The Indianapolis Journal says the new Indiana school law is practically inoperative in that it does not require local sohool boards to adopt the new books nor provide any means of putting them in the hands of the people. School boards, teachers and people may continue

to use old books, if they choose to)

do so, and no doubt many will.

It is estimated that the new law reducing the rate of interest on the school fund from 8 to 6 per cent, will shorten the schools of Indiana about on half month. In many counties the full amount of the legal tax levy, 25 cents on the $100, has long been collected, and there will be no possible method of count-

aiancing the shortening of terms

caused by the reduction in interest except by lowering the wages paid and consequently impairing the efficiency of the schools. In Hen-

Said a gentleman who visits this town frequently : "Bioominglon has improved wonderfully within the last ten 3-ears; it seems to me that it has doubled in population." The gentleman is about right. Those iiviur here cannot notice the improveraents like one who goes away for some time and returns. In fact, there are plenty of citizens who never go away who would be surprised if they would take a ride all over the city and see the improvements that are being made in every

Dr. Simpson, how is the Board of Pension Examiners getting along? Not doing much now, probably on

account; of a change in the adiniuU-!

tration. 1 he members of the Board are not appointed for any specified time, and the Commissioner may reorganize the boards at any time. It will take a good while to go around, and they may not reach this one for some time. When the' do, chere will be only one change to make-r-a Republican for a Democrat. Dr. Simpson didn't any so, but we guess the new Board will be Doctors Bryan, Whit ted and Harris. What are you stone men doing asked the Coubiek of a Big Creek stone quarry man the other day. 1 see it is getting to be the fashionable thing to invest in Stinesviile stone stock added the reporter. The reply was : The Pennsylvania Railway Compan' are condemning land to build a road from Gosport to the Stinesviile quarries, but I don't believe they will stop there. The road will eventually go on to EUettsville, thence to Bl.oomington, and, probably, in time., to the Bedford stone fields. If we do get the road to Bioomingtoja it will not only develope all the principal stone fields of the county, but it will be a good thing in the way of shipping and receiving other frieght, and for passenger traffic. By suh a route we could go to Indianapolis in the morning, get there by 10 o'clock,

stay till i o'clock and get home in 1

time for supper. At at all events, the stone business at Stinesviile is sure to boom. We have the best stone in the world there. You know the State Soldiers' Monument is to bo built of that stone.

The remedy is simple. It is only necessary to smoke such a wound or any wound or bruise that is inflamed, with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of the worst ease of inflammation we ever saw arising from a wound."

It seems that surprise parties were the order of the day last week and John D. Morgans was a victim whom our reporter missed. It was John's 46th birthday, and the affair was concocted by Mrs, Morgan and her sister, Mrs. Hodges. The feature of the evening was a gold-headed cane presentation, Mr. Morgan being the recipient and Mr. R. A. Fulk the spokesman. It was a highly enjoyable evening for all participants, particularly Mr. and Mrs . M o rgan .

Several Ikftfor dealers of Bloomington applied to the commissioners to have their licenses renewed, last week, and were refused by the commissioners because they could not prove themselves to be men of "good moral characters."

is now, the teams must stand in vacant lot3 or on the streets, where they are open to the intrusion of all kinds of stock, which at times destroy more feed for the farmer than his trading will amount to. Then the horses arc liable to break their halters and escape, leaving the owner in a very bad fix.
