The prospects for artesian watr are about the same as when reported in the last issue. The drill has been at work and is now down about 1,075 feet, but the water remains about the same 75 feet from the top. It is the intention to go down 1,100 feet, then pipe. If the prospects are not better for water, the pipe will probably bo taken out, the hole filled t the place where gas was first discovered, then shot. So will end the chapter.
The Norman '"white cap" case is not to be trhsd this term of court, after all. According to a decision of Mr. -Milieu, it will next be tried iu Owen county. The attorneys for Norman asked for the change of venue, and argued that it should go to Owen county for the reason that a change to Lawrence will be subject to the same influences as in Monroe, as many of the defendants live there. The attorneys for the defendants, however, vigorously argued that th move for a change to Owen was intended only to put them to the additional expense of going all the way to Spencer and remaining there through a long trial, insisting that a change of venue was not necessary, and especially that it would be a groat injustice to carry the case so far away. Mr. Millen, however, decided to send the case to Owen and did so. The "X. Y. Z." is the Cigar. Everybody calls for it.

The Directors of the couuty fair met yesterday. The total proceeds were about $1,100. Including $200 indebtedness of last year, and that of this year the premiums will be paid at the rate of 50 cents on the dollar. The general idea of the present directors is to abandon the enterprise in favor of a stock company. Rev. W. R. Halstead will leave the 1st of October for Rockport to attend the annual conference, which meets tjie 3rd. The leading church at Evansville, also the churob at Frankfort, have applications in for Mr. Halstead next year, but it is his desire to return to Bloomington and he will probably be permitted to do so. B. F. Adams lias been elected lay steward and will accompany Mr. Halstead to Rockport. 'The O. &. M. branch is the next railroad that will be built to our citv. You Bloomington editors go out in some secluded spot or get behind the monument that marks your artesian well and kick yourselves. Then go and pay that merchant, that is talking of coming to our city, two or three thousand to stay with you." B ed f o rd l)e m oc ra t . If "that merchant will not accept a free store room and no taxation, bring suit for 812,000 to make him come.
The probability is that within a short time a stock company will be organized, new grounds secured and a fair will be started upon a new basis. The idea is to secure grounds south of the city, erect buildings,and put in a good half-mile track. The premiums will be made with special reference to stock and the speed ring. rv . W. Wicks, Showers Bros., and a mumber of other business men are interested in such an enterprise. They see no reason why if Spencer ean have 6,000 people in one day that Bloomington twice as Urge can not do as well or better.
