Kilpatrick and Sheriff Adams attended the G. A. R. encampment at Evansvillc last week. They report an interesting session of the "old soldier boys." The city was crowded with insurance adjusters last week, and the game of "cinch was claborated at our leading hotels. Cinch seems to be the traveling man's leading and prominent dissipation now. -The handsome residence of R. C. Greeves, corner of 10th and Walnut street, will be crowded to completion at an early date. It will be a carefully planned and complete structure. A remarkable feature connected with the stone traffic is the fact that the immense business, amounting now to about 30 per

cent, ot the Monon s entire re- Otis Dickerson has boon apceipts, is drawn from the counties p()intcd 1JOgtnuwter at Spencer,

of Lawrence ami Monroe alone. The wafer works contractor, Mr. Clark of New York, came to Bloomington last week. It is his intention, he says, to push the work promptly and rapidly till it is completed and ready for the final test. The "Cataract" fire engine is tc be taken to the Showers factory, prising citizen, Jas. D. Showers. The financial backer of the water works, Mr. Clark, makes some serious charges against his former engineer, Mr. Starr, among others that he drew about $2, 200 from tbe company to pay for material that had already been paid for, and even states that forgery is indicated. A train of 54 flat cars passed through Bloomingtou on Tuesday for the Monon. Many of these "flats" were just out of the carworks at Michigan City. The Monon is making great preparations to handle the stone trade. It is worth taking care of, at $50 per car load. The third provinco of the Phi Kappa Psis, a leading college fraternity, held its annual meeting in this place last week. Included in this province are the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennesseenine chapters in all. There were some thirty delegates. The first session was held on Wednesday morning, and the afternoon was devoted to entertaining the ladies of the various fraternities. At night the gentlemen of all fraternities wore entertained. The entire day Thursday was occupied with business and an 8 o'clock dinner followed. A bold dash for liberty was made by Mike Welch, last ' Wh1nesday morning. Breakfast was being served to the prisoners in the county jail by Everett Adams, and Welch bounded out, knife in hand, knocked Everett down and made good his escape over the rear fence. He was last scon making schedule time in the direction of the railroad yards. Welch had been placed in jail upon failure to give bond on a charge preferred by a half-witted woman for outrageous conduct. A reward of !?100 has been posted for the capture and return of Welch. Ho is a railroad brakeman. It seems that Welch was occupying an upstairs room and so had the run of

It would be better for Monroe county if sho had three or four railroads, instead of depending upon tho road sho has and the one she is about to vote for. Every man who feels that he needs employment should favor the building of railroads. An ordinance was adopted by the city council setting forth sanitary measures within the city. It provides for the inspection of any source likely to communicate disease;; also requires that all school children who have not had smallpox, or have not been vaccinated within seven years, shall be vaccinated, and that unless this is done children will be refused admission , to the public schools. The pity marshal is given power to investigate places reported as in a bad sanitary condition, upon the roquost of two members of the board of health. The friends of the public schools of Bloomington will bo gratified at learning that Miss Margaret McCalla has been elected superintendent and will accept.

Bender of Salt Creek tp. who was at one time an inmate of the asyluni for the insane has again shown evidences of insanity and it is feared will have to be returned to the asylum. The Mathers quarry is now equipped and ready for business except the railroad track. They can go on however with the quarrying Of stone till the matter of the switch is decided. The prospect for a first-class stone quarry is excellent. The graduates from the Ellettsville high school were six in number, as follows: May ne Sharp, Ollie Livingston, Mattie Phipps, Lora Benzil, George Hughes and Mvrtle Billings. During the session of the Phi Psis last week a handsome landsdown cloak, lavender lined with pink the fraternity colors was presented to Allen Van Buskirk by the fraterahy. On behalf of his son Mayor Van Buskirk made a neat speech in accepting this token of regard for His Honor. The Bedford Belt Road Comthnso niinrrieu tha company is building a trestle ninety feet high and nearly eight, hundred feet long.

Stone is now being shipped from Bedford quarries to Cincinnati, Philudeluuia auu i(un luiik xuu iiuub of Ycrk press building is built entirely witn .ueaiord stone, and it is proving a very valuablo advertisement for the oolitic quarries of Indiana.

Recently a couple of men stopped at the farm house of Bernard Lipps and begun to relate the dangers of living in this thunder and lightning country without the protection of rods to draw the "slick stuff" away from the inside of the house.

If it is worse there than it was in Bloomington all day Friday it is hard to understand how the people can do business out there aud keep their clothes on. Another railroad would result in the opening and developing of a score of quarries that can not now be reached by the Monon. This being true, it seems that there would bo no opposition to the proposed I. B. & B. railroad. The sisters of Morton and George Carnthers, Mrs. Marv Dillman and Mrs. Anna Marlay, of Indian Springs, Martin county, are here on a visit.
