Bloomington still maintains its reputation as a town that is a success in the matter of tires. At 12 o'clock Wednesday, two cottages on north Washington street, the property of Mrs. Howe Ryors, were destroyed in a few short moments. The houses were occupied by Silas Durnel and Wesley Crain, and were on tho same lot. Durnal occupied the houso on the northeast corner, and while the family were at dinner smoke begun to fill the room and investigation showed that the entire roof was on fire. There was a stiff breeze from the northeast, and nothing was saved but a bureau and a few chairs; tho house adjoining, occupied by Crain, took fire, and was almost totally destroyed. A barn belonging to Gen. Hunter was near enough to be included in the general ruin, was soon ou lire and burned to the ground. Tho dry weather and tho extreme heat of tho midsummer sun had caused the shingles on the house to cup up and be easily ignited, and the sparks were fought laboriously on all the houses near hy. P. K. Bnskirk's house, the house recently vacated by R. A. Vnnsickle, Mose Kahn's house, and others were in danger, as burning shingles and sparks ignited them several times. Crain saved the bulk of his household goods, while Durnal saved practically nothing. Gen. Hunter had no insurance on his burn, but Mrs. Ryors had each of her houses insured for $400. At Bedford fire broke out in the dry goods store on the north side of the square, Monday night a week, known as the "Golden Rule." The stock was owned by the Rothschilds Bros. Tho fire was discovered at about 10 o'clock by M. F. Dunn and several others, and prompt work extinguished it. Tho fire had been started in the rear or north end of the store, a bundle of pasteboard boxes saturated with coal oil and tied with
j shoe strings was found burning, ! and inflammable matter was dis covered on the shelves inside the room, 'tis said. Tl, f ,! , o.uvi. j.u3 uuji ui (-u.il oil was strona: in the room, and the stock was seriously damaged by smoke and water. A court of inquiry was held next day, and several witnesses testified I.UUL Emanuel Rothschild was seen to run to the cast side of the square before the lire occurred, while other testimony ot a damaging but circumstantial nature was produced. There was $0',000 of insurance on the stock. Emanuel Rothschild was placed under a bond of 5,000 for his appearance at a preliminary trial to bo held Aur. 14th. The grass is parched by tho hot sun till it is brown and easily ignited, and it takes fire quickly from the sparks ejected from locomotive, smoke stacks. Several fires have been started in this way, and on the Bode farm, near the Hunter switch, last week, the grass caught fire from locomotivo sparks and soon spread over tho Worrell farm, Jas. Swearingon's, and Chase's, destroying hay for Mr. Bode and a long string of fence on the farms of the others. There is great danger from fire, and it should be closely watched. The remains of tho wife of J. L. Dowden, who died at Indianapolis, were brought to Bloomington on Wednesday afternoon of last week, and were conveyed to the farm home south of the city, for burial. Mrs, Dowden was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and many sorrowing friends will keenly sympathize with Mr. Dowden in his irreparable loss. John R. East had his coat off and was working like a hero, last week, at the Fair Grounds. Ho was personally superintending tho grading and taking a hand at it himself when necessary. From present indications the association will have a ring to be proud of. Wood Yard is to have a newspaper, in the future. People are just beginning to find out that publishers make vast sums by the sale of old newspapers at 25c. per 100, and many desire t o break into tho business. Miss Nellie Smith of east 4th street gave a parly to a number of young friends last Thursday night. An elegant supper was one of tho crowning features of the evening's entertainment. Rev.

R. will be held in Indianapolis Sept. 1st to Sth.

Five streams are to bo thrown simultaneously to a height of one hundred feet in making the test. Johnny Carson, tho woll known Polk tp. politician, is the happy owner of a pet rattlesnake which is confined in a box. A rattlesnake is a nice pet, and should be carefully guarded from harm tho children shouldn't be permitted to use its tail for a whistle. At tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Denton last Thursday evening a number of normal stu dents were entertained in a pleas ant manner by Miss Dora Morgan. One of the most ridiculous items wo have read recently is the following from tho Bedford Mail: "It is about time the city was furnishing t he lire company with hose reels. The new hose is too heavy for-the meu to carry on their backs." The idea of "men carrying hoso on their backs" catch a Bloomington fireman doing that. It does not seem possible that a city of Bedford's pretensions, with four railroads and a population of t, 000 people has never owned a tiro engine or a hose reel, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Tho city council has passed an ordinance to prevent the accumulation of filth and rubbish, provides for burial permits and reports of death, and prescribes penalties for the violation thereof. Tho ordinance says that it shall bo unlawful for any person to throw or deposit, or to permit any person in his employ, or any member of his family or other person about his premises to throw or deposit any filth, manure, offal, dead animals, vegetable matter, slops, straw, shavings of wood, clippings of metal or leather, paper or! fragments of glassware, queens, j ware, crockery-ware, or any other garbage, or rubbish or sweepings of any kind upon any street or sidewalk, or gutters, lane or alley, or other public place or square of said city, or to permit any such articles to accumulate upon any lot or parcel of ground, or permit the flow into such places of any kind of tilth, or noxious liquids.

Did you try to count the trees that are 'loaded with apples, ' ' in the various orchards you pass while driving through the country f It is wonderful how many you don't see. If you resido in the vicinity of the railroad yards you will find it convenient to attend church or Sunday school in vhat was formerly known as tho brick school house, which has been fitted up for that purpose. Three young bicyclists rolled into the city hurt week from Chicago, having mado the distance in five daj's quite comfortably. They wore Harry Johnson of this place and his friends Burton and Milo Gilson of Chicago. Last week was a bad one for barns. Homer Dowden's barn near Smithvilio was burned entailing a loss of $200, and James Gentry near Stinosville had a barn to go up in smoke at an expense of 8300. , A delay of several hours was caused to tho early train from tho north Tuesday and Wednesday mornings of. last week, owing to tho dangerous condition of a bridge over the Wabash. Ihe night trains are crowded, both ways, now. Tho 7 rate for round trip tickets to Chicago, still prevails on the Motion. A man can take a family of five for 35, and as tho Chicago people entertain all who come at a very reasonable price you may figure tho expense to suit yourself. A favorite recreation with our young bloods at present is a moonlight sail on tho waterworks lake. On the return they make lemonade from the water in tho brick lined reservoir, and are lulled to sleep by the gentle hum of thebuggy wheels as thoy grind over the rockcovcrcd turnpike. From present indications tho now west ide school houso will not be completed be:foro Christman. The slate roof is not on, the floors have not been laid, tho plastering, painting ind glazing are yet to be done---so you see it is too much to accomplish by September.
