JF LOCAL INTEREST.

The annual meetings of the stockholders the T. H. & I., T. H. & L., and Indiana I Lake Michigan railroads took place in ilia city this week, and resulted in the rejection of the old board of directors of »ach road, with one exception, Joseph Vood, of Pittsburg, being elected in place

J. E. Davidson, who died last August. R. McKeen, D. W. Minshall and Herman Hulman, Sr. were the Terre Haute len named as directors of the T. H. & I.,

R. McKeen and George E. Farrington sing named as directors of the Logan .ivision and the St. Joe extension. It is a atter of congratulation that George E. Harrington was re-elected secretary and obert B. Thompson treasurer of the sevral roads. George Farrington has been scretary of the Vandalia so long that the lemory of the oldest inhabitant runneth .ot to the contrary, and the Vandalia without him as the local representative ould not seem like the Vandalia. As iong as his genial presence is associated with it the people will hardly be able to :ealize that the road is now a Pennsylvania, and not a Terre Haute, system.

I A sensational trial is now in progress at Newport, affecting the disposal of the esate of the late Frank Fairbanks, which iamounts to something in the neighborood of $50,000. Hattie Harden, who laims to be the widow of the deceased, *ia» brought suit against the estate as the ,ole heir, and a determined fight is being made against her claim. Over a hundred witnesses have been subpoenaed in the natter, and it is thought the trial will last cen days or two weeks. The plaintiff lived with Fairbanks at his farm east of the city, apd claims that she was married to hi in at St. Louis. She is said to come of highly respected parents living in Indianapolis, and was formerly a clerk in a leading store in that oity.

At the meeting of the Democrats of the Fifth congressional district, at the court chouse on Tuesday last, Frank Horner, of Brazil, was re-elected district committeeman. Resolutions were adopted declaring allegiance to the Chicago platform of last year, and opposition to Secretary Gage's financial plan. Ex-Governor Claude Matthews, of Vermillion county, did not get here in time to make a speech to the convention, but had an opportunity to tell a newspaper reporter of his undying devotion to the principles of the Chicago plafcforni. _____

John Paddock, from 1871 to 1877 treasurer of the city of Terre Haute, an^ for several years later a prominent business man of the city, died at his home in Denver last Tuesday evening. The first news was received by J. T. H. Miller, from Mrs. Paddock, asking Mr. Miller to make ar'rangimiunts for the funeral. Although he had not been a resident of this city for several years no man was better known here among the older residents than John 'Paddock, and his occasional visits to his old home were made continual receptions to him. He was a soil of Lewis Paddock, •one of the early pioneers of Vigo county, and was born in 1845. His pnrly life was .spent on his father's farm, attending the public schools during the winter months. At the breaking out of the war, although but a lad of sixteen, ho enlisted in the Forty-third Indiana volunteers, of which Col. W. E. Mclean was the commander. He served with credit until the battle of Mark's Mill in Arkansas, where he received a wound that finally caused him the loss of his left leg. Returning home as soon as his wound, would permit, he resumed his studies, taught school for a while, and then took a business course in the commercial college. In March, 1867, he he accepted a position as

IT IS EASY TO TELL

People who fall to look after their hrtilth *re like the carpenter who negltcts 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 uriue 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 great remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish iu relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life and activity to the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by treatltig the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Root—-it cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar, or by sending your address and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, X. Y., you may have a sample bottle of this great discovery seat to you free by mail.

deputy county auditor, where he remained until elected city treasurer in 187L His efficiency here made him so popular that he was twice re-elected, finally retiring in 1877. He was for a time deputy revenue collector for this district, and finally engaged in the boot and shoe business. Several years ago he removed to Kansas, lo eating at Wichita, where he engaged in the real estate business. He served for a time there as deputy county treasurer, and a year or so ago removed to Denver, where he had since resided. Mr. Paddock's first wife died a number of years ago, and about three years ago he married Miss Ollie Connover, daughter of D. C. Conover, of this city, who survives him. The funeral services will be held at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning at Ball's undertaking establishment, and will be conducted by the G. A. R. •,,

Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the distinguished Arctic explorer, who went nearer the North Pole than any other man ever did, lectured at the Grand Wednesday night, and gave one of the most interesting entertainments of the year. Nansen is a striking figure, and gives every indication of the courage and determination he possesses. He was brought here under the auspices of the State Normal school, and lectured to a $645 house. Nansen is covering a great deal of territory in his tour. Monday night he lectured in Indianapolis, Tuesday night in Milwaukee, Wednesday night here, and the following night in Bloomington, HI. He is said to be growing homesick to see his wife and babies back in far Norway, and will bring his tour to an abrupt close, returning home next month.

The Republican county committee has issued a call for the selectioti oI precinct committeemen to compose the county committee during the coming year, and also to select delegates to the Fifth district meeting to be held in this city February 1st, to elect a member of the State Central committee. The meetings will be held next Friday night in the city, and the Republicans in the outside townships will meet on Saturday afternoon.

