Take op the 6 per cent, county nrdrrs by the issue of 4 per cent, bonds wbich can be readily sold at par, and save ten or fifteen hundred dollars per year. Why not?

Citizens of Indiana are proud of fb capital city it ia without quest ten as fine as any in the land with iu new State house, the new union depot in coarse of construction, its broad avenues and numberless fine buildings, both public and private. Now she is known to be within the natural gas belt, and her utanufketorie will noon be doubled in number, and in addition to being the greatest railroad eeuUr in the couatqr she will also be the nanniacturing center of the gnat west. The Progress is proud f our capital city. People, may thank God and take courage over the fact (hat there is no political campaign this year,

and that they will be permitted to attend to business and endeavoi to make a respectable living for their

families. Come to think of it 'tis

a little singular that the business interests of an entire State are per

mitted to suffer every two years because a half dozen men in each

county are fighting over offices that profit nobody but themselves! Did

you ever take this view ot it?

Our old friend, Jno-W.Throop,

when here this winter, promised to

jot down some recollections of old

times tor the Progress, tjnd gives us the first installment this week.

Mr. Throop is now in his 77th year

and in the enjoyment of good health. He resided 65 years in Blooraiug-

too, coming to the town before it

was a town, and remembers many incidents that are of general inter

est to the older citizens, at least ;

My father raeved to Bloomington in

the summer of 1842. When we arrived there the first oellege was justcomnienood

and I worked Mora, carrying onc per day until tha brick work wm finished.

is tne present jail.

Sixty-eight years ago Tuesday,

April 28th, the order of Odd Fel

lows was instituted in this country,

It is true that prior to 1810 there

had been a Lodge in New York.but it soon ceased to work. The move

ment of Thomas Wildey and John

Welch, in Baltimore, April 26th, 1819, can be traced back with certainty, and therefore the Sovereign Grand Lodge has formally fixed

that date as the starting point of

the order in this country. Through

nut this country and Canada the Lodges will commemorate the event.

The character of the order and the

men that compose it is very much

different in 1887 from what it was

in 1819. Then it was looked upon

as nothing more than a convivial

dub, and this was nearly true. The

men who entered its lodges were

illlterate.bnt honest and determined

Thomas Wildey, their leader, was

not a learned man, but be possessed

all the characteristics of a successful

leader of men. Bat the practices

which obtained in the lodges in the early days of the order have been corrected and the order now is regarded by all unprejudiced persons as one of the greatest moral and benevolent institutions in the land.

It is practically a workingman's

order, and at least tbree-ranrtbs of

- its members are wage-workers, who

conduct its business and perform al

the benevolent duties enjoined.

The death of Major Jonathan W. Gordon occurred at the Grand Hotel, Indianapolis, at 5:30 o'clock

last Wednesday morning, from eon

gestion of the brain, after an illness

of ten days' duration. Its fata

termination was not unexpected

J?or nearly a week he bad been on

eonsciooB, exeept for short intervals of semi-lucidity. On Saturday be became somewhat better, and there

was a slight hope of his recovery

but on Monday night he suffered

relapse, from which he did not re

vive. The end of a busy and event

ful life came almost imperceptibly

for he had not rallied from his on

consciousness for more than twenty

four hours, and had made no de

monstrations of any kind. He was

IWn sn Washington eo., Pa., Aug.

13, 1820, and so was in his 67th year. He was of Scotch-Irish de

scent. Maj.Gordon was a brilliant

orator, though somewhat eccentric.

He made many speeches in Bloom

ineton, and was always listened to

with pleasure by men of ail parties,

Ind. News: The real es ate erase

is spreading all over the country

and in the multitude of booms with

slight foundation many thousands will be rained. Gold mining was never half so entrancing and seductive as dealing in real estate, where

speculation is driving headlong

The air is full of stories of fortunes

made in a few day. But, as in

lotteries, where we always hear who jdraw the !arc prizes while nothing is said of the thousand who have hist, so the wrecks of fortnnes and

.i-ruahf d lives will never be beard ft(. The wise man will beware of the ioonie, and if he buys real estate, either pays cash or has the means provided to pay it ont. But the f Kolit.lt man l-uyn mainly on credit and sometimes mskes a hit, but iowf oftim gets taught and loses p hut lit hu.

O F

ISarly Days.

down

which

There was not a church

in the town. There was a log scBool

bouse back of where the National Hotel

now is, where all the preaching was oeara and bad, and once in a while there was school there.

There were Very lew nooses in tne town

and most of thero log- cabins. There was three or four brick houses. Wm. McCol-

lough had one where W. J. Alien's aaraware store now elands. The house still

standing below the widow Bollenbacher s

and tbe old jail tnai atooa norm oi m

court house, and Jas. olocomD s small

brick house which they still own.

The stumps were green on me puouo

square, lne mt nouse my iainnr uvw in was on the lot Mrs. Lunderman now lhres on a two-story log house with puncheon floors, and 'Squire Kilo lived in a log bouse on the allay just above us.

One evening father had some money ,some silver, and dropped a half dollar that went

through the floor to tne grouna ; ne raiseu a puncheon and felt down for his money

and felt something cold and not riant: so

he told my mother he would get bis money in tha morning when he could see, but

forgot it in tne morning ana auring me day a large rattle snake came from undor tha house, it had 18 rattles and a button.

