OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Prof. Michael Seiler, formerly a teacher in the State Normal school, a position he held for many years, died very suddenly last Saturday night, as a resul? of a fall down stairs, at his residence at Seventh and Crawford streets. He turned out the gas just before retiring, in some manner lost his balance, and fell to the landing below, a distance of ten feet. Medical aid was summoned, but he did not recover consciousness, and died within an hour. He was a member of several secret societies, and his largely attended funeral Wednesday afternoon was conducted by Torre Haute lodge, No. 10, A- F. & A. M. Deceased left a wife and two daughters. He had recently been engaged in the insurance business, and left policies aggregating $8,000.

The bondsmen of ex-City Treasurer W. W. Hauck paid into the city treasury on Tuesday the amount agreed upon with the city in full of all shortages in his accounts. The amount was $10,010.46, and the check for the money was signed by W. R. McKeen. The report that Mr. Hauck would remove from the city is incorrect. He will continue in the employ of the trustee of the Terre Haute Carriage and Buggy Co., in which he was largely Interested. His wife and children will visit for the present with her sister. Mrs. Walter Hesser, of Hamilton, O. Deputy Revenue Collector O. M. Tichenor and family will occupy Mr. Hauck's former residence on north Eighth street.

One of the most successful society fairs ever giveu in this city will bo that of Terre Haute Division No. 8, of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, at Castle Hall, in the Beach block, the week of April 25-30. The first day of the fair the company will parade in full uniform, headed by the Ringgold band, which will also furnish music for the dance to be given on Friday night. A $150 diamond will be given to the successful person holding the lucky admission ticket, prizes will be voted to the most popular young lady, the most popular candidate, and the most popular member of the Knights of Pythias. The following chairmen have been selected to take charge of the different committees: Soliciting, Frank Clift advertising. S, C. Budd booths, R. O. Miller. Geo. C. Rossell is chairman of the general committee in charge of the fair.

The old parties are not going to have a walk-over In the city campaign this year. The cold-water people have put a full tleket in the field, as follows: Mayor, John J. Elder clerk, J. Milton Platts treasurer, A. W. Uruenhota councilman first ward, Conrad Heine second ward, K. W. Cory third ward, James Summers fourth ward, F. M. Flnley fifth ward, M. G. Rhoads sixth ward, Rev. Gustln seventh ward, D. A. Dill eighth ward, Fred Blue ninth ward. Reuben W. Floyd tenth ward, W. H. Wilson.

The new lodge rooms of Terre Haute Lodge No. 86, B. P. O. E., in the Grand Opera house, were fitted with ttye new furniture this week, and with the draperies, carpets

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with uriqe and let it stand twenty-four hours a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pAin in the back is Also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO,

There is comfort In the knowledge's© often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot. the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon leslited. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing case*. If you need a medicine yon should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail, upon receipt of three two-cent stamp* to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

mahogany. The draperies were furnished by Albert Grail, of Indianapolis, and the carpets by John G. Dobbs. The hall will be formally dedicated on Monday, when a large crowd of visitors is expected from different parts of the state. The new ritual will be exemplified by the officers of the Terre Haute lodge, and the visitors from this district will vote as to whether it shall be recommended for adoption. The annual 'election of officers was held on Wednesday night, with the following result: Exalted Ruler, D. R. Bronson*, Esteemed Leading Knight, D. V. Miller Esteemed Loyal Knight, G. E. Pugh Esteemed Lecturing Knight, Thos. G. Beggs Secretary, D. L. Watson Treasurer, J. R. Paddock Trustee, three years, E. E. South,* Tyler, W. B.

City Attorney George E. Pugh won a very decided verdict for the city in the Temple damage case, which went to the jury last Saturday. It returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff of $50, which is considered by the attorneys to be a most decided victory, when it is considered that the amount sned for was $1,000.

If there should be war with Spain Terre Haute will have two representatives in the United States navy. George Mitchell, a graduate of the naval academy at Annapolis, is an officer on the torpedo boat Foote, and this week Thomas Murtagh, a machinist in the Vandalia shops, left for New York to enlist in the service.

Dan Slusser, the saloonist, evidently tfiinks the patronage of Printing House Square Is something to be considered. He has removed his Kingston saloon from the room opposite the Terre Haute house to the room formerly occupied by Geo. H. Hebb, next door to the Daily Express.

