Moblet has again brought a

gooes from tbe cities in anticipa
turn of a lively spring trade. This
he will doubtless secure, as he is familiarly known all over Monroe county, and many of his old customers wait till he brings on bis
new Kpods before they buy; Charley las some specialities among which are laces, gloves, hosiery and parasols. These, tbe ladies declare, tan be bought more cheaply at Mooter's than at any other store; From all tbe surrounding counties tbe people flock to Bloomington to examine Tobe Smith's wonderful display of beautiful goods. His store is a sort of museum, ia which every article ever heard of is kept. He. is a skillful watchmaker, and tarns out some splendid work., Tbe famous five cent counter at-; tracts great crowds when the weather ia warm enough to spread -the goods out doors.

A great deal of complaint is

were too intelligent to remain in the Democratic party.
A flame in her glassy eye. a

through the house she cuts a path, 1 and in her every stranger sees a '

tubs of water flood the floor, her voice ia heard from morn till night, rising above the awful roar.

All who take up animals astray should know that they acquire no right to their possession as against their owner, nor to any pay for keeping them, unless they take -the course prescribed by law, and to be safe the best way for a farmer as a rule would be to see the township justice or bis statute
on the subject so as to .be sure. If
one takes up another's animal astray and fails to take the course with it prescribed by law he is not
only not entitled to pay for pains snd keepings but is liable to damage and to prosecution for the fail
ure as a misdemeanor. At this

Moving and house-cleaning has commenced. Plant shade trees about your premises. Last week there was a good deal of clover seed sown. Tbe game of marbjes now has the undivided attention of thesmall boy. The hens got in their work last week and brought down the price of eggs. There was some plowing done last week, though the ground was rather moist. It is never too late to learn that it will not pay to trust the lighting-rod dispenser. Harman Friedley has sold

able man.
While the foresters are planting a row of trees on either side of the large streams in order to prevent floods, if they would think to hang pieces of sponge to all the twigs of each tree, this would absorb the excessive moisture in the atmosphere and prevent the heavy, dashing rains "so injurious to the farmers. A little practical sense and forethought, are all that are necessary to enable people to escape the dangers that beset them
at every step. If the sponge theory does not work satisfactorily, large
tanks could be built around the
trunks of the trees, into which the sponges might be squeezed by mem
bers of the weather bureau. This may not seem practicable, but then it is not strictly necessary that a theory should have anything practicable about it.
Periodically we hear growls
from roroe of our contemporaries about
the useless expenditure of life and treasure involved in tbe, hitherto, unsuccessful
attempts to explore the mysteries which lie bidden ia the virgin bosom of the Arc
tic sea. Tbe grumblers urge, truly en
ough, that up te date, no discoveries of
any commercial value bare been made,
but, when they venture to go farther, and
say that none sueh will ever be made
they talk dogmatically of something they
know nothing about. Tbe possibilities of scientific exploration and research are
practically illimitable. At any rate, he is a rash man whoi in the face of the "long
results" of the past twenty years, not to
include a larger range, will vsnturo to say that the limit has been reached. Scien
tific expeditions of the nature of the
franklin, Nares and Greeley ones, must
be regarded as of great value sotwitb
standing tbe comparative barrenness of
their merely geographical results, and their leaders will fill a niche in tbe Tem
ple of Fame, at which their dotraetors will only be permitted to gaae from afar
off. Those utilitarian growlers remind us, irresistibly, of the mutineer sailers whose
counsels, had they been followed, would
have made Columbus "'bout ship" and re
turn ingloriouslr to Spain, instead' of
boldly and successfully wresting its secret
from tbe Western Sea, and opening rip I new world to tbe astonished eyes of E rope.

The lecture of Rev. Fitzpat-
rick, Tuesday night of last week,
was a well attended and interesting
one. The reverend gentleman is a deep scholar, a pleasant-mannered
man, with easy address and a free
flow of choice language. John T. Eller of Van Buren
township is announced in to-day's
Progress as a candidate for the office of Sheriff. Mr. Eller is a Monroe county man by birth, went
into the 22d Regiment Ind. Volunteer Infantry, where he served three years; after his discharge he re-enlisted in the 145th Regiment
where he served until the close of
the war. In the battle of Mission
Ridge Mr. Eller was shot through the face, portions of his jaw bone
having been carried away. His
face still bears tbe marks of the bullet wound. Mr. Eller is a first-
class man in every particular, and
would discharge the duties of the
office of Sheriff with satisfaction to all.
The turnpike people have se
cured another victory. For several months the persons who have been endeavoring to secure the ncc- j essary number of signatures for the turnpike south of town have been making slow progress, but a scheme was gotten up to build a turnpike j
on the Ketcliam Mill road, and fig-
natures were being secured; This
would tax Wm. Blakely, John i Stipp and some others who never go on that road, and they thus saw
the propriety of signing the old petition, which they had refused before to do. This they did on Saturday, adding over 1,000 acres to the list, and the construction of the pike south of town is now assured.
Better favor these turnpikes than to have them forced oii you by others.
Wouldn't it be well for the
"city fathers" to check up on the
McAdamizing of new streets for a
year or two, and expend some of their wealth upon the repair of tbe streets already built ? The middle of west Sixth street is already cut
through to the earth in very many places, and as the city must keep
up these streets after they are con
structed, it will certainly be an ex
hibition of economy and business
judgment to save those streets al
ready built, rather than get more poorly constructed streets on their hands than they can possibly keep
in repair. Tbe eptire center of
many of tbe streets Bhould be covered with broken stone, if they are to be of any service to the people. The statement that Mattiugly, one of the persons injured by the
Ellettsville dynamite explosion had died on Friday was incorrect. He died on Sunday night at 8 o'clock Matthews' injuries are found to be much more serious than was at first believed. His leg is terribly swollen. Evidently there is sOme poisonous substance in the powder;that, adhering to the iron, poisoned tbe wounds.

