The scene is as real as life, and shows a Catholic family living cosy on the seashore and the husband is drowned. This show will be repeated tonight and deserves a large patronage. The season is only partially finished, but already the Bluffton management knows one thing that is that there are just two towns in the Immediate vicinity where fair play is given to visiting teams.

The Indiana Bureau of Statistics is sending out blanks to all of the labor unions of the state asking for information regarding every organiation. Each organization is asked to furnish its membership, its decrease or increase in. membership during the year 1906, the length of the apprenticeship term, the rate of wages, the total amount paid out for beneficiary purposes during the year, the average weekly number of sick benefits, the total amount of sick benefits paid during the year, the weekly and yearly death claims, strike benefits, traveling and out of work benefits. Harvest time has been the means of taking many men from the cities to the rural district and in a number of instances factories are hampered by an inability to get as many men as they would like for doing the work in their plants. At the Clover Leaf shops this scarcity of men is felt. Several would be given employment, but the men are not obtainable. Those in charge of putting in the sewers are also experiencing difficulty to get sufficient men for accomplishing the work and it is probable a number will be brought to town from other points. — Delphos Herald.

THE LOCALS SCORED AT WILL (Continued from page 1.) cerned it was on ice, as the visitors had no chance. During the remainder of the game the locals merely toyed with the visitors, and had they played ball the Buckeye team would never have seen the counting territory. The two runs scored by the visitors came in the seventh inning during which time the only errors against the home team were made, and there was practically no excuse for either of these still they will crop in and they make the game all the more uncertain. The visitors displayed no real base ball form, and was the poorest excuse for a team that has been seen here this season and in consequence therewith were sent home last evening, and the game for today was cancelled, the management preferring to let the team lay idle rather than cheat the public out of their money by letting such a team demonstrate how not to play base ball. If this is the best Delphos has, we do not care to see them again, and the management did a wise thing in letting them go home. The following box score tells the entire tale: Delphos.

Three pitchers wer used up by the visitors in yesterday's contest, still the batting continued. Suttles was about the only real ball player that the visitors carried with them, and we all know one man can't play the entire game. The batting of the locals was good to look at and every member of the team fattened their batting averages with the exception of Behringer and Witham. The newly organized Hartford City base ball team was defeated by Port-, land yesterday by a score of six to nothing. Lebanon won from Crawfordsville yesterday by a score of nine to one. Bluffton won another game yesterday when they defeated Kokomo by a score of three to nothing. Blankenbaker pitcher for Bluffton. The feature ot tne game yesterday was the fielding of our new shortstop Wallace, who accepted eight chances without an error. Among these chances being two beautiful one-hand-ed stops that he was forced to don his cap for. Wallace certainly has the goods. Nash, Weber and Winger each secured two hits apiece yesterday, all batting five hundred. Winger caught his usual beautiful game yesterday and is fast rounding into a star of the first water. Way, for a sick man, pitched a very nice game, and aside from being a trifle wild, was in his usual remarkable form. Pierce played a brilliant game in center field, capturing hard drives and also doing his usual brilliant stunts while at bat. He secured two nice drives in five times up, a per cent of four hundred. Have you seen a first baseman play here this season that can equal 'Weber? Well, we should say not, for they are hard to get hold of. as not many of them are playing independent base ball. He certainly is the candy. o Mr. and Mrs. Michael, of Willshire, passed through the city today enroute to Albion, Indiana, where they will conduct a moving picture show.
