TIEWS OF TWO VOVK MBS FBOH BLOOMINSTOiY. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 13th, 1887. Friend Gabe: Tho present date llnds us in the city of "The Angels" in name, but not in fact. Leaving Kansas city on the 13th of January, our train consisted of twenty-one Pullman Sleepers, divided into three sections. We were fortunate in being on the first, surrounded by people from New York, Kansas, etc., who upon acquaintance proved very pleasant. Saturday morning found us at Las Vegas Hot Spring!, where we spent the day very pleasantly bathing, and climbing tho mountains which surround the place, (the Railroad company own a very fine hotel here, hence the stop). Lenving there in tho afternoon, we ran down to Santa Fe, and rising early Sunday morning we find ourselves in the oldest town in the V. S., and a queer old place it is, with its adobe or mud houses, many of which are 100 years old. . "We fpend the day here taking in the sights. Some of the party claim they wont to church, but we think it was the ruins of the old church, which dates back to 1700 a Spanish inscription status it was rebuilt after tho Indian Insurrection of 1710. Leaving here at 3 p. m. the next fortyeight hour's ride is through Western Sow Mexico, Arizona, and the Mojave Desert of Southern Cal. This is but a vast tract of sand covered with sage brush and cactus. The most ot Arizona is but a barren ""Arriving at Colton on Tuesday afternoon wo stop off a day to rest after our

we visit San Bernardino, a very prevvy town indeed, nestled down in a small, but one of the most productive valleys of dauthern California. A pleasant trip from here is to "Arrow Head Hot Springs, ' situated at the top of Arrow Head Mountain. These springs have a national reputation and many people from the east spsnd their winters there. From here we go to San Diego, where we spend two weeks and a half very pleasantly. From there we made several excursions) one was a drivo of thirty miles to mussel beds and light house on Point Lomn. From here you have a grand vi w of the Pacific Ocean one side, on the other San Diego Bay, with town and mountains back of it. This must be seen to bo appreciated. Taking a stage coach you can m a few hour's visit National City and Paradise "Valley. Another pleasant ride is over the mountains eighteen miles to TajVn Valley where the finest raisin of Soutl era California are produced without irrigation. Still another nice drive is down the coast eighteen miles to the "monument" the boundary between the United Stales and the Republic of Mexico but we hud already seen enough of the Mexicans and didn't care to go. Last and finest of all is a drive along Coronado Bench (the peninsula that makos San Diego llay). The drivo is thirty miles loinr. and the hard sand near the surf is as

They have forty-two ostriches at present, from two to four years old, and expect to have a now cargo from Africa soon. It coils from $600 to $800 apiece to eet

The mill will be worth a visit after all tho changes are made and the machinery has been placed in order It is singular that a man can't be content to live upon a salary and perquisites amounting to from 2,000 to 3,000 a year, but must act crooked. Take Jack Howard for instance. He couldn't make one-fourth as much money at any other business as he was making as Warden, yet he must "go wrong" when it was so much easier to act square. Human nature, in some people, is a conundrum Hollingsworth.the Treasurer of Fnox county, who embezzled $78,000, was sentenced to three years in prison. This is at the rate of 26,000 a year, and is a very handsome salary Hiram Lindley left Bloomington on Saturday night for Kansas, to visit a brother he has not seen for twenty years, and who is reported to be ou his death-bed P.

The sensations of the past week have been the revelations consequent upon an investigation of affairs at tbe Insane Asylum and at the Prison South. The treatment of the iueanc has been shown to be inhuman and barbarous, and while this has beau known to be so by the friends of the unfortunate

insane it has been difficult to fasten the facts officially. But evidence has recently been introduced to show these things in their true light, and the brutal treatment and the "spiriting" away of articiessent to the. unfortunates it is hoped may be at least checked for a time. Matters in the Southern Penitentiary, however, have come to a fo

cus, and the determined investiga-

ons being prosecuted at Jeft'erson-

Lyflle have resulted in the resigna

tion of the Warden, Jack Howard,

and the discovery that he ia "short"

