Mooiey s store, sontn siue oi. me square, west of McGee's. No dry goods man keeps a tastier stock than Mobley, and the "Golden Role," nuder the management tf its clever proprietor is still booming. Much of the handsome dress goods, laces and embroidery worn by the best looking ladies, were bought at Mobley's Notion Store, m Bloomington. Walter A. Wood mowers have stood the test of time and competition, and are now the most popular machines in the market. Come and examine this machine at W. J. Allen's hardware store. W. J. Allen sells three firstclass cultivators: "Brown's," "The Hoosier Boy," and the "Weir." Call and examine, before making a purchase. Remember that the best machines made or sold are this "Buckeye Reaper and Mower, and the Walter A. Wood Mower," and that W. J. Allen is sole agent for this county. Call and see them. The best fence is tbo Barbed Wire, and W. J. Allen sells the "Kelly Steel Wire," and the "Champion Barb Wire." Physicians very often 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 disbonest city nvtiflera tha effiact is verv harmful. A
reputation for securing and selling only !
pure and unadulterated liquors, is wor n something to a men. Such a reputation August Kreuger has earned by many years of experience, and person i who require whisky or brandy lor medicinal purposes, may rest assured that when tbey buy 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. Personal. I have some leisure time to devote to watch repairing at my
furniture store, north side of the square, and as it is an outside matter, costing but
little, I can work cheaper than anybody.

myself, and my experience and work are sufficient guarantees as to its superiority. Give me a calL John P. Smith.

Commissioners court, June Term, begun Monday. Four bridges are to be let, also the pauper practice, and the keeping of the poor house. Col.

Charles Alexander's baby is a boy, and the household now stands father, mother, daughter and son. Charley will probably be tbe name of the baby. N. A.Leclger. Oh no, guess not ; Charley's selling Pyle's soap, in Dunn & Coa mammoth grocery store, Leffler & Bro. are setting a new boiler in the Bloomington Mills. These gentlemen are full of enterprise and energy and introduce every new feature that has a tendency to build up their business. The Irdernalional, a paper published in Guy mas, Mexico, has reached this office. Among the advertisements is one for the saloon ol Don Pedro Whener. Pete has evidently become a full fledged Mexican. On the first page will be found a very intere sting tabular statement, giving tbe number of persons in each county- of the State who are drawing pensions (including arrears) and the amount. Monroe county has 128 pensioners, and tbe amount paid to them is $26,091. Pittman, Campbell, Pedigo and Bonsall, may as well save their efforts and br&ath. The Democratic "managers" held a consultation last Wednesday, and as both Wicks and Fields refused to make the race for county clerk, they determined that Jobn McGee should have the nomination. McGee at ouce Cegnn an active personal canvass, and visitoJ every township before Saturday morning. Chas. H. McPheeters, of the hardware firm of Stuart & MoPbeeters, has purchased the lot just south of J. B. Allison's residence, on North Walnut street, paying Mr. Allison therefor $1,000 cash. Mr. McPheeters will at once proceed to erect a handsome twostory residence. When vacant lots in Bloomington sell for $1,000 it begins to look like a boom in. real estate. The Students' Cornet Band paraded in the rain, last Saturday, making a creditable display, and playing with the ease and confidence of old musicians. The young men exhibit more "style" in their playing than any local band that has agitated the circumambient atmosphere hereabouts during the past ten years. The "Juniors" indulged in a banquet, last Friday night, in Mrs. Bott's cozy ice cream parlor, and spent three hours in eating, conversation and speech making. Mrs.
Bott's taste and care in preparing
these banquets is making her house
and her cake baker deservedly popular.

