There is a rumor afloat that the citizens and property owners along Ninth street and a part of the property owners along west Monroe street were contemplating the circulation of a petition for the construction of a brick street. There is no question but that these streets need repairing and if the property owners want brick should be given the privilege of using them in preference to having the street macadamized as In former years. What the result will be will be known at the next regular meeting of the council. ■ A common old box car is now answering the purpose of a transfer house for the three railroads on the site where the fire recently occurred. It was rumored in railroad corcles for a while that the three roads intended to construct a brick biulding with a slate roof one that would be practically fire proof in every respect. But up to the present time they have made no move in that direction, and from present indications there will be none made for some time to come. In the mean time the box car will answer all purposes. According to the statement issued by the members of the Decatur Horse Sale company they will discontinue these popular sales until some time next fall. The reason of this is that the company was unable to purchase good horses and rather than put up poor stock for sale they concluded to close down until fall when horses will again undoubtedly be plentiful. The company, with its past sales made and established a record for themselves in the manner of selling good stock, and they desire to retain that reputation and the confidence of the public.

Lovers of base ball in Hartford City —that is, some of the loyal fans—are still anxious that the city be represented by a team. A meeting of the stockholders has been called for Wednesday night and an effort will be made either to organize another team or turn over the bucket for good.— Hartford City News. There are tw-o ways of spending a dollar. You can spend it at home, gain an easy conscience, make another friend and perhaps get the dollar back tomorrow, or you can send it away, feel that you have sinned, offend the home merchant and forever lose the dollar and the blessed influence for good to yourself and neighbor. Rural delivery carriers will not be required to count the number of pieces of mail delivered and collected by them after July 1. next on routes where the records show that 5,000 or more pieces of mail per month were handled during each of the three months included in the quarter ending June 30. Postmasters have been instructed accordingly. Regardless of the wet weather, Julius Haugk is pushing the work on Madison street with a vim and is bound to see it completed within his time limit. Nearly all the curbing along the square between First and Second street has been set and by the first of next week the work of tearing the stone out will be started and pushed rapidly to completion. Lacey, pitcher, and Reese, short stop, telephoned that they could not come. They are at present on the Kokomo-Sharpsville team and the fans there will not consent to their leaving. Their salaries have been raised and they have decided to remain there. This puts the locals in a hole again and it will take some tall hustling within the next few days to complete the team. —Lebanon Reporter. The supreme court ruling relative to selling and giving away liquor is as folliws: “The two offenses of selling intoxicating liquor to a drunken man and giving it to such a person, though both forbidden by section 573, acts 1905, page 720, are entirely distinct and not provable by the same evidence, and an acquittal for giving away liquor to a drunken man is no bar to apros ecution for selling the same liquor to the same person.” If the plans on foot don't miscarry, Hartford City's base ball team will be reorganized wihin a week or two. At a meeting of the stockholders of the amusement association Wednesday night it was decided to assess each of the sixty members $lO in order* to meet the indebtedness and raise a guarantee fund for another team. If there are any of the stockholders who won't stand for the assessment, they will be asked to turn in their stock. All the free passes will also be dispensed with. The two pipe liners who were arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Dalias Butler were arraigned this morning before Squire Smith and after telling their little tale of woe, were given fifteen minutes to get out of town. The boys were glad to avail themselves of this opportunity and at once started back for the Standard Oil camp near Preble. The men were hard working fellows, who meant no one harm, but merely came to our city and could not resist the temptar tion to go against the booze game. The barbers union that for a time was talked so much about by the scrapers has fallen through with and the old scale of prices, which have predominated for years will still remain in force and those who contemplated letting their whiskers grow may now come forth and have them chopped off at the usual old price. Although a barber’s union is a good thing, several of the local men claimed they would not join the same, and the balance concluded that if all could not be secured that they did not care to organize and the scheme fell through.

The Eagles amused themselves last evening at their lodge room at the expense of a candidate, who was anxious to get the work and from all reports the boys enjoyed themselves to thte limit. The Eagles now have one of he nicest furnished lodge rooms in the citj’ and are monthly adding to their membership. Four candidates will be given the work in this order next Thursday evening. Fred Boltz, a Ft. Wayne saloon keeper, well known in this city, is on trial today before the federal court at Indianapolis charged with receiving stolen postage stamps. He was arrested about a year ago, when a large quantity of United States postage stamps were found in his possession. The arrest followed a few days after the robbery of a small postoffice near Ft. Wayne. The new picture show that is situated in the building formerly occupied by the bowling alley was opened to the public last evening, and the first show of the season was given by them. Considering the newness of everything, the show was carried out without a hitch, and the large crowd that was present was given a rare treat. Their pictures will be changed for tonight’s performance. Frankfort lost to the Decatur team yesterday at Decatur by the score of 5 to 3 notwithstanding the fact that Boyd outpitched Way and Frankfort outhit Decatur, having eight hits to six for Behringer's bunch. There were five errors back of Boyd, this being due to the lack of practice. Once in form the team will be able to take the measure of them all, so just wait until that good time comes. — Frankfort Chescent. C. F. Alexander, of Ft. Wayne, who represents the Packard Music House of that city, has leased the front room of the city offices here and will open a music store therein. Mr. Alexander comes highly recommended and i he will move to this city about the fifteenth of this month. He says he will be one of the boosters of Decatur, and will be a thorough Decatur citizen. He will certainly be welcomed to our midst, and we hope he will be attended by success in this new field. Rev. Perry Reed, on account of ill health, has resigned as pastor of the Huntington circuit of the Methodist church, after but a few weeks’ service, and will go west for his health. F. P. Myers will take charge of the White church and Clear Creek appointments for the present. The lung trouble coming upon Mr. Reed was quite sudden and unexpected. —Huntington Herald. Rev. Reed was quite well known in this city and his many friends will be grieved to learn of his misfortune. The Gregory building, which is at present occupied by the city offiies, is undergoing some much needed repairing and painting. A partition has been placed in the front part of the building and this room will be occupied by Mr. Alexander, the Packard music man, who Will open a branch house in our city. The room was larger than the city needed, and as Mr. Alexander could secure no other quarters, they deemed it policy to lease him a part of the building, which he will occupy. In an official interpretation of the full crew law, adopted by the Indiana railroad commission, it is held that the flag man on a train of fewer than fifty cars, including passenger and express trains must be a man of at least one year's experience, though the law does not provide so specifically. The law provides, however, that in the case of a train of fifty cars or more the flagman shall be a man of one year’s experience or more. The commission holds that it was the intention of the legislature to require a man of a year's experience in all cases. Local autoists who were planning to attend the state meet which was to have been held at Kokomo July 4, will hear with regret that it has been declared off, the promoers having failed to get the consent of the property owners along the streets on which it was proposed to hold the speed contests to use them for racing purposes. A persistent effort was made to get the property owners to waive their objections, but most of them refused to do so. Some of them were so violently opposed to the racing idea that they gave notice that they would bring prosecutions against all participants if an attempt were made to use the streets for either races or speed exhibitions.
