Yesterday noon W. H. Connor, business manager of THE NEWS went into THE Gazette office and made a contract with Wm. C. Ball editor and one of the proprietors of that paper for five hundred lines of locals to be published in that paper advertising THE NEWS. Tbe price to be paid was agreed upon—$25 payable monthly as used. The five hundred tines were to be used at the option of THE NEWS during the next ninety days, This contract was drawn up and signed by Mr. Connor for THE NEWS and was accepted by Wm. C. BalJ, who wrote the word "accepted" across tbe face and signed it at the bottom at the regular space reserved for the signature. Following is an exact copy of the contract
TERKE HAUTE, Ind., March
MCMTS.W,
14,1880.
a. Ball & Co.,
jPubtfeber* of the Tern Haute Gazette, are hereby authorized to insert an adyertiae merit occupying 500 line* local at oar option daring tbe next nin#tvdays for which *re agree to pay twenty-five dollars.
Thfc above In subject to the following condi lions Payment# to be made monthly.
Signed: NBWB PuBUSHING Co.. W. fl. Conner.
Accepted W. C. Ball & Co. This morning, in compliance with tbe above contract, Mr. Connor took the fol lowing advertisement into the Gazette office and handed the matter to Spencer F. Ball, bu^ness manager of that paper. Mr. Ball, without stopping to read the matter through, refused to publish it His reason was that he would not advertise a competitor in the columns of his paper. This statement was mode in the face of the fact that the Gazette did advertise THK HEWS when the latter was first started eight months ago. The matter as given below is exactly as it was written for the Gazette:
THK DAILY NEWS has now been in existence 4dght months and has tbe largest circulation of any daily paper in the city. The reason for this remarkable fact is that THE Nswsis non-partisan and is published in the interest of no political party or faction, but in the interest of good government in our city, state and national affairs. It is supported by all classes of citizens who believe in a wise and economic administration of public affairs and not in permitting city affairs to be run as a political machine. Business men should be in the city council. Men who cannot run their own business certainly can not administer the affairs of a city. These are some reasons why the citizens aid and support THK NEWS. The circula tion of the THE NEWS is now 500 larger than any other city paper and within tbe ensuing year it will double the number of papers circulated within the city limits. It h$s given the routes to its carriers who willjreap the benefit of all increase in its circulation. By this method the route carriers are able to earn from 13 to $4 per week, Besides this THE NEWS has made arrangements with the well known and popular clothing firm of Pixley & Co. to the boy whose route snows the greatest increase between now and Saturday, May 3d, his choice of a brand new Spring suit of clothes from Pixlex Co.'s immense stock. Give the carrier your subscription. Remember the route boy reaps the benefit, besides it gives him a chance to win a fine suitof clothes. Tits NEWS is only ten cents a week and i* the best daily paper printed in Terre Haute.
The contract was made for the purpose of putting the fact that TBE NEWS has the largest circulation of any paper in the city and is consequently the best advertising medium in the city before tbe few readers of the Gazette who are not fortunate enough to take THE NKWB. THE NEWS believes that advertising pays and is willing to pay for an advertisement in another paper even though its circulation is not nearly as large as that of Tits NEWS. The contract was made on a purely business basis was made in good faith and was not made to be broken. This breach of contract on the part of the Gazette shows that there is a screw loose some where. They are evidently afraid for their readers to know that Tits NEWS can be had for less moaey than the Gazette and that Tas NEWS has the largest circulation of any paper in the city. They are adverse to the fact going before their readers among the business men that THE NEWS is nhe beet advertising medium in the city. The columns of THE NEWS areopen to any and all advertisers who wish to advertise a legitimate business, the same as all newspapers operated on a businea* basis, should be, vx%k yfi

QUEENSLAND'S WONDERFUL WELL
tt
Reader* to
Throw* Fountain of Water a Hand red Feet la UM» Air.
The artesian well at Charleville, on the Warrega, river, Queensland, is the newest and most remarkable instance of the natural resources of marvelous Australia. The well is situated quite near the railway station, but in one of the most unlikely places that could have been imagined. Who on earth would have expected that this artesian yell, which is the best in the world, or at all events yields the largest amount of water, was sunk on the top of a sandy hummock? Yet so it is. Tbe rate was chosen by the hydraulic engineer, J. B. Henderson, for reasons only known to himself, but which have been amply justified.
