StBSOKTrTION, 1.50 PER YEAR. Wii. A. Oabk. Editor and lroprietor. Thk business officr of tub Vftookks isJxow ix the frame nuruMsa Jl'ST WEST OF THK Bt'RXKD BLOCK. The postal note will soon be succeeded ly the postal script, a sheet calling for amounts from one cent to $3. On raiment of one cent, the necessary postage, the amount desired sent will be torn oil the sheet, and, after being indorsed by the sender, is ready for mailing. The Capital National Bank, of Indianapolis, and the Columbia National Bank, of Chicago, closed their doors last week. Both failures are attributed to the suspension of the Chemical National Bank, of Chicago, last week. The private bank of B. B. Robinson & Co., of Wilmington, Del., also failed last week, and was taken in charge by the Sheriff. Ira Graves had a serious attack of neuralgia of the heart, last Sun-day, and is in a very critical condition at present, it is stated. Carothers & Co., the furniture dealers, made the Baptist church choir a present of chairs, one day last week Farmers, if yon wr nt a good Binder and light running Mower call at W. J. ALIJEN'S. Mrs. Mary (Anderson) Cox, after a visit among friends in this place, has returned to her home in Indianapolis. Mr. Thompson, engineer of the I. B. & B., reports prospects for the voting of a subsidy in Marshall and Shawswick tps. of Lawrence county as quite flattering. On Friday last a 3-year old child of Win. Peterson and wife of Benton tp. died. Mr. Peterson is one of our most substantial farmers and best citizens, and his many friends will sympathize with the family in their bereavement. The Sons of Veterans of this place expece to spend the 4th of July at Terre Haute, where there is to be a State Encampment. Our boys will compare with any organization that will be present. Ezra Perring tells the Progress that his nephew who recently c ame in from Oklahoma states "that the wheat prospect is better in Monroe county than any locality through which he passed; The failure of the little fly-by-night banks that occurred last week, will have no effect on legitimate business. They were not banks in the full sense of the word, bat feeders to a big Chicago fake, and had to collapse some time. The base ball reporter for the Telephone says: "There are some people, college graduates, too, who just because they can, impose upon the management. If they don't wish to pat for admission they should stay awayl" Hit 'em again. One of the handsomest pieces of furniture that has been brought to this city is the new soda fountain just placed in position by Far is Bros. Their beautiful business, room will be still more attractive with the new improvements. Don't buy a lot away down In the part of town where the water rises up through the crevices of j'our floors, while you can securo a high and dry lot on ' 'Prospect." These Iota are revelations of beauty, and need only to be seen. S. E. Carmichael has the exclusive agency. You can find him zi, Campbell & Davis' hardware store. The following resolution has been handed to the Progress for publication: ' 'Resolved, that we, the members of the B, P. congregation of Bloomington, Ind., protest against the opening of the World's Fair on the Lord's day, and the selling of intoxicating liquors on the grounds, and pledge ourselves individually and as a ongrcgation to discountenance these evils as far as in our power, even to remaining away as long as ' these evils exist. We make this protest because these evils so dishonor God, and'will surely bring down his judgments upon the nation." The father-in-law of P. K. Ruskirk, Postmaster Hays of Greencastle, spent Sunday in Bloomington with his daughter. On Saturday the second game of ball was played between the Louisville Deppens and the L U. nine. The game was called at 1 p. m. in order to give the visitors an opportunity to go back to Louisville on the i o'clock train. Both teams had changed pitchers, Utter being placed in the box by I. U. The home team played a wonderful game, almost free from errors, and defeated the Louisville team by a score of five to two. There was no catching out as on Friday. Later in the evening it was learned that at Crawfordsvillo the Wabash boys had defeated the DePauw nine, and the I. U. boys had a regular 4th of July celebration over the news. The Milwaukee Binder is the lightest draft and the easiest handled of any machine in the market. Don't buy a Binder or Mower until you have seen the Milwaukee at W. J. ALLEN'S.

