OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Henry Nealcom, who has been connected With the Havens & Geddea Co. retail store and the old Buckeye store for the past twenty-one years, resigned his position on Saturday and will open a general store of his own on east Main, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets.

Rev. Win. Mitchell will deliver an address on "The Episcopal Church" at St. Stephen's, Sunday morning. The choir of St. Stephen's will render a song service at St. Luke's, Sunday evening. An offering will be taken for the mission.

Mrs. X. M. Westfall fell on Main street, Saturday night, and wrenched her right ankle, breaking the ligiments and disabling her. She will be confined to her room for two or three weeks.

C. O. Ebel's new directory was issued this week, and gives general satisfaction. It is probably the best directory the firm has ever issued. It contains 20,080 names, and according to that we have a population of 43,000 within the city limits, and about 2,000 living in the immediate suburbs. There are only 230 Smiths in the directory, and the commonest name next to that is Brown, there being 163 of them. The book was printed by the Moore & Langen Printing Co., and of course is a model of typography.

James P. Light, formerly interested in the Vigo Heal Estate Co., of this city, was arrested in Seattle, Wash., this week on the charge of embezzling $13,000 from the Seattle & Yukon steamship company, of which he was vice president, and which recently failed. Light came back from the Klondike last spring with fabulous stories of his wealth and no doubt interested many wealthy Chicagoans in his mining enterprise. He received considerable notoriety through the newspapers on account of his gold stories. He claims that he will be able to prove his innocence of the charge made against him.

Much regret was expressed this week at the assignment of Wood, Williams & Co., the furniture dealers on south Fourth street. The firm is composed of W. J. Wood, Charles Williams Vnd Harriet C. Wood, Mr. Williams being the active manager of the business. He is a bright, active business man, and has given his entire time and attention to the business. The stock was assigned to Elmer F, Williams, and a mortgage was filed to secure notes held b^ Sarah J. Travis and Marian C. Tuell for 11,000. The liabilities are In the neighborhood of $14,000, and the value of the stock exceeds this greatly. It Is to be hoped that the assignee's careful management will enable the firm to come out of its temporary fembarasment in good «hape.

The community was greatly shocked yesterday morning by the annnouncement that the dead body of Edward Gilbert. Jr., only son of Edward Gilbert had been found lying near the tracks of the Big Four on the grade just west of the river. He had died from the effects of a pistol shot in the right side of his head, near the eye, and the pistol with which the deed was done was found lying near the body. Young Gilbert was but eighteen years of age, and for some tliue had been a clerk in the office of 11. J. Baker, doing his collecting. He attended a reception at Duenweg's academy Thursday night, and the last seen of him alive was when he escorted his sister Emma, from the dance to her grandmother's on north Seventh street. There is an air of mystery connected with the affair, that Coroner Payne is having considerable trouble trouble in explaining. The boy waa an inveterate cigarette amoker, and was of something of a despondent nature, but so far as known nothing had happened recently to discourage him to such an extent as to take his own life. He wore a pair of new patent leather shoes, but they did not show the effects of his long walk to the place where he was found, and this adds to the mystery of the affair. He wrote a number of letters the evening before the tragedy, but one of them was destroyed by his father, and the others have not yet turned up. They may furnish the explanation.' He was an only son, a young uian of considerable promise and his tragic death comes as a severe blow to his father and the relatives and friends. His funeral hi talcing place this afternoon.

Elmer F. Williams, awignee of Wood, Williams & Co., makes announcement on another page of a great redaction sale of that stock, and offers some very desirable bargains in the stove, furniture and carpet line.

The fine new academy hall at St, Mary*® is being dedicated to-day with impressive ceremonies. The fifty-eighth anniversary of the foundation of the institution is also being celebrated. Bishop Radatiiacber, of Fort Wayne, held high man of thanksgiving this morning, and preached the dedicatory sermon. The ceremonies will conclude to morrow with a sermon by Father Joseph Chastrand. of Indianapolis. A special train was ran over this morning, taking former students and friends of the school to the ceremonies.

