Several persons who have traveled over the State say that people need not leave Bloomington to better their condition. Business is flat everywhere, and in none of the towns of Bloomington's population has there been as few failures. More substantial improvements, they assert, too, have been made in our town and vicinity within the past year, than in any town that has come under their notice.
These can he found

An Exchange says this is caused by prohibition, that formerly they used all their surplus water in their whisky, while it now accumulates, causing disastrous .floods. This is another argument against prohibition. Good pictures made in cloudy as well as clear weather, at Summers' new Gallery. A student being short of funds wrote to his father,: "Send me $100 by return mail. He who gives quickly gives doubly." The old gentleman replied by the return mail enclosing fifty dollars, with the remark that he had responded promptly ; the fifty dollars inclosed were equivalent to the desired one hundred dollars.

On Friday morning last a half dozen young men had a keg of beer conveyed to Labertew's spring, north ot town, and there enjoyed themselves, in their way, till near noon, when several members of this tough Sunday school class got into
row, and Bill Hawkins, who
claims that Lon. Stout and some
others of the party abused him, hurried to his home, about a mile away, after his trusty revolver. This he procured, and then started back lo the banqueting hall, but
met some of the gang coming to town at Hunter's hill. Hawkins
promptly opened fire on tbem, shooting Oscar Rush through the leg, midway between the knee and
tbigh,and grazing Chas. Treat across
the back ; the others ran too fast to
get shot, Hawkins then came back
to town and seemed wild with excitement and beer. With cocked revolver he rushed into John Dol-
an's house and told the women to
leave on pain of death, and they hurried up stairs; he then went to Mrs. Helton's house and told her to "throw up her hands," pointing the revolver all the time at whoev- . . ri .1 U XT..

Hill's lot to the stable, and W. J.
Allen who was on his way to dinner, was called by Mrs. Dolan, and he went after the desperado. He discovered him in the alley, and
was warned to keep his distance,
with a threat that he would shoot.
Mr. Allen tried to pacify Hawkins, but the only answer was the bead he drew on Allen and the threat to
shoot if be came nearer. In the
meantime Ren. Smith was not in
ed, and procuring a Winchester ri
fle he followed Hawkins to the
former residence of Andy Johnson
John Wylie also procured a revol
ver and joined in the pursuit. When Hawkins found a revolver
and a Winchester drawn on him he
threw his pistol over a fence, and
surrendered. Robert Seward picked up the pistol and in letting
down the hammer, the single load
it contained was discharged, pass
ing disagreably close to Prof. Wood-
burn, who was standing directly in
front of Seward. Hawkins was sent to jail in default of 11,000
bail, and several of his assistant beer ' . ..
drinkers were fined and sent to jail to keep him company. Mayor Mulky is determined that a oertain favored class of rioters shall hereafter pay the penalty ot their misdeeds, without regard to family or influence. With a levy of 81.20 on each $100 of valuation the city will doubtless be able to pay out next year. By the way several persons have been anxiously inquiring just how much the city is in debt, outside the bonds. There has been no
statement published, that we have observed. As a matter of information it would be well to give the public the figures-pot a mass of figures, as is sometimea done, but a plain statement of how much the city owes. The ladies of the M. E. church gave an ice cream supper in the

The apple crop will be light this year, and the fruit defective. The severe winters of the past three years have almost ruined the orchards and killed the small fruits.

A man who has been in the
northern portion of the State says
that he found business exceedingly dull everywhere. The growing
corn is the best he, ever saw and
there is much of it. Wheat, after
passing Crawfordsville, improves,
and is very good, especially about
Logausport. Oats promise a large
yield. Fruit trees were generally
winter-killed.
Schools are in great demand
in many portions of the county, and
the applicants for positions are so numerous that there will be no trouble in securing the best teachers. The S. 8. excursion to Greencastle Junction was a big success the attendance' large and the day beautiful.
A farm hand who had a fight

ing Dr. Harvey, were required to
make the operation a success, each one having his special work assigned him. Dr. Jas.D.Maxwell, jr. of this place, and Dr. Allison Max
well, now of Iudianapolis, were of the number. After the incision
had been made and the tumor examined, it was found to be a fibrocystic,and not an ovarian tumor, as was believed, and was so interlaced
with the bladder and ducts leading
thereto that the utmost care and
caution were required in dissecting
away the tumor. Before the oper
ation was performed Mrs. Owens
weight was sometbiug over 17 libs
The physicians estimated the weight
of the tumor at fifty pounds. Dr.
Harvey said that if no bad symp
toms were developed in four days
from the time the operation was performed there would be great
hone of her entire recovery. A
last advicea she was getting alou
nicely. She is 54 years of age-
ten years younger than Mrs. Geno

the Discipline of the M. E-Church, j Wm. F. Browning, Robert C. Greeves and P. G. Pauley were appointed a committee to investigate the circumstances of Rev. C. R. Perdue's recent failure, and reported as follows: "We the committee appointed by Rev. J. E. Brant, Pastor of College Ave. M. E.

for having contracted debts without a probability of paying the same, or for acting dishonestly during the time be has been the sole proprietor
of the New York Store in the city
of Bloomington, Ind."
E. P, Bickuell, a member of

Tbe Cole-May trade is "off."
A contract was drawn up ou Mon day, which both men signed, stipu
lating all the points in the trade. On Tuesday May drew up notes
providing for 8 per ct. interest, and Cole refused to sign them as the contract was silent on interest. For tho three mouths ending June 30lh, Dr. Weir, Secretary of of the Board of Health, reports 97 births and 30 deaths in Monroe county. There were also 40 mar
riages within the same time. Tbe death rate is always very low in
this portion of the State during the summer months. Iu fact the un
dertakers would be compelled to shut up shop were it not for cold weather, which invariably brings them a profitable business. According to the manufacturers of wood mosaics, hard maple on end is four or five times as durable as marble and equally durable with the hardest baked tile.
Charley Alexander will not go to California next winter as he contemplated. Oscar Sunder has quit the liquor business, and is running several billiard tublea, selling ginger ale, champaign cider and lemonade in fact a temperance saloon.

John K. Anderson and wife left Bloomington on Thursday for Chicago, where they intend to remain a month or more. Mr. An
derson has a brother residing in Chicago, and his son Lew. is also en
gaged in business in the Garden City. The Progress wishes this kindly couple a pleasant visit and a safe return. Mr. John Cole, the efficient manager of the trotting association, informs the Progress that preparations are being made for the first
series of trot ting races at a date ear
ly in August. There is no good reasou why this enterprise should not be a success everybody takes an interest in a ftist horse many
of those who declaim against racing
will cover their faces with their hands and peep through their, fingers. It is human nature. The K. of P. have organized a Drill Corps, and they meet twice a week, on the level ground near Showei' Factory, at 7 p.m. for drill. There is material iu the Bloomington Lodge for a good drill corps, and there is no good reasou why they may not become as profi
cient as the members of any other
Lodge in the State perseverence and practice alone are necessary. Mr. J. F. Pittrnan is the Drill Master.
Mr. Ijeo Hirsch, who during
the past twenty-two months his
been chief dalesman in Mose Kalui's "Boss" clothing store, leaves Bloomington this week for Cincinnati, O., where he expects to take service in a mercantile house.

The Progress wishes him all manner ot good fortune, and will be'glad to
learn of bis business and fiuancial success in the future. He deserves a good positiou in some one of the
many ntsi-cmss Dtisiness nouses or
the Queen City, and will not remain long out of employment.
