The death of John Brown the old Scot who has been the devoted personal attendant of Queen Victoria, occurred the past week. This John Brown was one of tbe most obstinate and fanatical of men, and bis attendance upon the Queen was persistent and at times obtrusive. Brown was the favorite servant of Prince Albert, and he baa been for more than twenty years constantly on guard for the Queen's protection, ready to give his life at any moment to defend her. His fierce devotion was like that of a noble dog for a child.

Competition in all branches of

business will soon be assured here.

C. R. Salyards, of Orleans, contemplates establishing a marble shop

in Bloomington, and as competition

seems to be the life of trade, he will doubtless do well. Now if we

had competition in railroads,

Bloomington would be one of the

best towns in Indiana.

Many of the citizens of

Bloomington, especially those who

were in college eight years ago, will remember John L. Gow, who

came to college here from Evansville. Mr. Gow, after completing his Sophomore year here, entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and is now on board the U. S. ship, Hartford, (the famous Flag ship ot Admiral Farragut) at Callao, Peru. In a recent letter to a former

classmate in this city, Mr. Gow gives some interesting personal

observations on the condition of

Peru. Chili U in complete possession of the country, and takes all of her resources, and Peru is about bankrupt. Both countries want peace but it is impossible to come to anunderstanding, as the President of Peru is a prisouer in Valparaiso, Chili, and there are three claimants to the Vice Presidency. Meantime skirmishing continues in Peru, and the country is put under martial law by the Chilians. Gow had a little personal experience with martial law. We are allowed, without Mr. Gow's knowledge, to take a page from his letter. "The first night I was in Lima I was arrested by a dirty soldier while driving in a cab. I did not know what for; was in citizens clothes, and was taken before the officer of the day. I listened to what tbe driver ann soldier bad to say, and heard that my fine would be thirty soles. The driver thought I was some "gringo" that he could stick. I then surprised all hands by having a little to say for myself in their "dago" tongue. I told tbem who I was and wanted to know what I was arrestefor, and wanted to go. Tbe officer immediately apologized, and said, "why certainly you can go, it is all a mistake, you were not arrested, it is your driver we want for allowing any one to ride on his box. I paid tho driver's fine and afterwards took it out of bis Lira." Mr. Gow enclosed in his letter a "Curio" in tbe shape of two Peruvian "Shinplasters," n paper dollar, markod, "Ropublica Del Peru, Un Sol" (one dollar.) The face value of the ''Sol" is ono dollar,

but they can be got for about five cents

each, their currency is so depreciated. Gow says for a f 20 gold piece he can get enough paper money to stuff all his pockets full, and it makes him feel like a mil

lionaire when he can stand such extrava

gance as to pay several bills for a cigar. Mr. Gow's ship will go nbxt to Honolu

lu, Sandwich Islands, then toa one of the

South Sea islands to take soma American astronomers to observe the total eclipse of the sun, which can bo seen only in one of those Islands. This is Mr GoVs second cruise. Two years ago he wsnt through tbe Mediterranean and Asiatic Seasj and while at Yeddo, Japan, two or three years ago, bad the pleasure

of meeting Mrs. Coghlan, who is at pres

ent in this city, but who was then with her husband, Commandant Coghlan U. S. N., in Japan.

We have the largest and most complete stock of dress trimmings in the city. Call and see it. No trouble to show goods or wait on customers, at the Bee Hive, I kxtejjd to every clothing buyer in Monroe county a special invitation to call and get our prices, on clothing, as I can save money for you. Mose Kahn. Is Ladies's shoes we have made some extensive purchases, and will be enabled to sell at prices very much below those usually asked for a first-class shoe. Tbe weather will now reonire a good walking

shoe. We have it.

WAX, F1EM) &' CO.

Now plant trees. Every day persons from a distance are here hunting houses. W. J. Allen has made one order on Michigan City, for five carloads of lumber. Persons desiring to build, but

who neglected to buy their lots last Fall, now find the purchase of desirable lots a difficult matter. Carpenters, bricklayers,ns well as stone masons, from neighboring towns, are getting ready to spend the summer in Bloomington, at work on the new buildings. ip-Our real estate men say they have no difficulty in selling lots anywhere in town at good prices. Property is steadily going up and present indications are that there will be the liveliest boom tbe coming summer ever known here. The people who do not take newspapers themselves or Iwrrow those taken by their neighbors, were caught on the 10 per cent, delinquent tax penalty, this Spring. It cost some of them enough to pay for four or five newspapers. Monroe County is notably one of the best stock-raising oiiunties in Indiana, as all of our land gras

ses readily. Blue grass thrives as

luxuriantly on Monroe County

land as on the boasted lands of

Kentucky. People are slow about making the most of this fact, but the time will come when Southern Indiana will be one vast grazing

and fruit growing country, 4-The building boom has struck Bloomington at an early date, this year. Five business rooms on the square, two large residences on North College Avenue, large brick church on east 5th st., a fine brick

residence on South Walnut st., a

large and expensive brick for John Waldron, on West Fifth street, a handsome modern dwelling on west 6tb-st., and twelve or fifteen smaller

buildings in various portions of the

town, all in course of erection at one time, (in the month of April) is a new experience for Bloomington,

