The lecture of Prof. :Swain at the hapel last Sunday afternoon, like that of Prof Woodburn two Sundays before, deserve more than a passing notice in that they have created so much favorable comment. Both are strong men, and the large audiences that greeted them is evidence of their popularity as instructors. The Sunday afternoon course is onof the best features of our college life, and citizens will find it an hour well spent to attend these lectures. Next Sunday the address will be by Wm. P, Rogers ; subject, "The Purpose of Life." It is the intention of the railroad company to ask the commissioners the use of the ground donated to them, south of the old college, for switch purposss. As the contract now is they must build upon the land or return it to the county. The Council at their last meeting gave the company the right of way

for a switch on the west side of the track from the depot south to the corporation line. A side track is to be built to reach the grounds south of McCalla's mill, and in connection with this the train dispatcher's force is to be moved from Lafayette to Bloomington. A portion of the second floor of the Dunn building has been rented for offices. The force consists of the superintendent of trains, a train dispatcher and two assistants.

The Polit e tfozcttc of the last issue decorates its entire first page with a picture that is recognized from the reading below as the Meadows-Anderson murder at Harrodebarg.

Late Tuesday afternoon the sheriff of the county in which Pans, Illinois, is located arrived in Bloomington in company with Joseph Isom, Jr., and Berry Gardiner, two young men who live in the west part of the county, who had been arrested on the charge of stealing two horses from a man by the name of Jacob Hann. who lives near Paris. The horses were also recovered and brought in with them. The two prisoners were at once lodged in jail. The officer who made the arrest states to the Tjslepmok that these young men were working in the vicinity of Paris, and about six weeks ago they left and two horses disappeared with them. No sooner did they land in Monroe county than they were "located." When the arrests were made they told where the horses would be found. One of the animals had been sold to a man by the name of Van Dyke, but whether any money had been paid is not known. The persons were taken to Paris on the midnight train.

She has been confined to her bed for near a month. The Indian Show crowded the opera house Wednesday night and last night and many that were present speak of it as a splendid entertainment. They have a splendid comedian, songs and dances by genuine Indians, recitations and everything that goes towards making a complete exhibition. It U worth any one's time to go and see the Indians.
