It was a lucky game for the locals for, as shown by the dope sheet, they had little to crow over, outside the bare victory. They were outiielded and had but one th ebest of it in the swatfesting, but they were lucky and combined hits with the visitors errors and had but one the best of it in the game by a large and safe margin.— Bluffton News. A traveling man arrived at a hotel one evening and was duly assigned to a room. While unpacking his personal effects he found hanging in his closet a garment left there by the preceding lodger. It was a feminine robe de nuit—a daintily trimmed nightie. The traveling man rang his bell. “Here, son,” he said to the boy, who responded, "take this and have it filled.”—Ex. The re-numeration of the persons between the ages of six and twentyone was ordered, last week at Terre Haute by state superintendent of instruction, the work is now being done under the watchful eye of the Mr. Cotton’s representatives.

Take all the juice out of one or more onions and you have a smelling compound that will quiet the nerves after a few minutes of smelling, just from sheer weariness, and sleep will result.

New potatoes are now ’ bringing from eighty to ninety cents ’ on the market and the demand for ! them seems to hold up the present ’ high price pretty well.

A new rule put into effect on the Union Traction lines makes round trip tickets good for two persons traveling one way as well as one person traveling both ways. In many cases this means a reduction of fare. For instance the single trip 40 cents, two people can now travel the one way for twenty cents each, whereas they formerly had to pay 25 cents each. This rule does not apply to interline tickets but to Union Traction line fares only. Yesterday a heavy piece of coal fell off the tender of east bound passenger train No. 30 on the Pennsylvania road, when that train passed through Elida. Section Foreman Foust, who was standing near when the train passed, was struck on the head by the coal, resulting in a most serious wound. He was rendered unconscious and bled profusely.

Ten thousand dollars will be spent in the improvement of the plant of the Union Telephone company in Huntington this fall and winter.

While sitting on one of the seats in the vicinity of the Erie depot some of the strike breakers are alleged to have come from one of the saloons and said. “Where are some of those machinists?” Spying these two boys, the fellows made for them and drove them almost to their homes. The young fellows were afraid to stand fight and so fled. —Huntington Democrat. This evening at Rome City, will be held a meeting of the Cottagers’ association for the purpose of discussing ways and means to rid the lake of weeds. The meeting is but a preliminary one, but it is thought enough headway will be made to hold a much 1 large rmeeting next week ah the tabL ernacle on the island, or some other 1 suitable place that will be conveient to all of the cottagers. An effort will be made to purchase a mowing machine that will enterminate the weeds • that have increased so rapidly in Syl- - van lake as to hinder the uses of the - launches and boats.—Journal-Gazette.

The farmer who replaced his old binder with a new one this season instead of putting it off until next, is a lucky man. Implement dealers have just received notice that there will be advance of ten per cent in prices of all harvesting machines next year, the advance being due to the increased cost of iron and wood, which are the principal materials of which the machines are built. The harvester trust has a pretty firm grip on the market, but dealers say that the statement that the raw material has advanced considerably is entirely correct and no doubt has a great deal to do with the advance in cost of machines. It is an unusual think for pickerel to be biting in the local streams this early, but during the past few days river fishermen have made some good catches. As a rule the pickerel fishing is during the spring and fall and men who whip the streams during the hot weather months do not expect any luck with the wall-eyed species. But during the past few days the pickerel have been biting and a number of local fishermen have been surprised to land pickerel instead of bass. The catches are considered out of season. An occasional pickerel has been caught in the rivers in the summer time, but such takes are very rare and the unusual number of fish of this species taken in the past week or two has aroused attention. —Jour-nal-Gazette.
