E. Merrill, of the Louisvi le Courier-JournaL was in the city Monday and gave this office a very pleasant call. He was sent out by the Exposition to invite the people down to see "Indiana day." E. M. Hoppe, of the Paoli 2fews, while attending the Exposition, fell among thieves and was robbed of a 20 watch. Editors heretofore hive not generally been known as carrying watches, and Bro. s oppe has given away a clue that will let many a thief onto a million heir. The Pettersburg Press appeared last week in a new dress and printed on a Prouty Power press the same used by the Telephone. This makes four of these presses put in use in Southern Indiana since our purchase; evidently showing that those who ought to know are pleased with our printing. In justice to Prof. R. H Richardson we desire to state that he paid that delinquent tax last Friday. It has been suggested that perhaps the Professor, noticing that a new and grander university is in the near future, has an eye on a position. Anyhow that tax is paid and we are ready for another article defamatory to our good people and city.

When we get onr artesian water and a large reservoir in the court yard then-our steamer will be pretty well fixed for the next fire. Even this early it seems as though Joseph Cook is gcing to have an immense audience to hear him in college chapel next Thursday evening. His subject, "The Seven Wonders of the W orld," will be full of interest and well worth hearing. The artesian well-diggers are in trouble again. Last Monday morning their sand pump got fastened and they can't get it out; and now they are waiting till another one comes from Chicago, The longer they wait the tighter it gets, and there is a question whether it ever comes out. They are down 1030 feet, going through the following substance: Lime stone, 135 feet. Blue knob stone, 665 feet. Red slate stone, 35 feet. Gray slate stone, 95 feet. Lime stone, course, 10 feet. White lime stone, fine, 20 feet. Bloomington having no hall for entertainments of any kind, our citizens will be pleased to know that the students of the University have taken this matter into their hands and with the proper eucouragement Iiropose to furnish a course of six ectures, among them to be Dr. Joseph Cook, next Thursday evening. This enterprise in the boys is highly commendable and our people will doubtless see to it that they are nothing out of pocket for their responsibility.

When you begin to feel angry, despondent, or ill-natured, begin at once to whistle. Only a light-hearted man can successfully whistle, and the effort to do so will drive away your bad feeling. Last Friday night bids for the city printing were received by the Council, and it remained with Bro. Fe ltus, of the Courier, to do the work at one-half cent per line. Such extravagance is not to be endured. Jas. W. Rogers is here visiting his many friends and relatives in Monroe county. Mr. Rogers went to Oregan in 1845, when he was over five months on the road. Now he comes home in seven days, over the Northern Pacific.

Manufactory. Bedford Magnet: The case of Elizabeth Jones vs The Louisville, New Albany and "hicago, Railway Co., for damages excited considerable interest. The j'ry to try the case was impanneled on last l hursday evening, and the hearing of the evideuce occupied all of Friday, Saturday and Monday. A number of medical witnesses were examined, among themi Dr. Palmer, of Louisville, Dr. McPLeaters, of Bloomington, Dr. Hon, and Dr. Lindley, of Paoli, and Drs. Joseph and H. & Stillson, of this place. All this array of medical talent was certainly enough to appeal an ordinary jury. Mrs. Jones is indeed in a very pitiable condition now, and she and her friends claim that it is due to the injuries she received in the wreck at' White River bridge. The doctors disagreed about the real cause of all her trouble. The result of the trial was a verdict for plaintiff awarding. $4,000 damages. .The case will probably be carried to the Supreme Court.