A match game of base ball was
played on the University grounds, on Tuesday of last weok, between
the University club ar.d a picked
nine of Bedford. The day wab pleasant and a large number of people were present. From the grand stand music was discoursed by the
University Band, the City Band
and a Band from Bedford. The grounds are located within a short
distance of the tracks of the "Mon
on" route, and trains arrived and
departed constantly with crowds of
sight seers.' The game was spirited and interesting to those who can comprehend tbe mysteries of base ball, and the result was a victory for the Bedford club. "Three-cornered cat" was the Progress player's favorite game about fifty years ago, and we didn't know much about "muffs," "hot balls," etc., but we would like to know why base ball
players all talk at ouoe aud keep up a continual yelling. Those nice shoes and slippers that McCalljt&Co. have been promising, have at last arrived. Nicest

The Democratic candidates are
now on the anxious seat. Tliev are
not having near so much fun as when the Republicans were all in a flutter. Another private banking company exploded at Indianapolis ; this time it is the well-known, banking house of Woolen, Webb& Co. The
Central Bank of that city failed
only a month ago.
George Walker, a colored em
ployee of Showers Bros., lost bis residence by fire, on Wednesday forenoon of last week. The fire, it is presumed, was communicated
through a defective flue. The furniture in the house was saved, bnt
the house was burned to the ground.
Fortunately Walker had $300 in
surance on his building.
A great deal of indignation has
been expended on the Pioneer fire
engine because the poor old neglect
ed machine did not work satisfactorily at the fire last Wednesday
morning, and there is some talk of
buying a new machine to take its place. It matters not how new or
effective a machine may be, if it is
not given daily care and attention.
If it should be neglected, as are the
engines now owned by the eity, it would soon be equally worthless. . The Progress desires to propound a conundrum. Why is it necessary for a street contractor to
plow up a iitreet just as soon as his contract is awarded, when he knows that he cannot work on it in the
next two months ? Wo can under
stand why a house painter who has undertaken to do six jobs in one week (that will occupy a month's time) goes from one job to another
and daubs a brush ful of paint on
each he docs it to hold the job.
But why a contractor (aud they all do it) should plow up a street that
he is not ready to work, when he has a sure thing on the contract, it
is impossible to comprehend.
Horace Mulky, who during the
past six years has been residing in Kansas City, Atchison, Topeka, and other prominent cities of the West, arrived in Bloomington last Wednesday and will remain over commencement. The fellows with "influence" to sell are already in the market, before the candidates are fairly settled on the tickets. Several of them were trying to draw blood last Friday. A heavy box-toed boot is the most appropriate contribution to such cattle. The deadlock in Congress has been unlocked and "business," if talk car; be called business, has been resumed. There is some talk of purchasing a steam fire engine for the city. Our fires usually occur during the fall, winter or spring months, when the mud is from six twenty inches in depth on the dirt roads. What would be the result if an attempt were made to haul a heavy steam fire engine on such of the streets of Bloomington as arc not; MoAdamized? The custom of observing Decoration Day is growing. Instead of time obliterating the memories of the brave men who laid down their lives to save the Union, it only adds to their fame. Although a new generation has arisen since the days of '61, the glorious deeds of the patriotic men of that day are kept green ; and although many of them are mouldering, in the dust, "their works do follow them."
While we have outward evidence of
the reverence and esteem of the American people for the faithful soldier, there is, deep in the heart of every citizen, a still greater affection, which mere words and public display cannot express. There are lut few families in the land that have not at least one lov
ed one amongst this great roll of
dead heroes. It is this feeling which induces thousands of people every
year to join in the observance of
Decoration Day. It is a demon
stration pure and unselfish. The
Americans are frequently charged with being a hard, practical, money-
loving people, with little of pure
sentiment in their natures. This is
hardly the truth. While as a rule
they do not waste their substance in
trifling mutters, yet they never fail
to rise equal to great occasions. No
people on earth are more generous
in the hour of misfortune no nation has ever done as much for her soldiers no country has ever ap
preciated more fully the sacrifices,
toils and dangers of its heroes than this. We are expecting small assortment o very nice ond well selected
Lulf. Gloves and .Hosiei'y about

