The electric theater proprietors will present a new show tonight, entitled "Lighthouse Keepers in a High Sea.” The scene is a most interesting one, showing the rescue of a drowning lady after which the rescuers both fall in love with the lady and become rivals. Richmond and Van Wert are both laying claim to the right of the services of Wentz, the Wapakoneta pitcher. Wentz accepted the terms of both teams, but his first declaration was with Van Wert.

Police in all towns along the Big Four have been asked to find Jacob! Layer, a Big Four conductor who dis-, appeared more a week ago under * peculiar and mysterious circumstances. His wife in applying to the po-] lice, said that her husband had left home a week ago to go on his run, and ( that he had failed to return home. He had drawn his month's salary of $90.1 By the last of the week the State Tax Board will give out the result, of the different appeals at this, the third session, and also announce the findings on the real estate and personal property valuations of the several counties.

The elevator men of this city and county report that this year s crop of wheat is slow in being brought into the market and they attribute a number of reasons for the delay. The backward season made wheat cutting and threshing later than for some years past, and there are still a number of farmers who had not threshed this year’s crop and it may be some time before they can get the machines in their part of the county. Rochester boasts of a man who always goes to church and invariably sleeps “through the services,” unless the sermon is particularly stirring or the soloist is a handsome one. The other night this sleepy-head went to the five cent show, There was some time before the show commenced and he dropped off into a gentle sleep. The sonorous tones from the megaphone, the ragtime on the piano and the warbling of the solist did not disturb him in the least, and he marched out with rest feeling, no doubt, that he got five cents worth.

August Hirschke, a fireman has been , paid $8,200 by the Clover Leaf for the loss of both his legs.

County Clerk Charles Reeves has received a letter from the authorities of the insane hospital at Richmond I stating that there is yet no room for I Harry Mote and that they cannot tell when there will be. Mote’s condition does not improve in the least and the sooner he is placed in an institution where he can receive the proper medical treatment the better it will be for him. His case is pitiful. Superintendent Mills of the poor farm has ordered a strait jacket to restrain the demented man until he can be admitted to the Richmond asylum, but it has not arrived. —Hartford City Gazette. the Electric Theatre TONIGHT Admission 5 Cents.
