TIOUSE.

JHEOPERA

Promised Improvements Made The public has found out that Manager Naylor, like Grocer Naylor, keeps his word and that George Dickson, lessee, does the same. Commencing at the street, the entrances have all been prettily papered, the contract for this having been let to Brokaw Bros., who have used their customary good taste.

The old curtains in the auditorium have been removed and new, raw silk dado curtains on gilt poles will be substituted. A new and beautiful dado considerably freshens up the appearance of the auditorium. The scenery is to be re-touched and some additions will be made and the proscenium will be altered. In the spaces between the windows several large engravings will be hung. "What are the subjects of the engravings?" asked the writer. "Well, I can't say" replied Mr. Naylor, "Knights and things, but I am not much upon those ancient fellows."

The house looks as fresh and clean as if it had been just built and is in every way in admirable repair. 0 THIRTY-FIRST REGIMENT RE-UNION.

The Agricultural i-»

Contract With the *. JH Society, The reason the committee on the 31st regiment re-union decided to change the location from Hulman's grove on south Third street to the fair grounds was principally that the fences at the former place are defective and it would be impossible to collect admissions. The following is a copy of the offer made by the Agricultural Society which is embodied in a contract:

TERRE HAUTE, lnd., Aug. 19.

This is to certify that the 31st Indiana Volunteers is hereby authorized to use the Vigo county fair grounds for their re-union of 1885, free of charge, except the amphitheatre on said grounds. In condition of the above grant -it is agreed on the part of the aforesaid committee that the Vigo Agricultural Society shall have the privilege of selling stands on the said ground, but on no condition shall malt, vinous or spirituous liquors be sold on said ground.

Ferguson called the meeting to order and in his motion, seconded by S. A. Denton, Lawrence Yaw was chosen chairman and Geo. W. Peters, secretary.

Misses. Ida and Anna Patton left last week for a two weeks visit with relatives at Franklin, Ind. There will be singing at the Independence church next Sunday at 4 o'clock. Quite a number of people about here talk of attending the band contest in Terre Haute, Sunday. The Midland excursion leaving here at 10:42 a. m., and returning at 6:30 in the evening affords a gcod opportunity for those wishing to spend the day there at little expense. William Hall and family are jubilant over the advent of a new boy baby by the way, we venture the assertion that there are more babies in Wabash township than any other in Clark county. Wheat is about all threshed and the yield was just sufficient to make farmers feel sick. One farmer had eleven bushel^ from twenty-seven acres, another seventeen bushels from thirty-six acres. Mr. James Elliott, one of the best and most extensive farmers in this section of the country had in one hundred acres and did not harvest a single bushel. The wheat to be sown this fall will be very small in acreage compared with the amount sown heretofore, as thd farmers have not the seed wheat and say money is scarce and hard to get. Mrs. Ed. Coyle is speading a week with her father 'on the G. A. Schaal farm and Mrs. James Oompton, on Otter Creek. "Uncle Davy" Smith, preached at Independence last Sunday.

Prairieton Paragraphs.

Mrs. Kate Hahn, of Vincennes, formerly of Prairieton, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Jones. James Harlin has one thousand bushels of wheat this season and contemplates sowing one hundred acres this fall. Jim means business. Last Sunday occurred the marriage of Mr. Martin All, of Macksville, to Miss Donie Liston, of Prairieton. Mr. All is a very pupular, deserving young man and is a brother to Trustee David All of Sugar Creek. He has a host of friends. The bride is one of the popular young ladies of Linton. Mahlon Moore, of Tuscola, HI., is visiting his brother, James Moore, this week. G. W. Hurst, the popular grocer of this place has been appointed postmaster. The people are well pleased witn the appointment.

One of the jolliest gatherings that has taken place in this vicinity for some time occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Copeland last Saturday, it being the celebration of the twentyfifth anniversary of their marriage. A number of their friends and relatives came in on them just at twelve o'clock and gave them a complete surprise. They were the recipients of many costly silver presents.

Miss Lettie Walker, of Darwin, 111., is the guest of Miss Sadie Nelson this week.

Squire S. H. Frakes, of Linton, wilx go into the molasses business this fall on a large scale.

John Underwood and his colored wife hava been married sixty years this fall and are as happy as his sunflowers and will in all probability attend the next Centennial.

Last Sunday several buggy loads of hunters from the city went down to the goose pond and put in the day shooting and drinking to the annoyance of the citizens along the road. Nimrods you had better look a little out. If ah example was made of a few it might call the attention of all to the heinousness of the offense.

Cloveriand Cinders,

Grandma Carpenter is slowly convalescing. G. W. Moore is in receipt of a letter from his brother Frank in Iowa. In the letter Frank stated that in another month he would be in Oregon. Mrs. C. M. Dunkin nee McCoskey, of Staunton, visited her mother, Mrs. H. Braddy, Saturday and Sunday. There was a grand game of base ball here Saturday afternoon between the Men and Boys. The result of the game was that the men were simply defeated by a score of 11 to 8. Most of the men were out of the first nine. The age of the members constituting the second nine is from 11 to 20 years. The first nine cannot in no way, shape, form, or fashion cross bats with, and defeat the seconds A(h)men. Rev. Philip Penny occupied the stand on the morning and evening of the 16th. He announced that on Saturday night, August 29th, Bev. E. J. Jenkins wished to revive the class book and would like for all tha members to attend that could. He will preach the next day, morning and night. The family of Father Pritchard was in Terre Haute most of the week. They were called there by the serious illness of their son Henry.

