The cause of the great "rush' in Chicago is accounted for: "Will yon be home to dinner?"
asked a Chicago woman of her husband as he was about starting for
business. "No, 1 think not," he answered,
"I expect to be very busy. Be
sides, a new saloon is to be opened
just around the corner from my of
fice, and I will drop in there and
get a little free lunch."
"Well," said his wife, while a wave of fear swept across her face,
"be careful not to get hurt in the
rush." Genuine Worthington Flour, at Robertson Bros. Provision Store.

Raley A Co. look real cosy in their, new room under Masonic Hall. Postal cards coat the government 4 cts. and 4 mills per 1,000. What per cent of profit n that ? The G. A.

The Lashure damage suit against the railroad company, was compromised last week by the company paying Lashure f 250. The public debt grows beautifully less: It was decreased almost
$15,000,000 daring the month of
March. The L. AN. railroad ran an excursion train recently from Cincinnati to New Orleans, a distance of 924 miles, in 28 hours. Those stores of the new block that have erected canvass awnings, present a handsome appearance. Makes them look more modern. Spencer Journal : Mrs. John T. Curtis and daughter went to Bloomington last Saturday to visit a relative who is very low with consumption. An immense freight business is being done on the railroad at present. Heavily laden double trains are passing each way every three or four hours. Some heartless wretch caught two cats, tied them by the tail, and flung them into the cellar of a Bedford church. They kept pretty
quiet until about the middle of the
sermon, when they began to complain, and the pastor serenely re
marked, "WiH the choir please wait until its services are required."

If a county treasurer in his second term paid oat money on his own indebtedness, either to the county on ! his previous term, or to individual, and said payments rendered him a defaulter
in his second term, tbe sureties oa the last bond will be liable therefor. Tbe
payments made on the indebtedness of the first term without regard to the derivation of the money inured to tbe benefit of the first sureties (72 Ind. 41:7S lad. 33S.-TS Ind. 274:131. The appellants a sureties on the bend ef a county treasurer for his first term offered in evidence his annual
reports of receipts and disbursement.
This evidence was erroneously excluded.
i ne report made by tne treasurer were required by law, and bavins been
approved by the county board were prima facia correct. They (bowed, presnmptivslj, that tbe whole defalcation occurred
during the second term. The appellants, the suroties on tbe first bond, were enti tied to the benefit of the nresumntion af

tion muat nave prevailed in their favor
unless' destroyed by evidence showing the incorrectness of such reports, ( J3 Ind. 331.) 3. Rvidence that the treasurer at tbe close of the first term did not have en de

Rev. Fitzpatrick, formerly of
Indianapolis, will lectors in the Catholic church to-night (Tuesday.) The lecture will be worth a careful hearing. A man who went around to the various stores in Bloomington last Friday, asking "got any good butter?" was fined and coated before a justice on a charge of provoke. The pay car on L. N. A.

An anxious correspondent of
the Progress wries: "Why is it necessary for a base ball nine to yell like a band of Comanche Indians when they play ?" Give it up; ask us something easy for instance: "Who will be nominated at Chicago?" David Judali, who many years ago was prominent in business and in eity politics, was in town last week. Very few persons recognized him. He will be remembered as an exceedingly corpulent man. He is uow thin in face and body, and does not look like himself at all. Positive assurances have been
received from the clerk of the weather that summer will be here
by June 20tb. This may seem sn early date for such a prediction,
but the groundhog' has promised
it, and cannot afford to thus disappoint his numerous friends and admirers.

Tbe Progress does net think it
necessary to give the Republicans
any advice as to the selection of
candidates. There has never been an objectionable or immoral man on
the Board, nor have there been such candidates before the conven
tions at any time within our recol
lection. The people of Blootuiugton those that take an active part
in the direction of public affairsare the peers of those of most towns
of its population, and the morals of
tbe town cannot possibly suffer at
their hands. They have a right to demand, however, that their officers
those who do police duty shall
enforce the laws, and we believe
thev will do so,

Hon ia assured. Although Mr.
Buskirk is of opposite politics, local
pride impels the Progress to admit
that we are somewhat gratified at his success. There is no more able
jurist In the district, and We feel
that the interests of the people will be carefully guarded by Mr. Bus
kirk If he should be elected. It is well to remember, however, thst
the republican pirty will have s candidate in the field who is expected to succeed Judge Wilson.
