The formation of the Indiana-Ohio ' league has practically killed semi-pro- ' fessional ball in the state, and a ’ glance at the sporting columns of the 1 daily papers will show that the Never r Sweats flimflammed the Horseshoes, - the Invincibles played rings around 1 the Naps, the Spiros played havoc ■ with the Wanderers, the All-Stars defeated the Moonshiners, the Sluggers . were wiped off the earth by the Hitless Wonders and the Trolley Dodgers were snowed under by the Dog Fennell team from Boone county.

The action against Ray Reaser, who was arrested on a charge of permitting and allowing persons in his barroom on Sunday and who took a change of venue from the court of * Justice Hanthorn to the court of Jusj tice Willis Ketcham, at Huntertown, will be heard on Tuesday, August 13. —Journal-Gazette. • | New hay has begun to come into market and most of it is of a fair quality. The wet weather has made the crop come out wonderfully, although there are some weeds in the fields. Other fields are clean and , will yield a big crop of fine timothy. ! Farmers are expecting a good price on account of the almost total failure of the clover crop. One great drawback has been the heavy rains. So many showers coming close together did not allow the hay to cure properly. Clean hay that is properly cured without any rain will bring a good price If the oats blades are damaged as much as the fanners think that will be another cause of keeping the hay at a good price.

MOTT’S THE SPOT! It’s the County Seat of Hettinger County, North Dakota, and Going Right to the Front. Considerable has been published in the papers of late about Mott, a new town in North Dakota, and for the benefit of our readers who may not be thoroughly familiar with this new booming town we will attempt to give a brief outline. The county of Hettinger, North Dakota, was organized early last spring and the town of Mott was platted and a settlement started there for the purpose of making that the county seat. The growth of the town has been remarkable from the start, and while four months ago there was nothing but a prairie there, now the town of Mott looms up with about thirtyfive buildings, a hotel costing $12,000 in the course of construction, and many other improvements in sight that will make it the best town in that section.

The town was laid out by the Wm. H. Brown Co., one of the largest real estate firms in the Northwest and very well known especially in North Dakota, where they have colonized 5,000 families in the last twenty years on the rich and fertile lands of Morton, Stark and Hettinger counties. The town has a small population at the present time of between 100 and 200 people. Its postoffie, though but a few months old, is now of the third class, which is a good indication of the prosperity of the community. The town will grow rapidly. It’s the capital of 32 fine townships of land. The Northern Pacific has a force of men on the ground now setting grade stakes for a line of road from Mandan to connect with its line in Montana. It is also said the Milwaukee and Soo lines have intentions to build through this locality. The country around Mott is settled largely by eastern people, which largely accounts for its properous condition. Lands range in price from $12.50 to $20.00 an acre. Good water is easily obtained at a depth of from 15 to 60 feet Free coal can also be had for the digging. One general store carrying a $12,000 stock is now located at Mott and another large one is in the course of construction. The court house now building is of cement blocks and will be a handsome and substantial building when completed. A new steel bridge is also being built across the river near the town to cost $4,000. The Wm. H. Brown, Co. have their eastern office in Chicago, and work largely in lowa, Illinois, Ohio and other eastern states. They maintain forty horses at their Mott barns to accommodate landseekers. Their representatives everywhere are men of reliability who never make a statement that the land will not fully corroborate. They tell the facts and merely ask that intending homeseekers will go out and see for themselves see the land and what it is doing right now; talk with people right there who have had several years' actual experience, and drink in the wonderfully inspiring and upbuilding atmosphere and the grand panorama evereywhere spread out for their scrutiny.

We can easily realize that Mott’s the Spot because it is the center of a permanently rich and productive country, and a good place to grow up with as Mott lots may soon be worth many times the present prices.

GOINGTO ’BUILD?THERE was a time when about all a man had to do to build a house was to chop down a few trees, get ==== his neighbors together, and have a “raising bee,” and in a short time a log house was the result. But little, if any, hardware was used Today all this is changed, and builders’ hardware is an important part in the plans and specifications. Doors and windows must be equipped with artistic and serviceable locks, and a great deal of taste is shown In the selection of this important part.
