^c^^Terre HAUTE, IND. THE MONK INTRODUCTION CO.

Commencing SUNDAY Eve., July 24.

I E I E O O A N he Mental Marvel. Mr. BUD SNYDER, Kin* of the Wheel.

OE LOCAL INTEREST.

John Austermiller, who was a deputy under City Engineer Simpson, had the good fortune to retain bis position under Engineer Sparks until Tuesday, when he was removed and his position given to James Royse, a graduate of the Polytechnic, and a member of the well-known Royse family of this county.

It costs something to heat the city schools during the winter terras, from twelve to fifteen hundred tons being required for the purpose. The school board have let this contract to the Chicago & Indiana Block Coal Co. at the rate of $1.77 per ton for Harrison block, they being the lowest bidders for coal of this quality.

Terre Haute has a dog that leads all records as a thief catcher. One night this week a burglar attempted to enter the residence of Charles Hiatt, a street car conductor living on south Thirteenth street. The intruder had put one leg through an open window in an attempt to enter the house when Mr. Dog seized him and held him until his master put in an appearance. The would-be burglar begged so hard to be released that Hiatt finally permitted him to go. The dog ought to be added to the night police force and de tailed as a burglar catcher, especially as the night prowlers have been doing busi ness here the past week.

Dr. H. C. Medcraft is confined to his house as the result of a nasty runaway last Saturday evening, which might have proved more serious. The harness broke while driving on Putnam avenue, scaring the horse, which ran away and threw the doctor and his brother-in-law out, the latter receiving no serious injuries. The doctor was severely injured, striking on his knee, which may prove to be broken.

Edward J. Keating, the well-known stone cutter, who was a member of the Neukom Klondike expedition which left hero early this spring for the new Eldorado, returned home this week utterly disgusted with his experience In that forlorn region. His party made a thorough campaign through the Copper river district, without finding any of the precious metal, and his description of the hardships prospectors are compelled to contend with is likuly to dampen the enthusiasm of those who are still imbued with the Klondike fever. H. F. Schmidt received an order this week from Ben Van Borssum, who was reported to be in San Francisco, to some repairs for his watch to be forwarded to him in Alaska, which looks as if he had not given up the search for gold. With Van Borssum are Albert Neukom, Robert Jackson, and Lawreuce Forbeck.

And still another political ticket has been placed in the field, inviting the suffrages of the people of Vigo county in the coming election. It is that of the Social Democracy, which represents the Debs fact ion of the original Social Democracy, which split at the Chicago convention some time ago, those who believe in the colonization scheme withdrawing and organising auothor society. The uew ticket was nominated at a meeting held at the rooms of the Central Labor Union on Tuesday night: The following are the nominees! Judge of the Superior court, Samuel M. Youug, Sr. prosecutiug attorney, Charles D. Wilgus treasurer, Clarence E. Kingery auditor, William Ehrenhardt clerk, Charles R. Walta

Hoar surveyor, Mock Turtle joint representatives, Frank Storz and James O'Neal representatives, Otis M. Schroer and William C. Casey. The central campaign committee will be composed of D. D. Seldon, chairman Judson O'Neal, secretary C-, R. Waltz, William Ehrenhardt, H. A. Melville, S. M. Young and Herman Stuempfle. No nomination was made for the Third district commissionership. All of the nominees are residents of Terre Haute.

Calvin L. Harris, formerly a well-known resident of this city, but who has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. C. R. Long, in Indianapolis, for some time past, died there on Tuesday, aged sixtyfive years. He was a member of the old Seventy-first Indiana, and served throughput the war. For many years he was in charge of the painting department of the Clift & Williams Co. The body was brought here for burial, the funeral taking place from the residence of his son, Geo. H. tuarris, on north Sixth street.

E. H. Wilvert returned from Washington this week with the report that Co. was badly in need of a mess tent, and enlisting the efforts of Maj. G. W. Krietenstein, started out to raise the money for that purpose. They met with little trouble, and the order for the tent has been placed with Hanley's, and it will soon be forwarded to Camp Alger.

William Mayfield McLean, one of the oldest and most prominent members of the Masonic fraternity in this city, and for many years an employe of the Vandalia shops, died at his home on north Twelfth street Sunday evening, aged seventy eight years. He was a native of England but had lived in this city for the past forty, two years. He was a member of Social lodge, No. 86, A. F. & A. M., and was its secretary for twenty-eight years. His funeral took place on Wednesday from St. Stephen's church, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. His wife and three children survive him, Mrs. Stephson, of Chicago, Miss Maggie MacLean, of this city, and Rev. Thomas W. MacLean, rector of the Episcopal church at Bay City, Mich.

Frank H. Cooper has sold his Grand Opera House cigar store to Frank L. Gilbert, who will place it in charge of Claude Wheatfield, who was connected with the business under Mr. Cooper's management.

Cupid has been getting in his work again among the members of Co. B. Edward P. Buckingham, home from Camp Alger on a seven days' furlough, was married Wednesday to Miss Mary Asbury, a daughter of Isaac Asbury.

