Anderson, of the federal court solved a knotty problem when he acquitted Cal Sinninger, editor of the Fowler Review, of misusing the mails. Cal had roasted a fellow citizen and he was accused of circulating and scurrilous and defamatory article through the mails. The roast appeared on the first page of Cal’s paper and prosecution was based on the statute which prohibits scurrilous matter on a postal card the back of envelope or the cover of a paper. The court held that the front page of a newspaper was not the cover and Sinninger thus escaped punishment.

Blackford county has four of the most determined trustees in the state. They have been in continuous session since last Monday and taken seventyeight ballots for the purpose of electing a county superintendent to succeed Finley Geiger, the present incumbent. Two of the trustees favor any one but Geiger. Geiger is a Republican and so are three of the trustees. The objection to Geiger seems to he that he has beld it twelve years and that if elected that he will serve sixteen. The base ball team, composed of local players, that was to play a game at Muncie tomorrow, will not play there, on account of receiving a message from the manager of that team postponing the game. The Decatur team will in all probability play there next Sunday. The local team is composed of soipe good material, practically all the players that were members of the Rosenthal s of two years ago, and they will no doubt make the opposing teams go some to defeat them.

The pipe liners of the Standard Oil company, who are located at Preble, have during the past few days made considerable trouble for the police in the way of coming to our city, loading up with booze and then taking offense bes. “nr> the officers arrest them. The boys are all good hard working fellows, and mean no harm by their actions, and spend their money freely. The police have notified the foreman of the gang to keep them at camp or they would run in the entire force. Whether these instructions will be obeyed or not will be ascertained at a latter date. The transactions of C. D. Carr, justice of peace, and secretary' of the Ossian Mutual Live Stock Association, will now be protected from fire and from burglars. Monday, a safe weighing 1,515 pounds and costing a whole pocketful of money, was hoisted up the precipitous stairs that lead to the suite of rooms in the Elzey building occupied by the insurance company. On its broad top rests a huge plaster cast of Nancy Hanks —or maybe it is Joe Patchen —and in its commodious center, w r ell protected by a Yale and Towne lock repose the fonnadable ledgers and registers and piles of greenbacks that symbolize the prosperity of the insurance company.— Ossian News. The following is some of the esential points and good things a wife needs: She needs a good temper, a cheerful disposition and a knowledge of how her husband should be treated. She needs a capability of looking on the bright side of life and refusing to be worried by small things. She needs a secure grasp of such subject as are of interest to men and should not be above studying even politics in order to understand should her husband speak of them. She needs a sympathetic nature in order that, should sorrow fall upon them, she may be able to give comfort to her husband. She needs to understand something of sick nursing. A wife with no notion of what to do in the case of illness is but a useless thing. She needs considarble tact and patience — the one to enable her to know when to remain silent and vice versa, and the other to put up with him when his temper is ruffled.

ERIE HAS NEW DEAL ON. With the C. & O—Will Take a Lease on the C. H. & D. New York, June 7. —The Times today publishes a report which it says was prevalent in the financial district. yesterday that the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railway is to be leased to the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Erie railroads as soon as the road's finances have been readjusted and the Morgan interest can make application for the discharge of the receiver, who was appointed a year ago last December after the Morgan interests bought the property back from the Erie railroad. o BOOSTER FROM BARTLETTSVILLE Is Trying to Organize a Base Ball League in Indiana. Harry T. Mote, a former Montpelier citizen and barber, who for the past couple of years has been located at BartlettsviUe, Ind. Ter., is back among ! the cities of the gas belt, as the “Boos- ■ ter from BartlettsviUe,” proclaiming 1 that BartlettsviUe is the greatest oil and gas center of the world and tell--1 in of a full-blooded Indian ball team ' he will put on the road as soon as he ' and President Roosevelt can come to ’ terms and he be given permission to take the Red men from their reserva- ! tion. He has also inculcated the idea . of forming a base ball league, embraci ing almost every city of over 1,000 in- - habitants in the country, and has al- - ready had the schedule made out and 1 printed. Last evening he honored At- • torney Frank C. Dailey, of this city, • by offering him the title of “Father of i the League.” Business cares forced ! Mr Dailey to decline the place. At t the beginning of the third inning yest terday, Harry T. stepped to the home place and, raising a pasteboard meg- . aphone to his lips, started to address >, the crowd. But Harry T. did not ad- • dress the crowd. He got no further . than “Doutless all of you know that ! I am a base ball promoter and ” • when from the grandstand, side lines , and bleachers the rude spectators . drowmed the address with cat calls, . hoots, jeers and cries of take him off, . throw him out and other impolite uti terances. Again Harry T. Sung onto , his speech but the derisive din would • not abate and thoroughly aggrieved and insulted the promoter left the | field, promising to have the crowd written up in the newspapers. It was rumored last night that as revenge Bluffton was to be excluded I from Mote’s league.—Bluffton Banner. o Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Crist who were 1 here yesterday attending the wed- ' ding of Miss Sadie Crist, and Charles Andrews, returned to their home last ’ night. A pole on the interurban railway ’ company near the home of Henry Dirkson caught on fire last evening, caused by an insulator breaking and permitting the electricity to run into ’ the pole thus igniting it. The car ' was forced to stop and th,? fire extinguished which delayed traffic for 1 several hours. The pole was replaced ! this morning and traffic was not impeded in the least. Charles Sullivan arrived last evening from Huntingburg with an engine that will be used by the interurban people in ballasting their line. The ; locomotive is now on the G. R. & I. , I tracks and some time this evening will be transferred to the interurban tracks and run to the gravel pit where it will be placed in operation at once. Eight cars of gravel were taken from the pit yesterday and distributed along ’ the line where needed most. Commencing at ten-thirty o’clock tomorrow morning the interurban peo- ’ pie will adopt the every hour and a half schedule to accommodate the , crowds. This schedule will also remain in effect Monday for the benefit ’ of the Ben Hurs, who will hold a convention at Ft. Wayne on that date. They have also made arrangements ( to have two cars awaiting at Ft. , Wayne at eleven o’clock to handle , the people who attend the convention and desire to return home at a late hour. The management especially cater to the Ben Hurs on this date and promise them excellent service. > EAGLE'S NOTICE.
