Burning of the New Department of the
State UniVer.sty.
Special to the Indianapolis JourEas.
BLOOMINGTON, July 12-At about 1920
O'Clock tonight the new department of Indi-
ana University was discovered by the janitor
to be on fire, and at once the alarm was given
by Mr. Spicer. The building being SO far
from the center of town, it was fully half an
hour before a thorough alarm was given and
the fire company on duty, and when they
went to lay out the hose it was discovered
that it was not within fifty feet of being long
enough. In the meantime the flames were
raging, and the laboratory was in flames, and
the second story on fire. The engine soon
got to work. and the men worked
nobly, but explosions in the laboratory
continued until all was gone. Soon the
attention was given to save the old building.
The museum was perhaps the finest in the
COuAbiys ltOt O4SCitcn III b16 w SSl5 anu COH-
tanned the celebrated Owen collection. The
library, consisting of Is 900 volumes, selected
with great care mainly during the last ten
years, and containing many rare works, was
also lost. DR.. d. S. Jordan's collection of
fishes cannot be duplicated.
The loss will be $780, 600, about as follows:
Library 1000; museum, $4,000; building
sa5,eoe; laboratory, $4,000 This does not
include Jordan's collection. The general
superstition is that it was set on fire. some
say by lightning,
LATER.-The fire is under control. The
new building is entirely destroyed. There
is no doubt but lightning caused the fire,
as a thunderstorm was raging at the time.
The fluid was carried into Professor Wyiie's
room by the telephone wire. The loss will
reach 5000, oO0. with S3Oo0a insurance. This
building was constructed ten years ago.

oh, MyBBaCk!

That's a common express
sion and has a world Of
meaning. How much SUI
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is oocasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver conf
plant consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BIITERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: " My wife
has for many years been trou.
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and I can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"

NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of The Sun have
gone out of our establishm ant during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the columns
of all the Suns printed and sold iast year you
would get continuous strip of interesting in
formation, common sense, wisdom, sound doc
trine, and sane wit long enough to reach from
Printing House Square to the top of Mt. Copper
nicus in the moon, then back to Printing House
square then three-quarterS Of the way back to
the moon again.
But the Sun is written for the inhabitants of
the earth; this same strip of intelligence would
girdle the globe twenty-seven or twenty eight
times.
If every buyer of a copy Of the Sun during
the past year had spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has afford
the human race thirteen thousand years of
steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of of the circulation of
the most popular of American newspapers, or of
influence on the opinions and actions of Ameri-
can men and women.
The Sun is, and Will continue to be neWspa-
Der which tells the truth without fear of cense-
Quences, which gets at the facts no matter how
much the process costs, which presents the news
of all the world without waste of words and in
the most readable shape, which is working with
all its heart for the cause of honest government,
Iican party must go, and must go in this coming
year of our Lord, 1884.
II you know the Sun, you like 1t already, and
you will read it with accustomed diligence and
profit during what is sure to be the NEST inter-
esting year in its history. If you DO not yet
know the Sun it is high time to get into the sun
shine.

"Well. you'll have chance. There's

claims that we haven't got IS, 900, 000
population, and he is bluffing every
body. Ill bring him up if you'll make a

The stranger went away and returned
with the buffer, who had no sooner en-

where's the man who says this coun'
try has over 5000. 600 population"
The saloonist modestly replied that
he was the man, and in less than a
minute the two ten-dolIar bills were put
into the hands of the first caller.
There's a new map in the store

in the Councils of the Nation. The
Irish born members Of the next House
of Representatives are twenty in number,
while the German-born are but seven,
although the German-born population Of
the United States considerably exceeds
the Irish-born. OF the twenty Irish
members four are from Missouri.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania
have three each; New York and In
diana two each, and Massachusetts, II

fornia one each. Out of the twenty only
three are Republicans. The seven Ger
mans are credited one each to New York,
New Jersey and Massachusetts, and two
each to Michigan and Wisconsin. Two
of the seven are Republicans. Strangely
enough, the only State the majority Of