Paunc Pexsioks. Wednesday was the fifth and last day of pension payments nt the office of the agency on Maryland street, and all the extra clerks wei-e discharged. During1 the time of payments there have been paid in all 62,61 pensioners, a daily average of 12,323. The total smount of money disbursed in this time wasS2,354,410:St. This beats all former records in this city, and Tension Agent Enslej thinks that it beas that of any other agency in the coui try. There yet remain to be paid 7,3 Y! pensioners, who are persons residing in the far west or wealthy persons who do not need the money and do not take pains to send in their certificates early. The bringing of this amount of money into the State at this time, it is thought, will greatly relieve the money stringency in Indiana and cause an enlivenment of business throughout the State generally. Ind, Journal. A gang of sharpers from Chicago have been working a picture enlarging scheme on the unsuspecting womaa of Indianapolis during the past week. One of them would call at a house and offer a large crayon copy of any photoin. If the scheme worked the woman would be asked to sign a contract to pay the 50 cents in advance. In a few days later the work would be completed and delivered, md the woman would learn that the contract she signed called for 3.50 additional. A number hive, been taken in. Country Banks Involved. Well informed bankers at Indianapolis are of the opinion that the failure of the Columbia National liank, of Chicago, may tarry clown with it twentyfive banks scattered over Northern Ind iana. Zimri D. Wiggins and J. M. Starbuck, the two leading persons in the Columbia Bank, were formerly bankers at Union City and Rensselaer. They went to Chicago and took hold of the old United States liank, changed its name to tins Columbia, and increased the capital stock foom 8500,000 to 81,000,000. Scon after going to Chicago w logins originated a selieine. About fifty banks have been organized on the Wiggins pUn, wnicn, if successful, would have given the Chicr.go concern almost ununited means. According to the statement of Indianapolis bankers whenever the Chicago concern decided to establish a bank it secured the cooperation of local business men in a town, and liad them put in a stated amount ox Mock, the bank taking an equal amount. Instead of the Chicago bank depos .ting their money, they ga ve the local bunk credit in Chicago for the amount of stock subscribed. The list of banks thus started by the Columbia is as follow.;, the capital in m ost eases Deing 52S,ooo: For Indiana State bank of Ambia; State Exchange bank, at Argos; Citizens' State bonk, at Boswell; Union State bank, at Bremen; Commercial bank at Isrookston (co-partnership); Citizens' Si.ate bank; at Cherubuseo; Clay County bank, at Clay City; Bank of Dunkirk (co-partnership); bank of Greenwood, in which an ex-Governor is interested (not incorporated); City bank, of Hebron (not incorporated); Commercial bank, at Lowell (Wiggins s jo.); txmimerciai bank, ot ilacy (not incorporated); bank of Morocco, Keener, Paxton A Co.; Commercial bank, of Mornstown; Pritchard & Co., bank at New Palestine (eo-partnership) ; II. Lightcap's liank, at North Judson (co partnership); Citizens' State bank, at Rochester; Commercial State bank, at Russia ville (incorporated): Commercial bank, at Widkerton (Horatio Nelson): Central Sta ;e bank, at West Lebanoa; People's bank, at Windfall. Besides a number in Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. It was a very nice scheme, the Chicago people giving up only their names while the country fellows paid in their cold cash. A Big Log From Indiana. Special Dispatch. New Yorj, Slay 13. An oak log, remarkable for its size and weight, is lying on the dock at the foot of East Eleventh street. It is the property of George Hagemeyer & Sons. The log was cut on the farm of Uncle Sammy Socgens, tw o and a half miles southeast of Bedford, Ind. It was intended for exhibition s.t the World's Fair, but after felling it the base was found to be rotten, and had to be cut off. This materially lessened the size of the log. It was 40 fe-it long, 03-a feet in diameter at the base, 4 feet on top; weighs 17J tons, and was brought from the West on two flat cars. It will have to be blasted to cut it in two, aa no saw mill in New York can handle a stick more than S8 feet in length. It will be cut up into counter tops. Miss Ella Conley of east 6th street has secured a position in the Orphans' Home at Indianapolis. N. P. Brown built the counter for Faris Bros, soda fountain. He is now engaged in business for himself, with a shop on Mrs. Lucas' lot, nearly opposite Worley's livery stable. While Peter Bowman was holding hi horse, last Thursday, the animal was frightened by the blasting in the waterworks trench on the Avenue, and rearing up struck Bowman on the insido of his right leg with his iron-shod hoof. Bowman has boon couiinod to his room since tho accident. A three weeks' lay off is in sight for t-io chair factory men, while the new dry house is in course of construction, Tho dry house when completed will have a storage capacity of six cars of lumber. Getting better and better equipptsd all the timo at this famous establishment. Severn! persons at a distance have written to Soddy Carmichael, making inquiries about those, Prospect I "ill lots. Thousands of people havj admired "the lay" of the ground, but they never could be bought until now. There is nothing like this addition in any town of Southern Indiana. It is wonderfully Ix-autiful, and bcwilderingly desirable.
