Competition.
We notice under the above head W. "W. Oliver's advertisement, in which he offers our flour at $4. per barrel. A few faots for the benefit of the many grocers will not be out of place. Since we have been in business W. W. Oliver has bought only fourteen barrels of flour of us, six of these during the last aix months. At the opening of the' Wabash Trading Oo's., store they offered flour at $4.25 per barrel. Oliver at once offered our flour at $4. all of which was bought back by us an hour after the advertisement appeared, we then refused to sell him at auy price, as he was selling below oost Oliver has since bought ten barrels of H. Steincamp at $4.25, which he is offering at $4.

The Kind of Building Being Put UD at St. Anthony's Hospital.
It has been announced that a new •table and ice house was being erected at St. Anthony's hospital. This gives no idea whatever of the extent, the oost and the purpose of the building. The structure has a heavy stone foundation, tiie main part being 47 by 47 feet and 7 inches in size with a cellar under it thirteen feet deep* The upper part is to be a very handsome brick building with atone trimmings. The oost will be about $10,000. Several persons are contributors to it. Mr. Theodore Hulman, who has a stone quarry at Waveiand has given the rough and also the dressed stone and is personally superintending the work. All of this President McKeen has transported free of oharge. Architect Vrydagh, who made the plans, has called the building a stable, oat the ward is a misnomer. Its principal design is to furnish an ice house, serf milk and vegetable rooms. The Sisters beg a great many vegetables,etc, with which to maintain the hospital and sometimes they get more than can be properly preserved until used. This great cool cellar will be an admirable place for such goods. The ice house adjoins the milk room through which the ioe-cold drippings from the ioe house run to a sink.
The second floor above the ground is divided into two apartments, one a larpe ward for special cases, the other asmf.ll room for the atteuding Sister. The horse will be kept in a
Bmall
brick
boilding adjoining the building proper. The buildiDg is designed to be an ornanaent to College street on which it tronte, and this it certainly will be.

Tfcey Petition the Council for a Cow Ordinance. .*
Last night a petition was presented to the city council from students of the High School asking that a cow ordinance be passed. There were 180 signatures to the petitjoc, and it was signed by the girl students as well as the boys. The petition 'was gotten up by Arnold Layman, S Harry Sohloss and Sigmund Frank. It set out the damage cows can do to the fine lawn around the school. The petition was laid on the (table by a unanimous vote, on motion of Mr. Hirt, who remarked that the question alluded to had been settled at the last election.
Persons who have been under the impression that minors have ro right to petition the council are mistaken. Anyone has such a right, and High School students are not exoepted from the general rule.
It is said the students are about to petition the council that the Declaration of Independence be made a part of the city charter.
GAS WELLS.
An Effort Being Made to Open the Two Old Oil Wells Here.
The matter of opening the two old wells that were sunk a number of years ago in this city in order to find out at once if we are to have natural gas here or not is being talked of a great deal by some of Terre Haute's enterprising business men. Mr. M. Balae will make an effort in a day or so towards finding out if the property owners near the wells are opposed to the reopeniog of the wells. The wells in question were sunk a number of years ago for thepurpose of finding oil. One is back of the Terre Haute House and the other is on. Canal street, between Main and Cherry streets. The exact location of the last well is not known, but it is thought to be in the alley. They are both plugged up with wood. The well in the old canal bed is the most promising one to open, as it is cased up to the depth of 500 feet with iron piping. At this depth rook was struok. I It is proposed to open this well, remove whatever may have collected at the bottom with a sand pump and shoot I the well with dynamite. The smell of the oil will be very offensive for a week I or more, until it can be gotten under coBtrol, and it is expected that property owners nears the wells will remonstrate,
It is to be hoped that this project will be carried out, as it will effectually set-j-tle the gas question in a short time.
Mr. Balue has the support of a number of active citizens, who will push the matter at once.
THE OAS WELL.
Work at the gas well is progressing slowly. The drill is still pouoding hard rock at the depth of 975 feet. Abopt 80 feet of rock is yet to be passed through.

What tte Says About His Practice.,
Dr. Barker the specialist who is a the Terre Haute house was seen by a GAZETTE writer this morning. He says that during his stay here he has had a large number of cases in all of which he feels confident of suocess. He has been in the businees for over twenty years and diplomas from both Euro-
geanshowBAmerican
and medical colleges, te says that coming here an entire stranger as he did he has only to rely on his skill and success in his praotice to overcome the prejudice against him. He has numerous letters from neighboring cities from patients which speak in glowing terms of his skill. The reporter wns referred to Jno. Halliban at the new Court House who was entirely deaf when taken in charge by Dr. Barker and who is now entirely restored. He also referred to Mrs. Compton 510 Ohio street who has tried him previous to his visit to this city on which occasion he entirely cured a sister of Mrs. Compton. He is now operating on her mother who has a cataract of tbe eye and the case has thus far been successful.