The result of the vote for the election of trustees and directors of the Y. M. C. A. this week was as follows: Trustees for one year, Samuel T. Reese, W. R. McKeen, John Cook directors for three years, J. Smith Talley, W. H. Wiley, J. W. Crook, R. L. Alder, F. A. Kelley director for one year, L. B. Martin.

Henry T. Thorp, formerly a clerk in the auditor's office of the Vandalia, who went to Phoenix, Arizona, last November, in the hope of benefiting his failing health, died there on Wednesday, aged thirty-five years. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Thorp, of Sugar Creek township.

The Hazleton fill on the E. & T. H., which has cost that company more than a hundred thousand dollars to complete, is again threatened by the high waters of the White river. The railroad company has been coustantly engaged since the disastrous wreck there last spring in attempting to fill the crevice, and had the work in such shape that it would have been in good condition had the high waters not occurred at this time. The trains have been sent ground by the E. & I. for several days, while an attempt is being made to stop the carrying away of the material used in the fill.,

Oliver Fouts, son of Fouts, of this city, was killed iu the railroad yards at Blackfoot, Montana, being a fireman on a road entering there. Fouts left here a few months ago in company with Phillip O'Reilly, son of Sanitary Officer John F. O'Reilly, in search of work, and had been in Montana but a short time. He was a bricklayer by trade, and a member of the Odd Fellows and A. O. U. W. His body will be brought here for burial.

At the meeting of the Lincoln League at the Terre Haute House on Wednesday it was decided to hold the annual meeting of the league at Lafayette, instead of Indianapolis as has heretofore been the custom. Terre Haute made no effort to capture the meeting, and as Lafayette offered the greatest inducements it was given the honor of entertaining the visitors. The Thompson club will probably make an effort to secure the meeting for 1899

The cr' Ajvorks will start up with a force of five or sik hundred men about the first of February, and it is stated that enough contracts are already in hand to keep this force employed for several months.

Terre Haute is to have a street fair, and no mistake. The meeting of business men at the mayor's office Tuesday night was fairly attended, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Marx Myers, W. T. Beauchamp, S. Budd. W. N. Carhart andEd Lee was appointed to consider the arrangements for the fair. Another meeting will be held at the same place next Tuesday night, when the project will be still further considered

The Wabash Cycling Club held its semiannual election of officers Wednesday evening, with the following result: President, Charles T. Nehf vice president. Milton Her* secretary, George Splady treasurer, Jake Stark librarian, Will Meyer captain, Charles Wittig first lieutenant, J. E. Stein second lieutenant, Joe Kern director, Dan V. Miller.

Vigo Division, Uniform Rank, K. of P., will repeat its successful "cake walk" at the Armory on the evening of the 28th inst,, this being caused by the fact that George Wolf and partner have challenged Messrs. Kaufman and Moon, who won the priie in the last contest. There will be a hot time in the old town when this contest takest place again, and the restrictions thrown about the manner of getting ready for it makes it certain that it will be of more than ordinary interest. -W

What strong drink will do for a man who devotes himself to it was shown In the mayor's court this week when Oscar Johns, whose father, the late T. B. Johns, was known as the "walnut king," was released from custody because the charge of petit larceny against him was not pushed by Ed Hampton, the druggist, from whom

The city commissioners, after hearing the arguments in the E. & T. H. Ohio street opening case, on Monday decided to go ahead with the proceedings over the protest of the railroad company. They adjourned to meet on the 26th inst., when they will begin the assessment of benefits and damages occasioned by the opening. A strong movement is on foot looking to the abandonment of the opening case, provided the railroad company will bear the expense of erecting a viaduct across the objectionable tracks. President Barlow, of the company, ivhile in the city this week, announced his willingness to confer with an authorized committee from the city council in regard to the viaduct solu-* tion of the opening. r"' A-u-3?

he stole several cans of paint. Johns was reared in the lap of luxury, his father giving him a good education, and furnishing him with money to his heart's desire. When the elder Johns failed, and later died, the boy took to drink, and now he is a miserable outcast, without friends and influence. Only the kindness of heart of Hampton prevented him from being convicted of larceny and sentenced to the state prison.

in Indiapolis yesterday ar

guing before the Supreme court the celebrated vacination case carried up from this county. A son of Frank D.

Blue does not believe in vaccinnation, and is supposed to. .have, back ojjum ,,in, is, contention the antl-vaccinnation society. The lower court ruled that the board of health orders regarding vaccinnation must be obeyed, and he appealed to the higher court. The court reserved its decision. ^-4

It seems that when the local lodges of Red Men decided to appropriate money to engage lawyers to assist in the prosecution of Alexander Owens for the murder of Alexander Lawrence at Highland Lawn cemetery a few weeks ago they exceeded the authority conferred upon them by their laws, as the higher authorities have decided. The lodges will therefore ask Judge Piety to appoint assistant counsel to assist Prosecutor Tichenor in the case.

