapter attended a similar affair at Paris last winter, and were so royally entertained that they want to return the compliment.

The past chancellors of the several lodges of Knights of Pythias in this city will meet at Castle hall to-morrow afternoon to organize a past chancelors association. There are about sixty past chancellors in the city.

Hon. WDI. A. Connelly, of Clay county, died near Center Point Tuesday night. He was a member of the Knights Templar of this city, and a delegation from that body attended his funeral on Thursday. Mr. Connelly was once a member of the legislature from this county, being then a resident of Riley township.

Henry McCabe, a well-known citizen, died at his residence at Tenth and Crawford streets, Wednesday afternoon, of Bright'H disease. He was flfty-two years of age, and was formerly prominent in politics here. He was a member of the old police force, a constable for fourteen years, and held a position as storekeeper »t the distillery under the first Cleveland administration. Recently he had been en-v gaged in the coal business.

Bernard W. Koopman, an old and welldown resident of this city, died at bis home on north Sixth street Sunday morning, as a result of a stroke of paralysis with which he was seized last week. He was seventy-three years of age, and was prominent in the work of the Centenary church. His wife and four childrens survive him. They are Walter H. Koopman, or Louisville, Mrs, Max F. Hoberg, of this city. Albert T. Koopman, of Chicago, and Miss Cora Koopman, of this city.

Paul Baganis, who fell out of aloft last week and alighted in a barrel of broken glasa, died as a result of his injuries Monday afternoon. He had called at the resi dence of his brother, Adolph, In Highland Place, and went up In a loft to throw some hay down, when he fell through a hole in the floor, alighting on his head In a barrel of broken glass. He was frightfully cut up, was rendered unconscious, and never rallied.

The firm of Sehluer & Foulkes made a deed of assignment on Monday to Lucius Lybrand, who was given permission to open the store and contiuue the business. The members of the firm attribute their failure to false reports that were set In circulation by some of their creditors, which created a scare, and forced collections that they were unable to meet in the present condition of business and collections. The

IT IS EASY TO TELL

People who fail 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 indicate an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back Is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

There is satisfaction in knowing that the gtvat remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in relieving w*ak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life and activity to the kldaey®—the duise of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the entire constitution. If yoa need a medicine take Swamp-Root It cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar, or by sending your addross and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., yon may have a sample bottle of this grant discovery sent to yon free by mail.

stock of the store was appraised at $6,480, on which chattel mortgages amounting to 16,800 were placed last week, the mortgagees being Win. Sehluer,

Sr., of Orange,

N. J., and Geo. C. Foulkes, of this city. It is to be hoped that the firm will be able to recover from the present embarrasment, and resume business at the old stand in good style. If any person can bring this condition to pass it will be the assignee, Mr. Lybrand, whose long experience in business, bis exact methods, and wide acquaintance will render such a condition possible.

The plant of the Terre Hatiie Manufacturing Co., or that portion of it recently purchased by George H. Prescott at auction, and used for the manufacture of the Brosius No-Treadle sewing machine, will shortly be removed to Apollo, Pa., a lively manufacturing town of 7,000 population located about forty miles east of Pittsburg. A company has been organized there with a capital stock of $300,000 for the ptrrpode of manufacturing this machine and the Brosius motor on a large scale. Captain Brosius will sell his residence on south Fifth street and remove with his family to Apollo.

The Wabash Cycling Club wuTgivetts annual hill climbing contest at Coal Creek hill, northwest of the city, to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock. The hill has been in a bad condition all summer, but is said to be in a fairly good shape now. This annual contest attracts a large number of visitors, and last year several thousand spectators grouped around the sides of the hill to watch the novel contest, The honors last year were won by Anton Hulman.

Charles N. Murphy, who has been prospecting for gold in British Columbia since last April, returned home last Sunday afternoon, with glowing tales of the golden prospects of the Terre Haute mining com pany in whose interest he made the trip. Bruce Bement was wittf him a portion of the time, but left recently to visit some mining property in which he is interested in Montana. Mr. Murphy says the claim of the Terre Haute company is considered the best in British Columbia, and that it will pay handsome dividends. There are only a few months in the year that the mines can be worked, and the ore has to be hauled some twenty-seven miles to the nearest smelter. A railroad is likely to be built through that portion of the country, and if it is it will make the handling of the ore much more profitable, as it now has to be hauled over the mountain roads to the smelter. Mr. Murphy brought back some interesting specimens of ore taken from the Terre Haute syndicate mines.

Terre Haute is to have a Klondike ex ploring company. It has been organized on the north side, and ex-Councilman Everett Messick is at the head of the enterprise. T^he company is to be known as the Vigo Mining and Investment Co., and will have a capital stock of $1,500, divided into shares of $5 each. It is expected to send a prospecting party -to the Klondike next spring, and ex-Policeman Ira Merring has already been decided upon as one of the men.

Sell Hannegan, formerly a resident of this city and whose wife was a daughter of the late Col. Thos. H. Nelson, died in Washington on Sunday last. He was a doorkeeper of the diplomatic gallery in the United States senate, a'position secured for dim by Senator Voorhees, and which he had held for along term of years

Mrp. Mary Ewing, sister of the late Mrs. Clara B. Root, has qualified at Fort Wayne as administratrix of the estates of Mrs. Root and L. B. Root. She gave bond in the sum of $150,000 as adminstratrix of the

B. Root estate, and $30,000 for the other. It is announced that there will be no changes in the conduct of the stores belonging to the estate, either here or at Fort Wayne. It will be pleasing news to Terre Haute people that the handsome store here will be continued with its present efficient and popular managers and employes.

