The agony is over. Tuesday night ended the" most desperate aeramble'for the city offices of Bloomington ever before Known here. : The contest was the stronger because' a nomination by the Republicans is equiviientto an electron. The polls were open in the three Wards fron 5 to 8 o'clock, p. mM and at 8:30 Mass Convention was held: at the

Court-house, where the votes of all

the Wards were footed up, and the general result declared. The following candidates were declared to be the nominees of the Republican party for the Cit election to be held on the second Tuesday in May : Mayor C. F. Dodds. '

Clerk Robert C. Grteves. Treasurer -Wra. P. Rogers, : Marshal Geo. A. Buskirk. s Assess or Th 03. M assey, ... Conncilmen 1st Wanl. Wm. B. Hughes;- 2d Ward, Wm. N.Showers; 3d Ward, Andrew J. Hoover. fhe nominee for Mayor and for Cott n cilmen in the three Ward are all present incumbent. The ticket is an average one, and it is not likely that the Democrats will make an v opposition to it, hut there may be an independent ticket of some sort in the field; We give below the result of the tote in the Wards, as cast on last Tuesday :

It tried very hard Wednesday.

around Wednesday morning explaining now it ail came about. Thev

The lame, the halt the blind; were

hustled up to the polls to vote. The

poor farm wagon was-on hand early.

George Reeves has made a very

Will P. Rogers should feel highly

flattered by his large vote. He is

one of the best young men in the county, and will fill the. office with

credit.

Dr. Ben McGee finds that politics

is not as profitable as pulling teeth.

Joe Henley exhibited himselt before the Conventions as a fearfnl ex

ample to young men who seek office.

Mr. W. F. Browning made a rousing speech calling on the Republicans

to rally at the poils "on the second

Tuesday in October."

The Court-house is to be painted thia summer. Mrs. Florence H miter has gone to

Next Tuesday night the missionary society ot the U. P. Church will be held at the residence of Rev, W. P.McNary. The Rev. A. B. Chat pie has handed in his resignation as dtftor ot the Baptist Church, subject to tho ap

proval of the congregation.

Shoemaker has a machine for biting the ends off of your cigars, He can also furnish persons' to smoke them if you so desire. There seems to be conaitlerabla dissatisfaction with at least a part of the city ticket nominated by the Repubiicano last Tuesday, and the resuit will probably bean opposition ticket.

The boys of the New York Store wan t to know what it costs to whip an editor. They all went to the National House to seefthat money and trunk, on the 1st of April. The Mendelssohn society advertised their performance to begin at 7:30 o'clock. At that time about one-half of the audience was present,

ani several of the performers did not-

arrive at the hall till near 8 o'clock.

This week We pivblish' another card from "Aunt Eliza" and with that the discussion between her and ''Church Member" must stop. Wo have given both sides a fair hearing and have should tired' a- great deal of abuse over the matter. We find consolation in the fact, however, that a man who publishes a newspaper which pleases everybody is a fool.

The cards arc out for the wedding of Miss Fannie Spicer, daughter of Mr- fcMi'S. Thomas Spicer, to ,Mr, Garrett Swift of Dansvilltv N. Y. The ceremonies will be 'performed by the Rev. J. W. Webb, in the College Avenue M. E. Church, ou next Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Mr Swift is now in the city, the guest of Wm. Tate and family.

Bloom ington has a sensation. In August last a Lawrence county citizen Was robbed of About $100,000 in bonds, cash and jewelry. The thel ves hurried their their treasure in Dunn's woods, near Bloomiugton, and now one of them has giyen the thing away, and search has been instituted for the valuables, a part of which have been found. Brazil Democrat. The invitations for the Swi ft-Spicer wedding wer'prioted at the Conr ier office: Specimens we: e received trom some of -the larger cities, but the Courier did handsomer work than anv ofthem. and at abottt one-lmll the cost. We mention this simply to how the folly of sending away from home for printing when it can be done just fis well and as cheap here. This will apply to other kinds of work as well as invitations;

A student named Dan Reese, from lerre Haute, had his pockets picked of a fine watch while attending the wedding at the M. E. Churchy last Wednesday night. Mr. Dan Stout presented a claim to Trustee Adams for a number of sheep Mr. Stout claims were killed by dogs. Mr. Adams refused -to allow the claim, for reasons best known to himself.

