There is danger that many of the bonds may go begging and in this case the contractors will have to take the bonds themselves. The bonds bear 414 per cent interest.

Unless the engines on the Clover Leaf railroad show some disposition to believe while in the corporate limits, Captain Lane of the police force, is going to arrest them, and their engineers on a charge of disturbing the peace, or becoming a public nuisance, or some other charge that will stand some show' of "sticking.” The captain says that the big engines blow their big siren whistles almost continuously while passing through the city, and that at night the persons living near the right of way get sleep only in the smallest quantities.—Kokomo TribuneUncle Sam, by a new order, issued from the postoffice department at Washington, announces his intention to insist upon punctuality from his entire corps of clerks and employes.

Mr. Wellman, has the following to say of Dr. W. N. Fowler, the Bluffton man serving as surgeon to th eexpedition: "Major Hersey and Dr- Fowler were invaluable. In fact, every man of the staff or work- | ing force did his best.” For the first time in five years, at so early a time in the season, Frankfort is without a base ball team and that after the city was the first in the state to support a salaried ball team and had played a salaried team for five years, being in the bame for almost two years before the interest in the state was worked up to that point where other cities put in a paid team of players. In the formation of I the league that made it necessary to disband, the Frankfort team of this city was not treated right by those: back of the movement and it is feared that their actions, whether intended or not, have given base ball here a serious setback.—Frankfort Cres-j cent. ’ THE Electric Theatre TONIGHT Admission 6 Cents.
