For Warty Tears. For thirty years 'Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry has been kept for sale by druggists generally, and in all that time there has not been a single complaint made, hut on the contrary the drupzista and the people acknowledge
H to be the best remedy for the cure of
Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all lung diseases.
A Queer Notion. Many peapls think it
cneaper to buy cent sizes or proprietary medicine. But tbey make a mistake. For
instance, Pr. wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry contains about eight times the
quantity of ordinary courh balsams. Be-
aida it takes a leas quantity of Wistar's

often sufficient. For deep seated colds and Consumption it has proven itself to

Archibald Wilson of Richland township, mention of whose illness was made in last week's Progress, died on Wednesday, and was buried in the U. P. burying ground, west of Bloomington, on Friday afternoon. Harry Durand, of the law firm of Mulky & Durand, went to Illinois last Friday on business connected with his profession. Mrs. Specht, a sister of the wife of Prof. Wylie, died at the letter's residence on Tuesday of last week, of heart disease. The Poor Farm was awarded to James Smith by the Commissioners9 Court, last week, a t$90. Mr. Smith is not new to the business, having had charge of the Farm several years before Mr. Ward secured it. A child of Mr. Bamage, residing northeast of town, died on Tuesday of last week and was buried on Wednesday. The State oratorical contest will be held at English's Opera House, Indianapolis, on too evening of April 14th. Hanover, Franklin and Wabash Colleges, and Butler, Purdoe, Aabury and the State Universities will ho represented by contestants. The following judges have been selected : Hons. Stanley Matthews, of Ohio; R.S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne; G. W. Friedley, of Bedford; H. S. Tarbell and Abraham Hendricks of Indianapolis The man who is able to, and does not take his home paper, but iuvariably borrows and reads it, is the commonest kind of a dead beat. The L. N. A. & C. Express Company are doing a comfortable and growing business at this point though a new organization and but little known to the general public. . This is in a great degree due to the fact that the new company have secured as Agent at this town Mr. Carter Pering, who for a number of years had so successfully managed the business of the Adams Express Company. Mr. Pering will be found in the railroad office at the depot, by those desiring his services, with low rates and prompt delivery as inducements to shippers.
Ben. Kirby, whose farm of 110 acre lies in the Leonard Mill neighborhood, sold his land last week to W. H. Stevenson of Morgan county for $2,900. Mr. Kirby will go to Missouri to look for a location. The price paid by Mr. S. was a good one, indicating that Monroe county farm land is appreciating in value. Geo. B. Moore and Peter Matthews of Ellettsville, were victims of the " Hawkeye." Matthews $100, and Moore $50- The long
er a man lives the more he finds
out." Don't it? People got the
Hawkeye cheap, you know. The Louisville & Chicago rail
road company has a rock crusher in the round house that will be put
to work soon, crushing rock from the Ellettsville quarries to ballast the roadbed. It will be worth a visit to see this machine chew lime
stone. .
Barnhill, the energetic Unionville merchant, has just returned from the city with a big stock of goods, and invites the attention of purchasers to it. He buys for-cash and sells for cash.. .-The law requires township trustees to advertise in a newspaper of general circulation in their township the place and day of the week that they will transact the business pertaining to their office. The law also requires them to publish each year the receipts and expenditures of their business, but they don't do it in Monroe county J. M.

License to retail intoxicating liquors by the drink was granted to W. A. Stockwell, by Commissioners' court last week. There was no remonstrance Notwithstanding the fact that the Derao crats are identifying themselves so prominently with the anti-liquor movement at Indianapolis, not one of them stepped forward as a remonstant here, nor were they ever knowrv-to do so. Matt Beatley has sold his residence in the Dunn addition, to Grundy Dunn ; consideration $1,025. Mr. Beatley will remodel and improve the Faris residence, east of Dr. McPheeters' property, and move into it. Mrs. Gregory has opened a fancy goods store in the room east of Greeves & Son's grocery. Dr. Crain is having the room over McCalla & Co.'s fitted up for a Dentistry, A child belonging tc a colored family named Taylor, died last Wednesday. Kramer, of the popular Bedford grist mill, sent a man up to Bloomington last Thursday with his mill picks. The champion pick sharpeners of Southern Indiana are Seward Bros. Four horses were required to haul the hearse containing Archibald Wilson's remains from Ellettsville to this place last Friday. The roads are utterly impassable in some portions of the county, and yet there are intelligent people who will oppose the building of a turnpike in Monroe county 1 It is enough to make a man deny that ho was born here. Samuel Dunn, who is engaged in sheep raising in Texas, writes to Ewing Batterten that his flock has had an increase of eight hundred lambs this Spring. Common sheep are worth from $3 to 13.25 in that region, and cattle raisurs are disposing of their herds and investing in sheep. Postmaster Stevensojj, at El lettsville, O. E. Foster at White Hall and T. H. Barnhill at Unionville, are getting up clubs for the Progress. These are friends worth having. As Indiana men conld not determine who of their number to recommend oa Cabinet position, the State for that reason was unrepresented. Kirkwood, of Iowa, now a member of the Cabinet, made several forcible speeches "in this place last October, tlei&a kinsman of Prof. Kirkwood a cousin. Wanted, Shares in the Monroe B., L. and Savings Association, inquire of W. E. Wood hum, Cashier at the Bank. Johnson of the Bedford Star came up to Bloomington last week and secured the pattern of our iron lamp posts. They intend to put on city airs down there. Kid gloves with only one button are copying into fashion. The remains of Mrs. Specht were taken to Wyandotte, Kansas, for burial. One of D. O. Spencer's children died last week. The past week has been one of uncommon fatality in this vicinity. Agents of. Eastern firms are traveling over this part of the State buying up a!) the walnut trees and cut lumber they can purchase. They pay good prices. The long contemplated change in the Bloomington and Bedford road was ordered by the county commissioners, last week. The road
now runs parallel with the railroad and frequent accidents have been
the result. By the change the road
will run through the lands of Mad
ison Ervin,Wm. Wylie and Andrew
Dodds, and intersect Walnut street.

