Physicians very ften prescribe, at this time of year, medicines that have for their basis pure brandy or whisky. If the patient gets impure spirits those made poisonous by dishonest city rectifiers the effect is very h&rmfuL A reputation for securing and selling only pure and unadulterated liquors, is worth something to a man. Such a reputation August Kreuger has earned by many yean of experience, and persons who require whisky or brandy for medicinal purposes, may rest assured that when tbey tray it of Kreuger, they get it as it comes from the distillery, without any doctoring. The best of anything is none too good for the people, and while they are buying they should get the best it is cheapest.

The magnificent merchant tailoring establishment of McGee, on the south side of the square is of coarse jast now thronged daily with devotees of fashion, who seem to understand that no one can be properly attired unless the garment is cot and made by genuine artists, and all know that McGeehas.no superior; to the ladies we would say; if yon want your husbands to look proper nice, and appear to the best advantage, urge them by all means to try the wonderfal effects of a brand new McGee suit. He will make them look fashionable in spite of their teeth. ii It is a bark treat to enter the store room of Charley Mobley, the "Golden Rule," on the south side, and examine the magnificent new Spring stock. Anyone who will do so will no longer wonder that this establishment is so popular with the general public. r The stock at the "Golden Rule" is not only unusually large, but it is selected with the most exquisite care as to beau ty and excellence of materials. The ladies from all portions of Monroe county, testify to the popularity of the house by their patronage of it. Those who are seeking rich, beautiful novelties, are specially invited. ' . m . s" e . Housekeeper, don't forget that J. W. Shoemaker has the neatest, freshest and most stylish wall paper, borders, and window shades ever brought to this market, and that he is selling them at the lowest figures possible.- When buying wall paper you of course want the newest styles, and while yon can buy them for. the same money you had better do so. While you are at Shoemaker's it would pay you to get figures on white lead and oil.

The time for assessing for the present year is extended to June 15. The county board of equalization will consist of the board of commissioners and four freeholders selected by the circuit judge. As
sessors are elected at each general election for four years, and get $2 per day for sixty days only. Every friend of progress will gladly read the notice of letting the contracts for building Monroe county. first turnpike, in another column. Henry Henley, superintendent of construction, will receive bids up till noon, May 12th. For fourteen years the Progress has been preaching sermons on roads, and now that the first steps are being taken in the direction of road building the Progress is glad; yea even unto rejoicing Miss Kitty May of Ellettsville, is taking a thorough course of instruction in elocution with a Chicago professor. She has talents of a high order that only need : cultivation to make her celebrated, The State Board of Education has re-elected Dr. Stone of Ft. Wayne, and Dr. Maxwell of this place, Trustees of . Indiana State University. Mrs. Young has located in Gainesville, Floridr., has bought a lot and is building a house. She is very much pleased with Gainesville, and expects: to make it her home. Nearly all the young peach trees were killed by the severe cold weather. Mr. Turner, the nurseryman, has but few left. If some of the people of this city do not die of typhoid fever there is no use in throwing filth about the back doors to induce such a result. C. K.

By reference to our New York
fashion notes, it will be seen that
some lovely designs in dresses an4 dress goods are being introduced
this Spring. No young lady in
this day of good clothes and attractive styles, should consent to
marry any man who will not enter
into a contract to supply her with
a new Suarah silk at least once every
three weeks.
Mr. Leachman, of Leachman
& Newman exhibits a degree of taste in
decoration that is a revelation to some of our dirty windowed merchants. If be had a large window be would mako a display
worth going far to see. Postmaster McPheeters, Joseph E. Henley and D. W. Browning went to Salem, last Thursday, accompanied by their attorney, R. W. Miers, and secured a judgment for $173 against the railroad company. This was a balance due them on fares collected by the company on an excursion run by the plaintiffs last Fall.

