Each season Charley secures a more

People at the East have no

idea of the great land speculation

which is now raging in the North

west. There has but recently been

opened for settlement the very last

great body of free farming land in

this country. It is now estimated

that in ten years' time there wil

practically be no land left for the free homesteads that will be worth

taking np. The rush for Dakota

is simply unprecedented. This

Territory in 1861 had but 6,000

inhabitants, and Wyoming was

then a part of it. To-day Dakota has a population of nearly 80,000,

and Wyoming probably one-third

as many. In June, loon, were

were 260 miles of railroad in oper

ation in North Dakota; now there

are 860 miles in running order,

and 150 miles more are under con

tract to be completed during the

current year. The advance of the

new Northwest in population and

wealth is simply phenominal, and

is but in the very beginning of its

history.

The p xciting topic of the past week (Bloomington always has an exciting topic) was the Oratorical contest, its result, and the troubles of Mr. Asher, the successful contestant. The ground has been gone over so thoroughly iu the State and local papers, and on the street corners, that it is hardly necessary to go into details. It seems to be a natural outgrowth of! College life, that these people must! have some kind of a disagreement or wrangle every year. If a year has passed without a difficulty of some kind, we cannot call the date to mind. Dr. McLahlan, of Harrods-, burg, administrator of the estate of Jacob G. Chambers, dee'd, has sold the real estate of decedent at phe

nomenally high figures, for this section. Seventy-two acres were sold to Jno.,G. Johnson for f 2,800 ;

It is infectious, Mr. Magnet. This is an

exciting "city," with a dense population all excitable people. Publio demonstrations are gotten up on ten minutes notice. If a wood wagon breaks and the teamster throws off his load, a crowd immediately

collects, and some individual yells : "I

now move that Mr. Jones be elected to preside over this mooting ; the ayes havo

it." Then resolutions of condolence are submitted and adopted, five or six speeches, "grandest efforts of their lives," are

made, and the meeting finally adjourns with three cheers. As wo remarked before, however, "this is a city."

The barn of Capt. Buskirk,

near Gosport, in this county, was burned one morning last week, by

Dunn & Co. have heard so much about "people living in glass houses" that they have constructed a tin Couse, and with imposing

ceremonies, located it in front of

their store. Al. Hays, on the part of Stuart & MePbeeters, made the presentation addres8,and the speech of acceptance was delivered by Col. Levi Wilson, superintendent of Dunn & Co.'s phosphate department, followed with songs and other odd sounds by Prof, and Deacon Alexander's trained oast i net choir. Mr. Hays said; The piteous appeal for assistance, sent out by your firm, has resulted in the building of this lovely tin powder house. It will be steadier thaa a tin ear, in the powder trade, and although I've had to use soft solder in fastening the tin, I'm not "soft" enough to refuse the "tin" in payment for my work. Storms of applause. Mr. Wilson said : I accept this beautiful little dog house, on behalf of my colaborers iu bone manure, feeling that by this act of kindness we are drawn nearer together, as it 'twere; and ulthough Bro. Hays and myself were not baptised in the same pool, I know that our religious and social differences are certainly pooled on this occasion. Cyclones of cheers. After listening to the speeches and music, the powder house was critically examined by the vast assemblage, and its fastenings and manner of working thoroughly explained to the machinists. Later in the

day a banquet was spread, aud the stomachs of invited guests "literally

groaned 'neath its load" of smoked herring, mouldy cheese rinds, stale

crackers and swelled peanuts. Tak

ing it up one side and down the

other, the occasion was one long to be remembered ; the generous gift

of Stuart & McPheetera having

developed a warm place in the hearts of Dunn & Co. and a vacant

spot in their cash drawer.

Prof. David S. Jordan is per

line, arriving at Antwerp on tho 27th. The party will go direct to Norway, and after visiting the principal points of

interest in that country, will leave Copenhagen, July 18 for Berlin, and thence to Munich, Venice, Milan, Rome, Paris London, the trip including a tour through Switzerland. The tourists will return home early in September, and the party will be composed principally of teachers and students, who will combine healthful recreation with valuable instruction . Jones asked bis wife : "Why is a husband like dough?" He expected she would give it up, and was going to tell her it was because a woman needs btm ; but she said it was because he was hard to get off her hands. An Illinois court has given a depositor in a broken bank a verdict against the directors personally the Judge holding that they were responsible for money received after they knew of the bank's insolvency, as they did in this instance. No one will deny that the New York Store carries the largest stock in the county. That is admitted by all.

While strolling around the square last Saturday the writer stepped into Jas. Ryan's wagon shop, opposite the jail, and meeting the proprietor, was shown through, the "Star" wagon works. Mr. Ryan has built up a prosperous busness within a few years, and now can make a favorable showing with any man engaged in the same line. Down stairs his forges are going constantly on the iron work of hia wagons and in horse shoeing and job work. His wood shop keep men steadily employed, and upstairs we found Geo. Jeffries, the popular painter, at work 00 stacks of wagon beds. Wagons are to be found here in all stages of building, and a man can come to the shop with his team and hitch to a wagon when he makes a purchase don't have to wait three weeks. Mr. Ryan has spokes, hubs, tongues, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to keep his basinet going 3 years, and everything No. 1. In his ware-room he has a full line of the celebrated Connersville buggies, pbsatona and carriages, al first-class, also a supply of the

justly popular Troy spring wagons.

As Mr. Ryan expects to remain in business many years, he is jealous of his reputation, and will not sell an inferior buggy or phaeton, nor will he permit any wagon to go out of his shop that be has not personally inspected. As a result the "Stsr" wagon is popular with ail who have any knowledge of it. He invites persons who contemplate baying a buggy or phaeton to call before purchasing, as he can show as good work as has ever been brought to Bloomington, and in the matter of wagons he is confident be can give satisfaction. Ryan is an energetic, live business man, and the J?rogres is really glad to know that he is on the high road to success. Prof. Jordan will Impersonate the "wild Californiaa." at the Mendels
