The Southern Pacific railroad is one of the unfortunate properties that fell into the hands of that eminent Republican financier, and firm friend of Charles W. Fairbanks, the Hon. Edward H. Harriman —the same Harriman, by the way, who raised to help Roosevelt carry New York in 1904. A Los Angeles dispatch says that seventy persons have been killed and over 290 injured, more or less, in wrecks on the Southern Pacific railroad during the last five months. “Since Jan. 1 twenty-five wrecks have occured in California on the Southern Pacific, and it is asserted that the majority of these were caused either by blunders of trains crews, many of them overworked, or by faults in the equipment of the rolling stock or track "Insecure or improperly ballasted roadbed and worn-cut tracks are held responsible for fifteen wrecks, threefifths of the total number and the ones in which the greatest loss of life occurred. Included in this number is the wreck on the coast line, in which some thirty nobles of the Mystic Shrine met death. Os the total number of wrecks it is asserted that only three were due to unavoidable causes. Investigation of the coast line of the Southern Pacific, over which the heaviest tourist travel is carried, shows that in many places along this line the track is absciutely rotten." Between speculators like Harriman asd the "protected" steel trust with its rotten rails the traveling public rides a rocky road. *■— ■ a. ■ 1 « Two years ago there were 150 federal inspectors, costing J 1.300,000 a year.

WON AT RICHMOND Behringer’s Bunch Defeats Jessup Team ON THEIR OWN BATTLE GROUND Geyer Pitches a Great Game and Backed by Good Fielding Wins by a Score of Three to One. Richmond, Ind.. June 8, 1897. On to Richmond Well. I guess we did get on to Richmond. We took them same as Grant did in the days of the war. With Weldon on the gate. Geyer in the box and Burns hitting them on the nose there was no chance for them. If there had been a chance their tenth man would have taken it. Well, he was not very bad. but at that he was a crook. The silent battery, Geyer and Winger, were in great form. The way the team fielded especially Linderbeck. Daniels. Ayette and Burns startled the natives, who never saw such fast base ball since Lajoie was aboy. In the third Burns led off with a hit. socrificed by Pierce to second, scored by a single by Kerwin. After marble top flew out to center, Linderbeck hit one on the bun for two sacks, and scored on two sacker by Burns, Pierce scoring Burns with a single - In only one inning did Richmond look dangerous. Two sin-’ gles. a sacifice and walk filled the; bases. Geyer struck out the next man Justice hit a slow one to short j which Kerwin booted: one man cross-; ed the rubber. The next man was . an easy out to Burns. After that it - was one. two. three. We leave here. at 9:10 for Frankfort- And we are not shy of the material to take Frank- 1 fort down the pike a couple of more times. And take Lebanon on our way through the jungles. Heaven help them: we will have no mercy. Keep all the responses for our manager when he returns. Good evening. Jack Ryder Pierce. » Decatur.

According to the Richmond dope; sent in, Kerwin, the new man, got off :to the good and seems to be a find, j He secured two hits, had two assists and one error. Not so bad for a starter. Burns had his big stick with him in Richmond and secured three binIgies. Dunkirk defeated the SharpsvilleKokomo bunch Sunday in a fourteen inning game by a score of 3 to L Bluffton won Sunday from the Ft. Wayne Shamrocks by a score of 4 to 1. The Crescent is willing to risk its , reputation upon the prediction that j boyd, the young man twirling ban for j the Frnakfort team will prove to be the pitching find of the semi-profes-sional teams in the state for the season. Boyd has yet to lose a game this season where his work in the box was at fault he bolding the opposing batsmen down to a very few : hits in all his games, which have been lost by errors, due to the fact that the men back of him have no* tad a chance to engage in practice work.—Frankfort Crescent. First baseman Carl Comiagor and outfielder Ripley were both released Saturday by the Bluffton management and have gone to Kokomo According to all reports they had been playing indifferent base ball and the fans demanded their release. Bluffton seemingly is not as strong as last year, as ithey have lost five games and won

five to date. Another defeat and Jis-i I bandment is a certainty, as the yebj low fans of that city cannot stand defeat. Q STRANGE THINGS OCCURRED. In this Locality Last Monday Accordmg to Portland Scribe. Al! sorts of strange things happen- 5 • ed in Indiana Monday. It snowed in Bluffton. May 27th. mark it y©n wjay be eldest I inhabitant some day. This will freeze 'em to death. It hailed in Newcastle; hail big as hen eggs, fooled the blamed hens and they cackled all afternoon. Lightning struck a spring hat worn by woman at Wabash who was engaged in singing a solo in the ‘ United Brethren church. Wire in ■ the hat is said to have attracted the stroke. Wabash milliners will use • lightning rods hereafter. Cyclone in Bartholomew county picked up a fellow and his girl bug- ' gy riding near Hope and turned the whole outfit over; he never lost holt. At Hartford City, where they don't* know enough tq come in out of the snow, they played base bail; local i, management built a bonfire on third base as an inducement for three bag- ' gers. Over at Decatur they claim the wind blew so hard that a cow was blown' up against a high board fence and held there until it starved to death. ' Guess that was biowin' some. —Jay County Record.

It was gotten up at Bluffton and several | signed it there. Mote outlined his' ! plans for the biggest base ball league j |in the world to the News and asked ‘ for a signature to his paper. When ' he entered the office be threw downl I I , a card on which was printed: "Harry , T. Mote, the Big Booster from Barties- i 1 viile, the oil city of the world. Naff ’ red. Watch Harry."

The popular idea that people are obliged as a sign of respect to take off their shoes before entering a mosque is incorrect This is done simply because the floors of the mosques sre covered either with mats or carpets, whfch must scrupulously clean as during their devotions the faithful touch them perpetually with their foreheads. If you wear galocbes. or overshoes, you have only to remove them add boldly walk into the mosque :in your boots. Another popular error i connected with the mosques is the be- ; : lief that according to the Koran. Chris ri«ns must not be allowed to enter them. This is absolutely opposed to 1 the teaching of the Koran, which dej Clares that any man or woman may en- | ter a mosque, be his religion what it may.
