OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Relative* in this city this week received •word of the death at Medford, Oregon, on December 4th, of Mrs. Thomas S. Spang ler, whose husband was formerly a well known ganger at the distillery. The Spanglers left here for the west about fifteen years ago, Mr. Hpangler taking position in the revenue service. He is still a gauger in the distillery at Medford. Mrs. Spangle was a daughter of George Duddleston, of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and a sister of Mrs. Francis M. Blything, of Chestnut street. Her husband and one daughter survive her.

The jury in the case of^Badie Crookshanks, on trial for the murder of her husband, Mack Crookshanks, returned a verdict of not guilty Tuesday night, after being out for about four hours. The verdict was not a surprise, as there was very iittle evidence against the woman, and that only of a most flimsy character. It will cost the taxpayers of the county in the neighborhood of $1,000 for the expenses of this trial, and it seems strange that the grand jury should have been permitted to return an indictment on the little evidence at hand.

The movement to have the city renumbered was brought before the city council Tuesday night, when a lengthy petition was presented, asking the council to appoint some suitable person to remeasure the city and number the houses in accordance with the new measurement, in time for the new directory next year.

At the meeting of the council, Tuesday night, City Engineer George H. Simpson presented a bill for $500 against the city for work done on the plans for the new newer system. Mr. Simpson claims that the plans prepared by S. E. Gray, the expert, are really his in great part, and he thinks that he should be paid for the work. The communication was referred.

Few people leallae the Importance of one Terre llauto Industry, that of the Terre Hnute Brewing Co. The report for the year just closing will show that ttfe plant has produced 100,000 bjyrrols of beer. This means the employment of hundreds of mnii, and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor, supplies and improvements. Such is the excellence of the product of the company that It competes successfully in a large territory with the largest rivals in the country, and those of national reputation.

The members of the Hebrew congregation of this city have been engaged all week in the annual celebration of the Feast of Lights. It corresponds in some respects to that of the Getitile Ohristnlas. The celebration Is in memory of the cleansing of the Jewish temple after its pollution by the Roman soldiers of Antiochus.

Mrs. 11. I. Miller, wife of the general superintendent of the Vandalta, has been In Richmond for several weeks attending the bedside of her aunt, Mrs. Susan Gregg, who died last week. The latter left an estate of $tt0,000, which will be divided between Mrs. Miller and Miss Nora Kibbey, another niece, of Phoenix, Arlxona. II. I. Miller, of this city, Is one of the three executors of the estate.

"Jack" Walsh will take his old place as county treasurer next Saturday, and has announced that his deputies will be Ortwin R. Nurtiburger, formerly with the Terre Haute and Vigo Artificial Ice companies, Andrew O'Mara, a well-known and popular young politician of the Tenth ward, and Kwlng Harlan, a son of James Harlan, of Pmirieton township. Mr. Walsh made a popular and most efficient

IT IS EASY TO TELL

People who fail to look after their health ar*» like the carpenter who negltcts to sharpen his tools. People *re not apt to grt anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well*' or "half stfek" have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the cause of your knesw!

It Is easy to tell by setting aside your wrine for twenty-four hours a sediment or Milling indicates an unhealthy condition ©f the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too fnrquent desire to urinate, scanty supply, ivtin 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 (treat remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does t*wamp-Root give new life and activity to the kMoey*-~tii« eanse of titrable* but by treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for entire constitution. If you need a tie take Swamp^Root —it cures, by druggist*, price fifty ccats and dollar, or by sending your address and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & V».. Binghamton. N. Y.» yon may have a mple bottle of this great discovery sent yon fm by null

treasurer during his former incumbency, will no doubt equal his former record in this term, with the assistance of such a competent force of deputies. f|§W. T. Sanford, who has made one of the most capable and energetic treasurers that Vigo county has ever had, will retire to private life. He has no plans for the immediate future. With the record he has made as a public official, with the care he has taken of the interests of the taxpayers thus entrusted to him, it is certain that business opportunities will be numerous before him. His popnlar deputies John C. Freund and A. B. Gunn, like their principal, have no plans for the immediate fnture.

Edwin P. Westfall has disposed of his job printing establishment, located under the old Mail office to Winfield S. McCoy, who has had considerable experience in the printing business, althongh in the past few years he has not been identified with the business. Mr. Westfall has no plans for the near future.

Forefathers' day was celebrated at the Congregational church Tuesday night, and attracted a good attendance. A number of interesting papers were read, chief among them being one by C. C. Oakey, whose gifted pen has contributed much that is of interest in relation to facts and figures concerning Terre Haute and its early history. He writes as interestingly of the forefathers as he does of things nearer home, and his paper was one of the features of this celebration that came as a result of the recent organization of the gentlemen's club of the First Congregational church.

