Farmers in both the different

t " parts of this county report a curious fatal disease among cattle. They fcT" it "Turnover," because the stock, ien attacked, grow dizzy, comnce whirling around, and continue ;til the disease passes away or the

imal dies. The animal is blind, comes stiff in the legs, has diarrjios and refuses to eafc The disease sts eight or ten days. Attention is called to the card concerning Faris Bros. Like many ther of our business men they pre-

xt uub vu pay out money wnere it wrings no return, and when they have otwtising to do put it wheie it will e read; no- are they to be frightened y the soured stomach of a neglect1 and forgotten old fossil. Because people refuse to patronize this defunct institution is neither high yerime nor misdemeanor.

The cold wave came at last, and

with interest. Friday morning a telegram was received from the Weather Bureau, that within the next 32 hours the thermometer would fall from 20 to 25 degrees. By.noonitwas snowing hard and continued until next morning, the thermometer' marking 1 1 below zero at 9 o'clock, the wind blowing bard. It was so cold that there was little or no business done in town,

ncooajr coming in unless it was an absolute necessity.

An alarm of fire was started Sunday night by the burning out of a chimney at the residence of . R. A. Foster, on east 3rd street. The alatra was stopped, however, before the company was called out. The Western Christian Advovntty the Methodist paper of which Dr. j. Hight is an editor, has been changed from the large folding sheet to the half magazine size, now becoming

no common with weekly periodicals.

Friday night the audience at the Bloomington City Opera House, pn Kirk wood Auenue, came near being smoked out. A fierce gale was blowing and the coal stovd belched out smoke among the aristocrats of the dress circle like a locomotive engine on the up. grade. To rid the room of smoke the windows were pulled down, turning the institution into a freezing factory. Wash. Musser, living near Smithville, is also after the famous Merger fortune of New York, arid is going to attempt to prove that the name Musser is originally from Merser, and that he is a direct descendant of the New York man. He has env ployed Rogers & Henley to look after his interests. This Merser estate is worth several millions and comes about by the ending of a 90 years lease of property in the heart of New York City, in that time it having been built up and claimed by the most wealthy men of the place. There seems to be no doubt about the reality of the estate as described above but it will be a few days before the money is distributed betwe en the several generati ons of heirs.

The latest swindler is the man who goes around distributing Bibles free. He happens around about meal time, presents the family with a nice Bible, and is generally asked to remain for dinner oi supper. After partaking of the same he tenders pay for it, remarking as he does so, that his orders from the house for which he is traveling are to "pay as he goes," at the same time pulling out a receipt book and requesting the man to sign his name to show that he has received a Bible and the money for the agent's lodging, which in a few weeks turns up at some bank in the form of a note for several dollars and about that time it dawns on the victim that he has been swindled.

" The house of Mrs. Keath. located on the other side of Cross Roads church, between that and White Hall, was totally destroyed by fire Sunday morning. Mrs. Keath was at home at the time and knew nothing of the tire until the house was all in flames. The loss is $400 or more, as the house vas entirely new. The Grand Army play was more of a success as an entertainment than financially. The extreme cold weather and the impossibility of making the hall comfortable kept many away who were anxious to att end . Th e gross recei pts w ere over $130, of which l N. Wilson received $50 lorhis part. The Post will clear very little, though the' have the pleasure of ki owing that they have given our people a good entertainment that has been highly appreciated. The Indianapolis Xer contains the following concerning Mrs? Jas Mitchell, a former resident ami well known here: "Mrs. Jamer. L. Mitchell, a lady whq for twelve Ions vears has been a patient sufferer from disease, has in that time done very much to relieve the sufferings of others caused by poverty and misfortune, and has always been actively interested in any benevolent or charitable plans that are suggested. She is now engaged in putting into practical shape a long cherished plan of collecting and saving for charitable purposes the tips of cigars, which are now thrown away by smokers, and which, if properly preserved and worked up into snuff or smoking tobacco, would be worth hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollars a year in Indianapolis alone. M!Mitchell got her idea from Germany, where there; are Iargd orphan asylums built ami supported from the sale of the cigar tips, and she hopes to be able to establish the system here, so that considerable money can be realized for the benefit of the poor, and possibly, in the course K)f time, a home for indigent old women, a much needed institution, can be built. Boxes are now being placed in hotels, restaurant, cigar stores and eren saloons, and they bear the inscription, "Save the tips for charity." One cigar dealer calculates that if one-half the cigar tips cut or bitten off every year were saved and sold, they would bring at least $2,500 a year. Mrs. Mitchell keeps the name and address of every person who uses one of these small boxes, and alludes to him as "one of our society." Last Friday night witnessed a dividing line in our local Democracy that is painful. It was not at all in accordance with the spirit of St. Jackson's day, that they so vehemently celebrate. It was arranged that the 'iide element, Feltus, John East, etal., meet in the East office, and it becoming known that the old Bourbon, mud-road Democrats from awaj? back were to be slighted, they prepared to celebrate in the grand jury room. The dudes met as per arrangements nd so did the Bourbons one to sit down to a feast of pigs-feet and cold water, the latter to pigs-feet with old peach and honey. A the latter meeting Bros, Hinkle, Spencer, Anderson, SIuss, fcc, were the active agents. Speeches were indulged in that were auti-OlcAieland, anti-Matson, anticollege, .inti-pikc, anti-artesian well, an ti-evjery thing except peach and houev with cheese and crackers and bologna as filling. The dudes in East's office took more kindlv to angel's food, cookies, raw oysters and sandwiches with ice water and tooth-picks for desert, Bros. Sudbnrry, East and Feltus spoke kindly of everything that was Democratic except perhaps the offended disciples who sought to carry out the occasion in good Democratic stvlc. The fellows who made merry in the old grand jury room promise to keep the dudes in kind recollection when the great, day comes, aud if necessary take some of the starch out of their collars for thus breaking into the old Jacksonian traditions with angel's-food and cold water.

