These teams are certainly evenly matched as the last three games have been extra inning ones.

The instructors are of the best and the sessions are interesting. Mr. Murray has ordered some swell furniture to be installed in the office of the hotel and it will arrive in the near future. The furniture is the best obtainable and will add much to the appearance as well as to the convenience of the popular hostelry. At Logansport it develops that the enforcement of the “blue laws” which caused a suspension of cigar stands, soda fountains and ice cream parlors Sunday is a flank movement of locaj saloon men to enforce the city either to permit saloons to sell on Sunday or to close the town against semi-neces-sities.

Contrary to expectations the price of Standard Oil products have not advanced since Judge Landis imposed a heavy fine on the company. The price of gasoline has been lowered another half cent a gallon a total reduction of a cent on the gallon in the last few weeks. The fine of $29,220,000 seems to have about as much effect on the Standard as pouring water on the back of a duck. It is expected that the war department will give its decision in the near future on the nw bridge which the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad company proposes to erect at Beaver at a cost of about $1,000,000. Plans for the proposed structure were submitted to the war department a few weeks ago. and if approved will be submitted to the board of directors. It is likely that the board wil authorize the building of the new bridge this fall. Some one sent the report to the state board of health that lumpy-jaw-ed cattle and hogs which are considered diseased, under the classification of the new law, were slaughtered and sold to proprietors of eating houses on the Fairmount fair grounds last week, with the resuit that Frank W. Tucker, of Noblesville, food and drug inspector, spent Friday and Saturday at Fairmount trying to learn the truth of the matter. Mr. Tucker stated that he secured evidence which will result in the filing of charges against parties whom he believed to be implicated in | the transaction, although at this time he refuses to divulge any names. For this offense is a fine of not less than SSO, nor more than SSOO to which may be added imprisonment for not less than six months.—Bluffton Banner.

Misses Bessie Randals and Pearl Beam, of Willshire, passed through here this morning enroute to Ft. Wayne for a several days’ visit with friends and relatives. A number of local base ball enthusiasts went to Van Wert today to attend the ball game and root for the home team. The fans think that all the members of the team need is a little encouragement and we can win the flag. Louis Hunt, manager of the Portland base ball team of the IndianaOhio league, was a visitor in this city Monday. Louis stopped here enroute to Bluffton. His team is leading the league and from present indications will have a snap in winning the pennant. Poor old Bluffton continues to have charge of last place.—Hartford City News. All Kenton will pack up bag and baggage Wednesday, when a big excursion will be run to Cedar Point, unde the auspices of the Commercial club, the town’s boosting society.

During the present week the grain ' growers' department of the American Society of Equity will open commission offices in St. Louis and Kansas City. This is the first practical step in the scheme to control the marketing of the wheat crop of the southwest. The farmers of the winter wheat section have pledged to hold millions of bushels until the market price reaches the figure set upon by the society as an equitable price for the cereal. Packie McFarland, the pride of the stock yards of Chicago, defeated Benny Yanger the light weight of Chicago at Ft. Wayne in the fourth round of their scheduled bout of ten rounds in one of the fiercest fights ever seen in this locality. The boys went at it hammer and tongs at the tap of the bell and this kind of milling never ceased until Yanger saw his finish in the fourth. In this round Yanger was knocked down four times and was taking the unmerciful beating when his seconds threw up the sponge. The fight was one of the best ever pulled off in Ft. Wayne and was thoroughly enjoyed by two thousand fans. Miss Fannie Hite, of Decatur, will arrive tomorrow for a visit with Miss Nell Hale—Bluffton Banner. Oren Kunce completed his vacation with his parents and friends in this city and vicinity today, leaving for New York. From that port he sails August 22 for Panama, to resume charge of the blacksmithing department on the Panama railroad. He is on a leave of absence of fifty days granted him by the government. He must remain ten months in the service again before he secures another vacation, but he does not think he will return to this country before the completion of the canal, as the work demands the best efforts of the officials. Mr. Kunce is foreman in charge of one of the largest smith shops on the Isthmus railroad, which parallels the new canal, and is used almost exclusively in the construction work. —Huntington Herald.
