An item in theCincinnatiJETttgttiVer says: Mr. and Mrs. Graham Earle have passed a sad vacation. Joseph B. Earle, a brother of Graham Earle, who had been visiting at their cottage on Lake Manitau, with his young wife and baby, died there July 20, of consumption, His death was very sudden and unexpected." Monday afternoon while Lynn Shoemaker, the youngest son of J. W. Shoemaker, was painting the roof of the house occupied by Mrs. Hensley, he accidentally fell to the ground, breaking his left arm below the elbow. Physicians were soon called and the broken bone was set. No trouble is feared as the bone was not shattered. Uncle Thomas Carter, one of the oldest citizens of Monroe county, died last Tuesday night ai the residence of his son, one mile north of Buena Vista, in Indian Creek township. He was almost 99 years old and is known 'as one of the first pioneers ali through the southern part of the cpunty. He wasaprominent member of the Methodist church.

Among the features of the Old Settlers meeting at Ketchata's springs will be the famou s Pop Cdhi sinking club. They will furnish the music on Sa;.urdav, the 24th.

Worthington Times : " Mr, and Mrs, (). E. Foster will celebrate their fiftieth, wedding anniversary on nex; Wednesday, August 14th, by receiving their frie nds from 2 o'clock until 7 p. ra., at the residence of W. H. Cooper." The different fair associations evidently know how to reach the people of Monroe county. The Spencer fair, the Gosport fair, tho Salem fair and our own fair are each using the Tklepuone for advertising their respective merits. Hon. M. W. Lee, the Democratic secretary of the Democratic "Tariff Reform club," is to deliver an address at the court house next Fri

day night. "Tariff Reform" is to take the place of free trade in the next campaign. The same old wolf in a different dress.

East Kirk wood Avenue has been indulging in a mad dog scare. Saturday afternoon Augustus Kruegcr had the house dog killed. For several days the animal had been act

ing strangely, and for that reason it was locked up in a room. Saturday afternoon it succeeded in getting ouvand while the little boy ot PeUr B. Martin was playing, the dog bit him in two different places. Soon after Mrs. Kreuger had the animal killed. As soon as Mr. Martin knew the circumstances, he had tho wounds examined by Dr. Harris and he prescribed something with which to bath the injured parts. At last reports there was nothing to indicate that th boy would suffer any from the bits. Monday at noon Mr. Mariin took the boy to Torre Haute to try the famous Indiana '"mad stone" on the wounds. Both Drs. Maxwell and Harris examined the wounds carefully and thought there was no dancer to be feared. One bite is on the ana, below the elbow, and the other is on the thigh. Both are deep flesh wounds, and aside from the fact thst they were made by a dog under such suspicion, would be thought nothing about, as they causa no special pain, and the boy has nhowu no

i evidence of sickness. The wounds

arc not swollen vr do not show indications of poison. When Mr. Martin asked the physicians about the mad stons" both told him that they apprehended no danger, and

! that medical works took no stoc.it

whatever in the curative powers of the supposed '(inad stone." Mr. Martin, however, thought it was better

! to be on the safe side and so decided to give it a trial. According to the

boy's story, he was driving a cow at the time the dog made the attack.

1 It started towards him, when he j struck at it with a whip, when it

jumped on him and bit him twice. The boy is seven years old.

At the Board meeting of DePamv University last week,at Indianapolis, Dr. J. P. D. John was appointed acting president for the incoming year, and Dr. M. M. Parkhurst retires from the faculty, but not on account of political reasons as stated in the Journal of Thursday.

Without investigation one will have an adequate idea of the amount of money paid into building associations in Bloomington. As a matter

1 of information the Telei'Iioxe has

secured the figures of all four of the organizations, showing the name of the association, the amount paid ui each week, and the total amount paid each week, ASSOCIATION. DUES. SHAKES. AM't Mechanics' 25c 325 81 25 Workingmen's 25c 1917 479 2ft Monroe, 50c 95 1 475 50 Real Estate, 25c 1327 331 75

Saturd ay af tern oon, about

o'clock, a dog that had every indications of being mad,passed through I. M. Rogers' yard, 1 mile east of town, and went in a southernly direction. In passing it attempted to bite a man working there. The dosr belonging to Mr. Rogers attacked the stranger and was bitten oeveral times. The Oolitic Stone Co., that has a quarry near Smithville, has had a core drill put dowiand finds a ledge of stone 51 feet and eight inches deep. A cora drill h an instrument about 3 inches in diamater that cuts down into tho rock and is so arranged as to raise to the surface that part that fills the drill, so that the exact mbstance is secured as deep as the drill goes.

Total each week, $1,367 75 This does not include the interest and premium paid in each month on borrowed stock, which will amount to near 1300 eph week. At this rate about $80,000 is annually paid into building associations. Wni. Norman, the plaintiff in the 'white cap" case from Polk township, states that he will insist upon a second trial in the coming term of the circuit court. He also states to the Telephone that his daughter Nannie will bring suit :for $.5,000 damages against Hezekiah Norman and the four others who are defendants in the case now pending. Duncan & Batman, and Miers & Voir are noW preparing the papers and they will be filed in a few days. It is quite probable that both cases will be venued out of Monroe county. . Miss Saliie Cheery left Saturday night for Bethany Park, where she will spend a week a guest of the Franklin cottage.

Thifc h'avorito Summer Resort is now open for the season, and we can say to Friends and Patrons of Bloomington and Monroe County that we are better prepared for the accommodation and amuseme.M of guest than ever before. We have mad many changes and improve:?! on ts that add much to the convenience of the Springs, having built a , cw club and Pool room, and Ball Alley o:i the hill, nearer to the Hotei: also a line half mile race track in the Valley, just North of the Hotel, where visitors can sit in the grove and view the races, which will be a new and pleasing feature. The character and reputation of the Hotel and Springs are so well and favorably known that we refer to anyone that ever visited the place. The reason is, every person hi made to feel at home from the moment they land at the Hotel until their departure, thereby making one large American family, full of fun, wit and humor. Those corning for health will find everything arranged for comfort and convenience, and their stay will be both pleasant and profitable.