W. L. Adams of Benton tp.t

brought a six foot black snake to town, one day last week, and it was placed on exhibition in the post-

office lobby. They were cutting

trees for staves on Adams' farm,

and his youngest boy was wtttching the hollows of the trees for young squirrels. A tree was felled, and sixty feet from the stump was a round opening which the lad peered into for game, when the snake darted his head from tbe hole and

returned the boy's stare. He turn-

Bed three or four back summersaults, and was too much unneived to take any further interest in young squirrels. The Progress was misinformed, as to some of the facts relating to Mrs. Jennie Dillman's death. In company with her husband she went to Kearney county, Neb. early in March, and they had been there but about two weeks when Mrs. Dillman was taken severely ill with congestion of tbe stomach and after a brief sickness died. Mr. Silns Guy, (her father) and Mr. Henry Dillman, (her father-in-law,) reached her bedside before her death. The remains were brought with tbem on their return to Monroe county, and were interred in the church yard at Clear Creek Station. The six months old babe has beep taken charge of by Mrs. Henry Dillman, A tramp with talents that would fit him for a Staf Route expeditor, called a Bedford hotel

keeper out of his bed the other

night and explained that be was

one of a telegraph party of four

men who were repairing the wires

in that vicinity, and wished to engage board for them for a week. The hotel man took the bait, and the agent of the telegraph company was snugly stowed away in one ot the best rooms in the house. In the morniug he had his breakfast, and obtained quite a lot of provisions for the "other men" to subsist upon until they should be able to get into town. Then he went away, and the hotel keeper is still waiting for him to come back. On Monday next, John Waldron will tear out the front of the old Haryman corner, and build it up after tbf style of the Stuart & McPheeters room Still the '-boom" goes on. Spencer Democrat : Miss Debbio Allison, of Bloomington, is her.i on r visit to her aunt, Mrs W. K Dittomoro. NeV Silks at the Bee Hive in all weights, colors and grades. Any lady can be suited. Young men will find it tt their interest, in liuyinc npriii.clothing to call on Mose. Khn, yow can depend on getting the latest styles and lowest pi'iotu,

Tien Fields now owns the Galloway house, on east 5th street. Eld. Treat bus moved into the Hines property, in Northwest

Bloomington.

Ike Kahn, now a citizeu of

Indianapolis, was in town last

week. Mrs. Wentworth, and her

mother, Mrs. Hunter, will locate

in Cloverdale, where Mrs. Cora

Tenant resides.

After a lingering illness the

wife of John Taylor died at her home in Harrodsburg, Friday a week.

N. S. Mayfield has shipped bis household goods to Worthington, and will reside in that town during this summer. A St. Augustine, Fla., newspaper, sent to the Progress office by Capt. Alexander, says that blackberries are ripe, and are brought to that town in large quantities. J. F. Pittman has bought the

brick house on Railroad street, owned by Dr. Abraham Smith. The wise man will buy him a home now, while property can be had at

reasonable figures.

The widow of Simon Kahn,

owner of the building now occupied

by Mose Kahn s clothing store,

was in town last week. She resides in Baltimore. The entertainment iven by Mendelssohn Society, on Thursday

night, was so well received as to

call for a repetition on Friday

night. The characters were well

sustained, the attendance large, and

the receipts satisfactory. A crowd gathered at the de

pot one day last week to see what

they believed to be a train load of circus wagons. Tbey proved to be champion reapers and mowers for

Stewart & McPheeters. Is there another town in Southera Indiana' that has McAdamizod three of its streets within tbe past year, partly constructed a turnpike, is beginning another pike (to run north), and has firstclass brick building springing up in all

directions t If there is another town of

Bloomington's population and wealth that

is "booming" like ours, tho Progress would

be pleased to hear from it.

Last Wednesday being the 24th birthday of Lew. H. Anderson, be went from Chicago to Dan

ville, Ills., and married Miss Em

ma Todd, formerly ot this place.

The voune counle arrived in

Bloomington on the evening train,

aud a reception was given them at the residence of the groom's father,

Mr. John K. Anderson. They

will reside in Chicago.

