Mention has been made in the Telephone of the election of Prof. Albert Bryan to the presidency of the Agricultural College of the State of Washington. This institution is located at Pullman and Prof. Bryan w as the unanimous chouse of the trustees. His work is to begin in September and it is understood that he will accept. Prof. Bryan is a Monroe county boy; he was born and raised cast of Bloomington alout three miles, and is a selfmade man. He taught school as !oon as'he had enough education, then too the means to complete his college force. After graduation he went to Grayville, Ills., and finally to Yiucennes University us president, where he has been very successful. Albert is a brother of Wb. L. of the Indiana University faculty, and like him, s a persistent and tireless worker. I predict for him much success in his new field of labor. He will always honor Bloomington and himself. It does no good to tand about and talk hard times; in fact it produces harm. Anything thai causes discontent is an injury to the people generally- Sune people are kept sick because everybody passing says they look bad. I I card a doctor say that a word of encour-

The National encampment of the Grand Army will be held at Indianapolis Sept. 1st to the 8th, and already especially low railroad rates have been promised. The family of Harvy Phillips, on

Considering the times, it is doubtful if there is another citv in the State the size of Bloomington that is getting along so well. There are more good houses being erected than ever before, and. as a general rule our working people are employed. There have been few failures here for ten years, and people who know say that our merchants are weathering the present storm. In fact, Bloomington has always been a conservative business place; speculation has never entered into its commercial life, in addition to the usual surroundings of the average city of 6,000 inhabitants, it has a great University and the stone quarry interests to add to its prosperity. I have no fears of the future of Bloomington!

I noticed in the Daily a short time ago an item about some people that came near getting run over by the cars at a street crossing. The wonder is that somebody has not already been killed, as I can name several occasions where our own towns-people have made narrow escapes. A state law requires that an engine whistle before reaching a crossing, and it is a law that should be obeyed. In fact, a watchman is needed at the 2nd street crossing, and my judgment is that such a precaution would save the railway company money in the end. M an - A bout-To wn.

Some of these tine mornings Editor Feltus will be publishing extracts from the book of Job and palming it off as a yesterday's sensation. In this issue of the Telephone Moses Kahn announces that he is ready for business in his new store room, east of the National Bank. Mr. Kahn is one of Bloomington's substantial tradesmen, and enjoys such a general acq uaintance throughout the county that words from the press seem unnecessary, for as a clothing merchant he has spent most of his life among us. With a man so thoroughly acquainted with the public there is no doubt of success, and Mr... Kahn will start from the first with his full share of the business. He proposes to carry a complete line of clothing of the latest styles, and to make a specialty of all the novelties that go with the business. The following extract is from the general orders issued by James T, Johnson, department commander of Indiana, G. A. K: "The department commander learns .with much regret that a number of old soldier throughout this department, who are pensioners, are in the habit of becoming intoxicated whenever they can get money with which to purchase drinks, and thus deprive their families of the common necessities of life. It is therefore earnestly urged that where such cases exist the post comman ler apply to the courts and have a guardian appointed for such old soldiers, to the end that the money paid them by u beneficent govcrn-