Miller, wife of one of the most popular merchants of La Center, Washington Territory, (formerly of 8mlthville, IndM) has been suffering from that dread disease, consumption. Everything that love or money conld do toward staying the ravages of the disease or allaying pain was promptly done, yet on the 14th ult. the ties of home and family were sundered and her spirit passed to its reward beyond. She was a kind-hearted lady, beloved by all who knew her, and by her death mauy a heart was plunged in grief and a happy household broken. The remains were brought to this city to-day on the Latona and laid to rest beneath the shade of Lone Fir. The bereaved bus-

James Waldron, whose death id announced in another column, was a genial, cheerful, popular and gentlemanly young man, who had everything at command to make life desirable. His father was perfecting arrangements to place his two sons, John and James, at the head of his extensive and profitable tannery business, and the matter had -been fully discussed on the morning of the unfortunate day. Dr. Crain, the dentist who worked upon bis teeth that fatal afternoon, says the nerves of his tedth were so extraordinarily sensitive that the contact of the instruments deemed always to almost drive him into a frenzy of pain. It was after having his nerves thus set upon edge as 'twere that he used morphine to' deaden the pain, and by its incautious use brought about tho fatal result. Friends of the family in the surrounding towns came in large numbers to pay their tribute of respect to the living and the dead ; among them we noticed persons from Washington, Seymour, Bedford, Ellettsville and Gosport. The cornet band, of which organization deceased was an, esteemed member, marched in the procession nineteen strong, and the funeral, as a whole, was .one of the most largely attended of any that has been held here in many years. Two beautiful floral offerings were deposited upou the casket a "Harp" by the Band, and a "Cross" by the Boating Club, of which he was also a member.
These offerings were constructed of
Marshal Neil rosebuds; camelias, calla lilies,and other choice flowers,
and excited the tearful admiration of those who could understand their tender significance. The family, which is a united and affectionate one, is almost paralyzed by this sudden and seemingly cruel blow, but their sorrow is in some degree mitigated by the sympathy extended to them by the entire community, It is said that all the best looking, and nearly all the young men in the legislature voted against the female suffrage bill. Many persons who contemplate erecting buildings the present spring have their plans all drawn and contracts made, and Only await the opening -.of good weather to commence work. "Somebody's coming when the dew drops fall," is the way a new song; starts out. We know it, we know it ; and he will want a cou
ple of cold biscuits and a piece of
pie; There is an active demand for agricultural implements and dealers say the farmers are buying the best and latest improved machinery and implements to a larger degree than in any previous season. The plow and cultivator trade is especially good. Don't wait till the stock is picked over, but come at once and examine the Spring purchases at the New York Store. Speaking of the failure of the Hawkeye, the Courier says, and says it truly : ' The local papers here are owned and published by men who are practical printers, and who do a large share of the mechanical work of the office, besides the editorial work. Their families live here, and all they have is invested here. They, in common with the general public, have an interest in the prosperity of the county. It is strange, then, that men who come here with no capital or brains, and who have nothing to prevent them from picking up and leaving at any hour of the day or night, find encouragement in an enlightened community. We intend this to cover several cases that are fresh in the newspaper history of Mpnroe county."
Terre Haute Express : One of
Bloomington s plans is to build an observatory for the use of Daniel Kirkwood. Professor Kirkwood is said to rank high among the astronomers of the world ; is second to none in the8tate, and the friends of the movement say that it would be a fitting recognition of his ability. N. A. Ledger: There is a movement on foot to bnild an observatory at Bloomington for the use of Daniel Kirkwood. Prof. Kirkwood ranks high among the astronomers of the world is second to none in the United States, and it is fitting that his eminent attainments should receive proper recognition at the hands of the State. . The Emperor of Ruiaia was assassinated last Sunday. Tbat is one office our politicians. are not bunkering after. The vote on the amendment is 404 in Bloomington Township, and the pro
portion voting "Yes" was 7 to 1. Kearly 400 voters did not vote. Many of the " growing trees need trimming. In some plaoes the lower limbs interfere with side walk, or even street travel. In others the shade obstructs the light of the street lamps. This cannot be wholly avoided, but it oan and should bo remedied to a considerable extent. In other places large dead limbs are suffered to remain upon treeraarring their beauty and causing" them to be an eyesore instead oi a comfort, A little attention to these matters will add very rouoh to the appearance of our beautiful city

