A full force of workmen are kept busy manufacturing suits for the customers of this house, and Benj. McGce stands at his cutting board from early morning till late at night.

The Contest of the High School, last Tuesday night, afforded a good entertainmeut, and was highly creditable to the performers and their instructors. The exercises were too long.and we suggest,if any more contests are given hereafter, that two debaters and two declaimers be
omitted. Nearly every one finds
more interest aud entertainment in
a High School performance than in
any of the College exercises. The performance of last Tuesday night
was not an exception, if we judge
by the large audience in attendance. The judges awarded the victory to
the Juniors, giving them three out
of the five things contested for. The contestants who felt good over
the decision were, Frank Whitted
and J. C. Binckley, the Junior de
baters, Miss Lulu Phillips, the Se
nior essayist, Jesse Hubbard, tbe Junior orator, and Misses Maud Vanzandt and Lora Wilson, the Judior declaimers. The Senior
"Variety" was successful, greatly
through the efforts of Gibson and
Morris Harris. The decision was the best that could have been given. Of course there is always some dif
ference of opinion, sometimes as
many opinions as there are persons
in the audience. But this decision
struck four-fifths of the audience as
being about right, except in the way of deciding on the declamation. Each declamation should have stood
on its own merit, and tlie best two
chosen. If such had been the
case, Miss Ida- Faris would have
been one of tbe two. She was re'
garded as first by many, and at least second by nearly all. Many
regarded Miss Lora Wilson first
among the declaimers. She excel
led in enunciation, and in exciting
tbe sympathy of the audience. Miss
Maud Vanzandt was put first in the
opinion of most of those who were near enough to hear her, and in our opinion her declamation was the best thing on the program. But if the judges had been in the back part of the room she would have fared badly in tbe decision. Her
selection was the best of the four ; her expression, earnestness, variety
in tone,and the way in which she entered into the spirit of her piece.were noticeable elements of her success. But in grace of manner upon the
stage, iu self-possession, in simple,
unaffected style, in strength and pleasantness of voice, and ease of
speech, by which she made herself
heard in every part of the house, Miss Ida Faris excelled them all. Her success entitled the Seniors to
one of the declamations, but as the
judges were asked to judge two
against two, we do not see that they
could have decided otherwise than
for the Juniors. Miss Mattie Wallingford, who is a good dcclaimer, did not do herself justice ou this oc casion. The audience expected a great deal from her, remembering
the high degree of success which
she earned last year. Of the essays,
Miss Maggie Porch, it is conceded, presented tbe better subject matter, both in thought and arrangement. Miss Lulu Phillips read in an unu
sually good style, and having a
good essay, her success was disputed by few. There was not much difference of opinion ou the debate, though Mr. Morris, Senior,who lost
the decision, had the best speech of
the four. In the orations Mr. Jessie Hubbard won the decision over Mr. Rabb, in point of delivery only. Both orations were worthy productions. We trust that the efforts of the young people in declamation, and such exercises, will continue, and that future entertainments of the High School will be as successful as those of the past. -The popular treatment now, in
the eastern cities, for dyspepsia, is
hot water, taken an hour before
each meal, and before retiring,
The water of Hot Springs, Arkansas, is not different from the water
we use, except that it is hot. If
hot water does possess tbe curative
properties attributed to it, people will learn, in time to manufacture their own hot springs, right here,
in Bloomington. Tobe Smith's walls are up
and the roof on the new addition. He will have a "daisy" store
room, when it is finished.
Squirrels are said to be un

Mr. Vannandt of this place was in attendance, last week, upon the convention of funeral directors held in Indianapolis. The papers
speak of the ceremonies being in terspersed with singing and recita
tions, It would seem ridiculous to
see those solemn personages jollifying. J Hon. P..L. D. Mitchell died at his home in Bloomington, May 14th of paralysis. Deceased bad beeen stricken several times with paralysis, and bis death was expected. He was perhaps one of the best known citizens in Monroe county, haying always taken an active aud prominent part in local politics, as a Democrat. Mr. Mitchell held the office of Sheriff two terms, was twice elected Treasurer, and served a term in the House of Representatives. His last public trust was that of Director of the prison south. He was born in Shelby Co. Ky., Dee. 8th, 1809, and so was in his 74th year at the time of his death. He was married to Mary Ketcham in 1833. Mrs. Mitchell is 'still living, as well as seven of the eight children born to them. On Suuday morning. May 20th, between three and four o'clock, Mr. Garrison's brick yard building caught fire from the burning kiln. The roof had become so thoroughly dried by heat that the flames enveloped it almost instantly, and within a .very short time sixty by eighty feet of the best part of the building was destroyed. About fifteen hands came quickly at the alarm, and with the good management of R. M. Wylic, and by excellent labor of all, succeeded in saving the remaining portion of the building, which covered the green brick. Lots not definitely known, but with damages of walls, furnace, etc., is somewhere between three and five hundred dollars. Henry Tourner is a skillful watch repuiror, and a nico fellow.
