It is claimed that Hartford City is so quiet that dogs have taken possession of the court house and that chickens scratch in the yard around the temple of justice, thinking it is a meadow. No wonder the base ball team expired.—Jay county Record. A report from Fowlerton is to the ' effect that Cal Sinniger has given up the fight at that place and will discontinue the publication of a paper, not because his enemies have frightened him or the whitecaps have scared him out, but because his paper therfe has too limited a field and does not pay him.

The bunch would start on a run to some particular spot and the entire crowd would follow. “Bonsey" or some one else must have been attractive. The Hon. L. V. Ulrey spent a few hours in the city yesterday morning while enroute from Toronto to California, where he will inspect an attractive mining proposition. From California he will go to Old Mexico to view the extensive properties in the state of Sonora of the gold and copper mining snydicate in which he is interested. —Journal-Gazette. Second baseman Eichler, who mysteriously disappeared from Bluffton, has joined the team again. Eichler is one of those who think the managers of the Bluffton team are kickers of high degree. He came here several days ago and asked for a berth on the local team. For fear he would be accused of “stealing” men by Bluffton people Manager Hubbard turned him down. Still Bluffton makes a noise like a donkey.—Hartford City News.

An east end citizen has adopted a new method of keeping his neighbors hens out of the garden. He takes a grain of corn, puts a hole through it. and ties the grain with a thread. On the other end of the thread he ties a card on which is written: “Keep your darned hens to home!" The hen swallows the grain of corn and delivers the message in due time. The warm weather for the past two weeks has been very favorable to the growth oft he melon plants and they are now growing very rapidly. The acreage is about the same as last year, and would have been larger, but some of the farmers growing discouraged in the early spring over the continued cold, damp weather, plowed up their fields and planted them in corn. Marshal Green is keeping his weather eye open for a horse that was stolen from Dr. K. C. Evans, of Edgerton. Ind., on July seventh.

A reward of fifty dollars is offered for its recovery. E. F. Gass has changed the color of his cottage home that was generally known as the red house on Adams street to a beautiful shade of cream, edged with a moss green. When Mrs. Gass returns home tomorrow evening she will surely not know her home, as the change has been made since she left on a visit and it has been kept from her. Street commissioner Stults has completed his work of taking up a portion of the old tile sewer on Adams street and putting in new tile and the same is now in excellent condition, and shape to carry off all the surplus water that may accumulate. Mr. Stults will always remember this job as it was here that he had two fingers and a rib broken by coming in contact with a piece of falling timber. Carl Centlivre. who played with the Shamrocks, on the Fourth and on last Sunday, yesterday signed a Shamrock contract and is now a member of the team that has sent more ball players into league company than any semi-pro. team in Indiana. Centlivre shows up fine, and if he doesnt make the Notre Dame team next spring it will be because they have an abundance of mighty good material up there. —Journal-Gazette. The base ball team were at the park most of the afternoon working out, so as to be in shape for Sunday’s game at Portland. The boys are confident of evening up old scores with the Jay Birds, and will make a heroic effort to capture the fourth game.

