Now is a good time to notice the effect along the public roads of mowing the weeds on the outside as along some of the farms the roadsides are like meadows while along others the ragweed and other obnoxious growths are taking things by storm. The custom is different in different localities but neighborhood civic pride ought to prompt others to drive along the highway occasionally when they are using the mowing machine. In some places the ground is rough, but many weeds are flourishing where a machine would run without any difficulty. Another eyesore in many communities is the numerous signs nailed up on trees and fences and in many instances advertising men who are no longer in business.

The figures of the bureau of statistics show just a few under 20,000,000 horses in the United States, with a valuation of $1,846,578,000 or $93 per head. This compares well with the figures ten years ago when the total number of horses was 15,000,000, valued at $500,000,000, or only about SB3 i per head. The horse has not “passed.” A satement as to the condition of ; the state and private banks in Indiana, just completed by R. G. Ogles--1 by. bank examiner in the office of the 1 auditor of state, shows that the ac- ; tual available resources carried by the Indiana banks for the protection of their depositors are better than the average for any of the states in the union. I The question of fuel is one that , need not bother the average man at the present time with the themomi eter flirting with the century mark, but it is one that must be faced withI in a short time and he is a wise man ; who takes time by the forelock and lays in his supply of coal and wood, while the price is still keeping company with the hot weather. At a late hour last night it was decided that the Knights of Pythias would take the band with them to Indianapolis when they go next week for the dedication of the new Pythian Temple and the state encampment of the Uniform Rank.

Cooper, of this city, and arrived here yesterday morning from Richmond, where the eastern hospital for the insane had been visited.

With the perfect playing of Pfefferle at short, there is a demand among the fans to have Thomas put on first. That place is his position and he plays it as well, if.not better, than any man on the team. He no doubt would give better service at first base than he can in the outfield. Boyd or Guhl either one can play field as well as any man now playing there, so why not put Tommy on first, and please the fans? With Ryan, Johnson and Donovan in the outfield, with Boyd or Guhl to help out in a pinch, what a splendid outfield we would have.— Bluffton Banner.

Beech -Nut Brand xwS A Beans Already prepared in sanitary cans. It is great. F. V. MILLS William A. Ketcham, department commander of the Indiana G. A. R., has been named as a member of the committee appointed to see to it that the veterans who attend the National Encampment at Saratoga Springs. N. Y., beginning Aug. 20, get all that the contract with the Saratoga people calls for. Other members of the committee are John C. Shotts, of Yonkers, N. Y„ and J. Payson Bradley, of Boston. What an outfield we would have now had it been possible to retain Burns, of Decatur, and Durham of Portland. Jelly Burns is clouting the horsehide to a fare-the-well, while Bull lis engaged in the gentle pastime of I knocking boards off the fences. Burns I Wednesday secured a three-bagger and a home run. Wiltermood, Burns and Durham would have made an outfield to give any pitcher in the league the frosted pedals in facing.—Richmond Palladium. The county commissioners have spent most of their session today going over the thirty-four petitions for new gravel roads, and a member of the board said this afternoon that they expected to get through with all the petitions this afternoon and adjourn probably this evening. They will grant the petitions and their last work this afternoon will be to appoint the viewers, who will act in conjunction with the engineer, Surveyor Harvey Sark.—Bluffton News. 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 made 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 2-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. Cuno Kibele passed through Bluffton last evening on his way home tb Muncie, from a business trip to Ft. Wayne.

Oman, of this city, is still working with Mr. Kibele, and may move to Muncie in about a month to reside. —Bluffton News. In a letter addressed to the private banks of the state John C. Billheimer, state auditor, has informed the banks that under the depository law, which goes into effect December 1, they must submit to examination before they can become public depositories. The auditor has offered to make the first examination prior to December 1 in order to avoid the rush. The law does not require the auditor to examine private banks for this purpose before December 1, but several banks have already been examined and applications have been filed by about a dozen more. A flood of answers is expected from the auditor's letter.