There was tne neaviwi limner i ar

saw in town, in fact all the way to the

college was heavy timber. I lelt vary much dissatisfied, as a boy, at Bloomington, for yon could hear wolves every night,

howling. 1 nave seen user running through the streets of town many a time. I recollect one day I was riding around town and saw the largest kind of a buck an the let of the Widow Dunn. I got back home as quick as I could and went to old man Armstrong, an old deer hunter, and told him to load bis gun carefully, as

I wanted to kill a deer. Me am so ana x

went back The deer was still there, broadside to me. I got a large tree between me and it, and got within thirty

feet of it Shot and missed it; ana wun the tame gun I could bare knocked the

bead off a squirrel.

The coil around town was very ricnj

the spice bushes were as high as a man's

head on borse back, and pea Tines two or

three test nigh all through the weeds. Cattle kept fat on it. The timber was all green when we arrived in Bloom ineton, and it was a great place far wild animals and snnfcca. I went to camp meeting two

miles west or town, on the place or Alexander Murphy, and recollect I bad a palmetto bat, the first I ever wore. I had intended to stay all night and stayed until 10 or 11 o'clock when Alexander Hose-

berry and bis mother-in-law, Mrs. Fatterson, wanted roe to go to town wits them. I refused at first, but at last consented to

go with them. It was a clear night but

very dark In the woods, l waiaea usiore. All at once I saw something before me.

Its eyes, in the dark woods, looked as

lanre as mv two fists. I slopped and tela

them .there was something before me I did not like, and as I spoke a panther sprang to one side and gave a scream.

Jay palmetto raised to tne top or ray nair,

Kom berry commenced barking like a dog,

and the old lady made a very curious

noise. The panther followed us to town.

My father had at one time thirty head

of sheen. Early one morning the buck

jumped oat and eame home. We went

out and saw twenty-eignt lying around

tha eight acre lot, all with tbeir throats cut and the Mood sucked from them. Another boy and myself took one of the dead

sheep and hung it up and concealed our

selves out no wolf came toat mgut. mt

father one moraine sent me south of town,

on some errand. I got down to the town

line, on a little rise of ground, and happen

ing to look up I saw the largest wolf I think I ever did sea. It was not more than thirty feet from me. We both stop

ped. I had nothing to defend myself with. We looked at eaofa other, I thought a half hour, but it was a very short time.

The wolf got tired and strolled off and I

went on.

I never passed a snake that I didn't kill,

exeept one. I was out at Joseph Wampler's, one Sunday, and going home late

m the evening was riding in a small path when I beard something at my side mak

ing an awful racket. I looked and saw the prettnst snake I ever saw. It was coiled with both head and rattles up, and its spots lookrd like gold. I don't think it could have been put in a bushel measure. I looked around for something to kill it

with but could not and anything to suit me, so I put whip to my horse and left it. That was the largest rattle snake I ever

saw.

I was going out southwest of town one

day and I saw in the road a black snake :

it looked to me to he ten feet long. I got down, bitched my horse and got t stick I thought would do, and gave the snake a

whack and the stiek broke ; then the snake came at me, and I ran up tha road to find

something to kill it with it after me.

neiote l could and anything I had ran about one hundred yards ; then I found a stick and ran the snake back to the place

of starting and killed it.

In the first settling we bad a hard time to get grinding done. My father would send me to the borse mill with a couple of bushels of corn and two horses, and I would hare to wait sometimes two days and a night before my turn would come. It was the hardest kind of a way to get bread, and if we bad a little wheat would

grind It, and have to bolt it by band, so

that we never had good flour.

CHIPS AND SPLINTERS. One of the eight driver engines, No. 67, was at the depot one day last week. The machine looked aa large as a small bouse- Anxious candidates for the office ot County Superintendent are coming to the surface.

Notwithstanding the recent great discoveries of natural gas, Findley, O., holds its own against all rivals. There are now twenty wells in that place, all penetrating,

at a depth of from 1,100 to 1,600 feet, the Trenton limestone, which seems to be nature's gas receiver. From one of these wells the gas issues with a roar that can be heard nine miles, and its light casts a shadow ten miles distant. This well has been discharging for two years and is as strong to-day as ever.

Gullibility. The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of a worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity arid ignorance of an honest public, and the sup-

nl-r of this soecies of work seems more

than an adequate demand. The onunciation of facts facts that have stood crucial tests facts proven by brain foice and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enterprises ; but the execrable practice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self-aggrandisement is truly raprehensible and should be scorned by all classes. When one house tells you that Iodide

of Potash is a poison simply because their onoonents use it. and because they are

nandarinr to vour iirnorance, as they sup

pose, you should look upon all such as arrant frauds and their remedies as un

worthy public confidence, and if those who make such assertions do not know better, they are a set or unenviable ignoramuses. DOCTORS AND HOT SPRINGS. Hot Springs failed entirely to cure me of sevoral tarrib'o indolent running ulcers on my legs, wllh which I have been troubled for suveral years. Several doctors also attempted to cure me but Ruled.
