The magnificent merchant tailoring establishment of McGee, on the south side of the square is of course just now thronged daily with devotees of fashion, who seem to understand that no one can be properly attired unless the garment is cut and made by gennine artists, and all know that McGee has no superior; to the ladies we would say, if you want your husbands to look proper nice, and appear to the best advantage, urge them by all irfeanS to trv the wonderful effects

will make them look fashionable in

spite of their teeth. It is a barb 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. The stock at the "Golden Rule" is not only unusually large, but it is selected with the most exquisite care as to beauty 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.

Housekeeper, don't forget that J. W. Shoemaker has the neatest,

freshest and most stylish wall pa

per, 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 you 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. He can beat 4II competition in that line.

Wit: J. ALLEN If totj want a plow that will run lightly, scour perfectly, and give entire satisfaction, buy the famous "South Bend." If you want the best sod plow, buy the South Bend. If you want the best general purpose plow, buy the "South Bend," sold by W. J. Allen; If you want a cheap plow, buy the South Bend ; if you. want the lightest draft plow, use the South Bend, sold by W. J. Allen. For Hardware and a general assortment, call on W. J. Allen. He is daily receiving aH the latest improvements and novelties which go to make up a stock in that line. Farmers when in want of a good article can do no better than give him a call, as his stock throughout is kept full and complete, and be is is selling goods at the very lowest

possible prices.

Plenty of peach bloom," notwithstanding the croaking of those who always anticipate evil. Some of the Republican workers of this place are hard to circumvent. They showed the boys Howe to carry the 3d ward at the city election. Fullerton of Spencer, Bnmsey yof Terre Haute, and Capt. Fri xlley of Bedford were attending court here last week. Col. Henry Davis, who was Lt.-Colonel of Gen. Hunter's .old regiment, was a party in a cause pending before circuit court last week. Mrs. C. R. Perdue went to Terre Haute, last week, accompanied by her two children, to visit Miss Ida Perdue, who js attending school at St. Marys. Charley Moore came driving into town last Thursday behind a handsome new team. Charley always drives the best horses, but this team included his handsome Bull Pup stallion. Real estate is still moving. On Monday of last week C. R. Perdue sold a house on North Railroad street (the Leroy Chase house) to Thos. B. Galloway (father-in-law of James Karsell) for 1,450 cash, It is to be hoped that some of the people in this place who are anxious to buy a thousand doljar house for three hundred dollars will conclude to build. That will cure them most effectually. You may almost see the leaves and grass growing. .The ground is said by farmers to be unusually mellow, and every indication points to a prosperous crop year.

John B. Buskirk is visiting his children, in Paoli, Orange county. Mrs. Robert Gamble returned from Dansville, N. Y., last Wednesday, after an absence of some ten months. John Mack, agent for the new patent road maker, desires the Progress to state that he will throw up a quarter of a mile of road gratis for any farmer who will furnish the power four good horses. That's fair enough. Take it out on the Labertew hill. Geo. Atkinson has- a display advertisement on the second page, to which general attention is directed. You ought to look at those Opera Boots. Just how they can be made for $6 is a wonder the material will cost that much money in the market to-day, to say nothing about the work, which is very fine Atkinson has a larger stock than ever, and is selling goods at a very close profit. Ladies are especially invited to examine the new arrivals in fine kid shoes. License was granted Gus. Kreuger, at the March term of the commissioners' court, to sell liquor by retail, and an appeal was taken by the temperance people, represented by R-A.Foster and Frank Wooley. The case came up for trial, Wednesday last, in circuit court, before Judge Franklin,and a jury brought in a verdict rescinding Kreuger's license. Oc. Souder's license will expire about the 1st of June, and Stocfkwell will then have the only licensed retail saloon in the town. It will be a bi& bonanza for Stockwell, $See the now Carpets, just arrived at the Bee Hive. Very handsome patterns, and prices down. The Cincinnati Times publishes crop reports from all the Western and Southern States. The wheat in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri is very promising, and in the other States the condition is good. The city election in Indianapolis resulted in the success of the Republican ticket. Smart's popularity was indicated by the difference between his vote and the remainder of the ticket. The Republican Mayor was elected by a majority of 515, while the other Republican candidates had an average majority of 2,000 votes. . . fgChas. Mitchell and Dick Houston are always to be found at the dress goods counter in the Bee Hive dry goods store. J. W. Fessler, of Franklin, was the successful applicant for the West Point Cadelship in this district. John Sherlock had three steers killed by a railroad train last week, ou his farm near Harrodsburg. Some one suggests that all the Senators but Mahone and Hill should pair off and go home, leaving those gentlemen to jaw each other during dog days. Bf-iylf you want to buy a nice suit of clothes don't fail to see the nice fashionable styles at the Bee Hive.

