OF LOCAL INTEREST.

^Henry Mansbolt, foreman of the car orks planing mill, died yesterday shortly fter nine o'clock, at his home, 1226 College enue. He went to work at seven o'clock, eeling perfectly well, but at nine complained of feeling badly, and walked home, le died five minutes later, supposedly of eart disease. |_

Drs. C. F. and V. V. Williams moved into their new dental parlors in the Beach block this week, and feel justly proud

The painters, paper hangers and decorators are working night and day to get Myers' Bros.' new rooms ready for business by the 1st of October when their new 'department will be opened. Mr. J.

Frankle, of Louisville, is to have charge of the new department of ladies' cloaks and furnishings, and will be here on Monday. He has had many years experience, and will make a notable addition to our city. The clerks in his departments will all be selected here at home, and applications for positions are now being received at the store.

Captain E. B. Alien has been given the contract for making two sets of tax duplicates for the city, in which it is under stood he will be assisted by Ewing Patterson. The price bid, $425, is very low for the amount and character of the work. It is not the first experience of Captain Alltsn in the city offices, as he formerly held the office of city clerk, and his signature on the old records, is as much like his signature to-day as it is possiple to be. It is expected tho duplicates will be ready the 1st of January.

Webster Davis, ex-mayor of Kansas City, and at present assistant secretary of the interior department, opened the Republican campaign with a speech at the court house last night, and made a most excellent impression. He is a good speaker, and is in great demand throughout the west, of which he will make a tour.

The races and the weather bureau did not hitch this week, and with the prospects flattering for the most successful meeting in the history of the Trotting Association, a heavy and continued rain Wednesday night .put the -track in such bad condition that the races were declared off. The track was in splendid condition on Wednesday, aud the driver of Star Pointer gave it as his opinion that that wonderful horse would be able to reduce his record on Thursday, when the trial was set. Thursday the track was knee deep in mud, and it will bo a week before it will be in condition. It is greatly to be regretted, for the association will be out considerable money as a result of the abandonment of the meeting, and that without giving a thorough trial of the reduced admission fee.

Tho gravel road feeling in this county is becoming very active. A petition was filed with the auditor this week for the construction of several miles of gravel roads iu Linton township. One piece of road, a little over six miles in length, through the center of the township, it is said, will fill in a link of similar roads between Kvansville a6d Chicago.

Terre Haute's success in developing crack drill teams is most phenomenal, no other city iu the couutr»* having so many first-class organIxationsof a semi-military nature. The success of Canton McKeen at Boston this week, added to that of the Chieftain's League at Frankfort and Indianapolis, and that of the two Uniformed Ranks, Knights of Pythias, at the latter place, has created so much interest that a movement is on foot looking towards the organisation of a battalion of uniformed companies, with battalion officers, etc., for purposes of display movements and dress parade during the street fair. A full battalion of four companies could be organised, and a dress parade and inspection would be a pleasing spectacle for that week, which is going to be the most I notable in Terre Haute's history. A meeting will probably be called to discuss the matter on the return of Canton McKeen from Boston next week.

Thomas W. Kinser's pacer, Indiana, has won &.3S0 in purses this year thus far, and this has tietted a fair sum for his owner, over and above the expense of his care and driving. In the race he was entered here he was looked upon as a sure winner of first money. #750, and but for the rain bis winnings up to date would have been frt.000- The other fast pacer from Terre Haute, Parker S,. was driven by his owner. Will Kivit*. in the 2.-06 pace on Wednesday, and for the first time this season failed to set a portion of money. He was put against a lot of very fast ones, however, and his defeat was expected by hb owner, who made a creditable showing with him.

Co. is receiving many deserved honors aince the members returned from Indianapolis. Tuesday evening the Y. M. C. A. gave them a banquet at the association rooms, and next week the W. R. C. and G. A. R. will entertain the members at the armory. Manager Barhydt entertained them at the Grand on Thursday tvudog,

the splendid place that has been fitted up for them, according to their own ideas, added to those of Architect Vrydagb. [•hey have the largest and most complete arlore in the Btate, if not in the "frest, with every modern convenience for the care and entertainment of their patients. With new appliances, new equipments, etc., they are in a portion to add to their already well established reputation as careful, painstaking and competent dentists.

and altogether they are having a much better time than any other company of the 159th. The people of Terre Haute feel very kindly towards Co. B, and while it was not permitted to go to the front, Its members enlisted with that end in view, and are entitled to as much, credit as thoswf who had the opportunity offered them. The members of the company are having a good time. In addition to their regular pay, which continues during their furlough, each private and non-commis-sioned officer receives a ration allowance of twenty-five cents a day and a clothing allowance of thirty-one cents, so that as a matter of fact while they are here at home they receive nearly twice as much pay as when in camp.

Chas. O. Ebel, the directory man, has had his force working night and day in order to complete the new city directory before the Street Fair takes place, so the strangers can find their friends. The work will be out in time and will show a handsome increase in population, notwithstanding the hard times.

Superintendent E. P. Gilkison and Receiver A. M. Higgins, of the Terre Haute Carriage & Buggy Company, have returned from St. Louis, where they have been attending the convention of National Carriage Builders. They secured volume of new ideas in buggy construc tion and will surprise the public with some stylish vehicles for the fall trade.

Charles J. Roach, a son of Councilman Joseph J. Roach, was electrocuted at the fair grounds Monday morning by seizing a live wire in one of the ticket offices where he was to have been employed during the week of the races. He was eighteen years of age, and most highly esteemed in a large circle of personal friends.

Do You Read

What people are saying about Hood's Sarsaparilla? It is curing the worst cases of scrofula, dyspepsia, rheumatism and all forms of blood disease, eruptions, sores boils and pimples. It is giving strength to weak and tired women. Why should you hesitate to take it when it is doing so much for others?