OF 1884 J A New and Successful Counting Machine. 108 Votes Cast by Some Sixty Persons. The unterrified Democrats of Bloomington township met in mass convention last Saturday for the purpose of '
doing a good many things, and especially j et instructing the delegates to the con
gressional convention to vote for Vol.i Jfatson. The first position that the Matson ranks desired to gain was the ebair-1 manship, toward which Major-Uenerat John MoGee directed his attention, but on the nrinoinle that larre bodies move
slowly, General John was momentarily
repuisea ey vargeant rranu Bare ot the enemy, who beiag young, quick and active, placed one of tfao Kast Democrats in nomination before General HcGee had fully straightened himself out in a standing position. This action by the opposition somewhat rattled tbe mncbinemen, but only for a moment, for immediately after Bare had made his nomination the
opposition in rapid succession placed seven or eight persons in nomination. But
McUee was not to be flanked so easily ; after all these nominations had been made, he majestically arose, and in that eloquent manner peculiar to himself, moved that Hon. Eli Alillun act as chairman, and without receiving any second, be put the motion. After four or five had voted in tbe affirmative, he grandly announced that Mr. Millen bad been unanimously
elected. Tho nomination of the seven
other gentlemen has not yet been acted npon, but we presume that thev are Ivins
en the table subject to bo recalled at seme
tuture any. John HcGee, the emardian and ad
litem ot the youthful democracy here moved that a committee of five be appointed to select delegates to tbe State, Congressional, Ropreson tative. and Judi
cial conventions, but Hon. Jerry Pittman ni. 1.-.1J : i "j ..
wu.ui v "wtu iii uuj iueri kbu jumping to bis feet offered an amendment to McGue's motion to tbe effect that delegates be selected by ballot, and that they be
Instructed by ballot. Ho said that he for
ens was not in favor of appointing a
committee to do this work when tbe
Chair had the names of the parsons to be appointed before him. Jerry enthused the Democrats, who supported his amendment by a laree majority. This was a
deplorable defeat to HcGee, machine and
Matson, lor it was thereby shown that the Kast and Cooper Democrats were in the lead when an honest rote was taken.
After this a general melee occurred.
during which several Democrats denounced the machine and its mothods in vigorous terms. After restoring order the obuir gravely announced it in order to select delegates to the State Convention.
Felt us and Millen were selected delegates
te the Representative Convention. Some Democrats thought it a little strange that over 300 votes were cast for delegates to the conventions, when not over 75 Democrats wore present, but they did not understand tho properties of tbe machine. Hon. It. W. Miors and John Parks wera Selected delegates to the Congressional Convention and John Slojkwell and Jas. 8. Williams to the judicial.
Next in order was to hear snecches
from candidates present. John K. Kast defended his record said he bad never given utterance to a Republican idea in Bis life. (One man suggested that Kast
did give utterance to a big Bepublican
idea snout lour rears ago wnen he dropped a Bepublican idea into the ballot box.) John repented Id sack cloth and
ashes, made great promises of service to
tne party ana a vote was tneroupon taken, resulting as follows: East 31, VVorrall 25, Graham 12. Total vote cast 6S. Here several Democrat.'! became disgusted and left tbe house, and the MuGee wing wanted to adjourn. They knew Matson was
In a minority. The motion to adjourn was defeated after a second count. HcGee said there were only fourteen votas against adjourning, but met torrent of abuse for such a count The next count showed 34 against adjouruing. HcGee and Dolaa were tbe tellers one sided. It was suggested tbat Capt. Shoemaker, one of tbe best representatives of the democracy, "stand by" and watch the voting and count; but this would not do, tbe Chair ordering him to take a seat,' which Capt. Shoemaker very positively refused to do. The Chair then called for some civil authority to come forward and make some arrests, and no officer responding, Hr. Millen declared tbe meeting adjourned. Then ensued a scene of excitement that beggars description. Finally Pittman was enthusiastically elected Chairman, and Millen, doubtless fearing that the whole thing would be given away, began to edge toward the chair again, and being begged at by Hr. Koseberry, reluctantly consented to take the chair again and tbe balloting for Congressman was resumed ; but Shoemaker didn't watch, and so the
result was Matson 74, Cooper 34. Total 10S! About 60 persons voted, but the
machine again mr.de up all losses; And this was the end. Hen had oo their bats,
the house was fllled with eheap cigar

Frank Dobson, of Perry tp. is
announced in to-day's paper as a
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for Sheriff. Mr. Dobson is a hard-working mechanic (a black
smith), and is as well known for
honesty and industry as for his me
chanical skill. He has achieved success In life through hard work and business sagacity, and is as good a Republican as he is a firstclass citizen. Dobson is a man of intelligence, and would conduct the office to which he aspires with marked ability. Among the various good men offering for the position, he is the equal of any, and if nominated, will certaiuly be our
next Sheriff.
John B. Buzzard is among
those mentioned as probable candi
dates for Sheriff. He is an extensive stock trader, has a general acquaintance throughout the county,

"A great danger in using narcotic

One of the modest demands upon the Treasury which has been reported adversely by the committee having charge of it is that of a hospital steward whd, while in a Confederate prison, nursed several Union officers, and now wants f 10,000 for that service. This petitioner is apparently only one of many who have heard that there is a great surplus in the Treasury, aud are racking their brains for an excuse to get a share of it. As long as Congressmen obligingly introduce these preposterous claims,
there will be applicants enough to
make them.