Dr. D. W. Cushman was called to Sullivan last week by the il'nees of their mother.

JOE DAVIS.

Ifr*

Something About Parke County's Trotter. BOCKVTLIIE, Aug. 26. [GAZETTE special.]—Just now Joe Davis, the favorite winning trotter, is the subject of conversation in Rockville circles. His owner, N. W. Cummings, arrived yesterday morning and his trainer, G. Grimes, came today, leaving the horse in Crawfordsville. Next Monday all will start for Omaha and thence to St. Louis to enter the $3,000 purse. Mr. Cummings thinks of going to the Pacific coast for the winter, if the present negotiations for the sale of the horse to an eastern oil man prove fruitless. While and after trotting the Hartford race Joe made many friends and was visited by Bonner, who said the horse was worth $15,000. Joe Davis is not only a fast trotter but a beautiful horse. He is less than seven years old and yet is so composed in a trot that no possible excitement or urging can make him break. His owner values him at $12,000, but if his prospects are considered he is worth Bonner's estimate, $15,000. Joe Davis is the pride of Rockville though and we want him to remain here until he beats MaudS. f.

DADkiri I IP DAI irv PARNELL'S POLICY.

The Press Pounce on Him. LONDON, Aug. 26.—Mr. Parnell's Dubblin speech of yesterday has thoroughly aroused the Conservative press of England. The Times says that no prudent politician can underrate the importance of the action taken by the Irish Nationalists at their conference in Dublin yesterday. "Mr. Parnell's programme," continues the Times, "may however meet with a fate similar to that which befell O'Connell's at the time when Irishmen were as confident as they are. Mr. Parnell demands the repeal of the union. So the Irish question ip no longer a question of local self-govern-ment. This might be acceded to by England, which will never listen to a plan for the separation of Ireland."

The Standard says: "Mr. Parnell had declared war. It will be a shame and a disaster if English statesmen of both parties fail to baffle him. We do not pretend to ignore the danger to which the imperial unity is exposed. Mr. Parnell now holds a strong hand. The late Liberal majoritv inParliament could afford to ignore him, but it will be different in a parliament evenly balanced between two parties. Mr. Parnell has, however, rivals by the score. He knows very well how precarious his tenure of authority is. If both the Whigs and Tories make it clear from the outset that Mr. Parnell's demand for home rule will be met with firm opposition his influence will be doomed."

The News takes advantage of thd Excitement over Mr. Parnell's bold declaration for Irish independence to exhibit the advantage which a large Liberal majority would be to the country. The Liberals, argues the News, are more likely to oppose the Parnell to demands than the Conservatives. id

The Hudnuts' Liberality.!

"We will not soon forget the Hudnuts" remarked Jerry O'Sullivan, one of the members of the Occidental Literary club today. "We would have came out behind with our excursion Sunday on the Ida Lee but they heard of it and handed ua back $25 of the, money paid them," le* -j'

Everybody's Air-Brake.

"Yes, sah," said Uncle Zach, 'Tse watched it forty years an' its as I sez De fust of May an' Christmas day of de same year allers comes on de same week day."

Further conversation proved Uncle Zaoh a most incredulous person. Changing to mention Dr. Carver's feat of breaking glass balL* with a rifle, he said: "I heerd 'bout dat shoo tin'and knowed right off it wasn't squar' dat was a Yankee trick, boss' sho's you born." "What was the trick?" "Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass balls, an' likewise onto de bullets so when de bullet fly outen de gun, it an* de ball jes drawed tergedder, which, in course, brokes de glass—dats de trick!"

Later, Uncle Zach observed a rope running along the side of the car. "Bobb, what's dat line fur?" '•To apply the air-brake in case of accident." Then we had further to explain how the force of the brake was obtained, to which Uncle Zach responded:

"Look a here boss, you sholy don't 'spect me to b'leeve dat foolishness? Why, de biggest harricane whatever blowed couldn't stop dis train, runnin* forty mile a hour. An' you think I gwine to b'leeve a little pipe full of wind under de yars can do it? No, sah-ree!"

There area great many Uncle Zachs who judge everything simply by appearances. The air-brake does not seem to be a very powerful thing, but power and efficiency are not necessarily equivalent to bigness and pretense.

Phillip Beers, Esq., who resides at the United States Hotel, New York city, and is engaged in raising subscriptions for the New York World Bartholdi pedestal fund, was once upbraided by a distinguished relative who was a physician, tot commending in such enthusiastic terms a remedy that cured him of bright's disease eight years ago. He said: "Sir, has the medical profession with all its power and experience of thousands of years, anything that can cure this terrible disorder?" No, no, that is true, there is no mistake about it but that Warner's safe cure is really a wonderfully effective preparation. That remedy is an "air-brake" that every man can apply and this fact explains why it has saved so many hundreds of thousand? of lives.—Copyrighted.—Used by permission of Americfn Rural Home.
