It is snch a book as only such a healthy, well-bal-anced, magnificent brain can produce. Dr. Foote is one of the few doctors who, in his writings and practice, seeks^o cure, not kill to save and prolong life, not to obstruct, poison or destroy it to teach people the structure, functions, facts, forces and relations "of the human brain and body, teach them the significance of life and how to make it healthy and happy also how to make the most of it

HOUSEKEEPERS, ATTENTION!

An out of season attraction will be noticeable on our Linen Counter Tomorrow, in the way of a bargain in Extra Fine White All Wool Bed Blankets with Exquisite Borders, Double Shaded Stripes, all put up nice in a paper bag, and of this year's manufacturer"? The price later on will be $7.50, but having made at* immense purchase of them last Spring when raw wool was low in price, we bought them very cheap, and will now during this warm weather offer them at even $5.00. You will not be disappointed, for we think if you come to buy one pair you will buy more at this low price.

ON THE UP GRADE.

The Next Fair Promises to bo a Grifeiit Success. One week from today what is confidently believed will be oile of the best if not the very best fair of all the twentyone held will be inaugurated, although) as usual, the bulk of entries will be deferred until the last days. There is so much in sight, so many promises of exhibits, that the directors are planning how to accommodate the exhibitors.

City exhibitors ought to make their arrangements for space right off. The display of vehioles, with the Keyes Company find Harrison & Herman to start with, will be very extensive.

The hardware men will be on hand. Hickman, of the White sewing machine, wants a big space for a special display that will be very handsome.

Prof. Ames has spoken for a space in which to display the work of the Polytechnic students—always very ettractive and interesting.

The dry goods stores will be represented. It is a little remarkable how wide is the field from which come demands for information and premium lists—from eastern Ohio to Fort Scott and from Michigan to Kentucky.

It may not be known, but the premiums on horses, cattle and heras paia at some of the most successful fairs are lower than those offered by our society.

The Doming cup now bids fair to be the beginning of a series of oolt races, which will increase in interest every year.

A very great change has taken place in Terre Haute during the past half dozen years in the matter of fine stock, thanks to the efforts of the McKeens, W. P. Ijams, Geo. King, the Prestons and one or two others. Then there were no herds of fine stock here and our 'fair exhibits were made up of stock from other counties. Now Vigo county has more fine stock of its own than any other in Indiana, Putnam not excepted.

The improvement in horses is also notable. A great stride was made in this direction when Messrs. McKeen and Ijams bought Jersey Wilkes, which splendid animal has, by-the-way, earned $6,000 during the past three months. Vigo Co. oould have a good fair now from her own stock exclusively, but when to this is added the herds from Edgar County, the great Hereford herd of Adams Earle and the best stock in the three adjoining states, an idea of the magnitude of the exhibit can be bettor grasped. Remember that this is your fair. It is everybody's fair. The Agricultural Society eannot make a cent out of it.

The directors held a meeting Saturday and decided to provide more room for exhibitors. Anew shed will be built for Henn's stock and probably a new hall for the carriage display. A handsome silver cup will be given to the winner in the bicycle race whioh must be won, best two out of three races. Flower premiums will be given only to amateur florists this year. Jersey Wilkes will be on exhibition but will not be entered for premiums. Art workers and those interested in pantry and kitchen exhibits should call at 696 Main street or write for a full list of premiums. Judging from offerings already made the fine art hall will be well filled this year. Entries from the adjoining oounties are coming in fast.

Three beautiful silver cups valued colleotively at $150 are on show in the Buckeye windows. One is the Deming cup for the three year old race, another the Bingham & Walk cup for the two year old raoe and the third, a very elegant piece of silverware is for the county raoe.'

J. A. Marshall intends excelling himself in the music line. Hickman, the White man, will try to eclipse on the sewing machine line, and especially in the display of fine art embroideries.

E. M. Watson, successor to McCanclless & Co, has ordered a big lot of agricultural machinery to exhibit at the fair and will make a large show.

Dickhout will make one of his big displays of travelers' outfits. There is a diploma and premium for thin nlppfl of goods.

AN INDUSTRIOUS YOUNG IJADY. Miss Jennie Means, of Paris, has made thirty-seven entries of fancy articles to be exhibited at the Fair next week.

Geo. W. Hughes, a prominent citizen of Putnam county, was in the city today. He was on his way home from St Mary's, where he has placed his daughter &t school.

Miss Etta Ferguson, of Lockport, is in the city. Patrick Daly and Mies Mary McMahan will be .married at the residence of the bride on east Poplar street on Tuesday evening.

CHILD ABANDONMENT.

An Infant Left In Happy Alley and fries. Erorc Tuesday's daily Ellen Price, who was arrested Saturday on suspicion, an infant having been found dead in her house, Happy Alley, last Saturday, was released yesterday the coroner being satisfied that the child did not meet its death at her hands. The investigation of the coroner developed some very mysterious facts. •The Price woman testified in the coroner's court yesterday substantially as follows: A fine looking woman apparently about 20 years of age and rather fleshy was driren to her house, No. 411 Happy Alley in a two seated carriage and wanted her to take an infant child about two months old to keep as she said until she had removed her residence from Tenth street to north Fourth. She had three other children and the infant was in the way. The woman who brought the infant had been at Mrs. Roache's the day previous and wanted her to take the infant but she refused. Ellen Price's grandmother was there and said she would take the child for a few days and that is how the child happened to be at the Price's. The woman who brought the child gave her name as Mrs. Parsons and wore a green cashmere dress trimmed with velvet and lace. She was a brunette. She left a few clothes and twenty-five cents. Dr. J. R. Crapo testified that he examined the child and was of the opmion that the infant died for the want of proper care and nourishment.

His Experience At The Meeting Of The National Board Of Steam Navigation.

Sam Shewmaker has returned from New York where he attended the meeting of the National Board of Steam Navigation. Sam says the most of the members of the board are wealthy ship owners and bankers and that the meeting was held in the Hoffman House in sight of the $100,000 worth of paintings. The magnificence "knocked him out" for a little while but he soon recovered himself and worked hard for the proposition to have the government refund the excess of inspection license paid by captains, etc., since 1869. The Board did not agree to the measure but Sam is still hopeful. 1+^4

A Bit of History..

Henry Wilkes, the veteran machinist, is at work on the National House today and rccalls the time, in 1855—the year the house was built—when he put OD the veranda on the east side. Sixth street was a mere country road then and where Beach block stands was a locust grove. "It was away out in the country then," said he, *'and I believe fewer people passed while I was at work than now pass the Orphan Home every day. Mr. Isaacs took a store room in the building and tried it for a month or so but soon gave it up «and moved down town."

J", Alleged Slander.

fllalinda Ellen Sullivan, through her attorneys, Eggleston & Reed, today sued Dr. W. P. Armstrong for $5,000 for slander. She alleges that on Monday of this week he made certain statements derogatory to her moral character, implying that she was not a virtuous woman.