The laundry horse that is driven by young Engle ran away at noon today and for a time it looked as if things were going to be torn up considerable. The driver showed considerable spunk and succeeded in getting control of the horse before it had traveled very far. Harry Mote, confined in the Blackford county jail at Hartford City awaiting admittance to the East Haven asylum at Richmond, has lost a few more of his marbles during the past fe wdays and yesterday took complete possession of the inside of the bastile, Mote’s particular misguidance since coming back from the south is that he is forming a base ball league and yesterday he formed a few leagues of water on the jail floor, piling all the bed clothes in the center of his cell and turning the hose on them until floated. —Bluffton Banner. ""Farmers T should be' careful - about putting wet hay in their mows. It is hot only liable to spoil, but becomes dangerous. All kinds of grain, whether threshed or in the straw, will go through a sweat when a quantity is placed together, and there is nothing more dangerous than clover hay. Many barns have been burned in this w'ay and no one seemed to know the real cause. After hay is put in a mow every window and door of the barn should be thrown w ide open for a week or more, and not closed unless it becomes necessary on account of a storm. The harvest is so great in the state of Kansas that the trains are met and all who will are taken to the grain fields in automobiles, and carriages at two dollars a day and board. In Topeka the merchants have signed agreements to close their stores for ten days and allow their clerks to help the farmers care for their grain. At Atchison, the shops and railway people have given, their help a vacation of two weeks and are urging them to go into the harvest fields, saying to them their position will be held for them on their return. Wallace is the name of the new shortstop that Nash secured, while on his scouting trip, and he is here ready for duty. Wallace is an experienced player and one that prove a tower of strength to the local team, he can also hit at a terrific clip. Nash made an attempt to secure the services of Brown, of Lebanon, but that youngster had gone to the Indian territory, and he could not persuade him to change his destination. Nash is confident that the man he has secured will fill the bill, and that he will make a hit with the fans. Manager Murray, of the Bluffton team, has more games to cancel. South Bend has asked Larue third sacker, for his terms. Eichler, the second baseman and Larue had a fight July 4th and Eichler has disppeared The only real ball players in the Bluffton bunch have now left. They are Hardin, Gillis, Larue and Eichler. The Bluffton management has the reputation of being the hardest loser in Indiana. When the team loses none of the backers or the fans will speak to the players, it is said. A large crowd was present last evening at the carnival grounds, and every show and every stand did a thriving business. The night was a beauty, in fact it was the only night that the carnival company has experienced that it did not cloudy, and rainy and the people took advantage of the same and took in the various shows. The carnival is in many respects far above the average and the shows are clean in every respect as the management does not tolerate anything out of the ordinary. This will be their last day in our city.

"Miss’Viola Yeager, of Berne, who has been visiting friends at Bluffton for some time, passed through here today enroute to her home. Mark Twain was asked at one time whether it was good or bad luck to open a newspaper and have a spider drop out. Twain said it was neither good, nor bad luck, for the spider was merely looking over the paper to see who of the merchants were not advertising so that h« might weave his web over his front door and be undisturbed. L. C. Waring, of Decatur, one of the proprietors of the glove factory in this city, is at Columbus, Mississippi, this week to attend the funeral of his mother, who died on the old Waring plantation near there Sunday morning at 9:30. Mr. Waring received a message Saturday afternoon that his mother was very low ,and he left at once for home.

That Cal Sinniger, formerly of Warren, now publisher of the Fowlerton Review, free lance of the editorial room and well known fearless fighter, has declared to give up the unequal battle Ke has waged at Fowlerton for many weeks, was the text of a report that reached this city last night. It was stated that while undaunted by the threats that were poured upon him by residents of Fowlerton and vicinity, unaffected by the whitecap notices Heft at his unmindful of the persecution in the courts, Sinninger has found that the field of the Review was too limited to make ft a financial success and has determined to remove to a more congenial place.

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS. Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Old Adams County bank, will be held at their banking house, Decatur, Indiana, at 10 o’clock a. m., on Tuesday, August 6th, 1907, for the purpose of electing seven directors to serve for the ensuing year, and to transact such other business as may come before them. E. X. EHINGER, 169-19 t Cashier. o Marshal Green received a notice this morning announcing the fact that the safe of C. W. Butler, of Defiance, 0., was blown open on July 12th and the following amount of money taken: Four ten dollar gold pieces, seventy dollars in paper money, thirty dollars in old silver coins and a gold filled open face watch, man’s size. A reward of twenty-five dollars is offered by the county commissioners and Mr. Butler also offers a reward of the same amount for the recovery of the goods. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the population of the city had been drawn south of Wildcat by the circus, thieves opened and entered a freight car in the Clover Leaf yards and made away with property of considerable value. It is not known just when the robbery occurred, but the police are strongly inclined to think that it was in the daytime. It was seen that the seal had been broken on one of the cars and investigation disclosed that thieves had made free with the contents. —Kokomo Tribune. A traveling man struck town today and before leaving Delphos left some of his friends unmistakable signs of his feelings over lack of paved streets. Walking down the principal business street said he to a passerby "Is this Mud street?” “No,” replied the man thus addressed “This is Main street.’’ “Well,” retorted the salesman “from all appearances it is mud street. Before reaching Delphos I heard in Lima a rumor that you people were talking about paving one or more of your streets. Well, you cretainly need a pavement. Towns of this size and even smaller than this have nice brick streets. You people had better brace up to the times and put in a pavement.” —Delphos Herald.
