How the young lady chuckled and laughed about it the next day, when her " paw n brought her up to Bloomington to buy her wedding toggery at Charley Mobley's Golden Rule. And by the way, what a nice outfit it was, including silks, velvets, laces hats, gloves, ribbons, hosiery, underwear, toilet articles, jad all sorts of dry goods and notions so attractive to ladies, and of which they keep there such a full and varied supply.

The Greatest Remedy Known. Da. King's Nkw Discovery for Consumption is certainly the greatest medical remedy ever placed within the raach of suffering humanity.

For Thirty Fears-. For-thirty years "WUtar'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, bat on the contrary the druggists and the people acknowledge St to be the best remedy for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all lung diseases. A Queer Notion. Many peaple think it cheaper to buy 25 cent sizes of proprietary medicine: But they make a mistake. For instance, lr. Wistars Balsam of Wild Cherry 'contains about 'eight times the quantity of ordinary congh. balsams. Besides it takes a less quantity of Wistar's Balsam to cure a cold. A single dose is often sufficient. For deep seated colds and Consumption it baa proven itself to be the best and quickest cure ever discovered. - " Now is the Time.

Clarence A. Bus kirk, late attorney general, has issued a small volume entitled "Fragments of Es

says and Other Verses1 a copy of ii t i J r

wnicn nas oeen suurnuiea ior inspection. Poetry is one of those diseases that physicians differ about -if Buskirk intends to run for an office again, he should never have dropped into rhyme. Dr. B. Ai McGee will be a candidate, for nomination to the office or City Treasurer. Mr. McGee is an ardent young Republican, and a man in whose; integrity the coovtuunity at large has entire confidence. He would make an active and successful canvass if nominated. -Keating's Zig-zag Celebrities gave a performance in this place on Tuesday night of last week, to a very slim house. Insufficient advertising and a howling snow-storm interfered with their business. A number -of their specialties were good, but it is difficult to understand how they could play with any animation to empty benches. It may not be generallly known that grindstones, for ordinary purposes,. of an excellent quality, may be procured in unlimited quantities from the Knob sandstone on Bryant's creek, three miles northwest of Hindostan, this county. A quarry has been opened at this location. The stone varies in color from gray or white to a very pale red, with horizontal partings. If a business man of Bloomington had jumped- the price of coffee or flour as some of his country friends advanced the price of wood,, because it was scarce, would not they have made Rome howl ? All farmers did not do this; those that did should be remembered. 'Mr. Henry Eller, an experienced stock dea!er,iuforms the Progress that fat stock will not, in his opinion, decline in price during the summer. ' The supply is short,grass is late, corn is exhausted, and so prices must rule high; Miers and Duncan were successful in their suit at the special term against Stout and Rawlins, and are now owners of the Rawlins farm in Washington township; Geo. A, Buskirk, who was elected Auditor of Orange county last October, is visiting his parents in Bloomington. George makes a popular officer. It is wonderful bdw fortunate the Buskirks are in the matter of office. John B. Buskirk, we believe, is the only one of the name who has not sought and been rewarded by an office' of some nature. Perhaps their good luck is due to the tact they are people of more than ordinary executive ability, f ; i '" :i The city candidates met last Saturday, and changed the time and mode of holding wnrd conventions. Read the notico at the head of this column. It is correct in all particulars, David Smith has gone to Texas. Several citizens of Salt Creek township contemplate moving to the Lone Star State in the Spring after it quits snowing here. :

Henry C. Ford, better known as "Hank ' Ford, for several years a trusted employe of John Dolan, the stave contractor, died at CV margo, Ills., on March 26th, of consumption. His health had been failing for a year past, and during the severe weather last Fall he contracted a cold that soon developed into consumption, and he left here to be with relatives in Illinois, It seems to the Progress that an unnecessary amount of indignation is indulged in against the girl id Indian Creek township, who in her pain, anguish and desperation, is believed to have put an end to the existence of her illegitimate child. The woman must bear all the burden, the punishment, and odium of a crime like this, while the real author and guilty party goes " unwhipt of justice," and with no stain upon his ' reputation. No H reformation " is required of him ; but his victim needs reformation and prosecution, prompt and severe. Just where the justice comes in the Progress is unable to see. The "Mother Goose" entertainment last Thursday night drew out a large audience, iu the face of a driving snow storm. Mrs. Pittman, Miss Hughes, and other ladies of the Presbyterian choir, are entitled to full credit for the success which attended the juvenile performance. The children all seemed to be up in their parts, but the crowning feature of the evening was the performance of the " Perry twins;" they were "just too cute," as the girls say. Little Boy Blue must be seen and heard to be appreciated. Mother Goose will be repeated in June.

The contest for Mayor of Cincinnati has assumed a very singular shape. All the German papers, which are numerous and influential, oppose the Democratic candidate for Mayor (Mr. Means) as he represents, they claim, the "Puritans and fanatics." While the Gazette is making .a bitter fight against Jacobs, the Republican candidate for Mayor, on the ground that he is the champion of the immoral shows and the beer traffic. It is a very curious contest and the result will be noted with interest. For all the latest styles in Hats and Gents' Furnishing Goods go to G. S. Leachraan's New York Eat Store. The geological report contains twenty-two pages. devoted, to Mou: roe county, giving a careful, descriptive analysis of its stone, of its soil, and much interesting data as to the business and educational advantages of the city of Bloomington.

"Meditation," is the title of a Waltz composed and arranged for the piano, by Miss Ida Howe of this city. Of the merits of the music we are unable to speak, never bavin? beard it interpreted, though the well established reputation of Miss Howe us a pains-taking musician, is a sufficient guarantee that it is all that is claimed for it. It is published by a Cincinnati house. , . The Annual Summer Normal School of Monroe. County, will be conducted this year by the three teachers of the Preparatory Department, Profs.

The nominees will be satisfactory if the nominations are made by Republican voters; and to this end it is hoped that business men will give this important matter more attention than has been their custom. It is distressing to hear some of the "workers" tell candidates how they have worked themselves down at the jaws in their interests. "Let me have a dime,"

While some of the hot-headed bank managers hastened to contract their circulation during the three per cent, funding bill excitement, the 1st National of this place moved calmly on, and has the satisfaction of seeing those Banks that surrendered their circulation begging to get it back, to which the Secretary of the Treasury firmly says "No." Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious by the fact that spring styles in dress goods have just been received at the New York Store. Some months ago the Courier intimated that Joe Heuley had been writing poetry for that paper. Since Mr, Henley became a candidate for Mayor a commiltee of his supporters have waited upon him, desiring to know if be had etw written poetry; He most solemnly assured them that he had been guilty of no such indiscretion. Should he suf

fer defeat he may very properly at

tribute it to this dam aging rumor. Those Chenille and Shetland Shawls at the New York Store, are beautics. Examine thorn. It won't be long; how till the smoke will clear away, and the public will be able to learn what has beeu done by the present legislature. The Indianapolis hotel keepers are urging the necessity for another extra session, but it is hoped that the

rage. If the legislature cannot dispose of the-business in 100 days, it ought tagive way to a set of men at one dollar per day,, That would expedite matters.
