James Mo Henry snd several companions, all quarrvman from- Bomana, left town late last night for their homes un der a full cargo of benzine. Ibis morning the remains of McHeory were found scattered along the I. & V. track, oue and one-half miles east ot town, for a distance of 150 yards. Over one hundred pieces of the. man were picked up and brought to town in a box, where tbey await the action of the coroner, The victim was about forty years old and leaves a wife and seven children. It is supposed that the night freight did the bloody work. One door North of the Alley. west side, is J. P. - Tournerdf Co.'s olothingstnre. Be careful to go to the exact locatt hi. On Thursday night "Fielding Manor" will be given by borne talent, at the Opera House, and it is confidently expected that there will be a large audience. lhe names of the persons who will take part in the play have been pub lished heretofore, and they are' a guarantee of its success. Some of the characters in this play are 'said to be very fine, and no one will regret having spent their money- and time upon it. Mr, Shauklin of Spokane Falls, Washington, was the guest of Ben. Adams jr. last week. You must make no mistake when you come to town to buy clothing, on the west side of the square. The headquarters for good clothing, at reasonable prices, is ONE DOOR NORTH OF THE AIXEY, and J. P. Tourncr & Co. is the firm name. Remember if. An exchange, speaking about wiud, says: "Wheu iu Kausas and other western States, iu the spring time, one. can oxfce early and listen 10 the lark till along about eight or niu oVlock, then from that time ou through the rest of the day he can listen to lhe gravclj shoe soles, the Kindlier pieces from the bone yard,and other missiles striking the house with force enough to inn he it apiear unpleasant, ciotally when you look out and ace old bar rels from your neighlor's barn coming across tne prairie racing with the roof. At night the bideout how! or the coyote creates such an uneasiness in your not very peaceful breast, that you are only about half asleep when a mighty roar and a dense smoke indicates the near r.mroach of a prairie tire. and you must gather the good wife's petticoat (or the first thing within reach) and souse it into a tub of watf r and fight fire while the wind gets higher and higher. Next day if your property! not all burned up you will be? asked to sign a subscription paper for some one who was more unfortunate in that respect than yourself." "The Cilisene' Bank" has opJ ened for business- iu Bedford, with A. C. Voris, President, and Joe B. Voris, Cashier, This is the third bank for that town. One of two things is evident! business is overdone in that town, or else there is a vast amount of business in the place. Frank Hunter has gone to Washington City waste be will be married this week, and with bit bride will step in Bloomington for a few days oa his return to Seattle. Sam.

On Wednesday last M. J, Smith left Bloomington for Cedar Lake, where it is his intention to remain several mootbs. He was accompanied by -his family physi cian, Dr. Lpwder. Mr. Smith has been sick all. winter, and hopes by a summer .of out-door life, combined with release from business cares, to build np his general health. Hope to see bim back looking and feeling "himself again." County. Clerk Crayen has a peculiarly satisfactory way. of doing business that gladdens the poor printer's heart, and frequently sup plies bim the- wherewith to purchaser,corh meal' and bacon for his. nine 'needy children.

The man who went from this place to Louisville to receive the I Kocb lymph treatment for consumption (Frank Maritn) died at the home of his father north of Bloomington, on Tuesday morning ot last i week. Martin was about thirty years ".ef sire, and was in tbe last stages of consumption when he was sent to Louisville. Like all those who were very far advanced with the disease,. the treatment was unavailing.' There is no question, however, ; that lymph treatment will arrest consumption in tbe earlier stages, as many have been discharged from hospitals of this country who were evidently cured by the in jection of the lymph. If you need letter-heads, state ments, bill-beads, or envelopes, take them to Harry T. Bolt's job printing office, over Jas. Bobinson's grocery, west side square.

Circuit court is grinding smoothly and satisfactorily. Judge Miers conducts business as though he had always been on tbe bench. By fire the W hisnand-Bran-nam saw-mill, on Bean Blossom creek, north pike, was a total loss. Xbere was no insurance. Mayor Buskirk will lend dignity to tbe office, and will give satisfaction to all those who may have business with his branch of the city government. "Old Jonathan Coburg"- was given in good style last Thursday night, by Harry Howard, his wile, and a company of amateurs. Howard has improved vastly since he appeared last before a Bloomingtuu audience in fact it was bard to believe that in the noisy, meddlesome yankee character was conceal ed the quiet Howard that we know in every day life.

Mr. Worley will remove to tbe Cole stable the stock he had in- the stable on the east side, A number of bidders were here from other points, and the bidding ran up from $1,000 to $2,000 iu a very lew minutes. The stock wits appraised at $2,700 so it will be seen that more than twothirds appraisement was secured. P. S. Mr. Worlev concluded to ran both stables. Mn. Laura Compton and two children, after a pleasant visit to Chas. Mobley and wife, left Bloomington on Thursday for St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Compton is traveling for a Chicago firm that manufactures a tonic preparation of malt. Ue has secured quarters at Wh'te Bear Lake (a pleasure resort some ten miles from St. Paul) for his famijy, and they will remain there this summer. Capt. Mart. Alexander, than whom there is no more competent or accommodating officer in the eounly.is acting house bailiff during the May term of court for Sheriff Farr.

An unascertained amount nfi damage has been done to the grapes, peacnes, strawberries, etc, by the' cold weather of lust week. Ice was formed and the frost was heavy and biting. In the case of Mitchells vs. John Crafton, the plaiutiffs resist ing the legality of leases held by Crafton, Judge Miers has rendered a decision favorable to defendant. A number of other leases are affected by this decision, and it is claim,-. ed that this is. but the beginning of litigation. Jas. Hooper of North Morton street, died ou lbursday morning of last week, after a protracted illness, from paralysis, in his ?2d year. Mr, Hooper was a contracting carpenter, and hia handiwork is to be seen in many houses of this place. He was a quiet, unobtrusive citizen, a consistent and life-long member of tbe M. E. church, and was respected by all who knew him. The funeral occurred on Friday last. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following named per sons since last publication : Isaac li.

This gives Bloomington three licensed saloons, and "holes punched" for several more. The representatives-of -the O. & M. railroad have agreed to meet a committee of the citizens of Bed ford at the present terminus of the O. & M. extension soon (st a date not yet fixed) to consult upon tbe feasibility of extendingbe road further north into the atone fields of Lawrence and Monroe' bounties. There is a present probability that inc vr. cb ra. win gu iu Avwn, which is'but eighteen miles from Bloomington.

For the Progress. Is rvtty at P tea-race t Ed. Progress : I see in one of the other town papers that people who are too poor lo alford the luxury of carriage riding are alluded to as "storehox. loafers," It is a great misfdnoae to ba compelled to become a "storerbosl loefcr," and it is reasonable to sp pose that no man is a store-boa) loafer" from choice. People donof prefer to be poor, Here we again hayethe contemptuous slur of the laciy thrown out at the unlucky the hatred of the rich illustrated for the poor t and it should be resented as vfc oiously and bitterly as it hi given, and should never be forgotten.