For What do People Pay City Taxi Reform 13 necessary in the conduct of the police department of our city. The way atfairs are now managed a number of chronic violators of the city ordinances are permitted to go about the streets drunk cursing and insulting women, lighting, etc., without arrest. Or, if they are arrested, they are put in jail about twenty-four hours and then released, as they are unabln to pay their fines, and the city authorities think it a piece of extravagance to pay 50 cents per day bonrd for prisoners in the coiAty jail. Ilonce these men are turned loose to go about the public streets and continue their nefarious conduct. The people of Bloomington pay a oity tax.' For what? Simply to pay the salaries of the city officers and occasionally repair a street crossing, or haul off a dead hog ? The schook tax is a separate one, and hns nothing to do with the amount levied for the general fund. We repeat: "What is the general fund for? Is not the preservation of peace and the

proporty and lives of our citizens of some

importance? snuii a person nave juii permission to do as ho pleases, in open violation, of the lawi simply because it costs the city something to punish him? We believe that there are at least a dozen persona whom the citizens of Bloomington would bo glad to seo locked up in jail for life, and would be willingly taxed to pay the cost. The stone-pile was considered a good thing, but it soon was dispensed with, violators of the city ordinances, unable to pay their fines, were kept at work cracking stones for a day or two and then released on the grounds that it dind't pay. This would bo a good argument if the city expecU to enrry on its criminal department by making it self-supporting. The city authorities should remember that the principal thing taxes are collected for is to enforce the law, and the people demand that their rights shall be protected in this regard. Let the officers elected last Tuesday begin their administration by turning over a new leaf. Courier. This matter has been alluded to time and again in the Progress. There are chronic violaters of the law here who get drunk, annoy business men, deface and destroy property, Ac., and when arrested and sobered, are then turned loose to repeat these offenses at their pleasure. Is it because there is "no coffee monfsy" in them that their lawless conduct is not properly punished ? If it can be explained away, the columns of this paper are open. Let these brutes be given full terms ot imprisonment, or steady employment on the stone pile. If they claim to be insane, let prompt steps be taken to place them where insanity is treated as a disease. One thing we do know: persons who can pay fines are given the full benefit of the law's penalties. . It will not do to plead that "it costs too much" to imprison these moneyless offenders. The punishment &f criminals is not expected to be a

source of revenue or profit to the city it is only ordained for the protection ct the people- The newspapers of this community would come up squarely and strongly to the defense of the law respectiug citizens if assured that they will have a hearty endorsement in the good work, but the reverse is frequently the case. There is a lively little fight at present between Conkling and Garfield they have clinched and are both down, with Garfield on top. A ring has been formed, and the people are anxiously waiting to see if Conk, will turn Gar. Perhaps the President has been too busy "rassling" with Roscoe to give attention to Indiana appointments. The Progress would advise him to be watchful else Conk, will get one of the Presidential fingers between his teeth. Mr. C. A. Wallingford, an Indianapolis architect, was married last Thursday, at the residence of the bride's parents in Bloomington, to Miss Minnie Coffin. The young couple will return to this place during.the first week of June. Mart. Alexander, Tobe Gabbert and Mit. McPhetridge returned from Florida last week. They say that the weather was growing too hot for them. Mr. Alexander brought home some peaches that are as far advanced as that fruit becomes in this latitude in July. He also brought with him and presented to several of his friends, handsome canes of orange wood the Progress falling heir to one. The Eepublicans of the third ward won a victory, with a big V, at the city election, defeating the cohorts of Democracy by a majority often. $Tho Globe Shirt just the things at the Bee Hive. Jas. A.

Those new-style Bonnets received from the city three days of each week by Mrs. Gregory, are attracting general attention from the Ladies.

Fresh Fashion iVotcs. Reported for the Progress. All poke bonnets have short, broad strings. Quaint Egyptian designs are shown in bonnet ornaments. Some of the Grocian house robes have very handsome borders. The new silk and lisle thread gloves are very long and of fine quality. The Jobnhard handkerchief costumes are among the most stylish suits for the little people. Beautiful .toilets for the summer will be made of black velvet -grenadine over underskirts of black burah. Black Spanish lace, woven with gold or steel threads, is a vory beautiful trimming for grenadines. AV reaths of delicate roses, ending H fine sprays of rose leaves and moss buds, are worn under the oddly curved brims of the stylish and picturesque Spanish round hats. 'Japaneso balls wound with spun silk and covered with cashmere beade and sparkling pendants are attached to1 the drapings of spring costumes trimmed with gay plaids. The favorite trimming for underskirts is a flounce with a deep shirririsg at the top; the remainder of the flounce' Is laid in kilts. The hem is very often turned up on the right side. The tunic jacket in foulard Surah, with standing frill, jabot and flowing sleeves of lace, will be much worn in the morning at watering places over a round skirt made entirely of plain silk and lace plaitings. Short suits still continue to bo the

prevailing stylo for the street, trained and

d em i -train addresses being reserved tor th e house and for ceremonious occasions. The skirts for the street are gored in front as usual, but the breadths. in. the back are fuller than formerly. The colored satin balayeuse has disappeared and will bo replaced by a dainty plaited edging of lace, basted close to the edge of the underdress. This will give a vry pretty effect to the delicate summer dress of organdine, French muslin, dotted Swiss and the like. Fancy jeweU play an important. part in modern toilets. No scarf, tie or bow of any kind is now worn without being fastened with some kind of a brooch. Most of these brooches are in the form of insects, butterflies, lady birds, snails, and even spiders, although the latter have not obtained the vogue that was predicted for them. Fbe Mother Hubbard cloak is still a very fashionable wrap, and is made of very light and fine lady's cloth in delicate colors. It is lined with colored silk, and the hood is trimmed with rich cords and tassels. A very elegant garb of .this description was shown lately by a celebrated importer of French novelties, which was made of heavy black Surah satin, and densely covered with the most elegant gilt passementeries. A favorite dress just at the moment the importer reported is the " Moth;r Hubbard dress " made of foulard, and gauged over the shoulders after the manner of the wrap. The sleeves are puffed, and the inevitable pouch of satin is suspended from tho left side of the belt.