From the number of cases of drunkenness among young boys tne past few weeks it would seem that some saloonkeepers have been grossly violating the laws regarding the sale of liquors to minora. Within the past two weeks two boys under eighteen years of age have been picked up on the street helplessly drunk. Public sentiment will heartily endorse a vigorous prosecution of the saloon keepers selling to minors, and the offenders should be looked after.

A saloon-keeper ha^ been fined in" this city for selling liquor on Sunday. The prosecution took place before a justice of the peace this week, the complainant being the wife of a man to whom the liquor was sold. t»

The stockholders of the national banks, the First National, the National State and the Vigo County National, held their annual elections tMs week, as required by law, and in every case re-elected the old board of directors. The First National will elect officers at their first meeting, while the Vigo National elected the old officers, including Gus Conzman as cashier. Frank Borgstrom, who has been connected with the bank since its organisation, was given a deserved promotion to the position of assistant cashier. The National State did not elect a cashier, but will postpone that for the present. John

Cunningham is now performing the duties of cashier, while Bruce Bement is doing special work In the bank, George Harris for the present acting as bookkeeper.

The Breinig & Miller Co. moved this week to their new location, in the room formerly occupied by Pixley & Co. Their former room, which is owned by August Hoberg, will be remodelled, and Mr. Hoberg will rejnove his stock of notions from Its present location near Seventh street into the Breinig-Miller room.

be the national game of Africa. It is most closely associated with that continent. It is found among all the tribes and

is an evidence of the essential unity that underlies all the African races. Among the Abygsinians it is played by all classes, from the king to the peasant. It is the favorite amusement of the negroes at Benin, on the west coast. It is well known among the natives of Bombay, in Java, in Oeylon, in the Maldive islands and in the Malay peninsula. In Syria and Palestine cup marked stones used in this game are not infrequently found in old ruins. It is played by the Druses with holes made in a plank of wood, and this is the common form of the instrument in Jerusalem and throughout Syria, where it may be seen continually played in the cafes by the visitors. The children in Egypt, Nubia and Syria play it in holes excavated in the ground, and when two travelers meet on the way they frequently rest and extemporize a board of holes dug in the hard path and proceed to play with the pebbles they gather on the spot.

In Palestine and Egypt the shells used in the game are brought from the shores of the Red sea, while in Damascus pebbles are employed which pilgrims collect in a certain valley on the way home from Mecca. Games of hazard are prohibited by the Mohammedan religion, but mancala is considered a game of fate or skill and is therefore tolerated, and in all likelihood it is diffused by the pilgrimages from Mecca throughout the Mohammedan world to the utmost limits of Arab oultnra— Good Words.

The first distinct mention of soap now extant is by Pliny, who speaks of it as an invention of the Gaul?, but be that as it may the use of soap for washing purposes is of great antiquity. In the ruins of Pompeii a complete soap manufactory was found, and the utensils and some soap were in a tolerable state of preservation. The Gallio soap of 18 centuries ago was prepared from fat and wood ashes, particularly the ashes from beech wood, whioh wood was very common in Franoe as well as in England. Soap is spoken of by writers in the second century, but the Saracens were the first people to bring it into general use as an external cleansing medium. The use of soap is thus described: "When examined chemically, the skin is found to be composed of a substance analogous to dried white of egg—in a word, albumen. Now, albumen is soluble in the alkalies, and when soap is used for washing the skin the excess of alkali combines with the oily fluid with which the skin is naturally bedewed, removes it in the form of an emulsion, and with it a portion of the dirt. Another portion of the alkali softens and dissolves the superficial stratum of the skin, and when this is rubbed off the rest of the dirt disappears. So that fevery washing of the skin with soap removes the old faoe of the skin and leaves a new one, and were the process repeated to excess the lattervwould beoome attenuated."— New York Ledger. g|g

A Fatal Oversight.

Recently the wife of an Atlanta man told him she wanted two newspapers that were published in different states. He had no ohange about him, so she gave him 10 oents with which to pur* ohase them.

He went forth, but on the way bethought him of the clipping bureau, where, he argued, he could get the papers for nothing. So he invested the money in a good cigar, obtained the papers when the clipping man was through with them and returned home.

On opening the papers his wife discovered that two items had been clipped from one and four from another, and then there was trouble.

It was in vain that he tried to explain. In faQt, he couldn't explain. The more he stammered out excuses the more his wife's curiosity was aroused.

The next morning when he appeared down town his head was bandaged and he looked ill.

He is now consulting a lawyer as to the advisability of suing the clipping bureau for damages. —Atlanta Constitution.

A Lafayette Relic. '-J

When Lafayette came to this country, he was entertained by a Colonel Griffin and was so touched by the attention shown him that he presented his host with a rare and beautiful ring which had been placed on his finger by Louis XIV, to whom he admitted allegiance before sailing for America.

The ring is a marquise, with a setting about an inch -long and fully hall an inch wide—San Francisco Call.
