Mrs. Sarah L. Norcross, wife of E. L. Norcross, for many years local manager of the Western Union, died at the family residence on south Sixth street, Wednesday afternoon after a long illness. She was formerly Mrs. Sarah Keller, and was married to Mr. Norcross in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1861. Aside from her husband, her sister, Mrs. Alexander Labadie, formerly Miss Flora Keller, a well-known member of the theatrical profession, and her niece, Mrs. Thompson, of Indianapolis, formerly Miss May Keller, are her only surviving relatives. The funeral services took place yesterday afternoon, and were largely attended, she being held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Jacob W. Clifton, one of the best known printers of this city, and who set type on the first issue of the Saturday Evening Mail, nearly twenty-eight years ago, died at his home on south Third street, Tuesday evening, after a long Illness with Bright's disease. He was a trifle over fifty years of age, and was a native of New Jersey. He had been a resident of this city since 18*58. He worked at the printing business hero until 1877, when with ."Buzz" Weaver, and S. R. Henderson, co-workers oil The Mail, he went to Peoria to establish the Call, patterned after The Mall. The paper did not prosper, and after some time he returned to this city where he had since livecl, serving in various capacities in the news and job bfTicea of the city. His wife and four children, one daughter, Grace, and three sons, Robert, Jerome and Lucien, survive him. During his last illness he was baptized in the Catholic faith, and his funeral services yesterday morning were held at St. Joseph's church, under the auspices of the Typographical utiiou, of which he had been a member since its organization. The union printing offices of the city suspended work during the funeral ceremonies in order to permit- the employes to attend. Mr. Clifton's former associates on The Mail who went to Peoria with him, are still in the business, "Buzz1' Weaver being advertising manager of an Omaha dally, and S. li. Henderson an editorial writer on the T^os Angeles, Cal., Times.

Miss Nettie Gertrude Nichols died Thursday morning, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Nichols, on Thirteenth street, north of Maple avenue, aged twenty-four years. She had suffered for several weeks with spinal meningitis. She leaves three brothers, Dr. W. E. Nichols, of Edgar, 111., and Charles and Herbert of this city. The funeral will be held from the Maple Avenue church tomorrow afternoon.

Mrs. Marie Kirkpatrlck, of Pueblo, Colorado, who Is highly connected in this city, gave the police department considerable worry this week, after she had been arrested Sunday night on the strength of a telegram from the sheriff of Pueblo, on the charge of forgery. She was visiting her sister here when the telegram came, and on account of her genteel appearance and her connections the police were loth to send her to jail. Detective Mcliae offered to take her to his home Sunday night, and thus prevent her being sent to jail, hoping that some explanation would come that would relieve her of her apparent distress. Shu was well dressed, and had money, and professed her willingness to go to his house for the night. Bright

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD. A fact often overlooked, or not always understood, is that women suffer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troubles as the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or uninary passages is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring. If you have pain or dull aching in the back, pass water too frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burning—these ate also convincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have doctored without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. The mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise you. It stands the highest for it* wonderful cures. If you take a medicine you should take the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You may have »sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention Saturday Evening Mail, and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binjzhnmpton. N. Y. The proprietor of this paper guarantees the genuineness of this offer.

and early Monday morning she arose and gave him French leave, and was not found until Tuesday morning, although the police scoured the city and vicinity in search of her. She hired a woman to take her across the river in a skiff, and then footed it miles across the bottoms to a farm house near Malcolm's station where she was found by Superintendent Hyland. The sheriff of Pueblo put in an appearance Tuesday night, and left with her for Colorado the next day, and took the precaution to provide himself with leg irons with which he will fasten her to her seat when he has occasion to lose sight of her during their return trip. The woman ran a fashionable boarding house at Pueblo, was well thought of, and has a daughter who is married to one of the wealthiest residents of Phoenix, Arizona. It is said her forgeries will amount to something in the neighborhood of 15,000. Her treatment of the police department after the officers had shown her the favor of keeping her out of jail is but another proof of the fact that the greatest favors are not appreciated by those who receive them. The daily papers were most considerate of the relatives in the case, and not one of them named the sister who is prominent in social and church circles, and who was of course almost mortified to death by the shame that had fallen on her sister. The chronic farflt finders who delight to say that the daily papers will print anything that will furnish a sensation will have to take a rest for themselves after this case.

Nevins township, which is noted for the frequency of its shooting scrapes, added another to its long list Saturday night, when John Carrington, a miner employed in the mines near Grant, shot and killed Wesley Niece, another minei, and wounded the latter's uncle, Bailey Ewart, so seriously that he died the next day. The Grant people were slow in sending word to the authorities here, and Carrington made his escape. Although every effort has been made to apprehend him, thus far he has succeeded in escaping the authorities. The police have offered a reward of $100 for his arrest. Carrington had a bad reputation, and had been engaged in escapades previous to this. It is thought he is concealed in softie abandoned coal mine in the vicinity of his crime.