Crossing the swampy fiat leading to this hummock, attention hi drawn to a wide channel cut through the drift sand, and it is explained that the overflow of water had done this ere the apparatus for controlling it had been obtained. The bore itself looked a harmless enough kind of thing. It might have been taken for a rather high standpipe placed in an idiotic position in tbe bottom of a hole sixty or seventy yards long, thirty broad and ten feet deep. But a moment's observation showed that the harmless looking standpipe had made the hole. As a matter of fact, the water when it was tapped ruehed up in such a volume that it washed away the sand around the bore in a few minutes and cleaned out the foundations of the derrick and threatened to wreck the whole contrivance. If they had not got a plug in it pretty soon it would have washed Charleville into the Warrega. On top of tbe pipe there has been fixed a right angle bend, so that the water can be turned in any direction.
When the visitors arrived at the bore it was seen that the water was trickling in a tiny stream from this bend into the thirsty sand below, but in a few minutes the scene was changed. Mr. Woodley, of the Queensland Boring company, which sunk the well, opened the valve, and with every turn of the wheel the tbln""8tream thickened and deflected from*" its former perpendicular course. Gradually the volume of water increased and began to roar through the pipe almost like steam blowing from a safety valve. Every moment the sight became more interesting, and when the valve was fully opened it was a spectacle to wonder at. Rushing from the bore by its own force, ejecting itself for a distance of thirty feet in a horizontal di rection, came a column of water white as milk in appearance. In a second or two it churned up the sand before it into coffee colored mud.
This was the first singular thing noticed, for the falling white torrent, driv ing before it, as it seemed, the brown mud, produced a whimsical effect, like the pouring of milk and coffee into the same cup at the same time. But this did not last long. In a few moments a little pond was formed, which filled up until the level of the surrounding ground was reached, and then there was seen at first a rivulet and then a stream jushing down the hillside. When it is said that this well fills a 400 gallon tank in thir teen seconds it can readily be understood that ail this did not take long. Tbe valve was next closed and the right angle bend removed. On the second opening of the valve there was witnessed a spectacle at once beautiful and majestic, and which waff well worth the long journey from Brisbane to see. The water rose in a snowy column, like a stalagmite of wool, to a height of thirty feet and descended in a hissing torrent so heavy and close as to quitq obscure the pipe itself, 16 was a marvel of beauty and a picture that will never be effaced from the memories of those who witnessed it.
Subsequently a nozzle one inch in diameter was attached to the pipe, and, when the water was turned on, it ascended to a height of nearly 100 feet, returning to earth in a heavy shower or dissipating in mist clouds, through which the rainbows played with an effect that was beautiful as it was wonderful, ft seemed that the visitors would never tir* of looking at it. They simply stood and gazed, hardly saying a word, for in tho presence of this marvelous phenomenon speech seemed poor and commonplace, and the mind simply gave itself u'p to childlike wonderment.—Queenalanderps®

It Isn't a Failure With Them.
This morning a little man with heavy black whiskers and a rather large man with no whiskers at all, came into the county clerk's office. It was very evident that they were after a license to wed and the flame of color in the larger man's cheek indicated that he it was who anticipated the important move., Tbe clerk furnished the legal document and wrote these names on the marriage record: ''John llackett and Sarah J, Hauser." Mr. Hackett repaired immediately to Felsenthul's office, where he was joined by the lady of his love, and the justice spoke the words and caused them to execute the maneuvers that made them man and wife. He was a widower and she a widow.
Exciting: Runaway.
The Terre Haute Transfer Company's baggage wagon was standing in front of the National house yesterday afternoon when the team became frightened and ran South on Sixth street At the corner of Ohio the runaway team encountered one of the company's omnibuses. The driver of the latter turned his team in close to the sidewalk but the runaway team ran into the bus, knocked one of the horses down and ran the pole through tbe side of the bus. The driver was thrown from his seat but strange as it may seem was not injured. The only damage done was the hole which was knocked in tbe bus.

A RUSH FOR THE STRIP.
The
Boomers Invade the Cherokee Nation by the Thousands.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., March 14.—"On to the Strip." That was the signal for the invasion of the Cherokee outlet by the anxious "boomers," who have been gathered on the border of tho strip for the past fortnight It echoed around the "outlet" from midnight until dawn yesrday and when the sun rose over th»* promised land the invasion had fairly begun. All day long lines of canvas covered prairie schooners with*their many crews, drew their lengths into the coveted land. Last night it wus estimated that from twenty different points of entrance fully 20,000 people have passed the border, and half that number staked their claims. The strip is invaded.