The Mail does not take a back seat in advancing credit to itself for issuing notable holiday numbers, but it cannot decline to give credit to its. contemporaries for equally clever publications. The Gazette's Christmas number, issued last Saturday, was undoubtedly one of the most interesting publications ever printed in Terre Haute. In contents and illustrations it had a peculiar interest, and great credit must be given the Gazette for the enterprise displayed. Its advertising patronage was generous, as it deserved. The Tribune's Christmas number, issued the same day, and' that of the Express, on Sunday morning, were equally notable, and from the display of advertising must have been profitable to the publishers.

The Terre Haute Brewing Co. announces that it will furnish coal free of all charge to deserving persons, if application is made to Chas. J. Peker, at the bottling department of their works, on Oak street. It has heretofore furnished free bread to the deserving, but the furnishing of free coal is anew feature, deserving of great credit.

The Thompson clnb, which is just now enjoying a deserved "boom," will watch out the old year, and welcome the new, next Friday night, and will give 'smoker" and keep open house for the members and their friends. The entertainment last week was so successful that the directors of the club feel like repeating it.

J. A. Barricklow and Lewis Reichman, young attorneys of Areola, 111., hnve removed to this city, where they will practice their profession. They will open an office in the National House block.

The shortage of ex-City Treasurer James Fitzpatrick, which occupied public attention over seven years ago, came into notice again this week as a result of a suit filed by the city against the bondsmen of that official to recover the balance of the money due the city on account of the shortage. When the shortage was reported to the finance committee the bondsmen examined the books and were satis fled of the amount due, and entered into an agreement to pay the amount agreed upon, $14,000. The amount short was about a thousand dollars in excess of this, but to save the costs of a suit the city compromised on this amount. All of this has been paid but about $2,500, and it was for this amount the suit was brought. It is claimed that the money was deposited in the Prairie City Bank, with John S. Beach, as trustee for the bondsmen, at the time of the failure of that institution, August 5th, t893. The complaint names the following defendants: Nicholos Bolaud, Andrew Grimes, Patrick Hickey, Peter J. Ryau, John S. Beach, Frank McKeen, David FiUgerald, John F. Brinkman, William R. McKeen, Crawford Fairbanks, Centenary A. Ray, uirry Schloss, Mrs. Laur*Schloss, Lillie Schloss, Sidney Schloss. Elisabeth Schloss, Jacob E. Sehoemehl, Catharine Sehoemehl, Clara Earl, Fred Earl, and Apollonia Sehoemehl, widow of Marcus Sehoemehl.

Shortly after the first of New Year the fifth anniversary of the opening of theY M. C. A. building in this city, will be celebrated at th© Grand Opera Honse. The leading speech will be delivered by I. El Brown, state secretary of the Illinois Y. M. C. A., who also holds the positions of president of the Chicago Training Society and of the Western Secretarial Institute. The date of the meeting and other arrangements will soon be announced by the committee on arrangements consisting of Messrs. John M. Tune, B. McCorMick, W. P. Felver and Charles B. Jamison.

David I* Watson, county clerk, has returned from Grand Rapids, where he attended a meeting at which the work of the new ritual of the order of Elks was exemplified before a large nnmber of visitors. Mr. Watson holds the position of district deputy for the southern portion of this state. While there be secured estimates for the work of fitting op the new rooms of the local lodge of Elks in the Grand Opera House, which they will occupy shortly after the new year is ushered in,

The Rose Technic for December hi the handsomest number thai publication has Issued, and the beauty of its appearance is equalled only by tbe excellence of it# contents. The cover is printed in colors typical of the holiday season, and is an original and clever design produced by I tbe road to learn it. J. II. Lansden, Jr., a member of the board' dangerously injured, E. B. Hortoo, fire-

of editors. In addition to sprightly editorial columns, there is an article by Prof. John B. Peddle, a member of the faculty, a*contribution by W. R. Sanborn, '96, an article describing the Yerkes observatory by John A. Parkhnrst, and other articles of general interest. The young men who have devoted their time to this number cf the Rose* Technic have reason to feel proud of their production. It is original and meritorious, is splendidly illustrated, has a creditable display of advertising, and it is safe to say that no other college publication in the country can surpass it in appearance and contents. It was printed at the Globe Printing House, and it goes without saying that its typographical appearance cannot be surpassed. No job printing house in the country could turn out a more creditable specimen of its work. The only remark aside from this that could be made on the issue is, that some member of the editorial staff must be very "solid" in Dayton, Ohio. There are nineteen different advertisements of Dayton establishments, and some one of the different editors evidently has a "pull" in that lively city. .a s?v

