Sup't Collins, who has charge of this division of the Monoo, has issued an order in which be gives expiire orders.that as little freight be moved on Sunday as is possible, his idea being to reduce work on the first day of the week to aminimum. On some roads the rule is to move as many trains as possible as there are not so many passenger trains to interfere. Joseph Hooper is home from Butte City, Montana, to visit his parents for a short time. He states that Montana and the west is wild over the silver excitement,and that in his own city with 25,000 inhabitants, over 6,000 men were thrown out of employment in one day. The feeling is very bitter against President Cleveland or any legislation that is likely to effect the silver interests.

From the Tuesday Daily: Michael Mullen, the proprietor of the Mullen show, within our gates. chatted very pleasantly for a while this morning with the Telephone reporter. He was being thronged by a host of friends pressing about him anxious to congratulate him and answer his many questions touching his former acquaintances and incidents connected with his life in Bloomington. Everybody was glad to see Mike and he was glad to see everybody. He left Bloomington 12 years ago, going to St. Louis, where, shortly afterwards, he was employed in the livery business. He prospered wonderfully, and for several years he has owned his present extensive livery stable at the corner of 2nd street and Franklin Avenue, St. Louis. He has owned his show during the last three years, and has traveled extensively dnd successfully with ,it throughout the couutry. So far this season he has done a big .business, his tent being crowded to the door at every exhibition, especially at night. Even when traveling for a time just ahead of Sells Bros., this season, his tent was tilled. Three years ago Mr. Mullen married a St. Louis lady, and she travels with him all the time, assisting him in the office work. They have an elegant appartment in one of their cars. She is a graceful lady of culture and refinement, and Mike himself is beaming over with good nature. Mr. Mullen, as is well known, is a native of Bloomington. During his boyhood days, (when not in school, he worked in the Lefler flouring mill, now operated by Dill & Bridwell; for Showers Bros., and also for Capt J. C. Dolan. He has pleasant recollections of those periods of his life among us, and it was interesting to note the pleasure afforded friends and showmen when they would meet and discuss past pleasures and past-times. The show goes from here to Bedford, and will spend a month in Indiana. TIE" GLORIOUS" FOURTH

From the Tuesday Daily: So far as Bloomington was concerned the 4th of July was a delusion and a snare. The day has hardly been given a passing notice. About 4 o'clock this morning, some enthusiastic citizen, by force of habit from by-gone celebrations, rang the bells of the city, fired the anvils, and the Mechanics band gave some of its excellent music later on. The small boy with his accustomed zeal has held tenatiously to the shooting crackers, but this has been the limit of the fire-works of the day. Business has gone on without interruption; even the P O. has kept open most of the day. A few picnic crowds went out to the woods as a matter of defense. The Waldron, Hill & Buskirk factory run as usual, and only for the circus coming to town there would have been no fun for any one. About 12 o'clock the splendid band of the Mullen show furnished entertainment, and this afternoon the tent is well tilled with people, and it will be crowded to-night. But everybody is going1 to remember next year, and tk celebration will be held at Bloomington July 4th, 1S94. Quite a number of Bloomington people enjoyed tho 4th by having private picnics. Showers Bros., Wm. Blair, Waldron, Robert Greeves W. B. Hughes and others comprised one of the crowds.

DEATH OF JAMES AT?.

BEND-

MIDSUMMER

From the Tuesday Daily; James Bern lor, of Salt Creek township, one of the best known citizens of the county, died this morning at Jjbe home of David Wampler, in South Par k. M r. Bender had been in failing health for some time. and a short time ago it was thought best to take Lmi to the insane asylum. He remained there until last week, his condition growing continually worse, when Mrs. Bender brought him as far as Bloomington. He was too weak to be taken to his home, and they stopped at the home of Mr. Wampler. He did not rally and died this morning:. Mr. Bender was 70 3eafc old and was a leading citizen in his section, having served as trustee of the township. He was a Democrat and a member of the Christian church. xorJl i rTls IiVoTTl news.

Mrs. Hcnsley left this moraingto visit a sister at Logansport. The merchants are circulating a petition to close at 6 o'clock except on Saturday nights. Cyrus Harris, of the Carmichael grocery store, leaves Sunday for Chicago to remain a week. A crowd consisting of half a dozen families "celebrated" the 4th by taking supper out near the Hunter quarry. The stone quarries have done little running in the last month. The Central Oolitic has run the nill a fewr days. Andrew Dodds and family, who have been visiting relatives in the city for some time, have returned to their home at Chattaaooga,Tenn. Hon. J. Ralph Burton, commissioner of the State of Kansas at the Columbian exposition, formally a member of the Bloomington bar,delivered the Fourth-of-July oration at the Midway plusanco, and the oration is said by Chicago apers to have been a fine one. The last trial in which Mr. Burton appeared here was in defense of Benton Jones and Lee Jones. Wheat thrashing will commence next week, as already most of the cutting has been done. F;irniers are agreed that the crop was never put up in a better shape, and the yield never promised to be mbre bountiful Old wheat is quoted at Indianapolis at less than 60 cents and the local millers will perhaps not open the local markets above 50 cents per bushel. The opening price a year ago was from 70 to 73 cents. Charles Evans, one of the trusted employees of the Monon, was painfully injured Wednesday, and is now congratulating himself that he is alive. He is tho foreman of tho bridge gang under Jame Coldwell, and was working with a piledriver near Salt Creek, when by some accident the iron bar at tached to the driver slipped, and with a 2,600 pound weight on ono 'jnd of it, struck him under the chin. For a time it was thought he had been killed, but after 15 minutes elapsed

he gained consciousness, and has been improving since. Evans' home is in Indianapoiis and he hta been an employee of the line for tt number of years. It is thought he will soon bo about again, though he made a narrow escape from instant death.
