Bluffton ball players were wiped off the diamond last Wednesday by the Decatur club. The Decatur players made their opponents appear like a “rube” band. The Decatur bunch put up the game of their base ball career. —WiUshire Herald. Many of the oat fields of the county show thousands of dead and brown stalks and blades. Whether the growing crop is affected by the ravages of the green bugs, blight, or rust is a much mooted question among the farmers upon which opinion differs. Alleging that Russiaville Lodge Knights of Pythias, of which he asserts he is a member in good standing, is indebted to him for sick benefits and nurse hire aggregating $698.00, Dr. Martin Luther Ailer, of Russiaville, has brought suit in the How-ard superior court to collect that amount. At the meeting held at Indanapolis the Indiana Retail Furniture Dealers association in convention decided to join with other states in a general crusade against what is called the “mail order business." It is thought the outcome of the matter will be the refusal of the furniture dealers to buy from manufacturers selling to mail order houses. Decatur was today visited by one of the poorest Saturday crowds that has been seen here in many months. This is accounted for owing to the fact that the farmers are now busily engaged in looking after their farming interest. The merchants although discouraged today are forced to look on the bright side as they will have their inning in the near future. The town of Monroe is makingTll preparations for a glorious time on next Thursday, July 4th, and are fully expecting a big crowd if the day is nice. A regular old fashioned celebration will be indulged in and they expect to entertain their guests in a royal manner. The Berne band will furnish the music and a number of prizes will be awarded for the different events that fill the program. A number of teachers from all over the county were busily engaged today in jjassing Hheir Examinations preparatory to securing a license to teach in the various schools over the county. The examinations were held at the central school building under the supervision of county superintendent Opliger. The examinations were hard and tedious and took the candidates some time to pass the same. Immediately after the trial of Joseph Murphy, who was charged with trespass and had his hearing last Thursday, the trustees of the church property got busy and raised money to the amount of fifty dollars with which repairs will be made on the building. It is then their intention to hold regular Sunday services in the same and in the future there will be no argument as to the possession of the property as Mr. Murphy stated he would not molest them.

Harbauer, of Toledo, Ohio, will join her in this city and they will make the trip together. Work on the Murray hotel is moving along in nice shape and is assuming the appearance of an up to date house. The tile flooring in the office and lavatory which is going to add materially to the interior appearance of the building. It will take all of next week to lay the floor and the work of then finishing up will be rapidly pushed along. Forty-five car loads of gravel were hauled out along the interurban line yesterday by the gravel train, which is a record breaker. The gravel was distributed along the north end of the line and as soon as that portion is finished work will be commenced on the south end and the same will be pushed rapidly to completion. They are now empoying a large force of workmen. The new uniforms for the base ball team arrived this morning and will undoubtedly be used for the first time Monday, when the locals play against Portland. The uniforms are really nobby in every respect and when the team turns out with them on they will present a very attractive appearance. The uniforms were purchased through the Holthouse, Schute & Co. Clothing merchants. It is reported that one of the North Dakota’s fastidious newly-married ladies kneads bread with her gloves on. The incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on. H eneeds bread with his shoes on. He needs bread with his pants on, and unless some of the delinquent subscribers of this Flag of Freedom newspaper pay up before long, he will need bread without a darn thing on, and North Dakota is no arden of Eden in the winter time. —North Dakota Spieler. Manager Cleary is receiving letters every day wanting the Shamrocks for week-day games. Ow'ing to the fact that the members of the team are engaged in occupations from which they cannot get away no week-day ball will be played, with the exception of a leagu team occasionally at league park. Some good cash guarantees have been offered the team, but Manager Cleary says it is not a question of money, but the proposition of going away with a patched-up team is what is most objectionable.—JournalGazette. Michigan City Dispatch: The star brute of the age was brought to the state prison Sunday evening to serve a life sentence. His name is Joseph C. Ogletree and he comes from New Albany. If half that is said of him is true he is unfit to be confined in the same institution with self-respect-ing horse thieves, murderers and burglars and they would certainly be justified in objecting to having him thrown among them. Ogletree’s crime was that of incest and five of his daughter’s, whose ages range from 9 to 19 years were his victims.

The big pump at the Haugk stone quarries is now running day and night and is constantly throwing a large stream of water from the quarry into the river. The quarry filled up a short time ago owing to the heavy rains and in order to fill his stone contracts he has been forced to run the pump day and night to get all the water out. He fully expects to have his plant in full blast next week. An echo of the Big Four wreck at Fowler, Ind., on the 19th of January last, was heard in Federal court at Indianapolis, when J. H. McHugh and F. L. Littleton, attorneys, appeared to announce that they had agreed upon a settlement in the suit of Mrs. Fanny Price, a widow by the wreck, for SIO,OOO for the death of her husband, Henry A. Price. The widow by the agreement, secured judgment for $5,750. A change has been made in the lineup of the team by Manager Behringer and will be tried for the first time tomorrow. Pierce, who is an old first baseman, and will be sent to that position and Weber who has played short stop will fill that hole sending Captain Behringer to second base his old position. The team will be worked this way at Dunkirk tomorrow, and if it proves successful, will continue in that manner. “Sick” Yachts. There is a form of sickness among boats, declares Forest and Stream, that resembles hereditary diseases, in that they are handed down through succeeding years as a result of mere custom. The cause of this form of ailment, nine times out of ten, is some artificial limitations, called racing rules, to suit which the yacht’s shape is distorted, just as women, to be In style, will lace themselves into a sixteen Inch waist measure or will pad themselves out of all proportion to their natural shape.
