The uncertainty and doubt regarding the recent option on certain property abutting the Big Four tracks between Seventh and Eighth streets will be settled next Tuesday, it is said, when the real estate man of the road, who secured the options, will be here to make some arrangements about the matter. It is claimed that it is the intention of the management of the road to erect a handsome and commodious depot here, but this has been promised so long and so often that few will put much faith in the rumor until the land is purchased and the foundations of the new depot are laid.

W. P. Ijams sold his famous chestnut gelding, Praytell, by the wonderful Axtell, out of Jean Look, to J. E. Dickie, of Cleveland, this week, for $5,000 in cush. Praytell has a record of 2:05)£, and is six years old. He is one of the most promising performers sired by Axtell.

Julius Blumenberg, formerly a wellknown saloon and restaurant man of this city, died at his home In the Hartz mountains, in Germany, on the 11th inst. He was formerly one of the most prominent of the German residents of this city, but on account of ill health he retired from business in May, 1895, and returned to his native country to spend his declining years and enjoy the benefits of the competence he had created. His wife survives him, as does an adopted son, Julius, who is a well-known musician of this city, and is connected with the firm of D. H. Baldwin & Co,

The challenge cake walk under the auspices of Vigo Division, Uniform Rank, at Castle Hall Wednesday night resulted in reversal of the decision made at the previous contest. George Wolf, who was dissatisfied with the former result challenged W. W. Kaufmau, the winner, but in the second trial he was distanced, and wasn't even one-two-three. John Krulol and Lynch won first place, Emil Yansky and Wm. Hanley second place, while W. W, Kaufman and George Moon who were winners before, captured third prize. The cake walk was followed by a dance which was heartily enjoyed. A large crowd was in attendance.

The enforcement of the law requiring attendance of children between certain ages at the public schools it is said will cost the county in the neighborhood of four thousand dollars per annum in the city of Torre Haute alone. The expense in the outside townships, where the law is also enforced, will not amount to very much.

Charles Fremont, formerly a resident of this city, whose wife is a daughter of Mrs, C. II. Mason, of 1347 Liberty avenue, is said to have "strucK it rich" in the Klondike, and a letter sent home a short time ago said he had more money than he knew

IT IS EASY TO TELL

People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who negltcts to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If yon 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 stains Unen 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 in 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 treating the kidneys it acte as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Iioot—it cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty wnta and one dollar, or by sending your add raw and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, X. Y., yon may have a sample bottle of this groat discovery sent to you free by mail.

what to do with* It is reported that he is coming home in the spring for a visit, when it is likely there will be a great m$ny people in Terre Haute who can show him what to do with it. Fremont left here several years ago for Montana, and according to the story told, after a series of bard luck experiences was fortunate enough to get into the gold regions just before the great strike was made. There is hardly a neighborhood in the country that hasn't a "millionaire magnate" in the Klondike and many of the stories will be believed when the magnates show up with some of theii* immeasurable wealth. -'j'-VM4"

Terre Haute members of the L. A. W. fared very well in the appointment of officers for the coming year. They have more offices of importance than any other city in the state, not' excepting Indian apolis, anl it is evidently the intention of Chief Consul Sherwood, who makes the appointments, to enlist the well-known hustling abilities of the Terre Haute boys in behalf of the national meet to be held at the capital this year. Here is a list of the local wheilmen appointed to committees, with the committees named: Committee on rights and privileges, D. Y. Miller highway improvement, G. W. Splady chairman touring committee, W. R. Teel transportation, J. F. Stark chairman racing board, R. Nitsche .rules, and regulations, G. C. Rossell.

Miss Mary McComb, who has been very successful in conducting the Light House Mission, but was compelled to resign on account of the condition of her health, was given ft farewell reception at the mission Monday night. Miss McComb was presented by the young men associated in the mission work with a handsome bible. She leaves in a short time for Philadelphia, where she will take a well deserved rest.