man sang out 14 Wood yard, tbe next station." As tbe train moved out from
"Wood yard," the same brakoman came
rushing into tbe door of tbe ladies' car, and made the following announcement: "Ladies and ffentlemen--I have the pleas
ure of announcing to you that tbe city of
Bloomington will be the next station reached oy this train. If you will look out of the car as you arrive at that city,
you will see the entire population assembled at the depot to greet you; and if you will cast your eyes toward tbe public
square you will see the smoke arising trora the improved pea -nut roaster, which is tbo
principal institution of that city. it is needless to say that be was enthusiastically applauded. Bedford MagneU Yes, and the railroad company appreciate the fact that the Bloomington people take an interest in
their I rains, and in consequence
have built platforms between the four tracks that are laid west of the depot in this place. One rickety old track answers the requirements of the passenger business of Bedford, however. Prosecutor Mavity had a peculiar hand dealt him recently, at
Paoli pairs a pair of twin girl
babies. Geo. Jacobs and Wm. Butcher,
both of Salt Creek township, have
been on bad terms for some time, and on Sunday last Butcher went to the residence of Andy Jacobs and a quarrel ensued bteween Geo. Jacobs and Butcher. Jacobs was in bis stocking feet and said he would go out in the kitchen and pull on his boots. He soon returned, having concealed a butcher knife on his person. The parties from quarrelling got to fighting, and Jacobs drew his butcher knife and begun to carve his antagonist, who was using only his fists. Butcher received four ugly gashes one on the left side of the neck near tbe jugular vein, one across the right breast, another across the ribs and a deep cut on the back. Had the knife been sharp any one of the cuts might have resulted fatally. Dr. Ax tell was sent for and gave the injured man needed surgical aid, and although some of the cuts are deep and dangerous, the Doctor believes he will get well. Geo. Jacobs is a son of Dave Jacobs who was lynched by a mob several years ago. Elbow sleeves will continue through the spring and summer months, not only for evening but for afternoon dress. "With out-of-door toilets very long gloves will be worn with them, edged at the top with lace ruffles. Josh. Howe has another addition to his family a boy. Baggageman Bullard of the Louisville & Chicago railroad has gone to Leadville, Colorado, Saturday was another "big trade" day, and an immense quantity of goods were sold. Among the many matrimonial victims last week were Riley Sanders (son of Isum Sanders)and Miss Rachael M. Rogers. This is a match the Progress can commend, as the parties have arrived at an age when the judgment is ripe. We acknowledge courtesies and wish the parties long life and prosperity. A crowd of ladies filled the store of Mrs. Gregory, one door east of Greeves & Son, this week, examining her stock of Hats just received from Louisville. A great deal of admiration was expressed and a number of very pretty Hats were bought. The trade promises to be very lively this Spring at the new store. Call at Mrs. Gregory's before you buy. The Hollanders should not object to trichina in American pork, as the Diet of Worms was a good thing for them. There was a temperance meeting in Nashville, Brown county,
one night last week, and the Jack-
soman says :
Hon. John R. East, of Bloomington, was present, and delivered an earnest and able address in favor of the Prohibition Amendment to the Constitution. Mr. East has a big heart, a fertile brain, and a mouth as large as that of Henry Clay, and when he opens it he invariably says something. Resolutions endorsing the course of Messrs. Coffey and Buskirk on the temperance question, were unanimously adopted by a risiug vote, amid rapturous applause. Better qualities in Ladies or Gents' Button Shoes can be found at Perdue's than is usually offered by dealers. I solicit au examination by buyers. C. R. Perdue.