For a month past, in fact, ever since President Harrison issued the noted proclamation ordering the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association to vacate the •outlet," boomers have been gathering on the frontier anxious to be among the first on the ground that they might select the choicest land for the*r prospective homes and claims when permitted by the government. The boomers were all sorts of people and they came in all sorts of ways. The tramps, and there were plenty of them, came on foot the specu iative real estate dealer, with his paid claimants, and there were plenty of them, too, came by rail, and the bonaflde settlers, who were in a great majority, came in their covered farm wagons, converted, for the time being, into a combination dwelling and vehicle. Some of the latter who could not afford the luxury even of a wagon, tramped to the border, besides their borses laden with household goods, and many of them bearing their children—too small to walk and too heavy to-be carried. The latter were mostly supplied with tents. Tbe temporary objective points of the boomers were tbe rivers and creeks, whose banks for two weeks past have been dotted with tents and white capped wagons. The settlers had not been on the ground long before the ben eflts of organization presented themselves to their minds, and at till tbe principal points of assembly "boomer" associations of various kinds, with various motives, have been formed.
The invasion came with a rosh. No one expected it, not even the settlers .themselves. The tenants of the strip, the Cherokee Live^wk Association and the agents, were taken entirely unaware, unlet Mayes. Of wie Uueionee JNation, had placed at the disposal of the former a contingent of Indian police to drive out occasional settlers, hnt this was entirely too insignificant a f. me to oppose the invaders, and they were powerl.gs to with tbe stream of immigrants.
taken no precaution to arrest a possible movement of the settlers, and it was not until early the next morning that the military appeared upon the scene.

The Mississippi Floods Cause Consternation at Slew Orleans-Compro-mise Affected To-day in the „..., Case Against Ives. nV*
TKOY, N. Y., March 15.—As the result of recent rains a heavy landslide occurred at 4 o'clock this morning on Warrant Hills, at the head ot Adams street Immense masses of earth fell, destroying in their course a double, two-story* brick house on Haverman avenue occupied by four families. Immense crowds were attcacted by the crash and pressed in from all sides toward the scene of devastation. A number of willing hands were found to aid in removing the ruins and rescuing tbe victims. The Are department was also called out to aid in the work. Annie Burns, aged 8, Mrs. Canton, an old lady and Mrs. Hagan, her daughter, were soon discovered under the ruins and taken out dead while several others were dragged out more or less injured. Therw is a scene of wild excitement in the vicinity of.the disaster which is intensified by fear of another slide. The earth on the hill being in a very ahakv condition.
The injured are, Patrick" Coniield, Sr. and wife Patrick Confleld, Jr. and wife John A. Iiern and wife and three children, all badly cut and bruised. Their house was torn from its foundation and carried into the street and crushed into a shapeless mass, the only part remaining intact was the roof. The land shdiug against a large brick house on the opposite side of the street wasBtopped, preventing large destruction of life and property. A small house near that destroyed was also crushed.
THE MISSISSIPPI OVERFLOW.
At Nome Places It Has (lone lteyond Any Previous Record.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 15.—The river rose one-tenth to-day and is now 36.4 on the guage—the highest point ever recorded—and is still rising. The steamer Emma Etheridge arrived from Panucah and, after loading with lumber, sacks and supplies, left for the threatened districts below the Arkansas river. The consensus of opinion here is that tbe levees ou the Mississippi side will be able to withstand the pressure of the great Hood.
At Natchez the river shows 46.U stationary, notwithstanding the grvat rainfall of the past twenty-four hours. The planters are now moving their stock out of the swamps pnd preparing for the worst The Tensas river is rising and the people over there are becoming moat apprehensive. The weather is clearing up some and getting colder.
At Newport, Ark,, the rivers commenced running over the levees at 10 o'clock last night, and the whole town except Front street is now from four inches to four feet under water. Business is entirely suspended. The White and Black rivers commenced falling this afternoon, and it is hoped the worst is over. The damage to the adjacent country is immense. Oiltrough county, containing 75,000 acres of cultivated lands, is now under water from six inches to twenty feet The losses in Newport are very heavy, regardless of the loss of business.
The work of protection against the advancing waters is being actively pushed forward to-day aod an additional four font levee is being thrown up in front of the city which with a large force of men at work will probably be completed Sunday night The most serious crevasse along the Louisiana levees is in 8t. James parish on the line of the Mississippi Eiver Valley road. The water has not risen ppreciably since last nigbt and in spite many bad places in front draining machines are keeping the. city well cleared of wafer.