to the State some 'fifty or sixty

lousand dollars. Howard also has

used $9,000 of money belonging to convicts, borrowing of one man 2,-

000 "on honor" (this man having

received a pension of $5,000 soon

fter he was incarcerated). The

Directors, too, were 6uch warm,

personal friends of Howard, that

le was serving icitfiout bond) aud

hence there is no one responsible

for his shortage but himself. It

was utterly impossible for Howard

to do the tilings he has done with

out tbe knowledge or connivance of

others, and before the week closes,

the investigations now being coo

ducted by the House legislative

committee will show who the men

are. Howard tried to play the

game of "bluff" on the persons con

ducting the investigations, (the

game usually resorted to by such

people), but he was given to un-1 derstand that he was not in a political caucus, and that the committee

was doing business on business principles, and not to cover up the

wrong doing of a partisan. It was then he weakened and resignad,and raved and cursed like a mad man, so the Journal says. All the crooked people tins year, are Democrats,

it seems.

Mrs. Margaret Gregory has

Mf. Margaret Gregory will assist Mrs. Theresa Gregory this season, but expects to go to Los Angeles Cal., next Fall. John C. Dolan and wifa went

relations and friends.

Fine costumes will be numerous at the K. of P. ball to-morrow night. Mrs. John Sluss and Mrs.Margaret. Gregory have been visiting Mrs. Harrison Hight in Spencer. H. C. Duncan and wife went to Bedford last week, called to the bedside of Mr. Duncan's mother, who is dangerously sick. What has become of Robinson, the man who held the Indiana Legislature up by the tail for a while? He seems to have sunk quickly out of sight. Tom Han Ion has again been using his ready pistol, having shot an engineer named Sicer, at New Albany, last week, while engaged iu a political quarrel. Attorney General Michener is expected in town next Monday, to look after the interests of the State iu the matter of fees, fines, forfeitures, etc. , A letter from Southern California, written by Ed. Hall and Will. Adams, will be found in the Progress to-day. It will be read with interest by the many persons who long for a change of climate. On Saturday last Wm. A. Rogers sold his farm of seventy-five acres, lying a mile east of town, on the Unionville road, to Jas. B.Clark, for $4,7o0. Mr. Rogers took, as part payment, two lots just north of Mr. Clark's residence, at $350 each, the balance to be paid in cash. Now that the long promised 'boom' has begun, let everybody assist it. It was stated, several weeks ago, that Mrs. Jos. N. Alexander and Mrs. Geo. Bollcnbacher, had given a supper to a number of invited guests in Mrs. Rott's ice cream parlors, on the east side. It was an error so far as Mrs. Alexander

was concerned. Mrs. Margaret

Gregory and Mrs.Bollenbachei are the ladies who entertained. Prof. Woodburn favors the Progress this week with the third of a series of letters, written from Baltimore. The letter published to-day will be of more than usual interest as it refers to former Bloom-

ingtonians who are now citizens of Washington, and also tells of Mrs. Cleveland's reception in such a readable way that all will be interested. On Thursday, Miller & Son shipped fourteen head of the finest horses, perhaps, ever sent from this

point. 1 hey were, every one, halt

or three-tonrths JNorman or Clydes

dale, fiue, fat in splendid condi

tion and were shipped to Chicago, where good horses are always sale

able. Six of.the draft horses weighed from fifteen to sixteen hundred, and taken as a whole, the load was

worth looking at.

EMBROIDERIES

A NEW STOCK,

At the BEE HIVE

$14,300 on Monday. Major Simpson, the gentluman who it seems after all toas employed to do the Attorney General's work, was interviewed on Monday as to the reported shortage in tbe County Clerk's office, and he stated that the investigation is not yet concluded, as there are many books yet to be examined, but that up to Monday at noon the total amount, in round figures, is $14,300, with a credit of $2,100 paid In by Browning at the time the office was surrendered to Enoch Fuller. Ot this amount there is due to estates some $7,500, to the State of Indiana $2,300, and the remainder is due to ex-officers, justices of the peace, constables, printers, etc. The Progress had hoped that the amount would not lie more than half as much as it is shown to be, for several reasons. One reason is sufficient, viz ; that widows, orphans,and other needy heirs of estates will necessarily be greatly distressed in consequence, and the pittances due them may now be wasted in law suits to secure what was already theirs through a costly process of law.

Miss Nellie Coffin is clerking in the Bee Hive dry goods store. Frank Williams' wife died last Saturday night with consumption. Mrs. Jos. N. Cron and her cousin, Miss James,have been visiting in Spencer for the past week. Born to Mr. and Mrs. David