There has been some talk of
organizing a company for the manufacture of tables, or some such specially, in the McCalla factory, on the railroad south of the University. There is no better point in the State at which to procure lumber than this, and with the facilities and shipping rates now offered by the railroad company, a manufacturer can easily see his way to a comfortable profit. No establishment has yet failed to make money that gave its full and undivided attention to t:ie manufacture and sale of one article, and as the McCalla factory has machinery and facilities for doing the best work and doing it rapidly, it seems as though a grand chance is being lost
by some one in not taking hold of.
the opportunity ofiered. It will give work to laborers, and insure profit, to those who have money that is seeking an investment. On Friday last Bobert H.
Campbell, wife and daughter, arrived in Bloomington on a brief visit to Charles O. Turner (Mrs.! Campbell's brother) and other friends. Bob. Campbell, as he is familiarly known, was the original proprietor of the "Parlor" drug store, and left Bloomington nine years ago. He is now railroad station agent at Bushville, this State. Andy Parks was walking on a hillside in Benton township, Saturday a week, with a newly sharpened ox on his shoulder. He slipped, fell, and the blade of the ax penetrated his cheek, cutting an artery. Parks was hauled to Bloomington in a wagon,and tbe flow of blood checked by Drs. McPheeters and Bryan, Tbe unfortunate man was very
much exhausted and for a time il was feared he would not recover, bat he is now convalescing rapidly. Fulk -and Gillmore were out in Van Buren and oilier townships, lust week, "setting 'era up" for u nomination by acclamation. Gue3s il; ia all arranged. Thee gentlemen would have been satisfied with
"one term," but the boys "insisted
that they should make the race again," and so, very reluctantlj-, tbey accepted for (mother four year stretch. Now this was cruel on tbe
part of ''the boys."
James Atkinson returned lo Bloomington on Friday after an
absence of four months in Texas,
Louisiana and Tennessee. He hurried home last week to be present at the Democratic township conven
tion.
During the month of May 22 of the 30 days brought rain. By the weather bureau reports it is shown to have been coldest, wettest May in twelve years. James A. Phillips, a Bloomfield attorney, wis married last week at Bedford to Miss Lillie Chrisler. The young couple spent a few days with the groom's brother iu this place, at the Phillips Hotel. Don't neglect the opportunity to examine tbe Buckeye twine binder and reaper at Allen's hardware store. Will Blair will take pleasure in explaining tbe machine. ElUittsville News. Jaek May will put in his time for the next fifteen years trying to invent a front gate. Jack says : "twins by thunder, but one is older than tother its a girl. W.N.Matthews, while trying to get aboard the north bound express one day last week, came very near losing bis life by missing his footing as he attempted to step on the train. Had not a bystander pulled him away he would surely have been crushed. E. P. Cole is agent for Monroe county for tho sp'endiu picture entitled "Unrflold'and His b'imily."

Bloomington as much a3 we did last
tail. Wm. Wylie, of this county, has been visiting his daughter in
Greencastle, the wife of J. F. Fee. Miss Hattie Houghton has returned from Parke county, where she has been teaching school, and
will spend the summer in Blooomington. Andrew Oliphant and family
are now located at Columbus, Kansas, near which town Mr. O. owns
a productive and valuable farm.
Why don't some enterprising
circus manager bring bis "aggregation" to Monroe county, across the country ? Plenty of mud to cover
the wheels.
The circus men complain that
the cold, wet weather of May, and
the variety that has extended into
June, thus far, is having a disastrous
effect on ths show business.
Prof. Jordan and the Senior class arrived from Wyandotte Cave
on Friday. They looked tired and
bedraggled. There is no little
amount of labor connected with
caving around in that way.
The general opinion is that
Bloomington never had a better or
more creditable observance of Doc-
oration Day than that of the 30i:h.
The procession was complete, good
order everywhere prevailed, and
the whole affair passed off without a single mishap or blunder. The observance of Decoration Day, all
ever the country, was more general
and spontaneous this year than ever
before.
John Uolsapple of this township, was nominated, at Nashville,

