Henry Axtell is sick, and confir.oi to his room with an attack of tonsilitis. Mrs. J. W. Cravens is quite sick with pleurisy.

The pay of street laborers will be reduced to $1.25 a day and teams to 2.75. While unusually warm and pleasant weather is prevailing on this side of the ocean, they arc having it cold enough in Europe. At Paris the weather is marked "intensely cold," and "all the hills around the Bay of Naples are enveloped in snow."

Bank, does the best work in town, and for tho least money. Cravens Brothers. Have you seen the display of China at Hemp. Wilson's i Well it is certainly something worth a visit.

"The Review of Reviews" is a magazine of novel character, and one that in its conception is purely American. Within its pages may be found the best literature that the country affords, and its writers comprise the leading' minds of this and other countries. This magazine undertakes to present to its readers the cream of tho articles in the leading1 publications of the world, for it is not confined to the United States. It is the best and only medium through which the busy man can keep abreast with magazine and review literature. "The Leading Articles of the Month," and the "Contents of Reviews and Magazines," will alone compensate any one. Each volume is complete in itself, and is a guide to current literature, as well as a portrait gallery of notable men. Write to 13 Astor Place. New York. WRSHlNGTON, . c.

Clark and wife of Crawfordsvillo came down to Bloomington Sunday evening. The McGee room, which was occupied by Ades Bros., is now vacant. Rev. J. B. Hamilton and wife arc both seriously sick with lagrippe. Chas. H. Mcriieeters and wife are also sick. Mrs. Clark of south Walnut street died on Sunday night, after an illness of three days with pneu monia. The business depression has oven affected the saloon business, fon while the same old bums and loafers still hang around, the paying customers arc becoming fewer. The law school and music departments are no longer a part of DePauw college, and matters are not as prosperous as they ought to be. It is too close to I. U. J. B. Faris, Miss Jennie Eving and T. N.

State Bank held its second annual election of directors, and H. E. Wells, James Andrews, Win. Hughes, W. A. Fulwider and Dr. Rhorer were chosen. The officers were re-elected.

Dodds received a dispatch from Newell Sanders, Chattanooga, Tenn., stating that his 7 -year old daughter, "Dot," had been burned so seriously that death was probable. It was afterwards learned that tho child' sufferings had ended with death, and on Thursday evening Clelhuid F. Dodds and wife left for Chattanooga to attend the funeral. Meagre information had been received up to that date as to the cause of the accident, but it seems that the child's clothing caught lire while playing with an imitation furnace iin the yard of its parents' residence. Mrs. Sandeis is a daughter of C. F. Dodds and wife. A 17-year old son of Mr. Sanders was drowned a year or so ago while on a pleasure excursion with some of his young friends.

Hoadley Bros, of Gosport have invented a weighing and calculating machine that is a wonder in its way. It was patented in 1889, and they have sold but four of them as they make no effort in that line. There is but one in town, and that one is in Hancock's meat shop. Just how a man can work up as much nicety in figures as is shown in this invention is hard to understand. It ought to be taken up by an eastern linn and the sale pushed, as there would be money to the ingenious inventor in a royalty on this machine. Sylvester Hoadley, we understand, is the master mind in the invention. The annual reunion of Capt. Hughes' Co. E, 117th Ind. Vol., was held in tho G. A. R. hall Saturday, Dec. 31.
