Lem am'b Muiifaniu A a ttiara la nn wfiv of knowing how many dogs were bitten previously, considerable ner vousness is manifested among the people of the neighborhood. . In the southern counties wheal threshing is in progress.and the . fear that the Krain.oticnuseor poor ntnug out. would not yield according to the out ward appearance of the beads, has proved groundless, it l be lieved that Gibson county slouej will produce three million bushels of wheat, and that Knox -county V yield per acre will equal or : exceed that of Gibon. An estimate made with rare places the yield in Car roll county at twenty-five bushels per acre, and hi other counties in the nortbcentral part of the State, at a figure almost as high, Indianapolis News.

Don't forget the "Corner" when you are in search of really desirable goods in the clothing and gents' turnishing Jines. ibey get the latest styles promptly by ex press as soon as tbey are out, so that it don't cost you any- more at the "Corner" for garments that are in style than it would cost vou somewhere else for something en tirely out of date.

Capt. Nuokols baa ap pointed the followiog named non commissioned officers: SergeantsJohn Harris, .Boilenbacher, Grimes and Butehcr. Corporals Neeld, Axtell, Lanmsn, and Otto Roft. And now the company is notified that only tbe commissioned and non-commissioned officers will be given transportation to tbe en campment at Ft Wayne, which begins ou the 20th. This is a great disappointment to tbe members ot the company who have been drilling industriously for some time, witn the prospect ot making a creditable appearance at Ft, Wayne, and a feeling of indignation pervades tbe entire company, ' The privates nave inaugurated a move ment to send Judge Miers to see the Adjutant General about tbe matter, and make an effort to have this order revoked. Inasmuch as tbe boys have been loo', -ag for ward to tbe encampment aa an oasis in tne desert ot drill-room life, it is certainly unjust to deprive them of an opportunity to attend the encampment. P. S, Lieut. Louden, Captain Howe and Judge Miers went to In dianapolis Saturday, to intercede with the Adit. General. . That of ficer promised to modify his order, if it were possible to have the suits made on in time. The probability is, however, that suits will not be made up in time for the encampment, and that the "high privates in tue reap rank" wiil get Qlmrjpo many friends and admirers af (hat admirable local oreani.i! xl.

A 2 o'clock Thursday morning

an alarm, pf, fire aroused onrcitiitens, and an investigation HhoweilJht a fire was ia progress' in the cellar of the buildjog on the west side, of tbe square occupied by M.eorge Norman as a drug store. Closer investigation showed -that smoke was issuing from a rear np-stairs room in which wall paper is stored. Several small windows are located; ia (he basement on tbe alley running east and west, and one of these had evidently been forced out and fire tossed into an open barrel of rosin that atood some ten feet wa,y. At tbe west end of the structure steps led to that portion of the build ing used as a store-room lor wait .. . ' . . paper. A pane ot glass naa peeu knocked out here, it is surmised, and fire introduced, so that nre was burning in the basement and on a level wiih the main floor at that same time. The tire company did some very effective worn, ana without knowing certainly, whether, there might not be explosives of some chftraote r in the cellar, car ried thmr hose into close quarters and made' a fight that subdued, the flames. The joists and floor are charred and so injured that there ia little doubt that a new floor will have to be laid, and the , beat was so great . that . the varnish in tbe store room is blistered and the plate glaes fronts are cracked. Tbe buildiug is owned by Peter Bowman, who with Mr. Bluitt, had gone to Ubicugo to purcnase a stock of drugs, as he intended to go into the room as soon as Mr. Norman's lease should expire, which is on the 18th. Tbe stock was insured for 4,000, and tbe building bad 2,000 on it. It is impossible to make a reasopnide guess as to the loss on stock, until the adjusters get through with their. work, but tbe insurance is believed to he ample. The entire block, the best one in the city, was en dangered by this attempt upon the part of some one. and there is no doubt that these buildings would have beeq swept away had not the firemen worked as. hey d.id,. Almost every one is familiar, with, of bas beard of the "Cole" farm, west of Bloomington. This is one of the most noted and . valuable pieces of. farm property in the ronniv. and one that any farmer or stock raiser would think himself lucky to own. It will be sold at administrators' sale, JoJy 24th, on the premises, and the terms are very favorable. Altogether there are some 500 acres, ana there are plenty of out buildings to carry on the farming business successfully. Nat, U. Hill ia the resident administrator, and he will cheerfully supply any information required. Mr. Spaugler left Blooming ton Saturday on his way to New York, from which point be sails for Europe- There will be b.ut four persons included in the .party, Mr. Jesse Gaiioway and .wife of Elleltsville were in the city last week.

He has been assigned tbe duty of arranging the work on orthography and reading. Married, at Spencer. June 6th, Grant,Bailey and Mrs. Pearl Wallheiser. Tbey will make their home in Bedford. Misses Ella and Liasie Young of Salem, are visiting friends in this city. New wheat is coming in freeV and Is selling at 80a. The grain is unusually large, plump and heavy, Elder Alford is now located at Worthington, to whiob town hia family will soon remove.' A gang of ''hoss swappers" now camp on Rocky Branch, north turnpike. They have 25 animals, and during the day occupy about onehalf of the hitching rack or the .west side of tbe square. The National Electric Co. of EuClaire, Wis., will supply the in candescent lights for this city, 'tis said. Notwithstanding the fact that the 4th of July was a clear day, rain descended by panfuls in tbe alley between Rhorer's and Mobley's atores, and several young gentlemen who were exhibiting a horse 20 feet (hands) high, were drenched. There waa something very mysterious about this, so oam. Bolieuba'cher thinks. It is probable that one of the attractions of the Monroe Co. Fair will be a balloon ascension by Mrs. Love. - Mrs. Braxtxn is at Spertcer,this week. . Wm. T. Breedeu and wife took their little daughter Edith to Fort Wayne, on Sunday last, fur medjr cat treatment.