There will be more changes in location among Terre Haute business establishments during the next few months than has been known in the same length of time for many years past, and it is doubtful whether so many changes ever took place before in such a short space of time. The Breinig-Miller Co. will move into the building recently vacated by Pixley & Co., and Miss Emma Fisbeck will remove from her present location to the Hoffman building, a few doors south. E. D. Harvey is figuring on moving from his place on Fourth street to the room recently occupied by F. C. Fisbeck. The American Express Co. will move into new quarters further east, and the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. will move to the Cook building, formerly used by the Club saloon. J. T. Miller will give up his room between Fifth and Sixth and will move into anew location, not yet decided upon. Louis Silberman will give up his room in the Bindley block, and will in all likelihood take the room now occupied by Mr. Miller. The Townley Mantel & Furnace Co. will give up their room, next to J. M. Bigwood, and Finkbiner & Duenweg will probably take the room thus vacated. Other removals are in are contemplation, and may be announced before the new year is far along.

Vigo Division No. 83, U. R., which is noted for the excellence of its entertainments, will give a novel holiday attraction in the shape of a cake walk at Castle Hall next Wednesday night. Many well-known members of the divisiou will take part in the walk, and there is likely to be lots of fun furnished those who attend. The advertisements of the affair are unique and attractive, and will no doubt draw many to the entertainment.

The Breinig & Miller Co. has taken a lease of the Froeb building formerly occupied by Pixley & Co., and will move into it the first of the year. The stock of the company as well as that of Breinig & Co. on east Main street will be moved into the place. The company pays a rental' of $2,i0d a year for' tW^ ye^ra, with the privilege of renting it at.the same figures for a term of five years. '"l"1

John Schneider, an old and well-known resident of this city, and noted for his skill as a brass moulder, died at his home on east Sycamore street, Tuesday, aged seventy-two years. He was the father of Wm. Schueider, the well-known ball player. _____

Mrs. Lucinda H. Lockard, wife of Samuel H. Lockard, a well-known resident of the north side, died at her home on north Center street, Tuesday morning, aged fifty-seven years.

The political battle for the coming year will soon be on. The Democrats are the first in the field with the call for their primaries to elect delegates to the district convention, which will beheld at the court house in Mils city on January 11th, 1898, to select a member of the state committee from this district. The primaries in this county will be held on Saturday, January 8th, in the shape of a mass meeting at the court house. The day is the anniversary of the birthday of Andrew Jackson.

Max F. Hoberg has been appointed administrator of the estate of his father-in-law, the late B. W. Koopman.

Belle Neal, who was the witness whose testimony secured the dismissal of Pattolman James Fox from tne police force last summer, attempted to commit suicide Tuesday night by taking morphine. The doctors pumped her out before the poison had.a chance to take effect,

Prof. E. E. Utterback, teacher of writing in the city schools, has resigned his position to accept a similar one in the public schools at Houston, Texas. He re-, ceives a handsome advance in salary. He left yesterday for his new location. There are a number of applicants for his position here, but as yet the school board has not selected his successor.

Mr*. Martha Lawson, wife of John F. Lawson, receiver of the Terre Haute Soap Co., and formerly of the Havens & Geddes Co., died at the family residence on north Ninth street, Tuesday, aged fifty-five years. Tbe remains were taken for interment to their former home, at Mattoon, 111.

It has been noticeable to newspaper workers for many years tha^ casualties of various kinds come in groups, and one terrible accident is sure to be followed in a short time by another. This was verified this week when tbe C. & E. suffered another disastrous wreck. The southbound Florida special ran into an open .switch at Cayuga Tuesday evening, and went bead on into a freight train standing on tbe switch. Both engines were entirely demolished, and both trains were badly damaged. Two men we» instantly killed, S. E. Hobsob, engineer of the passenger train, and fit.

man, a brother of the dead engineer, and Harry Kellogg, formerly of this city, but now living at Danville, where he is an airbrake inspector for the C. & E. I. The wreck was the fault of a brakeman on the freight train. The freight was waiting the passage of the passenger train, and the brakeman, Moody, threw the switch open instead of closing it. He took to his heels when the engines came together, and thus far nothing is known of his whereabouts.

The rumor is revived that the Big Four is to build anew depot in place of Colonel South's "yaller" one, which is a disgrace to the city and discreditable to such a splendid railroad system as the Big Four. This new depot has been promised for many years, and the revival of the rumor that one is to ba built is the result of an option the railroad company has secured on some property abutting the railroad tracks between Seventh and Eighth streets. The option is for thirty days, and the supposition is strong that it is to be used for depot purposes, as it is difficult to imagine what other use the road can put the property to.
