'On Saturday the Light said: “The 1 Leesville Browns, our base ball team, went to Pennick yesterday and played there. The result was a tie score of 5 to 9 in favor of Pennock.” President Kling is not making a favorable impression in some cities

over the circuit. The Van Wert bulletin yesterday devoted nearly a column to him, ridiculing in strong terms his decision in the Van Wert-Rich-mond controversy over pitcher Wentz. The tamest thing said about it was that it was “rot.” He ruled that the player went to Richmond and the game to Van Wert. Otis Frazee, a man well known in . ! this city, made a fruitless attempt to j end his life by the carbolic route in ! Ft. Wayne a few days ago. The young ] I man had taken on a little too much in consequence of which his wife bei came wrathy and a hot quarrel enI sued, after which Frazee tried to ’: swallow the acid. He discovered that ■ ' the stuff was rather torrid before he ■ had taken much of it and did not ' | drink it all. The only injury inflicted t 1 was badly burned mouth and throat. s j Findlay Nash, who has been playing ■! right field on the local team for sever■j al months, severed his connection with the team today and left for Gar- - rett, w’here he will take up his rails road duties. Nash is a ball player of i no mean ability and was considered - one of the best heads on the local -' team. The result of this move was ] due to an injury he received a few’ ! days ago in which he injured his back ': and since that time has been unable to do justice to himself or the team, i and he in a gentlemanly way, asked for his release. We certainly wish j Nash success wherever he may go. I Brice Kinney, state gas‘inspector, is in Vincennes. Brice says that he is going to secure options on all the salt water that is being found in Indiana oil fields, and bottle it up to sell to people who are too poor to go to the seaside resorts to get J their salt water baths. Brice says j there is millions in it, and proposes jto let a few of his friends in on a i sub-cellar proposition. The plan is a novel one and the stock is going fast. Col. Al Ford, tried to corner ! the whole thing by buying all the I stock, but Brice would not see his i friends froze out, so only let the colj onel have six million shares-Vincen-nec Commercial. Elmer E. Hiatt, of Fairmount, deputy game warden, was in this city Monday. Mr. Hiatt appeared before the county commissioners in regards to a bill of $45 which he has been trying to collect for almost a year. Mr. Hiatt destroyed several nets in the possession of Flora Lechlen, of this city, last October and according to the game laws he should have been paid for his work by the county. The commissioners thought his bill was too high and refused to pay it and the affair has rested until today. Mr. Hiatt seemed determined to collect his bill and unless the claim is granted he will probably file suit against the county.—Hartford City Gazette.

A Butler editor tells his subscribers how he feels to own a million dollars. “When you have a million one-dollar bills, he said, and pile them up on top of one another, and you want to take off the top one, you will have to reach up 276 feet. If you had the amount in silver dollars the pile would be one and one-half miles high and so on. We know because we tried it the other night, but the bed broke and we woke up. Thomas L. Childs, a former resident of Marion, and a man who will be kindly remembered by many citizens, has just completed the organization of a $300,000 match company, which will be established at Akron, Ohio.

Thorn, an Erie brakeman, while riding in the caboose of his train, had a knife open and as the train slacked up sttdenly, the blade of the knife punctured his hand at the base of the left thumb. He called on Dr. F. W. Grayston to have the wound dressed. —Huntington Herald. Secretary Charles Downing of the Indiana state board of agriculture has been unable to secure reduced rates to the state fair from the western passenger association. Mr. Downing mads the usual application recently to Commissioner F. C. Donald, at Chicago. but received a reply to the effect that owing to the passage of the two-cent fare law in Indiana the association could not afford to make a reduced rate from all points on its lines. This means that there will be no reduced rates to the fair from outside Indiana. It was reported yesterday that thirty-five of the strike-breakers at the Bass foundry had quit their jobs. It was stated that owing to the fact that some of the old molders were returning to work Superintendent Fisher had given the strike-breakers all the undesirable jobs, and although their pay had not been reduced they were 1 highly dissatisfied with the new arrangements. Mr. Bass says that only fourteen of the men walked out and that six of them have signified a desire to return to work this morning. Three of the old molders will return to work this morning.—JournalGazette. the Electric Theatre TONIGHT Admission 5 Cents.
