Mrs; Durand has opened a fancy goods bazar on the West side of the Square, and Mrs. Bowman has her millinery store m the same room. Both these ladies will keep full stock in their lines, including all the latest novelties, and will be es

pecially prepared to supply the

wants of ladies and children.

The .Court room is being thoroughly overhauled. The benches have been removed, and a muchneeded scrubbing given to that part of the house. Everything is newly painted, and when Court meets everything will be brignt, cheerful, clean and sweet-smelling. Boot Strong is- the artist, and Sheriff Farr has a competent corp of renovators.

The new, brick walks on South Walnut street have 1 been ordered put down at the expense of the property holders. It is questionable whether when a walk has once been properly put down it can be ordered taken up by the council and another kind substituted by the property holder. If they can do so once, their is nothing to hinder them from repeating the order as often as they, in their wisdom, choose to do so.

The' Courier office is now moving to-day to rooms- over J. B. Clark's grocery. It is not without regret that we leave the quarters where we haye been located for fifteen years and where we have undergone so many trials and triumphs, but more convenient rooms are a necessity, especially as the publisher is now to give his entire time and attention to newspaper and .painting work. Call and see how nicely we are located. The' boys were having a time down on the "levee" last. Saturday night, when Policeman Beeves and Marshal Owens arrested one of the gang, George Bookman. They locked him in jail, and while Beeves was holding the door of the cage until the lever could be thrown. Bockman gave him a terrible cut in the arm with some kind of a weapon that could not afterwards be found. Officer Beeves was taken before Drs; Maxwell and Harris whofound that one of the Main arteries had been cut, and speedy attention was all that saved him from bleeding to death. Bookman was arranged before the Mayor, Monday, and was bound oyer to jGourt- in r the-frum of $000;-

On the morning of Aug. 11th, a party consisting of Misses Mattie East, EUa Corr and Mr. Charles Springer, Bloom ington; Mr. Jesse Van Wee, of Indianapolis, started on a two day's excursion to the

county home of Mr.- J acjc Bates, a

pleasant ride of 14 miles, returning Monday evening. A pen picture of such a trip, and our entertainment is but a weak attempt at justice. , All had a pleasant time.

A dog belonging to Qua Kruegar bit a. small son of P. B. Martin's and toe animal was promptly killed. Docter Harris and Maxwell cauterized the boy's wound, and thought there was no danger of serious results. The boy's parents, however, were alarmed, and con

cluded to try the Terra Haute

mad-3tone.

ICiliaeUB in the vicinity of Ketchams uipuur Springs are request, ed to meet at the Spring at 9V clock Thursday morning .August 22nd to prepare the grounds and make ail other necessary arrangments for the old Settlers meeting at that place Saturday and Sunday August 24th and 25 th.

Wednesday night at about 12 o'clock the barn belonging to A. L. Jfartin, of Clear Creek, with its entire contents ; 3 horses, a buggy, harness, feed, etc., all belonging to J. P. Stnll to vphom it was rented, was totally -destroyed by fire. It was not discovered nntil the roof had fallen in.

An exchangetells a story of a bo3- who was sent to town with a sack of roasting ears, and after lingering about town all da', came home without selling them. When asked why he had not sold the corn, he said no one had asked him what he had in the sack. Some merchants are like this boy. They have plenty of goods for sale, but fail to tell what thej' have in their sack. If you expect to sell goods in this day and age of the wofd j'ou must open your sack and keep sknutirig the merits of your trade. An exchange hits the nail on the head when it says: "A man in business with out an advertisement in a newspaper is like a grave without a tombstone or a book agent without tongue. Neither one is known, neither one does much all are passed by. Advertising is preach Ingfhe gospel of business to those who buy or those who ought to buy.

Last Thursday noon George Bockman and Harrisan the horse thief broke out. of the county jail. They were confined in the upper story of the cage, and at noon, the Sheriff opened the main door for the purpose of bringing in the dinner. The prisoners, who had previously sawed through the floor, dropped' to the lower cage, the door of which was open,and then escaped through the main. door. Harrison was captured by Sheriff Farr, a shost distance out on the East pike,

but as we go to press Bockman is

still at large.

There is a joke on our genialiOjt treasurer, Doc Bates, that is good enough to tell. A young man" froni the country recently called at his oflice with-an ominous looking bottle and asked Doa to sample its contents. The latter, being 'strictly temperate merely took a sniff, but was urged to take a good pull. He finally complied, and pronounced it water, strongly impregnated with iron. "Well," replied the visitor., "I just wanted to know. We have a spring of that darn stuff, and it has been killing of all our hogs7' Of course Doc wasx considerably

great masses would know nothing of Christianity. So every business will have a little trade anyhow,but unless he advertises tho great body of traders will pass by on the other side, and the fate of business failure may come upon him. The County Board of Education met Wednesday in the Superinten

business transacted was the consideration of the new school book law. The trustees will make out their requisitions in compliance with the law and give the new. books a fair trial. Whatever may be said of the new law and the short comings of the new books there can be no doubt fchatit is a step in the Tight direction and should have a fair and impartial trial by all patrons. The new books will cost only about one-half as much as the old ones and there is ho reason why they can not be brought up to the standard of the books now in use. Much care was taken in the passage of this law and with the co-operation of the patrons it can be made a success. Of course the book monopolies and their heelers; have made a desperate effort to break down the new law and will continue so do so but we believe that this high handed 'monopoly which presses so hard upon the poor people of Indian g has received a black eye that it will carry to its