Mi 68 Noija Farmer was married to Rudolph Pa;aley, at the M. E; t hurch on Thursday night, Rev. J. W. Webb officiating. The Courier wishes the young couple many years of happiness. ' Manha Parharo, who is charged wi t h in fan tlcide, is sti 1 1! con fined to her home, in Indian Creek township, guarded by a Constable. It is said that she has expressed a willingness to go to the female reformatory at Indianapolis, and if the matter is push

ed she will probably plead guilty and be Bent there. The sympathy of the people in the Community is growing in her favor. Her father is nearly prostrated with grief, and5 fears are en tertained that tlie sad affair is- affecting his mind. The pavement on the South aide of tlie square, from the bank to the alley, is in a very bad condition, and has been so tor many months. Pedes trains go into the street rather than walk over it.

Jf:usltirk'i lniefeuV Bill.

The Indianapolis Journal gave what was purported to be a report of the proceedings of the legislature when Buskirk's interest bill came up for its final passage. When the vote was about to be taken, a number of members left the hail to dodge voting on the bill. Mr. Buskirk uioved thai? the'-Scrgeant-at-anns be sent for the absentees, and the Speaker ruled the motion was out of order while a roll call was pending. In the Journal's repoit the Speaker sa3Ts, "It is not the' speaker's business to furnish brains for members of the Hbuac." Mr, Busk irk's reply to this the Journal omitted. He said; "It is the opinion nf the gentlemen in this part of tho House that the Speaker has no- brains' lo spare." This brought down the house, and made the speaker look quite sheepish. It is admitted by Mr. Buskirk's constituents here, at his home, that he has made a valuable representative, and has accomplished much good. Certainly none could have done better, and many nof'neai so well. We have heard Mr. Bu shirk's efficiency highly commended by many ol the most prominent Republicans of the cdunty. The vigorous manner in which he' pushed his interest bill terrorized the money dealers who had a powerful lfjbby present, and, uo doubt, p'enty of money to disburse for votes against the bill. But' Mt. Buskirk is not to be bullied- or bought'

Tlie 2tXciidelftisoliiif Liitt'rliiiniii ciit, There was a very large audience present to hear the Mendclssohu Society in liuth the Gleaner," on Friday night of last week. The music of this drama is of the highest order j and undertaking its performance the Society demonstrated its ability to successfully master the most difficult musical works. Ruth is of a class of musical dramas that ia not calculated to be popular with an average audience, Tho story is ifamil' iar with bible readers, but the grandnessol: the music cannot be fully understood or appreciated by those uncultivated in musical art. The presentation of Ruth oh this occasion was a success. The solos were very fine, the chbrus strong and well drilled, and the orchestral part grand. Mis. O B. Clark made her first appearance in the char acter of Naomi. The part could not have buen better cast, Mrs. (J. has a clear, rich voice, and her words were distinctly spoken, something very unusual for a singer in public. Mrs. A. R. Oowe as Ruth sang as sweetly as ever. She is a favorite with the patrons of the society, and does well ia any part she undertakes. It was the first time that Mr. Charles Tourner was-east for a prominent pari. He gave the audience a genuine surprise, in the way of some line sings ng in the character of Hassan. At times ,his voice reminded one of the la

mented Carry Henderson. Mr. Tourner is certainly a fine singer, and only lacks a3ittle stage training to make him a gobd actor. The other solo characterB-16 in all were well rendered by old favorites, but space forbids further special mention. Ruth was composed by Mr. J. A. Bulitterfield and is copyrighted. Mrs. Taylor, the directress

of the Mendelssohn Society,' being

an acquaintance of the gentleman, succeeded in gaining his permission for two performances, of the drama in Bloom ington. The second and last performance will be given -early in June.

When asked to subscribe for their home paper, people say, well, there is nothing much in it, and I can get more reading matter in an eastern paper- Did it ever occur to the reader that it was much more important to know what was going on. in our own town and county than in Pndiaa.ft or in New York:? Your1 town paper gives the very news you ought to knosy that you are most interested in. All your local affairs and the news ot your neighborhood ajfe set forth in its columns. In hundreds of ways a paper benefits a town. Without it the people of the outside world do not know there is such a town. Every family should take their home paper, and every business man should have an advertisement in its" columns. Show us a man that takes his home paper and we1' will show you n man that it is well posted in local affairs, and knows what is going on around him. The local press is the power that moves the people. Therefore support it by advertising liberally, subscribing1 for it, paying for it.