Charles Harris, a colored man, driver for Martin Graff, the north Thirteenth street grocer, drove into the water in the gravel pit near the fair grounds last Monday afternoon, to tighten the tires on the wheels of the wagon, and that was the list seen of him until Wednesday morning, when his body floated to the surface. He had evidently driven beyond his depth, became frightened, and drowned. The horse was drowned, also, and was found there Tuesday morning, but it was thought that Harris had fled, as he was charged for an assault on an Italian with whom he had had some trouble. No search was made of the gravel pit for this reason, and it was

Fred B. Brown has been appointed manager of the retail department of the Havens & Geddes Co., succeedingJesse Levering, who disposed of his stock to Messrs. Havens and Geddes, and retired from the company. Mr. Brown's wellknown hustling abilities will make him successful in his new undertaking, and his experience in the store before the change has made him well acquainted with the trade. Mr. Levering and his sons have secured the building to be vacated by the Kleeman Dry Goods Co. next month, and will open a dry goods store at the beginning of fall business. They will leave for ^he east next month to purchase an entire new stock of goods, Their experience and wide acquaintance is a guarantee that they will make a success of their venture.

Hegarty recording secretary, Edward McManus treasurer, J. C. Reilly trustees, William Pfeif, Charles Stoeckle and William McEntee finance committee, Joe Lenniper.

Miss Reba Koopman, of this city, has written a patriotic song, which was placed on sale here this week. It is entitled "The Brave Boys of Our Country."- It is to be sung on the stage in all the leading cities, and is destined to make a great hit. It is Miss Koopman's first attempt at song writing 'for the public. She is a graduate of this year's High School class. The song is dedicated to Company and published by W. H. Paige & Co.

Ross Ash, late of the famous Ninth colored cavalry, arrived in the city yesterday to settle up his grandmother's estate. He is a Terre Haute boy and has been in the cavalry service for a number of years. His time expired on July 4th while he was with his regiment at Santiago, but he expects to re-enlist as soon as he settles his business here.

Major F. C. Crawford, Vandalia paymaster, was a comrade of Gen. Shafter, the hero of Santiago, during the rebellion, and was brigaded with him, when Shafter was major of the Nineteenth Michigan volunteers, Crawford being then chief of staff for Gen. John Coburn. They were captured by the confederates in March, 1862, while on a foraging expedition, and for si* weeks Crawford and Shafter were room-mates in the infamous old Libby prison at Richmond. Their ways parted after the close of the war, but Major Crawford remembers with a great deal of pleasure his acquaintanceship with the Santiago leader, whose 850 pounds enabled him to "sit down" pretty hard on the Spaniards.

HARRISON PARK CASINO.

Next week, commencing Sunday evening, the management has prepared absolutely the best bill of the season for its patrons. The business has been steadily increasing and our town has at last awakened to the fact that the Casino is open every night during the summer season, and they can depend on seeing a good, clean, refined vaudeville bill at prices never before heard of. The bill will include all new faces with the exception of one, and new acts never before seen here.

First on thb list is Budd Snyder, the world's champion of all trick bicycle riders, in a series of feats never before attempted by any one.

Next will be little Gertie Cochran, the mental wonder. She answers like a flash of lightning, purely from memory, thousands of difficult questions on all subjects, biblical history, national history, population of all the largest cities of the earth, dates of discoveries, inaugurations, political history, dates of great battles, with generals officiating and numbers killed and wounded, national debts of all nations, including our tu national debt, giving its exact size every year since the administration of Washington, financial history of world's fairs, including our own great Chicago fair, presidents and vice presidents backwards and forwards, kings and queens of foreign nations, capitals of all states and nations of the earth, current events of the day, and much other valuable information that not one grown person in a million could memorize if given a lifetime in which to do so. There is a standing offer to any man or woman on earth that will name the capital of every state in the Union in the same time as this child. Before the editorial staff of the New York World, little Gertie named the capitals of all the states in onr Union, forty-six in all, in eighteen and one-half seconds. All this she accomplishes without any effort on her part, as this memory is simply a gift from God above. She is at this writing, a bright happy little miss, whose life is one of sunshine -and happiness. r,

Following her will be Miss Josephine Arthur, prima donna soprano. She is

beautiful yonng lady, has a gracious stage Cincinnati, O. presence, and a voice that gives promise of being capable of the highest cultivation. Miss Arthur was the prima donna of

season of '9i-'95, will remember the star feature of the S. M. Young continuous performance, the sisters Mendoza, Cleo and Aimee, the ideals of artistic perfection in their graceful aeriel novelty This is the most refined ladies' act before the public. They created such a furore as was never before known in Terre Haute. They have appeared in the leading vaudeville houses of America, England, Germany and France. They do an act totally unlike any other acrobatic turn before the public.

The famoiUs Ringgold band will giVe a concert at the Park from 7:30 until 8:00 Sunday evening.

This will certainly be one of the strongest bills ever presented in Terre Haute and ought to pack the Casino from end to end. The ride out to the Casino is worth the price of admission, alone. The car service this year is better than ever before. There are always plenty of cars to get the people back down town before eleven o'clock. You can't afford to miss the Bhow next week/* "Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone." Come out and get a good, hearty laugh. See how much brighter the world looks. Take our advice and go out to the Casino to-mor-row night.