The board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. held their annual election Tuesday, with the following result: President, H. Townley vice president, J. Smith Talley recording secretary, J. W. Crook treasurer, James W. Landrum. Charles B. Jamison, the general secretary, was reelected. The following committee chairmen were appointed: Finance, Bertis McCormick membership, Dr. W. C. Eichelberger gymnasium, Dr. M. H. Waters social, Wm. P. Felver lecture course, W. H. Wiley. The fifth anniversary of the foundation of the local Y. M. C. A. will be held at the Grand Opera house to-morrow night, and a very interesting programme has been prepared. The actual anniversary took place several weeks ago, but the formal observance was postponed until to-morrow night. Admission to the entertainment will be by tickets, which will be issued by the committee in charge of the celebration. There will be a musical programme, and the speaker of the occasion will be President J. B. Brown, of the Chicago Training School. The occasion promises to be most interesting one.

The question of the shortage of ex-City Treasurer Wes. Hauck has been brought to a focus by a proposition from his bondsmen to the city to settle the amounts in dispute by paying into the city treasury the fttim of ten~thousand dollars, which is about three thousand dollars short of the amount claimed by the experts to be due. The matter will probably be adjusted within the next few days. Mr. Hauck and wife will turn over to the bondsmen all their property, amounting in value to something in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars.

Over 200,000 bituminous miners will be affected by the result of the conference between the miners and operators at Chi cago this week, which resulted in a most decisive victory for the miners. By*the terms of the agreement the miners are to receive an advance of ten cents per ton for mining, beginning April lnext, the agree uient to stand for one year. Aside from the advance in the price of mining, the miners gained a great victory in the adoption of an eight hour day for six days in the week, this arrangement to go in effect at the same time as the advance in the scale The agreement gives satisfaction to the majority of those affected by it, and is a victory for arbitration.

Anton Hulman left last Saturday for Kingston, Jamaica, for a stay of three months, ostensibly on business, but it is said by some of his friends that he went prepared to take a course of training, preparatory to entering the big races at the national meet of the L. A. W. at Indianapolis this summer. The comparative ease with which he won all the contests in which we was entered last year, with but little training, makes it evident that with a systematic course of training at the hands of a professional trainer he would make himself prominent in the racing world.

Wm. Schluer has placed his detachable tandem in the hands of a big bicycle manufacturing firm in Chicago, and its sale will be pushed during the coming season. Mr. Schluer will spend the greatest portion of his time there superintending the construction of the wheel, but his family will remain here.

Miss Effie Pleasant, an employe of the Stahl-Urban Co., while passing the new St. Benedict's church Tuesday was struck on the head by a scuttle cover blown from the church, and received injuries that it was at first thought would cause her death. In fact, two of the city papers announced her as dead, but at the last accounts she was improving and it is thought will recover.

Harry Phillips, the policeman who was recently tried for drunkenness and acquitted of the charge, because it was not specific enough, has got his foot in it sure enough this time, and will lose his place on the force. Thursday night Sergeants Welch and Bidaman found him drunk and asleep when he was supposed to be on duty. His star was taken from him and charges preferred against him, which he cannot disprove. Last night at the performance at Gcisselbrecht's, Phillips was present, still drunk, and

The street fair project is well started, a board of directors consisting of W. T. Beauchamp, S. C. Budd, Jesse Levering, A. Z. Foster, Alex- Sandison, Daniel Fasig, W. N. Carhart, Marx Myers, R. O. Miller, A. Herz, A. N. Smith, V. N. Griffith, M. N. Diall, Fred Hertwig and Charles Baur having bee^ elected at the meeting at the mayor's office Tuesday night. The articles of organization were adopted, but the matter of the selection of a date was postponed for future action, the idea being to have the fair some time in October next. The directors met on Thursday and selected the following officers for the association President, A. Z. Foster vice president, R. O. Miller secretary, C. C. Oakey treasurer, A. N. Smith.

Mrs. Mary Taylor, mother of Miss Taylor, of the faculty of the State Normal School, died very suddenly last night at her home on Mulberry street near Seventh, while preparing to retire. She had been suffering for a long time with heart trouble.