Fashion Notes.
Extra large dress buttons are no longer fashionable. Tbe poke bonnet in Its modified shape is a decided avorito. There is a rage for largo square collars and deep cuffs in Irish guipure, point Nemours, point TAurUlac and Carrickmacross laces. "White and tinted crape bonnets trimmed with delicate wreaths and sprays of flowers will be very fashionable headdresses the coming season. The delicate cactus lace straws, lined with bright colored Surah and daintily trimmed with lace and flowers, are deciadly the prettiest hats thus far exhibited by the importers. Now neckties for ladies are of satin mervilleux, edged with lace and embroidered with crabs, lobsters and groups of tiny mice. It is very fashionable for young ladies to part on the entire front of the hair from temple to temple, then to cut it short enough to arrange in soft, loose, curling rings or Bernhardt waves about the forehead. . Plastrons, tabliers and pinafores of white Surah silk' are richly embroidered with very delicate colored silks,or wrought in flno seed pearls ; to bo worn over cashmere, silk, muslin or India crape. Very pretty French combs are Imported, which are mounted with tiny
wreaths of flowers made of flno enamel
and French gold. Ther come in varied
colors and designs to match the trimmings of the costumes. Dotted Surah in one or more shades is still a very fashionable fabric this spring, but a more novel material is that known by tbe name of Bayadere tussore woven
in bright colored stripes, This very pret
ty material is very effective when com
bined with ctearn colored tussore.
Spun silk is a late revival ; it is soft,
and at the same time strong. For gathering and guaging, which is so much used
for trimming, it is very suitable on account
of its pliability. Those who prefer silk to
linen underclothing will find the spun silk
very desirable, as it washes wen. it is
now as popular as Surah for garments of
this description.
The Amazon cuirass or Casaquinbodico of brocade is still in great tavor
for wearing with skirts of contrasting col
or and material. It is made closely fit
ting, high-necked and with no trimming
but pretty Watteau buttons; these buttons are of tinted pearl with enamelled flowers
of varied shades combined with gold or
steel. They aro made in graded sizes.
A very elegant visiting dress just
completed for a fashionable New York
lady has a short skirt of ruby silk, trimmed with two narrow pelisses with plaited
heading. The overskirt fs of striped velvet and satin, with pointed tablier trim
med with a deep fall of Brussels net heav
ily embroidered with ruby beads and gold thread, and a full drapery at tbe back caught up at one side with a large bird of brilliant olumasre. The eoreafire is nearly
covered with a dense embroidery of ruby
beads and gold thread
A new French style of hair dress
ing is now adopted in America called a la victims. The hair' is arranged in a fiat bandeau, with a heavy fringe falling low
over the forehead, then earned around in
easy loose cons upon tne crown ot the
head, ending in two long undulating curls.
that extend down as far as the waist, kept
in place at the back by a handsome steel
comb. For full dress occasions a spray of flowers fastened in the coils of hair on the
crown of the head, follows the elongated
form of the coiffure
In wash dresses for the warmer sea
son, tbe princesse shape is to be most general A very pretty costume is made ot pule pink percale, figured with tiny sprays
of flowers in their natural hues. The overdress is caught up in the back with bows
of pink and-white percale. The underskirt is of pink linen, flounced up the front to the waist with narrow plaited
frills edged with tiny scallops in white button-holo embroidery. The overdress
is bordered with a gathered ruffle to cor
respond with those on the skirt front A graceful little fichu is added, trimmed all
around the edge with a similar ruffle.
Fashionable bootmakers are again
making a strong effort to introduce very
low, fiat heels; some or tbe new boots have
no heels at all, but they find no sale from
being too ugly and unbecoming to suit
even the most practical wearer of " com
mon sense" shoes, and though the French
heels of preposterous height were objec
tionable upon other grounds than those of appearance only, there is nothing com
mendable in ungainiiness, ana nceiicss
boots are manifestly opposed to shapeli
ness or grace.
Short skirts for the serins are not
changed in shape, and are trimmed with
plush, velvet, satin, rouleaux, snau-snapea plaitings, and tbe inevitable knifo or boxplaitings made of the dress material and put on in- various ways. One model for
a dress skirt is to put a wide band of plush
around the bottom of the skirt, then ar-
ran?inp the trim mine to sweep down
from the belt, and simulate an " eagle's wing" tunic. Over this trimming is
placed a real tnnic, forming sharp points, with thnnlush trim mintr folio wine its out-

Probabilities for May. BT PROF. HENRY VENNOR, OF CANADA. Toward the end of the first week in
Mnv. or about the 5th and Gth. snow-falls
may be looked for in the lower provinces of Canada, and about May 3d frosts are
probable in Central and Southern Illinois, with rain and snow prevailing in some localities. There will also, in all probability, be snow falls through the Gulf and the St. Lawrence District about the 7th
and 8th. After the 10th of May, however,
hot weather may bo expected, and after the 15th bush-fires will probably break out in certain districts, although thunderstorms are also probable on the 13th and 15th. Between the 20th and 25th there will probably be cloudy weather with rains, and veeutation will have advanced considerably by the 24th of the month. .Between the 20th and 25th the weather will probably be cool. The month will end hot and sultry. To the Ladies. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, twentyeighth, twenty-ninth aud thirtieth, Mrs. Jennie MePhetridge will make a display of her millinery goods, consisting of Trimmed Bonnets and Hats, aud everything usually kept in a millinery establishment.

Died, April 18th, 1881, of congestion of the lungs and stomach, Jeanette
.Tearl, only daughter of Thomas M. and Sarah A. Brown, of Bryant's creek, -aged 1 year, 5 months and 4 days. Little did its parents think at sunset on Sabbath that before the shades of evening would fall again they would be watching and weeping over the remains of their only and loving child. But such is . life. Yes, dear parents, we know it it hard to part with such a lovely one, but look and pray to Him for every comfort who is able to hoal your wounded hearts. Only five months ago they buried little Dessa, six years of age, which was a hard stroke on them, for she was a more than ordinary child. And but a few years before they buried two others he having been the fatherjof four children, she the mother of two. And now they are left without one flower to brighten their home, but our heavenly father knoweth what is best and has taken these lovely plants from this world of trouble. In human weakness our burdens of sorrow are hard to bear. Doubtless you are saying to yourselves : " A dark cloud has come over us, but we hope behind it." You see your father's smiling face. How comforting the thought, whatsoever, whomsoever thou hast lost, thou hast not lost Jesus. His ears are ever open to hear your cries, and his eye is every ready to see, and his arm to supplv
your need. Then, lonoly parents, console yourselves with this thought. It is only a little while and then no more tears, r -more parting, no more pain. - C.J.J. Married, on Thursday night, April 21sfc, by Rev. W. P. McNary, Joseph Allen, (son of Capt. W. J. Allen), to Miss Alice Mc-