Improvements at the lepot. for several years the citizens of Bloomington have felt that the railroad station was not in keeping with the progressive growth of the place, and complaints loud and long have gone up because of the forlorn appearance about our station. Last July Mrs. E. M. Seward addressed the Gen. Supt. by letter asking if something could not be done. She received enough of encouragement to keep up her interest. In August Mrs. Seward was informed that tho old station was soon to have a general overhauling, after which tunc it would be known in what shape tho grounds would bo left, and that she could then draw plans to have some ornamental work done thereon. Many delays and much waiting, many letters and much discussion finally brought things to their present stage. The management have been exceedingly courteous and generous, and each individual of the company has been most gentlemanly in his efforts to do bis part. Mrs. Seward has almost completed her ornamental work, of which every citizen ought to feci proud; and when it is taken into consideration that no freight depot can be made faultless, tho surroundings are the very best that can bo made under the circumstances.
Conductor Lew. Price of tho O. & M. was murdered Saturday for performing his duty, by John Turley, a tough aged about t wenty-three years, who resided at Rivervale, Lawrence co. Ind. The cause, of the shooting was as follows; Turley and his father had been at Mitchell, where the young man had imbibed freely of intoxicants and was considerably under the influence. They boarded the local freight train-to go to their home, at Rivervale. Con ductor Price asked young Turley for his ticket, and Turley presented a pass that had run out. The conductor refused to accept the p:iss as fare. Price then demanded the fare which he also refused. Turley 's father paid the fare, after which conductor Price started to go int.) the private apartment, when Turley pnlled his revolver and emptied two loads, in quick succession into Price's body, the loads taking effect in h's stomach. Price oiod at 7:.'.o o'clock and the remains were taken to Seymour, where his parents reside. Turley was taken to Bedford and placed in jail. This is one of those eases where the tax-payers should not be put to the expense of a trial. Since the above was written news came that a mob left Seymour by the E. & K. railroad on Sunday night, arriving in Bedford at 3 o'clock. Entrance was secured to the jail, Turley was taken out and hung. Brown Cultivators, best in the world at W. J. ALLEN'S. Folk's new canning factory, at Greenwood, will have a third Btory, to bo used exclusively for public purposes. It will beiarger than Tomlinson hall, at Indianapolis, and one of the largest public hai ls in the United States. A number of Philadelphia women have petitioned for a saloon near their homes to save their husbands from tho danger of crossing a railroad track to get their grog. Tho men, it is learned on investigation, cannot be induced to insure their lives, hence the solicitudo upon the part of the good wives. It is a matter of k-busincss. Stoop a little, carry a stick, wear tan or light brown gloves, a white silk scarf tied into a small putt' bow about your throat, with a pear-shaped pearl or a cat's eye with a diamond stuck into the knot, and carry a huge bunch of violets, lilies of the valley or hyacinthe in the lapel of your frock coat.

Cyclone Stories. Minneapolis Tribune. Tlie conscientious reporter of tho Associated Press at St. Louis did quite well when he told of an elevator being blown across the Mississippi river at that point and landed on tho site of a lumber yard, which was in turn transferred to the spot where the elevator
had been. A very creditable cyclone story, indeed, but not equal to one which has floated up from Georgia and runs thus: "An old colored woman in that state owns a large wast pot which she claims was turned inside out by a cyclone. She says the pot is as good as ever only the leg and handles are on the inside now, and pester her when she stirs the clothes." While Joe Manning and a party were "Parkhureting the other nighty Manning as a joke offered to employ a nymph as "housekeeper." He offered to ensrage her for the whole month of March, her compensation to be 1 cent tor the hrst day, 2 cents the eccond day, 4 cents the third day ana so on,dcubung her pay till tho thirty-first. The girl gave Joe a left-handed blessinar" for offorering her such "an insult." A mathematical genius who has figured the problem out, wants to know where Joe Manning would get the $18,956,880:30 his contract would call on him to pay. Los Angeles Porcupine. Officers in Lewiston, Me., started out on a raid and came back with $(!,000 worth of liquors. When it is remembered that Maine is a prohibition State, and that undei its beneficent - statutes there can be no li-juor in Lewiston or any other town within its bounds, the haul seems almost miraculously good. In Russian prison ships each cell has a small tap connected with the boilers, so that in any case of insubordination, or when it is necessary to torture prisoners, scalding steam can be turned on into their cells. A prison ship with these humane appliances was recently bult for the Russian Government on the Clyde. -A greenback mav circulate , , till worn and torn in nieces, then you may send the fragments to the treasury aud get a new bill.

There are more good ideas about its construction than cai be found in any other mower. P robably that's why its sales are so enormous.