How four or five of the "managers" have been "snickering'' when they come together, over the
idea that Campbell, Pittman and
Pedigo'iniaglne thai they each have the nomination for Clerk. Why,
bless your innocent hearts, genl le
men, that arrangement was made hist Wednesday. Fields was so
licited, Wicks was solicited, ;nd
finding that these men were determined not to run, John McGee was
selected. "I tell you, men,-' said
one of the managers, "MoGce is the
man to make the race, for he has a good temperance record, and his
visits to the schools of Monroe conn
ly have made him popular." That
settled it ; McGee was informed of
the decision and he begun his can
vass at once.
The fashion centers are being

The Democracy of Blooming
ton township met in convention last
Saturday in th j court room, and on
motion of R. W. Miers, Mr. H. J.
Feltus was made chairman. On
motion of R.W.Miers a committee
of five was selected to name dele
gates to the various conventions.
Mr. Miers wan made chairman of
that committee, and reported aa fol
lows : county convention Wm.
Whisnand, Wm,Burkejr., John C.
Dolan, FrankWbisnand, CaLSood-
grass, John Parks, John W. Shoe
maker, John Dearrain and R. W.
Miers ; judicial convention R. W,
Miers, J.W. Buekirk, Wm. Burke.
jr., and H. J. Feltus ; representa
tive convention Joseph Payne and
Ed. Hall. The County Convention will meet next Saturday, Judicial Convention meets to-day (Tuesday)1 at Mitchell, and the convention to
nominate a Joint Representative is to meet at Unionville on the 13th.
While the convention was waiting
for the committee to report, Father Abel requested John W. Buskirk to make a few remarks. Mr. B. said
he was not in a talking mood, as "I have just eaten a big dinner of onions and radishes of my own raising." This, it is believed, was a sly bid for the granger vote, in case the convention gets into a squabble over the nomination for Representative next Tuesday, and by the way no more acceptable 'dark horse' could be sprung. The convention, after accepting the delegates, slowly
and sadly adjourned to the nearest
"confectionery." There is a vast deal of humbug in this world. Sergeant Mason
wonld never have been heard of if
he had performed his duty; but
while guarding Guiteau, be fired off
his musket in the direction of the assassin's head. Emotional people have subscribed over $7,000 for Mason's benefit, and he will leave
the service of Uncle Sam a rich
man. The other soldiers who obeyed orders and attended to their
duties will continue to feed on dried
beans and salt pork, be cursed by their superior officers when the? neglect to salute promptly, or be sent to the guard house for looking
cross-eyed at the Captain's impu
dent children. - Great is American
humbug. Present indications are that Dr,
Simpson of Harrodsburg, will re
ceive tbe Democratic nomination
for Representative. He has made
an active canvass and has used some
very peculiar arguments, it is said,
to accomplish bis purpose. In the
out 'townships he has argued that
the Representatives heretofore sent
up to the capital were sent in tbe interest of Bloomington and of the
University, but that he would bo
the champion of the people of Polk,
Salt, Indian Creek, Benton, and
the other out townships. This ar
gument seems to have bad the de
sired effect, and the probability now
is that Simpson will secure the noni
nation on the first ballot. On Friday night, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, the barn on Harvey Phillips's farm, east of town, was discovered to be on fire. Mr, Phillips had several men assisting him to shear sheep that day, and the barn contained a quantity of wool. The fire was subdued afV ter considerable difficulty. These incendiary fires are becoming altogether too common in that neighborhood. The popular opera, "Olivette," will be giveu by the Mendelssohn Society, in their HU, next Monday night. Rehearsals have been conducted regularly for several months, and the society will undoubtedly render the opera in the acceptable manner for which that organization hap established a reputation. George Henley and Max Tanenbaum, both expert clothing sales