John Moore ii again in College this term. Prof. John Kascom Friday night, the third of the lecture course. Chivalry and cold weather are two very hard things to combine. The Prep aratory Department has Received several additions this term. Don't forget the next lecture by Prof Bascom which is to be given soon. W. C. Mason, class of '85, will soon resign his position with Rand, McNally " fc. Co., as he intends to study law. The steam-pipes in Or. Kiikwood's room bursted during the cold weather and froze all the recitations out on Monday. Now who would iiave thought it? Taylor now walks in the way of the Greek and wears the Pli Kappi Psi badge. Albert Brinkerhoff, who giaduated at DePanw in 1882, is visiting his half-brother, Jesse Hubbard, this wack. He also visits his fraternity brethren, the Phi Delta Thetas. Happy thought! Blessed fac! ulty! t Chapel does 'not take up uu-. til Hiio o'clock now. That fifteen minutes can work wonders among the boys. Dr. Jordan left yesterday for Indianapolis where he will attend the meeting of the State Board cf Education. He expects to return Wednesday. Oberlin, (X. Female Seminary burned Friday night and many ef the girls were glad to escape with their night clothes on. None were dangerously burned. The following students who were in last term are out this term: Misses Hendrix, Braxton, Mayne, and Messrs. Crawford, McGlinn, Kline, all of the Freshman class. 1 here is a rumor that Prof. Coulter, of Wabash college, is to go to Yale on a salary of 4,000. Prof, Coulter was invited into the faculty of Indiana University a year ago but declined. u Andersouville," o r "T h c Scout's Last Shot," was taken part in by several of the students, who did themselves great credit. We would especially notice the part taken by Mr. Ellis, of the Senior class . Although a stove may not be the best kind of a heater, one of those inventions would feel very comfortable in some of the recitation rooms this cold weather. The steam heating apparatus has all the necessary appliances but the heat Now is the time when all the students change their rooms and want to room with somebody else. Now is the time wiien the boys quit rooming with that fellow they spiked so hard and did not get, and iro to room with one of their own kind. There have been several changes made in Owen Hall during the holidays. Two small rooms have been cut off in the museum. One is for drawing and the other for the study of igsects. Also a room has been arranged in the basement for Dr. Brauner. He will use it for a photography room in connection with his geological work. Versailles Republican: Chas. X, Peak, of Shelby tp., who is attend

ing college at Bloomington this win- j

ter, was in town last Thursday. Mr. Peak is ono of Ripley's brightest young men, and by the way, is a staunch Republican. Mr. Peak would make a creditable Representative for Ripley county in the next legislature, and would be superior to any timber the Democrats could put in the field." No marriage licenses have been issued since the 1st day of January.

The Courier says Milton Rogers is Isaac daman's deputy. The Courier knows that John C. Wilisnand is Clama-n's deputy, no difference what it says.
