The gentlemen representing the Wrought Iron Range Co. have
made a first-class start here ; they have only been here three weeks and we find them to be first-class men in every particular. Most traveling people make it a rale to sell a man's note just as quick as they get it, but the Superintendent
of the Wrought Iron Kange Co.
has assured us that ha never sells, barters or trades any paper, under any circumstances. Therefore we do not hesitate to recommend these
gentlemen to onr people. 1 See the new stock of embroideries at McCalla's. For Embroinderies go to McCallaA C s. See the Cabinet Shirt at McCaila & Co.'s. Yon will find the Health Cor

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS APPROPRIATELY' CELEBRATED, LAST THURSDAY, BY FRANKLIN LODQE, NO. 22.
NOTES AMD COMMENTS.
For several weeks past the chief
topic of conversation among our amusement loving people has been the anniversary exercises of the Knights of Pythias. This order
has won for itself an onviable repu
tation in the way of presenting successful entertainments, and the one Thursday evening added another brilliant jewel to its already brilliant crown. Active committees were appointed and tbe result speaks highly of their combined efforts.
On the day of the entertainment
the Decoration Committee worked
assiduously in beautifying the Cas

and at night the hall presented
view which was beautiful to behold.
Chinese lanterns, flags, and bricbrac hung in profusion in the hall,
and in front of the building, pre
senting a sight that will lone be
remembered by those who witness
ed if.
Tho Brazil Uniform Brass Band
arrived on the evening train, and
was met r.t the depot by a delega
tion of Knights, who at once paraded the streets with the music in advance. About seven o'clock the
: band again gave 6 treat music, and
in a few moments the Knights of
Pythias Hall was crowded to-its utmost capacity with people anxious to see "the ball a rollin'." Tbe exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Peak of the Christian church. The Brazil Orchestra gave a choice selection, after which Sir Knight Calvin R.Worrall,C.C, the presiding officer of the evening made a few introductory remarks, which were in his happiest style
and were quite appropriate to the-;
occasion. Mrs. J. JU. Henley tben sang the beautiful solo, "The Young
Shepherdess and the Knight." The
Chairman then introduced Sir
Knight, John R. East, who deliv
ered the Anniversary Address. It is needless to say that tho address
was good everybody knows John
R. East's ability as a speaker. Af
ter a few remarks by members of
the order, and music by the Orches tra, the crowd adjourned the danc
era to tho Opera House, and the
older people to the Orchard House.
Tho menu prepared for the occasion
has rarely been equaled in Bloomington and certainly not surpassed
After the first table had feasted to
its heart's content it adjourned to
the Opera House, where tho young people were tripping the light fan
tastic to the music of the Brazil Orchestra. The dancers then left
tbe gay scene and repaired to the
Orchard House where they too partook of tho delicacies of tbe season
They then returned to tho Opera
House, where dancing was resumed and continued until three o'clock Friday morning. Thore were near fifty couple who took part in the
mazy whirl, and they danced over thirty dances. The recent change in tho arrangement of the hall im
proves it for ball puposes io some
respects, as the crowd of spectators
oan now bo seated on the raised platforms out of the way of the danc
ers. There were in all near eighty couples who feasted in the banquet
hall, the number comprising one of
tbo largest crowds ever accommodated in one evening by a Bloomington caterer. Among the visitors present were : Geo. W. Brill, Danville; Samuel Mock, Salem ; Max Maienthall, New Albany; Miss Lutta Helton, Tuscola, 111.; Jesse Wiustandley, Bedford ; L.P. Henley, City Town, Ga.; L.

The Reading Work. As was
announced last week by program and the county pspei-i, tiioso interested in the Teachers' Beading Circle work in this county met in tbo High School Chapel, and ns woll as circumstances would admit, carried out the program . Bad roads and
rain made somewhat against tho work. In the s.fternoon thero were about thirty persons present. Out of six on the program Mis Maggie Porch, and Messrs. U. H. Smith and Dow Foster weru present and ret.d very excellent papers. Miss Porch reviewed, very thoroughly, the first and second chapter, of Hailman's Lecturet on .Education. The discussion of these was led by Mr. Rabb, of tho Sen
ior claw, in the University. Mr. Smith gave an excellent resume of early English History, reviewed-by Prof. Carr. Mr. D. B. Poster read a very sensible and praetiotiblo paper on the "Value of Township Institutes." This was discussed in a very pleasant and effective way by Prof. W. A. Bell of the Indiana School Journal. The masting was a good one ana productive of good results. Tbe ex. cam. meet with Prof. Beck Saturday week to arrange for another meeting in May. It is hoped that that meeting may be the most successful one of tbe year.and inspire other teachers to take tbe work of the Reading Circle . Robert C.
