Nevt wek the Adams county teachers' institute will open and the teachers from all the surrounding country will no doubt be present to enjoy the same.

Owing to the fact that so much of the new oats and wheat is coming on the market in a badly mixed condition, the firm of Niblick and Co. are quoting a price which they will pay for this mixture. Especially when the wheat and oats are mixed. Farmers who have grain of this description will do well to look the market list over. Owing to the operators strike, the price of wheat has fallen to seventyseven cents and in all probability will remain there until the strike question is settled. The local grain dealers do not care to quote fancy prices as long as the market is fluctuating as it is at present. The strike being settled the price will no doubt advance.

I is all worked up over the arrest of’ Cliff Bales, the base ball player. It! seems that Bales played last year in j that town, and while there was a social favorite, all the other male in-, habitants having steady jobs and be-, ing busy.

While it is a little early to predict pickle growers in this county say the crop for this year will be indeed short. Os course, owing to the late spring, the pickles have not begun to come in yet, but the factory men say that when they do they will be few and far between. The vines in many sections of the country are dying of a blight, which seems to be spreading and the farmers who have pickles out this year are complaining that the crop will hardly pay for the labor in caring for it. Lon Lanning, who appropriated the funds of the Eagles lodge to his own ose and then departed for parts onknown. continues to remain from the ' sight of his family. The grief-stricken wife and children are living at Noblesville with relatives. The surety company has made settlement with the Eagles lodge and it is the general belief that Lanning will some day be apprehended and brought back to answer.

Wayne, who spent a couple of days in the city with his mother, Mrs. Maria Arlin, of south Main street, returned home Tuesday noon.

Hay fever season is close at hand and no person who owns city property should permit ragweeds to bloom abjout the premises. Even if they don’t affect you, you owe it to your neighbor. Cut them today.

Richmond is playing the fast Decatur team, which has just finished giving us two severe beatings, at Decatur. The Quakers will take the field in a slightly crippled condition, owing to the absence of first baseman Cameron, who missed his train and was unable to reach Decatur until after the game had been played. Horn will probably work for Richmond and .it is probable that Laxon will be in | the box for the Commodores. Laxton has always been an easy proposition for the Quakers and the chances are that Richmond will nose out the same, despite Cameron's absence. — Richmond Palladium. A local option election was held at Ohio City Monday, and it resulted in the wets being victorious by 35 votes. The temperance people of the town had made a strenuous effort to secure a dry town and Drummer Evangelist W. H. Williams, who spoke in Delphos some time ago, gave a number of lectures to influence the citizens to vote for a dry town. The election had stirred up considerable enthusiasm in the surrounding towns and many others used every influence to vote the saloons out, but their efforts were unavailing. Liberty township was voted dry at an election held Saturnay by a decisive vote.—Delphos Herald. By the filing of articles of apprenticeship, binding out his twelve year old son Irving Long, until the lad shall have reached the age of twenty-one years, Isaac Halderman, a farmer residing near Elkhart, has revived a custom long in disuse in this section. According to the agreement which was filed in the county clerk’s office, the Halderman boy is to be educated properly, boarded and clothed and taught farming until he is twenty-one years of age, when he is to receive S2OO. It is stipulated and agreed to by the boy that he shall abstain from the use of tobacco or liquor in any form and that he will mind his “master.” The binding out of the boy followed the death of his mother, the father not being in a position to properly care for and educate him.

From present indications there will be no reunion of the One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana Volunteers this year. The entertainment of the Spanish war veterans was first voted to Logansport, but owing to the sickness of one of the members in that city, an excuse was made that it would be impossible for Logansport to do the entertaining act. Then it was hoped that Huntington woold do the trick. Huntington veterans did not take kindly to the change and claimed it was too late for them to act as host this year. Many of those w’ho were in the last scrimmage Uncle Sam had. from this city, belonged to the One Hundred and Sixtieth and were expecting to attend the reunion wherever it was held. But, like Bluffton’s street fair, it has been postponed for the present. —Bluffton Banner.
