Stoneburner is putting on a new show this evening entitled the“ Bandit King,” which is said to be a hummer. Good music and a good show is the motto of the Pictorium. George Teeple,who suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago, is reported as being much better and greatly improved, and should the progress he is now making continue, he will soon be himself again. The famous Comigor, of the last season's Bluffton team, is with the Kokomo bunch playing first base. From all reports, Comigor is being considered as a bad man by the various umpires, and has already been sent to the bench upon several occasions. A funny incident happened last night when a drunken man, while sitting on the edge of the fountain on the court house square, fell over into the water. He furnished amusement for a number of boys for about half an hour. f An editor dares not be content to know only the doings of the world today and yesterday, but he must be alert and anticipate the story of tomorrow’.

R. in Fort Wayne, will be i presented formally by W. A. Ketcham, the present department commander. , The badge is a five-pointed star with a diamond in each point. I Harry Eichler, who a few days ago I announced his intention of leaving the ' local ranks and going to Piqua, Ohio, ! to play independent ball, has re-con- ; sidered taking this step, and after 1 spending a couple of days at his home at Wapakoneta, Ohio, he will re- | turn here for the remainder of the I season. —Bluffton Banner. Miss Blanche Good, of Warren, who . has just returned from Europe w’here I she completed her musical education, I will give a recital in the Warren opera house on the evening of August ' 22.

The temptation to be other than a mere preacher comes to a minister not only from within his own mind, from reading and observation, but the people of his parish and his neighborhood thrust other suggestions upon him. One parishioner wants his opinion on the Sunday closing law, another wants a book reviewed, another likes to see his clergyman quoted in the local newspapers, the local papers like to get the ministers to discuss public questions. A daylight burglary on a small scale took place in town Sunday forenoon at about 10:30 o’clock when one or two boys broke into David Augsburger's repair shop through a back window and went through several drawers and show cases belonging to David Augsburger and Aaron A. Augsburger, the jeweler who occupies the front part of the shop. Neither one of them misses anything particulary, nevertheless the boys may have carried off several items, like knives and boxes of cartridges and such like, of which the proprietors had no accurate account. — Berne Witness.

Both in the city and county there is experienced the same difficulty In getting teachers as was mentioned several days ago.

Hartford City’s base ball team which has had as many deaths as a cat has lives, has bumped the bumps again., punday’s gVme with the Matthews Giants was the last exhibition for the team and the paraphernalia has been turned back to the ssociation by Manager Sweigart. —Hartford City Gazette. In railroad circles there is a persistent rumor to the effect that Supt. McArdle has left the service of the Clover Leaf company and that his successor will be a brother-in-law of Mr. Houlahan.

Harry Mote, w’ho was placed in a straight-jacket by Superintendent Mills, of the county infirmary last . week, succeeded in releasing himself w’ithin twelve hours after the jacket was put on him. Mr. Mills is having a much stronger jacket made for the demented man. Mote's condition does not improve.—Hartford City News. , The Van Wert team needs a reorgan- | ization. It is hardly proper to give adl vice to the enemy but if Kelly, captain and second baseman. could be supplanted by a fast hard hitting second sacker and Wolfe made captain and catcher, the outfit would look entirely different. The Buckeye team has a splendid corps of pitchers, but they get littie encouragement.—Richmond Palladium. Kishiro Ikedo, a young native of Japan was the guest of Noah Bixler yesterday. Mr. Ikeda came to this country six years ago to learn watch making. He studied at the same institute at Toronto, Canada, which Noah is attending and where the two became well acquainted with each other. The young Japanese leaves again today for Syracuse and Chicago. —Berne Witness. “Gilded dining rooms and black greasy kitchen are conditions too commonly observed in restaurants and hotels,” observed the bulletin of the state board of health, just published. This bulletin contains the results of the sanitary inspections made throughout the state during the month of June, and says, eight hotels and restaurants were visited, six were fair and two were poor, due to poor light and ventilation and being unclean. It appears that the McCabe university, which is the outgrowth of an attempt to steal Taylor university from Upland, will die a-bornin'. The school has no funds and no prospects. Taylor university, at Upland, on the other hand, will go along as if nothing had happened. It never was and never will be much of a school, but such as it is it will not be greatly affected by the Muncie abortion. The old students show a disposition to stand by Taylor and the outlook is that the school wiil open in the fall with the usual attendance.
