Or was the senator only grandstanding last winter in the legislature when he turned loose all his eloquence against the Sunday base ball bill? The, senator, you know, talked big and much about his opposition to the des-' ecration of the Sabbath day, and made ■ many people believe that he was really in earnest in his declarations. But I along came the dickey birds, the flow-{ ers began to bloom, and all nature I turned on the colored lights and made a desire to cast off winter clothing and ] be young again. In a fit of enthu-1 siasm the people of Portland, (the senator's home town), organized a base ball team. The season, financially was very backward. The treasury got to the point where something had to be done. Somebody said: “Let's play Sunday ball, and fill our coffers full to overflowing.’’ No sooner said than done, and the senator, being a dyed-in-the-wool fan, sits in the front row’, east peanuts and roots every Sunday the weather is fair and the air balmy. Probably the senator thinks it not necessary for him to practice what he preaches. But the probable truth is that last winter, in the legislature, ‘ the senator preached from the wrong text to fit his own inclinations. —Bluff-: ton Banner.

BLUFFTON TODAY Ball Club Sailed for There at Noon WILL RETURN FOR THURSDAY I I i Some Other Dope—Bluffton Defeats i Ossian by Narrow Margin But Were Outplayed. i The Decatur champions went to Bluffton today, where they cross bats • with the tailenders, playing two games ■ |at that place and returning here for I two games Thursday with the same _ I team. The local fans are hoping for an even break at least. In the meantime Richmond, who is tied with the locals for first place, is playing at . Van Wert, and Kokomo is at Portland. L The fight for the pennant is as close as could well be imagined, only three games and a half separating the top and bottom. Bluffton defeated Ossian yesterday by a score of six to five. At that the i leaguers w’ere outplayed at every {turn of the game. Ossian got eleven J hits off Hull and Boyd, while Prough held his opponents to eight hits. : Stewart, Portland's shortstop, claimed to be the fastest in the league, i has jumped, and they are trying to 1 secure Bert Tooley to take his place. Manager Grant, of the South Bend I 'Central league team, wants Richmond' to win the 1.-O. pennant and realizing that he can't do it without help is thinking of loaning him Pitcher Moore and Shotrstop Bush, two of his best men. No wonder the South Bend fans have lost interest, if the manager has no more wish to win any of the remaining games, even if he can’t win the pennant. The world loves a game loser, not one who quits. Remember just after the schedule for the remainder of the season for the 1.-O. league had been made out, what a yell we put up when it was found out that we were given only l two games with Van Wert “one of the weakest aggregations in the circuit?” Since the Ohio club has invaded the { camps of the Portland and Decatur teams with such disastrous results to

the latters, you cannot find a fan ; in Bluffton who is not shaking hands (with himself because the menu before us is as it is. With the exception of four players Van Wert has the entire Dunkirk team and it seems that they are bound to win the biggest percentage of their games from now on. They transferred here last evening on their way home from Tortlanl. —Bluffton Basner. When Cap Behringer of the Decatur Commodores predicted Saturday after his crew had been trounced is a 2 to 1 game that he and his hired men would take two games from the locals Sunday afternoon we thought him to be a jovial joker. Now we look upon him in a different light, we regard him as a prophet Sunday afternoon a double header was pulled off at Athletic park and with fiendish glee the Commodores copped both contests, seventeen hundred fans being witnesses of the double scalping bee. —Richmond Palladium. o_ TYPHOID FEVER Claims the Rev. Reckard as Victim AGED PASTOR IS CALLED Was Seventy Years Old a nd Well Known—Had B e en 111 Several Weeks. Rev. Dueling Brayton Reckard, who for many years has resided in this city and to whom the credit is due for the installation of a Baptist church in this city, has been claimed by the grim reaper. For many years he has served in the ministry and his services were in lemand at many important charges. Several years ago he moved to this city, and by energetic and ceaseless work he raised the funds that paid for the building of the Baptist church in this city. It was at the time of the building of this church that Rev. Reckard was overtaken by an attack of nervous prostration and since that time he has been ill most of the time. About a month ago he was taken ill with a fever that proved to be a hopeless case of typhoid and owing to his old age, even his closest friends did not entertain hopes for his recovery. Last night at about eight o’clock the end came and he passed peacefully into eternity. The deceased was bom in Vermont and was seventy years and twenty days old. The entire community mourns the departure of such an estimable citizen and the bereaved friends and relatives have the sympathy of all. The funeral will be held at the Baptist church Thursday morning at ten o'clock, and interment at the Maplewood cemetery.

P. H. Bies and sister,Matilda.arrived last Saturday from West Newton, Pa., and are visiting Mr. and Mrs. P. Schneider an! other relatives. Miss Nellie Ressler returned to her home at Tipton, Indiana, this morning after making a pleasant visit in the city with friends and relatives. A large number of people were at the fair grounds today watching the proceedings of the first day of the Great Northern. No admission was charged today and many little folks as well as grown people were seeing what they could. ANOTHER CROP OF CANDIDATES Congressman Rauch Would not Mind Being Governor. The latest developments in Democratic state politics, as reported by the Indianapolis Star, is an announcement from a semi-authoritative source that George W. Rauch, of Marion, representative in congress from the Eleventh Indiana district, may be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. Mr. Rauch’s friends in the Eleventh district are planning to spring his name at the opportune time, and it is said he Is by no means displeased over the movement- The effort to secure the gubernatorial nomination for him has the backing of his most sincere friends, as they do not believe it is possible for him to be re-elected to congress in such a strong Republican district, and they would regret to see his political career nipped in the bud. Among the Rauch gubernatorial boosters are a number of Republicans. who cherish the warmest friendship for him on personal grounds, and wish him a bright political future. 0 VITAE ORE.
