And now the small boy can run wiid until school begins again next September. Will Cleaver and Orrie Allison went over to Bloomington in

a boggy last Sunday, and we conclude there must be strong attraction when they cheerfully make such trips through rain and mud. Spencer Democrat If the old saving is true about rain ha vng any effect on the crop of corn and Democrats, we cer

Some boys or young men have been tampering with the telephoneline running from the public spuare to the college.

Plays Havoc in "Washington Township, A sample ot the cyclones that have been dealing death and destruction throughout the Western States struck the Northern part of Monroe county last Sunday. The Courier's correspondent at Hindostan sends 'the following account of the ravages of the storm in that locality:

About 4 o'clock, May 27th, this township was visited by one of the most severe storms ever

known in this locality, except

the hurricane of about fifty years

ago. Traces of that hurricane

mav vet be seen on what is

known "as "schedule ridge.' Large, mounds of earth and remains of trees show where the gigantic poplar and oak once stood. During the storm of last Monday, C. G. Corr's farm house was nearly unrooted, badly damaging the upper rooms. T. Gillaspie's house was moved twelve feet off the foundation, while the

rear part, inside and out, is a to

tal wreck. Every out house on

the premises was also totally de

molished. The tall pine tree in

Hindostan, beneath whose

branches the political parties for

twelve years past have discussed the issues of the campaigns, and which was a landmark to the traveler, was blown down, the top taken off and carried by

the storm, nearly to Noah Payne's

saloon. B. A. Knight says his

damages will amount to $300.

The roof of the room his family

occupied was blown off to the square, and they are now virtual

ly out of doors. Timber, orchards and fencing are a wreck for mile?.

The top of N. Gaskm's new

house was carried fifty yards away. Two other houses are

said to have been blown down. Knight says he opened his South door and saw the cyclone approaching his farm, through the timber, from the Southwest, and

he thought he saw death in it.

From his description, the timber

fell like grass betore the scythe

of the mower.

Ice cream church festivals in

Iowa have given away to "hug

out financially 200 per cent.

ahead of ice cream. The Leon (Iowa) Journal says: Hugging parties for the benefit of the churches are all the rage in some of the counties in this State. The prices range as follows: girls under 16 twentyfive cents for each hug of two minutes; from 16 to 20 years of age, fifty cents; from 20 to 25, seventy-five cents; another man's wife, one dollar; widows according to looks, from ten cents to two dollsrs; old maids, three cents each, or two for one nickle, and not any limit of time. Ministers are not chaiged. editors pay in advertising, but are not allowed to participate until everybody else is through. We are in favor of getting up a festival of that kind in Bloomington, but we want the editors to have a fair chance with the others. imf mm The daily papers of Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, and many weekly newspapers of the State, have recently published highly sensational articles, alledging that a young lady named Ida Shook, of Ellettsville, recently ran away to meet a member of the Wilbcrforce Concert Company with whom she became" acquainted -when the troupe sang in Ellettsville some time ago. Mr. Shook the father of the y uag iady, says that these statements are defamatory, and he proposes to mak it hot for the autfenv He was her last week consulting: an attorney.

Tuesday noon was the time set for receiving flowers for the decoration of the soldiers graves.

It was a very pretty sight to

see the children flocking to the

Court-house with flowers, while

others had, perhaps, nothing but a simple rose. In the latter

cases, the children were jjist ai

enthusiastic as those who brought

large boquets. They had the

will, but the flowers were not at

their command. Yet they were

determined to contribute their

might, even if it was nothing but a rose-bud, or a sprig of evergreen. The pround faces of the

young donors were a sight to look upon and to impress one that

it was a good idea to inclucate in the young minds the duty they owe to the dead heroes. Those who thought there would be no flowers for decoration . day should have been the handsome display on the Court-houses tables. It was handsome enough for the floral hall of a fair. The continuous rains seemed

to dampen the ardor of those who

are usually foremost in celebrating decoration day. To the school children, and a few ladies and gentlemen, the credit be

longs for having any celebration

at all. Yet, had the day been a

fair one, the ceremonies would

have been a success. But in spite of the threatning weather the procession formed about 10 o'clock in the morning and marched to the cemetery. Upon arriving at the cemetery the

rain began to come down, but

the programme arranged for the occasion was gone through with. The Rev. J. E. Brant was the orator, and his address was of sufficient interest to hold his audience, standing in the rain, and many of them without shelter of any kind. The choir was organized only that morning, but rendered several appropriate pieces exceedingly well. W. W. Wicks read the roll of honor and it was listened to with interest. It is a pity that the roll of the dead " soldiers is not a complete one, as many names of Monroe county's dead soldiers are omitted. Those who can do so, should see that missing names are supplied. About one hundred handsome wreaths of flowers and evergreens, and a lot of boquets and cut flowers were placed upon the graves as the closing exercise. Martial music was furnished for the occasion by T. E. Matthews, Howard Turner, Ed. Collin and Dick Nicholson.

John Matthews, senior proprietor of the Ellettsville stone

works, died on last Sunday

morning, at his residence near

Ellettsville, of dropsy. His funeral was held on Tuesday morn

ing and was largely attended by

his friends and neighbor., who were best acquainted with his long life of integrity and usefullness. Mr. Matthews was a native of England, and came to this county when quite a young man. By earnest industy he built a large business, and at the time of his death his own substantial home was surrounded by the homes of his sons, and probably the largest steam stone works in Indiana. He was a member of the Baptist Church, and it will be remembered, took much interest in and contributed liberally toward building the present Baptist Church in Bloomington, as well as giving material aid to churches of the same denomination elsewhere. He leaves grQjvn sons who have long been active in the management of the stone business, and to them

is now allotted the' duty of continuing the work which has been so prosperously established. At the time of his death, the deceased was 78 years of age.

On Tuesday a number of boys were at the L'ftV. depot, "playing train" with some empty cars which stood on the side track. They would uncouple a car and run it down the track a short distance, and then detach another and run it down to make a coupling. While attempting to perform this feat Johnny, a

son of Til. Hampton, about twelve

years of age, was caught between the bumpers and almost instantly killed, his ribs being broken and driven into his lungs.. Jle said to the boys "Take me home," and walked to the depot platform where he expired m a few seconds. Gosport Item.
