In the slander suit of Butcher vs. Wisely a veidict was rendered for defendant. Ollie Carter went to Chicago the first of last week to take a railroad position. The special verdict in the case of Worley vs. the railroad company covered nine pages of record. Both

Bides submitted a form of verdict,

the plaintiff's attorneys furnishing one printed on a type-writer, while the railroad company's was written

by E. K. Millen. The jury used Millen's form in preference to

the type writer's, for the reason, as they said, that it "was so much

plainer." A good joke on the typewriter. The W. R. C. cordially invite

UNIVERSITY JMEWS ITEMS. Judge Robinson, formerly of Spencer but practicing law in Indianapolis a year or two past, has been appointed to tho position of Journal Clerk in the National House of Representatives. It pays $4,600, and will only require bis presence during sessions. Judge Robinson graduated from Indiana University in 1802, and is a gentleman of great popularity wherever known. Judge R. has tbe voice, manners and sppearanve of Senator Voorbees more than any individual tbe writer has ever seen. Col. Snnford of Iowa, who gsve the first lecture of the term, entitled "Walks in Rome," has engaged tbe ttrt berth in the ocean steamer for next summer's trip to Europe. He bas crossed the Atlantic nineteen times. The Colonel is evidently fond of "feeding the fishes." Or be may not get sea sick. Mr. Chas. Mellette has been chosen literary editor of the Dakota Colk-gion, the jouratil of the State Institution. Both Charlie and his brother Wylie were students of I. V. Prof. Clark has been making arrange'menis (or a class in advanced Anglo-Saxon for next term. It will be a very interesting study for those who have bad some Anglo-Saxon before, especially as among other things, some of tbe old Saxon laws will be read. It would pay any one for his time and trouble if he should obtain a. translation of these old laws, if he did not care to read them in tbe original, and study them a numerous writing. The Shakespeare club held its meeting on last Wednesday evening. The third and fourth acts of Midsummer Night's Dream were read. The play will be finished to morrow evening, and as but one act remains to be read, l'rofessor Clark will read Howell's new farce entitled: 'Four O'clock Tea." The Senior social, on last Thursday evening, has been pronounced by the Senior class an entire success. It was an informal affair, the class meeting simply to become better acquainted, and tbe evening was pleasantly passed with music and conversation. Tbe supper, it is said, was elegant. On last Friday morning the Junior class showed their poor taste by marching into chape, eaoh wearing a dirty white rag aud a yellow one that must have formerly served as the cover for a bam. It is supposed that these bright intellects conceived the idea that the Seniors would be there that morn ing with their colon displayed, and they wished to present an equally fin appearance. We would suggest that next time they first ascertain if their suppositions are correct, and then if they can't afford anything finer than rags, let them apply to tbe Seniorsiand they will pay for something better rather thaa see them disgrace themselves. The Juniors who were going to steal tbe Senior oysters, showed the white feather at the last moment, and after gathering the class together about nine o'clock at night they concluded that they bad better not attempt it, and sneaked off home. The following is a program of the

"University Special" to be held in the College Chapel, Friday evening next :

1. Uborus: "Tho Hold .Fisherman." College Song: 2. Declamation, Miss Ereuger, Prep. Department.

Birknnll. Tbe Choir under the direction ot Mr. Mutz always gives attractive music. Tbe Literary promises to be of unusual merit The College Chorus consists of the following: Soprano Misses Orchard, Vanzandt, Lenionds and Heudrix. Alto Misses Rawles, Dora Lemonds, Manley, Kobinson. Tenor Messrs. Greenstreet, Cornell, Mulz. Basso Messrs. Owen, Mitchell, Ben ham. Pianist A. S. Warthin. At a meeting of the faculty on Friday last, it was decided that the Theses would not be required of the Seniors, although they recommend that each Senior should write one. Indianapolis Journal : An essay en the asteroids recently prepared by Prof. Daniel Kirkwood, of the Indiana State University, is announced from the publishing bouse of J. B. Lippinoott, Philadelphia, for some time the current month. Professor Kirkwood is authority concerning astronomical subjects. Professor Clark will have bis mother and sister as guests during tbe holidays. Miss Clara Childs of tbe Freshman class, is now a Kappa Kappa Gamma. Dr. Jordan and wife took a short trip on last Saturday. The Mathematical and Physical club met Tuesday evening at tbe residence of Professor Naylor. The Philosophic club met on last Monday evening at the home of Professor Bryan. Th subject under discussion was Pantheism, Atheism and Theism. A paper was read by Mr. G. L. Swigget. Dr. Dabnejr examined bis class in Roman History tbe first hour on last Monday morning. Prof. Oslhaus has promised not to give an examination in Sophomore German, The lecture next Sunday afternoa will be upon Louis Agassiz. The lecture on last Sunday afternoon was delivered by the Rev. Augustine Pren tiss of Jeadvi)le, Col., subject: "Science and Revelation." Mr. Golden, class '88, bas been vsry ill during tbe past week. Tbe Senior social proved too much for Friday's Anglo-Saxon lconj therefore Prof. Clark kindly dismissed the class. Frank Hatfield was on the sick list last week. We are glad to see Kirsob, class '88, who has been ill far several weeks, with us again. Mr. Kirsch is a good student and the time lost will be easily made up so that be may graduate with class '88. Professor Woodford 'was out of the citv

on Thursday and Friday last.

Chip Newland of Bedford, class '87, who is now Principal of the Bedford High School, was in the city over Sunday. Jesse Wlnstandley of Bedford, Ind., will probably bo in eplltge here next term. I. U. seldom loses a student and is constantly enrolling new ones. The Musin Grand Concert Company gave an entertainment in tho Chapel on Saturday night that seemed to be entirely satisfactory to the audienoe. Tbe classes in Elocution, as announced by Dr. Jordan, will now be beard from 3 until 4 o'clock in tbe afternoon. Dr. Dabney gave bis cla in Grecian History an examination, tho third, hour on last Thursday. Bert. Feslar was called home last week to attend tbe funeral of his grandfather.

is to attenu a business college niter unrist mas. We shall be sorry to lose him as h is one of our best students. Misses McPheeters and Clark were ab sent several days of last week on account of sickness. A much needed cleaning up was indulged in last week. The Prep, items in the last issue of tbe "Student" are the subject of much favororable comment Mr. Cravens not only possesses the rare tact of dishing up excellent items, but also possesses the hap py ability of making and retaining friends. In O. H. Cravens, Prep, bas a true journalist to plead her cause, and for this reason she delights to honor him. Is the choir under the jurisdiction of tbe authorities ? If so we should like to have order, at least while they are singing the Lord's prayer. Where was the choir Monday morning? Peckenpaugh was called home Friday by a telegram, announcing that his Grandmother was seriously ill. Miss McPheeters will render a declama

The chair factory of S.C.Dodde

& Co. has all the orders it can ship. In fact, Mr. Dodds informs the Progress, that he was compelled to write to bis agent io New York to send no more orders at present, as be now has more than he can fill. These goods are sold at very close figures, and there is but a small profit to the manufacturer, but so long as he can ran steadily and secure that small profit, it means some money for him and steady employment for his men.

The manufacturing business of

Bloomington is in a very healthy condition generally, tbe Progress is informed, m m.. "Say, Fit, old boy, De Brown made an awful slip the other day." "He did, what was it?" .
