The dramatic monologue, entitled "The Versatile Drummer," by Richard Lew Dawson was presented at the opera bouse last Friday evening. Mr. Dawson is the best character delineator ever appearing before a Bloomington audience, while his "Sassafras Mantis a fine specimen of literary work. His ability as a writer of Hoosier dialect was manifest in the "Old Settlers Meetm,"a poem printed last June in the Century. We trust that another opportunity wili be given to our citizens to see and hear one of Indiana's most gifted poets. In the case of W. R Asher vs. Wm. H. Heaman,in Morgan county, where Beaman was elected prosecuting attorney by a majority of 20 and a re-count was had which changed the result by a majority of five for Asher, after a long trial the Judge has declared the office vacant and that Beaman shall pay all expenses of the suit. Beaman now occupies the office,refusing to give way when a re-count showed Asher elected. Gov. HoTey will probably appoint Asher. The cane was very much like the Grimes-Pedigo case in this county.

Among the many things done by the recent Indiana Legislature was the enacting of a law which makes it a misdemeanor to sell meat without it has been inspected before slaughtered. Following is the law: "That it shall be unlawful to sell or offer or expose for sale in any incorpoiated city within this State, befef, muiton, veal, lamb or pork for human food except as hereinafter provided, which has not been inspected alive within the county by an inspector or his deputy duly appointed by the authorities of said county in which such beef, mutton, veal, lamb and pork it is intended tor consumption, ar.d found by such inspector to be pure, healthy and merchantable, and for every such offense the accused after conviction rih.-ih bo fined no more than two hundred dollars nor less than ten dollars. Section '2. That the City Council is hereby empowered and required to appoint in each incorporated city within the county one or more inspectors and deputies, furnish the necessary blanks, and decree the fees for such inspection; Provided that when farmers slaughter cattle, sheep or swine of their own raising or feeding for human food no other inspection eha.ll be required or penalty enforced than such as are already provided by law to prevent the sale of consumptive or diseased meat. Section 3. Nothing herein contained shall prevent or obstruct the sale of beef or pork known as dried, corned or canned beef, or smoked or salted pork, or other cured or salted meats. The law is very plain on the subject, and, as will be seen, it is now necessary that the Council Immediately appoint the inspector and proceed to carry out the requirements of this statute.

Ed. Whetsell will Sell His Soul for $3.00. Such an announcement is calculated to send a thrill of astoai&bment and surprise through th community scarcely greater than the correct announcement Ed. Whetsell will sell his sole for $3.00. WhetselPs soles are a specialty aud have made a reputation when connected with a stout,strong upper as the best shoe ever offered for the money.
