Tus failure of the Monroe county fair, financially, for the past two years has alone been chargeable to the want of advertising The directors have been careful and worked hard for its success, but in 1887 and 1888 the receipts were not near what was expected. Last year though the weather was good, the crops were above the average and everything was promising, our fair barely paid expenses, while the fairs of Spencer, Bloomfield, Linton and Salem were nnasualiy successful. The secret of it was the advertising. The Spencer fair did more advertising in this county than our own fair; their advertising bill in the Tblephone was larger. The Spencer fair receipts on one day Thursday exceeded the total amount for the week by our association. The Bloomfield fair paid $5:25 for us advertising and cleared $1,000 above all expenses. This year the Monroe County Fair is repeating the same mistake. At a late meeting they decided that $30 was the total to be expended for newspaper advertising, and the total advertising will not exceed $50. Five times that amount would not be enough, ad every business man in bloomington knows. Perh aps none more thoroughly understand the art than a circus, yet it is a very small concert that does not pa; $200 a day for its advertising. It is easy enough to see that the result of such a policy, if continued will only be another failure.

A writes objects to the Telephone criticising the University affairs. Mrange enough he does not object to the compliments. Like a few others, he is ready to enjoy the pretty things that may be said and expects a pleasant notice upon the least provocation. He forgets that the University is a State institution maintained by direct taxation from the people, and that these people thave the right to examine closely into its affairs, and therefore guard it with a zealous eye. There is not an officer or an instructor who is not directly responsible to the people for the character of his work. If he is not ready and prepared to receive criticism or commendation it is good evidence that he has no business in the place The profesor who is not in fuil sympathy with the people with whom he is associat

ed and who pay him for Lis work, ;

has no business in a State University, for he is the servant ef the State. As a rule, those who deserve criticism the most always think it out of place. The man who finds fault with all about him, the people, the town and the State, need go uo further than himself to discover the cause of all the .trouble. The professor who does satisfactory work will not care for criticism or where it comes from; it will not be aimed

Saturday r ight the gas well was successfully -shot" for the first time. At the time there were over 100 pounds of dynamite and 20 quarts of nitroglycerine in the bottom of the welljas before the explosion the contractors were quite certain that the material heretofore put down had not exploded. The danger Saturday night was in the hauling of the nitroglycerine, as it is said that one drop has the power of 40 pounds of powder. The explosive is made near Greensburg and was brought here in a wagon, there being in all 140 quarts, 120 of which was taken to Princeton for the same use, The material will explode at tho least concussion and in order to haul it safely, it is kept at a certain temperature by means of ice. It is stated by those who know that had an explosion of the entire 140 quarts occurred as the wagon stood by the well, it would have completely wrecked the houses for a fourth of a mile about. It is put in the well by means of long tin cans and let down to the bottom with the wind-lass. When the well is ready for shooting a heavy weight is letdown and when within 10 feet of the nitroglycerine is let drop by cutting the rope, the strike causing the explosion. When the material went off, water, sand and mud was thrown several feet above the top; a match was applied, but there was no gas. About 30 minutes later the water and mud gorged out of the Up again, tire was applied and gas burned up for several feet. A second time the water w;as thrown out, all of which shows strong indications of. gas, and only for the water the well might be a "gusher." An effort will now be made to pipe the water off by use of a "packer," which forces the water away and at the same time give ample opportunity for the gas to come up. The result will be known in a short time; in the meanwhile BOOM THE TOWN!

The man who is writing to the Indianapolis Sentinel that the University trustees are controlled in their action regarding the faculty by a Republican clique of Bloomington, is not very complimentary t the four out of the eight members of the Board who are Democrats. If the gentlemen excused had an much efficiency a3 politics there would have been no trouble.

AT THE RE-UNION AND BANQUET OF THE CLASS OF 1872. TO MRS. 11 AN NAM AN" JAMES. Surrounded by her loyal 4i3oys" The Queen of Heart hold rightful place, And all our hearts she ruled by grace, Charmed by Jove's perfect rquipoise.

In turn, of three each manly man Confessed to college crimes lu'd done, Until with bosom cleansed, each oae Had look whirl) mi M, You now may scan My inmost soul, and not there see A blot or strain, and yet. Ah mo, There is a scar, ever must be.'; But such a sweetness seemed to run From heart to heart, it lit each face, Until that seemed -'elestial place. And he who felt that worst he'd done. Ureal lied most the exquisite peiftime Of peae. full flower in splomhd bloom "Within the sumptuous banquet room. Faint lore-taste, then thought one.a guest This sweet re-union, where the soul Of each is bared like written scroll.

No flood so disatrous as that in the Conemaugh region has ever before been known in the history of the country. In the Mill river disaster, near .Northampton, Mass., in 1874, in which a number of villages were destroyed through the bursting of an ill-constructed reservoir, only 144 were lost, and in the same year, when the rivers of western Pennsvlvania overflowed their banks as the result of an un usual downfall of rain, the number of persons wh were drowned was but 220. In the year l58 more than 400 families were drowned in an inundation at Glasgow; at Dort, in Holland, in 1421, the sea broke in and drowned 100,000 people, and the moat memorable of all inundations that which in 1580 was caused in Holland by the general failure of the dykes the loss of life was reckoned at 400,000. In Cataloma, 1C17, 50,000 persons perished by fl-od; in Silesia, in 1813, 6,000. The loss of life during the recent floods in Austria-Hungary and in China hat?; never been fully reckoned up, and though 3 00,000 persons are said to have been drowned in the Chinese inundation, the figures are not trustworthy.

The right of the State officers to negotiate a loan of $700,000 on bonds issued under authority of an act of the last Legielature was passed upon Tuesday by Judge Howland, of the Circuit Court. He holds that the Legislature is confined within certain limits by the constitution and that none of the conditions specified in the constitution and necessary to make a loan valid existed at the time the bonds were issued, and for this reason the proposed loan is unconstitutional. The loan was negotiated with the German Savings Uank, of New York, which afterwards relused to carry out the agreement on the advice of its attorneys The Court holds that the deficit must be present and not future when the loan is made. If the decision is sustained in the Supreme Court the $600,000 loan made two years ago is also unconstitutional, and the German Savings Uank hold nearly all of those bonds.

The rush to Oklahoma is over. Seine prizes were drawn but nine out of every ton persons who went there to better their conditon have been disappointed. Its future is hard to predict. Much depends upon what course the government pursues relative to the remainder of the Indian territory. So far there is no defiuite public sentiment on th subject of opening the territory for settlement. It is not probable that it will be opened at once. In a few years, however, some of it may be purchased and opened and so it will go until within a generation all the vast tract, now known as the Indian territory may be opened to white men and the Indian question settled. The Attorney General has decided that the recent act relating to extension of teachers' license without examination applies to licenses for twentv-four months or over, and a form of application for renewal has been prepared and will be furnished applicants by the State or County Superintendent.
