A Mr. Ray,of Polk township, filed suit for a divorce on last Tuesday. But upon second thought he concluded his wife -was not bad after all . and he accordingly withdrew the suit stating that the charges set up in the complaint were each and

The JRochester Sentinel gets off the following slander on one of the promising little towns of Monroe county : Indiana has a small town and postofiice named Dudlej. The citizens ought to plat the town so that the lots would lay in "blocks of five" and-thus make the significance of the name complete and sufficiently comprehensive that our rising generations many readily understand its meaning. On night this week, the "white caps" six in number made their appearance at, the home of Mr. Knight on Bryants Creek, in Washington township and took his wife . Lou Knight from her bed and gave her 19 brutal lashes with switches leaving her body in a 1 asperated condition! Her husband was commanded by the mob to stay in -and he obeyed. Threats had been given by the would-be j ustice dealers

several weeks before their assault. Remember that Charley McPheeters, formerly in the hardware business, is now proprietor of the G reeves corner gracery where he will be. pleased to See bis old, customers, and a host of new ones. . v -rA nice, ' fresh stock of

Some person is going about asking Democrats if they got pay for their votes at the last election, probably trying to get even because some Republicans are likely to be indicted by the federal grand jury. It is the heigh th of impudence to insinuate that a Democrat would sell his vote.

Mr. John Waldron declined to be re-elected President of the First National Bank, a position he has held for years with great credit and ability, and Nat U. Hill was elected to the place.

Take it all through, the company was as good as any that hao ever played heie, and in several respects better. The character of "Cute" was immense, and took the house by storm. Uncle Tom, Marks, Eva, and Legree and the colored singers were especially good. The orchestra was excellent, and the allegory at the close was better than many troupes present. A first-class brass band furnished the street music. The company staid here two nights because they lost a date ahead, and were compelled to lay over.

The 69th anniversary of the

with a few appropriate remarks in

troduced the speaker of the evening, Judge D. D. Banta, who in his inimitable way reviewed the struggles of the early settlers of Indiana in their attemots to establish a col-

ege. Judge Banta has made a

special study of the early history

of Indiana and this wTith his 'own

broad experience makes him author

ity oh questions pertaining to our early history. He spoke of the col-

ege only during the seminary

period and narration of the story

of its early struggles,-tha -Professor," "the buildings," and the "ride and tie e.speriuences," was indeed an interesting history. Dr. Jordan has employed him to write up the University period for the annivers

ary next year.

Dear Sir: I want you to hand his letter to some one living South

Salt Creek. What I want to know is this, was Andy J. Martin married

to the woman that he brought out

to Illinois or has he another wife and has the woman another man. I understand that they came from near the South line of Monroe ccun-

y. You will confer a favor by giv

ing thi3 letter to some one that

cnows and they will confer a favor

by answering the questions I ask.

There are very many bad boys in

Bloomington, and I do not see of

any remedy unless it be to turn

them all over to some revival for cpnvevsiou, regardless of how much we may be opposed to the method,

There are froiioksome boys, there

4re mischievous boys, and there are devilish boys. Wo might get along

it,h the two flfstrmaationcdcl asses,

but the latter are hard to endure. And the worst of them are mostly the sons of men who consider themselves as standing high in the church and community. I don't know of a better place to witness exhibitions of 'these boys' ill-man nrism and devil ishness than about the Postoffice when school is just dismissed, or when the usual crowd

congregates in the Postoflice from

a half to three-quarters of an hour before the 'opening of the mails. The terrible boy is there with the crowd. He is also' on the streets at all out-of-chooi hours with his exhibitions of rowdyism, and bringing down the maledictions of peaceful citizens upon his head. All boys would be , r bad, if ffiven a . ' ri ft 1 0 1 half a chance. I sim complaining of; the boys who seem to be natural-lybad-They are beaten by their parents probably as often as once a day and still they are the worst of boys. Then there are boys who are not naturally bad, but are made so by their associates. Boys have many temptations to make them do things tending to demoralize their habits. Every body knows that a boy takes to smoking as naturally as a "duck takes to water," Nine out of ten of the boj's In Blooming

ton to-day smoke cigars or cigar

ettes. They can buy them at almost anv of the stores. It seems

that for the sake of a few pennies

almosfcany dealer will sell cigars or

cigarettes to boys of aifi age. It is

a good thing that a bill has been introduced in the legislature making it unlawful to sell tobacco in any form to a person under sixteen years of age. Then there are the devilish bean-flipper, and the! toypistol, which put a few -cents into the dealers pocke&s and have gotten many a boy into trouble. The t03rpistol is a murderous weapon; many boys have been killed by them. If the little paper cap. explodes and breaks: the flesh of the hand, lockjaw is ill most sure to fol

low then death, Nine -tenths of

the boys wouldn't be so bad were

not many temptations thrown in

their way, but the other tenth will be bad as long as the earth lasts.

and jail building will go on forever. Of oourse, reader, it is not YOUR boy that is bad it is somebody else's boy.

The citizens of this county,- and particularly the friends of the deceased, will be surprised aud pained to hear of the death of W. B. (Bart) Roseberry, which occurred at Las Vegas, New Mexico, on Thursday of last week. Over three months ago he left here, accompanied; by his wife, for Las Veas in hopes thatthe climate would benefit his health as he was suffering with disease of the lungs. His brother, Nat Roseberry, was located there and the climate had been 04 in uch benefit to him. Bart began to improve immediately after his arrival there, and-wrote a letter for the Coukieb giving an interesting description of the country. He continued to improve until recently when he grew worse aud sank rapidly until he died, as above.The remains were brought here Monday afternoon, accompanied by the widow and Nat Roseberry. The deceased was well known all over the county, he having been a dealer in live stock for a number of years.He was honest and fair in all his dealings and made many friends by his honorable course and courteous ways. At the time of his death he was about 37 years of age. A wife and daughter survive him. The funeral services were hold at the Ghritian church Wednesday afternoon.