The street fair booths were removed from Main street early in the week, and the workmen are rapidly dismantling the arches that were a prominent feature of the decorations. Main street presents an odd appearance after the hurly-burly of laat week. The street fair association is out several hundred dollars a* a result of the fair, but it is thought that when all the money sabecribed has been collected that there wilt be very Uttla, If any, shortage*.

attended the fair at Crawfordsvjlle this week, but the bad weather prevailed all week, and made a dismal failure of the affair. The sentiment among Terre Haute business men seems in favor of a repetition of the fair next year. With the experience gained in this year's venture the fair next year, with added features, can be made even more successful. One thing seems certain that there will be a very strong effort made next year to keep out the hoochie-coochie show's that formed such a strong feature of the west end part of the fair.

On the petition of Trustee A. M* Higgins, Judge Piety has ordered the sale of the plant and good will of the Terre Haute Carriage and Buggy Co. The sale will take pace on Saturday, the 5th day of November.

The use of that popular cereal product, Shredded Wheat Biscuit, as an article of food is being demonstrated in the handsome show window of the Kleeman Dry Goods Co., by the Misses Graham and Caughlin, representing the company. The display is in charge of W. S. Maguire, who will visit the local merchants in the interests of the product. A very fine display is made at Kleeman's, and attracts much attention. The public is invited to call and visit the display, which will be continued next week.

Gunsaulus, Prof. J. B. DeMotte, Rev. Anna Shaw and Leland T. Powers will follow. The other concerts will be the Fadette Orchestra, Imperial Quartette and the Chicago University Glee Club.

Danger* of Poar Eipre»» Rldin*. In The Century there is an article on "The Pony Express," between St Joseph, Mo., and San Francisco, written by W. F. Bailey. The author says

Considering the danger encountered, the percentage of fatalities was extraordinarily small. Far more station employees than riders were killed by the Indians, and even of the latter more were killed off dnty than on. This can be explained by the fact that the horses furnished the riders, selected as they were for speed and endurance, were far superior to the inounts of the Indians.

There is only one case on record where a rider was caught, and that was owing to bis having been surrounded. This occurred in Nebiaska, along the Platte river. He was shot, and several days later his body was found. His pony, still bridled and saddled, was also found with the mail intact. It was transferred to another horse and soon forwarded to its destination. In laying out the route through the Indian country pains were taken to avoid anything that would afford cover for an ambushed foe.

One of the greatest dangers encountered by the pony express riders was from immigrants and others who mistook them for Indians. Iu thoBe days it was Bhoot first and investigate afterward, provided the shooter survived to make an investigation. A number of the riders met their death in this way, being mistaken for Indians,' horse thieves or road agents. It is a strange but notable fact that the Indians often stood and saw the daring riders fly past without offering to molest them. There was'a mystery about it that made it "bad medicine" to interfere with them. Su perstitions as they were, they seldom bothered with anything that they could not understand.

A Similar Ca»e.

The Indian may be unsophisticated by the side of the white man, but Bishop Whipple, writing in The Temple Magazine, shows that he has a dry sense of humor.

His Indian flock was visited by

He sat down, and at the same moment an old chief sprang to his feet. "Look at me I" he said. "The winds of 55 winters have blown over my head and silvered it gray, but they have not blown away my brains." "'That conference was ended," the bishop laconically.

Now is your chance to buy Furniture, Carpets, Stoves and House Furnishings, such as you positively never had before in Terre Haute. This entire $16,000 stock must be converted into cash. Read the items, then consider that they are only a handful of random ones taken from this immense stock. They will give you an idea of the COST-REGARDLESS determination with which the assignee has set himself about converting it. After next Monday cost prices cut no figure. You surely do not mean to let such an opportunity as this slip by.