Mrs. Charles W. Schmitt, wife of the well-known conductor on the Vandalia, died at the Union Home on Sunday as the result of an operation for appendicitis. She was formerly Miss Cora Steinmehl, and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who sympathize deeply with her husband and little girl in their bereavement. Her brother, Frank Steinmehl, of Birmingham, Ala., and her sister, Mrs. Amelia Ralston, of Dallas, Texas, attended the funeral on Thursday.

Congressman Geo. W. Faris had the distinction of being made a member of the committee of Republican congressmen to wait on President McKinley this week, to announce to him, that unless he gives positive assuranes that positive action is taken immediately that there will be a revolt. .f

Secret societies in this city do not seem to have much success in acquiring property for the purpose of erecting buildings for their own use. The Masons own the very valuable property at Eighth and Main streets, but they are not able to do any .good in erecting a Masonic Temple there. Two or three attempts have been made in recent years, but neither has done any good. The Knights of Pythias a few years ago bought the property at the corner of Eighth and Cherry streets, partly as an investment and partly with the idea of! erecting a Castle Hall there. The property is owned jointly by the three lccal lodges, but there has neyer been unity of action in the disposal of the property. Recently an offer was made for the sale of the property at a handsome advance over the price paid for it, and while one of the lodges refused to sell, the others declared in favor of it, and it is said that the differences may be aired in the courts. The property is the most valuable vacant land in that portion of the city.

W. S. Rea has purchased the Moore homestead on south Sixth street between Oak and Crawford, and it is said will erect a handsome new residence there this year.

Terre Haute has developed many vocalists with more than a local reputation, and it seems that a young lady of this city who is now taking vocal lessons in Chicago is destined to bring still more reputation to the Prairie City. Miss Rose Felirenbach, who is studying music there, is spoken of very highly by a number of musical journals on account of her evident abilityas a vocalist. W

American Securities Abroad. The sales of American securities have been, According to London Advices, very large abroad of late. If this state of things holds, there will be an increasing influx of British gold into this market. This demonstrates the faith abroad in the stability of our credit. There is another point of faith for which the people not only of this but foreign countries have good grounds for credence, and that is belief in the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic maladies which affect the stomach, liver, bowels* kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation and rheumatism are conquered by it. It hastens convalescence, and diffuses a generous warmth and sensation of physical comfort throughout the system.

TWO STORY WRITEBS

BOTH ARE WORKING JOURNALISTS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

Slehkrd Linthicom and the Book of Short Fiction He May Soon Brine Oat—Stanley Waterloo's Admiration of the Wolverene and Bis Study of the Cave Bear. [Special Correspondence.] ^CHICAGO, March 29.—It is often asserted that newspaper writing does not lead to the production of literature and that the rush of journalism has a tendency to spoil the pen for fiction. Yet it is only necessary to mention the names of the late Eugene Field and the living Stanley Waterloo to prove that, no matter how true ftiis may be in general, it is a rule with many exceptions and that some of the most brilliant of these exceptions have been manifested in this city.

Fnll of promise, bnt quite different from the work of these two stars, is that of Richard Linthicum, himself one of Gene Field's closest friends and most sincere admirers. Although best known by reason of his exeontive work on The Times-Herald, Mr. Linthicum has fonnd time within the past three or four years to work up a number of short stories that have found high favor in tbe eyes of newspaper and periodical readers, and it is his intention, his friends hope, some time within tbe coming year to put the choicest of these stories out in book form. Tbey deal with the Homeric age and men of tbe early mining camps mostly and are full of virility and life and action, while at the same time tbe characters depicted are well differentiated and abounding with individuality. Mr. Linthicum is still a young man with time enough for a long and satisfactory literary career ahead of him, and unless he allows the enthusiasm of journalism *c hold him captive too long is bound to be heard of by and by.

I have not been informed whether Stanley Waterloo is expecting to turn f* ont another piece of fiction soon or not

At all events he is hardly likely to produce anything more attractive to the public than "A Man and a Woman," in which story, by the way, there is a good deal more of tbe autobiographical than you might suppose.

Stanley Waterloo is now about 47. If be hadn't drifted into tbe newspaper trade first and then into literature, he would have been an excellent guide and trapper, for he loves the-woods and the streams and tbe open air.