J. T. H. Miller, the clothier, has taken the room at present occupied by the Terre Haute Transfer Co., which will move into the Grand Opera house block. Mr. Miller will move his stock of goods to the new location as soon as it can be made ready. Among other changes in that block will be that of J. Fred Probst, who will shortly move into the Rose Dispensary building.

OBITUARY.

JOHN 6. KRETZT

John G. Kretz, an old and well-known resident of this city,'died at his home on north Fourth street Tuesday morning, aged seventy-nine years. He was a native of Germany, and came to this country when thirteen years of age, locating at Pittsburg, where he learned his trade of shoemaker. He came west in 1840, and walked into Terre Haute in 1841, and since that time has been living in this immediate vicinity. He was located in Montezuma, and later in Dana, but returned to this city in 1868 and has lived here continuously since then. His *wife, three sons and a daughter survive him. The sons are Lawrence, electrician of the fire department, Louis and John Kretz, both engaged in bnsiness in this city. The deceased was a member of Humboldt Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and the funeral on Thurs day was conducted by that organization. .SIRS. SARAH C. DEMING.

Mrs. Sarah C. Deming, one of the early pioneers of Western Indiana, and one of the oldest residents of this city, died at her home at Sixth and Walnut streets last Wednesday morning, aged eightyeight years. She had been in poor health for some time, but her last illness was of but two weeks' duration, the immediate cause of it being a severe attack of asthma. Her son Henry, now living in California, was telegraphed for, as was her granddaughter, Miss Sophie Wheeler, who was attending school in New York, but they did not arrive until after her death.

Mrs. Deming was a Virginian by birth, her father, Arthur Patterson, being a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, who located in Vincennes when she was but four years of age. From there he removed to Rockville, where he attained prominence, and was elected to represent Parke county in the state legislature. The marriage of Miss Patterson and Demas Deming took place at Rockville in 1840, and was one of the notable events in a social way in those pioneer days. Mr. Deming was a native of Connecticut, and came to Terre Haute in 1818, where his relative Curtis Gilbert had preceded him He had served in the war of 1812 as a lieutenant and at its close located in Baltimore. He engaged in business soon after coming here, served as associate judge of the probate court-, and when a branch of the State Bank of Indiana was opened here in 1834 he became interested in it, and was its first president. He died here in 1865. From this union four children were bprn, as follows: Demas Deming, president of the First National bank, Arthur, who was a dry goods merchant here and died some years ago, Henry, for years cashier at the First National ban^, but now residing with his family in California, and Mrs. Sophie Wheeler, who with her two children, Deming and Sophie, lived with her. Mre. Deming was the last survivor save one, of her family. Her sister, Mrs. Mary Linton, died several years ago, Judge Chambers Y. Patterson, deceased, Mrs. John P. Usher, of Lawrence, Kansas, who survives her, and a half brother, James Patterson, now dead.

The funeral services were held this afternoon at the family, residence on south Sjixth street, and were conducted by Rev. C. H. Percival of the Congregational church.

Mrs. Deming was one of the richest persons in the city and left an estate estimated to be worth over a million dollars. She left a will, but it has not yet been filed for probate.

Men and Horses Killed in Battle. In regular battles the proportion of loss among men and horses is quite olose, and in hand to hand combats of cavalry, as well as in sharp artillery engagements, for every man killed or wounded there is also a dumb warrior entitled to a place beside him on the roll of honor. The Light brigade at Balaklava rode in 660 (not 600) strong and lost 288 men, bat of the 660 horses 860 were shot down by the Russian guns.

In the fierce charges of the German uhlans and cuirassiers at Yionville, Mars-la-Tour, in 1870, 1,400 men and 1,600 horses were killed and wounded. In the fierce artillery contest on the same field 730 men and over 1,000 horses fell around the guns. At Gravelotte, soon after Mars-la-Tour, the artillery fighting waa also terrible, and 1,800 horses were shot down around the batteries, though the loss of the artillerists was less than 1,000.—Our Animal Friends. a't
