The police were called down on Sawdust avenue yesterday afternoon to quell a little neighborhood disturbance. This end of the city is getting a reputation of being the fighting end as the police are called more into that district than any other in our city. Unless these disturbances cease arrests will follow and some one will be compelled to pay a fine. The order of Railway Telegraphers has put a ban on teaching boys the “art of telegraphy.” The organization heads say the step has been taken to bring about a better wage condition.

Tom Railing, wife and babe, arrived last evening from Tecumseh, Mich., and expect to remain in this city for the time being, at least.

This commodity now wholesales at twenty-five cents a pound and the consumer must pay twentyseven cents in the local market. Manufecturers are paying twenty-three cents for sweet butter fat cream and the supply is hard to get at that price. Cattle are unable to feed owing to the hot weather and fly pestilence, and farm hands are working over time in other departments of farm labor at this season of the year. Dog days possibly is a factor in the decrease of the supply, too.

The managers of the local team are endeavoring to land another pitcher, it being a man by the name of Richardson, from Coldwater, Mich He is a left handed man and is re ported as being a very clever artist. After four weeks of hard, consistent labor contractor Haugk has completed four squares of his brick paving contract on Madison and Third streets and with good weather will complete his contract in three weeks, which will be well within the limit set oy the council. A number of local farmers were in our city last evening looking for men for their farms and assist them in gathering in the grvii and help reap the harvest. However, so far as we are able to learn they were not very successful, as there are not many men laying around idle. Kid Winger received a message this morning from Cincinnati, 0., stating that his mother was quite ill and he left on the afternoon train for his home. This will necessitate a change in the lineup of the team, sending Weber behind the bat, Pierce at first and Way in Centerfield. J. C.

A Kokomo special says' “The common council failed to take seriou - ly the ordinance just adopted bv Frankfort concerning the care and custody of dogs.

Workmen were engaged yesterday in cutting a hole through the top of a vault in the third floor of the government building. The combination of the lock of the vault has been lost and rather than break open two steel dors it was decided to effect an entrance from the top. A steel door will be put in the entrance to the room over the vault, making it a dou-ble-tiered safety deposit. Only old records are stored in the receptacle. —Journal-Gazette. Carpenter Miller, while (following his usual vocation yesterday, had the misfortune to run a nail in the first finger on his right hand that ran into the bone. The finger is very sore and will necessitate Mr. Miller taking a short vacation, although he hates to do so at this time in the season. Will Hillinger, a member of last year's team, now with the Jackson, Mich., team, in the Michigan state league, was in our city yesterday greeting old friends.' Hillinger is now reputed as being one of the leading hitter in that league. With the closing of the base ball season in Hartford City, which takes place Wednesday night, thought of next year's team uprises. Montpelier and Hartford City will likely form a combine and put a team in the field. The local association will endeavor to secure a carnival company to hold forth at the ball park for a week this fall in an effort to boost financial conditions. Nothing certain concerning Sunday base ball has been determined. Fredus Pence, of Marion, has made application for a berth to play Sundays.—Hartford City News.

As the busy season for the farmers comes on they are brought face to face with another difficulty besides rain and poor crops. The great amount ot 1 hay and wheat to be taken care of in the county demands the work of more men than can be obtained. The men who have been in the habit of drifting into this locality at this time of the year are casting their eyes in the direction of the western harvest fields and leaving the farmers of this state to do the best they can. Nel Todd arrived home last night from Philadelphia, where he attended as a delegate from the Bluffton lodge, the national meeting of the Elks. Npl says he enjoyed a great trip and that the meeting was one of the greatest ever. He brought home a large collection of badges that are representative of nearly every lodge in the United States. Nel walked but two squares in the parade on the day when thousands of people fainted from the extreme heat and rush of the crowd. —Bluffton News. While diligent search has been made all day for the body of O'Connor. drowned at Rome City Sunday, up to going to press this afternoon, his body had not been found. The Vesey brothers, of Ft. Wayne, went there today with special appliances, but failed to find the body. This brings up the subpect —discussed frequently there —of buying a fresh water diving suit for just such emergencies.