Waterloo tells almost as good stories in private conversation as in the pages of his novels. Perhaps his tales of the wolverene are the most entertaining. I

RICHARD LlNTHtCOM.

have never seen a wolverene/ myself, but Waterloo deolaresj*«£ a most ferocious and daring fully as big as a bear and with the figbting qualities of both tbe wolf and tbe bear. It is bis firm belief that a dusky creature of tbe wolverene order could easily whip a good sized healthy lion, and he lias often talked seriously About getting up a fight between beasts of the two species.

His respect for the wolverene, wbiob is found in greater numbers in Miobigan than anywhere else, is natural, by the way, since be was a boy in the woods of that state. There he lived in a log hut in a clearing far away from the homes of other boys. His only playfellow was a big dog, and bis only diversion an oooasional fight between the dog and a wolverene, in which he sometimes took a personal hand.

Some of Waterloo's soars, of which he shows several with pride, date baok to these enooenters, bnt the chief mark on his face is understood to be there* suit of an attempt on his part to ride a voting and fractious horse. He was a Boy then, and his father advised, not tc say commanded, him hot to attempt titt task, but tbe lad persisted, was dumped in the ditch by the animal and laid up for some weeks. His ill luck did not tame him a little bit, however. As soon as he was recovered he began the task of subduing that horse all over again and is still proud of the victory he final* ly won over the animal.

Waterloo's admiration for wild animals is not confined to the wolverene by any means. There is not a beast in the world with claws in which he if not interested. He went to Washington in 1889, ostensibly to be managing editor of The Otitic, but really to study tbe skeleton and other remains of the cave bear that wee among the treasure! of the Smithsonian institution. He had a notion of writing a story of prehistoric times, in which primitive mac was to have many combats with prehistoric wild beasts, tbe cave bear among the rest, and he wanted to know all about this particular beast

The longer Waterloo studied tbe cave bear, which most have been a tremendously formidable animal for prehistoric man to bock up against, the more he admired it, and be has often said to his friends that it would have been almost worth while to have lived before civilization began just to meet a specimen in tbe flesh.

An Unbiased Charge.

A group of lawyers were telling stories in the corridors of the city hall the other day, when one related a tele of a justice of the peace in one of the southern states where the narrator lived in his earlier days. A case was being tried before a jury in the justioe's oourt, there being a large number of witnesses on both sides. The lawyers contended fiercely and the trial dragged on until the taking of evidence and the arguments before the jury had been concluded.

"Well, gentlemen, are yon through?" asked the justice, addressing himself to the lawyers.

Upon their reply in the affirmative he then addressed' himself to the jury, saying: ^"Gentlemen, it is now tbe duty of the court to say something to yon. You have heard the evidence of many witnesses and have heard what the lawyers have said. I will say that I know all the witnesses and know them to be such disreputable persons that it will not be necessary for yon to pay any attention to what they have said even under oath. Not one of them is to be believed. As for the lawyers, they are such scoundrels you need pay no attention to what tbey have said, and as for the two litigants, they are so mean it doesn't make any difference which one of them gets the worst of your decision. Retire and deliberate."—Washington Post.

Queerest Town In England. The most curious town in England is Northwich. There is not a straight street nor, in fact, a straight house in the place. Every part of it nas the appearance of having suffered from the visitation of an earthquake. Northwich is the center of the salt industry in Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides of the town are big salt works, with their engines pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. At a depth of some 200 or 800 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the upper crust of earth is correspondingly weakened and the result is an oooasional subsidenoe. These subsidences have a "pulling" effect on the nearest buildings, and they are drawn all ways, and give the town an extremely dissipated appearance.— New York Sun.

He Wm Actually Cleaal

Colonel Ibbetson, who died recently in England, was a capital whist player and an insatiable reader. In the interval between games he invariably plunged into a book, never indulging in futile discussions about tbe plays. He was the hero of tbe last sensational elopement to Gretna Green. Forty-four years ago he ran off with tbe Lady Adela Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Jersey. Tbey were never fully pardoned, as it was thought that she had been guilty of a grave misalliance. Indeed the story is told that when they got back to town Lady Adela was reported to have exolaimed to her sister, "I bad no idea till I married that the lower orders wdre so clean in their habits."
