Last Saturday the Republicans held two good meetings, the one in the afternoon being addressed by Hon. D, E. Williamson, and at night by J. A. Beverage, of Illinois. Both were largely attended and certainly accomplished much good for the cause. At night a long torchlight procession paraded the I streets. Mr. Beverage is a young man, but a more gifted and brilliant y speaker has never made a political speech in Bloomington.

Last Tuesday morning the first accident since the beginning of the new university buildings occurred 0 Alex Whitely, one of the work

The strike knocked him to the ground, his head striking a stone and cutting a very severe gash. Mr. Whitely lives at Cambridge City. The marriage of Miss Ella Adkins of this city, to J. Edgar Lynn, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, was solemnized at Indianapolis Oct 2nd, by Rev. John Alabaster, of the Methodist church. ' Miss Ella played it fine on her Bloomington friends

The Republican meeting at the Leonard School house, Thursday night, was one of the largest if not the largest ever held in Van Buren township. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity and many were outside. Morey M. Dunlap and Enoch Fuller delivered very interesting addresses, and were lis

The Democrats here (some of them as good people as ever lived) and Variety tried to muster up a piocession to start to Kirksville. What the result? Almost an entire failure as usual. Wm.