The Abutments for the bridge over Salt Creek, ,afc Goodman's Ford, was let by the county commissioneri .last week to Mr. Weaver, of Columella, Ind., at 3.65 per cubic yard;. . The sarnc contractor secured the abutmeuts.at the Johnson's Ford oridge at $3.60 per cubic yard; The superstructure of both bridges was let to Thomas Hardman, of at $14.40 per lineal foot, to be measured on bottom chord. The bridges are to be the Howe Truss. Haramaji was 55c per foot lowef' than the lowest of the other bidders. There were seven bidders fo'r puperetriricture and four bidders ior abutment work. During the past three years .seven bridges have been built in Monroe county, and petitions are being circulated to secure the building of three more; Mrs. Coon fauiey has gone to Waldron, Ills., on a visit to a brother of M. Pauley. I. L. and H. F. Dillman, who own a saw mill at Ketcham's Sulphur Spring, have recently bought sixty-two poplar trees, of John Koons for the sum of $736. this is said to be the finest lot of timber that has ever been bought by a mill firm in Monroe county. The timber is but about two miles from the .mill. These gentlemen have sawed 430 logs this Spring. Biggest stock of Dress Goods, and we claim, the finest, ever brought to Bloomington, can be seen at the New York Store Call, Ladies.
Persons who want to buy firstclass land at auction should come to the court house at 1 o'clock, on Maroh 26th 217 acres of the wellknown Horn baker farm will be sold by a Commissioner that day. Kepresentative Buskirk arrived in Bloomington on Saturday afternoon, th$ Legislature having adjourned till Wednesday, in order
that the member and employes of
that body might go to their homes
and vote upon the constitutional amendments. The beautiful floral offerings
contributed by the Band and Boat
Club, at James Waldron's funeral,
have been sent to rianss 6z JSeuner, Louisville, to be made perpetual by a process known to that firm. Who can explain the impulse that seizes many persons to jump from high places or buildings? So well is it understood, that in Faris guards are erected to prevent such suicidal feats. A few years since an American family ascended the leaning tower at Pisa. While looking down from the dizzy height this insane impulse seized a young lady of the party, and it was only with the greatest difficulty aad the use of force that she was removed. A negro has been elected a member of the National Association of Mexican Veterans, who have just held a convention at Louisville. He is very black, and was given his freedom by Henry Clay for gallant conduct at Buena Vista. "The rains descended, and the floods came, and beat upon" the snow, and it was melted and deposited in a fluid state in ponds, in roads and in fields, washing the banking from houses, and partially filling cellars with water, which could only be got rid of by knocking the bottom out of the cellar and letting the water run 'out. Now is a good time to trim and plant shade trees. Nothing adds more to the beauty and comfort of the residence portion of a city, than plenty of shade trees. It will cost each property holder but a trifle, in comparison with the value' of the same, to set out a row of trees in front of his grounds, aud coming generations will bless him for his act. And besides such blessings, he will add largely to the saleable value of his property. A vacant lot will attract much more attention, and be far more likely to secure a purchaser and at a better price, wheu surrounded by shade trees, than if left bare, and the owner can do nothing, with the same amount of money, which will prove a better investment A man may mash the stove aad things, And black a fond wife's eye; And she may pound him with a club, But true love can never die.

Last Friday night "Sandy" Arwine of Brown coupty, a brother of Dr. Arwine of Colutnb'us; Ind.,' took the night express at Bedford, in company with two men named Clark, and a woman whose name we could not learn. At or near Guthrie, Arwine went out on the rear platform and was seen no more till his dead body was fonnd on the Salt Creek bridge Saturday morning. His skull was crushed, and it is believed that he had been looking out at one side of the platform when he was struck by the bridge. The two men and the woman came to Bloomington, staid all night at the Orchard House, and returned on the 5 o'clock train. There are some suspicions of foal play. Falkner, the jolly host of the
.National Hotel, bought Indian Springs at Administrator's sale, last Saturday. His bid was $3,700. .. Ljn. Field came back from New York last week with a stock of goods that will do your eyesight good. He will sell very close for cash. Mr, Feltus of the (urier went down to Cincinnati last Saturday, to negotiate with some of the backing houses for deposit rates. The bank at this place refuses to1 pdy interest on deposits, and as the horse and jack season is rapidly approaching, and the income from
that source is very great, it has been suggested tbat we ought to
reoeive interest on the sums depos
ited at the close of office work each
day. The next quarterly statement
of the Bloomington Bank will show
a marked shrinkage in their depos
it account.
