Mrs. Betsey Wampler of near Gosport, died and as buried last last week. Mrs. Wampler was a well known and generally respect ed lady of 82 years. The rain, from. Wednesday till Saturday put the roads in fine condition. The farmers were enabled to stay away from town in .conse quence. The opening of s; one quarries in (he viciuity of Smiihvilleis.havinn its effect upon the growth of that town. Additions are being laid off, and houses are being built or contracted for.

Trains arrive on the stroke of the town clock, and none of the aunoying and dangerous delays of former times are now experienced. Pas senger engines are chuuged at the end of each hundred miles' run. and so are in good condition for the next trip. The road also has been receiving a' large number of splendid new locomotives, the equal in build, power and speed ot the machines of any road in the country. I be new Monon is on the up-grade. The tax law provides for the selection of the first county assessors by boards of county commissioners on the first Monday of June (iustead of April), 1891. Obviously county assessors cannot visit and instruct township assessors dunns the months of April and May, 1891, because there will be no county assessors during those months. The township assessors will he obliged to get information about- their duties this year by studying the law, but may properly advise with auditors, county commissioners and county attorneys, so that they mav all be governed by the same con struction of Hip law "THE NOBBIEST LINE OF FOOT WEAR AT ED.

AddresS, Mrs. Fbakk Wobmy, Ellettsville, Ind. Dr. S. R. Humpstonof Smithville died on Friday last after a few days' sickness with pneumonia. The Doctor had been located at Smithyille for a number of years, and wtis a successful and popular practitioner. His death will be sincerely mourned by all who knew him, Washington Gazette: Prof. D. Ecklcy Hunter, for many years superintendent of the Washington schools, is now at the head of the schooki at Glasgow, Ky. His bome is still in Bloomington. Easter services at the various churches were specially interesting. The music at the Catholio church was uncommonly fine, and the decorations, handsome and attractive. The Catholic church teaches that the festival of Easter is a day of great joy to the devout soul. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ, and it guarantees to the good a similar resurrection. The period of Lent by reason of its privations and tribulations has a strong resemblance to our earthly life. Our Easter is made the more happy by the consciousness that we have passed the Lent in fervent prayer and penance. Thus the lent ends in a joyous Easter. So the end of life is made happy by the conscious conviction that we have tried as best we could to keep the commancments or uod and the Church, and to bear resignedly the trials and sorrows which God has i-ermilted to test our love. As we share in the innocence, ludiuesv sud suffering of our Lord, so shall we share iu the glory of Ilw res urrectku.

In the removal of Dr, Jordan from Indiana to California at the close of the college year, Indiana University will sutler a serious loss. By his unassuming manners and grcst natural nbility, the President of this university has demonstrated his fitness, and he hss endeared himself to the young men who are placed under his care. That he may find his new position as desirable as it seems, is the heartfelt wish of the Progress. It is no small compliment that was paid to Indiaua when Senator Stanford came from California' to Bloomington to ask Dr, Jordan to become the President of the most richly endowed university in tbe world. It is reasonable to suppose that Mr. Stanford had the advice of the leading educators of this country as to Dr. Jordan's accomplishments and fitness before the position was offered to him. In this the compliment is doubly emphasized, and while the Progress

congratulates the Doctor, the State and the college to which he belongs have reason to feel proud that they cau furnish such a man when the occasion requires it. While we were having rain in this locality last week there, was a snow, storm in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado tbat exceeded anything of the kind that has visited the west this season. Suow from eight to eighteen inches on a level, with strong winds, and drifts to impede trains, was the rnle. Rain is preferable to snow, and the wool ly west is welcome to the b. s. Henry Gentry's show was in Memphis, Teun., all last week. It is possible that the company will come to Bloomington in May, and they may not come at all. Prof. Earslen was married to Miss Dagget, at her home in Indianapolis, on Tuesday ot last week. They are making their home at the residence of Deputy Postmaster Bates.

Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress of the age, and, io all pro bability, the greatest actress of any age, will play at Indianapolis, Tuesday aud Wednesday evenings, April 14 and lo, presenting Victorean Sardou's two greatest plays, "Fedora" and "La Tosea," with the same cast and scenic accessories as are employed in jncw Xora. The advance sale of scats will be gin on Monday morning, April 6. From present indications the demand will be tbe greatest ever known for an amusement event in that city. When a woman arrives at the unquestionable dhtiuction of being the greatest actress in .the world, there is, naturally enough, a very strong desire to see her, especially when that woman is Bernhardt, who has been mora written and talked abont than any other actress of her day. The company will go there by a special train from Detroit, and go from there to St. Louis. The local manager in in the latter city offered Dickson & : Talbott $1,000 to cancel her engagement here, so that she could play there longer, but the offer was declined, Seats cau be secured in advance for the Bernhardt performances by writing or telegraphing Dickson & Talbott. Reduced railroad rates, lo and from Indiana polis, can be secured by parties of ten or more by applying to the local agent.

At a recent meeting of the Directors of the Monroe County Agricultural Society the question

of premiums for the next Fair- was discussed. Secretary Edmondson snys that the members expressed a determination to have the beat Fair ever held in the county, and m that end will offer premiums of $200 each for pacing and trotting. A purse of 200 was also decided upon for a running race. A special premium of $35 is offered by Pete Dill for a 2-year old pacing race. John Huntington offers a special premium of $15 and Wm. Ueed offers $12 for best colts. Premiums on thoroughbred cattle were also increased. The world will have a chance to compete for a a w premiums in the mechanical department. After a short illness with pneumonia, Mary Foster, who re sided on west Sth street, died on Wednesday night last. Mary was in her sixty-first year at the time of her death, and for many years had lived alone in the house in which she breathed her last, her peculiarities being so marked as to isolate her to a great extent.