Arnet uwen. at one time a

citizen of Bloomington, died at Al-

burquerque, N. M., on the 7th of

April. He became an Elder in the Christian Church at an early

age, and drifted into law and pol

itics. He was in tbe legislature

several terms, and his eloquence

and natural statesmanship made him a noted man. Consumption,

that terror of our fickle climate, had sown its seeds in his sys

tem, and about a year ago he 'went

to New Mexico with the hone of

regaining his health, but there was nothing to build on, and although

his life was undoubtedly prolonged,

the end came on the 7th inst. - Workmen are coming in from other towns, to help our builders: Tbey

hatre to come, or not ntore than half of the

work Ihut is contemplated Can be finished beforo winter. A Stinesville man, Mr. Akin, has the contract for building the stone bridge, on west 5th st., near Waldron 's Tannery. Ho has an immonso quantity of stone on tbe grouhdi Griffy & Co. did not bid on the Mullikin corner rooms. They

have more work contracted for than

they can complete before winter.

A painter named Rhodes, fell,

on Friday last, from a twenty foot scaf

folding at W. F Drowning' residence. It

was feared for a tiino that his skull wns

fractured, but he appears to be all right

now. Take a drive over Bloomington, and seo for yourself tho new buildings, additions to building, and all m inner of repairs aud improvements, that are being made. The spirit of improvement seems to be in tho air. Parlies are traveling over the State, selling a jiowder for coal oil lamps that, they say, will prevent explosions ; common tabfe-salt is just as effective. Another dodge is the sale of carpets by sample, part of the money to be paid when the order is taken. The carpet is never heard from. Come and examine our summer iilks, and you will want to buy, because the qualities are good aud ihe prices are low, at the New York Store. Dky Good3 are cheaper in the wholesale market, than usual, and Len. S. Field 6 Co. hove bought heir stock rq low that thev' can

five purt of It away, and Mr.Field : jays lliey are doing till. 1

Dar. Hunter is now at Sand Point, Idaho Territory. Levi Hughes is again located

at Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Michael Bungcr is now residing in Springfield, Mo. John Crafton was in town last week, attending the funeral of his father-in-law, Jack Alexander. Mrs. Trimble, of West Ches

ter, Pa., is visiting her sister, Mrs Dennis.

Mrs. Craig Hunter is visiting the family of Gen. Hunter, in tbi s

place.

Two reels to carry the new fire-

engine hose, have been purchased,

at a cost of $250.

The valuation of taxable prop

erty in the city of Bloomington

foots up 91,381,194. Geo. Walker is confined to his room, by sickness, and Oscar Reed ia at the postoffice general delivery. Redick Wylie sold six inches of ground, in the burned district, to James Howe, last week, for 975. "Told you", real estate would go up in Bloomington. Wm, Stevenson, the atone mason, has purchased a two acre building site south of Tobe Smith's residence, and will build a house. Still the "boom" goes on. The building associations of this place have helped many to buy houses who would never have succeeded otherwise. The efficient Secretary of the new association Dr. B. A. McGee, can give applicants all necessary information . Wm. M. Coffey, of St. Cloud, Minn., whose relatives reside in Richland tp., was in town Friday, and gave the Progress a call. Traveling men, who have time to look over town, while here, declare that there is no other' place in Southern Indiana that is growing so substantially and rapidly. Jas. J. Alexander, known to all of the old residents as "Jack" Alexander, died on tbe 17th, in Bloomington of a disease of the liver. Deceased was in his 68th year. The petit jury drawn for the present term of circuit court is as follows : J. B. Clark, Geo. Brock, Hiram McCoy, Fletcher McConnel, Joseph Rush, Peter Dill, Jos. S. Harris, J. D. Morgan, Christian Binckley, John Pattou and James Barrow. The "Big Six," a temperance organization of Seymour, Ind., will hold its annual jubilee celebration, June 6th. The O. & M. Railway will make low excursion rates for the occasion, from all points along tbe line between Cincinnati, Jeffersonville and Vincenncs to Seymor, where the celebration will be held. A grand Band Tournament

will form one of the attractions of tbe day, and it is the intention to make this the principal event of tbe season in Southern Indiana. The banquet held by the ladies' auxiliary to G. A. R. Society, at the depot in Elletsville, for the purpose of raising funds to build a stone wall fence around the Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery, was a success. The funds raised amounted to $00, and the treasurer ofthe Ohio flood relief sufferers turned over to the ladies $S, that he had on hand, so that the fence is assured. I have a saw-mill in operation on Salt Creek, and am sawing large quantities of ail kinds of lumber. Pei-Hius who may need lumber can get it in any quantity and on short notice. 1 also want to hire teams

to haul fumle" Bloomington. Apply to D. " lierson, No one wi'ft deny that the New York Store carries tbe largest stock in the count v. That is admitted ty all. Next in importance, Field has got clear onto "the inside" with wholesale men, and can buy good very low. This margin is his Gilt Enterprise : he gives it to hU customers in low prices.

There are many persons ia Bloomington who do not know that forty years ago there was in active operation in Indian Creek tp., this county, a furnace for smelting th iron ore found in that neighborhood. It was named "Virginia" furnace, and the chimney, or stack, is still standing, and ought never

be torn away. Eli Sparks resides near there on tbe old Ben, Adams farm, and he bas a handsome new two-story residence, (built by the Progress's good friend, Addison C.