The case of Alexander Owens, charged with the murder of Alexander Lawrence at Highland Lawn cemetery some time ago, has been set for the 17th of March. Another sensational case that has been set for trial next month is that of George Cottom and Mary Thompson for the attempt to murder their illegitimate child near Riley. The date of that trial has been fixed for March 15th. John O. Piety has been appointed to assist Prosecutor Tichenor in the Owens case.

The Odd Fellows are going to have a great time in this city on the 26th of April, celebrating tile seventy-sixth anniversary of the order.

M. R. Williams, of Anderson, secretary of the straw board trust, has purchased the Frank Fairbanks' farm east of the city. He is said to have paid fifty dollars an acre for the place, which is one of the most complete in this section of the country.

Owing to the decision of the Clay county court iu the matter of the guardianship of Cassius Reeves, the blind and insane pensioner of this county, of whom County Auditor James Soules had acted as guardian under direction of the Vigo Circuit court, the body«of Reeves was turned over, under agreement, this week to the guardian appointed by the Clay Circuit court. The decision against the guardianship of Mr. Soules has been appealed to the Supreme court, and until that court passes on the questions in dispute, the pensioner will remain under the control of the Clay connty man. Reeves was formerly a resident of this county and some time ago was given a pension with arrearages amounting to over $17,000, and the authorities felt that as Reeves had been a charge on this countv his property should be assessed for purposes of taxation here.

One of the victims of the terrible disaster to the United St*tes cruiser, Maine, at Havanna, this week, in which over 250 lives were lost, was Harry Keyes. of Indianapolis, who was a native of this county, having been born near Ellsworth. He has an uncle and other relatives living in that vicinity. His mother, whose husband, J. J. Turner, is a letter carrier, now lives at Indianapolis, from which plase he

enlisted in the naval service. Postmaster Benjamin has received orders from the treasury tepartment to have the flag on the government building kept at half mast until further ordersvout of respect to the memory of the victims of the Maine explosion.

He had already refused an offer of 125,000 from other parties.

If City 'Treasurer Charley Balch is successful next Monday night in his rendition of a "Hey Rube" in "An Old Fashioned Husking Bee," that is to be given under the auspices of the Eastern Star, at Masonic hall, the chances are that he will become an operatic impressario at the expiration of his present term of office. He is the star, the manager, the press agent, the stage manager, the prompter, the property man, and the call boy in this very enjoyable entertainment that was so well given recently under the same auspices. He sings a song that it is worth riding miles to hear, and besides has the assistance of the following well-known local talent: Mrs. Clara A. Melville, Miss Minnie Giebel, Miss Lena Sachs, Mrs. Mary Knieriem, Miss Laura Longman, Mrs. Mary Lawrence, Mrs. Geo. A. Scott, Miss Hattie Dodson, Mrs. Eliza Vaughn, Mrs. Robert Benefield, Miss Nina Stunkard, Miss Carrie Steele, Mrs. May Dill, Mrs. Sarah Naylor, Miss Florence Bardsley, Miss Ada Hampton, Mrs. C. H.

Col. John Beggs, R. G. Watson, W. P. Ijams and A. W. Heinly, of Danville, 111., are negotiating the purchase of the St. George hotel property at Evansville, and converting it into a first class hotel in keeping with the importance of that city, which is now without* a good hotel. It was on account of the lack of hotel facilities that Evansville was compelled to give up the meeting of the State Medical society this year. The purchase of the hotel and the improvements to be made will represent an investment of over one hundred thousand dollars but the gentlemen interested in the scheme feel sure that it will pay. They will know next week whether or not their offer for the property will be accepted by the various persons interested in it. The hotel was formerly one of the leading ones in the west, and was for along time the property of D. J. Mackey.

At the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, W. W. Hauck, ex-city treasurer, presented a communication, previously made to the finance committee, in which he offered to turn over to the city the sum of $10,019.00, in full settlement of the amount discovered by the experts to be due the city from him. The matter was laid over for two weeks.

A tempest in a teapot was created lapt Saturday afternoon by the announcement that the Vigo Battalion, G. A. R., composed of representatives of the various G. A Ri posts of the county, had adopted resolutions censuring Pension Commissioner Henry Clay Evans, for his recent rulings in pension cases. It seems that while resolutions of censure were presented they were not adopted, although other Indiana posts have adopted similar resolutions. Consideration of the matter was postponed until some future meeting.

Cause.

Street cars stopped Never before in the history of Terre Haute was such a crowd of bargain seekers as gathered together in and in front-of the Great Chicago Banknipt Clothing, Dry Goods, Shoe and Hat Company, 424 Main street. To avoid a panic, we had a guard at the door, leaving scores of people1 in and out, to prevent people being crushed to death. The great attraction was the selling of fine clothing, dry goods, shoes, clooks, capes, jackets, dresses, millinery, furnishing goods, trunks, satchels, etc., being sold or given away at 75 per cent less than the cost of manufacture. Don't miss this sale today.

Now is the time to get bargains never before offered in Terre Haute. These bankrupt goods were bought for a song for cash and will be sold accordingly Take advantage of these low rates and supply yourself for the present year. Never again ftill such opportunities be given you. These goods must be closed out regardless of cost.