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.

One Hundred Thousand Grateful Soldiers. These war times have tried men's souls In many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud of privation and endurance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war began—for when they discovered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided to provide them, free of cost, with enough lor every man, and have already given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of "Battle Ax Plug" and "Duke's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total oost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars.

This work has been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters In each camp so that every camp and every hospital of the United States Army has been supplied with enough tobacco for every man and the sailors on thirty United States Ships in Cuban waters have shared with the soldiers this most welcome of all "rations."

Perhaps it will be only fair to remember when we hear the remark again that "corporations have no souls," that there is one American corporation whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in "practical-kindness."

Electric Ice Cream,

Cheap Money.

We hear much of cheap money in the east, but when the technicalities, delays, vexations, commission and charges are all counted, the borrower finds it far cheaper to go the Terre Haute Trust Company when he wants a loan or mortgage on good real estate, or on collateral security of bonds, or building and loan stock. It is a home institution, it has the money on hand and makes loans in amounts to suit borrowers on the most accommodating terms without delay, and at as low rates as the eastern companies. Why have the delays and vexations of dealing with the agents of eastern companies when yon can be accommodated on better terms at home. If you want a loan go direct to the Terre Haute Trust company.

We will close our store on Monday, but will be opened for business on Tuesday morning.

As Was Done Unto Him.

Catching at the stranger's coat tail he murmured in a deprecating tone "Gould you give me a little assistance sir?" The stranger turned and looked him over. His eyes were bloodshot his clothes ditty his whole appearance decided the worse for wear. "What do yon want?" was the reply to the tramp. "A job after I get a square meal,' said the tramp. "What can yon do?" asked the stran ger. "I can keep books, sell goods, drive a delivery wagon, compound prescriptions, set type and farm work."

The stranger scribbled a few words on a card, handed the (ramp $1 and said: "Take this card to this address, and I think it will get you work. Take that dollar, get a bath, a shave, a hair cut, something to eat and a drink of whisky. That will brace you to meet my fxiend. So long!" "There's just one thing more," said the tramp. "How do yon happen to give me just $1 and all these, directions with it?" "Because I got$l from a man on this very corner abGut ten years ago," said the stranger, "just as yon are getting it from me. and I'm passing up his advice and his money just for luck."— Chicago Chronicle.

Bedtime In Canada.

Any one who has visited Canada realizes the difference between Yankee hnstling and the easy going way they do things np there. "I'Hiould love to go visiting in Canada," says a tired wanderer, "if the people there ever went to bed." "They never go to bed, and they never get np," commented a Hibernian who had been there.

Something must be wrong with the old axiom of how to be healthy, wealthy and wise, for the first at least these Canadians are, and they rarely go to bed much before midnight, nor breakfast much before 9 o'clock. It is an old country custom handed down and comfortably enjoyed. The 9:30 p. m. bedtime of American domesticity is there unknown, and the 7:S0 breakfast belongs solely to the lowest laboring classes. "Oh, yes, I feel splendid this morning. I got to bed early and hod a good sleep," said a young man, who had been complaining of weariness and lack of rest. "What time did you retire?" asked the inquisitive American. '-'Oh, real early," was the reply. "Soon aftei the clock had struck 12."—Troy Times.

The Astute Lion.

One day a toothless lion, whose muscles were unstrung by age, lay in shady place by the streamlet side.

He set np a dismal groaning, which soon drew a crowd of hyenas around him. "What is the matter?" they asked.

He explained to them that the days of his kingship were over, and with tears pouring down his face protested that he was unable to defend himself against even the weakest of his enemies.

On learning this the hypocritical sympathy before shown by the hyenas changed at once to open malice. They threw themselves upon the prostrate monarch and worried him with their teeth, A r» I

Inside of five minutes they all lay rigid in death. "Golly," chuokled the lion, "I'm glad I took the precaution to dust my hide with strychnin^ before I tested the kindness of these good friends. A fellow learns something by having been in politics."

So saying he calmly went to sleep.— Criterion.

His Wont Offense.

When it was proposed to lessen the list of crimes punished by death, Lord Eld on objected to the nocse being banished in cases of petty shoplifting. The small shopkeepers will be ruined by this exemption," said the old Tory lord ohancellor.

Another Tory, a judge, so venerated tho sovereign that he included in his regard any article belonging to the king, no matter how far removed from actual lession. A tailor had been condemned for the murder of a soldier, and the jndge tacked on this addition to the sentence of death: "And not only did you murder him, bnt you did thrust or push or pierce oi project or propel the lethal weapon through the belly band of his breeches, which were his majesty's!"

Past Salaries of Actors.

A number of autograph letters of Edmund Keau supply some interesting information about the salaries of actors early in the century. One relates to an offer by Mr. Ellison offering Kean £3 a week as acting manager of "the new theater in Wych street." Later this rose as high as £25 a month. In 1826 Kean was offered $12,000 a year to go to America. In the prime of his popularity he received £200 for a week in Edinburgh, and apparently reached the highest point when Mr. Bnnn wrote from the Theater Royal, Dublin, on Feb. 8, 1829, and offered him £50 a night to play in Dublin and Cork.— Liverpool Mercury.

Life of Battleship.

Naval experts have put down the active life of a modern battleship at about 15 years. A hundred years ago battleships lasted nearly six times as long and were on active service nearly the whole time of their commission. The Victor}, for instance, was 40 years old when abb acted as Nelson's flagship at the memorable battle of Trafalgar. A lino battle ship, the Royal William, was built at Chatham in 1670 and was nv-t broken np until 1818, being rebuilt several times before her final demise.