It Is estimated that the overall factories of this city give employment to 1300 women and girls, whose wages run from $5 to $10 a week, for ten hours' work.

The celebration of the twenty-ninth anniversary of the organization of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, on Wednesday, was an overwhelming success. Thousands of visitors were attracted to the city, and thoroughly enjoyed the programme that had been prepared for their entertainment. The parade was large, with bands almost without number in the line of march, the speeches at the court house were interesting and instructive, and the entertainments at Germania hall at Bindley were enjoyable. The visitors were greatly pleased at the reception given them. The energy and enterprise shown by the Terre Haute committees in charge of this celebration was remarkable, and shows that there is nothing too great for Terre Haute to undertake.

Philip Braun, a well-known member of the Cigar-makers' Union, died at the home of his mother, at the corner of Fourteenth-and-a-half and Elm streets, yesterday morning, after a long illness with consumption. He was unmarried. The funeral will take placc to-morrow,after-

The Wabash Cycling Club gave one of its famous entertainments on Thursday evening, in the shape of a smoker, to which the friends of the members were invited. A very enjoyable time was bad, a larger crowd being In attandance than at any previous entertainment. v,

Make a Man of Him.

The best way to cure a student of petty vices and childish trickery is to make a man of him. Give him something real to do, and he will not fritter his nervous strength away in conviviality or in degrading associations. Bnt to forbid excesses and abuses, putting nothing in their places, cannot be very effective. Not long ago I had occcasion to say: "If your college assume to stand in loco parentis, with rod in hand and spyglasses on its nose, it will not do much in the way of moral training. The fear of punishment will not make young men moral or religious—least of all a punishment so easily evaded as the discipline of a college. If your college claims to be a reform school, your pro fessors detective officers, and your pres ident a chief of police, the student will give them plenty to do. "A college cannot take the place of a parent. To claim that it does is mere pretense. Yon may win by inspiration not by fear. 'Free should the scholar be free and brave.' The petty re straints that may aid in the control of college sneaks and college snobs are an insult to college men and college women. It is for the training of men and women that colleges exist."—David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford, Jr., university, in North Ameria

J&! The Great White Crane.

The great white crane is a grand, stately fellow, clean cut and shapely from the points of his daggerlike mandibles to the ends of his slim black toes. When standing erect, his lean head towers above the grass nearly to the height of an average sized man, and his keen eye can range over leagues of prairie for approaching foe. Garbed in plumage pure as new fallen snow, with extraordinarily long, slender, shiny, black legs and with the graceful line of his back ending in a cascade of lovely, curling white plumes, he always reminds me of the powdered, belaced, much coattailed, spider legged gallant of the old French school. And Grus americana is sorely a gallant gentleman and dignified withal, and can he not, like his relative, ashen hued Grus canadensis, dance tho minuet and dance it as it should be danced?—Ed W. Sandys in O

TEBKE HAUTE SATTTBDAY EVENING MATT., OCTOBER 30, 1897.

A Snake Story*

A road party, comprising the usual gang of from 50 to 60 Kaffirs, with a white man as superintendent, was employed on the construvticn of a road in the Tugela valley, Natid, about 80 or more years ago. In th@ course of their work they came on a huge stone which it was necessary to remove, but beneath it was the home of a large black mamba, well known to the neighboring inhabitants as being old, and therefore very venomous. The mamba is the most deadly of the South African snakes, and the superintendent anticipated some trouble over that rock. He offered a bribe for the snake's skin, and the gang "Wow—d!" and sat down to "bema gwi" (take snuff), but a slim youth sauntered forward and amid the jeers and protestations of the rest declared himself equal to'the task. He took from his neck what looked like a bit of shriveled stick, clyp* ^|d it, swallowed some of it, spat out \rest on his hands and proceeded to ruV ^ia glistening brown body and limbs ah over. Then, taking up his stick and chanting a song of defiance, he advanced with great confidence and swagger to the bowlder. There he roused up the mamba, who, in great fury at being disturbed, bit him in the lip with great venom. The boy took no notice of the bite, but broke the snake' back with his stick, and bringing him to his master asked for the reward, ob taining which he went back to his work, and the bite of the reptile had no effect on him whatever.

Cooking: and Insanity..""-1.

A writer in What to Eat asserts tha^t 40 per cent of the women inmates of insane asylums have been oooks that women cooks either go mad or get married, while men cooks make money. The explanations given for this are logical and true, the causes that affect the health and lead to brain deterioration indisputable. It is but another proof of the fact quoted recently from Dr. Maudsley, that women "cannot run over the same course at the same pace as men." The coarser skin of the male and his heavier frame are more fitted to en dure the extremes of heat and hot vapors that must be endured by cooks. Another moral to be drawn from the article is that we cook too much our days and nights are hampered with meals. Advancing civilization demands a study of greater simplicity in food to call a halt in the race after all sorts of materials and combinations to whet ca pricious appetites.

The Seeds Were There. '4

Farmer Nubbins (shouting across the garden fence to his next door neighbor) —Hey, there! What are you burying in that hole?
