The most attractive place in the

Ufe sua Fire IasairMce Ag OSsCy, The undersigned baa with his already popular fire-triad and fire-tested Fire Insurance Agency of this city the young hot vigorous Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York. This is the coming Life Immraitce'Companyof the nineteenth century. It pays all its losses in full from $1,000 to 2O,0Q0. I ean insure yon for about one-half, what is required ia JJn old liae, or level-premium company. This is worth paying attention t. This association has more money on deposit with the insurance Commissioner of New York than any company doing business m the State. All that are thinking of taking Life Insurance (and all ought to have it,) I invite them to call and see we, and examine my terms and associate, and I will pot yon in an association where feu can save one-half of your premium, and have just as good indemnity. That's what I will do. Please call and see me in my office up-stairs in Fee's building, corner of Slh St. and College Avenue, Bloomington, lnd., and I will either insure year life or property, on the best of terms, WM. M.

Nobby suits, neat-fitting and
handsome, are turned out daily by Ben. McGee, the Artist Tailor, at
his emporium of fashion, on the
sooth side of the public square-. A
peculiarity of Meuee s suits is that
while they fit snugly to the form,
as it moulded, they are pertectiy easy no binding or sensation of drawing. In fact, they have the peculiarity of all proper-fitting clothes : yoo are unconscious of the fact that yon have them on your person, and so don't feel constrained and uncomfortable as is the case with the clothes cut by many Tailors. McGee has the best piece goods the market affords and trims with only first-clam trimmings, buttons, etc. A spring suit should be ordered now, so that it may take its place early in the list.

State University Finances. Indianapolis Journal.
Judge Banta one of the trustees of the State University, was in the
city yesterday, looking after the financial interests of the institution. He now says that the refusal of the State officers to pay the $11,500 which the trustees supposed they were entitled to, on the ground that they had lost it through failure to draw it at the time specified in the appropriation, will embarass the institution. "Of course we are not going to make an assignment or ask the oppointment of a receiver, or do anything of that kind," he said to a Journal reporter, "but we can't afford to lose the money. Just like all other institutions that are run on appropriations, we have incurred expenses equal to our
available funds ; and we need the full amount. We were expecting to draw the sum that we supposed was due us for the payment of the expenses of the institution for six months. Now that we are deprived of the money, we will probably be unable to pay the salaries of the professors for half a year. It leaves us in a bad predicament and I don't know just how we are going to get! out ot it. However, we may be able to devise some means, when' the board meets, to overcome the j trouble." 1 "Will it be necessary to ask the next Legislature for aid on account! of the loss of the money ?" "I don't know. Ve had hoped that we would not be forced to ask anything more from the Legislature, and were, therefore trying to arrange matters so that we would be able to avoid doing anything of that kind, because it is very disagreeable." Mr. Wicks has just returned from the east with a second spring and summer stock.

DON'T FAIL TO CATCH ON TO ONE,
-It has been known for some
time that Mrs. Morgan, a widow
ady who aame here to educate her
adopted daughter, had been induced to mortgage her $15,000 farm in
ike county, in favor of Lemuel
Moss, now of Chicago, but it is on-
y recently that the matter has been
made known to the general public through the fact that the mortgage,
which is made for $5,000, is now 1
in litigation in an Indianapolis court. Moss induced Mrs. Morgan 1 to entrust him with a mortgage for $5,000 on which $1,200 was borrowed in Ritzinger's bank, which institution has since made an assignment. The terms of the loan are
that when the $1,200 is due, a forfeit of one thousand dollars matures if the amount is not promptly paid.
Taylor & Peele of Indianapolis, for
Mrs. Morgan, are endeavoring to have the forfeit set aside as usuiy,so
that Mrs. Morgan will have but the $1,200 to pay to redeem her land.
Under the statute of frauds the
whole transaction it would seem
lould be set aside.as the ilitzingers
:iad reason to suspect crookedness
in the manner of the procurement
ot the money. Moss, it is charged, tried to get Mrs. Morgan to take stock in bis steam cooking company for the entire value of the farm, but did not succeed in this. The result
The catarrhal fever, or exceedingly "bad colds" so prevalent during the past two weeks in Bloomington, are as common everywhere else so common as to be regarded as an epidemic. It is evidently owing to some peculiar condition ot the atmosphere. It may have escaped the recollection of many tax-payers th&t the
third Monday of April (the 19th)
is the last day for paying the first
installment of taxes without penal
ty. Taxes and death are the only
certainties they must be met. In order to prevent the disagreeable
consequences incident to a levy and enforced sale of property then, it
would be well for all persons liable for taxes to give heed to this an
nouncement, as the Treasurer will collect without fear or favoritism this Fall.
The Lodge of K. of P. of
Bloomington will give the play of
"Damon and Pythias," some time
during the month of April. The leading roles will be assumed by Chas. W. Harryman of Morgan
count', aud Calvin R. Worrall, of
this city. All theater-goers have at some time seen this always popular aud beautiful play, and will be glad to have the opportunity of seeing it again. Mr.Harryman has been on the lecture platform a number of years as au elocutionist, and traveled with a theatrical company for some time, while Mr. Worrall has developed histrionic ability of
a nigti character, riay-goera will be impatient to seethe performance.

Her son, Grant, is at present in Connersv.'Ue, lnd, John Wylie and Bob Strong have finish(d the repainting of the tower and f lock faces on the court house, and that institution looks as good as new. The colors are a vast improvement over the "Salt Creek yaller" that covered the wood work before. Judge Duncan is spoken of as
a candidate for nomination to the 1 office of Congressman, and if Mat-
son is nominated Duncan will give
him no end of trouble. It is no new thing for the Progress to favor
